REDFLAG said:demand drives the price. from what ive been hearing, black women r the least desired in the mainstream. that aspect is starting to turn me off from porn
Actually, there are more Black titles being produced now than ever before. Every major company has created sepereate corporate divisions of their brands EXCLUSIVELY to produce ethnic and interracial product. Zero Tolerance creted Black Ice, Platinum X created The Candy Shop, Evil Angel signed Justin Slayer, Jules Jordan signed Alexander Devoe... while it may have been true years ago that Black women made less money based on demand of product - it just isn't true anymore... Hell, I'm shooting for Vivid on February 12th, Jada, Marie and Marcus were in the Vivid movie "Chemistry" that won awards at this month's AVN Awards, Ice La Foxx (who is, granted, Latina,) won best oral sex scene in a FILM, not in a video this year... and Jada Fire won best anal sex scene in a FILM - Not a video. The demand for Black women in porn has become greater over the years. While there are lots of less commercial looking newcomers that do not get the same type of money that others do... lots of us are demanding, and getting, rates that are on par with our white counterparts... Hell, my agent called me to tell me Vivid wanted me for this shoot, (and interracial scene with Marco Banderas,) and that they were haggling over $100. I declined - because even though its Vivid, its still Vivid... (meaning they can afford to pay my rates.) They agreed without hesitation. If I was being greedy.. or hungry.. I would have taken the lower rate just to get the job, and set a precedence for being willing to negotiate - setting myself back with future bookings. The truth is, that porn budgets are much bigger than they were in years past. Its a whole different game... And for the cat that said that Black are merely a niche market and whites have a more mass appeal... let me give you a bit of shocking detail... the majority of ethnic porn is not purchased by ethnic consumers. They are purchased by white consumers. That's why the majority of ethnic porn in years past fell into one of two categories.. assimilation or debased. In recent years, companies have found that the middle of the road product, the non-stereptypical scenes appealed to a different market... the ethnic and/ or urban consumer. The market is constantly growing.. and because of that, you guys can enjoy the type ofp orn you really like.. But when you are not a consumer - when you merely download for free, your buying habits are not taking into consideration when companies put together production budgets and schedules. Keep that in mind...
