Mike splits his “professional life” between diligently tracking the latest whims of the Aussie sex industry, and wading through his responsibilities as adult gaming editor over at AdultVisor – both part of RLN Media. He has been working with our founder Simon Regal for over a decade. In Simon’s words: “Yeah, about twelve years too long”. With a sharp eye for the weirdest sex trends (and the world’s dirtiest red-light secrets), Mike delivers extensive guides and blunt, practical insights to anybody who will listen. Likely in possession of The World’s Dirtiest Search History™.
Mike on Red Light Australia:
I’ve been working with Simon (our founder) for almost a decade now. In fact, the reason we started working together was because he had the insane idea of tracking the entire Aussie sex industry, not just small pockets of activity in Sydney and Melbourne.
He wanted to launch new sites in Gold Coast, Perth and Brisbane… and needed some poor sap to morph the research into something readable.
I’d been covering the adult industry for many years – mostly adult games, porn reviews, etc. I agreed to help cover this Australia portal… not expecting that I’d soon become familiar with a gazillion brothels and massage shops in the arse-end of Buttfuck Nowhere around Oz.
It’s been… an eye-opening experience.
These days, I balance my time working on our main adult blog (AdultVisor) and managing a small team of contributors who help to keep this site ticking over with the latest intel.
