Reading model applications for Cocksexual.com makes me so happy that it's something I've finally decided to do, as well as glad to be making the kind of porn that I do.
In an industry where a model applications generally just ask which holes you'll put stuff in and if you're willing to fuck a black guy, how many pornographers would even want to receive model applications with so much passion about rethinking gender or the power dynamics of penetration and cocksucking?
I'm glowing! Sexy, smart perverts! And they want to work with me!
I feel lucky to get such flattering and wonderful input just two days into the project. As with when I started my menstruation site, seeing a strong interest from models really reaffirms that I've made the right choice. It's also exciting that two of my first interested models are active sex workers' rights advocates. I'm happy to be able to hire people like that so they can keep on being awesome and making the world better for all of us.
A friend of mine thinks I shouldn't paint too cheery a picture of what I do, since it irritates me when outsiders assume my work is easy and always tons of fun. But during weeks like this, I can't help but be so braggy about how great everything is.

Been around the block
My advice for new & potential sex workers
My advice for clients
- Don't haggle, don't expect services not promised, don't give us unwanted "business advice"
- Get your money's worth: give us feedback so we know what you want
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
- Don't you dare lecture sex workers with how you, an outsider, think we ought to feel about our lives
- Never be afraid to speak up for what's right, even if it's socially untoward to do so

Actually -- cheerful or otherwise, the material you put on the page around here is genuinely fascinating, from my viewpoint.
I've known a few workers in the sex industry, mostly back when they were college lasses doing the stripper thing for a buck. And it was always interesting to see the contrast between the highly intelligent, interesting, motivated women I knew and the shallow-end bottom-feeders that ran the clubs and so forth. (Not to even bother mentioning the clientele...)
So even the idea that someone could be approaching the industry from the standpoint of intelligence and reasonable ethics is -- absolutely fascinating. I wish you all the very best with your ventures, and I'll be keeping an eye on this blog simply out of ongoing curiosity. It would be marvellous to think that someone could really turn a buck on smart, ethical behaviour inside porn.
