We made it out of 2020, kinda. I should preface my post with the statement that I understand what is going on with the pandemic I understand WHY things are closed . I know we can’t wave a magic wand and have things go back to the way they were in 2019. The course of history has forever been changed. I am feeling a bit nostalgic of 2019 lately though. I think we all miss going to movies or concerts or a hot yoga class: We all miss something. I suppose the best thing to do in any situation that you have no control over is to reflect on the good rather than the bad. One good thing that has happened from all of this is I have been forced to slow things down. My gyms have closed, which was my main source of extra curricular activity outside of work. I have found myself with time on my hands that wasn’t there before but somehow I’m busier than I’ve ever been. Covid protocols for my industry are expensive and strict. So great deal of my life is booking and managing testing for anyone who shoots. Testing comes in late many times and shoots are cancelled often. When shoots are cancelled all the work I did to for those shoots goes down the toilet and I have to start from scratch. It’s stressful and expensive but anytime I catch myself complaining about how different things are, I take a deep breath and turn grateful that I’m even able to work. So many other industries have been devastated. I’m very lucky. I often reflect on how fortunate I am. I can make my own hours for the most part. I can pick and chose what work I want to do. I find myself being over taken by production duties and having to turn down custom video requests. For me to stop everything I’m doing for the productions I’m working on to go back and forth with someone over something they may or may not want to pay money to actually order and then when I do quote them a price they aren’t willing to pay it, I just find it easier not to do customs at this point. There’s a opportunity cost for me to stop planning my productions or stop editing and marketing my tried and true content to film a very niche custom video for one person. So right now I”m just not filming customs. I’m also not working with other producers who are not following the guidelines for our industry. By doing so I have found a happy balance between work and personal time. I have been in the industry for over 17 years. the first 15 year of my career I worked my ass off day and night..I think I’m over that hustle. I did that hustle then so that NOW I can make my money work for me. So every day of my life right now I am incredibly thankful for what i have now. I remember what I came from, I remember not having anything. I remember starting out wishing I could some day be in the position I am in now. So to be here now, is incredible. I am blessed. I could not have gotten here without the support of those of you reading this now.

I’m very excited to see some of my friends thriving right now as well. Many of my costars are doing very well on onlyfans and their clip stores. Its great to see them succeed. I wish everyone could be happy to see their friends succeed. That’s not the case however. I see distain from bitter jaded people who aren’t doing so well. They are not working so they have idol hands. Idol hands do the devils work. I’m pretty sure these idol hands are the people going around spreading fake news and stalking post by quanon ( sp?) oh fuck it I honestly don’t care if that’s spelled right)) . Listen, if you’re into that shit, you are entitled to believe what ever the fuck you want but don’t send me unsolicited shit posts about it. I wont even bother watching/reading/listening to what ever nonsense you send.

With this pandemic has come an opportunity for me to reflect on all my blessings. I’m forced to live a humble and simple life. In a world that I use to feel forced to be “ON” all the time, I am now finding solace in just sitting back and taking in the blessings. I can not get upset over the things I can not change. I work on disciplining my mind. It’s easy to run to the internet forums to try to find answers to why things are the way they are only to find fake news after fake news conspiracy theory websites that are designed specifically for lost people who need someone or something to blame. I have gotten caught up with it once or twice but I rather enjoy this opportunity to discipline my mind to filter out bs. Since the beginning of speech, humans have created stories to explain the things that they did not understand. Today we are no more advance than our bipedal ancestors. I’m blessed to live in a place where I am allowed to have my own opinion and write my thoughts. I’m blessed to have access to those BS websites. I’m blessed to have running water and food at my fingertips. Most importantly, I’m blessed to have my health and support from so many amazing people. So Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my thoughts. I know it can seem annoying to read someone who isn’t struggling talk about how it’s important to show gratitude but believe it or not, when I had NOTHING, I was even more grateful. Gratitude is something I have had to train my brain to do in good times and bad times. Gratitude is the #1 important thing to have each and every day.

I have some fun news! I became an affiliate for Real cocks. I use their dildos in nearly every single one of my videos for the evolved sites and submissive X. The dicks are expensive but well worth the investment. They feel great. It’s hard to find a quality sex toy. Most sex toys actually aren’t meant to be inserted. They have a warning label on the packaging that states “for novelty purposes only”. That’s crazy! The best money I ever spent, was on buying a Real cock. I became an affiliate and they sent me “James”. Check out my unboxing video. From November 25-30th, they are having a Sale. Use promo code BLACK2022 at www.arielscocks.com to get 20% off. They don’t do this sale often so get it while you can

I was having some issues with Only fans in 2021. They kept asking me to reverify my account. I would verify each time they asked but they would keep asking me ( nearly once a week) to reverify. I was able to get in touch with a customer service rep who helped me get everything figured out. So I’m verified and they are actually paying me now…yay!! So please check out my profile https://onlyfans.com/arielxoxo and let’s have some fun.

I have never really been interested in doing streaming or texting on other platforms but I have got to hand it to onlyfans, their platform is super user-friendly and it really does put power in the hands of the content creators. They don’t take a huge chunk of money. Clips stores are notorious for taking 40% of content makers’ income. I realize they have to pay for hosting, storage, legal shit, and billing but 40% is fucking crazy talk. Onlyfans takes 20% which isn’t bad at all considering if you got your own website, CCbill or Segpay take something like 15% and you’re left paying for hosting, legal, and all the other crap that comes along with having your own site. So love them or hate them, onlyfans has a great deal for performers. If you are interested in becoming a content maker I highly recommend them. If you use this link, I get a little kickback so it would be awesome if you sign up using this link https://onlyfans.com/?ref=474661

I’ve had a weird past few months. I moved from California to Nevada… 2 weeks after the move, I was hospitalized for a week with cellulitis and MRSA. One of the worst parts is not knowing where I got MRSA. I had just moved and had not established a gym to train at yet. So while everyone I talk to assumes I got it from a “dirty gym”; it’s simply isn’t possible. Two days before my move, I sustained a mild head injury in my BJJ class. It’s common for the classes to be overcrowded, and two nights before my move, a very intense spar session smashed into me. I got a really heavy heel to the face. I decided I needed to take time off training since I was moving and I needed to stay sharp for the big event. So I had not been training at all and yet here I was, 2 weeks after my move, with a potentially lethal infection that put me in the hospital for nearly a week. I just haven’t felt myself since. I lost a lot of weight from atrophy and the very very very high doses of antibiotics I was on for nearly 3 weeks had me just not feeling like myself. I felt like I had been body-snatched. As if I were just existing. It seemed very dark. Mentally, it has been hard for me to trust cleanliness anywhere I go. Maybe I got MRSA on my elbow from putting my elbows on a table at a restaurant, Maybe I got it from laying on someone’s dirty sofa…I have no idea where it came from and that kinda fucked with my brain a little. But I think I’m getting back into feeling like myself I wanted to apologize to everyone for not being active on here. I have been shooting content on the down-low meaning, I am not tweeting or posting about every shoot I do and I’ll tell you why: If I put any teaser up I will immediately get someone asking me for that content that was just shot and could not possibly be edited or ready for distribution. While I’m flattered by the enthusiasm I mentally didn’t want to deal with that. I did not want to tell each and every person asking that I wasn’t emotionally available to accommodate them in the slightest.

With that said, Evolvedfightslez.com recently wrapped our Autumn Tournament. Today, however, We updated with my return to the mats to challenge the winner of said tournament. It felt good to be back on the mats but more bittersweet I would say. I miss having challengers. While my tournament does display the best of the best, the pickings are slim. There just aren’t enough really good pornstar grapplers out there. So this gets me fantasizing about maybe doing sessions again or maybe starting a non-adult site to wrestle with elite grapplers just for my own desire to be challenged. I doubt a site like that will ever be as lucrative as the porn sites I run but I’m at a point in my life where I can start doing passion projects which will be emotionally more rewarding than the money maker projects. But I’m lucky because I CAN do both.

Thank you everyone and stay tuned for more. I’m still in the process of moving ( believe it or not) My initial move from CA to NV got me into my rental. In the meantime, I was able to find a great home to buy. So now I’m moving OUT of the rental and into the house but the folx I bought from need to rent it back until THEIR house is ready in March. So I get to move again in a few months. This is great because I need some time to settle in and recovery.

Well the time has come. I was born and raised in California. I’ve lived in the Bay Area and in Los Angeles for the bulk of my life. I do love California. The weather is great, the scenery is beautiful; there are so many stunning hikes and camping areas to go to. But, it’s time to say good bye. I have had my company set up in Nevada for the past 5 years. I have been driving back and forth for 5 years. During Covid lockdowns with travel restrictions, I was spending much more time sitting in my car than I cared to. The Pandemic ignited a spark in me, I suppose. I realized I would much rather live closer to my work with my family living in the same town that I work in so that I wasn’t sitting on the road for 10-20 hours a month. With everything closed, people started encroaching on my favorite hikes and camping areas. I’m over it. I’m ready to move on. While I do not LOVE Nevada, I am very happy that they are business friendly towards adult companies like myself. Im simply going to use Nevada as home base so that when things do open up ( looking like 2024) I can travel easily out of my home base while not having to pay california prices. I will miss my training partners for sure. I have moved a few times and it always hurts when you leave a good gym that has become your family. I do plan on coming back to train with those buttheads often tho. On to the next chapter.

I have been mulling an idea over for a while. This site cost me money to keep up. I have domain fees, hosting fees. The ROI just isn’t there. I haven’t been active on here either but that’s mostly because the nature of the site being adult makes it nearly impossible to make any revenue from it. I have recently gotten sex toy companies asking about paid ads but I’m not getting enough to pay for the site. Also, I am opening a SFW site myjitsjourney.com which I will be active on and which I will be able to monetize. So it looks like this is the end for this blog. I will keep it up for a few more week and then the site will be a redirect to my onlyfans fan page.

Thank you all for the support and I hope to see you all on the next chapter of my journey!

UPDATE AUG 16, 2021

I am overwhelmed with the love and support you folx have shown to my blog. Apparently some of you do read what I’m posting and you do like my blog and will miss it if it’s gone. So I will keep it up for now. Thanks again for all the love and support.

I haven’t posted a blog on here in while. Covid has me working extra hard just to make the same progress. I feel like there were 100 million extra steps that I had to do just to get the same results. Keeping my pay sites updating regularly during a pandemic had its trials and tribulations, but I made it work. The one thing I do appreciate about the whole shit year of 2020 was it forced me to see that small changes in my career are going to be beneficial. I want to make my business 100% online. I do not want a brick an mortar business. I want to get rid of my studio entirely. Studios are expensive had high maintenance. My issue is figuring out how I will produce a high production value product for the Evolved Fights series without a studio and without having to physically be on set to film it. I am potentially going to sell the sites in 5 years. That’s an option for me. But that’s along ways away. What I am doing in the mean time is building some “mainstream” sites that are fully PG and SFW ( safe for work) I have spend the last 15 years doing fitness and martial arts and I do consider myself an authority in those areas. Believe it or not, I get just as many folx asking me to be their coach as I get folx asking me for webcam or custom videos. I feel honored to be regarded as someone who can add value to people’s lives. I am working on a freemium blog that will give tips and ideas for working out, eating healthfully and keeping a positive mind set. If this sounds interesting to you, Please sign up for my email list at www.myjitsjourney.com By all means, if this is not of interest to you, DO NOT sign up. This site is 100% professional mainstream. There will be no nudes no porn. If you want that, say on this site. I can keep everyone happy but I need to keep things separate. Signing up doesn’t do me any favors if you are not interested or have no intention on reading or engaging in health and fitness subjects.

Howdy Y’all! Well a while back I had teased that I would be launching SubmissiveX.com. Well Today, we have gone live. I’m doing a soft launch which means I am only promoting on spaces where super fans can see the announcement. In the next few weeks, I will start promoting on other websites and sending out pressers ( press releases). The sites is going to be Streaming only. If there is one thing I have learned from COVID it’s that most people have become accustomed to streaming services. I think porn has fallen behind in tech and it’s really kinda done us all a disservice. So I know I can hear you groaning about streaming but that’s how it’s going to be. You can still purchase videos if you like but you will need to purchase each scene individually. This may help cut back on piracy even but that isn’t my intent for doing stream only. I am going with what is current for the times and I see other sites doing the same soon so I just wanna be ahead of the curve. I’m sorry to keep this brief. I don’t have too much other news. COVID has made me job 4Xs as hard as ever what with booking cancellations or tests not coming back in time and travel restrictions. It’s been a doozy. I have to get ready for a few weeks of production in Las Vegas. Thank you for your support.

2020 has been an interesting year to say the least. I suppose there is something uniting about COVID-19. It’s a global pandemic that has affected nearly every single country. There has been sympathy with everyone when shipping has been delayed or if New content hasn’t been created because everyone in the world understands that things have been changed due to COVID-19. Before, all creatures of earth had only a few things they could all relate to. We all see the same sun and moon ( although at different times). When I was a kid growing up, I would look up at the moon and think “there’s a kid out there who has things worse than I do looking up at this same moon right now and we are connected right now”. I have no idea if that was true, or if anyone was looking up at that moon at that same exact time looking for a soul to connect with, but it was a truth I made up in my head to help me cope with things as a young child. With COVID, I can watch the news and see so many people being affected by this Virus and I become sympathetic to everyone because we are ALL going through this. I wasn’t destroyed by COVID but some businesses have been. Every day that goes by, I’m reminded of an industry that has been decimated by this Pandemic. Artists all any kind who perform for crowds, concerts, people who work at conventions, People who do sports….the reach of this is sooooo huge. It’s hard not to be sad in some way.

One positive thing that COVID has done, is it has forced me to slow down. All my school/classes were cancelled for a while. All my training was forced to stop due to gym closures. Here is CA, gyms and salons are still closed. The gyms were open for about 2.5 weeks and then got closed down again. Since about 5 hours of my day was spent training, I found myself with some extra time on my hands. I decided to use this time to grow and learn. I been studying herbalism and survival skills. This has become something I am very passionate about. I can see myself retiring and living a very minimalistic life. I try to follow the ideas of Stoicsm. I don’t want to be hedonistic, I don’t want to chase luxury, I just want a life where I appreciate what I have without having stress over finances. What currently makes me happy is learning how to live off of what the earth provides.

Another thing that has filled up my time has been working on building the submissivex.com site. I guess I should give a little background on how subX started. I was producing for kink for a while. I was getting a lot of cancellations which cost me a lot of money. I have to pay kill fees, locations still need to be paid even if models don’t show. Crew still gets paid even if we don’t shoot…hey they showed up to do their job I gotta pay them something ( kill fee). The cancellations were killing my profit margins. I told myself that if I could just create a shoot last minute when there is a cancellation, I could sell it on my clipstores and at least break even. So it worked like this: I would have 2 models booked for a shoot. I would have my crew booked as well and every once in a while I would have a location booked. I had to file for film permits, insurance for the location……I would buy craft services ( food for people to eat while they are on set) I had expense whether the shoot happens or not, I have costs. If one of the 2 female models no-showed or couldn’t shoot, rather than cancel the shoot if I couldn’t find a replacement model day of, I would just turn the shoot into a lesbian domination shoot where the model who did show up would dominate me. This saved me a TON of money in cancellations but it also started doing really really really well on my clip stores, on my pornhub profiles and on the sites I was able to get licensing agreements on. So Submissive X actually started being a major bread winner for my business. Now that Submissive X is in the black regularly and now that I have time to work on a stand alone site, I have turned that into my next project. So submissive X will now have a home. I’m going to make it streaming ( I know I can hear some of you grumbling already but cheer up we will allow downloads) The difference with Subx and my evolved sites is that the evolved fights give you the ability to download everything once you are a member. Subx you will only be able to download if you pay for the download otherwise you will still have access to stream anything on the site.

I’m not sure I want to be in front of the camera too much longer. COVID made me realize I hate wearing makeup or dolling up. If I could wear pajamas all day, I would. I also don’t like trying to promote myself. I hate trying to hype my work. I am much much better at hyping OTHER people’s work. I LOVE promoting companies and models that I like. I can sell the hell out of anyone else. ….I am very timid when it comes to promoting myself but I am a genius when it comes to marketing and promoting other people/companies. I have kept up with marketing since I took classes in college. Things change with marketing but principals stay the same. There are so many new platforms and ad buying networks and it is a lot of work to keep up with all of it.

I learned many years ago when I tore my ACL, that I would not be able to stay in front of the camera for ever. I knew that I would need to develop skills so that if anything happened to my industry, I could bounce back. I didn’t want a “BACKUP plan” I wanted a ” multiple streams of income” plan. I have set myself up pretty well for that. With that said. Submissive X will be going live soon. I do not know how long I will maintain it. But I’m happy it will be up soon. Please enjoy.

I wanted to make a post to keep those of you who follow me up to date. I appreciate your support. I understand many of you get bored and you’ve been reaching out to make small talk, which I appreciate. It’s always nice to hear from all of you. For me, I’d prefer if you told me more about yourself rather than reach out to me to try to get me to talk about myself. I don’t like talking about myself too me. If you follow me on my social media accounts, I’m not a huge “extrovert”. I know that sounds ironic because I have no problem flashing my junk to everyone on camera. But there is a huge difference between interacting with a camera and then having to interact on social media.

I run a small business which has been stalled at the moment, like most small businesses due to covid-19. But unlike most small business, my business is not entitled to any bail out or relief as the relief package specifically excludes anyone who shoots anything considered sexy…sorry instagram models or anybody who has posted skin on the internet.

If you are a business owner, I’m sure you understand how fun it is right now to try to hustle to keep your workers with food in their mouths while you cover your overhead for your business and health. I’m very blessed to have been able to save up and plan however many of the costar and models and crew are not so lucky. It’s painful to know many people are struggling and the relief packages can not or will not help them. Even if some of you can get loans for your business right now I recommend you read the fine print on your deferral. Many banks are expecting a big lump some at the end of the term of your loan. For example, Let say your bank gives you a defferal for 3 months on your building you pay $1000/month on and it is April 1st today. May-June-July 1st, you will ow $3000 lump sum on top of the next lease amount of $1000. If you call your bank, you may be able to set up a payment plan so try to call them NOW!!! You will be put on hold for about 3 hours but trust me, YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN WHTA YOUR EXACT SITUATION IS.

I have been spending my days researching information to pass on to my fellow kinksters. I have been researching ways to keep my business open. I Have been working very very hard, day and night to be creative on ways to keep income coming in so I can keep my doors open. So you will not find me doing webcams or private chats. The short term income from that creates an opportunity cost for me both short term and long term. I chose to work smarter, not harder. Also I want to leave those things open to the models who always do that; where that is their bread and butter. The market is saturated right now with models doing work out videos or webcamming, I do not wish to be in that market. I didn’t do cam shows before and i’m not going to start. My time is much better spent creating content and helping others.

right now porn is not shooting. We are on a voluntary moratorium. The FSC has recommend that models only shoot with their partners or room mates at their own home…..this is a good recommendation. I may be able to shoot in the future if I am able to book couples for my mixed wrestling match. But I will gauge what the CDC and WHO recommend and my professors at my data analytics school are recommending from the stats we are getting in. So that’s what I’m doing. Yes I’m keeping very very busy. Thank you for your support. If you find any helpful information about relief, please email me ariel@ariel-x.com so I can research it and send to others who may need it. Cheers. Be safe.
