Former somewhat big-name-ish pornstar here (like most of you, I am a male):
A lot of what this doesn't talk about is the act and the physical changes that go on. Hair coloring, separating yourself big time from who you hang out with and what you do on social media. How you take pictures, stuff like that.
The dressers and makeup artists that treat you prior are fucking amazing. They do a beautiful thing, too. www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/vadim-andreev-before-after-makeup
Hopefully that doesn't kill your drive when you're whipping it out next time.
Would be happy to answer questions.
