Hmm, doesnt this as i remember correlate with TGs starting to appear in public tv programs for real?

The dating program with miriam, the tg in big brother and so forth.
maybe that kind of sparked some interest?

Not sure about this, was just a thought. Didnt do my research on when these things was, but rather cut in on instinct :P

Anyone remember Transgeneration? It came out around that time, too.

I was playing around with google analytics and found the interesting pattern of internet searches shown below. The red line is the number of "shemale" (the most common porn term for tg) searches and for comparison the blue line is the number of "gay" searches. You'll notice the gay line is basically flat across the time series while "shemale" sees an explosion of interest for two years starting at the end of 2005 and then dropping off and flattening out at the end of 2007.

So my question is, What the heck happened? One possibility is that this is the beginning of the Youtube/embedded video era and so people are suddenly searching for video porn but the gay line doesn't seem to respond and multiple other fetish searches show no movement (MILF, strap-on, femdom, cuckold, BBW, interracial, cumshots.) so what's so special about 2006-07 for transsexual porn?

I haven't read a Billion Wicked Thoughts, maybe it addresses this?

Interesting stats!


I started my career on Dec.23 2005, exactly on that period.

Most of girls tell me that those period (end of 2005 to end of 2007) were the best period of escorting.

I have to agree for Canadian market alone, when all of us in Toronto were busy at the time.

I've heard from one of my tgirl friends in London, UK market was also pretty good at the time. Some girls could easily charge 500 pounds an hour, is it true?

There were lots of legendary porn stars as well as tgirl escorts on that period as well.

LOL...i just wish i could go back to that time again

That's interesting.

Here's another graph: the number of TS movies made per year according to the Adult Film Database (www.adultfilmdatabase.com). It looks like maybe producers are responding to demand with a slight delay. With the huge new appetite and accessibility starting in 2006, TS movie production ratchets up year after year but after demand drops off in 2008, production is at its highest level and only corrects in 2009. Of course it's tough to separate out the effects of the recession and the move to web-only content instead of movies. Obviously I'm just guessing at all this and would love the input of industry folks.

Thats a typical credit crunch curve. Not a interesting as the first graph.

re 1st graph i thought of the first iphone but that was 2007, something about miriam t.v program was also aired in 2004 in UK (dunno about u.s) so erm.. there was also a program shot and on SKY about trannies and wives around 2004-2006 am sure, infact some friends off tvchix was on it...

looks like the real surge started around may 2005??? hmmm the same time as liverpool won the european cup

2005 was my 1st year i did amateaur shoots actualy (obviosuly nothing at all to do with this like) lolol may 2005 1st shoot, 1st escort job around august 2005.

Was there a big rollout of broadband in US during 2005?

[SammiValentine]

I noticed I also registered for tvchix in may 2005, deffo something in the water/air that year lol xx

[batman4ever]

it must have been the year i discovered internet *LOL*

[SammiValentine]

I would of thought the batphone was DSL enabled a lot sooner than that lol x

I suspect the growth of sites this this mean that many make it their port of destination rather than flailing in the wilds of the web. It is far easier to find what you are looking for with a direct and more focused search than back then.

[SammiValentine]

hmmm maybe it was when britney spears shaved her hair off.. but alas feb 2007. however....... does that mean she is to blame for the credit crunch???
