Prior to discovering this board, I hired a number of guys who were established porn stars specifically because I had seen their video performances and/or magazine spreads (yes, that means this goes back a ways) and thought them hot. Maybe I just got lucky, but I had a satisfactory or better experience with all of them, and at least a few, including Rafael Alencar and Josh Weston, I hired more than once.
Since finding this board, I've used the wisdom here to avoid hiring anyone who did not have consistent endorsements and, again, have had satisfactory or better experiences with all those I've hired, but the feedback on this board has kept me from hiring quite a number of guys who I might have otherwise hired just based on my reaction to their looks and video performances. Also, the porn performer premium, which used to be typically about $50/hour, has now grown to the point that a lot of these guys are more expensive than I'm willing to pay.
