    The aging porn industry

    Every since that "Birthday's Today" box has shown up above the list of forums on this site, i've been getting depressed.

    Everyone is like 35-45 years old now!!

    i'm older than 45 as are a bunch of people I know in the industry

    it is depressing, lots of guys i thought of as kids when I got into this biz are over 40, some over 50 and so on.

    time marches on. when i got into this i had 2 parents - i have none now. i'm sure i'm not alone there.

    happy to have cheered you up!

      Forty-six years old and still banged the wife this morning. Older is just smarter.

          sigh. I found some old Streamray business cards this morning with the Legendary Lars logo on them. It doesn't feel like that long ago... but it is.

                  I look forward to death nearly as much as the first cup of coffee in the morning.

                    Does anyone not think about death on a daily basis? Does anyone sit around and look at traffic and buildings and think this will go on long after I'm dead? Or do you think I should get some Prozac?

                      I can't believe how flaky people under 40 can be anyway, much better dealing with adults.

                        There has never been a Generation Gap like the one we will be facing in a few years time. When the Baby Boomers retire and die out, and us Generation X-ers get older and crankier, this world will be left to....yup, the smart phone/iPad/chip-me-now-it's-more-convenient crowd.

                                I went through a horrible lull in my late 30's where I was "too old" for the ones I was attracted to, and everyone my age was partnered. Somehow, a few years ago, I crossed some invisible threshold. Now, I'm 46, and gorgeous guys half my age are practically falling over themselves to get with me.

                                As long as they keep making twinks with daddy issues, I'm in business. I think I'm set for a while.

                                            For real, your 30s and 40s (and beyond) are nothing to be afraid of. Eat healthily, work out every day, enjoy your life, enjoy your body, laugh every day and you'll be criss. Don't be scared of time, it shows and teaches you awesome things and you can still look and feel amazing if you don't resign yourself to being over some arbitrary 'hill'.

                                            Looking back on my 20's I was so insecure, I knew who I wanted to be and what I wanted to accomplish but it all seemed so nebulous and my approach was always so fucking tentative. Now though, fuck that. I'm much more financially (and psychologically) established and energetic and I go for what I want, no holds barred. There's a confidence and enjoyment of life that comes with experience, looking back I wouldn't wish to be 20 again for anything. Yeah it was fun at the time, I just had no idea how much more wicked life could get as the years went by.

                                            30 need not be old, 40 need not be old, hell 50 need not be old. It's all in where your head is at and how you treat your body.

                                                For real, your 30s and 40s (and beyond) are nothing to be afraid of. Eat healthily, work out every day, enjoy your life, enjoy your body, laugh every day and you'll be criss. Don't be scared of time, it shows and teaches you awesome things and you can still look and feel amazing if you don't resign yourself to being over some arbitrary 'hill'.

                                                Looking back on my 20's I was so insecure, I knew who I wanted to be and what I wanted to accomplish but it all seemed so nebulous and my approach was always so fucking tentative. Now though, fuck that. I'm much more financially (and psychologically) established and energetic and I go for what I want, no holds barred. There's a confidence and enjoyment of life that comes with experience, looking back I wouldn't wish to be 20 again for anything. Yeah it was fun at the time, I just had no idea how much more wicked life could get as the years went by.

                                                30 need not be old, 40 need not be old, hell 50 need not be old. It's all in where your head is at and how you treat your body.

                                                    Life started for me at about 40. It just keeps getting better.

They seemed to have to remind themselves that they were old, but they clearly didn't feel it

                                                                                                Right! Music is where it's the most obvious, for me. I can not listen to commercial radio and say, "Oh, that's the new single from _____." (Ke$ha, Iggy, Taylor, whoever) I can not tell the difference in their voices or their producers' sound. Completely indistinguishable.

                                                                                                And if I throw a reference to Annie Lennox, Pete Burns, Dave Gilmour, even David Bowie, or anyone else I find interesting for one reason or another, I get the retarded cocker Spaniel look. It's like we're from different countries.

When i look at some of the 20-21 year old guys that apply to us for jobs. Zero insight into how life really is, wearing those ridiculous super tight jeans and beiber haircuts. Zero experience, straight out of school (that didn't teach them anything) but demanding a wage higher then a coder with 5 years experience should get.
