How to Perform like a Porn Star

There's not much hotter than really good porn. But watching it as a non-porn star can make even the most self-assured of us wonder what we're doing wrong -- and how we can be better in bed.

Here are some tips for how to perform like a porn star.

Porn stars have confidence. They know they're sexy and they're not afraid to flaunt it. So strap on your confidence and have at it. And if you can't slip into "I'm hot and I know it" mode easily, fake it 'til you make it.

Porn stars have style. They're not trying to get all hot and bothered while wearing cat-puke-stained pants and an old T-shirt. Slip outta that and get on some lingerie and sexy undies before trying to get your groove thang on. If you don't own any, go and pick some up. Doesn't have to be expensive, either -- you can pick some up at Target on the cheap.

Porn stars take care of themselves. No, I'm not implying you need to hire a stylist, a waxer, a makeup artist, and someone to do your hair. Just make sure you've gotten body hair under control, put on some mascara and lip gloss, throw your hair into a sexy little bun, and have at it.

Porn stars know the ways they look best. Sure, they might have a pot belly or a little junk in their trunk, but they also know the angles to strike to minimize these things. Next time you're watching porn and see someone who is built like you, check out the ways she holds her body, then copy her.

Porn stars know it's all about lighting. In the harsh glare, even the sexiest of the sexy look, well, unfortunate. So work the lighting in your bedroom. Get a red light (which is supposed to bring out your inner sex goddess), or dim things down -- then work it.
