Bangbros.com is a Miami , Florida-based company that operates several paid pornographic websites that contain thousands of sex scenes. The best known of these and very successful is the Bang Bus (or Bangbus ) website, which has existed since 2001 ; other websites in the so-called Bangbros Network include Ass Parade ; Big mouthfuls ; Big Tits, Round Asses ; MILF Lessons ; Pawg ; Monsters of Cock and Tugjobs . The porn films in the gonzo genre that can be viewed and downloaded via the websites are also released on DVD by a subsidiary ( Bang Productions ) and have already received several awards for the best amateur series at the AVN Awards .
Movies
The films are mostly shot in Miami , Saint Petersburg or other cities in Florida . Many of the company's films follow a similar pattern: First, one of the Bangbros actors and the camera team speak to an apparently random passer-by on the street. The women are then lured to a location (in the case of Bang Bus, a minibus ) under a pretext , and they are often offered money in the films. There they are first persuaded to do a striptease and then to oral sex. In addition to the actual actor, the camera team is usually included in this action. The action then changes to vaginal and anal intercourse; here the camera team takes a back seat. The actresses are used on various websites, and many successful porn actors can be seen repeatedly in the series, such as Sara Jay and Flower Tucci or Ron Jeremy .
In fact, these are staged scenes that are supposed to serve a certain degree of voyeurism among customers through amateur-like production methods. According to research by the Miami-based local television broadcaster Local 10 , the actresses are recruited through classified ads. You sign a contract with the production company Ox Ideas , which gives them the rights to the scenes, and receive US $ 700 in cash per sex scene. According to research by the Miami New Times, a pair of actors received US $ 1200.
The Miami New Times that the undertaking should only at this scene for which it had 1,200 US dollars fee paid to the performers, in a few weeks already $ 50,000 earned. According to Local 10, the websites are viewed, cautiously, at least 100,000 times a day. Alexa Internet , the website leads bangbros.com among the top 500 of all sites by page views.
