Toby, you don't seem to get it. Dude, I am retired. I do this whole fucking thing for amusement and a shit pot of money. But it is not real work. That is over for me. Now I travel. Shoot pictures of girls. Walk in the mountains four times a week. Drive my Porsche. And............here is the kicker, argue with guys like you. You cannot win. And if you think this is bullshit, you are very, very wrong.
Oh yeah, and I have a lot of sex...but that is just a diversion.

So it was amazing. Summer apples, warm night, sitting on the deck watching the boats in the harbour and the girls on the beach. Nice bottle of wine...life is good. Oh and one more thing.....its time for...

I love wine and cheese and I don't have a big bad character. Why do you ask? I am just a normal porn guy who spends more time in front of a keyboard than most. Hell, you think I am strange, you guys ain't so freeking normal. Consider what we do for a living. It isn't normal.

Ahhh, Now you see man? It's that exact attitude and with that type of mentality, and comments that the adult industry is looked at the way it is rhetorical. You are probably just as unstable and unsure about your business ventures in the adult world. I mean WTF is it thats not fucking normal man????

It will always be looked on that way. Some things will never change. If we become respectable, we will lose money.

I am very sure about my business. Like I said before, when you can discuss your work with Aunt Edna over a Sunday roast, then it will be normal, until then, it will remain edgy at best. I worked in film and television for many years and it is full of pretty whacky and seriously deviant people who will rip you off faster than Russ Meyer trailer, but this business has a way higher percentage of crooks and rounders. So no, it is no freeking normal.

As an aside...

One of the few times I was able to get in a word edgewise without the tweaker from Xtube interupting with his 10 months of business knowledge...

The question was asked "Do you think porn and mainstream will converge?"

My answer was I dont want it to. At least not totally. The taboo aspect of this business is one of the many factors that makes it sell so well.

We can have a little titlating taboo and still retain ethics cant we?

sorry that you feel what you do is not normal, my life is pretty average, the only difference between me and the guy two doors down from me is that I put up links to a few sex sites every now and then, and occasionally watermark a sex vid

the TRUE difference between me and him though, is that I am labeling porn instead of just watching it like him

i guarantee you, you walk into any other guys house my age and you will find just as much porn somewhere in that house as I have here, the only difference is, I am trying to sell it to him, while he is just set out to watch it

the reason I think you are strange is because you look for any and every chance to stand above someone and make them feel small, that signifies a definite craving for attention that is just a little strange in my book, but I guess we were all raised different

OK, so you sell dirty pictures for a living and you think that is "normal"? I would guess you are a very small minority most of whom post on these boards. As for your psychoanalysis, I gotta say your qualifications most likely do not match your opinion. You might consider reading a little. This should get you started in your new "mainstream" career:

"Kohut refers to a patient whose personality disturbance was marked by a vertical split in his personality. One fragment was characterized by a sense of superiority and messianic identification; this result from a merger with his mother, who had idealized him and encouraged his grandiosity. In Jung’s terms, these contents represent a split-off complex, unintegrated with the rest of the personality. He is particularly concerned with the need to achieve the wholeness of the personality, which requires the integration of material split off from the totality of the person’s self"

You see, now that is impressive. Trumps "standing above" someone, dontcha know.

yes, I think selling "dirty pictures" is pretty normal in my world....it is literally one step up from looking at that, which is what millions of people do every day.

think of it this way, my buddies get porn all the time from the internet and they email it to each other....what do I do? I take it one small step up and instead of me getting it and emailing it, I get it and tell people I have it and they actually pay me to look at it.....pretty normal

let's see...I am a blue/pink haired punk covered in tattoos that wakes up at 5-6pm every day and on weekends gets so fucked up from partying that he doesn't know his own name sometimes and is usually up for 2-3 days straight with at least 4-5 friends

so, in comparison, selling porn is pretty normal to me

Glad to know we're all here for your personal amusement.

Just to be clear, what we've been doing this evening doesn't fit my definition of arguing. That was my whole point. You never really debate anything of substance. But hey, if you want to call that winning then here's your trophy.
