good to see 6 years later, Smelly Monkey is still at the top of his game.

Tom Byron has been doing this for 30 years now and has no money, doesn't ever work, shares a 1 bedroom apartment with 3 people, and is over 50 with no additional scenes on the horizon.

I am almost 40, I still have the majority of the money I have saved in the 10+ years in the biz and I am about to turn 40. There aren't as many scenes out there anymore, I only do 15 now each month instead of 25 and that number is shrinking not growing. New and younger male performers are squeezing into the game. I have been able to counteract my shrinking scene output by starting my own website and squeezing 2 grand a month out of it, plus working hard on affiliate income and making another 1500 or so. But I am working very hard just to break even with my bills.

Why on earth would I hang around until I get institutionalized in this business and can't get out? Fuck that...I am making my exit from performing as a career within the next 9 months and probably sooner. I will maybe continue to do some scenes that I enjoy doing (save it Smelly Monkey), but it won't be much.
