Thank you for your extremely detailed reply, Thomas. It makes a nice change to get that level of feedback. Thanks. Weirdly I had to put the price up to $19.95 in order to make sales. I keep trying lower prices but it always kills my sales. I tried $11.95 once but that was a total disaster. It always seems funny that I am a one-man operation trying to run a very niche site, but there isn't exactly a different market to operate in. Everyone gets compared to the big guys with offices, employees etc. I really try to offer something different, but often in reviews I get attacked for just that. StripGameCentral has moved from photos over to a much greater proportion of videos in recent months, but I'm not about to let go of photos yet. My other main site (A Measure of Curiosity) is still predominantly photo-based but I fully expect that to change as time goes on. Again, thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated.

But that would seriously damage the exchange rate with the Euro - I want the Pound as high as possible against the Euro. Sorry if I oversimplified the situation - I wasn't trying to enter into a serious discussion of international markets and currency influences. Certainly no offence was intended.

So far I've resisted putting the price of StripGameCentral.com up (Still $19.95 for month 1 then $8.95 each month from then on), but to be honest that's only been possible because the US Dollar has recovered some value in the past year or so, otherwise with higher running costs I would have been forced to charge more. Watch out though, if Obama messes up and the US Dollar drops like it did under Bush then all my sites will be getting more expensive. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

The last study into that I read said that athletes who had sex just before a competition performed better than those who didn't. Apparently they felt more confident and more relaxed and that made them perform slightly better. I suspect overall it depends on the individual, and possibly the sport. Prolonged, vigorous sex probably isn't to be recommended before physical activity, but a quickie, maybe that can have a positive effect? Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

I've spent huge amounts of effort trying to get members to maintain continuous memberships instead of buying occasional single months. Initially offering lots of features which could not be enjoyed properly offline. Then I found that having a considerable disparity between the first month and recurring months helps even more - so StripGameCentral.com's recurring membership is a mere fraction of the first month. Otherwise the loyal members who maintain recurring memberships end up paying more for the same content than those who signup 3-4 times a year. It wouldn't be fair on loyal members to let them suffer and it's certainly not good for the site. I suspect this is why many sites find the pay-per-video/set model is very appealing as it gets around this problem completely. I've just realised that the membership prices given on SGC's review here are badly out of date - I need to get that updated. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

I did a calendar for StripGameCentral.com a few years ago which I offered to the public via Lulu. I didn't know if anyone would buy something like that so it was something of an experiment. It sold a few copies but not enough to make it worth putting another one together the following year. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

My main site (StripGameCentral.com) already allows non-members to purchase individual videos without buying a membership. It's been moderately successful but there's no way I could operate like that if the costs of the videos were not already covered by subscriptions to SGC first. As MistressKent pointed out at the start of this thread, the market for that sort of buying simply isn't large enough to cover production costs. I do it mainly as a way to attract new members to join the site, even then my minimum prices for shorter videos rarely go below $3. I've wondered about providing photosets via the same system but have never been sufficiently convinced that it is worth the work. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

I usually use the more mainstream definition. If she does it as a career (ie it's her main source of income) then she's not amateur. If she does it to earn some extra money as an occasional thing then she's amateur. Models who do 3-4 shoots a month I would never be inclined to call anything more than amateurs. Models who do 3-4 shoots a week shouldn't call themselves amateur. There's also a difference between amateur style and amateur models. There's no reason why pro models can't do an amateur style photoshoot, but it would be wrong to say they are themselves amateur. It's one of those phrases like IT and MILF which have completely lost any meaning due to overuse and misuse. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

Just a comment on zipfiles. I tried offering a choice of zipfiles for photosets, each offering a different resolution and less than 2% of users downloaded anything other than the maximum resolution. In the meantime it was taking more time for me to produce (and upload) and wasting loads of space on the server. Oh and custom zipfiles are a nightmare - many users get confused so it increases the amount of customer support work greatly, and it's very heavy on the server. I wholeheartedly agree with your comments on photosets telling a story and needing some selection by the webmaster (I spend a huge amount of time working on that).

Oh how I wish! (Actually, not really!) I usually start work about 9:30am and work through until about 3pm, then I start again around 7pm and work until about 1-2am. I don't work those hours every day of the week, but probably about 5-6 days. On the other day or two I usually put in around 6-8 hours. The big plus is freedom - if I want to stop at 11am and have a 3 hour lunch break I can. I spend more time with my family than I ever did when working in an office, I don't have a boss and there's no dress code. I hated working in an office environment so this suits me fine.

Under that system there could not be any adult sites on your island as everyone on the mainland would probably have the same problem with it as you are having with sites on the mainland. There always seems to be oversights like this. I remember when lots of websites wouldn't let you register with an e-mail address ending in .co.uk because it "wasn't a valid e-mail address"!

I usually use whatever stage name the model is using currently (some require that as part of the release so I get no choice!). I know a few models who have changed their stage name several times, and I know other models who don't care and tell me to just make something up. Within my sites each model's name is constant, but I cannot control (or even reliably find out) what names she has used in the past or been called on other sites. If she has modelled for a content producer then she probably won't know what names her photos have appeared under previously. I don't see any solution. The best we can hope for is to persuade models to pick a name at the very start of their career and stick to it, but if they cannot be relied on then what can webmasters do?

Going back to the start of this thread, the concept of an 18 year old virgin made me laugh. I don't know about the US but here most people lose their virginity around 14-15, but even if she had waited until she was legal - why wait for another 2 years until she was 18 and then appear in a porn film. You can only take suspension of disbelief so far. Maybe that's why the repeated mentions of her age. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

Many years ago (for a short time) I tried split updates, but I would interleave them with other updates. Each week you would get another 25% of each of 3 photosets. It wasn't to eke out stock, but to ensure that when users cancelled their membership they would always miss the end of a couple of sets. It seemed like a good way to keep people hooked but in practice I found it very confusing to work with and, as I wrote captions for each photo, it made updates very disjointed to work on. Also it didn't seem to have much effect on memberships. When I made the chance back to posting complete updates, I included in on my list of site features ever since.

I always find the best two weeks for sales are the last week and the first. The middle two are almost always much weaker. That definitely correlates better with paydays than moon phases. The main time it doesn't hold up is the last week of November and first week of December, but that just proves that Christmas shopping overpowers the payday effect!

For video format, I've had the least problems (or at least my customers have had the least problems, so I've had the least customer support to do) with MP4. Had very mixed results with WMV. One thing to bear in mind is that you really cannot please everyone. If you offer just one format, some people won't be able to play it - if you offer a range, some people will get confused and think each version is a different video or think all files are needed before you can play the video. There's also the site space consideration, but that's not something users are going to worry about! Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

I know I'm not strictly a "user", but I thought this might help: I've had a big debate very recently with my users over photo size. I use 2048 pixels as my maximum size (but they can be viewed on site at smaller sizes). The consensus seems to be that 2048 is more than enough, extremely few members want more than that. Most people seem to like photos which are no bigger than their monitor and a lot of members are still on screens of 1280-1440 pixels width.

What you describe sounds like something from 50+ years ago to me. Most people here (UK) don't care what someone 2 doors down the street is up to. Most people in a neighbourhood won't know or really care what their neighbours are up to as long as they aren't being antisocial or rude. A few months ago there was a British guy in the news because he was doing porn shoots in his house. A neighbour found out, took offence and staged a protest (with other neighbours) outside his house. The victim called the police and they told the protesters to finish their protest and move on because he was not breaking any laws or being antisocial. The "bible belt" sounds like another world!

Often it's the old "Time is money" thing. The models etc. are usually paid by the hour. If you have to reshoot something because the cameraman messed up the camera positioning or some background noise happened then it quickly piles on extra expense. Some people don't care, some just don't have the resources to fix it. The market is still tough and I know of a lot of producers who are struggling to survive as it is. Spending more money making the content could push them under. In reply to slutty, I sometimes post bloopers (just the funny things which went wrong) from shoots on my website but just as an extra freebie for any members who are interested.

I agree too, BUT on any panel shouldn't you allow both people who are for something (ie women's rights) and people who are against it, to get a representative range of views on a subject? Whilst I firmly believe that women should have equal rights, I also believe that the UN should be a democratic organisation. It's a tricky situation. It's rather like I hate the existence of the BNP political party here in the UK (their views and aims are scary) BUT in a democracy people should be free to stand for election, and everyone else should be free to vote for them. In that sense their views (providing they are legal) are irrelevant. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

It's probably safer to refer to age ranges rather than using terms like MILF. It's like the term "granny". If someone advertised granny porn (which sounds scary to me!) then I would expect the women shown to be 50+, 60+, but there's a girl who lives in my area who is 27 and she's a grandmother (Both she and her daughter had their first child at 13 - Do they count as MILFs?)! Her mum is only in her mid 40s and she's a great-grandmother. The word becomes meaningless - we should stick to ages. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

A lot of my customers do seem to care very much about the realism and believability of the scenarios, but it is very difficult to do scenes on location in a realistic way. Of course with consumers constantly wanting to see something different and new there are bound to be some attempts at stuff which should just have been avoided in the first place. The question is: If you can't do it believably, should you do it at all? I would say no, but I've heard a lot of people who disagree with me.

Porn has frequently been the driving force pushing the technology forward. I've often heard experts say that video streaming over the web initially only caught on because of porn, otherwise the technology would have never received the huge level of development which lead to what we have today. Adult sites were routinely streaming video before Hollywood got in on the act. Porn users are usually the ones demanding better picture quality, HD video etc. The porn industry isn't just bigger than Harry Potter, it's bigger than Hollywood. It's estimated that the porn industry grossed $60 billion in 2009 (with the US making up almost 25% of that!), whereas Hollywood grossed about $10-15 billion (depending on who's figures you use).

Looks like we need an adult site equivalent of IMDB.com Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

That post title had me worried, sounded like some sort of creepy site to tell you where they are minute-by-minute so you can pop out of the shrubbery and demand an autograph.  Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |

Seriously?! My more recent experience is that Americans treat British people as citizens of a third-world country who should be treated as inferior. Maybe I've just had a few bad experiences. I somehow offended an American recently by using the word "toilet". It's a word we see printed on signs everywhere, so I'm not sure where the offence is in that? I think a lot of people are scarily unaware of how different other countries can be and how easily offence can be caused. A few years ago the Japanese Embassy in Paris opened an informal clinic to calm Japanese people visiting Paris who were badly shocked by how impolite and rude the Parisians are.

Most of the East European models really don't seem to care what they are called. But they often have names which sounds unpleasant to us in the west so websites pick something more appealing. Without any knowledge of what sites she has previously appeared on (she quite often won't know as her videos/photos have been sold on by content suppliers) there's no way of maintaining continuity.

I know several models who occasionally change their stage name. Often they say that they got bored of that "character" so they change their hairstyle and pick another name. It's annoying, but I guess they are not bothered about brand building. Also some models didn't choose a stage name when they started out and just let the sites they worked for pick something. Later on they took more control themselves and choose something else, but from then on you can find them appearing under different names. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity. | |
