Who are your porn mentors?
Flame wars and the like are a fact of board life but last night I was thinking about how without the help of some people I never would have been able to get to where I am at the moment.
So, I thought it was time to give shout outs to the good people in the industry. The people that have been - for lack of a better term - your porn industry mentors.
For me, I think the two people that if they did't exist I would have packed up and returned to the hell that was being a travel agent are Lisa Marie and Les of Thumblords, Go Postal, Hardbody Cafe, etc. When I was first starting to play with this part-time almost 5 years ago I wrote a couple emails looking to exchange links with other tgps and Lisa Marie reached out and helped me. So, much so that within a month I was reviewing for JJJ and did so for 4 years.
Todd - Sextoyking - reached out to me when things weren't going so well and has put me down a path that feels closer to success than I have been for a long time.
Other mentions:
Oscer - just a class act, nice guy with a lot of patience
Crow and others at pcbbs - not plugging other boards but when I went there for the first time there weren't many if any other boards. If Crow hadn't replied to a 'cry for help' post I posted I would have packed up. Tam replied to that thread too as well as a number of others that helped to show me you can make money in this industry.
Okay, so that is enough of being nice but the turn of others. Put down the flame torches for a second and let us know who your porn mentors have been.
