Lurker crossing over to the other side

Hi everybody. I have been reading and benefiting from GWW posts for many months, and I suppose it's time to start contributing. I have met several of you at conferences, although I haven't been too active in the industry since releasing some DVD's (Lust in Translation, That Touch of Twink - Lucas Distribution).

I am preparing to launch a paysite of original/exclusive content from Argentina. Since Argentina is such a Catholic, macho, family-oriented society, most of the hot straight guys I found were unwilling to do more than photos and j/o videos, so the site will start as a solo site, with about 20 initial models and a new boy each week. I'm in the process of editing thousands of photos and endless hours of video, and hope to have the site online by early 2008 (if all porn isn't already free by then!).

Sounds a bit like Fratmen, huh? Well, although I wouldn't dare try to compete with Fratmen (nor could I!), that site has inspired me a lot, and John Marsh was one of the first people to give me advice about starting such a website. Several of you (although you may not remember) have also been very helpful at conferences (Steve-friskyfans, Brian-corbinfisher, Chip, Jake-jakecruise, Jasun, Keith-titan, Mark-lavenderlounge, Rand and others). Although this industry often gets a bad rap, I have been impressed by the intelligence, moral character and humor displayed by those I have met and other members on this board (well....not all members of this board...but you know who you are....and who you are NOT!)

Anyway, I look forward to meeting many of you in LA later this month, and hopefully working with you in the coming months.

welcome, eldorado. glad to see you've decided to stop lurking and join us here :)

btw, solo sites have plenty of fans, and especially if your tour explains WHY the guys are solo. good luck with all your editing, and keep us updated on your site's progress!

Welcome to the other side.

Can you put me on your list of people to contact when your site is up? I may like to promote it on Gay Porn Pig.

Thanks for the welcome, basschick, and the advice. With so much hardcore content out there, often indistinguishable, I'm hoping that a solos site can still be successful, especially if the boys are unique/personable/fresh, and not just hustlers plucked off a street corner (not that there's anything wrong with plucking a hustler off a street corner!)

Nope. I'm back LA these days, but expect to return in the coming months. I'll certainly get in touch with you when I'm there.

That would be great! Let's stay in touch and the next time you are way down south we will have to have dinner. We have been here 6 months so far and are loving it!
