This has happened before. It's not unique. But I haven't seen it for a few years, and I THOUGHT I had improved my vetting well enough to avoid it...  

 
I thought wrong.  

 
Way back in 2014, I was seeing a 23-year-old AA Spinner. She was cute, had a bubbly personality and was an enthusiastic lover. But she required condoms for intercourse.  We had been dating for around 8 months and it was going well...for the most part. Since she required condoms, we generally finished with CIM, which I always like. But this day, she was ready to ditch the Jimmy Hat and let me go finish inside her, which I like even more. But her timing for making the offer was problematic.  

 
We had been in bed for at least 30 minutes, and I was close to the finish line. When I told her I was "ready," she stopped me and said: "I need an extra $1500 to pay my rent." I thought it was a joke, maybe part of a role play. No, she was serious. She got on top of me and held herself just over little Herb. "Can you give me an extra $1500? I'll let you in if you can help me."  

 
I'd like to say I was wise and disciplined, and that I immediately rejected her crude extortion attempt and bade her farewell forever. I'd like to say that, but I cannot.  With our pink parts less than an inch apart, and with all that potential weighing on me, I relented.   And less than 2 minutes later, I found myself an extra $1500 in debt.  

 
That was about 12 years ago. I have much improved my GPS radar detection and my dick discipline game since then.  But I will admit it's still not perfect.  

 
This week I was seeing a new Porn Star SB for our 1st BCD.  We had a great M&G two weeks earlier and, after some scheduling conflicts we were finally meeting for a full date.  At the M&G we had agreed to all critical terms; allowance (rather modest actually), testing, BBFS, boundaries and limits and preferences. I was ready to add one more Porn Star to my roster and was already thinking about the threesome potential.  

 
I picked her up at her place, local to me. We got to my home and had a beverage while chatting for a bit to get comfortable.   A few minutes later I led her to the bedroom and got undressed. She took off her shoes, skirt, and her panties and sat on the side of the bed with me. So far, so good!  

 
But that's when it all went to shit.  
1. She asked me if I had a condom. I reminded her we had agreed not to use them.
2. She said I'd need a test less than 2 weeks old. She had seen my test results at the M&G, but I showed her a newer test, less than 4 days old.  
3. She mentioned that she had just started her period. I asked her why she had not told me before we agreed to meet today... she demurred.  
4. I asked her if she was ok with the boundaries and limits we had previously discussed. She said she wasn't feeling it today and was not comfortable with more than oral on me.  
5. She mentioned that her "usual" rate was 3x the allowance we already discussed, and her boyfriend (never mentioned before!) would not be happy if she got less.  
6. I told her I would only provide the agreed amount and had her start to go down on me.  
7. She did a "start & stop" BJ, trying to get to finish quickly with a HJ.  
8. Once I finished - in her mouth - she wiped up and started mentioning her need for more cash: Her birthday later this week, her need to get her hair done for some event, her need for extra cash to buy home supplies, etc.  She really laid down the guilt trip on me:  I just need xx more! Comon, you have another xx dollars! I refused, politely, but firmly.  
9. We got dressed and I took her home. When I parked in front of her apartment building, I told her the following: "At our 1st meeting we agreed to allowance and other conditions. I will always fulfill my part of that agreement. If you want to renegotiate, we can do that.  But what you did today by changing the rules and pestering my for more cash - that won't happen again."  Have a good day.  

 
She got out and I drove away.  

 
I have no plans to contact her again. Not going to block her, and I will see what she has to say IF she contacts me. But my read is that she is too immature, and is too cash-poor (despite being a working porn star), to be a reliable SB.  

 
I really hate drama (yes, I get the irony in that statement .

How'd you meet her?

Met her through WYP (sister site to Seeking). She has a Seeking profile as well. But it was last active 4 months ago.

I guess we've all learned the hard way!  I had a similar one 8 years ago.  Absolutely stunning, skinny young brunette.  We did the whole song and dance in advance, and she agreed to $300.  When she showed up, it was a different story.  She said $300 was just to show up, for intimacy it would be $600.  I was horny and paid up.  The sex with her turned out to be rather mechanical, so I learned my lesson well.  

"is too cash-poor (despite being a working porn star)"

You'd be amazed at how much porn stars don't make nowadays.  OF is so oversaturated.  Most have turned to escorting not as a few extra $ but as a real source of $.

I recently worked out an agreement with a POT SB, or at least I thought I did. We agreed on $400 after she insisted her minimum was $500.  We agree on a date and time to meet to go BCD. On the morning of, she texts me that she needs me to send her the cost of an Uber because, even though she has a car, she’s a terrible driver! 🤣 The amount? You guessed it: $100. She definitely was going to try to get her $500 one way or another. I just ignored her text and I haven’t heard from her since.

It does sound counter-intuitive.  But just like any business, the 80/20 rule applies.  The top twenty percent of the (active porn stars) make 80 percent of the money.  

 
Now substitute almost any job with the part in parenthesis, and the rule remains valid:  
- musicians
- actors
- comedians
- sales persons
- athletes
- OF models
- Webcam models

 
Here's the typical math for a B-list woman doing porn through a large production company like Vivid or Brazzers:

Typical payment for shooting one scene (approximately 5-10 hours):  $1,000
Number of scenes hired to shoot per month                                                      4 (maybe one a week for the most popular)
Monthly revenue                                                                                              $4000
Fees paid to her agent, manager, etc.                                                           $ 400
Costs for makeup, travel, wardrobe, etc:                                                       $ 500
Net monthly revenue before taxes:                                                              $3100  = $37,200 a year  

The number of shoots per month goes up for the A-listers to as much as 6 to 20.

 
But for C-list porn stars the number may only be 2 to 3 shoots per month.  

 
But these are young women who party and buy stupid shit... so that cash may be spent in a hurry.  

 
Adding revenue from OF can be useful IF they put in the work to be a top 20% "content creator."  But if she's bottom 80% in shooting studio porn, she'll probably be bottom 80% on OF as well.  

 
By comparison, the two A-List long-time PS SB's I have, both earn over $150k a year from a combination of shoots, OF, escorting/sugaring, "appearances" and other activities.

Great post Herb!  I've always wondered whether these ladies can actually make $ doing porn, since the field seems to be so over-saturated with talent.  I assume these numbers are for US porn stars, right?  I wonder how well, or poorly, the eastern European girls do?  There's a few who are really popular, like Krystal Boyd and Gina Gerson.  Do they get paid well?

According to Grok, which just scans written stuff, the average OnlyFans female earns from $150 to $180 a month.  There are estimated to be two million OF performers.  They get to keep 80% with 20% going to the company.  Some performers do make thousands per month, but very rare.

"...She said $300 was just to show up..."

I call this the Las Vegas syndrome: the amount is only to show up!

Yeah, the economics of porn is a mystery to me. There is just a TON of free porn.. and if you want to pay there are millions of choices. Seems to be glut of supply and I'm not sure how much demand (on the paid side).
Personally, in some ways I'd like to support good porn stars, but the choices are so overwhelming, and I don't really want to spend too much time with it.

I too wonder how today's porn can possibly make a profit? Paid advertising seems to be the only way a porn company can possibly hope to recoup expenses of paying models, pay employees, cover overhead. But how do advertisers on porn sites [often the same platform where the porn appears] manage to eke out a living? Most end users are going to skip the ad as soon as it times out? Maybe enough join the subscription sites to still make it profitable, but it would seem to me the bandwidth and storage cost alone would be higher than any actual profit.  

On the other hand, the sheer volume of traffic these sites get apparently do make it quite profitable.
