Or any idea why so many of us enjoy that?
And have you ever thought of doing a foot fetish site, similar to grooby2020 foot fetish scenes? It seems like groobygirls has the most shoots with this type of content.
No I don't have a foot fetish at all. I don't really understand it, but then whose to understand anyone's particular fetish.
I don't believe trans fans are more likely to be into feet, than other genres of porn.
I'm not looking to do a specific foot fetish site, but when more normality returns may do more specific scenes. But lots of scenes on GroobyGirls, Tgirls.xxx, BobsTgirls.com and Femout.xxx are shot with plenty of barefeet, soles, etc.
I dont know if you have seen "The Deuce", but if you have, could you imagine a similar show maybe limited to your company or transexual porn / scene? How would it start?
Anyway, just thanks for all your work!
...have to add a question, sry..: any chance we see Vivian Sparks, Stella Vayne, Oriana Frost, Lavender Lux, Juliette Stray, Janira, Gina Hart, Danielle Loven and Alyssah Adams again? (mostly red = win)
How many degrees do you think I have to set advance on my motorcycle ignition?
It's a 1979 H-D FLH
I’ve known Bonnie personally for about 5 years now.
She was post op when I met her and had been for a couple of years.
She is a lovely lady.
I don't think there would be enough interest in the story of trans porn although I've always been planning a book, it would be more of an album than a biography.Quote:

Thanks
Hi Steven - talked to you a few times at Cobra over the years - do you hear anything about a new club offering a TS night in LA since Cobra closed??
Thank you for answering!Quote:

Thanks
No - and I don't think it will happen. There are almost no trans type clubs left in the US. Trans has went more mainstream, and the girls don't want to go to bars/clubs where it's just exclusively that. They want to be in either gay-mix clubs or cis-mix clubs.Quote:

It's a shame because for the girls just finding their feet, or girls wanting a little support - or those who only dress part-time and looking for an outlet, there are less options now than 20 years ago.
Hey Steve, when will we get an all Black Tgirls orgy ? I've been waiting for it for a long time.
Unlikely. Costs + dynamics in shooting just don't make it an interesting prospect for me, and it's unlikely it would return its' budget.Quote:

But I don't have a fleet of cars, a private jet or multiple properties.Quote:

which stars have been nicest on set and which are the bitchiest?
If you could have anyone you wanted to narrate the story of your life who would it be?
Hi Steven, can you share any great stories about anything crazy that happen at a photo shoot or event?
Also Thank you and your great staff for everything you all do.
Any chance of reviving the "Grooby Comics" of a few years ago ?

Girls who have been nicest? Foxxy always comes to mind for almost all producers, she's lovely. Morgan of course. Korra, Casey, Lena, Shiri, Nat Mars, Nat Chen, Lianna, Melanie B, Aphrodite Adams, Ivory M, Daisy T, Natassia Dreams, the list goes on. Treat people with respect, and they'll usually give it back.
They're a bit dated and out of touch with today. I might work on something else but most of the stories would end up offending or triggering someone or other.Quote:

We googled her a bit, found out that she's been cis-female (presenting) who transitioned to trans male, and then de-transitioned back to female presenting but claimed to be trans female. Confused? We were. It's difficult because instead of me being able tell her she's either a fucking liar, or batshit crazy, I just had to dump the shoot, otherwise I'd be accused of not letting people be who they want to be (which I'm fine with unless I'm hiring you for something specific).
Lot's of comedy and horror shows surround poop or things flying out of asses.
Damazo slipping on cum and breaking his toe.
A model stealing my watch and my slippers !?!? - and then faking her death a few years later. I won't give her name but her initials are Lisa Cage!
A very overweight camera assistant appearing on set for Allanah's first shoot with me, wearing only his giant Y-fronts 'because it's too hot' - I kicked him out of the room.
Most of the stuff we see, or hear from sets we can't really talk about but most days I'm putting out a fire somewhere.

any possiblity of a Grooby take on the newhalf femboi cosplaying genre? sans the pixillation, preferably, but preferably with japanese models
Very unlikely with Japanese models unless a producer came to us from there. I find the Japanese extremely difficult to work with, their systems are very different to ours.Quote:

Personally, I believe in some sort of wall before you see explicit images (like the ones on this site!!!) and I think that's the way the internet has to go. On a business side of things, the spotlight on the tube sites and their wilful ignorance in removing content when asked is going to have a positive affect for companies like ours who stay within the law. For far too long have they leeched off the producers, and while I have and do make money off some of the tube sites, it's nothing compared to what they've cost us over the years. I see what is going on now as a catalyst for change and I've told people for years, to make the best of it now, as the free porn will change on the internet in the not distant future (the future is now).
The danger is, the US is never one to see the grey areas in politics like Europe does, and so divisive that there is a real danger of freedoms being trampled and porn being forced into legalisation making it harder for legit companies to operate. With the 'woke' left claiming that it's all sex-trafficking and abusive, and the religious right using sex-trafficking as the springboard for their own twisted dogmas - neither are listening to the women and men who work in adult entertainment or the millions of people who watch it.
do you listen to podcasts on the porn industry? have you listened to TTBoy or Holly Randall?
No. I've no interest in what either of them have to say really, and if I had a question for one of their guests then I'd just contact them privately.Quote:

For fans/supporters, I use this site, groobyforum and social media to get the temperature of things from a viewers perspective, but more often want to get feedback from the actual members as so many on social media, have never even paid for or joined a site.
I also read the Xbiz news daily. So I'm pretty much on top of everything going on from legal changes, to marketing, to any challenges that may be coming up ... as well as what affects our company specifically and not just the overall adult media.
I'm still lost on how tube sites make money. If they don't have subscribers and everything is free, is marketing money really that valuable? Are there actually that many people buying shitting sex products to make their dick bigger or semen thicker? Or paying to play some terrible game that promises to make them cum in 2 minutes?!?Quote:

When (like these two tubes) they share that income with the production houses, then it's actually a nice bit gravy for us all. We upload some older full length scenes from 2-4 years ago, and get a check each month.
The main income is from advertising. Anyone (yes you can do it!) can signup to get affiliate accounts to promote adult sites (eg, Groobybucks.com). The problem is, that for companies like ours who don't discount, or bang cards (see below) we only offer 50% of the sale, so a $35 sale, they get about $15 from (minus banking fees). So they end up promoting companies like Mindgeek or Gamma who pay them $40+ a sale. We promote them also, as they offer big discounts, and it's worth people joining - and we get paid. The reason they pay so much, is they both have so many sites to offer, they feel they can convert that customer into other sites, over months and years so their income is substantially more. They can offer cheap memberships for new buyers, as they will get them down the line (a different business model to Grooby who rarely discount, and when we do, we only do direct to customers and not via an affiliate).
However, the consumer going to a free porn site, doesn't convert very well. So while our usual conversions rates are under 1:150 (for every 150 people who come to the front door, 1 joins) when the traffic comes from a tube site it's more like 1:3000, so the tube sites don't make great money from us. The best money for them is dating, cam sites and pills. Both dating and cams have no production costs, and don't cost a lot to run - but take big sales. They also can't be pirated. Pills have a huge mark up and the companies who run them, often 'bang cards'. So what does 'banging cards' mean? When you join most adult sites, you will almost always see a pre-checked box offering a second site at a discount. We do that - and it's common internet marketing (not only adult, but cable subscriptions, travel companies, etc.). We are pretty upfront, and if there is a complaint as someone forgot to uncheck, we'll take care of them. The pill sites (or less legit sites) will offer a pre-checked 'free' site, or $1 site. Only after 3 days it rebills at $49.99. This doesn't show on the billing for the site, as the sneaky fuckers use a different processor. When you want to cancel, they make it as hard as possible. They can also 'bang' your card by adding purchases on it. So your tube site link to pills, may look like you are spending $30 but you get billed $150, and then the same the next month. So they pay the tube sites, for those links/banners as they can afford to pay $50-$100 a sale.
The losers are the producers who get their content stolen.
You are seeing a lot less pirated content now. Even tho our stuff can still be found, almost none of it is new, and we've software to track this. We've sued a lot of people over the past few years and won most, so got some income back that way. The days of the tube sites are very numbered, and I don't expect free porn to be around like it has been within the coming years, given the political profile it's had recently.
