What does it mean to you being in the porn busines

[one eyed jack]

I've asked this question on UKAP and various places because the answers i seem to get from people are quite vague that i wonder if its just a job or whether they actually gave it any thought what they were letting themselves in for embarking on such an extraordinary vocation that they risk getting villified for by friends, family and sectors of society

Was it just an easy way to make money? I dont buy that argument giving the std outbreaks every now and again that have people running around like headless chickens

Was it to prove something?

Was it simply sex and money?

Youre way of saying I dont give a fuck in a rebellious way (when the irony of that is you do give a fuck for a living)

This is for anyone involved in porn. Not just producers and performers

We are swingers who film our naughty adventures & have never claimed to be anything else, as we have nothing to prove we can enjoy what we do & it comes across on the films...we somehow have a cult following which still amazes us lol!.

I still get embarrassed being asked for autographs but we love the perks like getting into most UK swinging clubs for free to meeting TV stars to Ministers...people we would never meet in a normal job.

95% of our friends are from the industry & the swinging scene so the wealth of that alone is enough for making porn worthwhile, we know we will never be rich but it sure beats working in Tesco's (nothing wrong with working in Tesco's though xx).

In the last year we tried to wind down only to find we are shooting more films than we have ever done so even after all these years we still can't understand the workings of this crazy industry but love it anyway.

We have now started jotting down bits for a book about our lives before me & John met & our interesting 15 years of fun together in the film industry & UK swinging scene...."Secret diary of a call girl" as nothing on us lol!

Well... the back story is pretty simple, I worked my ass off making a lot of money for someone else in Sales... then out of the blue got made redundant at 33... said I would never work for anyone else ever again... and all apart from one job as a "consultant" haven't...

Don't think I could do a 9 to 5 anymore anyways...

Being in this industry to me is a pleasure, love what I do... yes I would like to actually make more from it... but never feels like hard work, even the boring stuff...

Plus it makes a hell of a conversation opener when I doing other stuff, such as playing poker lol... that always goes down well at the table...

Mind you when I grow up I do want to be a astraunut (or how ever you spell it !)

You sound similar to me except I did a lot of shit jobs among the good ones.

I even worked 3 jobs until I made myself sick from it then decided I was never going to make money the way i was going

That doesnt answer the question I posed but I thought you and I have similar beginnings. I felty I found my true calling and it gave me a chance to make a living as well as making films and buying the toys Ive always wanted to have. the freedom. the travel, socialising and network events.

I love it all and everything (well, most of it) I love I will defend zealously

All of your above remarks for me Terry. Porn was in 1983 my 42nd job so I'd been around a bit. I say was because I am now unemployed and seemingly unemployable because of 30 years in the porn business. I got in it originally because it was a great easy way to get laid without the 'chase' aspect of relationships. Back then I didn't care about any vilification issues because I was held in great esteem by all my jealous mates and there was loads of work about. Now any prospective employer outside of porn dismisses my 30 years photographic/video experience as.........well who knows really, a joke or a waste of time maybe ? All the magazines are now run by idiots and the porn producers now ignore my requests for work. So now it's an awful almost non existent business to be in !

For me ?

I became a model (as people said I would be good at it, including my Father) then a fetish model and porn was just a natural process.

My family all still love me and I have much support from the town (Padstow) where I come from. My daughter has managed to get her head around it too.

As for other people, well I don't really care what other people think. I live my life not them, I have put up with a lot of crap along the way, but knew that was going to happen when I first started thinking about it.

As far s I am concerned, if my close family can still look me in the eye, then that's all that matters to me.

I suppose my reasons for it would be, it feels like the right path for me then and even now.

The industry as changed for worse in the last 10 years but we saw some of the good years before the internet spoilt it all...the LOOT worked well enough lol!

John's the original gadget man and is always working on new formats so we can keep up with the industries fast forward evolution and he loves it, if we went back to civy street now we would be bored silly.

If you are in this job just for the money it will show...if you are just starting out do it because you really love it and you will do well...

Good girl Thats the attitude

[Loolootits]

Agreed.

I have noticed and been told by a fair few men to.

It's a shame, but life is forever changing.

I enjoy doing my cam work quite a lot these days, I love getting to see people on their cam too.

You just got to go with the flow.
