  • What happened to Bangbros? 11/20/2014 4:20:52 PM
    I can't answer definitively but in my experience "creativity" comes with a price. I was a working camera operator for quite a while. I know most people think shooting porn take no more than a guy with a camera but there is more to it than that. Some of us were pretty good at shooting and even took pride in our work and creativity. As there is less and less money to be made the producers pay less and less. That often means people like me move on and those will less skills and less pride in their work take over - more often than not the director or producer picks up a camera. Some studios are still making product and new ones are always jumping in hoping they have the formula that will generate a profit.

I'm one of those folks who thinks you're overacting. I first had sex at 13. The girl was 14. Did I rape her? Did she rape me? I really don't know. But I suspect what we did was more natural and normal that rape. Too early? Probably. But rape?

    Draxxx wrote: You hear more about the ones who have drug problems because it makes for a more interesting story as compared to the ones who just become homemakers/housewives. So true. No prodCo is going to make a movie about the ex-porn actress who leaves the business, marries, has a couple of kids and works a regular job. And that's what happens to a lot of them. So many make movies for a few years and then leave the biz to lead an average, happy, productive life. Not something movies are made about. Or anything the news is interested in.

    pat362 wrote: No matter that both parties were okay with it. That is still a fucked up scene that should never have been made. There are some things that should not be filmed regardless of what the involve parties think. Am I being too critical when I say that is probably the closest porn can get to shooting a genuine rape scene? Yes, you are being too critical. what you are saying is what all anti-porn activists say about standard porn; "This should not be made. No matter what consenting adults want to do we know better." You are free to not watch. You are also free to say no one else should watch. And you are free to say that some things should not be filmed even by adults who want to film them. I think it's an over-reaction. I...

    aniroy wrote: how is it ????who enjoys the work he/she does???all of us want a better house or a better life....we do jobs that pay for them... ACTUALLY,half of America hates their jobs.... Then that means that half of America like their jobs. I know bus drivers who love their job, i know a taxi driver in Las Vegas who loves his job - he's my brother. College degree, 8 years in law which he hated and now loves being a cab driver. And I love my job. A full half of Americans love their jobs - seems reasonable to suggest that half of porn performers love their. In my experience it's much higher than half.

  • Advice on how to start producing porn? 10/18/2012 2:29:17 PM
    Electric_Logan wrote: I didn't say I want to do this as a career. I want to produce a few porn films for the experience and just to make a little cash... then move on. I have one life and I intend to experience a lot of different things in it lol. First you need to research who is buying product. When you get a quote on how much a distributor will pay then you can set a budget for your films. Then you raise the money and approach an agency to hire talent. If you choose to hire "young aspiring anal whores" who don't have an agent, then you approach them with the job offer. You can, of course, produce a few scenes or an entire film before you learn about distribution. After your film is shot you then approach distributors and offer...

I like the older woman/younger man too but I find that the guys don't look young enough in most cases. I think back fondly on the time I was 18 and was seduced by a 40 year old woman. Like matchmaker, my fav is younger/older women together.

Are they going to start renting/buying porn DVDs. check the CFR date of production, check for non-condoms and turn them in to Cal OSHA? An interesting possibility. I wonder what this ordinance says about "after the fact". I wonder if there are fines attached to the finished product in non-compliance can be proven. I wonder if they can prove that a movie was shot within the LA city limits from looking at the inside of a house or studio. I wonder if these two groups have the resources to follow through.. Anyone know if a producer can be fined after the fact?

"political grandstanding" The city of LA does not have the resources to comb the streets looking into homes they think might be used to shoot porn without a permit. The LA city council can now say they are protecting the working conditions of employees and that makes them feel good. They will DO nothing.

Some of us believe this is a government overreaching its responsibility to its citizens. Some of us believe the choice of adults to choose is important and the government should not attempt to make that choice by force of law. You're right; people will still buy condom porn. But some people just don't like it so they express their dislike on a message board like this one. I'm buggin out about this because I am angry that the government is getting in to this issue at all.

    Peoples Temple wrote: Requiring condoms in the workplace has no merit and is baseless. I agree. They way this thing got passed is because the AHF managed to get the LACC to believe having unprotected sex is a workplace hazard. I didn't suggest I agree with it - I do not. "sex" is not in and of itself a hazard. Unprotected sex can be. This was the reasoning behind this stupid, unenforceable city ordinance. They believe unprotected sex can be a recognized hazard in the workplace so they can pass this ordinance. I believe that the reason it passed so easily is because the employers did not fight it. I hope they will now. Maybe if it is dealt with on a case by case, shoot by shoot, basis this can be challenged.

    Peoples Temple wrote: The States can pass any ludicrous law they want. If it conflicts with Federal/Constitutional rights it goes nowhere. How can you legislate what people must use when they have sex? They aren't. This is a "workplace" enforcement. Employees can be forced to wear safety glasses, fall protection, gloves, specific footwear. And now condoms. In the workplace only. This ordinance does not tell men they must wear condoms at home or at anytime in their private lives. But I agree it is unenforceable so I hope it doesn't slow down production. I need the work.
  • Will the porn studios move from LA? 1/27/2012 6:15:11 PM
    Mike Quasar wrote: The industry won't go anywhere. We will simply stop applying for film permits which, under this legislation, would allow the "condom police" to know our whereabouts. This is what I'm thinking, too. Many of the shoots I do are not permitted. Keep a low profile, don't have a big truck out front or a dozen cars parking on the street and respect the neighbors and nothing happens. The only way the cops show up to check permits is if a neighbor calls them.
  • Will the Industry ever be filthy rich again ? 1/20/2012 2:36:34 PM
    Like you, I believe what is cutting into profits is the proliferation of free sites and free scenes. As long as people do not pay to watch companies cannot make money.
  • Porn: For Only Hung Guys and Gorgeous Women? 8/13/2011 1:25:26 PM
    Pentasa wrote: As a generously endowed porn fan, I dunno how many scenes I fast forwarded/skipped because the guy was poorly endowed or the girl was average/ugly. Can porn companies make sure their hired talents meet some compatibility standards before they shoot them? Porn should really be about hung guys and gorgeous women. I know pretty/gorgeousness is in the eye of the beholder but still... But isn't it great that there is porn for all tastes and not just yours?
