Or women that knew how to manage slaves that earned money. No reason they can't do it all.

OWK is a business. plain and simple. They produce videos, web site, etc and offer an experience for submissive men and dominant women.

But isn't it arguable that the experience is more geared toward submissive men, and really, honestly, is only barely geared toward dominant women?  How many threads have you seen femdoms start here, or anywhere, saying this is a "must visit" place?  My theory is that if it was geared toward dominant women, too, it would be different.  I wonder, even, if a place was truly geared toward dominant women, how many of the submissive audience you'd lose in the process.

The femdom market is under-served (if served at all) because the market is too small.  Look at how many femdoms go to m/m porn for their enjoyment.  Has anyone seen any femdom porn that honestly is produced by a woman, for women?

Still, I think the market may be larger, I think it's growing.  I've been talking to a couple of producers of m/m bondage porn (yes, I do have some other motives for that, heh), and I've been hearing that the number of *female* subscibers is quite high and surprising to them.  I suppose this shouldn't shock me, I am a member of a few bdsm sites that cater to gay men, and I buy m/m bdsm porn.  But there are more of us!  Now, that's quite interesting.  If women are going to m/m porn more and more, who is to say the market isn't ready for real femdom porn, honestly, truely produced for women?  This is honestly one of my "pet projects" for 2008, but will probably end up being 2009 or 2010 if I am lucky.  Because one has to be ready to lose their shorts on the investment.  I'm not prepared to build a business plan and determine the size of the market, rather, I want to just produce something at a loss and put it out there and see what happens.  Who knows, maybe we'll all be surprised.

My thought is that when all is said and done, true "femdom porn" will probably appeal *greatly* (more so than the femdom porn they are watching now) to about 10% of "male subs" and be "interesting, but not what they'd pay for" for the rest of the market, because it won't be what they are used to.  That's just my personal guess though.
