MODS, feel free to delete if it conflicts with any rules please

Evening everyone ;)

I'm starting this thread for a few reasons. First, to bare my soul and to try not be ashamed of who i am any more, second, to see how the general public would view it and thirdly, to see if to any of you if it's even a feasible idea. Again, i don't mind humour and criticism, but understand that I am serious and am not trying to troll.

I'll even number it for you for those of you who can't be bothered to read, and I'll use my original username so that some of you who know me know that I'm being serious.

1.) For a long time i've fantasised about making pornos. Not because I want to see women naked, not because i want to star in them, not because i feel like degrading and humiliating girls, not because i am an attention whore, not to get rich, but because throughout my childhood/teenage years porn had a huge role in shaping( :p ) me into who i am today, and it's actually something i know a lot about AND feel it's the only thing I'll ever be good at. it's a fulfilling kind of thing.

2.) I know it's an industry that's frowned upon, I know it's hard and probably as realistic as dressing up like a superhero and fighting crime at night, but I've seen people do it(other countries of course) and I feel that I'm not good at many things in life, but I know what people want and are like. With my knowledge of how to market it(sites, how it's done, how the process works) I think i could even make a profit off of it and for once in my life not be dirt poor. i'm not familiar with porn in SA at all.

3.) My wife and i have different goals in life, but we support each other and can discuss anything. She said that she is happy with me doing it, her only concerns are the lifestyle(drugs, shady people, weirdos, women offering me blowjobs), what people would think if they ever found out and how my son would be affected. obviously i hope and really believe i won't fall into any of these traps as i have ways of working around these too.

4.) Obviously people do it for different reasons. Some do it to see titties, some do it for the money, some do it as it's their personality, but i feel like it's so ingrained in who i've become that there isn't much else i can do that i would ever be as good at. i've been hiding this part of me for years and have felt ashamed that it's such a big part of me, never being able to get rid of it or grow away from it. this is the best way i've felt i can deal with me not accepting who i am.

5.)
I plan on selling the stuff overseas as I know that is where the biggest market is, and have my own methods of doing it that i've learned, so i'm not too concerned how the SA public would receive it, as i plan on doing most of it online.

6.) The reason i originally wanted to write this is despite all this, i feel alone. It is a lonely industry. It's not something you advertise to everyone(i'm not going the spam root :p ), it's not something you can really ask advice on, it will probably be hard to find people willing to be models and actors in this country, i can't ask advice of filming and cameras without mentioning what it is for, and i don't know how it well be accepted by most people, besides the religious and moral.


Now, how would i ever approach people asking for help? How would i ever find the right people to ask for advice, as these are the biggest things nagging at me, that i literally have to do everything alone, the few people i do tend to meet turn out to be creeps. while i'm sure that most users are for pornography and view it, i wonder how people would react being asked if they'd like to be in a porno, where the best place to look would be and how not to come across as a dick after a stupid idea?

or is this just a stupid idea/dream?

No idea about everything else, but dreams FTW!! Someone help this man!

Or perhaps (although I have no idea how you would apply this to your specific scenario), start small (no pun intended :p). I would love to design/build PC's for a living. Well actually design/build anything really. So for now, all I could do is make my own case, so thats what I'm trying to do. Gotta start somewhere right?

i'm still spying on how your case is going, i'm just trying to pretend i don't care with you being my arch-nemesis and all :p

exactly, just start anywhere :)
 
Most people fantasize about pornos. But most people's lives have a substitute for porno. Hence their critisism of porno.
 
I'll volunteer to be an actor, so we're almost there. Now all we need is a few actresses :)
 
you'll need a diploma? that's ****ed up, i thought of doing at as amateur and selling it on my own

That's a guide to being a pro. A paid pro. If it's your money no one is going to come asking for a qualification.

The internet has killed porn dead though. Unless you're not trying to make a living off it.

I think that SA-made porn is still a bit of an untapped resource though :)

just a hobby. i don't want to go to university for 4 years just so i can tell women to get undressed and make out

hahahaha! the guys are the easy part :p i can imagine having the success rate of a jehovah's witness when it comes to asking women.

didn't we host our own reality tv show or something, become a porn star? i remember seeing an article on that somewhere

If you can find a niche, you may see a bit of payday.

I read Tera Patrick's 'The sinner takes all', a memoir of her life in porn. It's a seedy exploitative industry and even though she claimed to have done it because she enjoyed the sex I called bull****.

i've seen different sides to the industry, i know people have their own reasons for doing it, and i'd like to get hold of that book, thanks a lot.

edit: my biggest fear is creeps. you basically attract creeps looking for freebies and trying to write to the models, but i've had enough experience with that online already
 
Go to the next sexpo if you're in one of the major cities. Make contacts, get a foot in. Offer to set up a studio here in SA for one of the big names, see if they'll back you up.

was actually thinking of that, thanks. i've been hidden from sa porn as most of my experiences come from online ventures and chats

You don't need a diploma, you need to know what you're doing. Practice filming your wife if she's game. There is a market for amateur but you don't want to be rank amateur.

I've often wished I could make a living off porn but I've never really considered it for the same reasons you're giving.

It's great your wife's with you but to make a go of it she's going to have to be very with you.

If you're going to do totally your own thing you're going to want to look for keen amateurs who you can turn into stars. Not super stars, but chicks who have something special that'll make people want more. I'm sure there are plenty of chicks who would go for it if they thought they weren't going to be scammed and exploited. First off you'll need a sample product that is reasonably professional and salable. You might consider approaching high end prostitutes to star in these samples. You're going to need to be a badass salesman to pull this off though or get a badass salesman on your team. In fact you might consider finding an entrepreneur to partner up with who can handle approaching and selling. This is not marketing, this is selling your idea and dream to potential porn stars. And you need a solid presentable business plan to present to potential partners. A mock up website etc. Make potential stars (chicks, and couples where the chicks are only into having sex with their guy. Guys who'll **** in a porn are a dime a dozen I'm sure) shareholders in their own movies and shoots. Offer a relatively small retainer and a high percentage of sales.
