Depending upon whether you have opted to go the Agency Route or to take the Independent Road, your first scene is still just that, so you need to think about at what "level" of porn performance you want to establish yourself on.

Really sit and think about what you are willing to do on camera (and remember, DO NOT EVER DO ANY SEXY ACT ON CAMERA THAT YOU HAVE NOT DONE IN YOUR PERSONAL SEX LIFE). I suggest to women new to the porn industry (especially if you are a female between 18 and 30) to begin by only doing one of the following types of scenes:

Solo	A solo masturbation scene (often with a toy).
G/G	A girl on girl "lesbian" scene (may include toys and/or oral sex).
BJ	Female giving a male oral sex only.
B/G	A boy on girl "straight" vaginal sex scene (often times includes the female giving the male oral sex and/or the male giving the female oral sex).

Depending upon how you look, which studio you initially work with, and what porn niche you fall into, and what you're willing to do on camera goes into the pay you will receive for your first porn scene and being that this IS your first scene, sometimes (though not always) you can negotiate a few hundred dollars higher than the going rate of that particular scene (of course if you produce your first porn scene independently none of this applies).

The reason I say to begin by doing only solo, g/g, bj or b/g, is because it then leaves you room to progress and grow within your porn career. If you start out doing too extreme of scenes, not only may it shorten your lifespan in the industry, but it may also prevent you from potentially becoming a Contract Star with a major porn studio if that is something you are interested in.

A B/G scene DOES NOT include ANAL SEX. Do not let anyone trick or fool you into thinking that it does. Some women never do anal sex scenes their entire careers. Others do it only after they've done several other solo, B/G, G/G, B/G/G and B/B/G scenes. Even if you LOVE anal sex, I suggest you hold off, because your FIRST ANAL SEX SCENE holds value. However once you've done anal, you will be expected in many cases to have anal sex in every scene you do there after.

The first time you are on a porn set can be a little nerve racking. If your first scene is with a mid to high level studio, then trust me, they have seen IT ALL so you have nothing to be embarrassed or insecure about.

Make sure you have 2 forms of ID on you when you arrive for your first scene and a current copy of your AIM (or other testing service which the studio accepts) test. The production manager will make copies of them and most likely take a photo of you with you holding your IDs next to your face. You will be asked to sign some model releases (possibly other releases) and a 2257 form. READ ANY PAPER YOU ARE TOLD TO FILL OUT OR SIGN BEFORE YOU SIGN IT.

Find out in advance whether you will be paid the same day or if you will be mailed a check. Also upon arriving on set, ask the director to verify when you will be paid (helps to avoid any unpleasant surprises).

Find out in advance the stage name(s) of who you will be working with (if you're doing a BJ, G/G, B/G or other type of scene) before you arrive to the studio so that you can google them or go to IAFD.com to see who they are. If your first scene was booked by a GOOD agent/agency they will have this information for you in advance.

When you arrive on set if you are working with someone else (male or female) on your first scene, MAKE SURE you see a copy of their ID and their STD test and that the names on both match up. Also check the date on the test to make sure the test is current - better yet, if there is a computer with internet on set ask to see their test online.

I hate to say this but sometimes, certain performers have bad reputations or stigmas attached to them in the industry and by working with them, it may effect you being booked for other scenes. A good agent will not book you with people in the industry with bad reputations, however don't only reply on your agency or agent - rely on yourself and ALWAYS RESEARCH.

Before any video is shot, generally (but not always) still photos are taken first. Often of you individually (if it's a G/G, B/G, or BJ scene) first, and then you with whoever it is that you are doing the scene with. This can actually seem a little awkward, especially your first time but it's normal "porn scene procedure" and actually creates better results photographically.

Unless your first scene is in a feature movie, most likely your scene will consist of a simple "setup" (usually unscripted or very loosely scripted) which will lead to the sex. The setup and sex could be shot "in studio" or may be shot on location.

When the actual sex scene begins, video is often taken from quite a few angles. You do not need to worry about coming up with a bunch of positions on your own, generally the director will tell you exactly what to do (and most likely it will not be your co-star's first scene so they will guide you). Some directors will let the sex flow naturally, but some do not and they have in mind exactly what needs to be shot.

Remember, if at any time you are in pain or uncomfortable DO NOT BE AFRAID to say something and/or stop.

From my experience, most G/G and B/G scenes need about 20 to 30 mins worth of sex action (not including the setup). Sometimes less and sometimes more, it doesn't hurt to ask the director prior to shooting.

I suggest that you visit NaughtyAmerica.com, sign up for a trial membership and watch their scenes to get an idea of what most porn scenes shot currently consist of. Keep in mind, Naughty America is "hardcore" but their scenes are very mild compared to many other companies out there.
