    How long have you been in the industry?

    Just curious how long all of you have done this for? It just seems like there is a high turnover in this industry. It seems similar to being a stripper, you can only do it until you break down and get to old. At what point should I expect it to start "wearing" on me? Because so far it is great.

              I did some lame shit in 1996 I believe it was, then went back into mainstream sites, then decided I'd give this a real run.

                  With a body like yours, you should be a model. ;)

                    Do you have a camera? I heard content providers are in high demand.

                          Started about late 99, but not really seriously until yesterday. hehe Seriously, got serious, bought own domains and work regularly on sites etc in Aug 2000.

                          The reason for high turnover is newbies think it's a quick money maker then they wake up.

                                    I was in the adult industry starting in about 1993, selling nudie pics through the mail. About 1995 I discovered the Internet and started showing my pics on a website.

There is a no compete clause but it does not bar me from certain aspects of this business if I choose to involve myself again. I think that I probably won't as I was not any good at it in the first place. It was my manager, then partner, then friend, that made the business in the first place.

                                                                                      No point in appealing, too late and did not need to upset them, just told the taxman to ask them for my accounts.
