My Webcage is Non-profit. Kind of like PBS huh?

You know I'm always reminding everyone about sharing their fantasies, ideas, experiences, etc in my forum section and also letting them know that not only are comments here welcomed but they are definately encouraged and I love to read them. I mentioned this of course to someone in a note as I do pretty much in every note I write to someone who contacts me about the webcage, and they wrote back and said that they were reluctant to share their thoughts in the forum section because they didn't want for me to profit from their work. I wrote back to correct the person, but it made me wonder how many people are misunderstanding the point of my webcage, so I thought I would clear everything up today.

First, my webcage is non-profit. I don't make money out of it. There is no profit, therefore I can't profit off of your work, his work, her work or even my own work. All of the interactive areas of the website are free and open to everyone including the chatroom, video chat shows, forum and blog and there are a lot of other features that are available too like the video clips which change daily, featured photo, featured story and a whole huge section on me including several large photo galleries. So anyone can come to my website and enjoy new things every single day without ever spending any money.

That having been said, yes there are things you can spend money on if you want to. Sort of like the difference between flying first class and flying in economy class. If you want to see the thousands of photos and original stories in my protected area, sure that's a little extra. If you want to see a full length DVD quality video from the video library, that is too. Most of the money you pay for those things though doesn't go to me, it goes to the company that helps administer it and I get a small piece of it. My piece goes directly to paying for the expenses of the webcage which include domain registrations, bandwidth transfer costs, file storage costs, etc. and that doesn't even include costs associated with me doing new photos or videos. Basically its a break even deal for me and if I didn't have the money from the "first class" areas, I wouldn't be able to continue to have my site up because of the costs. So in a way, the people who are willing to see more and enjoy more are supporting the site for everyone else.

So now you're probably asking a couple of questions. First you're probably saying well Maliia, if you're not making any money at this, why do it? Good question, I'm glad you asked it (I'm so polite, aren't I?). When I started my webcage I actually had no idea that money could even be made from these things. I did it because I had (and still have) very strong fetish desires and I found that not only did I get tons of pleasure from sharing my own desires and from knowing that both men and women were getting pleasure from seeing my body and reading my stories, but also I found that as people shared their fantasies, experiences and thoughts, it opened my mind to ideas I never would have thought of and was never exposed to. I love new things and in a way, I'm kind of like a crack addict looking for a new high, only with me its that I'm looking for a new fetish thing that I didn't know about but gets me super horny when I hear about it. This is also the answer for why most of my website is open and interactive. Sure, I could close the whole thing off and make it a paysite like a lot of other bondage and pornstar sites and maybe make more money, but that would defeat the whole point of having it for me which was to share and interact. Besides, you have to remember again that my webcage was born out of desire, not as a commercial venture for profit as most bondage or porn websites are.

Another question you might be asking is why don't I just do other porn stuff and use that money to pay for the website. Well first, if I did other porn stuff it would be a seperate kind of job. So you'd still be asking me to take money from my work in one area and apply it to another just so that everyone can access everything all the time without having to pay for any of it. That wouldn't be any different from me working forty hours a week at McDonalds as a fry girl and using my wages to pay for all of the website expenses. See how that works? And since I'm not using my website to promote anything other than the site itself (like some pornstars use their websites to sell their DVD's, photo sets, panties, realistic vibrating pussies, whatever) it's not like the costs associated with the website are made up on sales of something else outside of it.

I also don't do a lot of outside porn for a couple of other reasons as well. The first is of course because I do this for fun because I enjoy it so much and by having close contact through my website with the people who are enjoying it, I totally get off of what I'm doing. Also, I'm a control freak in a way and I want to totally control what I'm doing. I've gotten a lot of great offers from really talented photographers, porn directors and producers and even some very famous pornstars, all of whom are very well known and respected in the business to come do work with them, but I've always been a little hesitant because I'm not a pornstar kind of girl and also really I'm only into bondage and fetish and I don't want for sex to become a job for me, its just way too much fun for that. Even though I have fantasies about gangbangs and double penetration and all that and I'm definately as into girls as I am into boys, I'm not sure I'd want to explore that on a video for everyone and the idea of me being just another slant eyed rice eating flavor of the week sliding up and down on some guy's cock or licking his shaven balls (and they all seem to shave their balls) just didn't turn me on that much. Sure I love sex and cocks and licking balls, but again it goes back to me doing what I love to do because I love it, not because of money.

So now there's some materialistic people reading this who are probably really confused right now about my position on money and things. See, I'm the perfect girl because I really am a cheap girlfriend to maintain. It's because I take a very Buddhist approach which is that desire leads to suffering so the more you want, the more you get and the more you get, the more unhappy you are because there's even more that you want that you don't have. So no matter how much you get, you're never satisfied. Maybe its the Hawaiian in me because most Hawaiians seem to be more concerned with hanging out in their hale (home) with their ohana (family) and enjoying life in the islands. I always thought if I didn't fall into that trap of wanting more, buying more and wanting more in the first place, I could find happiness from things you can't buy in a store like friends, family and great orgasms. Seriously. I don't need a Chanel bag or Ferragamo shoes or a Hermes scarf to be happy. This isn't to say I don't like to look good and wear cool stuff or be super sexy, it just means that my needs are met and beyond that really isn't that necessary for my happiness. The other problem with things is that although they may bring you short term happiness, long term its like crack (see, that's my second reference to crack today, what's up with that) in that when you start to come down from the happiness brought on by one thing, you'll be looking to get happy again from something else. As I said above, I do this too, but I do it with bondage and orgasms, which may or may not be any better, we all have our things I guess, but its definately a lot more affordable.

Of course the one area of my life that does get expensive is my lust for new fetish outfits and bondage equipment. That stuff is expensive! Someone suggested that I should make a list of items I want from a store like Pleasure Chest or Dream Dresser or catalog like JT's Stockroom and post it and just let people buy me stuff and then do photos in them. It's an interesting idea that I would want to hear what your thoughts are about it though.

I hope all of this makes sense and clears up any questions (or maybe it creates even more). I do what I do because I love doing it. I think everyone who visits me should contribute in some way whether by enjoying some of the more premium features I have which helps to keep the site running, or if you don't want to spend money which is fine, then at least contribute your thoughts, fantasies and ideas. Besides, I think you'll find that giving something back to something you enjoy will bring you as much pleasure as it brings others. Try it, I think you'll like it and I know if you contribute some interesting thoughts, I'll like it too!
