This isn't exactly new, but I think is becoming a larger market. It's something that "camgirls" have been doing for quite some time, but I've never heard of anyone doing it with this kind of production value. Probably the biggest place these days for this is clips4sale, but there are a lot of smaller sites.

Stick to a reputable exchange that you can be comfortable enforces 2257 age records keeping requirements. It's possible to find ads on /r/SexSells and such but this is a terrible idea.

It a little weird to me to call it porn, all of the described bespoke videos include nothing of what could be considered a sexual nature (to the conventionally minded I suppose )- you could display them on network TV in the USA when children are watching without the FCC's wrath (unless they showed the women peeing graphically and they really didn't describe the nun video very well). They sound more like customized th…

The graphicness depends on the customer's request, but can of course be very explicit. A common euphemism in the community is colors such as "yellow", "red" and "brown", which I'm sure you can figure out what they correspond to.

Thanks for the clarification. The writer should have been more clear like you - or maybe I was too literal into thinking what was written was everything.

Yeah, I found that confusing, unless The Guardian is just being extremely coy?

I'm guessing it's because the economy of paying people to make titillating videos of somehow-not-actually-sex is far more puzzling (and interesting in a non-prurient way) than the economy of paying people to make titillating videos of sex

> Fourth, PornHub is owned by MindGeek which also owns Brazzers, Mofos, DigitalPlayground, Twistys, RealityKings, and has many relationships with other producers. You see a lot of full length movies on Pornhub...

You really know your porn...

I hope they're careful about the custom videos they make. Just last week the RCMP were searching for the woman who made a video apparently confessing to an Anthrax hoax -- who it turns out was paid to make the video via Fiverr. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/how-a-north-carolina...

Why do you care if they are careful or not?

You watch a lot of porn. Not judging, just impressed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I suppose they're only "safe for TV" because they're so unusual to be custom-made in the first place. The moment your preferences move away from sex, most of the market abandons you. So long as they have a sexual significance to the people who pay to view them, though, I would call them porn.

What do you mean by most of the market abandons you? I'm actually confused on this one.

Well there's no "women in heels stomping on stamp sheets" section on pornhub, is there?

Is this true? And if so, why?
