ICP lost me shortly before the magnets thing, around the time they dropped Mikey Clark as their beat producer. Shaggy's solo album was the only good thing to come of the last 10 years.
I was flattered by knowing people wanted to watch me, but not sexually aroused by it. I am the opposite; a voyeur, not an exhibitionist. I would much rather watch than participate in any sexual act. I feel rather indifferent about someone passively watching me masturbate. If someone likes to watch then that's fine, but it does nothing to help me get off. I did get satisfaction from the attention overall. People listened to my opinions, read my blog, listened to my radio shoutcast, ect. It fit my teenage narcissism, and it was nice to have the bills paid and get free fleshlights. I've tried all the fleshlight styles. People would pay for them just to watch me use them, and then of course i'd later sell them on NB for a couple hundred bucks.
In addition to member subscription sales, paypal donations, and clothing auctions there was also the affiliate revenue stream. If I placed a banner or some link to another porn site on my pages and someone clicked through and signed up, I would get anywhere from 10%-50% of the sales for life. The trick was to find which sites were trending and then to search for traffic that those sites hadn't reached yet.
I feel sorry for guys that do this now days through xtube and what not. By the time you pay xtube and then pay for the CC processing, you get to keep less than half of your revenue. That means mon-wed you are jerking off for the man.
