AMA - Steven Grooby (Ask Me Anything)

[GroobySteven]

why would the margins be tighter shooting in brazil or s. americca? isn't the cheaper model rate more competitive than in n. America?? I thought this is why all those evil dudes-joey,nacho,jay et.al. were doin all these girls??is it the travel costs and production difficulties??

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.

Do you remember being at Tony Vee's house and helping him shoot Monica's hard core vid? it ends up with her giving her partner a facial for the ages. Monica was CD not trans but a total hottie and sweetheart.
The vid was part of a 5 part set of Tony's (and mine) favorite New York girls. Attachment 1060979 circa 2005

Somewhere in the recess I remember being there. My memory is horrible on some of this stuff.

as trans people have access to other jobs/professions, are you getting less demand for performers?

and how come most ts porn these days is American more than Brazilian?

Your first question, I'll answer with two questions a) Do trans people have access to other jobs/professions? I don't think that's changed at the same rate that we are seeing more trans people around and
b) Your assuming that people are taking jobs as performers as they don't have other options.

We see more applicants year on year to model for us.


How come most TS porn is American, I answered above but simplest answer is that is sells better. Realistically there is very little TS porn made in the US or other places though, so it wouldn't take much to skew it elsewhere.

Who has to clean up the , um, fluids, after a shoot ?

Depends where they land. If it's on the floor/bed clothes, then the producer.

I can totally see that in effect.the viewers want to understand the dialogue and stuff..ive noticed on the chat/cam sites that even though the Latina/s.american girls might be smoking hot but a girl speaking with the viewers in English who is kinda hot will have tons of viewers..

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.
