If The Adult Biz Died Tomorrow, Could You Walk Away Happy?
I was thinking about this today...
If online porn died tomorrow and all your revenue streams were cut off. Would you walk away and be happy and say that the adult industry didn't owe you a thing? Or would you be depressed and pissed off that you didn't make as much as you possibly could and that you never caught a break? Personally, if my revenues were cut off tomorrow, I would still have a house over my head and revenue streams coming in from my other properties. Sure I would not be making remotely as much as I am now, but I would also go as far to say I would not be mad at all. The adult biz gave me so many memorable experiences over the past 2 years. All the travelling, partying, meeting great people and making a bunch of loot. What would you guys say? Would you walk away happy, with a smile on your face? Or be sad and resentful that the glory days were over. DH |

I'd have enough money to last me a few years, and continue studying. Since academics/writing is my real goal anyway, I wouldn't really care... I'd have more spare time though

One door closes another one opens up.
Yeah it's cliche, but honestly that's exactly what I've experienced most of my adult life. |

I'd be crying my eyes out. Been investing the last few months of my time into a new system for acquiring adult traffic which is portable to mainstream as well but with the current setup it was built for adult.

Yes, diversified long long time ago.
I can be happy filthy rich or losing it all and being dirt poor. If you need money to make you happy you haven't learned what life is really all about yet.

I think the important question here is if you are planning to spend the rest of your life in the porn business though... if you're not it matters a lot less than if you are (assuming you aren't planning on retiring any time soon).
If literature and philosophy wouldn't exist, the demise of the adult industry would probably devastate me

So what would make me totally unhappy would be if the Net was gone and computers were gone. That would really bum me out completely.

Well, honestly, I wouldn't walk away happy or pissed! I would just go to program for a mainstream company! Although I wouldn't get as much as I make in the Adult biz, but I would have to do what I would have to do!

We also have a property development company, which has grown and grown over the last ten or so years. Pretty stupid to have all you eggs in one basket.
Online adult is fun and very lucrative but if and when it goes its time to move on. Business is business. There is a big wide world out there away from the computer desk and if you have had the breaks and been sensible enough to save enough to ensure a secure future for your family it would be the perfect time to go out and see it all.

I could make it very well from my day time job, but I would surely be pissed off. I earn more from porn than from software development.

no one in this world is really happy.
no one who has to work for a living is happy. sure you can wear your smile like the rest of us, but we are all slaves.

Still the world sucks, and no one is really happy. youre a slave to the dollar like the rest of us man, that doesnt mean I dont have a positive outlook on life itself, having to get up and work does not make one happy. at least not i said the californian.

and of course you NEVEr have bills after your house is paid. this is fuzzy logic. you couldnt do anything you do now, which is what makes you happy, yet somewhow you think a home makes you happy? doesnt really work that way, in this world, you WORK for your happiness man. and thats what sucks about this place. having a roof over your head is easy, that doesnt make someone happy, it keeps you out of the cold, but without a job youre still nothing but a bum hehehe and without money you are poor and definitely not happy.

i wouldn't be happy and yeah i'd probably be pissed. i want to be doing this for a long time. i dread to think what i would have to do for a job if not for adult. probably some minimum wage hellhole working my ass off. probably should of gotten post secondary education...oh well! with any luck i'd find something similar to do, tho i can't think of any job like this one.
