You’ve probably wondered what items adult performers should bring to the porn movie set. As a performer, being prepared and professional on set is essential to having a successful experience in the industry. It’s crucial to come prepared with everything you need to ensure a smooth and enjoyable shoot. Here’s a list of items that every adult performer should bring to a porn movie set. I call it my “fuck bag”, you call it whatever you like! Just bring it!
ID and Contracts
The adult entertainment industry is a regulated industry, and one of the most important things that an adult performer must bring to a porn movie set is a valid photo ID and contracts. Proof of age is a requirement for all adult performers, as the industry must comply with age verification laws. The production company WILL require a photo ID, such as a passport, driver’s license, or state ID! You have to prove you are 18 or older every day you work in this role. You will need this proof on you. That why I listed it first!
In addition to your photo ID, it is also important to bring any contracts or agreements that need to be signed. These contracts can include a talent release form or performer agreement, which outlines the terms of your participation. It is important to read and understand these contracts before signing them! They will include clauses such as compensation, hours of work, and liability for any health or safety issues.
By bringing a valid photo ID and contracts to the set, you demonstrate that you are a professional and responsible adult performer. This builds trust with the production company and other performers, and will lead to future work opportunities. Additionally, having everything you need on hand will help the shoot run smoothly. There won’t be any delays or interruptions due to missing paperwork. Let your agent help you before for your first few scenes.
Personal hygiene items
Personal hygiene is of utmost importance for adult performers on a porn movie set. (You don’t want to be THAT girl with a stinky pussy.) Not only does it contribute to a positive and comfortable experience for everyone involved, but it is also essential for maintaining good health and avoiding any potential health issues. Here are some reasons why bringing personal hygiene products to the set is so important.
First and foremost, personal hygiene helps to prevent the spread of infections and diseases. This is especially important in the adult entertainment industry, where sexual contact is a common occurrence. This is a big deal! By maintaining good hygiene, you can reduce the risk of contracting or spreading any sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
You may be showering before and/or after the scene! You need that stuff with you in your bag. I bring shampoo, soap, face wipes, makeup, etc every single time. You should too!
Another reason why personal hygiene is important is that it helps to maintain a professional appearance. This includes keeping your skin, hair, and teeth clean and well-groomed. This can make a big difference in the quality of the footage and can contribute to a more positive overall experience on set. Do this beforehand, but be prepared to do it again while on set if necessary. 10-hour shoots can and do happen sometimes.
In addition, personal hygiene products can help you feel more comfortable and confident during your performance. For example, using wet wipes to freshen up between takes or using deodorant to stay fresh and odor-free can make a big difference in how you feel and how you perform.
It’s also worth mentioning that not all adult production companies provide personal hygiene products! So it’s a good idea to bring your own. This can include toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, wet wipes, deodorant, and any other personal hygiene products you may need.
Protection
I know you watch a lot of porn, and everyone is fucking without a condom on. And this is the norm, to be sure. But have protection with you anyway just in case, you never know what might happen.
Sexual protection products help to prevent the spread of STIs. This is especially important in the adult entertainment industry, where sexual contact is a common occurrence. By using condoms, dental dams, or other sexual protection products, you can significantly reduce the risk of contracting or spreading an STI. This not only protects you and your partner, but also helps to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for everyone on set.
Another reason why sexual protection is important is that it helps to maintain a professional appearance. Using sexual protection products shows that you are responsible and knowledgeable about safe sex practices, and can help to build trust and respect with the production company and other performers.
It’s also worth mentioning that some adult production companies may require the use of sexual protection products on set, so it’s important to know and understand their policy. In addition, some performers may have personal preferences or requirements when it comes to sexual protection products, so it’s a good idea to bring your own in case they are not provided on set.
Outfits and props
What? You thought you’d be naked the entire time? Think again! A major part of the adult industry is getting into (and out of) sexy outfits. Outfits and props can help you to get into character and deliver a more convincing performance. For example, let’s you’re playing a nurse or a police officer. Because sooner rather than later, you WILL be playing a nurse or police officer. Wearing a costume or using props that are associated with that role can help you to better embody that character and deliver a more convincing performance.
Over the course of your first year in the business, one of your biggest expenses is going to be buying sexy outfits and props (dildos, vibrators, etc). Prepare for this!
In addition, outfits and props can also help to set the mood or atmosphere of the scene. For example, a sexy lingerie set can help to create a sensual mood, while a police uniform can help to create a more intense or suspenseful atmosphere.
Not all adult production companies provide outfits and props, so it’s a very good idea to bring your own. This can include costumes, lingerie, sex toys, and any other props that you may need.
Makeup and hair supplies
Lights, camera, glam up! In the glitzy world of adult entertainment, your makeup and hair are more than just beauty tools; they’re part of your arsenal to captivate and charm on camera. While many adult production companies offer hair and makeup services, it’s always a smart move to bring your own kit. (You never know when the makeup artist might catch a cold!)
Pack your essentials: foundation, powder, a palette of eye makeup, your favorite lipsticks, brushes, and all the little wonders that help you shine. With these at your side, you’re ready to conquer any camera angle with confidence.
Here’s the thing about makeup and hair – they’re transformative. They don’t just enhance your features; they elevate your on-screen presence. Need to touch up between scenes? No problem. A little powder here, a lipstick swipe there, and you’re back to looking flawless.
But it’s not just about looking good. Your makeup and hair can be powerful tools in bringing a character to life. Imagine slipping into a seductive role with a bold lip color or dramatic eye makeup. Or maybe you’re channeling a more playful vibe with wild curls or a quirky hairdo. Each style choice helps you embody your character more fully, adding depth to your performance.
And let’s not forget the mood and atmosphere. The right makeup look can set the tone for the entire scene. A smoky eye or a red lip can ooze seduction, while vibrant or unconventional hairstyles can bring a sense of adventure and fun.
So, always remember to bring your beauty A-game to every shoot. Not every production team will have a makeup and hair arsenal, so being prepared means you’re always ready to look and feel your best, no matter the role or scene. It’s your time to shine, so make every moment count!
Snacks and water
Having snacks on hand can help to keep your energy levels up during a long shoot. Porn movie shoots can be physically and mentally demanding, and having a quick and easy source of energy can help you to maintain your focus and perform at your best.
Another reason why snacks are important is that they can help to keep you hydrated. Dehydration can have a negative impact on your performance, and can also cause physical discomfort. By having snacks like fruit, granola bars, or sports drinks on hand, you can ensure that you stay hydrated and ready for action.
In addition, snacks can also help to prevent hunger and keep you feeling full. Hunger can cause distraction and reduce your focus and energy, making it more difficult to perform at your best. By having snacks available, you can prevent hunger and maintain your energy and focus throughout the shoot.
Not all adult production companies provide snacks, so it’s a good idea to bring your own. This can include healthy snacks like fruit, granola bars, or nuts, as well as more indulgent treats like chocolate or candy.
Medications
Having medication on hand can help to manage any health issues that may arise during the shoot. Porn movie shoots can be physically and mentally demanding, and it’s important to be prepared for any health issues that may come up. Whether it’s a headache, back pain, or another issue, having medication on hand can help you to manage your symptoms and perform at your best.
Another reason why medication is important is that it can help to manage any chronic conditions that you may have. For example, if you have a condition like asthma, high blood pressure, or diabetes, having your medication on hand can help you to manage your symptoms and ensure that you stay healthy during the shoot.
In addition, having medication on hand can also help to reduce stress and anxiety. Porn movie shoots can be stressful and overwhelming, and having medication on hand can help to calm your nerves and reduce anxiety, allowing you to perform at your best.
It’s also worth mentioning that not all adult production companies provide medication, so it’s a good idea to bring your own. This can include over-the-counter medications like pain relievers, as well as prescription medications for any chronic conditions that you may have.
Music or reading material
Long breaks between shots can get boring, so make sure to bring music or reading material to keep yourself entertained. This can include books, magazines, an MP3 player, or any other form of entertainment that you enjoy.
For starters, music can be used to create a certain atmosphere. Before the scene starts, the director and performers will usually pick out some music that is appropriate for the tone of the scene. This can be anything from romantic ballads to hard-hitting hip hop tracks. Music is often used to help the performers get into the right mindset. Porn sets can be stressful and intimidating, so music can help to create a more relaxed atmosphere.
Reading material is another great way to help actors get in the right headspace. This can include scripts, character bios, and other similar documents. It can also include books, magazines, and other forms of literature. Reading material can be used to help actors understand their characters better and get into the groove of the scene. It can also be used to help them remember their lines and stay focused while they’re shooting.
Communication device
Make sure to bring a working cell phone or communication device to set. This will allow you to stay in touch with your agent, family, and friends during your time on set.
Positive attitude
Lastly, the most important thing you can bring to a porn movie set is a positive attitude. Be professional, friendly, and cooperative with everyone on set, from the director and producers to the other performers. This will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable shoot for everyone involved.
In conclusion, being prepared and professional on set is essential to having a successful experience in the adult industry. Whether you’re shooting your first scene or your hundredth, make sure to bring everything you need, including your ID and contracts, personal hygiene items, protection, outfits and props, makeup and hair supplies, snacks and water, medications, music or reading material, a communication device, and a positive attitude. Good luck and have fun!
