💦 Come As You Are 🏳️🌈
SextPanther Models Monthly Newsletter: Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2025
📣 Be Bold, Be Proud! 💪
“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” - Audre Lorde
June may be winding down, but we know Pride never ends! Stay loud, stay proud, and keep flying those flags, whatever they may be 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
🌈 Pride Month Spotlight
To celebrate Pride month, we’re highlighting Justine Cross—one of our long-time queer models!
As a queer creator, what does Pride mean to you?
Pride means claiming space - unapologetically, loudly, and joyfully. It’s a celebration of survival, resilience, and self-determination. It’s also a reminder that visibility is powerful, but community is everything. Pride isn’t just about a parade or a flag - it’s about building a community where we take care of each other, lift each other up, and never shrink ourselves to fit someone else’s comfort.
What do you enjoy most about being in the adult industry?
The freedom, the money, and the creativity. I love that I get to build relationships on my terms, and create spaces that are deeply intentional — whether online or in person. I don’t just sell content, I build connection, fantasy, and trust. The adult industry gives me room to be powerful, playful, and complex, all at once.
Who or what inspires you?
I’m inspired by people who transgress with elegance, the ones who are bold enough to live on their own terms, and generous enough to make space for others to do the same. I’m inspired by queer elders, sex workers who paved the way, and every artist, domme, and creator who uses their voice to liberate instead of dominate. Also: intelligence, kindness, and skills.
Do you have any advice for other creators, particularly queer models?
You don’t owe anyone softness, perfection, or assimilation. You get to be exactly who you are, on your terms. The industry is always changing, but you are the constant. Protect your peace, build your boundaries, and charge what you’re worth. There is no one way to be desirable - your existence is the standard.
Can you share a moment in your career that you're particularly proud of?
I’m proud every time someone tells me they felt seen, safe, or powerful because of something I created. But I’m especially proud of building my own studio spaces from the ground up, places that center queer desire, femdom energy, and deep, intentional kink. That kind of freedom doesn’t just happen - it’s built. And I built it. I've also been in a TON of mainstream media, so go look it all up and be entertained.
Any parting words?
This work is real work. This pleasure is real power. And this community, our queer, kinky, brilliant constellation of creators is sacred. Take up space. Ask for more. Work hard, play hard, and be good citizens of the world.
✨ Site Updates: Coming Soon!
Summer is heating up and the developers have been cookin’! Take a look at the smorgasbord of site updates coming throughout the month of July 👀
🚫 Limits to User Audio + Video
Users will be limited to 60 seconds when recording or uploading an audio message or a video clip to send to models.
🛎️ Improved Notification Settings
You’ll have more control over which notifications you get and how you get them. We’re adding a “Browser” column in the Notifications widget on your Settings page, which will enable you to control what type of browser notifications you’d like to receive.
You will also be able to adjust your settings so that you’re only notified when paid users add you (users who have spent money) as well as the ability to only get notifications when your paid media (not free media) has been unlocked.
⌛ Minimum Call Time Flexibility
Instead of having to wait for 8 hours, you’ll be able to change your minimum call time for phone and video calls at any point.
💲 Pricing Flexibility for Locked Media
Right now, you can only adjust pricing in 25-cent increments for media unlocks. With this update, you’ll be able to type in 1-cent increments, allowing you to price media at, for example, $6.99 😜 You can still use the +/- buttons to increase or decrease your price by 25 cents.
🤑 Filtering for Premium Contacts
In the dropdown menu for filtering and sorting your contacts, you’ll be able to filter by Premium, which will show you all your users who have purchased $20 or more on the site.
💰 Real-Time Updates of Earnings + Credit Balance
As a user spends on you, you’ll be able to see your earnings increase in real time from them in the right-hand user sidebar. You’ll also be able to see, if the user shows their balance, their balance update in real time as they spend and add credits.
👷♂️ Building Deeper Connections
You know that building a regularly returning clientele helps that money keep flowin’, but how do you create regulars? It’s not just the visuals—it’s how you make them feel 🤤
💡 Most requests are emotional in disguise.
Whether praise, control, or fantasy, there’s usually a deeper need, validation, escape, affection, or safety. Spotting that helps you connect on a whole new level. Remember to jot this down in your notes!
🎭 Roleplay is emotional storytelling.
It’s not just “acting out” a scenario. You’re giving your user space to become someone they can’t be in their regular life. Ask small questions, mirror their language, and build something unforgettable together.
👀 You can read more than you think when your users respond.
Fast responses = excitement and enthusiasm. Repeated phrases = emotional attachment. Silence = vulnerability. These are clues you can use to shape the vibe in real time.
🛑 Boundaries don’t ruin the mood, they create it.
Users feel safer and more engaged when you’re confident in what you will and won’t do. Redirect requests with playful energy, like, “I don’t offer that, but here’s what I do…”
🪞 You’re not just a performer. You’re a mirror.
They feel it when you reflect on what your user craves: power, softness, attention. That energy builds trust and loyalty, as long as you protect your own energy too.
