Effects of Trump victory on porn

[hyapet]

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the talent will always remain cheap or affordable.

Everything is in relation to it's surroundings. Studios like Natasha Teen and Latin Girls and Yummy were probably getting a lot less sales when NRX was still up and running. Just the nature of the beast. Meaning, when those scenes didn't sell as well as they are doing now, the girl's shooting for them couldn't really make the case for increasing their pay.

But with the evaporation of the Russian market - alongside Europe and NA going more heavily into OF - these Latina girls are starting to wise up to the value they bring into the traditional porn market. Their beauty was always spectacular, but they were seen as loose and cheap and easy compared to a blonde haired blue eyed bombshell from Russia decided to take two black telephone poles up her bum at the same time. Now that those Russians are gone - the value of the Latina girls likewise has been put into a different context.

What's the plan, though? Just shoot some scenes? Will there be a theme that ties the shoots together? Will the equipment be on par for the shoots to be taken as professional? Will you distribute on Pornbox, or create your own website? How are you going to find not just the traffic, but the customers willing to pay? Will the models you have lined up be the quality needed to compete and make people actively search that content out? Like ...

Is it just a plan to go and shoot some scenes for fun? I mean, nothing wrong with that.

But, if you're actually thinking of stepping foot into South America, I would advise you to have an absolutely air-tight plan with reliable and trusted partners in a completely safe and vetted environment. That sounds impractical, but, even worse, even if that's the situation when you arrive, that situation can change.

I really advise against going the South American route. Even importing the girls. Rates change. If one girl becomes a big hit - and she knows it - she'll ask for a lot more for the upcoming scenes. This is a very tricky business.

Like - I would be more interested in finding a way to subvert the base reality of what exists in Europe to my advantage - rather than go through the process of adding a whole series of extra steps, each of which has the potential to fall through or put everything else, including yourself, into jeopardy.

I mean, you do you. But, when it comes to South America, let me just put it like this ...

Nothing is ever what it really seems.

True, but their fees will be based on their local market first. And so far since 2,5years of War in Europe their local fees in Brazil and Colombia are very cheap compared to Prague.

Theme will be DAPbreakin' and fellow-up DAPs.
Plan is to shoot at least 20 DAP scenes ideally as 1st scene = DAPbreakin', if not possible than DAPbreakin' after 1-2 anal only warm-up scenes. I'd say minimum 30 scenes professionally shot by a pro crew with 2-5 pro actors from Colombia or Brazil in da box to be released from May 2025 onwards ideally on Pornbox, if it exists and treats content creators sort of fair still until then.

edit:
May 2025 earliest, if not than Summer.
And depending on funds left and girls scouted I'd shoot as many DAPs as possible, but minimum I need 20 in da box before first DAPbreakin' is released.

Anyway, there is a tread/poll for that project.
Let's better go back to Effects of Trump victory on porn.
Me, I guess waiting for Trump to take office will destabilize LAM economies further, which will put pressure on local fees.

as predicted from day one, all independent and sovereign govts in latin america that refuse to bow down to the nazi cowboys in washington are going to be attacked in turn by the Trump administration. today it's Colombia, but in coming days expect similar sanctions, tarifs and visa-blocking to be applied to Venezuela, Brazil, and others (poss Peru and Bolivia)

and if UK/EU washington-bootlickers instruct their embassies in targetted countries to stop issuing visa's for EU countries too, then european xxx studios and their fans can kiss goodbye to any hope of seeing any of the stars of latin-american xxx shooting in europe in the mid-term future (just as EU countries have been blocking Russian models from travelling in recent years)

hopefully those few self-respecting govts in europe that do have dignity and do insist on making decisions in their best sovereign interest (rather than committing political and economic suicide to please the US/EU) will push back against this.
eg. Slovakia which borders the CZ Republic, and Hungary that Borders Slovakia, in particular. but as yet, all an unknown

that said, the other side of this visa-blocking equation is that latin-american stars will just choose to shoot more scenes for latin-american studios to make up for any loss of EU work.
since i generally prefer the work of the latin-american studios to that of the EU studios, (speaking selfishly) this isn't terrible news for me (though it will be for many fans of the EU studios here). but i still consider this *extremely bad news* generally, because models should be allowed to shoot wherever they want to shoot

and xxx besides, US-inflicted trade wars, sanctions, tariffs etc aimed against govts that won't take orders from them, always and only ever affect 'the little people' (that means people around the world like you and i), greatly increasing their living costs and reducing their standard of living (food, fuel, medicines, etc).
it's by definition 'collective punishment' of peoples to enforce political change, which is a gross violation of international law and can be considered a war crime (because economic war is just war by non-military means)
but anyone who imagines the US ever cared about violating international law or committing war crimes hasn't been paying attention to what the US has been doing since the end of WW2. but i digress

ultimately whether you prefer to see latin-americans xxx models shooting at home or in the EU, this current US aggression against weaker countries and economies episode is clearly a net evil which you should be both angry about and deeply opposed too, for fundamental ethical and humanitarian reasons ("first they came for the Colombians" etc)

TLDR

1) Depraved US imperialism is bad for xxx (all those who work in it and all those who appreciate it)

2) coffee-lovers in the US (and UK/EU as a knock on effect) will have to get used to paying *a lot* more for your coffee in the future

ps. hopefully people will now understand why i posted the info about (and stressed the importance of) the new Peruvian-Chinese port venture. most timely, since the chinese and wider asian market (asian economic powerhouse Indonesia just joined BRICS, in case no one here noticed) is orders-of-magnitude bigger than the US market

ultimately, no matter what self-defeating tariff stupidity Trump and his govt of inbreds & braindeads seek to apply to those latin-american countries it singles out for abuse, greatly increased access to asian markets for latin-american countries via the new Peru port will more than compensate for any trade losses to the US

and as a side thought, i wonder how long it will be until there is an important latin-american & asian xxx connection? something to think about as this situation progresses

[latina-girls-yes]

a random thought i am throwing up for discussion: i wonder how long it will be before the latin-american studios get together to form a cartel of sorts, with the aim of setting up a 'pornbox' site of their own?

the reason i mention this is that as washington (currently led by Trump/Rubio/Musk, but US continuity of agenda policy re disrespect and abuse towards certain countries of latin-america is bipartisan and longterm) becomes more aggressive in its policies towards those countries (countries that insist on their own sovereignty and independence from destabilising US-interference) will this eventually take the same form as the economic war that has been directed at russia over the past few years. in particular the example of cutting russian businesses off from the swift financial payments system (which negatively affected xxx studios and streamers within the territory).
studios/models based in Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela being those countries most at risk of unilateral and unprovoked financial attack by the regime in washington

latin-american studios (there are many and production grows each year) having a non-western based alternative to pornbox set up and ready to go (able to receive payments/transfers in local currencies, not dollars/euro) would be a wise hedge to protect their incomes from destablisation should the Trump govt indulge in such anti-latin-america bullshittery.
since all the big studios (Natasha & Lancelot, MamboPerv and Yummy) already have their own smart promotional websites in place (currently offering scene purchase via pornbox), swapping out that western option for a native alternative if they are no longer able to recieve payment in dollars/euros would be easy, if it were set up and ready to go (in case of emergencies) from day one

it's an interesting and relevant fact that former Brazilian president (and former anti-fascist revolutionary during the dark years of the rightwing dictatorship in Brazil) Dilma Rousseff is currently head of the BRICS+ New Development Bank (NDB). that institution is *all about* countries of the global south and asia - currently under sanctions or threat of sanctions by the US political establishment (and its EU/UK colonies) - working together to financially circumvent the perpetual economic tyranny of the west

so the precedent for such a system already exists in latin-america at scale (international transfers of funds). scale it down and you have an example for an alternative way for the studios to protect their income and keep their studios viable, no matter what stupidities the financial elites of the northern hemisphere might be tempted to try

anyway, it seems to me to be a contingency plan that should definitely be being seriously considered and discussed among the key latina-american players (if they are not already) due to the change of political climate that is currently taking shape in north america, and will inevitably only get far worse over the coming years
