This may have been true a couple years ago, but it's not true today. Sure, when a girl first gets in the biz, if she's really hot, she'll make good money. But there's far less work right now than I've ever seen--in 10 years of shooting porn in LA.
I've had a lot of male and female talent call me over the past few months, looking for work--I guess they pass directors' phone numbers around--including two LA Direct girls, which is kinda funny as I haven't used LA Direct for over five years. And girls are also much more willing to work around their agency, even though they might be under an exclusive contract.
And talent rates are going down: I share my office with an agent, and a lot of producers/directors are starting to lower what they're offering talent. One very well known and successful director now offers a girl $600 for a b/g scene initially. He'll go up to $700 but won't go any higher--and girls are going for it.
