Why no site exists to satisfy this niche, I also know the reason and I feel like I have a plan to combat that reason.

My budget is $50,000 in equity plus $20,000 in liability (aka credit card at 0% APR).

The only concern I have is: Is the demand actually there? So I posted the keyword tool figures to try to gauge if this is actually a viable niche or not.

I have a business plan, and I believe I have things quite organized, as finance and logistics are my day job, but it's hard for me to actually project revenue....

If I can hit 1000 members a month, that will be enough to make this entire venture worth it for me in terms of covering opportunity cost, expenses, and debt.
You seem to have a lot covered. A lot more than most start ups in porn. The only gap I see is shooting, it's about dealing with models. Camera skills can be picked up, people skills are tougher. Maybe in your niche you can get devotees to model.

If you can 1,000 members a month then on a normal paysite at $30 a month you're going to be a millionaire soon. Because in a hard to find niche retention will be awesome.

Good luck and keep us informed.
