Why?

[Ginger Maxim]

Why do I see so many Transexuals getting into the porn industry?
Seems like so many do it.

I am so tempted to get into porn after seeing so many transsexuals. They are so gorgeous and sexy.
It seems these ladies get much bigger breasts to fit into the industry.

Is this a life transsexuals want to be in after transition?

I personally would love to get much larger then normal breasts implants to be more attractive. I am not sure if I have been pulled into the thought that if I don't have overly large breasts, that I won't be loved or wanted. But I dream about having them.

What is your feelings and thoughts? Am I going down the right path?

Speaking for myself... nope!

It's something I'd consider only if I badly needed the money. As for breast size, you're not alone, personally I'd want a bit more than what hormones would give me alone. But I'm going to wait and see how they do first before making any firm decisions.

Personally, no thank you! I prefer being a monogamous lesbian to being coerced/convinced for economic reasons to engage in activities that hold no interest for me.

That being said, I imagine many girls do it as a means to finance their transitions. It also is a way to avoid the stigma we tend to get in more traditional areas of employment (me go back into teaching? in my state?! Ha!). For others, maybe it's validation that they are pretty or sexy, but the psychological costs I think are too high. If someone wants to do it to finance their tradition, more power to them; however, if they are having to alter their transition plans to enhance their career... it's ultimately a Faustian bargain.

Well, no, not at all. Ts porn is mainly focused on pre-op and I'm not into that at all. I have no judgments on people in that industry but no... it's definitely not for me.

I imagine it has more to do with finances than wanting to do porn. I never would but maybe if I was desperate enough I possibly could if I had to make money to live.

That's similar to asking if porn is something women want to do after growing up, because there are a number of women in porn. Of course not, some decide to do it, most do not, and wouldn't.  So transexuals in general, I would say the overwhelming majority don't go into porn, while some decide to. Or some unfortunately feel like it is their only option to make money to pay debt from surgery/etc? I've heard this happens, but I don't know of any data specifically.
But I don't think that it can be generalized to being "a life transsexuals want to be in after transitions".

I can appreciate the attraction of lots of money - specially as I have no income just now!  Other than that I have no desire at all to enter that field of work.

As for breast enhancements, I would appreciate an increase by one cup size, so I would really be what my bra says I am.  That would be an increase from "small breasted woman" to "ordinary shaped woman".  I really wouldn't like to look like a porn actress or prostitute.

There's nothing wrong with doing or wanting to do porn. Like others have said some girls do it to make enough money to finance their transitions and some people do it because they like it, it's all good. Maybe some girls just want the validation that they're beautiful and hot and doing porn gives them that. Porn isn't evil and it's a valid way to make some money, but you also have to understand that just because you do porn you're not going to be a porn star. The odds are you'll do a few shoots make a quick buck and end up with your pics on the web forever without royalties. Realistically it takes serious luck or connections.

But if you're comfortable with being naked on camera and all that then go for it. Just weigh all the consequences (good or bad) and choose wisely. Who knows you may make it big.

I respect myself too much. I am transitioning to feel more of a whole person (mind and body) with no other interest's. You may want to way the fact that many do not last all that long in the industry. It is a hard (no pun intended) job and life and once your looks are gone, you are too. If someone is comfortable with the risks associated, fine, go for it. It is just not me. Take care baby!
