A major problem with shemale porn

That is not correct. There is demand for a lot of American Transsexuals such as Vanity, Jessica Host, Yasmin Lee, Foxxxy, etc. Go check out some other transsexual forums and most people will know the names of the American Transsexuals before anyone outside of the states.

Anything can have high demand and not produce. I have a few hobbies which many people enjoy. There are high demands for certain products, but the companies just ignore them.

I know this topic is months old but I have something to say.

The more and more I look at shemale sites the more discrimination I see against American Shemales. Very few companies are will to shoot them. Most of these girls are more popular than the majority of foreign T-Girls. There is no way in hell that an unpassable foreign shemale should have more movies than someone like Vanity. It has noting to do with the girl being fore foreign. It just a fact that Vanity is extremely popular. Why do plenty of unknown girls have more scenes than Vanity? Kimber James has less scenes than plenty of unpopular or unknown foreign shemales.

Shemale Yum, Shemale Pornstar, Shemale Club, T-Girl Network, and TS Seduction are the main producers of English shemale porn. That is five sites out of hundreds of pay sites. That is huge!

Look at other types of porn. Most other types of porn are filmed in all languages and plenty of each language.

Perhaps it comes down to cost? It could be that a model of Kimber James' (I'm just using her name as an example) stature would cost a company more money than some of the relatively unknown models from Brazil? I have no idea if this is the case or not, but it sounds plausible. Tom Cruise can command(or at least he could in his heyday) twenty million dollars to star in a movie, yet the studio could hire numerous lesser known actors for the same total price. Perhaps this is an example of something similar?

Sigma, the world is bigger than America, as I'm sure you know. Producers make what their markets will bear and what their markets demand. Lots of paysite owners are not American or native speakers of English. Perhaps their interest in models from their own countries is thus understandable? It certainly isn't "discrimination." There's a lot of discrimination suffered in the world that makes what you call discrimination here pale in comparison.

Demand.

American girls like Vanity, Wendy Williams, Yasmine Lee, Jessica Host, Bailey Jay(recently started hardcore), Foxxy, Kimber James, and many other American transsexuals are more in demand than the majority of foreign transsexual girls. So why do they still have very little content compared to many foreign transsexual girls?

I understand that they want to respect the demands of their own countries. Most counties are getting what they are demanding for in transsexual porn. However, American transsexual fans are not getting nearly as much as they are demanding for.

And you know this based on what data? Econometric analyses of the market for transsexual pornography? A recent study of consumers that with results that have been released to the public? Or is it based on your own demand not being met to your personal satisfaction?

I mean, really, such generalizations are quite ridiculous. The porn industry is one of the most hugely successful in the entire world. I have absolutely no doubt that if the full demand for TS porn in the United States is not be being met, that some enterprising individual or firm is doing everything possible to capitalize on the latent market.

There are 193 countries and about 6500 languages.

And only the Americans don?t get what they demand. What an unfair world.

Ok, I think I'm fairly qualified to answer this.
Shooting US TS models is difficult and expensive. Finding the models (and customers quickly get bored of the same faces) is somewhere difficult and when escorts get paid almost as much for a 1hr date than they do for a shoot, then it's hard to get them motivated. Why don't we pay them more? Because the budget, determined by the sales, just isn't there. Shooting in the US is fraught with other issues, legal ones, finding somewhere to shoot (added expenses), etc. also. Shemale Yum (and Grooby) are in an excellent position to get US models, that's why most of them start on one of our sites before you see them elsewhere AND the US models (or English speaking models) do return more money than the omnipotent, Brazilian ones. Grooby can do this, because as a company we have a unique set up of being in the industry for 14 yrs, having photographers across the US/Canada/UK and having a great reputation and branding. We also are into the scene and go to clubs and such.

Now, most companies are "corporate" types. They want to buy the content and churn it out on sites. We have some Brazilian sites which do very well and they run at a cheaper budget, the models all show on time and they will do whatever we want, for the camera. They do this because economically it's better for them, because they're in countries with different economies the pay they get (roughly 30-50% of what we pay US models) goes a lot further down there. So companies, without contacts find it easier to shoot there content there, to produce it cheaper and to get it onto their websites. They're not bothered about quality of English speaking as they are relying on numbers of people joining short-term, rather than companies like mine looking for long term repeat business.

Hope this answers your question somewhat.
