If someone chooses to be a shemale, tranny, ladyboy or whatever I really don’t have a problem. If someone gets aroused by a shemale, tranny, ladyboy or whatever I really don’t have a problem. But I do have a question, who first thought “I’m bored and need money. Perhaps I’ll go and take some photos of a few pre-op male-to-female transsexuals and sell them to people.” And why did they think this? Did they think it was an easy way to keep the mind occupied and make some money?
I’m pretty sure that Mr Bubbles, or whatever the first purveyor of ladyboy porn was called, didn’t carry out extensive market research on the streets of towns and cities around the world.
Mr Bubbles: “Excuse me sir, do you have a few moments to answer a few market research questions?”
Joe Public: “Why yes I do.”
Mr Bubbles: “Are you a single gentleman sir?”
Joe Public: “Yes.”
Mr Bubbles: “And do you enjoy an evening’s pornography once in a while?”
Joe Public: “I’d be lying if I said no.”
Mr Bubbles: “Do you like pornography showing intercourse between men and women?”
Joe Public: “Yes”
Mr Bubbles: “How would you feel if the man and woman in your pornography were combined into one?”
Joe Public: “What, with eight limbs and two heads?”
Mr Bubbles: “No that would be weird; I’m talking about a woman with a dick.”
Joe Public: “Sounds OK to me.”
I’m pretty certain the sort of conversation outlined above never actually happened.
Also; after Mr Bubbles, or whoever, had taken his photos and managed to sell them to someone who would publish them onto the Internet did people find them? I’ve been watching TV for about 22 years now and I can honestly say I’ve never seen an advert for a shemale website. Confused.com is perhaps the closest we’re going to get – at least in my lifetime. How did the popularity of such sites spread? Word of mouth?
Sam: “Hi mate, good weekend?”
Bill: “Yeah not bad, spent most of the time surfing the net”
Sam: “See any good porn?”
Bill: “As it happens, I did. I found a site which catered for my every need – and could do the same for you.”
Sam: “Big tits was it?”
Bill: “No my friend. Shemales.”
Sam: “Shemales? Are they some kind of woman with a penis – that is a fantasy I’ve been having for years but I would have never imagined that they actually existed. My goodness when I get home I too will look at pictures of shemales, and probably pay for the privilege.
Can’t see that happening to be honest. I can understand curiosity drawing people to the strange world of the ladyboy – in the same way the Victorians would pay to see people with horrible deformities dancing for pennies. But to subscribe to one of the thousands of web-sites devoted to this topic – surely there isn’t a large enough market. Or maybe there is….
Finally, they’re not chicks with dicks they’re men with boobs.
