OK , I know that Allanah and Buck have already done this ( excellently ! ) , and I may be in a very small minority here , but is there any market for scenes of T-girls and T-men getting it on ?

[jerseygirlangie]

I love these T-girl comics ! Any chance of persuading the artist to do more ?

Hey Steven Thanks for doing this AMA.
1. Any predictions on the industry in the next 3 years in regards to mainstream cultural acceptance of trans and porn influencing the grooby sites and shoots?
2. What happened to individual girl sites? There use to be 3 or 4 new ones a year, but now it seems harder and harder for a performer to set up their own site.
3. Have you ever had any special projects or websites that you thought would be great but turned into disasters or total money losers? What happened and why do you think they didn't work out the way you intended?
Thanks for all you do and I too have been a member off and on for 20 years.

1. Not really. I don't see them really as being much in sync. Anyone with a passing interest in trans women and erotica would have found in online by now. I don't see mainstream cultural acceptance creating a whole new wave of people interested in seeing trans women porn.

2. They're just so hard to run. 'Back in the day' - a model could put up content and make a good site and do okay from it, but as piracy and competition moved it, it became more difficult - add to this that most girls were to incapable/lacked motivation to run their sites properly (update daily, engage the members, free cam shots, etc.) then they just became too much trouble for us to run. It's easier than ever to run your own site now under a platform like ModelCentro, ManyVids, OnlyFans etc. but there are also a lot more girls competing for the same customers. Why join a site with one girl on for $20 when you can join a site with 5+ updates a week and multiple girls for $30? Only sites that do something very different (ie; Krissy4u) or can carry a large fanbase which the model engages in (MiaMaffia.xxx) can do okay.

3. There have been many - AsianAmericanGirls.com - I love those models, but failed completely as unable to attract enough people, I think it owes us $90,000. Transexdomination - we didn't really have what it took to producer that content, it still owes us about $90,000 also. There have been more. We keep trying new things, some things stick and work well (Femout.XXX, Tgirls.porn) others not so.

Thanks

They're a long time ago - I'd love to get someone to do new ones.

Nothing that we're going to produce for the current sites. We've had a couple on GroobyGirls I think - and the reception for that type of content is very cool. Trans man porn hasn't really taken off very well and the way many expected it to a few years ago, which is a shame. Who is it's target audience?

[GroobySteven]

Do you think Grooby will be around in 10 yrs? Also, why the name Grooby?

'Groovy.com' was already taken and as I could only afford one domain name to encompass a group of sites (when we started in 1996) then I took Grooby. Domain names were about £80 then I think.
It's served us well.

We've been around 22 years, unless there was a drastic shift in the legalities or the ability to market and sell content, I should hope we've another 20 years.

[Post Op Preferred]

Moderately cheaper shooting rates versus MUCH less interest in purchasing Brazilian/S.American content compared to N.American. It's not unique to the trans niche. It's much harder to be profitable.

Three cheers for Grooby then, for Making America Great Again one cum-shot at a time.
And thanks to Steven for opening this very informative thread, one of the best yet.

Hi Steven. Love your work.

Theoretically how easy would it be to do any of these:

a mike Adriano type video including ass and titty worshiping even cock worshiping then sloppy bjs and anal sex. With two or more girls possibly

Also an amateur allure style video would be awesome.

Also a big gulp girls type POV bj scene when they finish the guy off and swallow. With really facially pretty girls.
