The Galactic One asks:

1) What camera is best to shoot porn that is affordable ie: 1K or thereabouts. I know you have addressed this topic before on your site but I can’t locate it. Canon GL1? I have heard conflicting answers on this as some poeple say that it’s the lighting that is most important and the camera can be almost any average cam.

2) I am toying with the idea of putting together a website similar to Amatuer Allure. I have personally shot about 2 dozen girls with photos and video. Many of these girls are true first timers as I try to pull models and newbies on “my own” and not to use CL etc as much. I am aware that Amatuer Allure, Back Room Casting and a couple of others are based out of Phx. I am studying and learning as much as I can about how to put together a website for membership. I also know that CCbill for example also works out of Phx. Is there any people or companies that you can recommend to me in AZ that would be helpful in me getting something started?

3) I have calculated the upfront costs to be around 5K give or take for camera (a better second camera), lighting, stands, and for at least another 6 models to shoot in addition to the ones I already have. I do not pay these girls the crazy amounts like Lightspeed, Amateur Allure etc.because I don’t need to. That’s the edge that I have..I can pull girls very easily so that helps profitwise. I am under no illusion that I am going to get rich..just want some extra income, fun and sex. Do you have any clue what kind of profit these Phx based sites are turning (in rough estimate range)?

4) I know there are many webhosting sites that you can use for free but I need professional help. I know about the 2257 model release and have been collecting those from each girl. I really need help in the tech area of creating the website, setting up how to download, edit, set up pay companies. I don’t expect you to waste an hour telling me how to do all of this. But can you recommend anyone in PHX? I am tempted to contact the guys that run Amateur Allure, Lightspeed etc but I feel they would not be totally trustworthy as I would be a direct competitor. There used to be an annual convention here in PHX for adult web business etc..can’t remember the name of the convention, not sure if it is still held here.

In short, I create great content with great girls that I don’t have to pay a ton to. I want to make money of it. Help. Thanks for taking the time to read this, any response will be helpful. Any response besides “fuck off”!

Dear Galactic One:

In the past, a lot of Creepy Porno Dudes like myself would do our best to dissuade anyone asking about jumping in the biz NOT to do so. The reason was simple: there was so much cash in the biz, who needed another dirty creep sticking his filthy hands into the money pile? But that was 2002, my friend. In 2010 I do the best to dissuade anyone who asks about getting into the biz cause that money pile has dried up.

Really, it has.

Ask the owners of the affiliate programs which close daily. Then, ask the dudes like me who shoot for other people cause my own sites don’t pay me enough to support myself. Then, ask the Creepy Porno Agents in Los Angeles, who have either gone out of business (ie Lisa Ann) or are about to…or the ones who used to book 40 to 50 jobs a day and are now booking 10 to 15. After you’re finished with the agent, ask the Porno Princesses themselves. Ask the ones who’ve been in the biz a few years though. Don’t waste your time on the Newbies, who think $5,000 a month is a good wage. Ask the ones who jumped into the biz in, say, 2005, when they made $5000 on a good weekend. The ones who said they’d “never do a private, cause that’s for whores, and I’m a Porn Star!”

They now make the bulk of their money doing privates.

“Private” = “Hooking”.

I just talked to a Porno Princess who only stars in dirty movies (“from time to time”) in order to promote her name so she can charge more for PSE.

“PSE” = “Porn Star Experience”.

Which is far different that GFE.

But after reading your e-mail, I have a feeling you’re pretty dead set on joining the club, so I’ll address your message…only cause I haven’t had any blog fodder in quite sometime. Don’t think — for a second — I’m out to lend you a helping hand.

1) The Canon GL-2 is the greatest Porno Camera ever invented. I don’t give a shit what other Creepy Porno Guys say. It’s light and easy to handle and produces superb content. Far better than comparable Sony mondels. Especially when you know how to light a set. I’m no longer shooting with a GL-2. I got suckered into the HD World, and I now shoot on a Vixia HF S10. (What can I say…I’m a Canon guy). It’s HD, it’s tapeless, it’s tiny and light, it’s $700. But it ain’t no GL-2. I won’t tell you what I did to trick out my Vixia (although it certainly isn’t anything you can’t figure out in about 5 seconds), but I will tell you this: set a GL-2 to 16:9, tweek your post-production, and no one will know you’re shooting SD. You won’t have to deal with the hassles HD offers, too.

2) Nope. Not cause I’m being a dick — just cause there’s nothing more you need to know beyond what you mentioned. And yea, there’s a few Porno Creeps in Phoenix. It’s a good town to launch a Porno Career. There’s a lot of beautiful sluts in Phoenix, too, and some of those sluts are tired of being slutty for free.

3) I dunno what I like better about #3 — the Jedi Mind Tricks you’ve mastered to underpay your models, or the fact you’d think I’d spill the beans on sensitive information to a complete stranger…even if I knew how much cash guys like that made. I’ll assume those guys make a lot of money — certainly more than me. That’s all I know and all I’d tell even if I knew the answer to that question. I’d like to add that every single douche who’s ever bragged to me about ripping off models has never succeeded in this biz — and trust me, there’s been tons. Of course I’m not calling you a douche, Mr. Glactic One.

4) It would take a lot longer than one hour to cover what you asked in #4, and of course I’m not going to do that. In fact, I’ve already spent far too long here, but I will share with you The Phoenix Forum, which is a dandy way to Porno Network, as the Porno Webmasterboard Go Fuck Yourself…but one warning: the dudes who frequent that place will tell you to fuck off, and they’ll do it a lot.

And my final words to you — have a blast working your ass off to create great content for all the file sharing sites! They’re gonna love you!

Oh, and enjoy Mr. POV banging Gracie Glam …he might not be Amateur Allure or Lightspeed, but you gotta hand it to him! He figured it all out.

Now, if he could only make a few bucks.

Your pal — Billy

Hey Billy! Hope you’re well! Did you see this story from the Utah Daily News? I just wanted to let you know where you’re true fan base is!

MWAH!
———————————————–

Dear Jayma:

Why is this not surprising?

The same thing that makes people wanna buy porn is, ironically, the same thing that turns girls into porn stars, for the most part: just keep telling young people, over and over, how bad human sexuality is, and then refuse to talk about it after that…and wah lah!

Porn flourishes!

Oh wait — don’t forget to add a strong chaser of Christianity into that cocktail, too.

It’s really so simple.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 states, as ranked by the Smarty-Pants School Everyone Knows, as well as their criterion: “The Harvard study used credit card subscription data from a top Internet porn company. It ranked states on a per-capita basis, comparing paid subscriptions with the number of high-speed Internet connections.”

Wonder what site they utilized?

And here’s the Top 10 Porn States:

1. Utah
2. Alaska
3. Mississippi
4. Hawaii
5. Oklahoma
6. Arkansas
7. North Dakota
8. Louisiana
9. Florida
10. West Virginia

Out of those ten states, either there’s absolutely nothing else to do but watch porn — or they’re in the Bible Belt.

‘Nuff said.

Oh…If you’re thinking there’s LOTS to do in Hawaii, try living there longer than 7 days.

Pamela Atkinson chairs the Utah Coalition Against Pornography. “I think this study actually confirms what many of us has known for a number of years, that the addiction use of pornography is growing more and more each year,” she said.

Um, no it doesn’t. There’s absolutely no data presented in this study on porn consumption prior to the year they conducted their study. What a dumb thing to say. I mean if this study presented a graph to go along with data showing a rise in porn consumption over a range of time, well then yea…I could maybe see her point.

Well…no.

I can’t see her point.

Cause porn isn’t addicting.

Porn is nothing more than

1) a great time

or

2) avoidance behavior

But I’ve blogged that to death already.

Atkinson believes Utah’s more repressive culture pushes some people to the Internet. “It’s because we don’t have the adult movie stores as much as they do in other states. And people have come to realize that you can access this material quite easily,” she said.

Um, I doubt it. Tell me, Ms. Atkinson, just how many adult book stores are there in Utah…and how do they stack up against, say, the Bible Belt states? You won’t be able to answer that, cause you really don’t know. I’d like to add the internet has been putting the brick-and-mortar porn businesses out of business since it got popular. And ain’t that a grand thing? Cause — let’s face it — porno stores are nothing more than seedy shit holes where creeps cruise for porn, or fags cruise for sex, or both.

Not that there’s anything wrong with creeps cruising for sex…but let’s leave that mess for the privacy of their own homes.

And not that there’s anything wrong with fags cruising for sex…but let’s leave that mess for the public parks.

And airport bathrooms.

And Interstate Rest Stops.

No Way Am I Gay!

But the very best thing about this article isn’t dopey Pamela Atkinson, or Jill Manning’s desperate attempts to explain away Utah’s top ranking; it’s the comments left by the fine people of the great state of Utah.

Trust me, there’s LOTS of them…but here’s some of the better ones:

we have a younger demographic which tend to be more addicted to porn.

Avoidance behavior, damnit. Quit blaming porn, you stupid motherfuckers! OK, I’m gonna make this distinction — if you’re jerking to dirty movies for, say, under 30 minutes a day, it’s fun. Anything more than that and you’re avoiding something: work, your wife, your boyfriend, Life in General…or all the above.

I believe one of those ZIP codes [from the sample] was for the U of U, not for BYU.

Those U o fU sleaze balls! The students at BYU would NEVER do such a filthy thing as to jerk to online porn.

The story states: “Idaho and Montana had the lowest subscription rates.” That’s because Idaho and Montana residents are sexually assaulting sheep and mountain goats instead of surfing the net for porn!!!

AWESOME-O.

The non-LDS can’t get any in this state so they have to turn to porn.

For those of you who don’t know, LDS = Latter Day Saints = Mormons. And — DUH! — non-LDS are the only ones jacking to porn…cause the LDS get laid all the time. Between all the wives and nieces and cousins, everyone in the Church is banging!

Boys can’t have sex so they turn to porn to ‘know how to do it’ after they get married. Also they are curious.

Oh yea…it’s so hard to figure out sex. Once they can have sex, that is.

Here’s how tough it is:

1) get boner.

2) stick it in a hole.

Wonder what kind of “curious” are this post was referring to? Perhaps someone’s sitting on the Bi Fence?

It kind of reverts back to the church because the girls won’t do “it” and the boys want to know how to do “it”!

“Kind of reverts back to the Church”. Uh huh. Mormon girls do it, by the way…just not in their V-Jay. I learned this when I dated a Mormon girl in high school. Her hand, as well as two out of three of her holes, were open 24/7.

like Brigham Young said, “We have the best of the best and the worst of the worst.

Huh?

Porn has been around for hundreds of years and it doesn’t hurt a sole.

Maybe Brigham Young was referring to the spellers of Utah.

A man who had 30+ wifes probably isn’t the best person to quote a this time.

Yes, indeed. Brigham was referring to spelling.

late husband loved Playboy, as long as he was looking at porn he didn’t get the real thing.

Didn’t I mention avoidance behavior somewhere in this blog?

the fact that Utah has fat women. Come on, ladies, quit stuffing your faces and start fix yourself up a bit!

I couldn’t end this blog on a better note.

Even if I tried.

Oh, the invention that is mySpace!

The greatest social networking device ever invented. Perhaps it even transcends social networking! Maybe it’s almost as good as fire, the wheel, the printing press, and porno…right?

From its Wikipedia article: “MySpace is a popular social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos for teenagers and adults internationally. Its headquarters are in Beverly Hills, California, USA, where it shares an office building with its immediate owner, Fox Interactive Media; which is owned by News Corporation, which has its headquarters in New York City. Since June 2006, MySpace has been the most popular social networking site in the United States.”

Wikipedia, please hire an editor!

Anyways, one of the very best things about mySpace is it allows fans immediate contact with their obsessions; people who, in the past, didn’t have immediate access. Oh sure, you could write them a letter, toss a stamp on it, and hope for the best.

From mainstream actors and musicians to wanna-be’s (and everything else in between) mySpace has it all! And it’s created a whole new way for creeps to contact their very favorite porn whores…as well as their very favorite directors.

But you know this already, right?

insterburg myspaces me:

Just spent an hour trying to find and email address so I could reply to some of the stuff you posted on your blog.

I know you must get sick of folks telling you they could do better – but like most pornographers – I think you miss the point of porn.

You’re right about it being ‘jack of stuff’ for sure, but maybe its because you’re in the porn business and pretty jaded you forget what regular guys want to jack off to.

Porn is visual prostitution.

And the fantasy the guys want is the ‘the Virgin whore’ Innocence degraded.

So when you say you were pissed with Jenni Lee trying to avoid a facial – that’s what everyone wants to see. Her emotions – not the facial, which is the same as 10’s of thousands of others.

And why do American pornographers always have the girls naked – that’s crazy, as soon at they take their clothes out they become common whores.

A few porns shoots and they get their emotions under control and you get the plastic, wooden, whore smile. You only get 2 or 3 chances to capture the transition from nice girl to whore – and the pornography business seems to miss it every time, doesn’t even see it as a marketable commodity (as with Jenni Lee)

The girls are just meat in the sandwich to you folks, when to the regular guys they are a vehicle for working out thier fantasies.

I want to know she is reluctant, has to be persuaded. . . .

I don’t want to shove my cock into a face that has obviously done a 1,000 BJ’s, I want someone that is clumsy and awkard and embarrased.

And even if I want the girl to have done a 1,000’s BJ, I want her to look like a expensive whore – not a cheap one I can pick up on a street corner (European Porn has grasped this one)

I suppose its all driven by commercial pressures, but it would really good if you guys concentrated on the emotions involved and not the physical mechanics.

Ok – rant finished.

Oh, if it was that easy, for insterburg’s rants had only just begun:

Message #2, received immediately after the first:

You’re obviously a pretty bright guy. . . .so I’ll tell you something that might help you figure out what is going on inside your head (and something surely is from your posts)

30 years ago, when I was 19, I worked for six months as an Autopsy room technician (needless to say I needed the money) I’d worked as Psychiatric Nurse, was familiar with lots of nasty stuff, corpses, guys eating their own shit, so I was under the illusion that I could handle it.

Well the reality is no more like Quincy that Pretty Woman is like street prostitution.

The first few times I did an autopsy I wept all the way through – with the guys laughing at me (to help me dissassociate from it) with jokes like ‘you’re not putting your heart into it – and throwing one across the table at me.

It’s an extreme experience in both the physical and emotional sense. Ever sliced up a 17 year old girl (and yes when you do react to the nude naked body, and its not somewhere you want go) then gone through her to her parents and explained hospital proceedures and how to register a death.

Every part of you is screaming no, but your cool and pretty much in control of yourself, much like a porn actress or director.

Eventually you get as detached from death and horror as folks in the porn industry do from sex. It took me a good 10 years to recover. I remember once watching a 4 year old kid (I had children about the same age) get run down by a Railway Locomotive, bits and splatter everywhere, and everyone around pukeing, crying, screaming and me thinking ‘whats the big deal here’

It was only during that incident that I realised how damaged I had been. At the time I had thought I was pretty much on top of things, its only when you move away that you realise how ghastly what you are doing is.

And then, right after his #2, I got message #3:

And now I’m beginning to get really boring (I expect the six pack has something to do with it). .. and the Aberlour Single Malt.

Once you’ve managed the emotional control thing – you become a totally different person. It’s similar to a combat experience (I was in the National Guard (TA) during the Falklands).

The Scottish National Memorial sums it up.

“If it be life that waits, I shall live forever unconquered. If death, I shall die at last, strong in my pride and free.”

I’m the kind of guy that once he decided to beat you to death – would do it. I’ve dealt with some seriously dangerous people in my life. I’ve never had much problem communicating my attitude and avoided violence because of that.

I’m not an aggressive person – it revolts me – I am potentially lethal.

Again, all the posturing, the emotions in an aggressive stand off have never done much for me. Why bother? The logical mind comes down to ‘Are you physical threat or are you not’ ‘Am I going to get stressed over you or am I not’

This is garbage. . . . too much drink. . .

Here comes #4 — again, right after #3!

Ok so I am getting really boring now. . . .

In a sense, your problem is that you are like the porn actors you employ both male and female, you’ve managed to switch off from what you are doing.

As a way of coping you’ve reduced it to a mechanical activity.

The turn on for folks outside the porn industry are the emotions – not the sex. I mean, where is the turn on in a cock going into a vagina??

It’s the girls facial expressions that are the turn on.

If you want to be a better pornographer, you need to concentrate more on the emotional distress of your employees. . . . .

The ultimate turn on is of course getting the girl to orgasm under someone that revolts her. . . .

It’s a turn on because she can’t help herself, its the ultimate in femininity.

It’s one of the sad things about modern porn – you never see the red V across a girls chest. . .
——————————————————————————————–

Wow!

That’s some social networking!

I have all sorts of things to say about this, but I think a Porn Whore pal o’ mine summed it up best:

“I am positive that this guy is a potential serial killer. I’m not even remotely joking. This guy is damaged. He wants to see the emotional pain of an 18 year old that doesn’t really want to be there in the first place? Sick FUCK! And I can say that, because I have tiptoed close to that kind of sickness in my own mind and got the fuck out of there when I had the chance. This guy committed to it, bought a condo, and set up shop on Creepy Bay.

I’ll bet this guy hates women, had an overbearing single mother, was never able to get the girl that he wanted….fuck, okay, this is the guy that keeps a woman in a pit in his basement, lowering things to her in a basket: It puts the lotion on it’s skin, or else it gets the hose again!
