Doing porn as a form of advertising

[devonhunter]

Hello - I have already shot my j/o video for Sean Cody, and I'll be flying out to San Diego the first week of June to do my first sex video. Once these are online around Tgiving/Xmas, should I use them in my own way for advertising or is that tacky?

[josephga]

I don't think its tacky those that do porn can normally command a higher rate.

Hey Devon;

Not tacky at all....it's actually (in my opinion) SMART MARKETING!

(From what I hear from my escort friends who also do porn, be prepared to "re-create" the scenes you do with your new clients!..lol)....Also, as previously stated, you CAN command a higher rate.

Good luck to you!!

All the best;

Ace

Gay Treasures was a great New York gay book/video store. One night I overheard a witty employee refer to all porn (and they had a whole bunch for sale or rent) as informercials for their escort stars. Damn I miss that place.

[devonhunter]

well then, it sounds like i should be ready with my business cards... lol

Devon--while all that stuff is nice--believe me, if your picture-avatar is accurate--guys will want to hire you without it. The porn stuff will just be icing on the cake.

 

Can you tell us what you are into--bottom/top/versatile--dominant vs affectionate--kissing yes or no?

 

Depending on your answers--I might be willing to "take one for the team" and meet with you.

PS Devon--"Take one for the team" is what the long time users of this Forum use as a euphemism for meeting with an unreviewed escort.

I don't think it is in the least bit tacky. In fact, I think it is a great way to give potential clients an opportunity to see you in action as they would if they hired you. Some guys might decide not to hire you because you made some videos. So what? They are obviously not a good fit.

take one for the team?????! bwahahahahaha i like this site already... lol lol

 

i'm completely versatile in terms of being insertive/receptive, i'm way way more affectionate than i am dominant, and enjoy kissing once i'm comfortable with you. i am not open to being hit or restrained, but i could learn to do it to someone who wants to teach me to be the active partner in that. i'm not open to bodily fluids or barebacking. ummmm, other than that, what other specifics would you (and the team) like to know?

Great answer. I could deff teach you to be a dom! hehe

[damerel]

I'd like to take one for the team as well. Is there a queue?

[uwsman2]

Devon, come to NYC and many of us will take one for the team!!!

I believe the phrase "When can you start" comes to mind.

[devonhunter]

LOL y'all know how to make a guy feel wanted... thanks for the votes of confidence.

[+ g56whiz]

I don't mean anything derogatory by it but it appears from Devon's travel schedule that's he's allergic to Yankees and it may be awhile before the "team" in New York gets its turn.

[BgMstr4u]

Devon, what name will your shoots at Sean Cody be released under? Inquiring Minds want to know!

[jackcali]

Everyone seems so supportive of your doing porn, Devon, as part of a marketing strategy, but I have to admit that I am turned off by escort ads that say that they've done porn. I'm not sure why I react negatively to it, but I think it's because I am very discreet and I want my escorts to be the same, and doing porn just seems inconsistent with that. That's not entirely logical, I know, but that's the way I feel.

[devonhunter]

thanks for the feedback jack... although it probably comes too late. i've already put it out there. whoops!

 

BG, i don't know yet what my name will be. i just did the first video 3 weeks ago, and i'm doing the 2nd one tomorrow. it takes several months for them to post videos, so i'll probably find out what my name is when the videos go live around thanksgiving or xmas.

[Guest AndrewJames]

Hey Devon- I have found that having porn out there is good marketing. Being new in the business myself, I have seen a bit of increased interest since the release of Wall Street. It gives a representation of what I do, more so than just static photos on a web advertizement. I am interested to see what people think of my 3D scene that will go live tomorrow on the DominicFord.com site.

Be careful what you wish for, Pro-Domme is much more work, and you should know a bit about the dynamics of BDSM power exchange before you lift a flogger against somebody. There is a whole vocabulary involved in keeping that kind of scene safe, sane and consensual.

[jackcali]

You're welcome, Devon. I just wanted to put a different view out there. I'm new to this board, too, and new to hiring escorts. The regulars on here seem WAY more comfortable about escorts than I am. Because of my situation (or maybe just because I'm paranoid, lol, because I'm far from anyone famous or important), discretion is very important to me and, as tangentially as doing porn affects that, it does affect my thinking.

 

But good luck, and let us know when the videos are released. And if you're in New York and looking for clients, something tells me I can get past your doing porn.

[devonhunter]

thank you, andrew - i would definitely make it clear that the person submitting would need to teach me. it's not part of my experience or repertoire. good luck with your video!!!

 

and thank you, jack - i am always happy to hear a well-rounded discussion. i'll definitely let you know if i'm in the big apple.

[Guest Chuck Ikon]

porn is great....

 

I have always been a fan of giving clients "what you see is what you get" ..not to mention the fun you can have showing off on camera!

Jack--welcome to the Message Center. I want you to know that I need to be discreet in my hiring practices too. There is no way I would want my family (I mean extended family--I am not married--so it's not like I am cheating on anyone), acquaintances, or work colleagues to know.

 

That being said--I am not sure how being with an escort who does porn is going to cause you to be "outed". Unless you are afraid that someone who does porn is going to be recognized out in public--and if you are next to him--you will be recognized too. Is that it? I don't know if this will help--but I have met several minor porn stars over the years--hmm maybe I should call them "costars". No one ever came up to us while we were together--and said--"didn't I see you in 'Tom does Toledo' by Colt Studios?"

 

I will admit that I was never with a porn star in NYC, California, or Florida--places with large gay populations--but in middle America--and we weren't going to gay Pride Events or other gay venues--so it was even less likely the escort would be recognized.

 

I don't know if that helps or not?

Thanks, Gman, for the welcome. Yes, it does sound a little crazy, but you've pretty much got my thought process down. (I did say I might be a little paranoid, lol.) Here in New York, everything is more public because of how densely we live, but what offsets that is how anonymous everything is. The problem with someone with a video profile is that they've given up some of that anonymity. Does that make sense? (Okay, so I am paranoid.) Like you, I need to be discreet for family (I've got kids, etc.) and professional reasons.

Gar1eth, next trip to New York, eat at the Dish on 8th Avenue (about 20th Street) in Chelsea a/k/a boystown. It's a Greek diner on steroids and steroids are the order of the day for some of the escorts and porn folk I see there nearly every time I go.
