This also depends on the demand of the porn star. Some can work hours and hours in a day and others may just do one scene a day. The amount of hours that gay porn stars work really just varies. Just like a regular job, the longer you have been somewhere the more money you make. The more popular you are the more you will get paid. They will get paid more by a client if they are a porn star. Some even use it to mark up their escort rates. Usually this is way to just have side money or extra income. Most gay porn stars don’t use this as a full time job. If you are just getting started in the business then you will be making on the lower end at $500-$1,000. The people that make the $5,000 are the porn stars that are more popular. Straight people make around $500-$1000 a scene. Gay porn stars make more money than straight porn stars.
