I got pretty good at it…I used to be able to get through about 20 movies a day.

My job was as a “Describer”…I would watch the videos all day long, take screenshots, and then try to write the most enticing copy that I could (which often all ended up sounding the same, and used far too many exclamation points). It was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had, but it also taught me a great deal in a very brief amount of time. They also had a phone sex floor, though thankfully I never worked there. This was many years ago, and I’ve moved on to other industries since then, but the first job I got out of college…the only job I could get…was working for a website that streamed adult videos on demand. They take sexual harassment extremely seriously.Adult distribution companies are all about business.Working with pornography is not a pleasurable experience.
