In the adult and porn industry, adult forums are simply indispensable. Whether you’re a professional or a newcomer, these platforms offer not only tips and tricks but also the opportunity to network. What good is the best product, idea, or content if you lack the connections to monetize it effectively? Staying up-to-date, following current developments – these are the advantages provided by the best adult forums, making them so essential for us. But which forums are worth it, which ones are popular, and where do industry professionals gather to exchange ideas? Let’s take a look at the market leaders.
GFY.com – the Go Fuck Yourself forum is a true legend
Founded in the early 2000s, the GFY forum has grown to become one of the largest discussion forums in the adult industry. GFY.com is not aimed at end consumers; it’s a space where industry professionals gather to exchange ideas. Whether you’re an adult webmaster, affiliate manager, porn producer, performer, or media buyer, this is where the industry’s who’s who meet informally, often with a touch of humor between the lines.
What makes GFY.com special? That’s easy to answer. First and foremost, it’s the tone of interaction. You need thick skin and a good sense of humor here. Yet, this candid and straightforward discussion style is also what makes the platform so appealing. Industry news, webmaster tips, a marketplace for trading content and domains, and discussions about current trends make GFY.com a daily destination for many adult industry professionals.
Beyond the professional forums, there’s also a dedicated section for small talk and personal conversations. While this might seem unimportant at first glance, it offers significant advantages. On GFY.com, you can get to know the person behind the profile more directly and personally than on many other platforms. Do you click? Are you on the same wavelength? Do you share similar views beyond the industry? All of these can be important factors when building new business relationships.
Xbiz.net – The forum of the XBIZ industry magazine
Xbiz.net also focuses on the adult and porn industry and is aimed almost exclusively at a professional audience. However, there are significant differences compared to GFY. For example, XBIZ maintains a professional tone, and discussions are far less direct. While this has its advantages, it also makes the exchange of information less colorful and humorous.
After registering, Xbiz.net offers visitors a variety of features. The ability to create detailed profiles makes it easy to connect with other members and find suitable professional contacts. There is a dedicated section for job opportunities in the adult industry, and a handy event calendar showcases worldwide trade shows. Unfortunately, this calendar almost exclusively promotes XBIZ’s own events, which is understandable but still a missed opportunity for readers.
The discussion forums on this platform are also diverse and serve as a genuine resource for staying up-to-date in the industry, especially if professional development is a priority. Undoubtedly, the main focus of Xbiz.net lies in the U.S., where the magazine originated. Xbiz.net is particularly invaluable for start-ups and newcomers to the industry, as it offers opportunities to search for mentors and partners – a process made relatively simple by the detailed profiles.
NoLimits.biz – the German-speaking adult forum
For the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), there is a dedicated adult forum. Naturally, its reach is somewhat limited due to the use of the German language. However, if you’re looking to establish yourself in the adult industry within the DACH region or simply stay up-to-date, this forum is an indispensable resource. The NoLimits forum is a small but valuable meeting place for industry veterans and newcomers alike, and it fosters a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Members are always willing to help, forming a tight-knit community of German-speaking webmasters where you can truly feel among peers.
Unlike the international forums mentioned above, this platform places special emphasis on helping newcomers and beginner webmasters. Dedicated sections provide tips and tricks for building a website, covering topics like SEO and content monetization. Although the forum is quieter than its larger competitors, with fewer users and many silent readers, the quality of advice remains high. Even if you have to wait a day or two for an answer to your question, the responses are consistently helpful. For anyone looking to connect with the German-speaking porn webmaster community, the NoLimits.biz forum is simply indispensable!
AdultBizNetwork.com – The Networking Platform for the Adult Industry
And last but not least, we would like to highlight the AdultBizNetwork, a networking platform for professionals in the adult entertainment industry. While it is not a forum in the traditional sense, this platform is dedicated to connecting webmasters, models, producers, and service providers in the adult industry, and therefore deserves a mention.
The platform offers registered members the opportunity to present themselves with a detailed profile, easily connect with others, and exchange experiences. There are numerous benefits that come with a free membership:
Networking with Industry Professionals Worldwide: Thanks to a well-thought-out search function, users can quickly connect with interesting contacts.
Sharing and Discovering Offers and Job Opportunities: Each member can showcase their own offers, job postings, and products, making them available to others, including with special discount codes.
Learning and Growing Together: Networking is king. This is the core purpose of the platform, as long-term success in a rapidly changing industry is only possible through collaboration.
Since registration and use of the platform are completely free, we are happy to support this project. So check it out and become part of AdultBizNetwork.com!

Writing Bull, one of Germany’s most successful Twitch streamers, stands out with his friendly and mature community. The YouTuber and Twitch streamer specializes in building and strategy games such as Sid Meier’s Civilization series, Anno, Railway Empire, and countless others. His streams and videos are hardly ever boring. But before diving deeper into his streaming content, let’s first take a look at the man behind the camera. Who is Writing Bull, and where does he come from?
The German Twitch streamer and YouTuber Writing Bull
As a freelance radio journalist, working among others for WDR in Cologne, he brings with him all the knowledge and experience one might need as a streamer. From this beautiful city on the Rhine, he has built an impressive community over time. Early on, he discovered his passion for turn-based strategy games, and over time, his hobby became his profession.
He was involved in the development of several modifications for Sid Meier’s Colonization, leaving his mark on projects such as Werewolves and The Authentic Colonization. His passion for this genre of PC games was not destined to remain a hobby – he went all in. In 2013, more precisely on June 28th, Writing Bull founded his eponymous Twitch channel, which now boasts over 64,000 followers and approximately 3 million views, making it one of the largest in Germany. On average, 900 viewers—and during peak times, up to 1,800—tune in almost daily to his streams, which stand out significantly from others.
Writing Bull is also extremely active on his YouTube channel. In addition to his game streams, you can find countless interviews with game developers, preview videos of new releases, and much more. For fans of building and turn-based strategy games, he is a legend, and his streams are a must-watch.
Quality, both in terms of content and technology, is extremely important to him. When the trained journalist takes on a project, it is done thoroughly and with precision. Alongside top-tier hardware, his streams emphasize a friendly and welcoming atmosphere as well as a mature style of entertainment.
In numerous interviews, he has discussed his journey from journalist to Twitch streamer and willingly shares his experiences with the streaming community. It is no secret that his previous profession has been a tremendous help in establishing himself as a Twitch streamer. In essence, he continues to work as a journalist today – only now with video and his favorite games.
Sid Meier’s Civilization on Twitch – that’s Writing Bull
It’s safe to say that the Civilization series is the absolute highlight and most-streamed game on his channels. There isn’t a civilization, map, or add-on that he hasn’t successfully played and streamed. These days, he practically plays every game at the deity level, as he is the German king of this game series and a true master of his craft. His multiplayer games are equally legendary – true Civ fans can’t look away, even though such streams can last countless hours or even days.
The countdown is on. A few last rounds of Civ VI will surely be played, but Writing Bull’s focus has already shifted to Civilization VII, which will finally launch in February 2025 after six years of waiting. He has already shown us an Early Access playthrough on his channels, and together with countless followers, he eagerly anticipates the big day.
The countdown is on: Civilization 7 is coming!
The latest installment of the legendary 4X strategy game series is just weeks away from release and will be available from the start on platforms such as PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and more. The global Civ community eagerly awaits the day of its launch. Civilization 7 is not just about a few graphical improvements; many gameplay concepts have been fundamentally redesigned.
There are three main eras: the Ancient Era, the Age of Exploration, and the Modern Era. Unlike before, players don’t stick with a single civilization from start to finish. Instead, at the beginning of each main era, they can choose a new civilization based on the progress they’ve made so far.
City growth has also changed. The new “Urban Sprawl” feature allows cities to grow organically, adapting to surrounding terrain like hills and rivers. This makes city-building feel much more realistic and gives the game a completely fresh visual appeal.
The “Independent Powers,” or independent factions, add even more depth to the seventh installment of the series. Depending on how you interact with them, they can evolve into city-states, becoming either friends or foes, significantly contributing to the development of your own civilization.
You can already pre-order Civilization VII on platforms like Steam, where the “Deluxe Version” is available, granting access to the game as early as February 6, 2025. We’re already looking forward to the first Civ 7 streams from Writing Bull on Twitch, as this is likely the best way to dive into the newest installment of the series.
Traffic Networks in the Adult Industry – Higher, Faster, Further
It is well known that the adult industry is a rapidly growing and highly competitive market. This makes it all the more important for website operators to continuously increase their traffic. Generating traffic through SEO is certainly the best approach. However, this alone is often not enough to truly optimize product monetization effectively. This is where traffic networks come into play—an essential tool for successful media buying.
Networks like JuicyAds.com offer powerful tools to specifically target the right audience and purchase suitable traffic for a given website. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at how these traffic networks work and examine their pros and cons.
What Are Traffic Networks?
Do you have a product and want to monetize it? Then traffic networks might be a great tool for you. These platforms bring advertisers and publishers together to mutually benefit. One party has traffic, and the other needs it—a true win-win situation, provided everything is handled fairly and basic principles are observed. On platforms like JuicyAds, you can purchase ad spaces on websites and use comprehensive targeting options to precisely direct the right visitors to your product page.
How Does JuicyAds.com Work in Detail?
Let’s take a closer look at the traffic platform JuicyAds:
Registration: Both advertisers and publishers can register on the platform. Publishers offer advertising space on their sites, while advertisers can rent these spaces to generate traffic.
Campaign Creation: Campaigns can be created through a user-friendly and easy-to-learn self-service platform. This allows advertisers to define essential criteria for their desired traffic. Whether it’s location, language, device type, or the visitor’s interests, the possibilities are virtually endless. It’s crucial to take time to carefully consider which type of visitor you truly want on your product page and where the greatest potential for monetization lies.
Ad Formats: While the most common ad formats are likely familiar, let’s briefly touch on the key ones:
Banner Ads: Great for high visibility and effective branding.
Pop-Under Ads: These appear behind the main window and are highly effective for grabbing attention, though not always positively received as they are often blocked and can be annoying to users.
Direct Link Ads: These lead users directly to the target page, making them ideal for conversion-focused campaigns.
Statistics and Optimization: The importance of continuously tracking and analyzing the performance of your campaigns cannot be overstated. Money can be quickly wasted if you purchase traffic that doesn’t convert and fails to generate revenue. In a later section, we’ll delve deeper into how to monitor and evaluate campaigns effectively.
Advantages of JuicyAds and Similar Networks
Wide Reach: JuicyAds boasts an extensive network of publishers that reaches a large and diverse audience.
Targeted Traffic: With comprehensive targeting options, it’s easy to ensure that ads reach the right audience.
Cost Efficiency: Since you only pay for the traffic you actually receive, costs are transparent, making it simple to analyze whether a campaign is worthwhile or not.
User-Friendly: The platform offers intuitive tools suitable for both beginners and experienced advertisers.
Support: A dedicated support team is available to assist with questions or issues. JuicyAds truly stands out in this regard—the support is excellent, and I speak from personal experience.
Best Practices for the Optimal Use of Traffic Networks
1. Set Clear Goals What exactly do you want to achieve by joining a traffic network? Are you aiming to increase product sales, boost brand awareness, or simply drive more traffic to your website to potentially improve Google rankings in the long term? Clear goal-setting is essential for effectively planning and optimizing campaigns.
2. Budget Planning Careful budget planning is crucial—don’t waste money. It’s always advisable to start a new campaign with a small budget and monitor its performance closely. If the analysis yields positive results, you can gradually scale the budget and expand with minimal risk.
3. Create Engaging Ads A compelling call to action is key—but not always easy to execute. It’s important to design visually appealing ads (banners, landing pages, etc.). Use clear, high-quality images, relevant slogans, and language tailored to your target audience.
4. Conduct A/B Testing Testing is essential to explore the possibilities. Experiment with different ad formats, designs, and targeting options. Run a series of A/B tests to identify the best-performing model for your needs. Dedicate plenty of time to repeated analysis and comparisons. The effort and time invested in thorough testing will save significant costs later.
5. Monitor Performance The analytics tools provided within JuicyAds accounts are highly comprehensive. You can track the performance of your campaigns in real-time, gaining detailed insights into their progress. Metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and ROI are invaluable for refining and tailoring campaigns to your objectives.
Risks and Potential Issues
Of course, not everything that glitters is gold, and there are some challenges that a traffic network can present:
Traffic Quality: Not all traffic is high-quality and leads to good results. A significant amount of low-quality, overused traffic is often sold cheaply, making it almost impossible to monetize. The key is to monitor your campaigns closely and compare various traffic sources through A/B testing. You should only increase your budget once you have a clear understanding of the quality of the traffic you can expect.
Complexity: Managing campaigns can be time-consuming, especially if you are new to this field. Start with small budgets and take the time to learn what to focus on when setting up campaigns. There are numerous videos and tutorials available online that can provide valuable knowledge on this topic.
Costs: Without a clear strategy, expenses can quickly spiral out of control.
Conclusion
Especially for operators of adult websites looking to monetize a product, traffic networks like JuicyAds.com are almost indispensable. By following the tips mentioned above and taking the time to implement them, the purchased traffic will almost inevitably help you get significantly closer to your goals.
On the other hand, traffic networks are also immensely important for adult website operators without their own product, as they provide a way to monetize organic SEO traffic.

What originally motivated you to enter the adult entertainment industry? Was there a specific moment or inspiration that gave you the push?
Since I’ve always been very sexually active, I wanted to combine the pleasant with the practical. I met my current fiancé, who then suggested I try working as a camgirl. That was my first step into the adult entertainment business. We privately visited the adult expo “Venus” in Berlin, and I found everything there very exciting and inspiring. A year later, I had a small info booth in the then “Camarea.” That was essentially my starting point in the adult entertainment industry.
How has moving from life in Switzerland to the Black Forest influenced your work? Do you feel that the new environment has changed your creativity or daily life as a content creator?
I really only started actively working in my job after moving to Germany to be with my boyfriend. Switzerland is generally more conservative about such things.
Personal and Professional Challenges
Starting work as an adult model and camgirl is a big decision for many. How did your friends and family react?
Since my partner and I built a new social circle in Germany, which is naturally very liberal and open-minded, there were no issues. On the contrary, some of my friends even find my work very interesting and are curious about entering the adult entertainment world themselves. My family in Switzerland is fully aware of everything, and the topic is no longer an issue.
What challenges have you experienced as a transgender person in the adult entertainment industry, and how do you deal with potential prejudices or stereotypes?
I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised, as have many producers and others in the adult industry. There aren’t many transgender people in the German-speaking adult industry, so curiosity often prevails. Very few are unwilling to work with transgender individuals. Most are open-minded, invite me to collaborate, and the ice is quickly broken—probably because I present myself as very feminine and am both sexually active and passive.
As a pansexual person, I have no hesitations with any gender. I always find it interesting when those who describe themselves as “100% straight” find me very intriguing and want to work or film with me. For those who don’t want to, well, it’s their loss.
About Your Work as a Content Creator
Platforms and Community
You’re active on platforms similar to OnlyFans. What motivated you to focus on these platforms?
Since I do this job, which I absolutely love, to make a living, I’m active on several lucrative platforms to increase my visibility and showcase myself. These platforms are a great way to earn money passively, such as through selling videos.
How would you describe your relationship with your fans? Are there any special requests or interactions that stand out in your memory?
I’m thrilled to now receive fan mail and have many fans reach out to me. At adult expos, they visit my booth to buy calendars, DVDs, or autographed cards. I try to remain grounded and always be there for my fans. It’s very important to me to interact well with them.
Even when I’m on vacation, I share pictures and stories so my fans can get to know me on a personal level. From lingerie I’ve worn to a calendar I produced with Micaela Schäfer, I offer almost everything my fans wish for.
Content Creation and Daily Life
What does a typical workday look like for you? How do you balance creative planning, content production, and personal time?
Since my fiancé also acts as my manager, he takes care of all the administrative tasks for me. That includes handling appointments, contracts, fees, my website, hotel bookings, and so on. He’s essentially the man behind the scenes, organizing everything in consultation with me, of course.
I usually wake up in the morning, we have breakfast together, and then we go through the schedule for the day. If I have free time, I’m active as a camgirl. Otherwise, I’m busy with adult expos, autograph sessions, porn castings, interviews, and other commitments.
Your work requires a constant online presence. How do you manage to stay authentic and approachable without putting too much pressure on yourself?
I approach everything positively but realistically. Since my fiancé is an excellent planner, I’m able to keep everything well-organized.
About Future Projects and Visions
New Video Productions and Creative Ideas
You’re planning to start video productions soon. Can you share more about your vision and the type of content your fans can expect?
Yes, aside from producing lots of content for social media, I’ve already released two professional DVDs. With GB-Media, I was one of the main performers in gang-bang productions alongside cisgender women. These DVDs are available for purchase at adult expos, in adult shops, and similar venues.
Are you considering getting involved in other fields such as acting, photography, or fashion? Are there any potential collaborations with other well-known content creators?
Yes, I’m now working with the well-known star photographer and filmmaker “Atelier S. Dellemann” from Berlin. Together, we are producing many photos, interviews, planning a documentary, and even a book about me. Additionally, my photos will be exhibited during the Easter weekend in 2025 at a vernissage in Berlin’s iconic club, “KitKat,” as part of a four-day gallery event.
I really enjoy working with photographers. The topic of fashion also interests me, so we’ll see what else the future holds.
Long-Term Goals as a Content Creator
What are your long-term goals on platforms like OnlyFans? Do you plan to expand this work or shift your focus to new media and projects in the future?
Yes, I plan to expand my presence on platforms like OnlyFans. Discussions about collaborations with agencies and similar opportunities are already underway.
In an industry that is constantly changing, how do you stay innovative and relevant?
I always strive to stay up-to-date and continue evolving. As the saying goes: If you don’t keep up with the times, you’ll be left behind.
About Your Presence in the Adult Industry
Collaboration with Other Artists
You work with well-known personalities like Micaela Schäfer. How important is networking within the industry to you?
Yes, I collaborate with my personal role model, Micaela Schäfer, and I am also part of the PussyKat team at some adult expos, which is a significant name in the adult industry. Recently, I’ve also started working with excellent photographers. Appearing professional is important to me, and I’ve learned a lot from them, as they’ve been in the business for years. I’m thrilled about these collaborations, which have significantly boosted my visibility.
Can you give us insight into how such collaborations come about and the role they play in your career?
I personally reached out to Micaela Schäfer and her team at the time, as her company was looking for new talents. I applied, secured an exclusive contract with Lifestrip, and that’s how it all began. The highlight was being personally invited to her 40th birthday in Berlin, where I met numerous influential personalities. Shortly afterward, I was invited as a guest to a charity event hosted by Harald Glööckler, supporting children from difficult family backgrounds.
The collaboration with Micaela, in particular, was highly meaningful to me and gave my career another significant boost.
Adult Expos and Public Appearances
You regularly appear at adult expos. How important is personal contact with your fans outside the digital world?
Engaging with fans is very important to me. I’ve attended adult expos in Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. At these events, I usually have an info booth where fans can take personal pictures with me, receive autographed cards, and get more information about me. I also perform amazing shows with my partners, at least on the main stages, which I really enjoy. What I love about this business is the variety it offers.
What highlights can we expect at the expos you’ll be attending in 2025? Are there any special shows or events you’re looking forward to?
In February 2025, for instance, I’ll be a guest at the adult expo in Vienna, Austria’s capital. Shortly afterward, I’ll be in Brussels, Salzburg, and Chemnitz. The crown jewel, of course, is and will always be the Venus Expo in Berlin, which will take place next year in September. Additionally, I’m planning several productions abroad in 2025. Destinations like Croatia, Cyprus, Hungary, and Mallorca are on my list, and I’m really looking forward to them.
Personal Insights
Balancing Personality and Public Image
Your work requires a very open portrayal of your personality. How do you manage to separate your public role from your private identity?
I market myself, I’m self-employed, and I lead a generally self-determined life. In public, I’m not very different from how I am in private. However, I do enjoy my days off with my partner, and the occasional private vacation is essential for recharging and finding new energy.
Do you have any rituals or strategies that help you stay mentally balanced?
Not really, no. Aside from spending a lot of private time with my fiancé.
Messages and Wishes for Fans
What would you like to share with your fans and supporters? Is there a particular message close to your heart?
I’d like to let my fans know that they can always approach me, ask me questions, and so on. My fans mean everything to me.
For newcomers in the industry, I’d say: Don’t give up. Live a self-determined life, and don’t let others bring you down. It’s your life, not anyone else’s. Do what you feel like doing.
What values or ideas do you aim to convey through your work?
I believe I’m an honest and reliable person who is always there for my fans. Production companies and others in the business can rely on me as well. I’m also supportive of newcomers, helping them have a great and successful start—like Larissa-TS, a new TS star rising in the adult industry.

What happened to Metta Spencer, a 93-year-old scientist from Canada, is truly difficult to comprehend. On her globally recognized and widely followed YouTube channel ‘ToSaveTheWorld,’ leading experts from various fields have been coming together regularly for years. Whether it’s about peace research, pandemics, climate change, cyber threats, or food security in the third world, specialists from all over the world gather on her channel and often participate in live discussion panels.
Social Media Account Suspended – What Now?
When she once again invited people to a panel discussion on October 27, 2024, and went live on air to discuss climate change, it happened. A stranger had hacked her channel, gained access to the discussion, and played pornographic material. Although the hacker was removed after just a few moments, the short video was enough for YouTube to suspend her account. The terse justification: pornography is prohibited on YouTube and therefore a violation of the Community Standards.
All of Metta Spencer’s complaints were to no avail, as there isn’t even a support team with real people to discuss such problems. And this is precisely where the issue lies with many social media platforms. Rules are certainly important, and monitoring content is at times understandable and necessary. However, algorithms also make mistakes and are not always able to properly assess a situation. As a result, an entire professional existence can quickly be pushed to the brink of bankruptcy. These globally operating platforms undoubtedly have a responsibility toward content creators, who rely on their content to secure their financial survival.
In Metta Spencer’s case, the situation ended well because the TV station CBC Toronto directly contacted YouTube and inquired why the account of a 93-year-old scientist had been blocked. However, most content creators likely do not have such luck or public interest, and this is where the problem lies. Arbitrary decisions should not be a principle of social media platforms, and in cases of doubt, real people should be reachable to thoroughly review a suspension if necessary.
The Danger of Arbitrary Actions on Social Media Platforms
Complaints about unjustified account suspensions and deletions are also increasing on platforms like TikTok. There, too, there is no longer any human monitoring or security team; the task is handled 100% by algorithms, which makes it prone to incorrect decisions. In a world where social media platforms are gaining more and more power, and at the same time, an increasing number of people earn their livelihoods through their accounts, this is a development that should concern us
Guenter GGG – A Colorful Character and a True Bon Vivant
Guenter was more than just a business colleague, over the past 12 years, he became one of my best friends, both professionally and personally. This is an obituary to honor his memory.
When we first met, I was attending my very first adult show in the Netherlands, specifically in Utrecht. I didn’t know anyone there and was probably standing around a bit lost at the bar. That was the moment I first encountered Guenter. He was there as a Sales Manager for Partnercash and spontaneously invited me to join their team for a fun evening of bowling. It turned out to be a great night and the beginning of a wonderful friendship. From the very start, his relaxed and easy-going manner was simply unforgettable and impressed me from the first minute.
From then on, we met at virtually every European adult show and discovered many common interests. Over the years, we both evolved into adult webmasters with a shared passion for WordPress blogs and tube sites. Within just a few years, we became an unbeatable team in the German-speaking extreme fetish niche. From Golden Shower to gay, granny, and BBW extreme content, we managed to place countless sites in the top 10 of German Google rankings.
A Colleague and a True Friend
Our bond extended beyond business, and our friendship became something I deeply valued. Whether it was politics, love for animals, or the human connection, we had far more in common than we had differences. What always fascinated me was his straightforward nature – he always said exactly what he thought. It’s rare to find such honest people nowadays who navigate life with a positive and helpful attitude.
His gay chat platform, Erochat Community, was his professional masterpiece. Day in and day out, thousands upon thousands of people flocked to the platform, making it a genuine institution in the German-speaking gay community.
From pub owner to adult webmaster, from online promo tool specialist to data analyst—there’s a lot you could say about Guenter, but “lazy” was never one of them. The upcoming adult shows and conferences will feel different, a little less vibrant, because the cheerful presence of this colorful character will be missed by so many.
Guenter GGG, you left us far too soon. It’s often said that the best die young. We will miss you, and I will especially. Rest in peace, my friend.
