I love porn. Or rather I love the idea of porn. Maybe its that Im from a different culture, but Ive never been turned on by porn to the extent that most men are. Or then again maybe its the fact that I love money more that I see nothing but dollar signs when I think of porn. Or maybe then again its that Im just not wired right.
I love the idea because of the incredible marketing aspects of it. I myself was in the process of starting my own porn website before I met my girlfriend. Yes, I was going to be on camera talent, not that Im anything to look at. But I researched and studied the various aspects of porn and the industry in general.
I know that this is no shocker, but porn is not the taboo that it once was. I remember porn as the "movies" shown at that dark theater at the other end of town where the patrons went in huddled and covered to hide their identity as best they could. We that once used to hide it from our parents are now the "adults" and we have brought it out in the open because we shared it with our friends even back when we were trying to hide it. What has happened is that more and more people are coming out of the veritable porn closet and admitting to liking it. I now see couples going to the porn stores with a greater frequency than ever before. What this has done is pave the way for more and more "entertainers" because of the huge demand that we have set.
Ultimately, that demand is being met by straight to video "loops" and the new "gonzo" style and fewer and fewer full length features. Meaning that the full length features are no longer viable as a product because they cannot be produced quickly enough. And also, why waste time with them when loops and gonzos are bringing in the same amount of money per capita and in greater frequency?
If things change for me on a personal level, I plan to go ahead with my plans. I have everything mapped out, the address purchased, the website done, and the capital. Me and my partners just see too much potential not to.
Sorry, got on a soap box.
