you lucky masturbators I am 47 , so in the plus decades that I have been involved in the adult industry (as a worker, as a watcher) there have been quite a few changes. One might call them advances. In case you weren’t aware, the porn and videogaming industry pretty much dictate on what format you enjoy your movies, and which electronic advances are deemed more important continue advancing. Too many people have been spending their hard-earned on the stuff for too long for this not to be the case. The needs and desires of the customer are, understandably, being catered to in order to keep those dollars flowing in. Hopefully that’ll be my only significant deviation from the main point. When I turned legal age to watch adult movies, it felt like there were only about dozen female porn stars, and if you really had a “thing” for one of them there wasn’t much you could do except maybe try find out if there was a fan club you could join. Personal information was sparse and contact information nearly impossible obtain. That is definitely not the case nowadays. If you have a favorite performer, chances are you can not only find out their personal email address, you can contact them and arrange any number of things from a simple meeting a custom video, or even a starring role in your very own production. The fact is, if you aren’t that available to your fans / customers you’re likely missing out on revenue, and with the porn industry so incredibly FULL of performers vying for a tiny piece of the pie, competition for every penny can be fierce. Big names are no longer big anymore because our number of choices has increased exponentially. With every year that passes there are more people dipping their toe into an industry that is already overflowing. And yet… There appears to be, on at least a few levels, room for more competition. Much like the music industry, if people are given a chance to truly break down, in detail, what they want they can probably not only have it, but have several versions to choose from. I know growing up I hated only being able to find and listen to a limited number of rock or metal bands, mostly because radio stations wouldn’t their music and my local stores wouldn’t stock their tapes, records and CDs. Today, if I like a sub-sub-genre of music; let’s say Dubstep Rockabilly, chances are I can find at least half a dozen bands that fit into that category. It’s the same with porn; if I want to see a woman give a blowjob while sitting in a swimming pool full of whipped cream I can that shit and probably find four performers and production companies that specialize in it, and have probably given it some cool name make it even easier search for. The sheer diversity is astonishing, and along with it comes an equally incredible level of availability. Today, I can not only have a strange fetish yet be assured of plenty of access to videos, I can IM my favorite porn star and ask him or her to make a customized version just for me. The bonus? Ten ago, that would have been a pricey prospect, but widespread availability has culled that a bit as well. It used be a person could charge considerably more for custom work, or even just filming anal action, but now it just comes with the job, and if you are unwilling to do it you probably don’t work for most companies. Not to say there aren’t a ton of performers that don’t do it, just that it’s no longer a bargaining chip for more . And with the pure glut of amateur, at-home talent out there still making a decent living, you realize more and more that for some fans and watchers it isn’t about the act, it is about the performer. People will see their favorite do just about anything, and why that particular person becomes their favorite can hinge on any number of things from hair color, ethnicity, body style, ability, attitude, their smile - the reasons are as myriad as the customers themselves. Yes, some are better at sucking a cock or taking it in the ass than others, but in the end it’s rarely that skill alone that hooks people and makes them loyal fans. And loyal fans are what really bring in the . Sales of content are one thing, but it’s really the generosity and gratitude of the fans that make it all possible. And those adoring fans are very lucky because their involvement rivals anything I have ever seen. Even a few dollars can get you the attention you crave from the performers you admire and crush on. If that had been the case twenty ago, when I had a HUGE thing for porn star Belladonna, I can only imagine the possibilities I would have entertained and explored. Perhaps I would have only exchanged messages, but maybe I would have commissioned a custom, or (gasp!) contacted her with an offer to film together. I’ve never been a star fucker, but I would have bragged about any involvement with her if anything had happened. There’s just something about her that has always made me react in a visceral manner. If you like to watch porn and have a favorite performer, take a chance and drop them a note. Some are clumsy and rude and will try to get you to for the privilege, a video, something! and that’s a shame, but I guarantee you there are plenty of people out there like myself who wouldn’t mind at all exchanging a few polite messages with a fan. Not everything has be about business, sex, perversion, kink, - sometimes it’s nice just be a real person and have a real conversation. Give it a shot, you might be surprised at what happens. |
