Jason Sechrest to Internet porn producers: Buy more beds

Publicist/blogger/entrepreneur Jason Curious is not too happy with the state of the porn industry, not one bit. He wants all of you stars to stop lying about making $3000 a scene when you are really making, uh, $50 (?), and Jason also thinks it would be nice if all you studios stopped hogging models and making them your exclusives. I'll co-sign the latter point if it means we can hire Leo Giamani and Tony Buff to be our office's nude receptionists. Also, Jason would appreciate it if you web-based studios would please invest in some new furniture for your models to fuck on. Agreed!

While he doesn't have any tangible solutions to the decline in industry profits—other than shutting down the Internet, does anyone have any suggestions?—Mr. Curious makes a great point in acknowledging the lack or artfulness in today's porn:

At this moment in the history of adult entertainment, every performer, every studio, every web site...is entirely replaceable.

It's a humbling time for us.

The minute we accept it for what it is will be the beginning of figuring out how to stay afloat while continuing to make quality erotica. The upside is it will likely weed out those who were in it for the greed while those who are in it for the love of what they consider to be an "art" will be left standing.
