The official "Why I don't go to Internext" and "What the fuck is wrong here?" thread

OK people, business people, corporations involved in the business of selling sex. You and I as an industry...

As seedy and controversial as this industry can be, as much as we operate under the microscope of society and at times do things we wish we could re-arrange, what the FUCK are you thinking?

Internext is a business gathering of friends, associates and companies. Industry information. Networking. Fun.

Why almost EVERY Internext do I see pictures of people fucking in the hallway?

I KNOW this business is about sex. Everyone in it likes sex, they better. People like to watch people fuck. That's how we make our money.

But WHY do we need to have people fuck in the hallway at our industry business gatherings? Do you think this helps the industry in any way? Most of the people we bo business with are REAL businesses, corporations even.

When my bank or my insurance company or my accountants have conventions, do they have a fuck pile in the hallway? No... I don't think so.
Would I think of them as professionals and trust them with my business matters for displaying such actions? No... I don't think so.

A year or so ago, when I had sponsors, one of them gave me content shot at Internext with some chicks with cocks in their ass while the people I do business with stood around with their hands in their pants. I was then, and I still am thinking.. what the FUCK were they thinking?

Don't even get me wrong. Without people fucking on camera, we'd all be out of a job. We need people to fuck, we need content, it sells. It pays the bills and the salaries. But this is BUSINESS people!

I see people fuck every day. You like to fuck. I like to fuck. My wife likes to fuck. Everyone likes to fuck. But...

If I go to a business convention, I want to go for business. I don't take college classes to fuck, I go to calsses for business. Maybe I'm just stupid and see the potential here to make a lot of money in BUSINESS. I dunno.

People fucking in the hallway sure as hell don't help the industry image.

That's my opinion, please feel free to flame away. I'm going to watch tv :)

True :)

One word... Tailhook

:glugglug

why do people at video game conventions play video games. like what the FUCK are they thinking? like fuck, grow the fuck up people. jesus.

I totally agree with you, but my guess is that it draws lots of nerdy webmasters who can't wait to see some real-live action :2 cents:

slackers, forgot a hallway

mmmh... I havent seen those pics! :1orglaugh

i think some ppl feel they have an image or something to live up to, also i think ppl use the industries image to do things they normally wouldn't. a lot of ppl view the conventions as more of a party than a business convention.

There is plenty of fucking going on at those other types of conventions. However, they usually do their escorts in their hotel rooms. I agree that it is in poor taste to do anal sex in a public place but get a bunch of drunk teenage porn webmasters together and what do you expect? I'm sure Spring Break is just as bad these days.

On the other hand, if that's ALL that goes on at these conventions I'll never go.

awe I totaly disagree, What do you mean "Do you think this helps the industry in any way" Do you really think OUR INDUSTRY will ever have a good name? Come on now, Ive only been to two of these the first was in Vegas and the last Montreal I tell ya what, you get a few brews in ya the ugly turns pretty and the pretty turns into goddess, and I have no problem doing in booths, hallways,pools, stairways etc....

All these shows are one big ass parties, and networking, without NETWORKING 60% of us wouldnt be where WE are, even though im a broke stupid ass for given money away like it was nothing. *shrugs* Im sure you will get tons of people to jump on the bandwagon OH hhhhhh I agree blablahblah *shrugs*
Why am i even posting?

TOM

It's not all that goes on. There is a lot of great business information, ideas, legal seminars, networking and more.

I'm just saying, how does this portray our industry as a legitimate business force in the world?

If you think the people who are trying to slam our industry, as well as a portion of the public eye doesn't see this, think again. :)

for me, all of the conventions (including internext) are simply a way to write off a vacation as a business expense.

beautiful.

Internext is fun.

I saw maybe one "sex show" the whole time this last year in Vegas and there were so many people piled around what was going on there was no way people were seeing shit.

However...I got to meet all the top TGP guys (nothing like having Pierre from World Sex look around at Sleazydream, AdultBuffet and TheHun's reviewer and point me out and say "DiabolicalGalleries, these guys are good.") as well as top representatives of the sponsors we push, content providers I do alot of biz with and hang with some of the funnest guys around.

I spent most of one night hanging with Dugmor, Easton, Slim, GrimShawn, Tom Va2K, Tib @sexymojo and we all got really plastered.

The center bar is where it's all happening, not in that sweatbox suite with all the guys filming some poor local hooker getting banged.

So don't come to the conventions, miss out on the fun, the business and personal relationships that develop...stick at home it's all cool.

No, I see your point also. I see both sides of the story. It is party town, and at least some of it should be. Phone booths, 'cmon Tom :) I guess I can't say I've never done similar, but I am saying there could be a lot more professional behavior displayed.

"Do I really think OUR INDUSTRY will ever have a good name?"

No. Not totally. But I guarantee you that when I go to my banker and accountant, it sure as hell does, because THAT's business. When I go in there, I'M business. So on that level, with those people, it does.

AST

pure genius

Hell yea $65.00 canadian whore thats a night i wont ever forget :thumbsup

:1orglaugh
Didn't hit some nice fresh pussy in a long time now did we?

You made some very good points and I agree with the majority of them. I see nothing wrong with having some fun but within reason. I to go to network and try to learn more about the business that provides me with my financial stability. I would rather sit around and listen to a seminar on the pros and cons of whatever then to be drooling over some half naked girl like it was the first time I saw a tit. I saw some of the pics from the various parties and have to say the dildo party turned me right of and Im a guy that loves women. If that was the only thing going on I would rather take my girlfriend for a walk along the beach then be in there. If my only purpose was to get stinking drunk and puke in the hallway I could do that for alot less the what some of these people paid to get there.


Just my :2 cents:

Don't forget who the Internext is now catering too

Young Webmasters who are in general single and/or nerdy with money. The only live sex they see is either online or in a video.

Most guys I hang out with I already know, talked on icq or have done business with in the past. It's nice to see them in person, hey if I get smashed thats life.

When we go to Internext we in Generally only go as a vaccation I can write off woo hoo and to see some people I haven't seen in a long time.

If I meet new people and do some business its an extra bonus

I know that's probably the case in point, but I disagree to the point that there's a lot going on that really doesn't need to be on display.

I know there is tremendous networking going on, and a lot of valuable information exchanged. I'm not knocking Internext at all. It's important to the industry. The sex shows are not. (IMO).

I can see how you want to create a more business like environment, but consider that we sell sex so what do you expect? The hallway fucking is the freebie samples, point of sale displays if you will =)

What's Internext all about?

Let's see you got $150 x 2 shows x 1,500 attendees = $450,000

and $2,000 x 2 shows x 150 exhitbitors = $600,000

Hmmm, Internext look's like about a cool Million a year.

Nice!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So, it's business. I agree. :)

AST

many of us put in our time shackled to a cubicle desk in corporate america. if you are going to be an uptight pussy i can get you a job in a sweet gray cubicle in a building with 3,000 gray cubicles all filled with sheep like you.

be a man or go fuck yourself.

:321GFY

Well put. That was an intelligent statement. Can I retain you to represent my company?

If you live life in a shackled to a desk grey cubicle, that's your fault alone.

I run my business from the top of the Rocky Mountains. I'm not anywhere close to "uptight", but I am the CE fucking O. :)

Sheep. Read the statement you just typed. You're sheep, not me :thumbsup

Grey cubicle = sheep.

I'm taking the day off. Going fishing. C-Ya.

AST

Just to let ya know man I wasnt dogging ya last night, was just given my opion HEHE

TOM

wow the ceo. i'm so impressed. i know a lot of poor ceos. good about the mountains. nice place. i just spent 6 months sunning myself on the coast of portugal and travelling around europe. some sheep can afford that.

i said i put in my time. anyone with a brain would read that as past tense. where did you get your experience (or education)?

as far as retaining me. i have plenty of work and you couldn't afford me.

i saw your site. not impressed. you sell what exactly? must be a small house on the top of those rockies.

Dude, lemme tell you how it is.

There are some people on this board who I respect the opinion of, not because of the "power they control", but because they are level headed logical people.

A couple of them are in this thread, and you can guess who.

One is va2k. Please don't ever think I would disrespect you or think bad about you for stating your opinion.

:thumbsup

Please don't talk to me until you can educate yourself on the use of the "shift" key and the context of the English language.

AST

Show your tits!!!!!!!

business seminars make for shitty photo ops.......who wants a picture of the same fucking "player" holding a seminar (usually the same EXACT seminar they held the last 5-6-7 shows)?

We make money in this business because we sell something that is regarded as taboo...

nudity IS the business

I've been to a lot of these shows and I really can't remember any hallway sex in a looooooong time...maybe I'm missing all the good hallway sex shows???

I could give a fuck what anyone else thinks about this business. There was a time when I gave a fuck, now I don't because I realize it just doesn't matter. Even those who consume our product loathe us. I say let them think we're all a bunch of dirtbags, then less of them will want to get into this business and saturate the market.

haha. great response. like telling a black guy not to talk to you until he turns white. education is certainly the keyword.

you confirmed my suspicions though. i didn't think you made any money. making a living at building popup windows? that's nice. have fun fishing dear.

ce fucking o. HAHAHA. there i used the shift key.

i'm bored with you anyway...

Internext is not just one big fuck fest. I agree with what you say, however, the reason all the pictures taken from interext you see are people fucking is because, what else would people take pictures of? Someone shaking hands or talking?

crazy isn't it? they loathe us but those signups keep flooding in. we got 440 signups this weekend. where's the love baby? actually, sales are down. we think because of summer. anyone else having a slow period? okay i'm off subject. i'll post that as another topic....

our business is basic. sex is basic. sex is natural. anyone complaining about it is deeply wrapped in puritanist bullshit handed down to them by their parents. anyone that gets upset about a little show of skin or open sexual expression should check their libido.

its odd they don't have these taboo problems in europe. sex is everywhere and rape is nearly non-existent...

Even if it were not to occur, those who want to slam the industry would find something to use against it. Anyways, why care what the rest of the world thinks about the industry. Just tell anyone not respecting you that your industry makes a hell of a lot more money than theirs does ;p

Besides, it's basically just like a house party......The business stuff (seminars, etc...) are usually during the day, while most of the fucking etc I've seen happens more at the parties...I think if it were legal it'd happen in many more public places too =)

just like any other industy, these conventions are a big travel writeoff for all of us, a good place to meet people you chat online with for years but have never met, a great place to party, and of course the people throwing it try and make some loot too :thumbsup


The funniest thing about them is whenever someone takes her top off, you'd think we've never seen a pair of tits before. Everyone jumping over eachother to get a glimse of some online porn chicks tits... cracks me up every time!:1orglaugh

Hey man with all this freaking stress i have had latley I want to share this with you, this post made me smile thank you sir. im so damn stressed i decided to say fark it and just bought a shit load of traffic, maybe when sales start comming back in ill be happy once again.

TOM

Ditto.

You seem to be advocating taking the porn out of the porn industry.

Maybe you should call up Hugh Hefner and tell him to start acting like a real businessman. :1orglaugh

Pretty much most industry's conventions involve strip clubs and hookers at the end of the day.

I knew a stripper in New Orleans that said she made the most money ever when microsoft was in town. Go figure.

Yup, they'll signup to our sites, but it doesn;t mean they want us coaching their son's little league team or overseeing the gril scout troop bake sale.

I'm glad we have puritanist bullshit, it's what makes our product sell

How could you possibly read that into my post?

No need, I believe he already does, like on the "Trump" level :)

Next year :glugglug
