UK Adult Producers is an association for adult content producers who held a meeeting attended by a variety of people from web designers, Phd grad students, lawyers, prosexual freedom campaigers and lawyers who discussed everything from work offer to the model/ performer community to age verifcation, updates on ATVOD closing down in December and speculate a future under OFCOM, Adult Crowd Funding and more

The first 30 minutes is Web Stream offering free sites to content producers and performers.

The rest of the podcast makes for informative listening to those in, or interested in keeping up with what is going on in UK porn, politics, legislation and the business

I caught up with Chessie Kay to present the award for Best Female Performer at the UKAP AWards 2015 as she was unable to make the event for working in the US where she talks about the work she was doing and it was a little unusual to say the least

Murder porn, BBC cuckoldry and kidnap scenarios arent the sort of things that will get past our AVMS regulations in the UK so therefore its none too surprising to find UK talent doing this in other parts of the world like Europe and the USA. Its not as bad as it sounds.

We discussed what winning the award means to her and the importance Twitter has for models working in the adult biz.

We talked about the impact working in the adult business has on friends and family. Chessies situation is by no means unique but certainly interesting and this episode offers an insight into what influenced her look.

We also talked about the ideal age to get into the adult business, a view that is shared by some who know the business over a period of time in it. To quote Chessie: "There's more to porn than just sex" sums this up well.

This is the link to the video referred to in the podcast https://youtu.be/UV40e-78dNw

She's been in the adult business 8 months and missed the UKAP Awards to work on the hit HBO series Game Of Thrones which is a good excuse as any.

Ella Hughes won the award for Best Female Newcomer at The UKAP Awards 2015. Here she explains what winning this award means to her and why she was unable to attend the event filming for Game Of Thrones in Ireland and talks about how she crossed over into mainstream adult from a fetish spanking lifestyle and where she wants to be in the next two years.

Vince Charlton explains what the ASACP (Association Of Sites Advocating Child Protection) is and what it does in tandem with the RTA label in how it works with parental controls in preventing minors from seeing innappropriate content on the internet See www.asacp.org for more information.

UKAP convene with guests at a general meeting to share feedback on the APN /ATVOD roundtable meeting at St James Theatre that was well attended despite a recording of that meeting was removed where those who were present discussed the subject of Age Verification.

The meeting was important as it allowed the adult business to participate in consulting with those who involved with regulation & legislation without to ensure they were heard and any issues that needed addressing. The turnout showed the adult business were prepared to support age verification.

The conversation includes plus and minus points of age verification and the problems arising from its implementation before Rudd Apsey discusses where VeriMes age verification system sits in all this and talks about the service that works with mobile phone technology as well as the cost per transaction and a step by step description of how the service works and answers questions about the service.

Ahead of his meeting on July 2nd 2015 with the Adult Providers Network and Age Verification Vendors pitching their services and what it can do for the adult industry, Chris Ratcliffe (head of TVX) explains his involvement with The Digital Policy Alliance that saw those in the adult industry covene with parliamentarians to discuss the needs and requirements of an industry that a previous roundtable meeting with ATVOD made it clear by its successful turnout and support that the adult business is here to stay and wants to take responsibility for the services it provides to adults

Its worth bearing in mind when Age Verification is mandated, it will encompass a wide range of adult services, from cam sites, to dating including the whole spectrum of adult services beyond that where age verification is required ie buying knives, cigarettes, alcohol online.

The most important part of these two pivotal meetings is that a cross section of the adult business community showed support by engaging in discussion to provide understanding in this area whereas if there was no interest, the rules would have been made up in our absence which does the adult business no favours

An example of this making the rules up without consultation can be seen with ATVODs recent AVMS Regulations which effected a protest led by Charlotte Rose last December. Once a law is passed nto legislation it is hard to reverse

Here Chris talks talks with members of UK Adult Producers and listens to first hand experiences of those dealing with age verification, bringing up points that need to be addressed to those providing services in this sector to seek a simple and effective solution that guarantees and maintains anonymity to the consumers of adult services without the need for a database

I met with Vince Charlton for a Q&A about Pay4XXX

On their site it decribes the service:

Secure card payment solutions for the Escort Industry
Pay4.XXX provide a One-Stop card acceptance solution for both Agencies and Independents wishing to securely and discretely process Visa and MasterCard transactions, either via your website (Hosted Payment Page) or through a portable point of sale (POS) terminal accepting payments wherever the sales transaction takes place.

Using Banking and Payment Processing Partners that are totally comfortable with the Industry, Pay4.XXX provide a secure, safe and reliable payment environment tailored to your own specific requirements.

About us

The Pay4.XXX management team have been involved in card processing for the Adult sector since 2005 providing processing for some of the major international players in the Industry.

Whilst there have always been banks willing to process for the general Online Adult Entertainment Industry, getting banks to process for the Escort market has always met with resistance, leading to some Agencies and Independents trying to obtain card processing without fully disclosing the true nature of the business …… with costly repercussions.

Pay4.XXX have partnered with banks and international card payment processors who are comfortable with this market to enable us to provide a truly secure, discrete and unique level of service to the Industry.

Itts worth noting that Pay4XXX is handy for many other services such as webcam workers where chare backs can be problematic and even agencies but bear in mind using the service will also carry a service transactin charge of 8% from the POS (point of sale) and 8.5% from the website which can be absorbed as a 10% admiin charge to the customer if you have to use this service.

Top Of The Babes started out as a hobby to engage the fans with the girls on the form of a Top 30 format reminiscent of a famous 80's pop music TV show until Rah, its curator, brought the idea to a UK Adult Producers meeting where I spotted its potential as a marketing tool independent of our voting system

In the interests of transparency, Rah explains what Top Of The Babes is all about and why as a model you should get involved if you are in the UK adult business.

Awards done well are a good way to invigorate interest as well as spotlight potential and existing stars for producers to consider for pojects.

It's not about the winning of awards in as much as its being seen at an event networking and building on a fan base.

Kaz B is oh hand to offer input on social networking and its advantages in getting work and populating a fan base, the pros and cons of social working as a prmotional tool for financial success

Scarlett tells us how she got into directing and editing for Harmony Films, techniques in setting up scenes and how she deals with those rare moments when talent cant "rise to the occasion"

How did such a young talented woman with no intention of getting into the adult business acquire the skills to work for a premiere division adult production company in the UK?

She tells us how and much more. Why parental education is better than state imposed censorship and cites this from personal experience. Female producers are on the rise despite the backlash of moral panics and radical feminism claiming women are exploited in the sex business so it is refreshing that Scarlett is not just talented and beautiful but speaks about her work with enthusiasm, intelligence and passion that is seen in her movies such like Dani Daniels Girl Perversions and her first movie Mind F**k are just some in the list of what she has done for Harmony Films.

She is qualified to edit to industry broadcast standard and has a keen eye for style that puts her movies a cut above the usual fare in the world market.

We talked about a lot, from porn sex vs real sex, radical feminists, kinky sexual practices and UK law. How great porn stars don't always make for good lovers and nor does great looks make you sexy and more. If you want to get into the business then listen to this podcast for some good tips and hints into how adult films are made.

With all that's been going on with porn on the Internet and the recent changes in the law making certain types of sex acts and fetishes illegal would it have made sense for the authorities to engage the adult industry with open discussion on the topic?

One person who is and founded the Ethical Porn Partnership is Nichi Hodgson who is an author and journalist and as talked about this project before http://thenakedtruthpodcast.podomatic.com/entry/2014-04-05T05_56_39-07_00 .

Here she discusses with UKAP (UK Adult Producers) at a meeting in November 2014 to address the issue of self regulation which offered a rare insight into what a cross section of the UK business thought. UKAP membership ranges from the amateur entrepreneur, indie model producers to semi pro and high end professional. The general meetings are attended by a diverse selection of sexual freedom and anti censorship campaigners, activists and legal representatives. Some of those in attendance were Charlotte Rose, Oscar Storm, Zara DuRose, Terry Stephens(aka One Eyed Jack aka @nakedtruthguy) as well as models Angel Long and Chloe Lovette with Jerry Barnett from www.sexandcensorship.org and Myles Jackman @ObscenityLawyer and Charlotte Rose who spear headed the recent face sitting protest on Parliament.

Elements of this recording will be featured on a radio special for Radio 5 soon TBA
