Hodj is worse than AIDS, at least Charlie Sheen doesn't have him

No one said anything about being persecuted and its actually Soy, Cad, Abe, and now you.

The way you're reacting, posting walls of text and such, clearly indicates that you feel that you're being ganged up on. For whatever idiotic reason. "Persecuted" was obviously hyperbole. The fact is, Cad hasn't taken a position other than asking for a source for your claims. Soygen and I aren't really questioning your claims either, just pointing out that you're being an autistic idiot about this. Really the only one questioning your claims is Abe, and even he admits it's more out of curiosity than it is having any fundamental disagreement with you.

And yet you're spazzing the fuck out.

No one has lost their mind, its just a stupid conversation I thought this shit was common knowledge, when I made the post I didn't expect Cad to leap in here and start demanding fucking citations for what is generally, from what I understand, common knowledge in the industry.

Fucking lol. The payment scale of various types of porn stars is or should be "common knowledge" to you?

I wasn't looking for an argument when I made my initial post in the first fucking place.

No dude, sorry, but you're always looking for an argument. And Cad played you like a fiddle. The proper response to Cad's query was "I don't have any specific sources, it's just what I've gathered in reading/seeing some interviews with porn stars over the years." Or something to that effect. Everyone would have raised an eyebrow that you're so well versed in the vagaries of porn star remuneration, but likely not given much of a fuck.

Instead, you lost your goddamn mind at the gall of Cad asking to provide a source for your claim, which is hilarious given your posting history here. He's laughing his ass off at you right now, as is the rest of the board. You are completely incapable of letting even the slightest disagreement go, no matter how minor or inconsequential. I look forward to the wall of text that will come in response to my post.

That's the thing. The only thing anyone has to go on is what the porn stars themselves report. There haven't been any major studies done on the subject that I'm aware of.

You'd be surprised. I know that the Economist in sometime in the last 6 months had a big report on prostitution and it contained a lot of information on what's charged for particular sex acts and by whom. Not sure if it was their research, or if they got it from elsewhere. That's not directly comparable to the porn industry, obviously. Here's the article, guess it was actually over a year ago:More bang for your buck | The Economist

That's a pretty pathetic strawman you pulled there to try and pull a win out of your loss.

The question isn't "Is it worth it to "deface" your body to make bucketloads of tranny porn cash" and that was never the claim.

The claim was that femme men who are going to do porn anyway will go the tranny route to make more money, comparable to the rates they would pull doing regular gay porn.

And that claim is true.

Suck on it Cad.

why do you let him push your buttons so easily, all he said was that trannies and male porn actors start out at the same scale range, trannies have a 1300 pay ceiling while male models have an 800 and up scale with no ceiling.

While you're right about the compensation, I'm not so sure this particular point is accurate hodj. In looking for how much money TS stars make, the handful of personal accounts that I read the models actually went into the business to finance their transitions. One of the TS porn sites actually offers to help cover the transition costs of it's models. Granted that's all anecdotal but there it is ...

Did this derail just actually fucking happen?

This thread has taken a strange turn. I may be aroused.

I'm not as heavily invested in the tranny porn salary issue as you seem to be hodj, but let me offer this data point also:

17 Little-Known Facts About The Porn Industry | Thought Catalog

That would be 1500-1800 per scene... significantly more than kink.com is offering for TS performers.

Got any other data? Or you just going to poz load a bunch of feels on us and do a few more premature (ahem) victory laps hodj?

I saw that article to. Everything else I saw had the male actor rates both straight and gay quite a bit lower. As I said, kink.com is a BDSM site and models make more when doing fetish scenes.

If gay porn makes three times as much as straight porn, it seems to me that it would be making more than tranny porn, because traps aren't gay. (I happen to be an expert on the subject of traps.)
