I am sure many of you are already familiar with the Dominican porn site Toticos. I recently talked to the guy behind the site in the most recent installment of my series of interviews of people in the sex industry. Shimmy is the internet porn producer perhaps best known for the hub-bub that bubbled up when he started an adult site featuring Native American models.
Now Shimmy runs Toticos, a site full of pics and videos of him banging hot Dominican girls. The interesting thing is that pretty much any guy with a little money and balls have sex with similar women in the Dominican Republic as prostitution is widespread and common.
That makes Shimmy’s site Toticos all the more intriguing. He seems to be the only person trying to run an entire porn site from the country. At a time when free internet porn abounds, Toticos is one I still feel is worth joining simply for the fact that it puts you right there when you can’t be in person.
When did you first visit the Dominican Republic?
A few years ago.
When did you watch your first porn?
Around age thirteen in the VHS tape days. I think it was called hometown honeys.
How did you get into porn?
Most everyone gets into porn accidentally. I went to school to be a programmer and as a side hustle I developed websites for local businesses back in the 90’s to pay the bills. I did a few blog style websites for fun and put up some porn banner ads and started slowly making a little money, which grew. Eventually I started my own adult sites purchasing and leasing content from other studios at the time, and in more recent years I got in front of the camera for a few studios as paid talent to fuck chicks and realized I had all the skills needed to be a one man show. From initial idea to filming to running the back end of the website, promoting it, etc..
Can people still make money with porn with all the free shit available like the tube sites and torrents?
Yes with rare exclusive specialized “real” no bullshit content you can still do quite well. But you have to have lived the experience and everything needs to be authentic and not staged. People like real shit and I don’t front them with my product. Reality porn has to be real in my opinion. My sites NDNgirls.com with Native American Indian girls and Toticos with Dominican girls are prime examples. Not all the girls are model perfect, but they are definitely the real deal.
Do your friends and family know about your porn career?
Yes they know. Though I rarely discuss it because my life doesn’t revolve around porn. I just consider it a fun lucrative hobby that I happen to be good at just because I’ve been doing it for so long. For me porn solves more problems than it creates so it’s worthwhile for me. It’s far better than just tricking off with girls. It’s like a return on the initial investment the way I look at it.
Are you ever recognized in public?
Fruit stands, dollar stores, middle of the street, bus stations, yeah. Here and back in America unfortunately. Usually people I don’t know running up to me giving me high fives and whatnot but it sometimes catches me off guard and niggas don’t realize I don’t like to talk about some porn episode on my site while I’m in line in the grocery store but I guess its cool. I sometimes think I need to change my hat and/or not wear the same clothes I have on in the videos in public.
What’s the best thing that ever happened at a porn shot you were on? What’s the worst?
I’m happy anytime a girl swallows or takes a load on the face then smiles big afterwards. The enthusiasm makes my day. It really makes my day. Some girls put their back into it, others are there to do the minimum amount of work possible. I prefer the ones that put some effort and love into the scene as it makes the end product better and me happier. The worst thing that’s happened on shoots here… power outages, running out of tape or memory card space or battery packs, and uncooperative girls. If I get a girl that really doesn’t want to be here and has no enthusiasm, I send her home and cut my losses. That has happened a few times. I think the main thing is to pick girls that really, really want to be in front of the camera that are mature enough to realize it’s their life, their body, and their decision.
What’s the best part of the Dominican Republic? The worst?
The beaches, the warm weather, and the girls are the best part… they’re all very affordable. The ones that aren’t usually aren’t worth your time anyway. Everyday is an adventure here. Life is much more exciting than anywhere else I’ve been. One thing for sure is you won’t be bored here. The worst part of DR is everyone hustles you or attempts to as a gringo. People pretend they don’t have change when you buy stuff, street hustlers beg and extort, etc.. There’s a lot of traps and you can’t get a straight deal in too many places as a gringo. Once you adapt to the gringo expat lifestyle though you’ve got it made in the shade and learn to avoid all the pitfalls and live your life. The tourists fresh off the plane don’t have a clue for the most part what they are in for. But if they’re only here for a few days there’s no need to bother learning anything. Just come, spend, and leave like it’s Vegas.
Who is your favorite porn star of all time?
Other than myself, Misty Stone. She’s my curly haired monster.
Favorite website?
Other than Toticos.com and NDNgirls.com I actually enjoy blog style tourist websites like Trikepatrol.com, Blackvaginafinder.com, Thehabibshow.com, AsianSexDiary.com, and MrNoGood.com. Anything with realism that’s not staged with lots of humor thrown in the mix. In a way I consider the sites educational. I don’t take any of this seriously and try to have fun with the girls and whatnot when I do movies. Some people say I laugh and joke too much and have too much fun. Also I like to see familiar places and faces that I can relate to.
What do you think about prostitution?
Define prostitution.
Thanks for doing the interview. Is there anything you’d like to promote to my site’s readers?
www.toticos.com, www.ndngirls.com and www.3rdworldgirls.com.
What is the restrictions or laws for producing porn in Dominican Republic?
Kind regards,
Dale
I’m no legal expert especially about the Dominican Republic. What I do know is that attorneys in that country have publicly stated that it is legal if all parties are consenting adults, porn is sold openly and there are porn channels on cable television, though laws are always subject to interpretation and change. Cheers.
Dominican Republic, Sosua, September 2016
If Pattaya is Disneyworld, Sosua is a local neighberhood playground. Short summary: Find a 5/6 level girl, give her way more than she is worth, and fuck/suck for 2 hours in your hotel. Now you know ALL that goes on in Sosua… nothing else. No night clubs, no strip joints, just a couple of open air restaurants where you sit and pick out a girl. Well, you can pay more and take one for more for all night. Every thing but hotel rooms are way over priced. The food excellent but over priced. golf just ok but way too expensive. Get the point? I had the first girl steal something from me and a second try. I’m going back next week…. yea, sure.
btw: yes, there are a lot of 7’s and above available.
Hi Matt. There are a few clubs. A couple were closed. As were the strip clubs. But a discos are now operating. Sosua is definitely much smaller and different than Pattaya! Cheers.
