My first responsibility is to my models/performers, not to affiliates. Affiliates can always start pushing softcore sites, penis extenders, and pills, until if and when the law changes.

Hustler and other hardcore sites manage to do quite well with no hardcore in their Guest Tour. Even my one-person operation does quite well without showing hardcore in the Guest Tour.

Well, hopefully your decision will not lead to any models being harmed, abused or worse (I've seen your work - I mean abused more than they are in your videos, j/k).

I agree.

No one is forcing ANYONE to give out IDs.

This is a choice. YOUR choice.

Giving out the personal information (regardless of the quasi-qualification of recipients) is putting your talent (the ones who actually make your money for you) in harms way.

However, given that the nature of the niche in question is all about abuse fantasies (pandering to the date rapist mentality), it stands to reason that this exploitation (not giving a shit about women or their safety - as demonstrated by the decision made here) would find its way to the models in real life as well.

Choices and consequences.

It looks like the 'right wingers' might be right about how they characteristize pornographers as being sleazy bastards who will exploit anything and anyone - as long as they make a buck doing it.

Unless I misunderstood, that IS the rationale being offered here - it's the only way to make a buck (by giving out the model info)?
