Misconceptions about the Biz
 

I was talking with some friends, and started on this list. I am sure others can add to it. But the general public's view on us goes something like this..

If you are in the porn biz..

-You are not rolling with Heff, and hanging out at the Playboy mansion.

-You are not trying to hijack their browserrs 24/7 and trying to steal their credit card info.

- You do not hang out with centerfolds and rockstars 24/7, nor do they all know you on a first name basis.

- You cannot get them access to any porn site of their choosing, or know the owner on a first name basis to get "da hook up".

-You do not walk into every bar, club, restraunt, shopping mall flipping out business cards and offering to make "her" the "next pornstar".

-You are not fucking your models.

-Not everyone in this business is making phat bank, rolling with showties, sippin on fowties, and think they are legalize pimp juice.

Those are just a few I remembered off the top of my head. Add yours.

This should be good.

:pimp

I think XXXJay would beg to differ :)

Well there are a few people who get these perks, but the problem, atleast with people I meet, and talk with outside of the biz. Friends included, is that ALL OF US can do the above and more.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Not me personally, but... Ask around.
Again, not me personally but...

See last two replies.
I could, but I won't. This is a business.
No, my wife does that part.
That's my wife's department too. :1orglaugh

When I get my Jaguar, I'll post a pic. Until then assume I'm still working hard for a living.

:pimp :pimp

And we're not horny all the time...

I've never met Hef but I've been to the Playboy Mansion (for lunch). And I'm meeting with Christie Hefner on Wednesday.

I do have a Hef bobble head on my desk.

Oh yeah, three other classics.

-I sit around in my underwear all day.

-We work for a max. of two hours then go back to video games.

-No matter the pornstar's name.. Tiffany what's her name, Sophie you know that blonde,.. we are supposed to know who they are talking about.


:disgust

how about this one..

Every female that works IN porn IS porn/content.

retards.

the CP connection, and lifestyle misconception.

sit around whacking off to porn all day

Well I'm getting out of this business then! LOL.

Well WiredGuy, I'll have to ask the hub but we could make an exception just for YOU :)

very true...

:winkwink: :winkwink: :winkwink:

Your speaking for yourself on that one :1orglaugh

something i find hard to believe :1orglaugh

your title makes no sense...are these misconceptions or PROPER conceptions???

That I'm into beast and scat...

wtf are showties?

This biz is anything but fun or glamorous...


Once ya really are in it...

You are pretty much fucked, count on barely getting by and being broke.

Odd's of you making it in this biz is worse than the odd's of being a rockstar.
Its not impossible to be succesful but ya better have a "thing" or really good plan.

Ya can code pages day in day out and phoom 5 years later you are still no further than when ya started. Its great side income for a college student or novalty side hobby for those with a few bucks already in there pocket.

Beyond that Porn biz is broke, get used to being ripped off constantly, get used to people talking shit about you...
Thats the facts...

Another fact is that if you come out to these miserable boards be ready to be raped and scrutinised. Of course also privatly attacked by competitor's and predator's that use this biz to rob you.
Ya will have your server attacked, your personnal life attacked and every move ya make will be under extreme scrutiny by not only the peer's of this industry waiting to copy you but by the government itself that does not have much of a liking for Pr0N.

So there ya go Noobs...

Thats Biz in a hand basket here and I bet you can't wait to get started.

its in your blood to go the hard way, you have always succeeded in what ever ya did.

Welcome to porn!

The challenge of your life is before you and that endeavor will never be filled, or likely successful in the least. Ya truly are better off doing about anything else and that includes working at Mc Donalds.

so true...

any more yet?

all of the above are true for me. I'm not a computer geek.:1orglaugh

You mean that isn't true for yourself? Underwear and videogames is why I got into this biz. :upsidedow

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No I get dressed at some point in the day. As for video games, I stopped playing the WOW, and EQ when I got into this full time.

EQ gold & plat doesn't pay da bills.

:winkwink:
