Entering the world of adult entertainment can be both exciting and challenging. One of the hurdles I personally had to overcome when I started in this industry was my approach to finding collaborators. I used to seek the same qualities in creators and co-workers as I would in personal friends, believing that building deep connections was essential for success. After all, I thought, these are people I'll be working closely with, and it makes sense to have a strong bond, right?
However, this perspective led to a series of setbacks. I was too focused on personal compatibility rather than professional skills. If someone didn't align with my personal values or wasn't someone I'd consider dating or befriending outside of work, I questioned whether we could effectively create erotic content together. It's a question that many of us in this industry have pondered at some point.
It took me a few years and a lot of trial and error to realize that I was the one holding myself back. My portfolio remained limited, and I had already let go of potential collaborators who could have greatly contributed to my brand. My fixation on personal relationships had blinded me to the potential of professional partnerships. Instead of valuing people for their skills and expertise, I dwelled on what I perceived as their shortcomings, which had no real impact on our working relationship because, after all, I didn't date or live with them.
Once I got over myself and shifted my focus to the primary task at hand—creating beautiful and compelling content—things started to flow. I stopped being overly inquisitive about their personal lives and preferences and began concentrating on practical matters like scheduling, wardrobe, and props. I also ensured that our interactions during shoots were smooth, and I prioritized their safety. This shift didn't mean that I lowered my standards; it simply meant that I approached content creation as a professional endeavor, much like clocking in and working any other job with colleagues. All I needed to know was whether my co-creator could effectively fulfill their part of the job that directly impacted my ability to do mine. What they did with the rest of their time was none of my business.
In conclusion, my journey as a digital creator in adult entertainment has been filled with various challenges, and one of them was learning how to choose the right collaborators. Everyone's experiences will differ, but the key takeaway here is that focusing on professional compatibility can be just as, if not more, important than personal connections in this industry.
