How can I volunteer in the adult industry?

Thanks for all the responses, everyone. Some trolling and ball-busting here but also some great, serious, informative topics. Really appreciate the talks. Thank you.

What I want:
I don't want to be an actor/talent, obviously. But I'm looking for any other posting that lets me just contribute and be around the industry. Whether it be on a porn video set, a strip club, a massage place, whatever.
I can be a lighting assistant, a camera man, a clean-up boy, someone who carries food around or fetches coffee, someone who does paperwork or bookkeeping, someone who wipes down the furniture in the dressing room with Lysol wipes. I'm open to anything to be honest.

Why I want it:
Many of these industries like film, music, television, etc. people get their start by donating their time and simply being around the "real people" that do it. Then you learn, network, and grow from there. I think the adult world is the same. If you hope to open up your own strip club one day, a good place to start would be to volunteer with a strip club manager and learn some knowledge. If I start learning now, maybe when I'm 40 I'll have my own strip club.

I am 29M. I know I won't be some useless slob on the set. I have some skills I hope I could donate effectively:

• I took several film&video classes in college so I know how to operate a professional camera and how to edit videos professionally. I can operate lighting equipment or carry water bottles around or be a peon.
• I can also do graphic design, editing, and know how to use AI to make graphic content.
• My current real job is an accountant so I can help with finances.

Film and tv industry, adult or not, if you tell a producer, owner. I want to volunteer, get ready to be taken advantage, of, big time.

Get ready to either be a fluffer, or clean the sex rooms and throw out a bunch of used condoms, take out the trash, get coffee, food etc. Don’t expect them to teach you much or anything at all. And don’t expect to be able to have sex with the female talent for free.

If that’s what you want, all the power to you, your life OP.

Tell me where I said that. Bold and underline it.



Easier said than done. How do I find a production? I can't just google "porn shoots Toronto" and then expect to waltz onto set.

Cold call, send emails, knock on doors.
It’s not hard. If you sell yourself, and they hear the word, volunteer, you might get lucky.
Not sure how you’re going to make a living when you’re donating your time and labour for 12 hours plus a day or a set. Or in a club.
