Should I completely back out of adult? I'll take a majority post on this. - GoFuckYourself.com

johnnyloadproductions · 10-22-2011, 09:07 PM

I'm on the fence....

After visiting a producer this summer and realizing what porn did to his marriage and how people judge you if they have ever known you did adult, I'm starting to think I should just pull out.

Being immersed in adult never factors in your favor if some legal problems come about. You walk into a courtroom and you immediately have 2 strikes against you.

I'm also sick of how out of control content has become.

This doesn't mean I'm leaving GFY but means I should probably just pull out of this whole foray of adult together.

...become an also ran in the adult world... not like I made it really in the first place. I figure for someone like me it is probably just better to be a hardcore developer and just sweep this under the rug and move on.

Please leave your comments below and be honest. Harsh, mean, and just awful I need to hear them all please!!! Push me off the fence...

Be back 1 hour from this post.

You're a broke loser so it doesnt matter if you're in porn or not. you will still be a broke loser.

worrying about what happened to in others peoples' marriage shows you're a loser because you do not feel you can accomplish it if others cant. because you already put yourself on a lower level than them.

you should probably just turn into an alcoholic and give up on life.

the worst part about is you ask a bunch of stranger dudes on an internet board for advice.

depends what part of adult you are in its not hard to keep a few adult sites running without anybody knowing but if you what to should content or run a brothel thats a little bit harder to keep under you hat
the choice will only be your to make

lazycash · 10-22-2011, 09:23 PM

Don't give up on adult, you still have some tissues left.

Most people learn only from their own mistakes. A fool doesn't learn from his mistakes. A wise man learns from others.

The truth is you're not immune. What has happened to others, good and bad, can happen to you.

It's been said that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Many an elderly person has, toward the end of their life, wished that they had followed their passion. Few on their death bed say "I only wish I had made more money." If adult doesn't get your juices flowing, follow your passion. Do whatever it is that gets you pumped up about a project you're working on.

One long term consequence I sometimes wonder about: given that I'm in the teen niche and people are quick to scream "CP!!!" (I've had one site blocked by google, and another complaint made directly to my host) I'm wondering if my name is on some sort of watchlist, and I'll get pulled aside if I ever happen to visit that country.

The other long term consequence is that adult related domains which did have my real name associated with them at some time (even years ago) are forever archived at places like domaintools. One day that data may appear as a google result when searching for my name.

JuicyBunny · 10-22-2011, 11:20 PM

A 95 year old Jewish guy told me this as he was being dragged away to the old folks home...

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a beautiful day to nail a sucker."

lol...

(He managed a chain of furniture stores in NYC before retiring.)

He was always foolin around. Has a great sense of humor...

He's a cool old dude... He made it to 95 and still drives....

To OP. You cant worry about other people. Just do your job, the one you love. If it doesn't work out eat a gun or be a drunk, whatever. As you can see, little sympathy at the zoo.

not the greatest tune but kind of a cool message

if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tuff

another from SQ since we're here

one more from a documentary perpective

As far as whether to quit or not.. depends on your past success and your current financial condition among other variables. You almost need money to live on now days until you finally make enuf to live on (your nut).

Anyhow a million variables.. depends how bad you want it now days and if it is even feasable. I dont think you can start this biz broke and make it anymore unless you have a close tutor. You have to lose money to make money now days. You have to try stuff and not all will work. Pretty tough stuff now days really.

If you are young, go drive a long distance truck and make 80-100K easily annually.

Anyhow, some or none of this may apply to you. Good luck

CaptainHowdy · 10-23-2011, 07:30 AM

It's okay to give up ...

NetHorse · 10-23-2011, 07:35 AM

If ya can't handle it then just walk away. Who are you trying to convince here? Looks like you made up your mind. Why plan on having to walk in a courtroom? I don't know what fraction of a percentage of people running a legit biz have to, even then it's probably due to carelessness that can easily be avoided. As for what others think about your porn biz, well that's on you and how you conduct yourself. But, it shouldn't matter anyways.

If you're a weirdo creep then yeah, the fact you run an online porn biz probably doesn't help.

ottopottomouse · 10-23-2011, 08:19 AM

Sound ashamed. Give everything you own to your nearest religious cult, you'll feel much better.

The Porn Nerd · 10-23-2011, 09:19 AM

I wonder about many of the same things, to be honest here. This is why I am an anonymous cartoon character instead of, say, Robbie, who flaunts his work and lifestyle and is proud to be what he is: a successful pornographer (and more). I do admire that about Robbie (and others), how they don't seem to give a fuck what anyone else thinks about them.

THIS is true "freedom", BTW: Not giving a fuck what other people think of you, or what you do, how you dress, look, etc.

Anyway, if you're thinking this way then you should probably just fade out as gracefully as you can.

For me, because of my network and "success", it's a little harder to just walk away with no consequences. I'd be giving up a lotta moolah if I did so, with nothing to replace it (at the moment). But if you're not financially tied to Adult and are feeling this way then you should split, or at least take a long break and see how you feel about things a few months from now.

Cheers and best of luck either way!

If you like, I will offer you a FREE "Poo Prediction"...!!!

Simply take a poo, take a pic, and post it here for me to look at... I can then, divine the answer you need...

johnnyloadproductions · 10-23-2011, 10:08 AM

I appreciate all the responses, interesting. I'm not tied in financially too much, not enough to make a living anyway.
I will slowly fade out and a few people will not like it and in the process a few real strong connections were made but it's really not worth the stigma that's come with it.

So it's going to be sticking to mainstream related work which I've already done. Adult is fun and the naked girls are great but it effects people a certain way and to some it really isn't pretty.
Lots of great stories... but that's enough for adult.

At least for me, adult will make normal life impossible.

This means helping people that do adult with webmaster or developer related task is still in the cards but no more mass wp blogs, running a board, or hosting content.

This is still a place to troll and lurk though.

SmutHammer · 10-23-2011, 10:28 AM
