here’s an interview i did for a paper i’ll tell you of later when it’s published.

What have your experiences been with internet sex-related work?

i was an online “model” for ten months, which means i had a curtained off little room with a bed and computer and remote webcam that i controlled and chatted to lonely persons wearing my underwear, they weren’t wearing my underwear, i was wearing it, and my job was to entice them to take me private, which is buying minutes to have me to themselves for whatever chunk of time they wanted and then they could call in and talk to me and then we would phonesex and they could watch me do my thing, my skin is crawling as i type this right now hahaha.

Is/was online modeling/performing a lucrative business?

yes it was and i imagine still is for the company and the independent contractor, if you work at it.

What measures have you taken in order to market yourself to those who watch you online or read your blog? How did you set yourself apart from others in the same position?

a lot of people like to give me shit and say oh yeah you bloggers and that’s so easy etc, and yeah sure it is, but the thing that sets you apart from the others is your personality and style, how i am on my blog is just a carry-over from how i am in real life, it’s not rocket science, if you are interesting to begin with it will obviously be the same in internet-form. i rely on word-of-mouth as marketing measures, i’m pretty lazy and have been told multiple times that if i did this, or if i did that, the potential goldmine i’m sitting on would whatever blah bla blah. if something is good then it catches on, if it isn’t then it dies. i’ve been doing this since 2000 and people still care for some reason.

How much control do performers/models have when it comes to sex-based entertainment online? What are the pros and cons of freelancing vs. working for somebody?

based on my experience from watching the four different half hour reality porn shows that are on showcase every friday nite i have learned that it is good to be working for someone because like living in a condo or something if something’s broke it gets fixed, if you’re on your own then you have to do it yourself. why do i sound like an irish plumber right now? the con of working for someone is you have to do as you’re told and if you don’t go by the rules you’re out of there, the pro is more exposure and money.

Are spectators generally respectful? Have you ever felt threatened/disgusted/etc. by someone who watched you online, and could you share any interesting experiences you’ve had interacting with “the viewers at home?”

i don’t know if you mean my blog or when i was modelling. generally people are respectful, there are many “flamers” too and stalkers, i have felt threatened sure, i try and watch how i deal with people sometimes you can smell the crazy right from the start while others it can be someone you’ve chatted with here and there for years and then one day out of nowhere the crazy comes out and you’re like oh great they know all my secrets. you have to be careful.

Was it easier to capture peoples’ attention when you began your internet presence as opposed to now? Has internet work, sex-based and otherwise, changed much since you started? And what are your future plans as far as that goes?

in the beginning there was less of a blogging community so less readers, now more people are turning to the internet to pass time so it’s easier. nothing’s really changed other than the emergance of celebrity gossip blog/sites, we are hugely “fascinated” by celebrity more than ever before because of the speedy access of entertainment media the internet gives us. my future plan, well pipedream really, is to be more shallow and exploited and be on one of those ridiculous gossip blogs, i know, sad.
