Has the "transsexual porn phenomena" peaked?

[GroobySteven]

straight companies can afford to offer cheap prices. Brazzers has over 100,000 members. It can afford to be cheap and have the best women in the business star in movies. Straight companies know how to promote girls to lure new members and keep loyal members.

you know nothing about the industry whatsoever.

All bollocks.

Are you jealous? Let's be real and state the facts. Straight porn is cheaper than transsexual porn. Straight porn has a larger consumer base and the mega sites have way more members than any transsexual site.

Shemale Yum is $34.99 a month.

Brazzers is $19.99 a month.

This is also a weak economy. Transsexual porn cannot peak when it is the most expensive porn to buy.

Let's also look at Parodies. Straight porn has good quality parodies. The first transsexual parody This Isn't Ugly Betty was awful because out of the four scenes, only one had anything to do with Ugly Betty. The other scenes were recycled scenes from past Brazilain DVDs and one random gonzo scene. You never see BS like this in straight porn today.

Striaght porn standards are always raising. While transsexual porn's standards have barely changed.

Jealous of whom, you? Hmmm - no.

You are trying to equate Brazzers which isn't only "straight" porn site, it's an all encompassing porn site that doesn't focus on one niche in the mainstream, with a smallish niche like "transsexual". It doesn't have any relation?

Brazzers can afford to charge less (I think it's $24.99) than niched sites as they do have a larger amount of customers with the same outgoings, it's simple economics, whether transsexual porn has "peaked" or not is irrelevant to your argument. You cannot compare the two.

Transsexual porn is by far not the most expensive porn, there are loads of cheap transsexual sites and DVD's that you can join and other niches are about the same prices. Nobody is forcing you to pay, a company like ours has worked out the economics needed to make a site work, reducing the price would not bring in enough new sales to make the budget work.

What has a "parody" got to do with anything? Who gives a fuck? There are plenty of TS productions released in terms of market share, there might even be more than other niches. There is plenty of mainstream content which is shit also.

I fail to see how transsexual porn standards have "barely changed" in comparison to the mainstream market? As PART OF the same industry, they have changed with it?

Your moaning and pissing into the wind, issues are just pointless. You do offer some good feedback some of the time but the rest of it, where YOU actually think you know about the industry and try to equate apples to oranges, is just a waste of time and complete crap.

My impression is that the interest in and enthusiasm for transsexual porn has generally peaked. I don't think it's for lack of talent or beauty, I simply suspect that the genre is unable to attract new fans. The number of transsexual films produced each year seems to be on the decline (presumably, reflecting demand). Some transsexual "stars" have even become more mainstream and media darlings of sorts (e.g. Candice Cayne, Yasmine Lee, Allanah Starr, Sunny Delight, Jennifer Paris, just to name a few) but my sense is that the "bloom is off the rose", so to speak, for transsexual porn. For me, transsexual porn and sex has become just as exciting / boring as any other type of porn and sex.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

YES and NO.

Has the porn phenomena peaked? I'd say it's plateau'd for sure.
15 yrs ago with hardly any content available on the internet those intereted in transsexual porn were eager and excited to grab anything they could find and willing to pay for it. This continued for a while (we were lucky to be in early and build early) until other companies who didn't specialize in the niche, saw the financial opportunity and it became a "goldrush". Cheap generic product attached to micro-niched websites which promised exactly what that member wanted but then led into a "mega-site" which never updated in the specific micro-niche the customer joined.

Here is an article I wrote in 2010 for Xbiz about it if you wish to read more.

This created a glut of content.

So it's 2011. The amount of people joining the internet has slowed (I don't have the figures on this) and the amount of people enjoying free porn has increased. I wouldn't judge the amount of DVD's getting released as an indication of whether it's peaked, the DVD industry is dying rapidly. I'd look at the amount of scenes getting produced worldwide as a better indication and yes, there are less now than a few years ago (however, I expect there are a lot more American scenes now than 5 yrs ago, but less Brazil, Argie, Thai, Filipino, etc.).

This can be attributed to the two points above but also to the fact, which is what I think you were getting at, is that most people, who have access to the internet AND are into transsexuals or have a potential interest, have already been presented with that content.

So the rapid growth of the genre didn't so much reach a peak but a plateau of where transsexual porn isn't so much a phenomena but part of the mainstream porn niches. Productions continue to happen, new models come along which continue to titillate and excite even those like myself, who've been looking at content for 15+ yrs, new websites are built and like the whole porn industry, it continues to evolve looking for new avenues, revenue streams and projects.

Brazzers does have a niche- Big Tits. Over 90% of their films feature big titty women. It has always been their main niche.

Brazzers isn't the only straight site. Naughty America, Bangbros, and Reality King are cheaper than transsexual sites.

What I meant by cheaper is that the American straight sites that are active are cheaper than the active American and Brazilian transsexual sites.

I didn't take into account DVDs. DVDs are the past for porn. In my opinion I think porn companies should focus on online porn sites. Online porn is cheaper than producing many DVDs.

My point about the parody is about the overall quality of porn. Straight porn provides much better quality than transsexual porn. Most transsexual porn companies in the US are way behind in quality. The movies are still watchable, but they don't look great.

It's true that no one is forcing me to pay. I never made comment to that. I don't have a problem supporting companies that shoot American transsexuals. At least I get what I want some of the time when signing up for sites. I can remember times when I didn't download anything for a month from TS Seduction because their damn director Tomcat has made that site go downhill with very few great scenes to watch.

Brazzers isn't the only straight site. Naughty America, Bangbros, and Reality King are cheaper than transsexual sites.

They are cheaper because they can appeal to a larger amount of people while keeping the budgets pretty much the same. The transsexual niche (the BBW niche, the Asian niche, the Interracial niche, the Bukkake niche, etc, etc.) have much smaller prospective market than the companies you mention. If we had 100,000 potential members I could increase the amount of content AND lower the price - but we just don't have that many "potential" members. There is only so many people out there interested in buying TS porn and within that, many want different things. We compete with other sites/companies to get those members and sales but it's not limitless.


Let's not forget that Brazzers also are one of the main reasons the porn industry is in trouble, they also own many of the tube sites that are happy to steal content from other companies to promote their own sites.

Wow! The presumptuous arguing with the narcissistic! You can't buy tickets to a show like this!



You're both right about things and wrong about things but none of it matters because the one of you who could do something about it is more than happy with the status quo because it feeds his ego and his wallet.

Trannys are ONLY for straight guys... there's nothing gay about it...

That's not necessarily true- I would consider myself pretty much gay, but also dig trannys a lot.

It's ok, I do it, I'm married after all. Much rather suck cock or get fucked in the ass.
