Why so many Australian sponsors? - GoFuckYourself.com

Lexxx · 09-22-2002, 11:58 AM

Isn't porn illegal there anyway? And yet every second big sponsor is Australian...?! Just noticed SexTraffic's banner about getting webmasters laid and was surprised to see them based in Australia as well...

Brown Bear · 09-22-2002, 12:43 PM

Yeah, there is a lot of webmasters from there for some reason.

Why are so many american films made in australia? or how about actors and directors..

Why are the best swimmers in the world from australia? or how about tennis players, cricket, rugby union, league... etc

Why are some of, shit i dunno, just about everything australian better than everybody else?

And how come we only got 20 million or so people in our population and US have got 250 million times as many and we still kick butt?

And oh yeah we got Steve Irwin!!

It'd probably make more $$$-sense to host sites offshore anyway... proximity to major porn markets...

the bush

not many of us urban aussies see much of the bush.
maybe the odd road kill, like a wallaby or a possum (we spell it without an 'o'), and thats as close as we tend to get to the fine bushy traditions of this country. well, unless we hit one ourselves.

we are NOT like steve irwin, and we cringe at the very mention of him.

yes, tim tams are rather nice aren't they

it is all a part of a fiendish plot to enslave the entire world, but don't tell anyone i said that.

I remember a Looooooooong time ago when porn was not even a big business yet, I was doing some commission-based sales online and the man behind a pretty big company then was Australian as well... they started early.

corvo · 09-23-2002, 06:12 PM

i think you will find the quality of the irls here has really picked up since the mass migrations at the end of world war two.
i don't think there are many pure anglos left. well, i know one or two who have both sides of their family just from there.

The pay rates in Australia for models are pretty much exactly the same as pay rates for models in the US, if not a bit more expensive.

the reason why its better for us is our bills are all AUD yet we sell in USD.....we can cut out normal USD profit to beat our competition yet still make a good AUD amount

the only better place is NZ but fuck that sheep content isnt hot yet

Mutt · 09-23-2002, 09:12 PM

um.........that doesn't make any sense mate!

an Aussie porn company pays his hosting in American dollars, his traffic in American dollars and his content in American dollars. So the Aussie dollar doesn't make any difference other than how far those American dollars go in Australia.

I would figure that a car costs you probably pretty much the same there as a % of your yearly income as it does in America.
Same with a house.

But there is some benefit in having a weak dollar when you are getting most of your income in the stronger Yankee buck, just not as much as you suggest.

Ummm - I dont know where you find your models but I can tell you that I pay the same amount in USD equivilant as other similar US based companies do, and I often have to pay more especially when it comes to hardcore.

You are totally correct - the only benefit can be when you take some profits out of the business, it goes a little bit further I guess- but not much.

As far as actual costs alot are US so its irrelevent.

Aren't you in Tasmania? if so, maybe the reason you pay so much is because there aren't very many girls down there, so you gotta pay more $$$ to get any of them to take their clothes off.

Jayson · 09-23-2002, 09:23 PM

I shoot all over the place - more in Melbourne than I do in Tasmania.

I also know several other photographers and they all pay around the same as me - infact I am one of the cheaper ones.

So if someone wants to send me some cheap (quality) models - I am open for it - hey I will even kick in a nice finders fee.

Brown Bear · 09-23-2002, 09:30 PM

Do you guys know of any Australian amateur sites? I think I've seen maybe 2-3 of them, but for some reason Australia doesn't have many amateur sites. The only ones I can think of are www.kimberlybrowneyes.com and www.mariesplace.net

do you guys know of any more?

Jayson · 09-23-2002, 09:35 PM

Not a single model site but as far as australian amateurs go they have a shit load of models.

helis · 09-23-2002, 11:14 PM

see your talking about costs i'm talking about profit i guess i didnt make that clear enough

us aussies deal in a US market so most costs are in us dollars but when it comes to the end of the month to work out profit it works out higher now my minimum weekly amount of profit i need to make to live in say $350 AUD thats like rock bottom it will just cover my rent food and petrol.....that is the US is like $190 tell me someone who can live in that amount in a big city in a good area in a 3 bedroom house.........

so as you can see the profit part does make a big differencemy minimum amount i need to earn is lower then US competition so of course that means i can beat prices or atleast match bigger companies

BTW i do not make content that somehow got confused into all this as well
