Do you think there is a lack of TS hardcore scenes?

[GroobySteven]

Wow, TS get paid more than GG in the US? I would have never guessed that judging by some topics I've seen around here. Is it the same in Brazil?

Generally yes.

That explains why there is more tg on gg porn than tg on tg porn. Tough.

[EvaCassini]

Only tg I have been in a scene with was my girlfriend ( Jamie French ) but I really want to branch out to other tgirls, and I would love to be with a gg in a scene. I was so close to be in one with Ava Devine, but our schedules were screwy while we were visiting LA for the Awards.

Tg on tg is the best...

[Wendy Summers]

Generally yes.

To be fair (and maybe this is in part the confusion), OVERALL GGs make more money FROM porn than a comparable TS model.

That's a function of more work opportunities. At the moment I think there's 8 people controlling the purse strings of who hires American TS models. Even the most popular TS models have a limited number of sets per year she can shoot in.

GG's have a greater number of companies which hire them. Even at a lower pay rate, their overall income can and will exceed that of an comparatively popular TS performer.

I disagree, there are FAR more GG's working in porn than TG's. Only agency girls tend to get multiple shoots, many girls are barely seen.

You're still missing the point. Where would you go to book US models? There is no central booking agency and if there was, it probably wouldn't work.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Things are actually changing. Many producers and directors are now using twitter to contact pornstars. Many girls will post their emails on twitter for companies to contact them.

Look at Kink.com. Most of their sites feature genetic women from booking agencies. However, TS Seduction is a successful site. They have no problems booking and contacting TS pornstars. Don't tell me that Reality Kings would have such a hard time. Reality King is a bigger and more wealthy company.

A program owner has an obligation to themselves, their company and their staff. You're seriously naive to think mainstream or niche companies wouldn't go abroad to shoot non-US content, if they believed they could save money or increase the revenue.

That would not work for many reasons. First and most importantly American girls are in demand. White women are the best selling women in porn. That's why most porn features white women. Companies would be stupid to stop shooting them and go to South America to film most of their content. Many American porn viewers will not watch a non-white woman. That's a fact. Straight Companies would go out of business for making such a terrible business move.

TS producers and directors say that TS porn targets straight men. Yet, their porn doesn't truly display that. The majority of straight men mostly or only want to watch white women. The majority of TS porn doesn't feature white women. So maybe the TS porn industry is not making as much money as they could if they would shoot more white women.

I disagree, there are FAR more GG's working in porn than TG's. Only agency girls tend to get multiple shoots, many girls are barely seen.

This is so not true. There are many popular girls without an agency would do just fine. This only works once a girl is very popular. Lezley Zen, Nikki Benz(after she left penthouse), Eve Laurence, Lisa Ann, Jenna Presley, and Madison Ivy.

[GroobySteven]

It's like talking to a fucking turnip.

Ok, Franklin. You are right, you know far more about what's going on in the industry than I do. Why don't you use that soup in your brain, to go and get a loan and show everyone how it's done.

Speaking as a consumer I personally like sites like reality kings that show more Brazilian content than American content in their TS section. No offense to American TG's out there but when RealityKings TS section was only American TG's when they first started the girls weren't very attractive. Some were but in my opinion most weren't. When they switched to Brazilian TG's there was, in my opinion a huge difference in attractiveness. I hardly ever went to that section until they switched to Brazilians. The girls were just amazing. Breast implants and nice asses and about 99% of them were extremely passable and they seem to never run out of hot ones. Also add to the fact that Yago was the main guy with all these girls and I don't think he has ever been a bottom with a TG. He is always a top and never gives head which helps most straight men rationalize being straight but watching TG porn. I think most guys watching TG scenes (and I can only really speak for myself) are straight and don't want to see a guy sucking the dick of a TG. For example when I watch TG scenes, I skip the parts where the guy might be sucking off a TG or getting fucked by a TG. I honestly think most guys think like me. Sure you have guys who feel the opposite but I don't think they are the majority of the consumers.

PS. I meant no disrespect. I think there are some amazing American (not Brazilian) TG. Jane Marie, Kim Bella, Kimber James, Foxxy, Mia Isabella, Hannah Sweeden etc. but like someone said a lot of them shoot their own content.

I'm a switch, a versatile bitch.

I'll happily fuck or get fucked by girls, guys, t-girls, t-guys, androgynes, and any type between the lines!

And porn-economics is an intriguing topic. I had no clue at all how the industry worked until I got into it myself, and it's an understanding that is rapidly evolving. I really appreciate the analysis and behind-the-scenes info that seanchai brings to the table.
