It's a good chance that the reason you haven't seen a ponyboy website is that no one has gotten to it yet. And that is a big issue in our market. The next big issue is content, this isn't something you'll readily find content for, so it will typically need to be custom.Quote:

If there is a market offline, then there is a great chance there is a market online. From what I've read and heard so far (here and offline), it's simply a sub niche that hasn't found a home yet.Quote:
I honestly dont know if gay men might find ponyboys erotic or not. Surely gay men enjoy studs, even in bondage, leather and pierced etc. But there is an entirely different mentality when dealing specifically with pony play just as there is with puppy play.
I think the reasoning it hasn't been done would come down to cost of content and potential revenue (this probably wouldn't make a trillion dollars but would sell). I don't think it is whether gay men would like it or not - which is a trap a lot of people get caught in. Let's get you out of that trap ;)

Gary Alan, as someone who currently promotes Pony Boys and you do very well... can you tell me how you are promoting?
We are getting a new console for that site so I'm gonna want to talk to you and lee about that as well.. and Lee honey, thank you SOOO much for giving me that time on the phone yesterday, I learned a lot!
as I have here as well!!
You all are the Best!!
I agree that there is likely a market for it online but is the cost of creating and promoting such a micro niche worth it if only a few members eventually join. I have already said and believe that any true niche will have a much more loyal following if the content is there for updates. But with micro niches it would seem, in this case specifically, that the cost of creating the content would impede any eventual profit the site may make. This niche is not just 2 guys fucking, it involves a serious cost for costumes and such. I use this example since we are discussing it but really any fetish that involves extra items other than the guys there would be part of the overall site cost. I would also think that micro niches like this demand unique exclusive/semi exclusive content since it is not regularly found in plug ins.Quote:

In this particular aspect of ponyboys you may be correct and certainly, as I have always said, porn is fantasy that has become reality with the user still being anonymous. So there are men overall that may enjoy this and fantasize about it. But there are also some niches that I think are specifically gay or straight...such as I have rarely seen gay bukkake and in real life I know of few guys into it. But I know a bloody load of girls that love it. Just my 2cents :) I love this discussion!Quote:

My first reaction to the site was that the site was pretty and loaded fast, but I saw a lot of the images on other sites (probably purchased from Ounique).
Until I read the other posts here, I had NO idea that it was about the pony fetish.
Do your homework!

You're right in a lot of what your saying. I just want you to avoid the 'trap' - just because you don't see a lot of paysites online doesn't mean it shouldn't be online for the gay market.
In your reference to bukkake, that's huge. Especially in the gay market. Just few have put it online OR it get's lumped into facial. And getting lumped in to one site happens to a lot of good gay content.

Sweetie to be honest... I do very little promotion for it. In vegas I promised you exit links and that's exactly what I gave you ;)Quote:

Yeah Mitch, me too. There are few other jobs where being as open as I am about my sexuality and fetish interests are accepted, let alone encouraged. In fact, here it's actually a benefit! LOL!Quote:
