Fuck my life??????? I'm happily retired, with enough money to see me through to the end of my days. I live in our nice 3 bedroom house in a sleepy little village in Czech, which is where I choose to live because I love it here. Not for any other reason, we could move back to the UK, but our standard of living would come crashing down and England holds nothing for me. We own the house, lock stock and barrel. come over and see the deeds. I have a wife who loves me, a daughter who loves me and a dog who I'm not sure about but he does follow me everywhere I go. I watched Eva recover from an accident that should of killed her, beat very advanced cancer that should of killed me. After 2 years of really being out of working, both recovering and looking after me. She's happy to go back to work and have something that challenges her. I've had a career that most of you would of loved to have. While you sit there punching a keyboard I was taking pictures and movies of naked girls doing wonderful things to themselves and getting paid well to do it. After getting rid of the studio and staff, stopping shooting, the sites still bring in money, that we can add to our small pile. In a business where most of you wouldn't last 3 months after what happened to us, that's pretty good. Don't you think? I have, the money we didn't blow on boys toys and mortgages like so many, my private pensions and State invalid benefits. Don't tell me I'm a parasite, I paid for every penny I'm getting now many times over. I'm now scanning stuff from 25 years ago. Nice because I can see how I progressed as a shooter, remember some great days and brings home how much I grew. The downsides to my life are. My saliva glands are fucked and will never recover. My strength and stamina is pretty poor, the Manwin shoot proved to me I will never come back to shooting. Whether I want to or not. I'm physically not capable. I'm truly pissed that people like you turned what should of been the new dawn of porn, into it's dusk. As far as making money. You online guys missed the opportunity of a lifetime. Few have the chances you did to make billions. You fucked up. If 1-100 buy. 99 don't. 99 lost customers. If 1-1,000 buy, 999 don't buy. If the reason they don't buy is the amount of free porn online, legit free porn. Or the lack of will to join the site, the fix isn't throwing more traffic at it. But for 10 years and more, that's the only fix many of you could think of. And you put the growing traffic down to all the people wanting the free porn. did you really think those who would buy or were remotely interested in porn wouldn't come anyway? If you did, you don't understand marketing porn online, offline or any bloody way you can imagine. Men like looking at porn, they will look at porn given the chance, by supplying them with millions of free galleries you diminish their need to buy the product. This was something people knew a decade ago. People were saying that too much content in a gallery was hurting sales. But if one gallery had 10 pictures in, the archives had 10,000 other galleries. Today the problem is the same it was then. Just got worse because you kept thinking more traffic = more sales. And used the most stupid excuses possible to back that claim. No traffic no sales = But use content to get traffic. They can sell water and water's free. = If you live with your Mum it is, otherwise you pay for water out the tap. They give away free samples in supermarkets. = They don't give away a crate of them. MacDonalds can sell crap burgers = Not by giving them away for free. Yes I'm pissed that idiots turned what should of been a business that was thriving into a business that can nearly see it's end. Unless you give away porn to sell ad space. Seriously though Damian and please don't ignore this. Where will you be working in 5 years time? Still in your living room or your Mum's living room or where? Don't worry about my life, it's fine. :thumbsup |

If you come to the show in Prague you'll find out what I'm like. Anyone notice how Damian ignores my question? So here it is again. Damian what will your next career be? with so many jumping ship or diversifying because they see the demise of porn, what will a little guy like you turn his hand to? Marketing your magic skills is a failed project so far. Watch me perform magic at a corporate PORN event :1orglaugh Don't you think it's time to get a professional video of your amateur magic show? Want me to send you the money? Nikki, I love taking the piss out of the trolls. |

Paul... I can't keep it straight...
So you can make money now in porn? Even with old content? Amazing. Boy am I glad we didn't sell off all our titles rights now like all those other old school companies! |

How you and your brother doing? Was wondering, when we met is San Diego, did I have Eva with me or was it earlier than that and my Filipino wife was with me? Anyway thanks for the lunch. :thumbsup On a business note, I'm sure there's money in the old archives of many a porn company. Pre 1995 Private was great, Anabolic gang bangs, Zane and a ton more. Some companies really should be looking at if they can buy Internet licenses on this old stuff. |

A porn magazine shelf in an adult shop had a ton of magazines, often 100's when counting old ones as well, (like sites today), multi-packaged ones, discount boxes, etc. (before counting what they have at home already that are free now) By your logic, all the other magazines didn't convert the customers, they were just looking, flipping, and ended up with another magazine or maybe even left the store or maybe got a dvd and no magazine at all. Then again, not everyone coming in the door bought the best magazine either, but chances are they looked at it - it sold more due to exposure, and took from others... oh wait, just like today. The reality is, the other 999 didn't get sold, but will buy something else, yeah they may flip through a few more mags for free shots, leave today, come back later, but they will buy... they always do. People set out to buy, buy, almost every single time. People not sure, often don't buy. Just like people window shop in malls, by the 1000's daily, often never buy, but every once in a while they get sold. This happens all over, from porn shops, porn sites, mainstream business, even freaking restaurants - however they still ALWAYS buy at some point - just not always from you. BTW, that means... more people (ie: traffic) gives you more chances to find those people that will buy from you. I'm really not sure how you don't get that.... but whatever. I'll let ya get back to scanning old porn for a few extra bucks while the rest of us continue to make millions. |

I appeared in and/or shot for quite a few of those -Private, Anabolic, Zane, Odyssey, LBO, etc. back in the day so I will take that as a compliment...:winkwink: |

Yes the fools who sold their rights of work for the paycheck at the end of the week, must be feeling sick now. Yes those films, well some, were great. I think it was down to the lack of pressure on shooters, budgets and definitely models. Today the LA stuff seems so bloody fake. Even amateurs look like they've done it 100 times. The only people who look like they're new to it are the guys with the cameras. :1orglaugh Now Damian you can say I bought 2 wives and one cleaned me out. You must be creaming in your pants at this. :thumbsup I'm happy to bring a little light into your life. |

Filipino wife. Could you be any more stereotypical if you tried? |
So someone bought a set of old content from Paul's bargain basement for $9.99 so while his wife is at work supporting his ass he runs to GFY and posts about it. What a joy retirement must be.

Congrats, because not a lot of people can say that. I hope to one day as well. Profit from things I did 20+ years ago that is.
now back to the fuckery. |

It was a very large store that sold everything adult related. They had a huge magazine section with something for everyone. They had a room in the back where employees shrink wrapped every single magazine before it was put out on the shelf. There was no browsing through magazines. You bought the magazine because of the cover and or the reputation of that magazine. Shoppers were carefully monitored and anyone tearing open a shrink wrap was ejected from the store.They did huge business, had two cashiers and there was always a line to pay for your items. On the flip side there is a Books a Million in the mall that also has a huge mainstream magazine section. They however do not shrink wrap their magazines so people are able to pick them up and look through them. They even take it a step further and provide chairs and sofas so people can sit down and be comfortable while they read the magazines. You go there on a Saturday afternoon and there will be upwards of 20 people looking through magazines. You could sit there and read all you want of your favorite magazines without spending a dime. There is no line at the register and hardly anyone actually buys the magazine. No reason to since they got to view it for free. Two different ways of selling magazines and it appears that by protecting their merchandise the adult book store sold far more magazines than the Mall book store that let their customers use the magazines for free. |
Here's something Paul constantly forgets about:
(I am no "kid". I've been around porn for 25+ years now. Oh - and for Penthouse, Hustler and Screw, name brands.) I'm tired of hearing from you Paul how "1 in a 100 buy, leaving 99 that didn't therefore you online guys are loser idiots...." (paraphrasing here). PAUL: How many people went into an old school XXX video store, looked around at all the titles, then LEFT WITHOUT BUYING A THING? How many people Paul would go to a newsstand, stand there, flip through countless porn mags (admiring your unequaled work, no doubt), put the mag down and LEAVE WITHOUT PAYING? I have a friend who owns a newsstand on the corner of 39th and 5th, here in Manhattan. Has owned it for about 30 years now. He's as old as YOU are Paul! Know what he says? About 1 out of 100 people who stop by his stand to oogle the porn mags buy one. It's been this way for 30 years. SO PAUL: when you get a "ratio" of 1:100 IT IS THE SAME EXACT THING AS WHEN YOU WERE WORKING IN MAGS. Same ratios. So this point, which you hammer home non-stop, is NOT an indicater of how bad porn is now, how idiotic we online guys are and can't compare to "shooters" from the Seventies, etc etc. You sound idiotic and old every time you say things like this Paul, and the worst part is it simply is NOT TRUE. Now go play with your puppy. :) |

As well, not all paysites give away everything, some blur nudity, don't give away free promo material, and so on. That's called business, everyone does it differently. Thing is... most bookstores that are still here today, do let you browse the books, magazines, etc. Even bookmans has an adult section, little private area for you to check them out. Amazon has free chapters and now more importantly - reviews! I don't buy a book based on it's cover, never have and never will - very few people ever do. |

justinsain THat Books store was obviously doing the right thing, giving away the product and making it easy for free loaders is the way to do business. </sarcasm> Most people in online porn don't have a clue how the business was run and the money taken. They quote Private's figures and think that's it. Even Fabian did it which again shows a huge lack of understanding. So here's a question for all those who think porn was bigger on the Internet. How many ways did a porn shop and porn production company have of making money? No long termers please, let the big mouth newbies to porn come up with an answer. |

You are the only person who thinks there was more money in porn before the largest ever distribution model appeared. It's so funny. Just like you are the only person who thinks censorship is good. |
Quote:
If this industry converted 1-100 browsers we would all be making millions a week. Your posts proves you don't have to do a lot to get men to look at porn. It's bloody easy. And when conversion ratios over all has gone to 1-1,000s of the browsers, we in trouble. I suspect your friend didn't lat them leaf through the magazines on a NY Street. But what the hell. What did you do in porn years ago? You can answer the question I posed. |
Quote:
How many ways does a porn company today make money? I bet you can't answer it. Or rather, how many ways does one company make money vs. another company? Gota be a few more stupid questions we can ask.... humm. |
Quote:
Can you not contemplate multiple situations/ideals and time, at once to draw a conclusion? Is this how you've looked at business your entire life? That's f'in nuts! |
Quote:
In the offices of Hustler, Trojan, Score or on GFY? Your troll game is very weak today. I'm one of the very few who worked in offline porn. Most of the people here, like you, didn't have a clue what was being made. Answer my question I posed about where the money came from. |
Quote:
Of course they stand there and flip through the mags. They aren't shrink-wrapped (well, the "3 for $9.99" bundles are, but not Barely Legal, Hustler, et al). In fact, when it comes to actual STORES (my friend runs a newsstand on the corner, differant thing) the guys behind the counter tell me they still have "issues" (pun intended, heh) with dudes whacking it in the corner to the mags. Depends on the store, of course, and the neighborhod, but it still happens. What I did was write interviews, investigative pieces and DVD reviews for the porn mags. This was a side-biz for me because I love sex. LOL Mostly I worked in music and entertainment, but went on a couple porn shoots for Wicked, interviewed Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein, helped Al with some DVD reviews, wrote some funny sex stories for Screw, on and on. Penthouse of the Year parties were always the thing to look forward to back then. LOL Now I'm a keyboard-pounding monkey. Life eh? |
this shit is still going on? who gives a fuck!!!

You think the porn market was worth more before the internet because you used to sell to some hotels? This is FUCKING HILARIOUS. Really Paul. The thing is, you actually believe it's true. I have no doubt. No wonder you're so bitter and twisted in your old age. You could have *actually* made millions if you had worked out what the internet was back in the day. Sadly, it still confuses and scares you now! I'd be pissed if I was living in a cottage that is so small I was embarrassed to post a pic of what 40 years in porn bought me. Are you still looking to get a .xxx? Quote:
