Are you happy working in porn?
 
I am :)


more than 10 years being happy in this industry, and every new day gets better and better :)


and you?

Rochard 01-26-2015 10:42 AM

I love this industry.

My favorite part is working from home. Fuck working in an office. I will never ever do that again. I set my own hours, and while I always work more than eight hours a day plus work on weekends, I love being able to set my own hours.... I also love being able to sneak out for a few hours to do something in the middle of the day, or to take a long lunch with a friend.

ajrocks 01-26-2015 10:50 AM

I agree with Rochard. How can you ever go back to working in an office after you've been working from home?

Life is great when you wake up and don't need to leave the house to go to work. I hang out with my dog and work all day with no distractions or the need to deal with "personalities" at the office.

VSKimi 01-26-2015 10:52 AM

Abso-tootn-lutely love this industry! Only been working in it for 6 years but every year it gets better. Growing up in what's named "Porn Valley" I suppose it was a natural move to start working in this biz, best move I've made ;)

Being at home definitely takes the sting out of working on weekends.

I always said if I have to work for an asshole, it might as well be myself.

pornmasta 01-26-2015 11:16 AM

romeo22 01-26-2015 11:33 AM

good for you so blow the cake!@

The Porn Nerd 01-26-2015 11:44 AM

Working for yourself is really the key.
Of course, having a j-o-b at a big corp is great, too (stock options).

Enjoy Bucks 01-26-2015 11:57 AM

Yes, 10+ years and no regrets!

LeRoy 01-26-2015 12:04 PM

Almost 10 years working in this biz. I've met a lot of great people here :)

It's hard work but it's a lot of fun too. Congrats on the 10 years.

wehateporn 01-26-2015 12:05 PM

Enjoy it while it lasts!

brassmonkey 01-26-2015 12:33 PM

the affiliate side is almost dead :2 cents::2 cents: i luv the money

MrGusMuller 01-26-2015 12:35 PM

Yah!

We get free porn! some u/p and eventually some bucks!

dillonaire 01-26-2015 03:02 PM

I love this industry. Ive been in the industry for over 14 years now and love it more every year. For me this is much more than a job and a way to put food on the table. Many people here are like family to me and I care about them and our industry. I want to better our industry. If I didnt like working in the biz I would just clock in at 9am and out at 5pm and not use any of my personal time toward the business.

makeabuck 01-26-2015 03:05 PM

I love my job and I am very grateful for it.

420 01-26-2015 03:06 PM

yes

Cause not doing whatever the fuck you wanna do sucks.

altmman 01-26-2015 03:08 PM

Thanks GOD for porn. For years I got up at 6am to be on the train at 7:45 and would see everyone around me exhausted and sad looking on the train. I havent had to wake up early for a long time.

Unfortunately sales are slumping for me thats the only bummer but Im grateful for the run I had.

RyuLion 01-26-2015 03:16 PM

The reason I moved full time to this Industry 15+ years ago is to be happy, be independent, etc..

DirtyDreamer 01-26-2015 03:39 PM

I love working in porn but I just wish the money was better.

I like money

altmman 01-26-2015 04:02 PM

My BOL and another friend both work corporate jobs and both have horrible women bosses who make their lives miserable. Weekly meetings at 7am on Mondays, piling more work on, being bossed around and you have to just shut up and take it. fuck that.

scubadiver626 01-26-2015 04:08 PM

Fuck ever getting a 9 to 5 again!
I don't miss being office social at all. Thank god for sex!

scubadiver626 01-26-2015 04:09 PM

My wife also said she'd get a job if income drops. Life is good!

fappingJack 01-26-2015 04:11 PM

Been happy in this industry for the past 14+ years. Can't beat making a great living while working from home and having lots of great friends.

Working from home is awesome and earning a great living doing it rocks. But all those great friends you have? That's a fantasy. Let your great income dry up for a bit, and you'll see the majority of those great friends do the same thing.

But on the bright side... When you turn your income around, you can keep those fair-weather friends kicked to your outer circle, where they belong.

Just sharing a little wisdom learned from being in this business for 18 years.

Now imagine what happens when you have a low income from a mainstream job... :2 cents:
Facebook friends are not reliable friends...

NatalieK 01-27-2015 03:49 AM

I'm happy in the industry, just a little conscious my partner & I could be doing more, maybe contacting more people, selling our content to other companies rather than just our own content sites. But then when we go to, another path is on the hill.

iamBoogieman 01-27-2015 04:17 AM

Im happY in porn

Barefootsies 01-27-2015 04:17 AM

No complaints in regards to being in the industry and the stigma that comes with it.

As the saying goes, "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

:pimp

ShowMe69 01-27-2015 05:31 AM

14 years no complaints

Caldo 01-27-2015 06:04 AM

I'm also satisfied :thumbsup

Yes that's good, and also I can work anywhere with a notebook, however, I have to lie what my job really is to 95% of people, this is so boring.

Plutocracy 01-27-2015 10:12 AM

I'm jumping back in after a few years break from it. Slow going right now but springtime I will be into it :)

Now I'm addicted to this stupid forum LOL

and you?

to my way of thinking 99% of GFY is NOT in porn, vast difference between being an internet marketing salesman and ----

----- being persecuted for doing your job, needing to hide your location, having a 50% no show rate and having laws enacted to drive you out of business.... that my friend is porn :2 cents:

Yes, I have to agree, I love the smooth days of shooting and when things are fun. Sometimes it's not like that and having to force yourself to shoot is never a good time. I don't like hiding what I do because of closed minded people. Or how people think it's all fun and games (not a real job). shooting, editing, then countless hours doing other things is always a blast! I admit I love the finished product and it makes it all worth while :)

All and all, I do love what I do and there is no other job I'd rather have.

kittykatt 01-27-2015 11:30 AM

I've never been happier :thumbsup

CourtneyR 01-27-2015 11:31 AM

I don't think the majority of the folks in the industry are cut out for mainstream. This is where we belong.

rayadp05 01-27-2015 04:06 PM

12 years now (full time) working in the industry. Great job and I am looking forward to many more years to come. :thumbsup

WDRockstar 01-28-2015 01:06 AM

Of course... where else can you watch porn and get paid doing it :D
