As I’ve written previously, I regularly get emails from men who want to be porn stars because I wrote this story a dozen years ago. So far this week, I’ve gotten two — no, three. Oftentimes they are from India or Pakistan.

Two or three times a week, I get an email from someone somewhere in the world who wants to be a male porn star. I don’t respond. My advice? Pick another profession. The woodsman’s job isn’t an easy one. He must get it up and get it off on command while a semicircle of bored male crew members and the camera watch him. God forbid he should have “wood problems,” as it’s known in the business—he might never work again. On top of the pressure, the pay isn’t that great. In this line of work, his female costar is likely making more than he is.

Hi Susannah
At the onset thank you for writing the below blog.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/susannahbreslin/2012/06/08/how-to-sell-yourself/#630bb2136843
Let me give you a quick background of why I am writing to you - I am good at sales, having demonstrated over achievements of targets YoY, however my growth within my company has been limited. And when talking to one of my friend yesterday he had an interesting remark to make - Those who are good at selling to others are usually bad at selling themselves, and they do not realize it.
That triggered my thinking, and I started reading, and first article I came across was your blog that left me stunned.
Your #Tip1 and #Tip2 both were eye openers for me.
I do not follow either as prescribed in your blog.
This blew me away, and I was compelled to reach to you.
Thank you again ! I am based in Dubai. If you ever plan to visit Dubai , do let me know.
It will be an honor to meet you and host you in Dubai.
Your fan !

If you’re a longtime follower of my work, you know that I regularly receive emails from men who are interested in becoming performers in the adult movie industry. That is thanks to a Forbes post I wrote, “The Hardest Thing About Being a Male Porn Star,” which has over 2.1M views. The only advice I can give the latest emailer is to maybe try a search engine other than goggle.
Buy "The Tumor" — my short story that’s been called "a masterpiece of short fiction."
To date, I have received nearly 800 emails from men who want to be male porn stars. They write to me because in 2012, I wrote a post on my Forbes blog entitled: "The Hardest Thing About Being a Male Porn Star." In 2013, I wrote an article for Salon on the number of emails I receive: "'How Do I Become a Male Porn Star?'". In 2015, I wrote a follow up post on my Forbes blog about why so many of the emails come from India: "In India, Porn May Be Changing How Some Men View Masculinity." The original post I wrote for Forbes has over 2M views. Below, a recent email, which arrived with the subject header: "For the Post of Male Pornstar."
I am 25 years Old Indian Guy with strong Sexual power. I am Mentally and Physically ready to do the job . Kindly guide me to earn bucks , I have my passport ready just give me accomodation and proper food.
Thanks and Regards

If you follow this blog, you may recall that I wrote a Forbes blog post back in 2012 that has since proven to be my most-read post there. It's about being a male porn star, and it's since gotten nearly two million views. Around the same time, I started getting emails from men who want to be porn stars. Since, I've received nearly seven hundred emails. At a certain point, I started posting them to a page on this website. Most recently, I updated it with some newer ones.
"I read your article from a few years ago about male porn stars. You probably saved me a lot of time there. I checked out your page, something I generally don't do. Your article spoke to me in the most straightforward of terms so I wanted to thank you for taking such a world view of the matter. I'm considering more realistic work now, not that that's not what I've been doing... but thanks anyway. Your article was very helpful. I'll be keeping my eye out for more of your work I found it to be very piquing of my curiosities. You got a new fan."

Dear Susannah,
i read your proposal over the long weekend and have some thoughts about it. My first question to you is what is this book about in your view? Is it a [redacted] and if so, hasn't that already been done? It's not clear what your point of view is on the whole issue nor what the point of the book is. I understand that [redacted] but why should we care? Why is this a bad thing? These are not people we care about as characters so I'm not sure we should care that [redacted].
You write about the [redacted] but it's not clear whether you think this is ridiculous or not. It is interesting that [redacted] but not sure where that takes us.
In reading [redacted] I'm not sure I understand why you [redacted] is a good thing. What is the point ofthat? And what is the reason to not condemn [redacted] and the [redacted] and then [redacted] in the beginning of the story?
I guess my response to this is that i don't see the book in this. I get that you are [redacted] but unless there are reasons to care about this world and make it interesting, I don't see what the purpose of the book is. Or what your thesis is for writing the book. So perhaps I am simply not the right agent for you on this topic. Or perhaps I need a clearer and more articulate answer to what this book is meant to be.
With all best wishes,
[redacted]

Dear Author,
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your work. We've read your material, and I'm sorry to say that we don't think it is right for [redacted] at this time.
Publishing is a tough business, and the response of any individual agent—or indeed dozens of agents—is not necessarily a comment on the inherent value of the project. Every agent has individual tastes and individual business requirements. We wish you the best of luck in finding the right path to publication.
Sincerely,
[redacted], assistant to [redacted]

Hello Susannah,
I very much appreciate the chance to consider your proposal. I’m sorry that I’m not the right agent to represent the book but I wish you great luck with it.
Best, [redacted]

Susannah,
I enjoyed reading [redacted]. The opening section of the proposal is quite compelling. I had thought the book would then be sort of an investigation/memoir of your experience as a [redacted]. I think the wider angle you’ve taken, though—[redacted], [redacted], [redacted], etc---struck me as too diffuse. I’m sure I’m missing something and another agent will jump at the chance to work with you---you are a fine writer---but I think I had better step aside.
Thanks so much for the chance.
