where it all starts
why’s bttmintown?
@ name that is not coming from me
About 3 years ago, I decided to step into the gay porn industry when popular platforms like OnlyFans were doing so well. Since then, my life has completely changed. I remember the moment I tried to register for this OnlyFans site and was looking for a name to use. I ended up with something like ‘thefools…’ which is totally lame. It’s from one of the light novels I think is the best in the world, ‘Lord of Mysteries’. You should try to read it; once it kicks in, you won’t be able to do anything else.
Anyway, I think it’s my second collaboration with this gorgeous Russian stud who is not even doing porn. But he’s down to film without showing his face. He ended up cumming down my throat, and I think he liked it so much. He called his friend while I was resting, asking if his friend wanted to come over so we could go another round. During the conversation, I heard him saying, ‘we got a new bottom in the town,’ and I laughed. Somehow that became my stage name to this day..
Things start to get even more interesting after doing this for a while. I have my main job, but with such flexibility, I can usually travel anywhere I want and work online. So it becomes clear that this might get bigger than I was planning.
After being heartbroken for a while about having to pay a 20% commission to the platform, I think it’s better to get my own site and start doing everything myself. So yeah, there are a lot of bumps during the process, and I think I can share a few suggestions here and there for anyone who wants to start their own porn site.
This site that you are seeing right now is Bttmintown v 2.0 since the first one started to have quite a lot of errors on the backend. It turns out my dear theme developer has gone MIA and doesn’t update their work. So I decided to move everything to the new site, new hosting, new system.
Beside all the videos you can subscribe to and watch, I intend to do some blogs as well. I think it’s time to share what I learn, what I experience with the fellow normal folks who don’t think they can do it. You can do this, if you want to. It’s not going to be easy, especially from the start.
You can expect some blogs to be about quite serious issues. How about the gay porn business from a technical angle?
When I first dove in, no one handed me a manual on what to look for, how to prep, or what to do when you meet strangers. So I had to try and learn firsthand about everything.
How much can you expect to get from doing this?
How would you find someone to collaborate with?
What about all the gears, all the equipment you have to use for filming? Or is a simple, really good mobile phone and a ring light enough?
Then, in the program to edit the videos, what function would you at least be able to do?
How about when you want to build your own site? Find a hosting provider? And the biggest issue of all time… the payment processor?
And if you can’t find one, will there be any other way to avoid paying such a high fee to adult platforms such as OnlyFans or JustForFans?
The things we are all loves
Now, these are more fun things I would like to share 🙂
You all know, things are crazy in this industry. And small fish like me get my eyes opened to a world that doesn’t make much sense. There are good and bad in the mix. While the good part is fun to share the story with you, the bad part is a bit difficult. I don’t want to name some names that made my experiences hell, but at the same time, if they can do this to me, they can do it to others too. And I think it’s good that small fish like us help each other survive in this world.
The good staff members are plenty and always fun to gossip about. Want to know who’s the most punctual and responsible person I’ve collaborated with? How about the best kisser? Or the most passionate and sexually appealing person on and off the screen?
Whose edging session do I rank as my top 5 all-time hottest encounter? Who do I think is the hottest guy I have collaborated with? Which one of the studs do I wish could be my best friend off the camera because they are such a sweetheart?
There are a lot of funny moments during the film too! And some scary ones that were close to putting me into the hospital. But hey! This is what you have to face when meeting strangers for the 1st time.
So stay tuned! The blogs won’t update that often, but they’re coming.
