You're making two mistakes in your reasoning. First, you assume that the money outside of porn will be bad. Second, you fail to realize the importance of doing something you actually love doing.

There's more to life than money, really. Money is great, ofcourse, but it isn't really of any use if you have to sacrifice something far more important for it, namely happiness.

Life is short, and all you have is some time. You can either use that time to make tons of money, so you can have a really nice burial or whatever, or you can use it doing the things you really want, and make money while doing those things.

For me, the choice is clear.

sounds like a wise decission from a cool guy.I wish you good luck.
you are the man

Niki · 02-14-2004, 11:05 AM

What does no longer working on adult sites have to do with whether or not one posts on a message board? Unless one "found religion" I have never understood these abrupt dumping of an entire community of friends/acquaintances posts...

Oh, I'm not dumping the adult community. It's just that I used to come to GFY in between work, for entertainment and to see if there was any news in the industry. Since I'll be spending considerably less time online than before, I probably won't spend any significant amount of time on gfy anymore.

Besides, there are too many surfers on this board already as is, no need to add to that

I've made no mistakes in reasoning. If this is how you want to spin your exit, go for it.

For instance, a while ago tons of newbies were saying that there's no more money in porn. Now, it seems a bunch of veterans are thinking that there's no money outside of porn

Seriously, leaving the industry does not mean living in poverty, nor does activism mean becoming a broke hippie.

No, It means earning commissions on fund raising

Bro we'll have a drink on that one

Libertine · 02-14-2004, 04:14 PM

Why do you people find it so hard to accept that other people may place value on other things than you do?

Hell, I'd gladly live in poverty for the rest of my life if I could get the story I'm working on right now on paper the way I want it. Money is important, but for me, it's not the most important thing in life.

Jeez, you people sure get offended when someone doesn't share your worldview

quiet · 02-14-2004, 04:39 PM

heh, i know exactly where you're coming from. good luck punkworld.

hey! I accept your choice ... I'm just in adult biz as long as you are and have seen these "leaving threads" several times ... also a few friends of mine left adult biz ... they are all back ... except one who sell all sites and he don't know how to start again

... you're keeping all your sites ... good for ya man!
