Shane’s World was a gonzo porn studio launched in 1997 by the mononymous Shane, the ex-girlfriend of porn director Seymore Butts.

I definitely want people to see the trans scenes that I’ve done, too — find them . As for these films, I thought the “prostitutes” clip looked like it was shot the best. The others seemed like they were really thrown together!
