In the last few months, I've been thinking a lot about how, at 25, I ought to think a bit more about long-term financial planning. I already accomplished buying my first condo, which is a great investment, but I'd like to get better at money in general. Part of it is getting older, and part of it is that the recession has carved a good chunk out of my normal sales. (One's porno subscriptions tend to be first on the chopping block if you're looking to save money. Condom, lube, and toy sales, though- doing just fine!) I'd been thinking about taking my savings and investing in a mainstream-ish business venture. I met with a guy at my bank to ask about some options, which was terribly dull, and anything not very risky would make me a grand total of enough to buy a decent bottle of wine once a year.
There's also one more porn site I've been wanting to start for a while, and after a lot of thought about what to do with my money, I've decided to take the plunge and go for it. Ultimately, it's a gamble in a country with its economy in the toilet, but making pornography fulfills me better than other options. It's a very reassuring and exciting thing to look at my career of the last 7 years and say, "Yes, this is the right path for me. I want to keep on going further!"
The project? A pansexual strapon site! I don't think there's any truly great strapon web content that caters to everyone, and I want to fill that niche. (With my cock! Ba-dum-cha!)

Most straight strapon porn is femdom/BDSM/humilation-themed, like Men In Pain - which is hot, of course, but not everyone who likes seeing men get pegged is also into domination and pain. There's some other hetero strapon porn out there, but it generally has that cheesy mainstream jizz biz vibe that I find decidedly unsexual. Now, dyke-for-dyke porn, like Crash Pad stuff? They understand hot fucking with non-biological cocks!
I want to make a site that is enjoyable by all sorts of people- whether you're straight, queer, or in-between. Enjoyable by people like me. I just love seeing women with their cocks, and I also love the potential for playing with typical images of masculinity and gender.
I had originally been thinking about how I wanted to find a couple of photographers to shoot photos for the site. I admit, I'm nothing that special behind the camera, and I was thinking that farming out that part of the job would get both the best shots and save me time. But, after more thought, I'll actually save money traveling to shoot the photos myself, and I will become a better photographer myself in the process. (My father once asked me about some other project, in an exasperated tone, "Why do you always have to go about doing everything in the most difficult way possible?!" Because that's just how I roll, pops.)
I'm slating my tentative launch date for February 2010. I'll be making visits to 3 different major US cities in November and December to shoot content - DC, New York City, and San Francisco - so if you're near one of those places and interested, check out the site's casting call page. I will also be accepting submissions from remote models who are capable of producing high-quality images- so if you're having with a decent camera and want to show me your sexy self, I encourage you to apply as well.

My advice for friends, family, acquaintances, & allies of sex workers
- Don't act as though our life experiences are invalidated because we haven't read such-and-such feminist book
- Don't ask us questions about how to get into sex work because you imagine it's easy
- Don't be all awkward and creepy when you discover that we're a sex worker
- Don't talk to us as though we're spoiled brats who don't have real jobs
