Wouldn't this be a great idea for porn? Fans donating what they can afford to get their favourite stars to perform particular scenes? I'd like to bring some stars out of retirement or get some of my favs to say do anal or dp...thoughts? Anything like this out there? Topic Moved by - killbillvol69 on Jan 31 2013

I'm not calling you a moron but I'm calling this idea moronic.
I think the OP intended something like Kickstarter for porn. I think the idea is a pretty good one. I can think of a few scenarios that I haven't seen, but I'd pay a few bucks to see.
Fan funding isn't really a bad idea. The problem, at least as I see it, is finding enough people funding it who all want to see the exact same thing.

I guess I was specifically citing that stars would come out of retirement or do their first anal/dp/ir due to fans bidding like their some kind of auction item. But doing specific settings/fetishes/costumes, that's very logical.
If the real world operates like ADT, the (IMO) prevailing wisdom is: 1. Everything worth doing has been/is being done, and everyone loves it just the way it is, for the pornmaking machine is a well-lubed, perfectly-tuned, logical, market-aware machine. 2. If it hasn't been done, it's because nobody wants to see it (and we know this because of the perfectness of the well-lubed, perfectly-tuned, logical, market-aware pornmaking machine).
In reality I think it would be tough to get enough fans to agree. Yeah you could get a bunch to agree on a certain performer. But as the details of the scene get worked out, the support would fade fast.
Although the idea has merit. I don't think the issue is necessarly in regards to the fans so much as the company responsible for taking the money and making this happen. Here's what I mean. Let's say a company decides to do this and they pick certain performers who are willing to participate in the project and ask them the amount they need to do a specific sex act. Once you know that then all you have to do is post the total amount and then tell fans that they each have to donate at least 3$. You can donate more but the minimum is 3$. For argument sake I will say that the performer wants 25000$ for her first anal. She isn't picky about the male but you want a pro so add another 1500$ for him and then cost for equipment and what not and the final total is 30000$ That means that you need at least 10,000 people(at 3$ each) to get this done. Now here is where the problems begin. How much money does the company doing this want to make? None of them will do it for fee and nor should they. Let's say they want to make at least 10,000$. Your new amount is 40,000$ so you now need 13,000 people willing to pay 3$ upfront. Can you really get 13,000 people to donate 3$ for something they are not going to get right away? Then there's the problem that we have to trust the company when they tell us that they haven't reached the amount yet. What's to say that they decide they want 50,000$. Most website memberships are less than 20$ and you get tons of amazing content for that amount and people are still going to free porn sites. For that reason. This idea is doomed to failure.
^ In this market, I think your figures are inflated. I think it could work like an ebay type auction whereby studios put together 'packages' where they offer a performer and a scenario/act at a set price and fans could donate/contribute as much or as little as they like to make said package a reality with a cut off date by which time the scene either goes into production or fans don't pay a cent. Seems win win to me, I can't see why the studios, in the current, market would try to rip the fans off, especially if like ebay the bids were listed openly. Some of the guys here who beg and beg in the EE or Jules thread for certain scenes/performers would LOVE IT...
It would, if nothing else, give the studios a measurable idea as to how far fans are willing to put their hands in their pockets and pay for porn these days.
Sorry...one more. I figure porn is like music in that is not so much about the album as the 'killer track'. Make lots of good 'scenes/tracks' rather than lots of 'albums' that are packed with filler around the singles. Just look at album sales.
^^^Some of the guys here who beg and beg in the EE or Jules thread for certain scenes/performers would LOVE IT... I think its a great idea. For the most part it would promote favorite performers to have their own movie to do what ever they want rather than being in one scene out of 5 in the vids being filmed today. It would be a fan club for the new favorites and old vets. The performer could do a few scenes that the fans would like to see, and then invite their friends to be in some scenes with them that they would like to do...win win. The fans become part producer.
