There are a lot of domains and businesses being bought and sold in the industry right now, arguably more than ever before.  For big ticket transactions it’s always wise to use a reliable third party escrow service as a means of protecting both the buyer and seller.

Over the years I’ve noticed that escrow services, both within the industry and mainstream, charge a hefty fee for brokering these transactions.  I have not done an in depth study on this, but it seems that 10 percent is a common fee.  I must assume if an attorney is paid to manage the escrow his or her fee will be as much, if not greater.  And if that attorney also represents one of the parties there is a clear conflict of interest.

The other day I was chatting with on old friend that’s been in the adult business as long as yours truly.  He was telling me about the very lucrative sale of a domain he owns to an Israel based company.  My first question was had he employed a third party escrow service.  He said, “yes, Escrow.com.”  I had not heard of them and asked what their fee was for brokering the transaction.  He told me they are charging him less than one percent.  Well, I about fell out of my chair when I heard that.

He went on to say that he’s used them several times over the years and is very happy with the service.  One of the things he likes about them is they have a process that keeps things moving forward, so the sale can not get bogged down by one or both parties dragging their heels.

I visited the Escrow.com web site and looked at their fee calculation page.  Sure enough, their service fee is as low as 0.89 percent.  Transactions less than 25k are charged a higher percentage, but it still comes in way below 10 percent.

I am not in a position to recommend Escrow.com, as I’ve never used their services.  Even so, I think they are worth investigating as an alternative to the more expensive options out there.

There are some commonly used phrases in Gay porn that make me want to scream every time I see them used.  Or should I say over used?  They are often so ridiculously absurd it boggles the mind why someone would think it turns on the consumer.  Let’s explore some, shall we?

return the favor
This one is SO overused it’s pathetic.  Has everyone forgotten the word reciprocate?  Or is that too big of a word for both the writers and readers of Gay porn descriptions?  How about “wanting to please his partner equally” for a nice change?

take it like a champ
Champ, short for champion, alludes to the winner of a sporting competition.  I thought these guys were having sex!  While there are some exceptions, most of the time sex is not a sporting event, nor is it an endurance trial.  It’s supposed to be fun!  HELLO???

for all its worth
I’m sorry, but can someone please tell me how much riding a cock or sucking dick is worth these days?  Does the price differ depending on the cock in use?  Does the director tell the model exactly how much its worth, so he will deliver just the right performance?

taking one for the team
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest there isn’t one single guy in gay porn today that considers himself part of anyone’s team.  What is it with everyone wanting to turn sex into a team sport?

not to be out done
Here we go again with sex being compared to a competition.  This isn’t about who can spit the furthest.  It’s SEX!

took it like a trooper
Well, I suppose if we are describing something within the military or uniform niche this would be a nice play on words.  Trooper is a horse-cavalry soldier, or mounted (horseback) police officer.  OH, I get it!  He’s being fucked by a guy who’s hung like a horse.  Actually, as an idiom, it means with great energy, enthusiasm, or display.  But why does everything in porn have to be described like its some sort of competition or unpleasant ordeal?

to be reckoned with
When used to describe a person this phrase means of considerable importance or influence.  A person that is famous.  But in most cases the context suggests “a force to be reckoned with”, which once again implies all this sex consumers are watching is some sort of competition or test of endurance.  WOW!  That’s a real turn on!

works it with precision and skill
What?  Is he a doctor doing open heart surgery?  I didn’t know precision was a requirement for good sex.  Last time I checked, sex was about passion and lust.  But some people want to turn it into a dance contest.

like a pro
Can someone please tell me exactly what the difference is between a professional and amateur cock sucker?  At what point did being a professional at sex become a turn on for consumers?  Or is its use supposed to be some sort of comparison to a pro athlete? It would not surprise me, considering how many other commonly used porn phrases find their roots in contact sports.

While this is a bit of a tongue and cheek look at commonly used gay porn phrases, I would really appreciate it if those writing descriptions would climb out of their rut and use some creativity for a change.

GayWired, an entertainment news portal for the gay community, has been acquired by Unzipped Media. According to Unzipped Media, GayWired will continue to provide a daily roundup of breaking news, politics, entertainment, photos, and gossip from a progressive, youthful viewpoint that speaks to the LGBT community and pop culture fans alike.

“Gays and lesbians have always been savvy when it comes to popular culture, and GayWired is a long-standing destination for gay entertainment news on the Web,” said Dustin Tyner, the Group Publisher of Unzipped Media.

Touted as a sexy take on pop culture while providing content that’s 100% safe for work, GayWired is one of the oldest, most established gay portals on the Web.  The acquisition allows Unzipped Media to reach outside of the adult marketplace and become a diverse entertainment company.

Lately I’ve noticed a trend with sponsor text descriptions that really annoys me.  I’ve never been a fan of telling consumers what they want or how they will respond to it.  So when I see text informing surfers they are going cum while watching a particular video it makes me want to scream.  How can you possibly know what the reaction will be from everyone that watches your video?

This and the ever popular blab bla bal…JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT statements may work with the straight boys, but I’d like to think gay consumers are a bit more sophisticated.  I personally do my best to avoid insulting the intelligence of people I’m trying to sell something to.

Tell them how much YOU liked it, and that it’s just what YOU like to see in a gay porn flick, but don’t presume to know what hits each individual’s hot button.  You run the risk of loosing credibility by trying to inform people of something they know you can not possibly conclude about them.

The new IE 8 web browser is making its way onto computers now and it definitely looks at pages differently.  If you haven’t already done so, I strongly suggest testing all your sites with the new browser.

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of text descriptions for promotional content that includes the words “like a pro”.

He stroked his dick like a pro.
These two fucked like a couple of pros.
He sucks cock like a real pro.

Can someone please explain to me what it’s like when I guy jacks off like a pro?  Exactly what is the difference between his technique and that of an amateur wank?

I realize after you’ve written a couple of thousand of these things it gets difficult to find new ways to say “hot and horny and waiting for you”, but come on folks.  Enough with the “like a pro” crap…alright?

Noted adult industry attorney Gregory Piccionelli has written an open letter to the adult industry calling for support of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP).

The letter discusses the current changes coming to DC with President-elect Barack Obama. Piccionelli states in the letter that, “It is very unlikely that either the Obama administration or the current congress will engage moral activism in any manner resembling what we’ve seen under the Bush Administration. But while federal obscenity and 2257 prosecutions are far less likely under Obama that they have been under Bush, there is a greater likelihood that congress and the new administration will revisit the issue of how to best protect children from the exposure to adult content.”

Piccionelli goes on the discuss how this is a “a golden opportunity for change” and that “no adult industry organization is better positioned than ASACP to credibly advance the idea that government actions regarding sexual content should focus exclusively on effective protection of children.”

Founded in 1996, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet. ASACP battles child pornography through its CP reporting hotline, and by organizing the efforts of the online adult industry to combat the heinous crime of child sexual abuse. ASACP also works to help parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate material online.
