In the middle of the 1990s, when the industry of selling porn on VHS was highly illegal, maverick producer Terry Stephens, aka Naked Truth Guy, began his career by selling porn on VHS. After a chance encounter with a customer, the customer provided him with the opportunity to make his first amateur film. It wasn't until a couple of years later that he received prominence as an amateur producer on the popular Viewers Wives series from Your Choice in Holland. At the same time, he was still making the rounds selling movies by mail order and door-to-door, which is what got him raided. The ensuing legal battle lasted for two years. In the meantime, Terry was gaining fame with his new One-Eyed Jack gonzo movie series, which landed him a 7-feature distribution deal to produce new pictures for Extreme Associates in the United States. However, the firm had troubles of its own and decided to stop producing only 5 films. Terry and his business partner established Wrist Action Entertainment as a DVD distribution company with the intention of supplying sex stores located around the United Kingdom. The challenges that arose because of a previously illegal industry becoming legal necessitated a coordinated effort to establish standards, which is how "Producers for A Pint" came into existence. The United Kingdom Adult Production Association, or UKAP as it became known later, was a collection of producers who engineered the much-needed changes that were required in a largely unregulated business. UKAP later found itself defending the right to produce adult content for sale in the UK and its numerous challenges from the R18 Online, ATVOD and Age Verification. Meanwhile, Terry was gaining momentum with his award-winning series Real Couples (which was featured on Playboys Sexcetera) and juggling with productions and daily politics. After serving for many years as a secretary to numerous administrations over a span of ten years, Terry eventually became the default chairman for the full five-year term and was in charge of the UKAP Awards from 2014 to 2018. Since the pandemic, Terry has been residing in Bulgaria, where he maintains the business he founded and promotes his website.

Terry made his second appearance on Adult Site Broker Talk, which is hosted by Bruce, also the CEO of Adult Site Broker. Bruce said, “Terry is not only very knowledgeable about all facets of the industry and has a fantastic historical perspective on the company, but his English humor makes every talk a fun one.”

JustFor.fans, (JFF) a premier adult social platform catering to quality independent content producers and their fans, has launched the company’s very first AI Tool for creators in beta form. This beta feature is only available to JFF Exclusive models for now. AI chatbots are chatbots that use natural language processing (NLP) to help users interact with web services or apps through text, graphics, or speech. Chatbots can understand natural human language, emulate human conversation, and run simple, automated tasks. As with most programs on the internet, adult content is largely ignored or looked down upon, or simply banned.  JustFor.Fans, always known for being on the cutting edge of technology, is giving content creators the opportunity to use this unique platform to help in their creation of materials.

“My background is in artificial intelligence, and we already use AI on JFF to recommend models you might like based on your past purchases,” said Dominic Ford, owner/founder of JustFor.fans. “Now, we’re experimenting with using it to enhance our models’ posts. At our user conference, many models said they weren’t creative enough to write exciting copy in their posts. It’s possible that using AI might help them. AI is definitely the future, and figuring out how best to harness it is an ongoing and experimental process we fully embrace.”

For example, models looking to make their descriptions more interesting can type something like: “Make the following more erotic and interesting, and write two paragraphs: I met a guy at the gym and followed him into the shower.” The AI system will then generate a better version of what the model wrote, which will increase conversation rates and followers. The company is also exploring how AI can help its customer service systems. JFF accommodates a diverse range of creators - models, studios, agents, photographers, and affiliates - in its inclusive community, offering ample opportunity to generate up to 85% revenue payouts for exclusive models by using custom video menus, live-streaming/sexting options and live one-on-one cam shows, as well as pay-to-enter events. One of the company’s missions is to show just how many fans these models have (and many of huge follower counts on social media) so studios will take more chances and give models a shot whom they have not hired before.
