I dunno, thought this was an interesting read, it's kinda about us.

Rumpus:Why and when did you get involved in the sex industry?
Trouble: I learned how to make a website at 16. By age 19, I made NoFauxxx.com. People from “Fat Girl Breakdown” bought memberships and I made $75/ week from that. I got a job doing phone sex when I was 18, and had always had a fascination about sex workers or being a sex worker as I was growing up. I was really drawn to memoirs of sex workers, books about sex, photo books. I did photography all throughout high school and in college, I discovered the first “alt porn” sites and decided that I was going to maybe try to be on them, or get my friends to be on them. After seeing that these “alternative” and “empowering” sites were the same formula as mainstream porn sites (plus tattoos) I decided I would try to start my own site that was more inclusive of different bodies, races, and gender identities. From the beginning I had boys and transfolk on the site, as well as BBWs (big beautiful women) and all different kinds of hipsters, hippies, hot nerds, skaters, rockers and it just sort evolved from there. I never had any intention of staying in the porn industry. I was just 19 and didn’t wanna do phone sex for the rest of my life.
Rumpus:When did you start making queer porn?

Trouble: “Queer porn” didn’t exist in 2002 except for Sspread.com (easily the first queer porn site, although it didn’t use that word [it is also no longer online]) and SIR Productions, which also didn’t call itself “queer,” but its movies were obviously not just basic lesbian porn. I actually didn’t know about either of those things when I started in 2002. I just wanted to make porn and keep it real. The reality of my community has always been a gender-fluid, sexually open, radically political and diverse crowd, and when people started using the word “queer” to describe themselves, I made the tagline of NoFauxxx.Com “Subversive Smut made by Ladies, Artists, and Queers” and that’s really the birth of the term.
Rumpus: What are some challenges you face as a queer pornographer?

That's Courtney Trouble, I met her in Berlin. She's moved into "real porn" i.e. film so she's getting more press lately.

NoFauxxx is an interesting site, it doesn't stick to the usual genres. It's got an affiliate program but only offers 25%. Still, I make a few sales because it's different.
