I mean, I love sex, I love money, and I'm not shy. I'm certainly not concerned about friends finding out about it, because they'd never look there. As for travel and such, it's all covered, with a potential gain of $600 - $3000 per shoot. So we're talking good money.

But I'm not sure about how this might affect my future. Do gay porn artists go on to do other things? Can they? How can this realistically affect me?

I'm just not sure if I should or shouldn't. There are a lot of good pros, but the cons are vague in severity, making this decision a difficult one to make.

Also, there's a guy who I'm interested in that I'm not sure how it would work, although I get the idea he might not be completely opposed...

Well, is it going to be safe? STD-free?
If you can guarantee that, I can't really see any reason against it.
Gay porn artists may not go anywhere, but you can use the money to further your education so that you CAN find a good job elsewhere, if you so wished.

A full STD test is required, and they are regularily done. Although you'd still need to wear protection to be ultra safe.

That's what I was thinking... And to be fair, I'd want to work as my own boss, so I'm not sure if there'd be a huge issue there.

I guess my biggest reservation would be this guy.

I might wait it out though and see what happens with this guy.

Hmm thats a toughy Jordan. I personally wouldn't jeopardize my future. (Would this affect getting a job in the future? etc) But, if its something you'd like to do, then go for it.  

I might wait it out though and see what happens with this guy.

I plan on being my own boss, so realistically, that's not a huge concern, all things considered.

That's my concern. Should I risk it and wait, or hope he's going to be okay with it, or abandon it altogether? I'm not sure.

Well, is he a buddy that you could discuss it with? It might be worth a shot, then.

Oh, and I just noticed your siggy. The Stolen Child, by Yeats, right?

I'm hoping for something with meaning with this guy...

That it is.

If you are worried about something things, publicity wise, you could always use a fake name.  

You could ask the guy in question about it, and it doesn't hurt to call the scout back and ask more questions.

What exactly are you wanting do?  Cast?  Star?  Direct?  Combination?

Your biggest worry seems to be relationship aspect of it. What exactly are you wanting to do? Cast? Direct? Star?

---

The offer was as an actor.

Well, you could definately see why he would have a problem with it.  I wouldn't make any decisions until you really talk to him.  You said you want something meaningful.  Try this.  Put yourself in his position.  Would you have a problem with it?
