My Experience Working in The Adult Film Industry

- I thought this would be an interesting video to make. Many things have happened throughout my time in The Adult Film Industry and I wanted to share some of those experiences to shed some light on this kind of work. It took a lot of courage to finally start talking about this side of my life but its time to reflect on my experience and some lessons that I have learned.

I first seen you on BSB and then came across you on UA-cam. I have been following you on UA-cam for a while now. I find you interesting and well spoken and very well educated. Also your honesty comes across that is very rare on UA-cam. Good luck with your future.
Mildly disappointed to hear you're out of the adult film industry because I enjoyed your work so much. And the scenes you did on College Dudes where you topped, as well as the few you did at Helix... **whoo**
But I understand that it's not a career field everyone wants to do forever, and it's good that you're moving on to pursue your dreams. You're an amazing person and I hope you go far in whatever you do.
I’m with you, Robert. I just “discovered Richie and the UA-cam channel and now that seems to be a closed loop. But, he’s awesome and aware that we can enjoy his “acting” for quite some time.
Very good in depth video. I do like how genuine and honest you are about you and what you do. You are someone I could really sit down and talk with. Good job.
I commented on a site a year ago about a porn dude named Seth who works for helix That he was a really good actor and that all porn is acting. People reacted very negatively when I said that. But, at least you mention that it is true. It’s hard work and the viewers have no clue what it takes to do a scene with a stranger with people behind lights watching every little aspect of you including the parts of you you don’t want really want to share. Thanks you for sharing.
excellent observation. As one watches the lads perform, act, one can see occasionally, in their eyes, and sometimes facial expression missed in the editing, that they are not enjoying it. Their bodies refusing to work the way the production want.... So for some its survival, money, their souls destroyed.
Some, its fun, experience, finding themselves, their current career/job - sometimes along site a mainstream job or a quick $500 and for some a lot more (pending experience/position in industry/agreed activity) -
it's acting, everytime. My other comment refers to the industry and some of the gross people in charge.
Thanks for sharing Richie. I love the new format. Looking forward to part 2 of the series.
Love to hear of your experiences, hear your voice, you sound so real, so honest that's what I like about your videos
Richie, you should film commentaries about all your past scenes giving the bts details on how each scene went for you.
I found your video informative and interesting. As I have noted in the past, it is my prayer that you will stay out of that industry for good👍
"Acting is the lying truth": Richard Burton. Glad you gained the experience and confidence that you needed from this chapter in your life.
Hi Richie This was a great video I look forward to a continuation of this video found it very interesting thanks for being so open about this.
Thanks so much for making this video. You were so articulate & well thought-out. Your candor is truly appreciated. I'm an average person who watches industry videos. I've always wondered what it must be like to be involved in the making of them. I'll never experience it (as I'm fugly), so thanks for sharing your behind-the-scenes experiences! In terms of YT, I think you've really found a lane to travel down here. Best of luck!
Hey Richie....... Another great video !!!
And as always glad you are sharing this part of your life with us. Few years back, and that first interview on BSB, was the FIRST time I saw you. You made a great impression on me then, and as you do now. AND you had your clothes on. So yeah, it wasn't a sexual thing at all. Just you being you.
The review I gave at that time said you'd do well, and go far with them given the chance. And that my young friend you did!!!!!!!!!!!!
You turned into for sure one of the most popular models they had.
As you said here...... you got what you wanted from doing this. And yes, for sure....... You made them a LOT of money at the same time.
You made a lot of valid points. Like having to film with guys you wasn't so much into. Yeah, couldn't do that myself.
Or guys and their scent. Never really thought about that one. Body odor yes, but not the scent. So that's interesting.
I could keep going but it already looks like I'm writing a novel here. So I'll save some for next time. :)
Take care Richie. And have a great upcoming weekend.............
You are so good in relating your experience I have seen some of your videos and I can see they were nerve racking and hard work!!
I'm glad you shared all of this, I wondered if you were ever gonna do films again. Sounds like you had a good time and got what you wanted out of it and then said that's it. Loving your new format, and you look so handsome today 😍❤
Thank you!
@@RichieWest Atleast you are honest about it.
Call it the Money Shot Richie. YES to 27 or less on the vlogs. Great insights.
Hi Richie!
Since you said you’ll answer any questions about your time in the industry, can you tell us how much money you would make per scene? And maybe share what things pay as far as what sexual acts you perform?
Also what scene or film made you the most money? And how much?
Those are the questions you can ask only if you are the guy's husband.
Your scene with Landon was worth a membership!
Very interesting overview on the industry from an intelligent and articulate source with inside knowledge. Thanks for the video.
This video is interesting. I'm a hetero who recently lost my wife of forty-five years. I benefit from writing as a self prescribed therapy tool. I truly believe it to be helpful. It is different from videos because you can walk away from it and come back when you're ready. The content of this video says you have a most interesting book within. Self love and self confidence are self help. Best wishes for you and your future young man.🙂
Hey Rich! I'm so happy for you that you're moving on to bigger and better things. I had no idea the industry was such an overwhelming and personal experience for you. I respect your degree of commitment and sense of professionalism so much more now that I got to hear your unadulterated opinion on the pros and cons of the job. I wish you much love and continued success in your endeavors! Jos Alvarez sends his best regards ^_~
Wow that’s a pretty in-depth comment to a male porn “star” you dont know, lol Anyways I’ll mind my business😁
I love his vidz very uplifting and so calm keep up with the Ausome job as always
You always make the company lots of money for any company in any industry.
Love your vids with Carnal Media and the older adult performers :)
It was a lot of fun for me an i did enjoy all the attention i received. Some of us will never have the opportunity to do so
You did not comment on the after scenes that I like. So awesome. Great job. I was with you before 1.000. Not a kink just like you and wish you the best. Please tell or hyperscan fans to newest projects.
What a red stud!!!!!
"Genuine" is the operative word. Honestly, it gives more power to what you said. Also, the more direct, honest, unguarded you are in your stories, the hotter you look! It would take a therapist to explain that, but yes. That fits your comments about watching amateur corn. I've noticed that. I hate technically bad videos. But as for performers, I'll avoid experienced pros in favor of a kid who makes vids in his living room. Artifice is getting old. Yeah it's a turnoff when performers aren't into one another. It shows. That accounts for the rise of Only Fans and decline of the studios.
"I also sold paintings." What's the connection? You're the third performer I've heard say they paint. Nick Floyd was in art school before his Adult career. Can you explain this trend?
I so much relate to you and the things you experienced dating and everything , you are a wonderful soul!
I’ve always wanted to get into the adult film industry. Because I’d love to work as a bttm but how do I get started
I’m curious about two things. One, how do you protect yourself and two, how do you separate your work life from your personal dating life?
Hi, Richie;
Thanks for your open, honest conversation about your work in the adult film industry. 5 years is definitely a long career but you were terrific and successful.
Having watched several of your videos, you were very good at your trade, especially your oral skills. Spectacular performance and satisfying .
If you could do it over, would you?
Studios should pair guys who are into each other more often. The scenes will be better and the intensity of the money shots never lie.
Just great. So level headed for someone so young. If you ever need a place to crash in the UK, hit me up. (No strings) you have a great aura x
Thanks young man x I’ll even let you slide into my DMs if you feel so inclined. Insta cstaunton69 😂
Your comment about smells/odors is very true. I have dated some guys that had a horrible but sadly for them, a very natural body odor. But there are other men like my husband that set me on fire with his natural body odor. And yes, he takes showers lol so don't misunderstand me, because I'm not talking about stinky smelly guys that never shower, I'm talking about a natural odor that everyone has. Some are smelly and some are very sexy. I guess it all boils down to the individual and what turns them on.
I’ve really enjoyed this because I’ve also always wondered about the guys in these films. I’ve enjoyed every scene of yours on bsb and will check you out on college dudes. I don’t have the other two sites you mention. You’ve enlightened me.
Great story very sincere to your home town boys you had the balls to go out and pay your bills thanks
great video about the adult industry how was your time in Helix Studios? i heard good an bad things about the studio who was your favorite partner you work with?
Richie, I just watched one of you videos and I must say that you're a natural in front of the camera. You really get into the action and are equipped to engage with others. I'm now in love with you and your body. Just stay true to yourself.
Wish I could watch some
Sounds like a lot of hard work thank you for telling us
great video love the honesty
Love that u can share this, I am sure it will help alot of ppl. Sending love from a big fan.
Again six months have passed seemingly without any reaction from others. You alone have had the courage to come to You Tube to share your honest views of what it had meant to you, whereas others just disappear and we never know what became of them. I've noticed that after a time things become so lacking in any genuine feeling. Just acting out what has been expected of them without any feeling which is such a bust. ofcourse there could be other forums I never see or even know about but you are to be commended.
Incredibly important video!
Hey Rich, thank you for sharing your experience. There is a lot of people saying about harassment in the industry - can you share your experience regarding that? Thanks
23:47... we can all guess who you mean, a very beautiful man. Lets just say he loves the ranch and country life. Clearly a very wonderful man to be open with you, sleep with you (in the platonic way) and be there for you when you so young. You have already stated you "fall for your hook-ups" way too quickly - and was happy to allow you to have a connection - that cowboy clearly is a great father and kudos to his wife. Hope he see's this vid and knows what he meant to you at that time.
Who do you guess?
So interesting! Thanks for sharing.
I found this quite interesting, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Love you little brother. Happiness, health and prosperity. Nick from the Republic of Mauritius.
I’m sorry you’ve met people that treated you like crap on grinder. I know it’s not the greatest place to meet someone, but I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to return a coat to someone who was an asshole.
Question: For straight guys who bottomed, wouldn’t they have had to be taught how to prep to do that by the producers?
I wouldn’t expect a straight guy to know how to do that, and probably even need help the first times(s).
I’m definitely in the minority, in that I like the acting in porn, amateur is ‘ok’ (Reno Gold seems like a really great guy, have you thought of doing a shoot with him? JoshBiGosh (OtterSquatter) is an awesome guy too.)
Lastly, I don’t think it would be bad to email the two guys you connected with. Even if they are straight, it sounds like it meant something to them too.

Interesting! Can you 'choose' filming partner the more experienced you get?
I’d be curious to hear your experience with Helix in particular. This video focused, as the start, on BSB
It’s coming!
I don't know what it is but you keep giving different answers , one time you say you don't work in the industry anymore , and the other time you say maybe you will go back . It seems more like your choice in the industry is just the fact for the money . because if you get enough for it you go back in it
Aiden Asher Richie West WAS AN AMAZING FILM
Good video Richie.Thanks for sharing.Being you said any question and this is not meant to be "funny".Doing these films was "protection" used?If so how/or did they hide it on film.?Okay see you in the next podcast.Have a great day.Willard
What was it like working with doctor Wolf??
Have you worked with or seen any people of color in those studios? If so, can you share second-hand what you've heard their experiences were, and what kind of people they take/are looking for? This is hard work, no doubt, but often the biggest challenge for cis white men is being in their head while this is hardly accessible to people of color since we can hardly get our foot in the door to "mainstream" porn unless we're white passing.
I wanted to ask for advice on how to get into the adult film industry
I'm so disappointed (though not surprised) to learn how m many of these guys don't dig each other.... As an indie porn producer (yes, there's such a thing) I only do a be scene if the guys really like each other. To me, it's all about the chemistry.
No one can own anyone else😢!
Richie you are a nice guy I wish we could be friends iv talked with you a few times I love your personality
was landon wells your 1st video partner
Why did you choose Richie West, or was it chosen for you?
I chose Richie West as my stage name.
U r so cuddable in the way you tell ur stories :)
You missed out on Tyler White. He's the hottest BSB of all time IMO.
What are off limits for you.
How did your parents react to finding out?
Is there adult senes on only fans sites
I enjoy your videos but sometimes it takes too long to get the story out.
Did you ever get a sexually transmitted disease (STD) while working in the adult film industry?
I loved ur video with ari nucci
Hey Richie how well did you get on with Axel Kane? hot video btw :) xx
Richie, how many films did you actually make?
A lot! I will count them up for the next video.
Very good.!!!
Interesting situations here
great guy....
Abomonation or inabottomashun?
I find this very funny...... you said you never judge people..... i remember trying to chat with you on grindr and you asked me for a face pic..... i sent you one and your reply was basically "EWW GROSS", But richie i dont care because honestly everyone judges people everyday without actually realizing they do it.
am at several minds on richie,theres a desperation,and by times a bit manic
Hi Frank, haven’t been on Grindr in years. Unfortunately, I think you may have been communicating with one of the many accounts that like to use my pictures instead of their own. I want you to know that I would never be rude to someone because of a face picture they sent to me.
@@RichieWest nah, it was you......
@@RoadTrippingFrank me thinks a bit of gaslighting here RT Frank,what say you?
wow your awesome
😊😃👍👍🌈🌈💯💎🦋💙💚💛💜🧡💛
Are many of the guys really str8?
Yes!
i always dreamed of Bel-Ami guys all being gay
@@RichieWest How in Hades can they be straight when they are getting, um, straight with a NAKED gay guy?😰
I love you :)
That’s “lust” not “lost”. Lol
I just saw UR HOT, HOT SCENE WITH Ari Nucci!! HE'S SUCH A STUD!! Boy, I'M SO JEALOUS OF U!! UR HOLE TOOK A POUNDING!! U 2 LOOK GREAT TOGETHER!! AS ALWAYS, UR NO 1 FAN, Tom--NYC
You were struggling with mental-health issues when you joined the 'adult-film industry'?😲
I'd have tried to talk you out of that.😇
Seriously.😕 No strings attached.🙋
Gross.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Straight men don't have sex with other men..just saying.
Your adult film work is amazing
I Want to see some
