🌈 Pride Month Spotlight
To celebrate Pride month, we’re highlighting two of our models and what Pride means to them.
Charlie Cake
What does Pride mean to you?
To me Pride means being comfortable expressing myself and exploring the world around me.
What do you enjoy most about being in the adult industry?
I love being able to play with my gender identity and incorporate my sexual identity into my work. I think what I most enjoy is just the freedom to lean into whatever really feeds me at that current time. Also being able to work with and around like-minded individuals who understand my perspective is very important to me.
Do you have any advice for creators who share parts of your identity?
Only do what’s comfortable for you. You don’t have to share everything. Share what makes sense to you. That might change over time but there’s no rush to do anything but what you want to do.
Who or what inspires you?
The industry in general constantly inspires me. We’re so resilient and adaptable. Things are constantly changing and to be able to continue to be successful in what we all do is truly a gift.
Share a moment in your career that you’re particularly proud of.
I think getting past a decade in the industry with over a dozen nominations was really an important realization where I felt like I truly belong and have found my calling. What I do is honestly the pit of my passion and I love being able to share that with others.
Daft Morrigan
What does Pride mean to you?
The pride I feel and embrace comes from finding my own inner strength. It comes from seeing others that possess the strength, tenacity, and awareness to continue the good fight. It comes from knowing the fight is far from over yet finding that ability to push onward, all while supporting, helping guide and unifying our myriad communities. We do this by passing on lessons and experiences of where we came from, and dreams of where we may one day go and things we may achieve. Pride is knowing that we're never alone. It’s not having to face uncertain futures or obstacles as individuals, but as a greater collective composed of every sex, gender, race, ethnicity, and faith standing together for the betterment of EVERYONE.
What do you enjoy most about being in the adult industry?
The adventure of it! I officially began in 2013 and was instantly carried off into a career that took so many unexpected twists and turns! From meeting amazing friends from all branches of the business, starting a podcast to pass on things I’ve learned, to my own professional growth, I continue to be amazed and excited about what new directions I’ll head in and which new skill sets I’ll develop. It’s opportunities such as this that afford me the chance to connect and share with others as a whole in this industry, and to bond and create amazing communities that provide support networks. It's truly those communities that I’m most thankful for.
Some of the proudest moments I’ve experienced have alway come from my interactions with both fans and the greater community. While reppin’ SP at the AVNs this year, I was floored by the people coming up to me and not only knowing who I was but often thanking me for being so vocal and supportive of other models or for helping a fan work through tough times and hardships. It's not just being good at my job and making money—it's not just necessarily the growing notoriety. It's knowing that at the end of the day, I helped someone's day suck a little less. That I had a positive impact on someone’s life.
Do you have any advice for other creators, particularly trans models?
To my fellow trans models, regardless of where you are in your journey or the obstacles that may seem so daunting, keep pushing. Find that voice and strength to put yourself out there. Value yourself. Sometimes it’s scary and unpredictable, yes. But you are absolutely worth it and you’re not in this alone. Don’t project what does not feel right to you, instead find that courage to simply be you. This amazing career can help us better connect with our own nature and identity by letting our true selves absolutely shine!
Any parting words?
Happy Pride SP. The spirit has always been unity. The rainbow represents us all- queer, hetero- binary, or something in between and beyond. It’s about unity. I’ve never felt more at home and united as part of something bigger than I have right here.
✨ Site Updates ✨
👀➕Expanded Feed Post View
When you go to your Feed tab on the browser, you can now select to view more posts at once—10, 50, 100, 500, or 1000! This should make it easier for you to edit and delete your posts, as well as view your data.💡Remember that if you click the number that appears under “Likes,” you’ll get a pop-up list of users with the indicator showing who’s online now.
💱💰Crypto Payments for Users
SextPanther is once again able to accept crypto payments from users adding credits to their account. Users can make purchase using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, USDC, and more!
📜Code of Conduct Update
The CoC has been updated to add clarification on disallowed nudity in profile pictures as well as explicitly including homophobic language and content under the forbidden activities and terms.
🔓 Media Message Unlocks—Update to the Update!
Based on model feedback (thank you!), we’re continuing to improve the update for media message unlocks to highlight the most important messages for models to see. If a user unlocks a mass message with free media, you should no longer get
a notification sound in the browser (though you’ll still receive push notifications, as was always the case),
the in-chat visual of the unlocked media,
the user appearing in your Recent filter, nor
the pink notification bubble of an unread message.
If a user unlocks an individual message with premium OR free media, models will still get
a notification sound in the browser,
the in-chat visual of the unlocked media, and
the user appearing in your Recent filter.
🔥 Refreshed Explore Page—More to Come!
With the first version of the new Explore page out in the wild, we’ve been gathering a good deal of feedback. With that in mind, the team is busy fine-tuning how posts appear within the popular hashtags and how to rotate those hashtags to improve the variety displayed. The overall goals remain to promote content discovery and encourage users to add models who focus on the content categories they’re looking for.
Tip of the Month 🤑
Everybody likes feeling special, even those horny buggers sliding into your DMs. When you end a session with a client, consider sending a little parting gift. Whether it’s a text goodbye after they just made a mess of their keyboard or a wink and tagline at the end of your video chat, give them that special something that leaves a mark on their dirty little minds. That way, when they sign back in, they will be thinking about the last time and itching for round two! For example...
💌 Whisper Sweet Nothings
Send one last message to give them sweet (or spicy!) dreams, send them off to work, or put a little pep in their step during the workday. If you’re on the dom side, perhaps hint at their reward (or punishment) the next time they talk with you.
🗣️ Play Catch Phrase
When ending a call, create a signature sign off. You could use the same for everyone, or you could tailor it especially for your repeat clients. Think gestures, a line of text, a sequence of emojis, voice notes, etc. Stay classy, San Diego.
🖼️ Send a Snapshot
While you’re still “in position” at the end of a call, consider snapping a quick pic and sending it with a follow-up message. Even if they cum and go (but don’t delete), this gives them a little present to open the next time they start thinking about losing themselves in you.
💦 👕 #WetTshirtContest
What better way to beat the heat than with a good ol’ fashioned Wet T-Shirt Contest?! Pull out your tightest, skimpiest tee and get wet! Throw on some music, pull out the hose, and make it a production to remember.
From July 8–18, post your wet pics, gifs, and vids to Explore for a chance to win a tip bonus or gift card. In your caption, be sure to include #WetTshirtContest (check your spelling!). To ensure you’re considered, don’t delete your entries until the winners are announced.
