I've announced what I believe to be a first-of-a-kind event: my 2015 Live Sex U.S. Tour:
http://blog.manpuppy.com/
In a nutshell, I've been doing Male-Male Couple shows on Cam4 for quite a while, and finding reliable talent to join me in Tampa Bay has been frustrating. I've chatted with several other performers who would love to join me, but are hundreds or thousands of miles away. So, I thought, what if I shacked up in some other town with a higher population of gay cam & porn stars, like Orlando or Ft Lauderdale, took a working vacation somewhere?
That thought lead to a business plan where I can actually support going from town to town to visit other performers, do a cam show with them, and bring a producer/cameraman with me to hold the camera and record it for videos. I'm converting my little tube/preview site into a paysite with exit VOD options. (The current site does not reflect the look, feel or purpose in the works.) The front end will also feature "local color" segments about each city I visit; festivals, circuit parties, clubs. Hopefully, the tour will build up enough of a following to do "personal appearances" at bars to directly promote the site.
I have cooperation from Jayson at Cam4 to help recruit performers, but I want outside talent, too. I have a lot of PR planned, so it will be good exposure for porn performers and GREAT for cam performers. I'm pledging to link to their shows on their videos' preview page, and give them ample Twitter exposure through all my sites (aggregate over 140,000 followers). So, if you know anyone who might be interested, they can apply here:

I am seeking outside funding through Offbeatr to add some padding to the kick-off for the tour. I realize it's an ambitious plan, and my experience with original ideas is that they usually end up costing double what they were supposed to. I just posted this, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE click the little blue button to Vote for my project:

And lastly, I could be convinced by the right established company, experienced with offbeat gay projects (
maybe someone like Reality Kings or GuyDollars) to handle the back-end of the site and affiliate program. Although I'm capable of doing both, I'd rather focus on the creative than the administrative side. Hit me up or kindly send me a contact. Paysite launch is due on my Gantt Chart by 1/1/2015, so there's not a lot of time for complex negotiations.
I've gotten a lot of mileage out of doing amateur "dad & son" videos and cam shows in the past few years, and I've wanted to go all in with my career for quite some time. With the turmoil in the industry these days, I knew I'd have to lead with a real Wow project that no one else was doing.
I think I've hit it.
