Do you want a career in porn? Because if you and your brother take that check, you've all but guaranteed that you'll spend the rest of your lives in the porn industry. And since the Internet is forever, your "performance" will be immortalized online for your friends, family members, and potential employers to see.
Also, $25,000 might seem like a lot, but it really isn't, all things considered. Presumably you're splitting that amount, then once you factor in taxes (hopefully you're straight with Uncle Sam even if the porn producer isn't) it won't be all that much money. And then what? You've made it harder to go about your normal life. Sure, you can try to get a regular job, but there's always the chance your secret porn career will be discovered. Recently there were several stories about teachers losing their jobs once their porn past was made public. What if you're porn past with your brother (yuck) is outed and you never get a real job again? So then you're broke and forced to do more porn to make ends meet.
And while porn stars like Jenna Jameson and Sasha Grey may go on to have semi-legit careers standing upright (if you consider one indie film and half a season of Entourage a legit acting career), male porn stars pretty much never break into the mainstream. Quick--name a male porn star. You can't. Because outside of Ron Jeremy, none are famous. (And Ron Jeremy is only famous because he's been around forever and looks like Danny Devito as the Penguin.) For all the talk of the porn industry being exploitative to women (and it can be, for sure), female porn stars actually make all the money. Top stars get thousands of dollars for one scene, while the men usually get a couple hundred bucks or nothing. Female porn stars sell DVDs and make money on Web sites. Unless you're doing gay porn, you probably won't have much of a career ahead of you. Male porn stars don't really have fans. Have you seen Boogie Nights? It doesn't end well. The porn industry is full of drugs (cocaine, Viagra), mobsters, and other shady characters looking to rip you off. Few porn actors come out of it alive or healthy. Many develop substance abuse problems (like Celebrity Rehab star Mary Carey) or go into debt once they've gotten too old and can't find any legitimate source of income. If you want a sobering look into how the porn industry can ruin lives, watch the documentary Inside Deep Throat, about the tragic life of 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace.
So don't do it. As a couple of blonde, blue-eyed, twins, you could do so much more with your lives. Look at the Winklevoss Twins, those guys that claim to have founded Facebook. Sure, they lost the lawsuit, but they still got a $65 million dollar settlement and were played by a hunky actor in The Social Network. Or look at The Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna. They can use their twin powers to turn into an octopus and an ice unicycle! My point is, as a couple of young, handsome dudes, the world is your oyster. Why waste your potential on a quick buck that could potentially ruin your life?
Finally, if you go through with this, you have to live with the fact that you did a sex scene with your brother for the rest of your life. No amount of money is worth something like that.

Hmm... $12,500 dollars each for an incestuous porn gig.
Let's do some math...
If you're smart and invest that money earning 10% interest, after 40 years when you reach retirement you would have 60 some-odd thousand bucks.
That's almost 4 and a half bucks a day for sullying yourself and potentially your loved ones. Not to mention future choices you might be limiting. If you choose to spend all $12,500 right away, you could buy...not too terribly much actually.
You have to decide if you could look at your blonde, blue-eyed, muscular, well endowed self in the mirror everyday. Perhaps looking at your twin might have a new dynamic as well since you would have had an entirely new bonding experience with him. ;)
I stopped by with my morning coffee & once again was thoroughly entertained with the today’s question. I want to know how he knows his brother is "well-endowed." Better yet…, I really don’t. lol.

I know a girl that almost got kicked out of the college she went to because people found out she does porn. I REALLY don't suggest you do it.
Yeah, this was a fake question.
If you don't mind having butt sex and or getting your dick sucked by a guy,or having a threesome with your brother (the third probably being male) while its filmed for all of posterity, then go for it. I mean, you do need some book money and what not for the upcoming fall semester.
I would suggest against it. You can find legitimate catalog modeling jobs. If you're buff as you say, you can probably find jobs modeling for athletic products. It doesn't pay a ton, but you could model for art classes, which is legitimate. Trust me, $25,000 is not a lot of money in the long run. I've been working as a caregiver for the elderly for years and currently make $25,000. It isn't enough to even make ends meet. I know it sounds like a lot when you don't have a mortgate and such but like Nick said, unless you plan on being in the porn industry for life, you will really be limiting your options outside of porn if you do this.
