Porn acting academy
[edit]In 2014 Pegas Productions was having problems finding male talent. In mid 2014 Pegas Productions opened applications on their website.[8] Over 1,200 applied 50 were decided on and 10 were invited to attend the classes. The class entailed two phases, in phase one invitees were graded on physical and character characteristics then were subject to health, psychological and social impact of being an adult actor. Six men moved onto phase two which included sexual auditions with female talent.[9] At the end of the three day academy three men were hired. Pegas Productions have replicated this process three times in the years since.[10][11]
