Why Some Whores Fail
"The industry is set up to squeeze each fresh face like an orange until all the juice is gone and then dump that bitch for the next one."
Mike Grace of Creamer Media writes: Recent events have come to pass which I struggled with immensely, prompting me to write this web log.
We have a country of some 350+ million people, about half of which are women, about 2/3 of which are of age, of which around 1/10 are attractive, of which about 1/100 will go into the adult business.
Do the math and you have about 115,500 women who would be willing to explore the adult business. A business, mind you, which falls top 5 worldwide in terms of gross capital and economic growth (the industry has grown over 1000-fold since the birth of Playboy in Nov of '53).
Having said that, and acknowledging the vast amounts of cash flowing through the industry, why do so many girls fall out as quickly as they come up? And why do many never seize their full pecuniary potential? These questions will be examined, along with others of interest, in the following paragraphs.
First, we have to address the underlining concern in the industry, which is instability of the psyche. What I mean by that is many people in the business come from backgrounds and enviroments that are, well, fucked up. Most often, abuse and drugs are all too commonplace at home, which is no wonder why people would cling to what they know and go into a field that offers similar circumstances.
Second, we have to come to the sad conclusion that the Age of Enlightenment is all but dead. Employing reason as a means of gaining authoritative logic has ceased to exist. Instead, we have replaced fountains of knowledge with glitz, glamour and bling. No longer does being one of mental certitude engender you to the masses. Rather, America's biggest export is celebrity, something that has swallowed whole all remnants of worthy existence. In one large gulp, MTV, E!, VH1, the internet, grocery store ragmags and a few other incestuous sources have eaten what few ties we had to the AoE (Age of Enlightenment) and shit out this foul smelling swill that we call "Pop Culture".
Now this isn't to say that there is no hope for mankind, although said hope is waning for sure, but just look at "famous" people in our past and compare that to now. Who we remember in our past shows quite a bit about where we were as a culture. The fact that people like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison are names associated with our history makes me feel proud to be an American. True inventors and pushers of progress. Next century, however, who will we be speaking of? Fat, hillbilly Britney Spears? Whatever queer won American Idol? The mere fact that we, as a culture, would rather be famous than iconic is disturbing and all-together tragic. This notion that being involved in fame, being a part of celebrity, is something of value, has taken what was once the most powerful nation in the world and made us somewhat of a joke, and us the jesters.
This topic has other branches to explore, but let's just stick to the adult biz and see how it pertains to that. Now looking at the issue, it seems rather demonstratively easy to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Take an abused girl from a tough upbringing, give her the comfortability of familiar surroundings, show her pseudo-fame/glam/glitz/celeb, and it's not hard to see why many girls would snuggle up to the life like a warm blanket. The tougher question becomes why do they most often fail to grasp their monetary potential? This is a bit harder to explain.
We must 1st admit to ourselves that most people are, frankly, imbecilic. The level of general stupidity in our country is to a point where 7/10 people aged 18-24 could give last years Americal Idol winner yet only 3/10 could name our Vice President (and isn't it ironic that this survey was done by MTV, a purveyor of trite regurgitation?).
Given that our schools are a sham, the flowerpower generation that most call Ma&Pa are equally burnt out and idiotic, the value of knowledge has plummeted, and we place almost no emphasis on mental growth and stimuation, it doesn't take a Mensa member to see why we're this dumb. What bothers me is why more people aren't up in arms about it. However, once again, that is a branching topic we needn't explore here. Back to the matter at hand, people are stupid, and this stupidity, along with greed and self-indulgence are, I believe, the main culprits behind why many whores struggle to succeed.
To grasp a business model, meaning to understand how it is that one can achieve their potential in the marketplace, takes some consideration. You have to think, plan, delevop, promote and maintain. One would have to study competition and bottom-lines to see what is selling and what is not. You also have to be ahead of the curve in many situations if you wish to stand out from the rest. This takes creative thinking and somewhat abstract thought processes, as coming up with ideas that have yet to see the light of day can be daunting.
Besides the fact that many girls in the industry fail to realize this, there's also the unfortunate fact that even with enlightenment there can be obstacles... such as commitment. You see, building your brand to the point of respectability and financial freedom takes time. There is no instant solution. We live in a NOW culture where if needs aren't met instantaneously, they are often thrown to the side for the next indulgence. This sort of short-sighted, small-minded mentality plagues the industry like none other. Yet, once again, it's easy to see why.
Let me put myself in a porn girl's shoes. Ok, so here I am. I am 18, completely ignorant, ready to make money. I post an ad on some site saying I am looking for work and BAM! A million emails and phone calls shoot my way. So I am at this point overwhelmed, totally google-eyed, and I have no way of deciphering the bullshit from the real deals.
Like most proletariats I am looking for something I can hang my hat on, meaning a company I know or names I've heard of or an agency I can call home. Someone throws out Hustler or Playboy or says they're with such & such agency and, like the moron I am, I bite.
Six months later I am overshot, overexposed, walking bowlegged with a sore ass, and I have little to no money to show for it as I spent it all on whatever the fuck.
How did I get to this place?
Well, simple. The industry is set up to squeeze each fresh face like an orange until all the juice is gone and then dump that bitch for the next one. My agent told me to shoot interracial gangbangs and double vag since he gets more money for that, but like a dolt I figured he was telling me what was best for me, so I went with it. Now I have busted down beef curtains for a pussy and my potential has taken a massive shit on itself. Ouch.
Along the way, if I was more wise to the game, I might have listened to the people who were telling me to keep my shit exclusive to my brand and build around myself with good people surrounding and supporting me. Then again, there is no glitz with that. No glam of which to speak. It's a business at that point, and who wants that? I'd rather be seen at some party with douchebags the legitimate world doesn't acknowledge so I can attempt to fill the void left in my life by unaccepting parents or a boyfriend that dumped me or uncle touchy-feely or my desire for fame or whatever other excuse I can muster.
This pathetic and unseemly form of decadence is exactly why I find it difficult to respect most people in the business, especially the girls. At least many of the men in the biz are taking advantage of the opportunities presented to them, no matter how unscrupulous they may be. Idiocy and skullduggery are none too appealing.
So why am I in the business, you might ask? Well, several reasons.
First, I love sex. It's a basic need and something I take seriously (did you know that the average male lasts 3min!!?? What a bunch of useless tools!).
Second, I love money. Everyone needs to make it and why not make it doing something I love where I can make plenty?
Third, I am lazy. Actual work takes far too much effort and I cannot justify diminishing myself with menial labor.
Lastly, and this may surprise you, but I love women. I was raised by my mom, an only child, as an only child, so we really only had each other. This bond has stuck with me and I have an inherent desire to help women. Extremely rare in the industry, and something I get almost no credit for. The struggle in this is that most girls in the business are so blind to the game that it's like trying to teach physics to a 4th grader... They simply have no comprehension. Hopefully, in time, I will change this a bit.
To conclude this rather lengthy rant, let me say this: IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED, YOU MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND. This is to say that for ALL the girls out there who want to make it in this industry, you'll have to put down your tits and pick up your brain for a while so you actually understand the business of your choosing. I've done my homework, studied the best avenues of generating revenue, and I can say with the utmost of confidence that EXCLUSIVE BRANDING is the key to pinnacle success.
So why do whores struggle to succeed? Simply put, this concept eludes them. All other reasons are secondary, although they do play a role, to girls failing to grasp this concept. For enlightenment or explanation, questions or comments, please contact me.
