What would you be doing today if you were not in porn? - GoFuckYourself.com

Paul Markham · 06-15-2010, 06:55 AM

Imagine you had never taken up employment in the porn industry, making, pushing or supporting and tell us what you think you would be doing now.

I'll start.

In the 80s I was a successful office furniture salesman selling big installations of furniture and interiors. I was building a good portfolio of pensions that were designed to come good after 2000, plus an apartment in London and would pay enough for me to retire and sit on a beach in Thailand.

Found porn, loved it, had more fun and made more money than the selling job and quit in 1988 to follow my dream of shooting naked girls.

Still got the pensions and the beach is calling me.

Barefootsies · 06-15-2010, 06:59 AM

I honestly have no clue.

I took my passion for feet and turned my hobby into a business. So I don't see myself doing anything else any time in the near future, if ever. Especially considering my production costs are so low, and the way I shoot content on volume,.... that this industry could get a whole lot worse than it is right now and I can still remain profitable.

I do not think I could ever return to corporate America.

Nicky · 06-15-2010, 07:06 AM

Computer technician I'd guess since my education is just that. Probably be sitting at some company telling other employees for the 27th time to not use their nickname as password. urgh

Amputate Your Head · 06-15-2010, 10:07 AM

I would still be in Advertising / Graphic & Audio Design... just not in porn.

CarlosTheGaucho · 06-15-2010, 10:08 AM

Have a successful track record of working mainstream jobs

It's actually easier to work in mainstream than in porn, the environment is lot less retardation and much more appreciation

Although I sure can't complain right now and the freedom is everything

iseeyou · 06-15-2010, 10:35 AM

gynecology or maybe zoology.

AcidMax · 06-15-2010, 10:59 AM

I would be either a police officer or a helicopter pilot at this point. At this point programming for porn is wearing on me after so many years.

Ginn · 06-15-2010, 01:54 PM

I would be a teacher

Phoenix · 06-15-2010, 02:14 PM

We were ceramic tilers up until 6years ago. So the ceramic picture is quite amusing

Both Natalie & I would tile kitchens, bathrooms & conservatorys. Making them look beautiful!

Roby · 06-16-2010, 02:57 AM

Build new business

CurrentlySober · 06-16-2010, 03:01 AM

I'd probably be doing 10 - 15 years for something I would have done when I was young.

I wouldn't mind a job where guys didn't pull their dicks out

TheDoc · 06-16-2010, 05:15 AM

If never no Internet.... I would be a Cop or working with law enforcement at some level.

With the Internet just no porn, I would be doing what I do now, without the porn. Local business marketing/sales and I might have opened a design company.

Law enforcement was my first choice when I was at high school, I wanted to become a forensic psychologist or a criminal investigator

Unfortunately, the local status quo is so pathetic that comparing locals to FBI is like comparing grade school juniors to Dallas Cowboys

so I chose a technical college instead

At least I could spend some time in commercial law during that time, very valuable experience

A programmer once told me it wears you out after some years. Is that true?

Know plenty of people, not only programmers

I'd say unless you're a real perv, after a couple years porn wears you out like crazy
