Question: What sites do you operate at this time?
Answer: We operate 3 of them. I do all of the personal stuff on mine, Naughty Alysha, as well as help out with SlutSavannah.com. We also operate ExtremeMia.com.
Question: How did you stumble upon the adult genre?
Answer: We used to post nude in public pics on a site. It wasn't our site, and it was for a hobby, just for fun. I started winning contests, and people wanted me to post more graphic pics, so I started winning contests with that as well.
Question: What made you decide to start your own adult site?
Answer: We decided to open NaughtyAlysha for a hobby and charge the bare minimum to keep it away from children. It was all for fun. It just showed an extension of our real lives. It really started taking off, so we thought, "Hey, we may have something here". So, we started charging a bit more, and business just kept getting better. I was then contacted by my producer who flew us out to California for me to do movies, as well. Adam [Alysha's husband, ed.] then quit his job, and we made this our full time job.
Question: What are your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: Well, of course, I enjoy all of the niches that I cover. I wouldn't do them, otherwise. Adam and I were doing ALL of this before we even posted one picture on any site.
Question: With the influx of amateur sites in cyberspace, the competition is becoming tighter by the day. So, what makes your sites different from the hundreds or so on the web?
Answer: We offer a very personal touch to our site ( NaughtyAlysha). We feel that if someone is kind enough to want to check out what we do, then we should do everything we can to keep that person happy and satisfied. That's why I do a lot of requests from my members. I also make sure that I answer ALL of my personal email. I write my own diary entries as well as message board entries. We also have an Instant Message feature in which you can send me a personal message and correspond with me with no one else seeing. As for Slut Savannah and Extreme Mia, I do what I can with those, but of course those sites aren't an "extension" of ourselves, so we can't necessarily give them the personal touch. However, we still try and do EVERYTHING we can to keep the members happily satisfied, as well.
Question: Any webmaster would agree that the success or failure of their sites depends entirely on the members. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: First, I like to call my members and fans, my friends. I've met so many great people since we've been online. With my site being extreme, the people that enjoy it tend to be very open-minded and fun.
Question: What about dislikes? Is there anything in particular that you do not like about them?
Answer: I really don't dislike anything regarding my "friends". They are awesome.
Question: How often do you shoot photo shoots for Naughty Alysha?
Answer: We try and do several a month. NaughtyAlysha is really a reality based site. We don't act with anything. So, if the mood hits us, and we are in the middle of doing something wild and fun, we start taking pics or video. The cameras are never too far away! A few weeks ago, I gave a webcam show from a hotel room and stated that I was really horny and invited anyone in the area to come meet me at a restaurant afterwards so we could bring them back to the room for me to have fun with. NONE of that was set up at all. I was just really horny... lol.
Question: Have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: My husband takes all of my photos. I work with my producer for my movies as well. I've done a couple of photo shoots for a couple of magazines, but nothing major.
Question: How do you choose the themes?
Answer: There really aren't any themes. As I said, NaughtyAlysha is very reality based.
Question: NaughtyAlysha is notorious for showcasing the naughtiest hardcore action. Who comes up with these naughty stories?
Answer: Adam (my husband) does a lot of the story lines. But again it's all real, not fake, so it's not too hard to come up with the words for a story...lol.
Question: Do you invite models for your site? How do you choose them?
Answer: We don't really choose any models. Most of my site (NaughtyAlysha) consists of me. My husband sometimes joins in. We also do shoots with people who want to do an exchange of content if they are in the pics/video with me.
Question: Any future plans you want to share with us?
Answer: We want to build more sites and have fun with whatever we are doing. I don't intend to get away from in front of the camera for a long time. But, I do want to start doing more from behind the camera. I am a TOTAL voyeur at heart, and I really enjoy watching.

Question: First off, I wanted to ask how did you come into the adult genre?
Answer: In January, 2004, my friend, Silvia Saint, asked me if I wanted to visit a casting for Playboy in Brno (CZ). I said why not, and I tried it. It was really unusual to undress before so many people, but I realized that I have no problem with it. Right at that casting, I said to myself - never boy-girl scenes, maximum girl-girl. Two months passed and nothing happened, so I stopped thinking about it, but then they called from the production company selecting me to come to do a photo session. That took place in Prague, lasted three days, and it was girl-girl. I can tell you it was a big shock for an amateur! But I did it and the production company was enthusiastic, so I was sure I should continue modeling.
Question: Why did you launch an adult site?
Answer: For money, of course, and for PR activities.
Question: What sites do you currently operate?
Answer: Evelyn's Glamour for erotic for glamour stuff and is now renamed to My Glamour Site.
Question: What are your insights regarding the niches that you cover?
Answer: I prefer softcore and glamour photos, nice photos, not brutal hardcore.
Question: The competition in this business is pretty tough. What makes your sites different from your competition?
Answer: Because I have stuff directly from producers. I have maximum quality pictures and videos. I don't buy stuff from content providers. I select only high quality stuff for my site.
Question: What do you think your members like most about your sites?
Answer: I think that the movies are in DVD quality.
Question: Aside from their picture and video collection, most websites include erotic stories, games, live shows, and so on. Do have any of these in your sites?
Answer: I don't have stories on my website, only newsletter for my members.
Question: What do you dislike about your members?
Answer: I like all members!
Question: Let's change the pace a bit and talk about what goes on behind the scenes. First, how do you choose the themes?
Answer: My main photographer generally thinks of the themes.
Question: How often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: For my website only 3-4 shoots per month. But I have a lot of shoots for other websites or productions.
Question: Have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: Yes, of course.
Question: Now let's get to the part that your members are surely waiting for -- the models. How do you choose models for the site?
Answer: It's very often my girlfriends, or they're selected by the photographer.
Question: To wrap up, any future plans you care to share with us?
Answer: I plan to make my site bigger and better, shoot many more glamour shots. I also want to be an actress in "normal" films.

Here's our interview with Dominique of Superglam.com - Superglam is an adult site based in Amsterdam that showcases the hottest and horniest girls from Europe.
Question: As a programmer, who shifted from being an adult website enthusiast into a full time adult career, Dominique works with Superglam providing a service that goes beyond the conventional profession. Dominique, how did it all start?
Answer: A decade ago I was working for an ISP and had made, just for fun, an adult website in my free time. Soon I realized that there is more money to be made with this tiny adult website than on my regular job as a programmer. It was then I started to work full time in the adult genre.
Question: What websites do you operate?
Answer: At this moment we are operating Superglam.com only. The site is a blast since it went online. We prefer to devote 100% of our work into one single project, rather than having a couple of average websites. With SuperGlam, quality wins over quantity.
Question: What are your views on the niches you cover?
Answer: The glamour babes niche is almost mainstream, in my opinion, and that is the biggest selling point and advantage compared to harder niches. SuperGlam is a website you can be proud about to be a member of and tell your friends about.
Simi from Super Glam
Question: So just what separates your site from your competitors?
Answer: The amazing quality SuperGlam provides to the members. Plus, we produce what our members are requesting. Also, SuperGlam is more personal than most other porn sites.
Question: What goes on behind the scenes? How often do you do photo shoots?
Answer: Once a month, we have a smaller shoot. Every six months, we are shooting for several weeks in a row for a lot of new content. We have worked with many different photographers already, but only a few of them have met our quality standards. It has happened already, more than once, that we produced a shooting but never released the content to our members because the quality was just not amazing enough for SuperGlam. Normally we do a casting and choose the girls which fit the SuperGlam standards. Also, the members write us what the models they would like to see, and we fly them to Amsterdam to shoot them. All SuperGlam models are extremely good looking, full shaved, self-confident, and proud about their looks. Meanwhile, the themes and story lines are mostly generated from feedback from our members and creative crew.
Eufrat from Super Glam
Question: What's the best thing about your members?
Answer: Our members are a part of our creative and production team. They give us a lot of feedback in who they want to see at SuperGlam and what kind of sets and videos they would like to have on SuperGlam. That is definitely the best thing about our members.
Question: What do you dislike about your members?
Answer: A few members do forget that there are humans behind a adult website and are just too demanding or even rude.
Question: What should your members expect from Superglam in the not too distant future?
Answer: We want to launch other websites with the same quality as SuperGlam, but in other niches.

Question: Why did you start Explicite Art?
Answer: Internet is, for me, the way to freedom and independence. Explicite Art is my house. The members are my guests, and I receive orders from no one here.
Question: How did you come into the adult genre?
Answer: I was a youth novel writer and a documentary director for French TV. And, at the age of 35 (10 years ago), I decided to quit all that and to work full time as a pornographer. It was a passionate choice.
Question: What are your views regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: I try to satisfy most of the demands from my members and deliver the widest variety I can in the content I shoot. For instance, cigarettes, feet, fist-fucking, peeing or deep anal penetrations. These are always a success with my members, so I try to shoot lots of those scenes. I also look at the members' top 50 of Explicite Art almost every day to check their opinion.
Amandine from Explicite Art
Question: The porn industry is growing everyday. Just what makes Explictie Art different from its competition?
Answer: Creativity, personal involvement, obsession for quality and true pleasure. I am not an industrial porn webmaster. I am a craftsman. I shoot and edit the scenes, I draw the design, I personally answer my members.
Question: I noticed that Explicite Art has various themes, how do you choose them?
Answer: I try to shoot a different scene every time and never do the same thing twice. I talk with the models. We try to imagine a situation that we both enjoy.
Question: The videos at Explicite Art have actual stories. Who comes up with them?
Answer: I do. I love to write.
Question: How often do you shoot photoshoots?
Answer: I update often, so I need to shoot every week - usually during the weekend.
Question: Do you work with different photographers?
Answer: Sometimes, during the shooting of my big films, I have to hire a photographer. But all the photos and videos are shot by myself, except for the making of the photos.
Question: Explicite Art is renowned for its sensually gorgeous models. How do you choose models for the site?
Answer: I choose passionate girls willing to do this for pleasure. I don't like to work with professional girls, like Czech or Hungarian girls, because they do that for the money and their pleasure and emotion are faked. Most of the girls I work with are Parisian students.
One of the models found on Explicite Art
Question: I am sure that most webmasters will agree that the members are the lifeblood of the site. So what are the best things about your members?
Answer: They are faithful and passionate. Some of them have been members for four years. They write to me. They stay with us, and we have a personal dialog by email.
Question: Is there anything that you dislike about the members?
Answer: When they act like barbarians. For instance, when some of them take a one month membership, download all the content as fast as they can with specialized software and then write to ask for a refund pretending they are not satisfied.
Question: What's John B. Root's next step?
Answer: Make more money with my site in order to spend more money in the content and to open new original and creative adult sites. I have lots of ideas.

Question: Thanks for taking the time to do this one on one. First off I want to ask, how did you come into the adult genre, and why did you start an adult site?
Answer: These 2 questions really go hand and hand. We got into the industry as an experiment. We just wanted to share some of the pictures we enjoyed as surfers. Then after learning more and talking with others, we started to work at building sites that generated traffic. When looking for sites to promote, we could not find a site we wanted to join and decided we could do a better job building a site that catered to the surfers. This is how karups was born, and we officially entered the adult market.
Question: Which sites do you operate?
Answer:
Karups PC, Karups Hometown Amateurs, Karups Older Women and Boy Fun Collection.
Question: What are your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: Our only true niche is quality. Providing lots of fresh new models in exclusive photosets on a regular update schedule is simple business sense to us. We have always taken a commitment to what we do very seriously, and it is because of this commitment to building a site that develops a strong bond with the members that we have creates a niche unique to us.
Alana from Karups Hometown Amateurs
Question: The competition in online porn is getting tighter each day. What makes your sites different from your competition?
Answer: The biggest difference is most other companies choose one quality or quantity. We update each of our sites multiple times per week with many different style models. This way, no matter what you are turned on by, you are sure to find something you enjoy in each update. The fact we are 90% exclusive means that you get your value. You will not get to see our pictures in other sites. There is not tons of filler content you have seen on all the free sites and every other pay site you have joined.
Question: In this industry, the success and failure of a site depends entirely on the members. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: Our members are the most loyal fans any business could ask for. Because of over 10 years of dependable updates and continued reliability, our members come back again and again. Our fan base has also helped us in many ways in that they are so vocal of their likes and dislikes. Because of the amazing feed back over the years, it has helped tune our content purchases to cater to their tastes and, in turn, keep them coming back.
Question: In contrast to my previous question, is there anything in particular that you do not like about your members?
Answer: When you make a living on a service, it is your responsibility to make the customer always be right so there is nothing we could dislike about our fans. The only time we ever even feel so much as frustration is when a technical issue, or lack of understanding in the technology being used, creates a rift. With the rise in trojans, spyware, firewall programs, security concerns, popup blockers, anti-virus, and ad blockers, it makes diagnosing any technical issue much more difficult. To allow for this, we tend to be slow to update technology if it means leaving other members behind.
Question: Why don't we change the gears a bit and talk about the things that went on behind the scene. First, how do you choose the themes?
Answer: The photographers handle most of that. Several factors play into selection time availability and location of the model. The greatest advantage of using many photographers is the photography changes with the sets, not just the backgrounds and clothes. This makes a big difference when you add the amount of content. In regards to the clothing, that is all based on the model and how she acts in the casting call and the day she shows up for a shoot. You can't just throw a model in a cheerleading uniform and have an affective cheerleader. You need to find a girl with the right personality, and if you look at that, the theme or set creates itself around the reality of the girl.
Question: How do you come up with the story lines?
Answer: When the company was started everyone involved hated the cheesy "Hi, my name is Bob. Can I lay some pipe?" story lines the VHS and cable producers pushed on us. Our members have let us know we made the right choice by focusing on the good stuff a nice hot sex scene. We don't hire actors, and we aren't trying to write plots into someplace it doesn't belong, like a porn movie.
Question: With regards to the content itself, how often do you shoot photo shoots, and do you work with different photographers?
Answer: We update so much we could never shoot all our own content. Currently, we are buying from 30 to 40 photographers all over the world.
Packages of raw images and video stream into our office on daily basis. Chances are on any given day, as many as 3 shoots may be going on somewhere in the world.
Tyra from Karups Older Women
Question: Now let's get to the part that your members are waiting for, the models. How do you choose the models for your site?
Answer: This is one of the hardest jobs you could imagine. We get many submissions from photographers every day, and since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it makes it hard to choose. One of the nice things about updating so much is we do not have to limit ourselves to one type or niche. We have every type of beautiful woman you could imagine. Specifically, we look to have clean, natural beautiful women who are not full of tattoos and piercings. Karups HA has a very natural girl next door look, and you would be shocked to find out she posed naked if you knew her. We get alot of college girls experimenting or looking for a way to rebel in that site, and it has been very successful. Karups PC has more of the glamour girls you would find on a private beach or in the VIP booth at a hot club. Our newest site Karups OW has a wide selection of more mature models. We have everything from the hot mom to the more plump big tit model and even those really mature older grannies. Our goal with each site is to pick content that anyone that's into the genre we cover will enjoy.
Question: To wrap up, what are your future plans?
Answer: To continue what we are doing. We have launched very few sites over the years. Focusing on our core business is always job number 1. We are nothing without our members, and we have to work very hard to keep them happy. We also recognize the market is changing and are looking for new ways to provide the same quality in new areas. Providing content in the format members want is a growing challenge with the increase in mobile platforms and new distribution outlets. We are working on Flash movies as well as full movies in addition to the wmv clips we offer now. Another move has been to increase ease of finding content with our recently developed advanced search features and our new top models and top picture categories. Member voting is now helping to influence our choices of future models and settings all of wich has equated to increased member satisfaction.
Thanks to Charles for his time answering these questions. Below we have gathered a few preview galleries from all the Karups sites

Questions: What are the sites that you operate?
Answer: I operate several paysites right now: Extreme Holly, Blowjob Races, Sexy Solo Sluts, Extreme Girl Network, Spit Swappers, CFNM Gold, Extreme Sophia, Cum Challenge, and Extreme Alex, based on the pornstar Alex Divine. I also have a surfer/member forum called ExtremeGirlForum.com
Questions: How did you enter the adult genre?
Answer: I started as a male performer in summer of 2000 and learned a lot about the business by hanging around the right people and attending as many of the webmaster shows as I could.
Questions: What made you decide to start operating an adult site?
Answer: It was time for me to apply what I had learned in the previous 4 years and start my own affiliate program, offering the best in content and service.
Questions: You mention that you operate several paysites. Could you give your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: My main focus is on the "extreme" niche as I understand it very well and can operate in it with a lot less competition than in the other more saturated and mature niches.
Questions: The online porn industry is growing everyday. What makes your sites different from your competition?
Answer: The majority of the content that I offer on my sites it 100% exclusive and shot by me personally. So you will never see it anywhere else but on my own sites. I also give the members what I promise and deliver regular updates on all sites.
Questions: Extreme Holly features some pretty unique themes. How do you choose them?
Answer: From a combination of member feedback/input and from what I think up myself. I also need to ensure it stays legal and will appeal to as many people as possible too.
Questions: When I've reviewed Extreme Holly I couldn't help but be impressed with the creativity presented in each extreme hardcore episode. Who comes up with the storylines, and how do you come up with them?
Answer: Again, I roughly script out what I want accomplished in the scene then go through it with the talent on the set - everything from the basic dialogue I want to hear to the positions I need to see. For the most part, it's pretty gonzo style within a basic framework of what needs to be said/done to get the scene right for the members.
Questions: Operating several sites must keep you very busy, especially when it comes to updating the sites' content. Just how often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: About once a week on average, for a full day. We plan the entire day out ahead of time and then burn through each scene to get it done right.
Questions: Have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: I have employed Cole Montana to shoot some of the scenes for BlowjobRaces.com for me. He has come a long way and also acts as an agent to lots of the talent I use on my sites as well.
Questions: What about the models, how do you choose them for the site?
Answer: Pretty much based on what the girl is willing to do. The less attractive she is, the more "hardcore" she must be willing to get. An attractive girl can always get away with doing less on camera, that's just a fact of life.
Questions: Any webmaster would agree that the life of their business relies entirely upon the members. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: I get to know many of them through the Extreme Girl Forum, and they are a very cool bunch of people, laid back, and down to earth. They share a common passion for extreme porn, and I'm more than happy to be able to give it to them.
Questions: What about dislikes? Is there anything in particular that you do not like about your members?
Answer: The bastards who make bad checks that bounce 5 days later. If I had the time, I would love to be able to hunt each one of them down.

Here's our Interview with Didier Carre of Gallery Carre.
Question: First of, I wanted to ask how did you came into the adult genre?
Answer: I have been a photographer for more than 20 years now, and my work was most of the time in a black and white laboratory. Nude photography was a hobby for me - something just for fun. Five years ago, because of digital photography, my business went down slowly, so it was time for me to find a new way to make money. So I started a new life as a photographer but it was a "full time job" only nude photography.
Question: Why did you start an adult site?
Answer: It is the only way to show all what I want and only what I want. I wanted to do only black and white pictures; today, it is very difficult to sell black and white pictures to magazines. So today Gallery Carre is my way to look at the female body. I am free. I work for me and for the members I share the photos. They are happy and so am I.
Question: Do you operate any other site?
Answer: No just Gallery Carre
Question: What are your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: This is really a very small "niche." We are less than 10 photographers who do such pictures - hard and clean at the same time. We all know each other, and some of us are friends. We exchange original prints. It is "cool."
Question: The competition in online porn is pretty steep. What makes your sites different from your competitions?
Answer: There are two answers. First, it is the only site where you can see all kinds of styles: soft pictures, hard pictures, studio, outdoor, famous porn actress or "first timer" model. There are all kinds of bodies, but always a tribute to female body. Second, day after day, I just build the web site I would like to watch. When I like a picture, I want to share it with everyone.
Question: Generally members are considered as the lifeblood of each site. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: I receive many emails everyday, and most of them say "Thank you for sharing your pictures with us." They are members, so they have paid to watch the photos, but we never speak about money. I don't feel like someone who sells something.
Question: What about dislike, is there anything you do not like about the members?
Answer: I receive (once a month) some emails saying that what I do is just porn pictures, but this is so few emails. I am very happy with all the members. I trust them, and they trust me.
Question: Why don't we shift the gears a bit and talk about what goes on behind the scene. How do you choose the themes?
Answer: I don't choose themes. I want to do all the themes.
Question: How often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: Two or three times a month.
Question: During these photo shoots, have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: No, I always work alone. Sometimes I work with other photographers. We share the cost to rent a house and pay the models, but everyone does his own job.
Question: How do you choose models for the site?
Answer: They must be beautiful, for sure, but the most important is that they must love to do this job and they must be able to show that they are proud to do what the usual girl doesn't dare to do.
Question: What are your future plans?
Answer: New models, new travels, new pictures, and many, many new members !!

Hey, porn fans. I hope you're all having a great week! Have you been naughty or nice? Whichever you've been, I hope Santa will give you a lot of "ho ho ho" in your Christmas stocking!
Here's another porn site interview, featuring the webmaster from Busty2.com.
Question: What sites do you operate?
Answer: Busty2, TranssexualPalace, OpenYourLegs, FantasyAmateur, Oriental-Delights, and Latin-Goddess.
Question: Just how did you stumble upon the adult genre?
Answer: I have been a Glamour / Nude Photographer for almost 30 years now. The advent of the internet gave me a wider audience to show my work to.
Question: Why did you start an adult site?
Answer: It enabled me to reach a vast audience with my work and, of course, to make a little money!!
Question: What are your views regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: Busty2 is an all natural boobs site with a huge membership base. It started when the famous Busty-Amateurs site closed in August of 2000. (I used to be their main photographer / videographer). Boobs have always been extremely popular and working on sites like Busty-Amateurs made me realize just how popular. Busty2 is a site full of all natural girl next door models that are not in heavy make-up (which I personal hate). They're in natural surroundings. Since the BA days, we have added more videos and hard-core videos to improve the appeal of B2. Our other sites have come about to fill voids in our Affiliate program Busty-Bucks. Many affiliates had traffic which was suited to more than just the boob niche and was going to waste, so Transsexual Palace, Open Your Legs, etc. have been built to satisfy our affiliates' requests. Busty2 and most of our other sites have 100% exclusive content, which we shoot ourselves.
Question: The competition in this business has become tighter nowadays. What makes your sites different from your competition?
Answer: Six webmasters and I run all operations on our sites. We update, design, submit, and shoot our own exclusive content, including hard-core videos. We care about our members and affiliates and listen to their ideas and requests. We reply individually to each and every e-mail sent to us, even during holidays and weekends.
Question: You mention that you shoot your own content. Just how often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: I personally shoot 20 - 30 new models each month. Sometimes it's difficult to find that many new models who also have natural breasts, but lately we have been shooting more average size models for the FantasyAmateur and OpenYourLegs sites.
Question: With several sites to handle, have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: Yes, quite a few, in the both the USA and Europe; however, I prefer to shoot my own images and video as much as possible, with the exception of our Transsexual Palace site, where most of the images are shot for us exclusively.
Question: What about the themes? How do you choose them?
Answer: Many ideas come from our members' e-mails requesting certain themes and settings. For example, when I shot Aria Giovanni with her breasts being squeezed in a vice or by a human hand, it was a member's request. Those sets are amazingly popular.
Question: Who comes up with the stories or the story lines?
Answer: The ideas for our work are collaboration between our webmasters, members, affiliates, and me.
Question: As for the models featured at your sites, how do you choose them?
Answer: I mainly choose the models, and we have a lot of model finders who send us new faces almost daily.
Question: Anyone in this industry would agree that the life of their site depends entirely on the members. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: Loyalty. We have many members who joined almost 6 years ago and are still with us today.
Question: Is there anything that you dislike about your members?
Answer: Not much. Sometimes they can be a little impatient, but that is understandable if they want to see more videos or pictures of their favorite model.
Question: Any future plans that you want to share with us?
Answer: We continue to look for innovative ways to improve the sites and to add more value for our members. We take polls and listen to suggestions put forward by members as to what they want to see. If at all possible, we will implement those ideas on the sites.

Hey, guys and gals! Here's another porn site webmaster interview from the webmaster of Adult Players' Club.
Question: Could you share with us how did you come into the adult genre?
Answer: I had this friend years ago named Chris who was/is an avid porn surfer. He would be on his computer day and night looking only at porn. I saw him buying memberships to sites like crazy, so I figured if there are more people like Chris in the world then I can be a rich man pretty easily.
Question: What made you decide to start an adult site?
Answer: I guess it was more curiosity than money at first. I wanted to see what the industry was about. Once I learned the industry, I was set on taking advantage of the tons and tons of money to be made in it.
Question: We did a review on MILF Challenge. Do you operate any other sites?
Answer: I operate many sites in many different niches. I am constantly working on new sites too. Here are some: AllAccessReality, AssMunchers, CreampieSurprise, FantasyHandjobs, FemalePOV, GangBangDivas, HoodHunter, MyGayRoomates, PussyAssMouth, ShockingParties, TGirlAdventures, TGirlHandjobs, TGirlIsland, ThroatJobs, TGirlsOnGirls and more. I have quite a few new sites coming out very soon.
Question: That's quite a number! So, what are your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: I love almost all of them. I have very diverse tastes, though few would admit a curiosity of a site like TGirls On Girls. I'm completely straight, but every man has curiosity.
Question: The competition in online porn industry is getting tighter everyday. Just what makes your sites different from your competition?
Answer: Our sites are 100% unique. We don't buy content from 100 (or even one) producer that has sold the same content to a thousand other webmasters. Our content has never been seen before, and it will only be seen on our sites. Not to mention the fact that the Member's Areas are completely packed with content.
Question: How often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: A lot. Probably about 5 times a week.
Question: Have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: Yes. I enjoy networking with others in the same line of work.
Question: What about the themes? How do you come up with the story lines?
Answer: I come up with the stories. It just seems natural really. Like telling a story - what's going to happen next and all. Generally they just come to me. I'll be getting my mail and I'll see a couple fighting and an idea will pop in my head. That sort of stuff.
Question: Another notable feature of your site is the models. How do you choose them?
Answer: Some from emails I get from people who visit the sites, others from model sites. It's mostly word-of-mouth though.
Question: With a number sites under your name, I'm sure you encounter different members. What are the best things about your members?
Answer: Most of them are honest, cool people that don't fuck around with you.
Question: Is there anything you dislike about them?
Answer: I don't like the members that contact me for personal info (address, phone number, etc.). That's just not right.
Question: Any future plans that you want to share with us?
Answer: Too much. I have so many exciting things planned. I'm just taking it slow, doing everything right.

Continuing our interview series, here's Annie of Girls Out West.
Question: First off, what do you do at Girls Out West and what other sites do you operate?
Answer: I'm Annie, the web master, photographer, video maker at Girls Out West. This is the only site I run.
Question: In a nutshell, how would you describe Girls Out West?
Answer: Girls Out West is non-conformist, always daring, always surpising and never boring. You will see girls in all their diversity. They will make you laugh; they will make you hard. You'll want to keep coming back for more. They celebrate schlock, trash, maverick film-making, and primal urges.
Question: How did you come into the adult genre?
Answer: For the last 10 years I have been working for men's magazines, both in Australia and the US. I studied sexual fetishes at university and have always been interested in human sexuality in all its manifestations. So publishing my work on the internet was a great opportunity to show the world my rude photos and video. I love anything that's taboo and dark.
Question: What made you decide to start an adult site?
Answer: I love exploring the darker hidden side of people's sexuality. I'm excited by the fact that people are getting off on my perverse images. I was really frustrated and bored because I didn't have anywhere to show my work. I'm a very independent entrepreneur with a punk attitude toward the establishment and mainstream, so I want to show you all that porn doesn't have to be the same old bullshit. Even before I had the site, I was shooting video of orgies, masturbation and fetish stuff.
Question: What are your insights regarding the niches that you cover?
Answer: I love amateur girls because they are natural, healthy, fun and often do shoots because they want to put their sexuality into the world (not just for the money). They get off knowing that guys all over the world are getting off! I think surfers can get very jaded by mainstream porn with false girls and want to see girls that are available,
accessible, and hot. Chicks that you could pick up if you met them in pub.
Question: The competition in the adult genre is growing steeper by the day. Just what makes Girls Out West different from your competition?
Answer: Girls Out West is very intimate. I get to know the girls, what they like, what turns them on, their darker sexual side, so this makes it easy for me to portray the "real" girl because I feel like I know her. I often become good friends with the models. Many live near me and are always popping in. I re-shoot many of the favourites and document their sex lives as they experience new things. The videos are very personal as the girls expose all aspects of their lives - from the orgy that they had the night before, or their first anal experience. Many models interact by "blogging" on the forums with the members. And the members "picture blogging" is hilarious and entertaining. The girls enjoy the positive affirmation and the fact that they are turning guys on turns them on. Models post very confessional threads about their bisexuality, motherhood, anal, boyfriends, relationships etc - so the members get to know the "real" girl behind the pictures and video.
Question: In this industry, members are generally considered as the "lifeblood." What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: I love the interaction with the members. I love their photos and stories. I am curious to know as much about them as possible. I encourage feedback, comments, and suggestions about what they want to see on the site. Often these suggestions can be implemented immediately. My vision is from a woman's perspective (that's why I can capture the girls so well), and I need to know from the members what they like and want to see more of.
I enjoy getting private emails, private messages, and seeing shots of the members' hard cocks that they post on the forums. I feel that I have made so many new friends on my site, and I genuinely care about the models and the members. This site is the best thing I've ever done. It is everything to me - more important than my own sex life really - and that is sad.....hahaha!
The members love participating in the competitions, beauty pageants, and orgasm tallies that are run on the forums.
Question: What about dislikes? Is there anything that you do not like about your members?
Answer: I wish more members would communicate with me - either via the forums or by email. I want to know everything about their sex life, what gets them off. They should definitely flirt more with me and encourage me to show more of myself on girlsoutwest.
Question: Why don't we shift the gears a bit and talked about what goes on behind the scene. For starters, how do you choose the themes?
Answer: I collaborate with the models very closely. We hang out together, and I get to know her intimate secrets very quickly. I find out what her interests are, what turns her on, what makes her wet and then organize the shoots around that. I do a lot of outdoor shoots in industrial locations, country themes, and suburban houses. More and more, I invite the girls into my own bedroom, where it's very conducive to masturbating and having sex. If the model is comfortable in the environment/location, then she'll be more relaxed and willing to go just that bit further and show more of herself. I also shoot the girls in their own homes as well - so you can see her life unfold before your very eyes.
Question: What about the story lines? Who comes up with them?
Answer: I encourage the girls to express their true selves so we come up with ideas together. Girls Out West is very much a collaboration with the models and myself. The girls have all the control; I am merely the mechanism to make it all happen. That's why the girls love this site so much and want to keep coming back - because they set the scene, wear their own clothes, perform acts that get them off, and bring their girlfriends along for a bi-sexual experience which is devoid of a male gaze. Because I am a one woman show, all the content is devoid of a male gaze. You get to see chicks being themselves - having fun, mucking around and getting as rude as they want!! That's why you'll see lots of genuine orgasms on Girls Out West.
Question: Content update is a very important feature in a site. Just how often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: I shoot numerous shoots per week - from 3 to 7 shoots a week. And these can be solo girls, then the girls bring their friends along for girl/girl. Sometimes if the girls have a new boyfriend, they will fuck their boyfriend on camera.
Question: During those shoots, have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: Primarily I am a photographer (university educated with a degree in Media Arts, Photography, Film Making and Journalism) so I have worked with assistants, but rarely other photographers. It's a very solitary profession, you know. It's about you and the camera - and the camera giving you license to go anywhere, do anything! That's what I like.
Question: I'm sure your members are most curious about the models. How do you choose them for the site?
Answer: I advertise and interview all the girls myself so I get to know them very quickly. I choose girls who are attractive, likeable, sexy, exhibitionistic (or shy - they're the ones who will shock you the most), and girls who are confident in their skin. I like a girl who is sexy and smart, can tell a good story about what happened at the pub last night, and can have a real orgasm on camera.
Question: Any future plans that you care to share with us?
Answer: I would like to feature webcams, live web shows, sell DVDs, introduce cool functions, both back-end stuff and front of house stuff. The movies are maverick in style and inspired by film-makers like Jim Jarmusch, Russ Myer, John Waters and David Lynch. They can be darkly humorous, shlock, trash, vaudeville - but always entertaining. I love to shock, but I'm finding it harder to shock myself these days. The movies will make you smile and hard at the same time!
