“I look like the girl next door. I think it’s the attainable aspect that excites people, like, people watch it and go, Oh wow, I can imagine her going down on me'
Before the rise of streaming sites like Xtube and Pornhub, ambitious amateurs made names for themselves, and occasionally quite a bit of money, producing, posting, and selling their own content online — often content where low-budget intimacy seduced devoted fans. In the tube era, the distribution method changed — rather than building a site under your own name, eager amateurs now post videos on platforms like Pornhub.
If he is holding the camera he could look into the frame and kind of see what he was capturing. And then also when I was looking at the camera, it was like I was looking at him so my eye contact would come off really hot, because you know, this is a person that I love. I’m not giving a blow job to a stranger, I love and care about him and I want to make him feel as good as possible. If I’m in a bad mood, or I don’t feel well or if I’m sick, it doesn’t look as good.
Farrell Timlake, a.k.a. Tim Lake Began in the 1990s. Later, became president of Homegrown Video, which had been established in 1982 as the first amateur pornographic-video-distribution company. We had like a Hi8 recorder which was state of the art back then. I’d got it to shoot weddings but I wasn’t getting a lot of business.
We just turned the camera on, we didn’t set a mock scenario. We would just shoot whatever’s going on. I was a fucking freak. I had like a natural exhibitionist fantasy and my girlfriend was more … I guess the word would be selective. Sometimes it would be really, really fun and sometimes it would be kind of like, Eh, this isn’t clicking.
I guess you could say that we were the redheaded bastard stepchild in the industry. Amateur was like, you guys do amateur, there’s something wrong with you! It’s … disgusting. Who wants to have sex with some mom with stretch marks? And we always were like, well, seems to be what you professional guys are trying to copy.
Jen: Up until October of ’97 Dave did everything, really. I posed for pictures and I answered a few emails but money was dwindling so he got a job delivering pizzas. So I taught myself the computer skills and I took over the website. I was never as averse to making money as he was. It might be also I didn’t really have any kind of career going on. I was 20 when we started. I barely even knew what the internet was.
Jen: We got married in 2000, at the height of our popularity. It was a traditional wedding but since all of our friends were web people, it was this weird mix, you know? I panicked at one point because I’m like, Oh no, I put web-girl “Sally” next to Dave’s parents. She’s out of control … At one point we all snuck off and took a picture of us flashing our boobs.
Jen: I got pregnant with twins in 2004. I thought I’d take a little bit of time off but I could just [go] right back into doing the site, yeah, no problem. I was so cute to think that. Dave was working full time, my twins were premature. Social media started taking off and so then I kind of came back to it a little bit later. I was like, What’s all this Facebook/Twitter stuff? What’s going on? I had to relearn the web. I got into all the mommy stuff for a while — I even had a mommy blog.
Looking back it almost seems Victorian! But it was a crazy, heady, wonderful time. Eventually I got pregnant and I really didn’t want to have a baby in New York. It was a lot of work. I went to bed at 4 a.m. and got up at 1 p.m. Within the three or four years the market just flooded with every single person trying to cash in, it was like the gold rush.
It was exciting because I knew that there was a guy out there looking at me and masturbating. I wouldn’t say that that thrill and arousal is just the idea of somebody watching me, because I mean I could just open up my window … Xavier Thicc Began taping himself in 2007. On Pornhub, his videos have been viewed 23 million times.
