Cool The sex business today

Hello again Dani,

Let me draw your attention to some 2017 documentaries on the sex-centric trades of today, viewing which I hope will prove of practical and psychological advantage to you.

First is Netflix's 6-part Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On. The first episode is about women producing video porn, and features two famous veterans, Spain-based, Swedish-born Erica Lust and America's Holly Randall, daughter of pioneer UK-born pornographer Suze Randall. Holly describes the increasing financial stress in the industry and her attempts to decrease production costs to remain in business. I also recommend Holly's Playboy TV series called Adult Film School, each of whose episodes follows the process of producing a professional sex tape for some lucky amateur couple. If the day comes it no longer makes sense for you to star in the porn you create, I think there might well always be a market for respected professionals to help amateurs star in their own private porn, much as we still hire videographers to documents weddings, and so on.

And speaking of Playboy TV, within the last year I ran across their series eRotic, first aired in 2009, episode 5 of which covers FTV Girls and features LOTS of footage of a then-new model named Danielle! I think you probably know her. Remind her that Playboy is one of the most FAMOUS brands in the WORLD and that she should DEFINITELY write something like the following on her Web site home page in prominent text:


Danielle was featured in the Playboy TV
series eRotic, which boasts it covers only
"the sexiest sites on the World Wide Web"!


Not one in a THOUSAND porn players can make a claim like that! Better yet, with the leave of the rights holder, she should link a short (e.g. 10 second) clip of her appearance on this show (channel logo visible) as manifest evidence to first-time visitors to her site.

Perhaps you'd like to watch other episodes of the Netflix series as well, as they document other sex industry jobs, including the example of a young woman who counsels porn newbies (such as one who just so happens to have shot for FTV too, although that goes unmentioned.)

And you might want to try finding the fourth episode of a five-part 2017 BBC Three series on sex in Britain today, titled Sex Map of Britain. That episode deals in detail with the business of Brits making porn and doing cam work, profiling two different young women.

Another interesting program ran this year on BBC radio titled Romania's Webcam Boom. Listen to it here. This program is interesting because it quantifies many things about the business today.

By the way, there was a type of live erotic show analogous to Web camming long before the Internet era, about which you may not be aware. It was a theater in which one performed on a frontless stage, surrounded by private booths with protective windows which were shuttered opaque when a timer ran out. Customers in such booths could feed a coin slot to keep their window open as long as they desired, and could "attend to their personal business" without putting on their own show for the other customers watching the professional performance. A couple of years before you were born, Madonna released a music video set in such a fictional establishment; watch it here.


Let me close by pointing you at an article profiling the porn business in recent years which appeared in the venerable British financial journal The Economist. As you doubtless already know, this is a time of wrenching changes and I hope that reading the piece will let you feel you are not alone in trying to deal with them. Find it here. Best of luck with your future enterprises!
