My hetro movies sell very well but my tranny and gay movies are the real bread winners. Truth be told, I'm shooting less hetro these days and more TS and gay because that is where the real money is. Gay especially. Gay movies will wholesale at sometimes TRIPLE what hetro movies sell for. I plan to be totally done with hetro by the end of this year, and focus totally on gay and TS. Doesn't make much sense to have to shoot 2 or 3 hetro movies to make the same money ONE gay or TS will make. Of course I am speaking about my own product and not just selling scenes to clients for fast cash.
