I woke up feeling as refreshed as I'd ever felt. I stared at the ceiling with a huge grin on my face. I had fucked Katie last night and it had been incredible. But we still had a website to build and I still had advertisers to secure. I got out of bed and made my way to our living room where Aaron was already up with a cup of coffee working on the website.
"We still don't have a name, you know," he said without looking away from his screen.
I sighed, "We'll get there. We need advertisers, too."
"I bet a frat would advertise," Aaron suggested. It wasn't a bad idea. One of these frats might be seedy enough to advertise on what was essentially a pornography website.
"Where's Frank?" I asked.
"In his room."
I went over and knocked on his door.
"Yeah, what?" came the reply through the door.
"Do you have any contacts at Sigma Epsilon?" That was the biggest frat on campus, known for its huge, out-of-control parties and complete monetary chokehold on the administration. They couldn't be shut down with a SWAT team.
"Yeah, why? You wanna take pictures of them naked?" Frank said, still through the door.
"No, I want them to advertise on the site." I could hear his reluctance.
"Alright, I'll send you a few numbers."
By noon, we had a whiteboard full of possible names for the site sitting in the living room.
"I just don't think 'Sophistifornicate' works, ya know?" Aaron said. He was right. It was clunky.
"It's such a shame 'Playboy' is already taken. That's like the perfect amount of classy and trashy," Frank added.
Pretty much everything was ready at this point except the advertisers and the name. I had left a few voicemails at the frat, but I don't think anyone there woke up until about 2 PM. I had written the interview up during the name brainstorming session. It was short, but serviceable.
"What about California Girls?" I asked.
"I think we'd be infringing on Katy Perry's copyright," Frank responded.
Our board still had dozens of names. Skankford (too trashy), Infinite Sex (too obtuse), Heaven (Bryan Adams song), etc.
"How about we do a filler name?" I suggested, "It's more important that we get the site out there than the name be perfect."
"Let's just call it 'The Voyeur something,'" Frank said.
"The Voyeuristic.," said Aaron. It was good enough. Now we just needed the advertisers. At that exact moment, my phone rang. I picked up.
"Mmmyellow," I said.
"Hey, is this the person looking for seedy advertising?" Came a male voice on the other end.
"That would be me," I said.
"We have something perfect."
"Oh, do tell."
"Well, every year, Sigma Epsilon holds a big party-"
"I thought you did that every week," I said.
"No, no. This one's different. It's a strip club party. We convert the frat house into a strip club. Poles, private rooms, everything."
"And you hire strippers?"
"No, the strippers are coeds."
"And this is all very above board I assume."
"There's a reason 'seedy advertising' perked our interest."
"Alright, when's the party?"
"Four days from now."
"We'll do $500 for the ad. Just send us a photoshop and we'll put it in there."
"$500?" The guy said with some shock in his voice.
"Remember, we got 12,000 hits in less than 90 minutes," I looked at Aaron and he grinned back.
"Ok, fine. What's your PayPal?"
"Wait, wait, wait. $500 plus free admittance to the party," I added.
"Sure, why not? A couple nerds can't ruin a party." the dude said.
We squared away the money and the ad and the site was ready to launch in another hour.
"Alright, Frank," I said, "the second this goes live, you send it to every single person in your contacts."
"Fine, but only for the money. The more views this gets, the more money we can get from advertising," he responded.
"You ready, Aaron?" Aaron looked at me with glee as his finger hovered over the 'enter' button. "Alright, do it." Aaron hit enter and Frank began sending the link. We had bought 'thevoyeuristic.com' to make the link easy to find and communicate. That brought down our $500, $150 of which was already going to Katie. That left $350 minus whatever we needed to spend, which would then be split three ways. In minutes, we had dozens of text messages (our names and contact info were on the site). We watched the hits go up as visitor after visitor looked at the racy pictures of Katie. The thing is, people weren't clicking because it was pictures of a hot woman. You can get that anywhere. It was because it was a hot woman they knew and could communicate with.
"Best to just let it run, yeah?" Frank said.
Aaron and I nodded and we left the computer to let the numbers do their thing. We had a party and I had suddenly come up with a new plan.
**FOUR DAYS LATER**
It was the night of the party and time to put the plan into motion. The website was a moderate success, sitting at around 100,000 hits. Its traffic had gone down since the novelty had worn off. We knew we needed more content and we couldn't just photograph Katie again. And I had a plan regarding this party. Actually, I had two plans. The first was to proposition as many girls as we could to appear on the website. The second was my plan for me to get laid again. A strip club full of coeds sounded like a damn good time and I wanted to get some. Four days was a long time, both for the website and for my dick. Aaron also seemed giddy about the possibility of being teased by coeds, Frank less so.
I dressed up a little for our night out, wanting to seem a bit classy. I wore a polo shirt and khakis, which was normal attire for me anyway. Frank and Aaron wore t-shirts and jeans. We walked to fraternity row and by the time we turned the block, we could already hear the music pounding and could see what was probably about 50 people on the lawn waiting in line to get in. The three of us walked right up to the front where there was a large bouncer, probably a football player for the school.
"Hold it," he said, "back of the line like everyone else."
"We talked to Shaun," I responded, "we did advertising for this event. Go dig him up."
The bouncer rolled his eyes. "Ayo Shaun!" he shouted over the booming music.
After a moment, the Shaun I had spoken to on the phone appeared.
"Ayy these guys are good, let em in," he said.
"They don't have to pay?" the bouncer asked.
