Help with my .XXX site market research

Until today I'd never considered becoming a purveyor of XXX material.

But I just got an email from my domain name registrar, Dotster, informing me of how important it is to have a .XXX presence now that this top-level domain is available.

Registering a .XXX domain enables you to keep control of your online brand. Landrush is open to members of the Sponsored Community or individuals who qualify to become members. General Availability is open to everyone regardless of whether you are an adult industry professional or simply looking to protect your web presence.

Well, I don't exactly understand what they're talking about. (Suggestion to Dotster: Have a buxom naked woman on a webcam explain how .XXX domain registration works.)

I'm into keeping control of my online brand, though. Which I gather is me, since I'm a blogger.

And given how large the market for porn is, it sure seems like I should be able to come up with a .XXX site that could channel some extra cash into our checking account. "Our" reflects the fact that I'm married, so this circumstance will have at least some slight effect on what sort of porn site I could develop.

I'm thinking of a twist inspired by the popular Porn for Women book, which shows pictures of men cooking, listening, folding laundry, asking for directions, and other outrageous female fantasies. 

The twist would be that I'd aim my .XXX site at the opposite end of the market: women (and, heck, men also, so long as they have a credit card) who are turned on by male messiness. I'd like to embrace cinéma vérité on my porn site, so the most truthful subject I could film -- also, the cheapest -- would be me going about my usual everyday life.

Thus I'm wondering what the worldwide market is for what admittedly would be a narrow niche of the .XXX online offerings: video of a 63 year old man (in good shape!) doing things around the house that would annoy a neatnik, yet (I can only hope) turn on people with a fetish for certain sorts of messiness.

If you're such a person, especially of the female variety, let me know how much you'd pay to have access to regularly updated videos of me:

-- leaving the towels in our bathrooms all askew
-- splashing water onto edges of the kitchen sink without wiping it off
-- tossing clothes on the top of my dresser instead of hanging them up
-- putting my electric toothbrush away with toothpaste still on it
-- not washing the coffee pot for, like, two weeks
-- hanging shirts in my closet so casually they're half falling-off the hangers 
-- stacking mail, books, magazines & notes to myself around my laptop in glorious confusion

Now, I realize that my MessyMan.XXX site will only appeal to a woman who (1) is turned on by male messiness, yet (2) has an exceptionally neat man in her life, so is feeling unfulfilled. (I considered adding "or can't find a messy man," but that sounded ridiculous.)

A small market? Yes.

But with seven billion people in the world and ever-increasing Internet access, a MessyMan.XXX site could be a winner. I await the verdict of responses to this market research blog post. Thanks in advance for your help.

If aformentioned male were to be looking quite mischievous (it's in the eyes) & gets caught on camera doing naughty things, there might be a clientele that would pay to see him getting ... mmmmh punished/chastised/disciplined ... say $5 a minute of spanking? ;)> (i am female)

loamylover, thanks for the great idea. I'll start rehearsing a mischievous look.

It also struck me that the "naughty things" I listed in my messiness misbehaviors aren't really very messy. I'm a pretty neat guy, compared to serious slobs.

So if I go with MessyMan.XXX, I'd probably need an "extreme" option for women who want more messiness than a misaligned bath towel or water spots on the sink.
