i’ve spent thousands of dollars on camera equipment
i post it online, in 4k, for free, and there’s no way to pay me for the content
i do it because i like the exhibitionism (among other things)
i do it because in the sex-positive communities i prefer to associate with, it’s like posting your day to facebook
i do it because the camera pushes me to imagine new and interesting things to do
i do it because it helps me meet people with similar tastes that aren’t flakey and are equally sex positive and non-judgemental
there’s an enormous amateur community (that often becomes professional) that makes porn because they want to… money is a nice thing to help buy new gear for porn, but it’s not the primary concern
