| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | To: Gore Gore Girl Sorry about that. It was not meant to bum you out but sadly truth is truth. After following some of these girls, it seemed to me that there was some kind of standard "playbook" that they all used to give the impression that they're sort of "just one of the guys" if you get my meaning. Like "Here I am at the gym, the hairdressers, having lunch, playing with my dog, here's a picture of me on my morning hike up the trail." Of course once we get to the top of the trail I'll pull down my tights and show you my ass. Does it dawn on anyone that someone is taking that picture, like a BF or GF maybe? And of course, "Hey guys, my B-Day's coming up check out my AWL ha ha!!" Bottom line, the real "stars" skip the phony narrative and focus on the reason their online, advancing their careers and making money. They may share a few of their activities but mostly it's posts about their latest scenes, upcoming appearances, or other business related activities. There was a post some time ago from RobFTV about these "wish lists" and how the girl sits in her apartment with her BF/GF or her sugardaddy's place and they laugh about all the suckers out there buying her stuff hoping for a "like" or a maybe an actual "thank you." The real "stars" like Jenna, Katie, Nina, Tory and all, focused on their work, and made no excuses for it. |

| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | To: Gore Gore Girl I wasn't implying anything at all. I was simply commenting on what appears to be standard practices amongst young porn "models" when utilizing their Facebook and Twitter pages. As Facebook is more restrictive, most really hardcore stuff appears on Twitter. For whatever the reasons may be that these women have chosen this line of work, in the end it's a full time job. Women like Veronica Rodriguez for example get this and explore every avenue of revenue generation. Most girls have a life span of maybe five years before they leave the business, and most often the reasons aren't pleasant. I was not being judgemental or critical, simply relating what I and others have seen. What do I care where a girl gets her hair done, where she has lunch or what mall she hangs out in, or gets her dog groomed. I'm interested in the fantasy. Frankly, if she's having personal issues or other depressing matters, maybe she should just shut the site down and deal with those things. Isn't a person's health and welfare more important that the number of "Followers" one has? What are the chances that I'll ever actually ever meet this person or personally interact with her....none. I suggest you may want to watch the TV show "Catfish The TV Show" and see first hand how some people are manipulated and hurt by these internet "Catfish" IMO. the porn models that are successful pla it straight with their fans and don't treat them like suckers. |

| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | I would like to add this as well. Way back before the internet being a fan was a little different. Over 20 years ago I went to an X-rated theater because a porn star Amber Lynn was going to be there signing pictures and they were showing a couple of her movies. We went, bought a ticket and then met Amber paid her $10 and got a personalized photo. Later I found out that a few guys paid $200 and got some "alone time" with her in the manager's office. Back then this was a really rare opportunity as these girls usually went to the larger cities. Today, some girls do feature dancing like Veronica Rodriguez who came up here to CT two weeks ago for two nights and my friend went and said she was fantastic, and really treated her fans graciously and signed photos and of course made a bundle, a real revenue generator and a way to build a big fan base. There are some girls who haven't actually done any porn related work in a long time, like shooting scenes, dancing, and attending conventions, etc. Some may "escort" but keep it so on the down low that it's almost impossible to find out when and where, yet they seem to have a large base of loyal fans, who can be very defensive on Twitter if someone criticizes or Tweets something bad about their "star." They start to think they actually know this person and some feel they've developed a relationship with them, that's scary. Some of these girls are very good at using this to their advantage using many of the social media sites for gifts. I guess if you perform a masterbation scene and sell it on Snapchat, that's sort of porn? So what's my point? I met Derek Jeter once at a Yankee game in the Bronx, I shook his hand and got an signed picture. Does that mean I know Derek Jeter, or his life and other personal things; I think not. If you're going to be a porn star, be like Veronica Rodriguez and get out there and do the work. Don't hide behind Facebook or Twitter posting seductive BS one minute and being the "girl next door" the next. Be upfront about what you do and how you make your living. If you want attention and validation, there are better ways of doing it. |

| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | To: fanofman I think I saw that girl on Twitter asking for money for help with a medical problem, She needed $20K and had collected about $640. The photos she showed were pretty graphic. The problem with that $1000 per scene, which in some cases may be more is a "one and done" deal. They are contract workers and are simply handed a check, with no deductions taken, and of course their agent gets his 10-15% if they have an agent, lodging, meals, and air fare if they have to travel back home. Then of course there are the porn star basics, clothes, jewelry, car leases, and weed. Some have boyfriends or sugar-daddy's but they come and go. Some wind up in a small hotel studio apt. with a small kitchen and a pullout sofa bed. Like the song says, "Riding high in April, shot down in May." Even if they "escort" say in Vegas, the agency takes a cut and they still have to pay their own expenses, of course "trolling" the casinos is not "escorting" it's plain old fashioned "hooking." To: BlackSix I don't know what "Meh" means. An AWL is simply that, a "wish list." You're right, one minute it's an electric dildo for $27.95, then a lighted make-up mirror for $399.00. I can't believe some guy would spend $399.00 buying a stranger a mirror, hoping for a "like" or maybe a private DM saying thank you, but hey, that's just me. My neighbors son had a crush on a young "model" and she was into horses as was he. He sent her a pair a riding pants for $90, and after they were delivered waited two weeks to get "spoiled." When he Tweeted her and asked about them, she BLOCKED him. There's another girl out there who was a "softcore" model and then dropped out for years. She is now on Twitter. If you send her a $25 AGC, she will DM you and thanks you personally and makes you feel really good about it. If some girl has money to lease a Mercedes SUV, she can buy her own damn mirror. |
| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | Hi, After thinking about this comment, I wanted to add something. "John's" giving "sex workers" gifts is absolutely correct. When I was overseas during my career I always made it a point to give a gift to a special girl above and beyond her usual fee. There were items that were unavailable "downtown" that made wonderful gifts. many times if the girl's parent(s) were around, a little something for them was a great way to make a friend. These gifts were given in person, where you could actually see, touch, and talk to the person, not some sterile "tweet" or a DM after being allowed into the special world of being "followed" by your "porn crush." Sometimes being "followed" by her makes you even more susceptible to the hustle, because now you feel like you're in the "inner circle" Like I said, if she can afford a lease on an Mercedes SUV she can buy her own dildo's and stuff for her dog. Now if she invited me to join her for lunch in a very public place, I'd pay for the airfare and the lunch as well. :-) |

| Soundman Member 26 Posts 5/05 | I also dislike it so much when a female performer who already has amazing natural tits goes and ruins herself with breast implants. Same with any surgery that destroys beautiful natural looks. [mod edit: comment removed. See the ADT forum etiquette, 3rd paragraph.] Hairy bushes are also a bit of a turn off.

| NotMyRealName Member 487 Posts 6/13 | We had the Pay For Your Porn campaign and all the awareness that goes along with it but companies still seem to be pulling shady stuff as a matter of business. Here's what I mean: - Pre-checked cross sales > Please, we are trying to give you our money! Why do you need to rip-off those who are willing to support you? Is it really worth squeezing a few more bucks out of someone who isn't willing to complain or talk to their credit card company? Amazon is a legitimate business because they DON'T sneak stuff into your cart in hopes that you'll check-out without noticing it. If you want to be considered a legitimate business you have to cut this stuff out. - Credit card fraud > Security should be a huge deal especially after the Ashley Madison hack. Why is this still a problem? - Erratic update schedules and BTS substitutions > What other business does this? If you paid for a month or a year you should be getting that number of updates based on a number or time frame that is presented up front. There should be a distinction too for BTS scenes as updates. I like BTS and I think it's an interesting look at that world but come on... no one is paying their money so they can watch this exclusively. If you start substituting scenes with BTS you are either watering down your content for the sake of getting another membership out of someone or are late on delivering new content. Both of these actions is anti-consumer and should not continue. I realize it's tough right now with piracy and all that but don't ripoff your fans. In short, if the industry wants legitimacy it has to earn it. |
| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | To: Soundman I agree 100%. I remember in Jenna's book how she was convinced to get breast implants when she knew her breasts were OK as is, The "doctor" did a terrible job and although it seemed that the fans didn't notice, but she did and several years later had them fixed. [mod edit: no need to bring up a specific performer here] Seems the really successful girls understand the importance of maintaining good health and fitness. It's easy to succumb to the booze, drugs, and other bad behaviors that can destroy those good looks quickly. I agree that sometimes girls make cosmetic changes, even a change in hair color can be a disaster. Seems the real successful girls found a look and stayed with it Edited by - killbillvol69 on 5/31/2016 11:24:12 PM |

| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | To: Canadian_Cindy With all due respect, I get that you are supportive of these "performers" getting all they can get whenever they can get it. My comments on gifts is in my previous post. If some guy wants to give some "stranger" he believes he has a connection with on Twitter or other social media, and be "spoiled" (whatever the heck that means), or get a "like" or a "poke" or maybe even a personal DM (Whoopee!) that fine. The AWL is just that a wish list, I have a bigger problem with Snapchat where a girl sells access to her Snapchat for sometimes as much as $75, for what, a compilation of 20 second video clips that go "poof" in 24 hours. That CC is a giant rip-off. The really successful performers allow access to Snapchat for free if you purchase a membership to their sites, many also don't bother with the AWL, they don't need it. One guy a while back Tweeted a girl and asked about when he was going to get her Snapchat access as he had sent her the money. She gave him a snotty reply like, "My guess is you sent the wrong amount so I deleted it." Yeah right, she "deleted" it my butt! I repeat, if she has the money to lease a Mercedes SUV, she can buy her own dildo's or $400 lighted make-up mirror. Or she can get back to shooting scenes, dancing, etc. and being a real porn star. |

| Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09 | These performers don't get royalties, don't get retirement plans, they don't get healthcare paid for, they don't have their screening paid for, and many of them have to bring their own outfits, which they have to pay for. They have to stay in shape, and do all manner of other preparatory things to put in a good scene. They then have to deal with social stigma for the rest of their lives. I am 100% in support of their Amazon wishlists. They earned those gifts. How they handle rewards and the way in which they behave is a different issue. If you think they're rude, stop following them and reading their social media. It's simple. But don't begrudge them the additional tangible income that many fans are apparently more than willing to provide. |

| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | To" Gore Gore Girl Can I get a big Boo Hoo!!! It probably takes a young woman even with half a brain to figure out after a couple of months to realize everything you described. Yet they stay on for any number of reasons. I would suggest reading Jenna Jameson's autobiography, it addresses it all. I had the occasion to read one girls FTV Bio some time ago and it spoke volumes about how after a few months she "got tired of porn" and went home. After a few weeks she got tired of the "finger pointing and snickering" and decided to return to AZ, and from there it was "balls to the wall." IMO, what happened was that even with her limited life experience, her brain was sending her a signal telling her that maybe it was time to quit, but the lure of all that attention, celebrity, quick money and so on was too much to resist. These "actors" are not the only people in today's competitive world who have to pay their own expenses, healthcare, clothing, and the rest, all these things are also considered deductions when filing your income taxes. I've often wondered how many of these women even file their income taxes? Believe me it'll take more than a "amazing, mind-blowing" blowjob to get the IRS off your ass. taking advantage As far as the "stigma" I'm sure those same people who were "pointing fingers" 4-5 years ago, are now a little older and have grown up a bit. "People who live in glass houses....." I like people like Veronica Rodriguez and Teal Conrad for example who let their work speak for them, and are upfront with their fans. When VR feature dances like she did in CT a few weeks ago, and people bought autographed pics, or paid to have their photo taken with her, or "tipped" her, she earned that money up front. Not like some "hustler" sitting in her BF's condo or in some hotel room, playing the "poor me" one minute and then the "girl of the year" the next taking advantage of vulnerable guys. Don't worry GGG those girls are off my radar and have been BLOCKED!! |

I mean, we get it, grandpa-you've been burned by girls after buying them stuff and you're mad about it. Get over it. |

| jzalski Deactivated User 135 Posts 10/15 | OK, for the last time. 1. I do not have a low opinion of "sex workers." I have a low opinion of hustlers, cheats, and people who take advantage of others and then hide out in social media. 2. I've obviously complimented actors by name, who I thought deserved credit for their honesty and respect for their fans. 3. As far as rants go, I've read some pretty obnoxious stuff on this site, and accepted it as a person's right to free speech. 4. I have never once, not once, bought any girl a Goddamned thing off an AWL or any other list. 5. Yes, I am a Grandpa, so what. I'm proud of it. How many of you are Grandpa's or just unemployed and have the time to hang out on these sites? I earned my pensions! 6. Obviously, you dipsticks only read what you want, the topic was "things you hate about porn?" 7. To paraphrase one of you, if you don't like what I write don't read it. 8. As far as my comments on another topic regarding a particular person, I've made it clear that I follow girls on Twitter that are fun and interact with their fans, when they become boring or depressing, and I start to feel like I'm riding a roller coaster, I simply "UNFOLLOW" them. 9. If a person feels that their job is becoming too much to handle and causing them excessive grief and maybe even health or mental issues, maybe they should quit before it's too late. There are hundreds of other girls who can suck, fuck, and make a buck as good as you do. Y'all have a nice day. PS: If my comments really upset you, report me and have me shut off. |

| DannyManKing55 Member 380 Posts 7/12 | I don't know if I mentioned this before but I hate a cameraman who constantly fucks up a camera angle and shows me shit I don't need to see. Not going to point them out but there is a certain site that every time the two performers do missionary the cameraman has an unhealthy obsession with shooting right up the guys asshole or having the guys ass mostly in the shot. And when he isn't shooting the guys asshole or hole ass he has the shot focused mostly on the guys face. Edited by - DannyManKing55 on 6/1/2016 3:49:45 PM |
| Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01 | jzalski, since you continued harping on a subject in the very next post after you were asked not to, called those who don't agree with you dipsticks (another etiquette violation), ranted about your first amendment rights (another item in the etiquette), and from what I can see asked to be deactivated twice, your wish is granted. |
| A-ten Deactivated User 581 Posts 8/07 | Excessive gaping. The Mike Adriano saliva-speculum gaping is gross. Beating, choking, and spitting. I know it's a fetish for some. I tried this with a girlfriend and I don't enjoy it. I like intense sex, not violent or controlling sex. There's nothing sexy about mistreating a woman for me. I much prefer enjoying them with mutual intensity than treating a woman like some focus for violent impulses. Triple anal. So few girls can make it look enjoyable. Timea Bella is one of the only girls that make it look like she really enjoys being stretched by multiple cocks in her ass. The lack of East African women. Someone needs to start recruiting Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali women into porn, especially Ethiopian. Ethiopia has some seriously hot women. Edited by - A-ten on 6/2/2016 12:23:01 AM |
