I've been doing this six years, and I've shot 2000+ scenes, and I've almost never shot anything worthwhile with strippers (I'm assuming that's what "Barefootsies" is) nor escorts/whores. Porn girls and escorts and strippers share almost nothing in common...except being in the sex industry.

Ever wonder why the same 10 dudes (give or take) were in every porno from about 1975 to 2000? Even with the net, the *good* male talent is slim. In LA, to get good talent (big dicks, big pops, hold wood, and carry a good scene) is still not an easy gig.

Agreed.

Disagreed. Locations don't have to be fancy, but remember this: sex workers, for the most part, don't make very good house guests. I used to shoot amateurs away from LA, and it's always fun to have some knucklehead, dipshit, amateur dude show up at your place at 3am, high on coke, with two of his coke whores "ready to make some porn!" Or just, in general, to know where you're living. I'm not even going to mention other variables: neighbors, school zones, if you have nice stuff in your house you intend to keep...

I'm sure your content is solid, and you've had no troubles shooting out of your house, but it ain't for everyone...that's for sure.

Somebody said $500 a pop for a location, do that 3-4 times a month ONLY and in this kneck of the woods $1500/mnth can actually buy you a pretty nice HOUSE, hell even rent nice apartments around $800/mnth so if you don't want them around your home if you do a dozen shoots a month its worth it to just setup in a different location

I'll take a dozen girls next door over 1-2 bleach blonde porn whores ANY day and those "perfect" girls you see in southern cal and FL are too "plastic" shit there's even somebody on here that pushes a fat nasty bitch and gets badass traffic/conversions.

Lets not forget that practically every decent looking girl I ever run into begs me to setup some cam whore shit for them. MANY of these aren't even girls that need cash, several of them are NURSES making ~$50k/yr which in this area is a good amount to live on.

There are only 2 factors that add up to what you PROFIT! costs and what you make. If you keep costs low you make bank. Getting tons of expensive whores drive costs up too much. If you know what you're doing you can make a good looking girl really quite hot and those are easy to find cheaply.
