Bruce Seven Dies

Bruce Seven Behan died Saturday night. He suffered a stroke five years ago which severely curtailed his porn making career.

According to GeneRoss.com, Bruce was living with his mom at the time of his death. His body has already been cremated. His mom requested that there be no funeral services.

Bruce Seven has been married to Bianca since 1983 but they've been separated throughout the '90s.

ELASTIN2: why did bruce seven die?

Luke: To atone for the sins of mankind.

Tex Sexton Dies Of Drug Overdose?

Luke received this note on January 6. I've been unable to confirm it. My phone call to Tex Sexton's voice mail was not returned. Paul Stanley writes: "Luke, I heard that porn stud Tex Sexton died on New Years night (Jan.1). Is this true? Some sort of an overdose? Someone said he was rushed to Tarzana hospital by ambulance,and he died later on that night. Do you have any details regarding this issue? I know that he was engaged to the porno actress Swan. I had the chance to meet them both on a set not too long ago, and they both seemed like really nice people. In fact, I remember talking to him about partying and this like that, because he was a muscian too, and he said he didn't use drugs at all, and he never had. So was this a suicide thing or something? I hope this isn't true, but if it is, I would like to know more about what happened. I tried to call World Modeling, but nobody answered the phones there. I suppose everyone is at the CES show. Anyway, if you know anything, or of you can find out anything, please let us all know."

I chatted with Tex at the December Wildlife Video party. His fiance is the porn star Swann, aka Bobbie Barron, who left Tex late in 1999, I hear.

Paul Little Threatens Scotty Schwartz

I've heard that Paul Little aka Max Hardcore brought a couple of guys over to Scotty Schwartz's house Sunday night and threatened Scotty. I hear that Scotty has filed a police report.

The dispute revolves around some girl that Scotty represents. I hear that Paul Little phoned Scotty with various threats Sunday morning.

Scotty Schwartz writes at 10:45 PM Sunday: Luke, You know I never write you, but in this case I have to let everyone know what is going on and what happened to me tonight.

To make a long story short, Max Hardcore came to my home tonite and threatened me. He doesn't want me to manage a newer girl, because she's shot for him in the past and he wants to continue shooting her, however she has no interest in this. She was with Regan Senter, and was not happy with the kind of work he was getting her.

I met her last thurs. at a Jim Lane shoot. We talked and she decided to leave him and come with me, which is her choice. Max called me this morning and told me not to help this girl in any way, not to book her work and to let him do what he wanted to do with her. She is a very nice, 19 year old girl, her name is Chloe Adams, who is tired of being called a whore, C.n. etc.. (sorry I hate that word) and she's tired of Max pissing on her. When I would not back down and say I would do what he wanted, he said "is that your final answer", I said Yes and he hung up on me. This was 11 ish this morning.

Tonite at approx. 9pm Max showed up at my door. He knocked and I thought it was my roomate and she had forgotten her key, so I opened the door. He, his brother, and his camera man Ray were there. Max and his brother barged in while Ray waited outside. He asked me a few questions about this girl, which I answered not to his liking. He then came at me and I got up from the chair I was in. Max backed me up to the closet door. We spoke for a few seconds, then Max turned away and went and locked my bolt on the door, came back at me and said "this is the first and friendly visit, when I come back, it won't be friendly".

Luke, I have never asked you for help in the past, however this event is too much to let pass. Please let everyone know what kind of person we are dealing with here. Max Hardcore Aka Paul Little is the kind of person we can do without in the industry. He is one of the major reasons why we have problems with the legal system and he is far from important in this industry. All Max wants to do is take advantage of girls, throat Fu.. them, pee on them, basically chew them up and spit them out. I would like everyone, talent, distributors, manufacture's to boycott this man and his movies (if was can call them movies). Let's not be a part of this person making millions of dollars at all of our expenses. Thank you. Scotty Schwartz.

Luke: I talked to an assistant of Paul's at 11PM who said that Paul had already gone to bed. I left a message with my phone number to get his side of this story.

I talked to Scotty about the incident at 11:10. Schwartz lives with porn star Anastasia Blue and AVN photographer Dr.X. who witnessed Paul Little entering Scotty's apartment Sunday evening.

Porner writes: Big bad Max Hardcore needs two guys to back him up while trying to shake down Scotty Schwartz? Was he afraid that the 5 foot tall Scotty would kick his ass? Was this the first time Max had tried to act like a badass with a man instead of just beating the s--- out of women? What a punk. Who is the f---hole, the cocksocket, the little cunt in this situation? Max Hardcore. What a lame piece of s---.

Dangerman writes Luke: "PS I have REALLY gotta start banging some of the porn chicks I write about. Especially the ones with the foreign-sounding names." Good angle Luke. Focus on foreign porn chicks who understand AS LITTLE ENGLISH AS POSSIBLE and your chances increase tremendously :)

Punk writes: The fact that this short man [Scotty Schwartz] can't say 'cunt', yet is supposed to pimp pornstarts around illustrates that he is not interested in getting the girls business as much as he wants to be their personal savior. I've talked with Anastasia before and she referred to Scotty as a great person, with a tinge of pity in her words. It doesn't surprise me that this girl from Texas is staying with him, her protector. The reality is that Scotty is taking girls away from other "managers". So, after the initial work of getting the girl work, recognized and a following, in comes Scotty to scoop her up with sweet words of empathy. If a girl doesn't want to work with someone, or doesn't like to do a particular act, she can make the decision - without changing managers. In the end, if a girl elects to do a scene that she won't particularly like, its because of the money offered. Its her decision. Under Scotty's protection, her options are truncated ... now, who's making decisions for her? Scotty's in the wrong business. His low self-esteem driven hopes of getting a girl's admiration (and maybe a little bit extra) conflict with his "profession". In the end he's still a pimp, just a poor one.

Ridley99 writes on RAME: Recently Max Hardcore threatened the health of Scottie Shwartz , I guess 24 hours of a Christmas Story would drive anyone nuts. I wanted to beat the hell out of Scottie myself when I found out he was shacking up with the love of my life Anastasia Blue. Do you get the feeling that people like sciottie Scwartz and his porn hound budies use up all the fun that was alotted for the human race, in other words guys like Scottie who can f--- Anastasia anytime he wants and will quickly move on to the next girl, while at the same time staying great friends with Anastasia, use up about 90% of the fun god set aside for the human race. The remaining 10% is divided among the remaining 5 billion people in the world. Its kind of like the world was made for guys like Scottie and Charlie Sheen and Puffy Combs and Ron Jeremy etc, we are just the worker ants in thier colony. We drive the trucks that deliver goods to market, we manufacturre those goods, we sell them in Market, we install their phones and pick up their garbage, we police their streets, etc,etc. Thats how I knew nothing bad would happen on Y2K, because that same bad thing would have to happen to Buck Adams or Tom Byron, and it wasn't about to happen. My question is this: how can anyone say life is fair, when 19 year old Anastasia Blue winds up skaking up with Scottie Shwartz , while i take out losers, spend my money, waste my time on the date, listen to their boring conversation, sit through some chick flick and wind up with nothing but a kiss on the cheek at the end of the date.. Life sucks.

Natedog writes on RAME: In an email I received from Katie Gold, she has confirmed she is no longer making new movies. Don't know if this a permanent thing or maybe an extended vacation but she will be missed for the duration. If you enjoyed her work please drop her an email and let her know. I would assume she is getting serious with her real life companion Ian Daniels. She always looked great and did every scene with awesome energy and an attitude very rare in today's "contract girl" market. I would assume she would still work on her website at http://www.katiegold.com, and you can reach her via email at katiegold@katiegold.com, Katie is hands down the quickest and most personal when replying to email.

Vivid Gossip

Vivid is flipping in circles today. They are a demoralized disorganized mess and may be losing some key employees.

Malcom writes: Vivid losing key people does not surprize me. Dave James was unbearable to work for. He listens in on the phone. He would even butt in on a call if he did not like something. He would say "sorry, I picked up the wrong line but I did happen to hear..." Always talking about the FBI and his days in the military. Was a real bastard when noone would buy the G- Rated CD rom games on Atlantean. They sucked though... Don't ever sneak up on him by accident... He jumps and kicks back. You should call him call him. He gets in about 7:15 and answers the phone on the Interactive line not the video telephone line.... If he doesn't know you he will say he is the Security Guard and will tell you to talk back. Listen for the accent. Did you ever hear about how they fired Michael Adams while he was on his honeymoon? He was quickly hired at VCA when he got back.

Luke: While VCA tends to keep its employees, Vivid has long had a high rate of turnover because of internal dissension, low wages, and general unhappiness on the part of its employees.

XXXGen Fires Mike South?

I hear that XXXGen.com is going to fire Mike South, because his gossip column alienated too many potential advertisers, like Seymore Butts.

XXXGen editor Craig Vasiloff responds: "Gossip is a nasty thing - and we will run no story in the magazine without validation."

"When you're in the magazine business," says a source, "you have to decide - are you beholden to your readers or to your advertisers? Or you can do what AVN tries to do and walk the line, but everyone knows that AVN is really beholden to their advertisers. Why do you think there are so many awards categories?"

Vasiloff responds: "I do not speak for AVN - XXXgen Magazine is aimed at the consumer marketplace and the goal is to make every adult star a household name. A positive outlook on an industry already polluted with negatives is the only way to go. I am not saying we won't print an 'expose' but we will only do so if the FACTS support it."

Mike South writes: "Hey Luke...FYI XXXGen has NOT fired me, but I was told that they are making editorial changes. I took it on myself to just resign. Originally they wanted a column with teeth, something to stand out from the usual self serving industry hype, sort of the Luke F-rd style if you will. Regardles it is not like it was a high paying job anyhow...I make more in 2 hours as a consultant so the money is not going to be missed, nor will I stop voicing my opinions, you will just won't read it in XXXGen."

Jenna Jameson

Kara writes: "hi luke....a good friend of mine who recently got into adult business told me soe interesting FACTS on JENNA JAMESON..first off, the girl JENNA so proudly sucker punched has hired an attorney! Secondly my friend talked to a friend of hers at wicked and she says JENNA is and has been BROKE for a long time (everything is credit cards).the person at wicked says JENNA is not worth the headaches anymore!the wicked gal also said JENNA is starting to age...i have friends at vivid and wIcked and they all think this is JENNAS karma coming back to haunt her..."

Jenna Jameson replies: "Thanks for forwarding that. Someone is a little angry maybe... I don't think we need to post that one :) I think the story is dead. Oh, and yes, I am broke...can I have a loan? Oh and the only credit card I have is an Amex."

Diablo writes: " Luke, I have a problem. Brandy Alexandre is in love with me, and won't let me be. I tried telling her I don't feel the same way, yet she is a complete psycho. I think she has too much time on her hands for being out of work. That would explain her sticking her nose in everyone's business on your site. please do us all a favor and stop posting this troll's rants. Let her continue to fade away. But if you talk to her, please tell her that I don't love her. She's not my type at all. She's a little old and fat for me. Thanks a lot Luke. By the way Jenna, don't waste your time with Brandy. She's a cyber stalker who has too much time on her hands because she can't hold down a job. While you are put making money she's in line for government cheese and food stamps. Wonder if welfare pays for her online access. Hell, she has to suck a mechanics dick to get her car worked on, so who knows what she does for internet access. But I digress. She will just become obsessed with you like she is Bianca Trump, torris, Nena Cherry, myself, and anyone else who shows her for the racist troll she is, and start inventing fans and followers. Fact is there are no Brandy Alexandre fans. No one remembers her, or at least cares to. Hopefully her welfare will run out soon and she will disappear."

XXX writes Brandy: Is it safe to email Luke F-rd? I want to write and tell him that I think you're brilliant, insightful and very well spoken but I know he gives out email addresses a lot and I can't have that happen. It looks like a small band of people are offended by your intelligence and I want to speak up in your defense it's just that that same small band of people seem to wreck havoc on anyone that doesn't kowtow to their party line. Let me know how I can get word to him.

Brandy: I'm forwarding your note to Luke, and as you can see, I've disguised your email address and am emailing you as a bcc. I've done this for a couple of other people. He can usually be trusted not to give out a name or address if you ask, but sometimes I have my doubts, too. ;) Thanks for your kind comments. You realize you'll just be written of as an SFB (slavering fan boy)... ;) The only honest and true opinions of me are bad ones, don't ya know.

Mona Lisa writes Bianca Trump: Brandy A is like Julie the cruise director meets Adolph Hitler. Not only does she want to have a say in controlling what goes on in the business, but she also seems to want it run in some kwazi gestapo concentration camp fashion. If she would focus on being the "great" secretary she claims to be and not worry about what you are doing, I am sure her life would be more pleasant. Like Chris always says, it is hard to talk with a good stiff dick in your mouth. I think that is a great idea where she is concerned. It sucks that all she can do with her time is dish a load of trash on people like you. How nice for you that she keeps your name circulating out there! She is drumming up PR for you with out you having to do it! Too bad she is such a twat. I am glad to hear you are feeling better! And glad to see that you are coming out here! Good luck with the contract negotiations! You deserve to have one!!!!! Gotta go be the mommy for a while,

Lynne L-patin writes: Brandy Alexandre has a legitimate claim to having been around long enough, and in enough different capacities to be a commentator on the circus that is porn. She (and all other women who speak up for themselves) has been treated very badly by the industry, but that doesn't invalidate her knowledge and position.

On the other hand, who is "Mad Jack" and how does he justify his claim to porn "insiderness?" One more loud mouth ragging on Brandy just to prove he can do it is very boring. Pick some unassailable target and do the same and at least it will sound new and original, but it doesn't take a lot of talent (or balls) to insult someone known for being a target who won't fight back.

If M.J.'s rant against Ms. Alexandre is indicative of his feelings toward women, I do not look forward to watching his videos.

By the way, I asked my brother, another Harley/black leather/tattooed type who did federal time and wants to be in porno (don't we all?) about our current crop of "motorcycle gangster" porn wannabes. Seems that if there were any real bikers who had anything to do with porn, he wouldn't be asking me about it.

Secondly, anyone who is really "connected," be it to the Mafia or the Hell's Angels or the LAPD Vice Squad, doesn't brag about it to porno bimbos if they wish to keep their positions and their tongues.

Your reader, ANON, did a beautiful job of articulating his questions on anal sex. From a personal perspective, out of the hundreds of sex partners my husband and I had over the course of our lives, we each could only identify one who wanted anal sex as part of the usual act. His ex-wife used it rather than birth control.

I had a one night stand who incorporated it into a sadistic ritual which consisted of a relaxing, cleansing bubble bath and a sixty second f--- followed by verbal humiliation. Not a guy I asked back for seconds.

As an independent producer, when I tell my female performers that no anal sex is required (nor will I pay extra for it) unless they want it, their usual reaction is, "You're kidding!?! I love you!" I have never had a woman go, "Oh, shucks, I really want to be f---ed in the ass."

As a performer, I had anal sex if only to learn more about it, and here is what I learned: The way it's usually done for the videos, especially the extremely low-budget productions, has as little to do with normal sex as the rest of the acts portrayed. Jumping aboard with no foreplay whether the woman is excited or not isn't sex, it's acting. That's why we get paid.

I did one scene with a performer who made me really hot in my personal life. The vaginal sex in the scene was so fake that, after 45 minutes of changing positions, shallow penetrations and pretend thrusting, I had not even come close to an orgasm. When it came time for the anal, the director wanted deep penetration. After all that teasing, I really wanted this man inside of me. They let him thrust just a few times and I had an anal orgasm absolutely out of the blue, no direct clit stimulation needed. The camera was focused on my asshole, and the director yelled "Cut" as I was cumming, which his assistant pointed out to him. "We don't need that," the director said. "We just need his pop shot."

As a distributor of print and video material, I clearly recall that anal sex was not a major theme in commercial pornography for many years. It was treated as a fetish. European films and magazines always included some anal photos along with the usual vaginal and oral pictures. Domestically, some hardcore magazines specifically excluded anal shots, because some jurisdictions allowed hardcore but not anal insertion.

American anal specialty hardcore magazines appeared in the mid- to late 1980's. The very successful "Caught From Behind" series was the only domestic anal specialty series I remember as available for general distribution up until Buttman in the early 90's, followed by the "Rosebud" releases. Then the s--- hit the fan, literally. Adult Video News started reviewing tapes based on how much anal sex they contained, even tapes which had nothing to do with the fetish. I remember watching tapes in fast forward so I could count the number of anal penetrations for the box copy: "Three blistering anal scenes." "All hot, all anal." Nothing else mattered. The girls could be really cute and the sex really hot, but was there anal sex?

There are countries where virginity is prized. Women regularly engage in anal sex so as to protect their marriageability because of the conditions imposed by the patriarchy on sexually active women, like stoning, beheading, etc. In other countries women's vaginal passages are so damaged by ritual female circumcisions that intercourse is bloody and painful and anal sex becomes a less traumatic alternative. Some of these countries also have outrageously high heterosexual HIV infection rates. Any connection?

When Brandy Alexandre, the attractive, intelligent and sexually aware ex-girlfriend of "The Buttman" himself, says SHE does not enjoy anal sex, it sounds to me like the John Stagliano decided to forego women for anuses a long time ago, with the cheerleader squad at AVN behind him all the way. Anal sex -- just a curiosity whose time has passed, or does anal sex sell? Or have we simply been hoodwinked by Adult Video News into thinking it does? Why have the editors at AVN been so fascinated by anal sex over the years?

[Brandy replies: John never really asked me about anal sex, and the original Buttman movies were not about anal sex. Buttman was about the worship of butts and John's obsession them WITHOUT anything obstructing the view in any orifice. ;) I think the degeneration to anal sex is just a matter of following the leader (whoever that is). All the companies went that way. John's interest in anuses was only with his own, don't ya know. ;)]

Lynne: As pornographers, has our focus on anal sex cut into our potential market by pandering to those few customers who crave this odd fetish as we alienate the far bigger potential market of those mainstream heterosexual consumers who have always preferred to watch beautiful women enjoying orgasmic vaginal sex?

Donedone@aol.com writes: So Luke.... Tons of serious stuff on the site these days. Its too bad that Bruce Seven died, and Tex died, and that Nikki Lae has HIV. Lets hope she gets better.

Questions For Brandy Alexandre

Anon writes: I personally believe that women, including porn actresses, really DON'T FEEL ANYTHING EROTIC anally or rectally during anal sex. Would you please help dispel the myth of female anal eroticism (or my ignorance) by telling us what exactly women DO feel specifically inside their anuses and rectums during anal sex. NOTHING MUCH, I suspect? Am I correct? (Since women lack prostate glands I believe that cannot feel anything pleasurable in their anuses.) That's why women masturbate themselves clitorally in anal sex scenes, because otherwise they feel nothing erotic, correct? However, THE INDUSTRY REALLY PORTRAYS ANAL SEX AS NOT ONLY EROTIC BUT ORGASMIC in an attempt to play to the fantasies of the primarily male audience. But no one believes in anal sex is orgasmic except the sex industry.

Part 2: What do your fellow actresses tell you in the dressing room, or socially about anal sex or anal sex scenes? Please share some of the girl talk you hear regarding how they REALLY TRULY feel about anal sex. I suspect that in fact ANAL SEX IS DREADED AND UNWANTED BY THE WOMEN. True?

Part 3: Do you, or other girls you know ever INITIATE or REQUEST anal sex from your lovers, or in reality, is ANAL SEX ALWAYS INITIATED BY THE MAN, since he's the one who gets the orgasm from it, not the woman? I suspect MOST WOMEN FINALLY GIVE IN TO REPEATED PRESSURES FROM THEIR MALE LOVERS FOR ANAL SEX, and that it is a purely male fantasy. Am I right?

Part 4: Is anal sex performed in private sex between the lesbians and the bi-sexual women you know, either personally or in the industry, or is it UNIVERSALLY VIEWED AS NON-EROTIC BY WOMEN and therefore never engaged in except in heterosexual intercourse?

Anal sex is one of the big themes of the sex industry. It is of perpetual interest to porn consumers. The sex industry plays on this curiosity, and even creates it in the first place. It is a vicious circle that will never end as long as there is a sex industry. So I think it's important to debunk the ANAL SEX MYTH, that anal sex is erotic and even orgasmic for women. The reality is that it is unwanted sex as far as women are concerned. Orgasms during anal sex are as phony as any orgasms on screen. Anal sex is also the primary way to spread AIDS, and this includes heterosexual transmission, since anal tearing is unavoidable. However, when was the last time (or first time) that any HETEROSEXUAL person admitted to having contracted AIDS because they had hetero anal sex? Never! For the obvious reason that anal sex is simply considered deviant by society at large. Hence, my questions to Brandy, who seems to be willing to discuss anal sex honestly.

Brandy Alexandre writes: It's different for everyone, but I have to tell you that for me, you are correct. I do not feel anything EROTIC about anal sex. That should not be mistaken for a lack of sensation. For the majority, I would guess, anal sex is painful. For some reason, guys think if you can cram a hard dick in one hole you should be able to cram it in the other. The truth is, the anus on woman is just as prepared (or in this case not) to have something going IN as it is on a guy. Any guy who thinks a woman should be willing to let him f--- her up the ass should be willing to accept anal penetration as well. If his reaction is that the thought is repellent he should keep in mind that it's probably the same for the girl he's asking. Women simply have a tendency to give in. It's in our genes. Whatever we have to do to keep the male in the cave. He's better at hunting. If the guy IS willing to take it up the ass, he should still keep in mind that it is more likely more pleasurable for the guy than for a woman.

The closest I can come to saying I liked it would be only to the extent that it didn't hurt. Given enough time, patience, lube, and a guy with a clue, anal sex can be done with minimal discomfort. I think clit play in movies is to demonstrate through their performance that it's a turn-on--but there still needs to be friction in the right places for orgasm. Or they play with their clits to distract themselves for the anal. One sensation to overpower another.

I appreciate that Mr. Anon here at least has a brain and knows the difference between fantasy and reality. There are too many consumers who think what they see in a movie is what every girl will do--except for theirs. Worse yet, porn doesn't should the buildup to anal sex--they jump straight to the penetration, so the viewer thinks that's how you do it! It all builds resentment and dissatisfaction in the relationship. Maybe these questions were asked with the hoped that MAYBE the girls really get off on it, but reason still prevails that he knows ALL porn is fantasy--even orgasmic anal sex.

I've only initiated anal sex when I really wanted to please or surprise a lover, and felt I was relaxed enough to deal with it. I think it's a male fantasy in the sense of doing something you're not supposed to do, or because it's "dirty" sex. I generally don't believe the desire has anything to do with true romantic or erotic sexual emotions. It's a "deviation" or a "degradation" to a body. Otherwise guy wouldn't feel that anal play in the reverse was repulsive and "gay." I think the industry has started to cater more to the freakshow interests of consumers than the erotic ones.

I also feel that there is such a thing as too much of a good thing in that the makers of the movies have become jaded by too much free sex so they need more and more, and harder and harder, and freakier and freakier to get off and the consumer is stuck with the result, having to find some way to enjoy it. On the consumer's end, after being spoonfed such empty sex they feel unfulfilled and mistake the empty feeling for the sex not being hard enough, when I truly believe it's the lack of eroticism, chemistry, and honest interaction between the players. Why do you think so many people and looking for "oldies?" It's not for the stories, it's for the real sex. Anything I didn't answer is because I don't know.

Vivid girl Lori Michaels writes: My personal view and experiences on anal sex. A woman can not climax from anal sex alone. I do like it when a man is in me and just stays deep inside me while he stimulates me with his fingers. I have a much harder climax than normal. But it is very uncomfortable when the man starts doing it too fast just to satisfy himself. When we were filming "The Shooter," I did a boy girl scene with this girl who was from Europe. We were sitting on the couch and she proceeded to tell me horror stories about how rough and uncaring the male actors and directors are from Europe. She said that one day they kept doing her in her butt until she was cying and bleeding. I guess I can put it this way. Anal sex is something that can be stimulating when done carefully by someone who is considerate and passionate. I have seen very little of that in the adult movies.

Chaim Amalek, who loves receiving anal sex, writes: Luke, first a disclaimer. I do not give a s--- about what the answers to the following questions actually are; I merely present them to you to work over to increase the amount of controversy on your web site and thus attract more eyeballs.

1. Which porners (prostitutes and pimps of Onan) have bodyguards?

2. Which of porners (as above) are armed?

3. Who among those not listed in (1) and (2) above should have bodyguards and/or weapons?

4. LA not being all that far from the Mojave desert, does the latter have any holes in which have been burried any of the industry's more intractable problems?

5. Cable or DSL - which is best?

"Chaim Amalek"

Boy, really great questions, Chaim. I am glad you asked them.

Chaim Amalek writes: EEEEUUUUWWWW! Seriously, my take on back door shenanigans is this. The difference between vaginal sex and anal sex is that whereas the former is the portal through which emerges all human life, the latter is the sewer through which passes all s---. And, as the anti-homosexual bible of my ancestors urges (sort of), given the choice between life and s---, I choose life. PS Since most people are genuinely repelled by the sight, smell, appearance, and thought of s---, and since the locus of homosexual sex is the portal through which s--- passes, homosexuality will never be as accepted by most people as heterosexuality (I am, like the bible, ignoring all you dykes in this). And no amount of gay propaganda to the contrary will ever change this.

Frank writes: On Sunday the dancer staying at my house arranged a gathering of people, mostly dancers to discuss the Minneapolis Porn industry to me. It was mostly "I've heard" but I sensed that they were some what talking for "the "powers that be" in the local porn industry. My first concern was the "nobody will recognise you" thing. The "costodian of records" (or what ever it is called) part of the release is increasingly computorized and thus database searchable. This could bite back in a lot of ways, an example you run for office, file a job discrimination suite or a civil suite this tidbit may emerge. Finding this info gets easier with time. I suggested a video explaining the future consiquence potential that would be mandatory viewing. This also makes a good legal "cover your ass". As for HIV the nature of the shoots here presents less of a problem and the Twin Cities has probably the lowest urban middle-class hetrosexual HIV rate in the country. Besides it's mostly still shots for the internet here. You have a lot of solo, porn lex and blowjob photos but not a lot of penetration. A lot of time when the girl is sucking 10" she is then having the tool buried in her is her boyfirend is going in 2" not 6".

There is an informal HIV testing system for monotoring the few Twin Cities "studs". I was told that there is an informal system for this here and that the last thing the local industry needed was an HIV scandal so they do cover this. I was told that local producers are not shy about getting "in your face" about HIV testing, especially with the few male "studs". The "food chain" is toatlly different with internet porn production, you don't want to infect the goose laying golden eggs. Also here the porn industry is fully "wired" so I suggested a variaton of online e-mail for HIV test verification. Details are a bit fuzzy but there are extensive fax directories of medical providers so a person could fax a clinic a signed picture of them them go in for an HIV test. The clinic would also have picture ID's etc. A porn "performer" could send this info in advance and if the producer had doubts they could e-mail the clinic and also send faxes using the official directory fax #, If someone questioned the HIV paperwork. This would be an easy verification tool if, for example, someone got suspicious of Mark Wallicce's HIV negatve report of him being a "fourty something female") Oh yes. Clean sheets on ever shoot.

Ogdog writes: hi luke. i have never written you before, but this really blows my mind, so i wanted to throw a few things at you ( no need to duck ):

1. max hardcore. lol. i've never even heard of this guy until i started reading your website but if he thinks he's some sort of pornographic mafioso capo, then what's the point of having this jackoff around at all? i have no sort of "pull" in this industry - well, maybe one but i basically keep that private, usually - but i do purchase and view pornography whether in the company of others or not, and i can assure you, mr. little or whatever, that yours will not be among those purchased OR viewed. period. max hardcore. what a f---ing joke.

2. yes, anon, women do initiate anal sex. i have no idea if they feel much of anything besides a litle obviously painful erotic stretching, but they do indeed very much initiate it and it is my understanding that they enjoy it. in fact, having dated several women, i have only known one - 1 single girl - that did NOT like anal sex. and she was an idiot, anyway. i think that the main ( possible ) reasoning behind it is the feeling of female submission during sex, because i agree that without prostate glands it doesn't seem logical that there would be too much pleasurable stimulation, but i have no idea and it's just a thought offered for debate. luke, you are single-handedly making this facet of americana semi-legitimate. i don't think it matters if you become something of an "insider", but don't forget what made you who you are today: your abilities and no-bulls--- attitude. for those of us who are outside of this industry, the idea that someone is reporting and commenting on it from a relatable point-of-view is refreshing and fun to watch and read. on a related note, i wouldn't start banging any of these broads you talk to LOL.... personal reasons/opinions aside, i just don't think that Luke F-rd needs to be involved in that sort of s---.... i have a feeling ( and it is just a feeling because i only know of you via this site ) that you would succumb to the drama you are now just reporting and that would suck for all of us.

Rick Muenyong, founder of YNOTnetwork.com, wrote on YNOT Monday: The start of a new era! This is my first post since the aquisition of my biggest life accomplishment to date, YNOT Network. A lot of people have hit me up with some questions, and thought it would be cool to post em straight to the board for everyone:

1. How long has this merger been in progress?

A. Talks began in December and it didn't take very long to realize that this would be the opportunity of a lifetime. I had never seeked a buyer, and had thoughts to do so later this year. When Andy Edmond came to me with a vision and future plan for YNOT, I saw something that would benefit everyone. The fact that everything opened and closed smoothly in just weeks, is mind boggling to me.

2. What were my future plans for YNOT?

A. My career focus had shifted significantly this last year when opportunity in the mainstream internet market was knocking. With the progress of two mainstream web sites "official.com" and "ranks.com" moving foward, I could not and would probably never be able to put 100% of my time and effort back into YNOT. I knew someday that I would have to pass the torch as CEO/President, whether it was stepping down, merging, or sell off the assetts. With sextracker stepping in, and knowing their background/future intentions, I know that they'll do everything I wanted and a lot more.

3. Are you going to retire from the business?

A. When the dust settles, and sextracker (flying croc) no longer needs my help to run YNOT.. my appearances in the adult internet business will be very limited. Besides keeping up with industry trends and innovation, my main focus will be with non-adult related projects. I do have a "lot" more to accomplish in my career, and may never retire regardless of the money packed away. YNOT was the beginning and closing of the most educational and profitable chapter in my life. Regardless of where my career goes from here, I'll always owe most or all of any success to this industry. I would probably be a poor college graduate otherwise.

4. How did YNOT get started? (birth of YNOT)

A. Most people either weren't around for the birth of YNOT, or don't know the true history. The YNOT Network was built to organize webmasters of industry-leading adult sites for a common good. The YNOT Network membership drove YNOT to it's success, and kept the torch alive from day one. Although the membership organization ran it's course, I must give major credit to the YNOT members of the past.. especially the original YNOT Members (Persian Kitty, Janey.com, Cliffie, & More). They really did get this business off the ground, and I won't ever forget their contribution to this monster. YNOT then launched possibly the first community of webmasters, with the introduction of webmaster chat boards & top 50 lists. As the need for resources rose, more and more services were added over time for the purpose of aggregrating information for adult webmasters in one place. Over time, YNOT grew to the massive community/portal you use and hopefully enjoy today. With the continued intent to promote quality and preserve loyalty, it's great to know that YNOT made a positive mark in this industry.

5. Who will continue to hold YNOT together and make it stronger?

A. First, it's great to know that the most important assett to this project "Khan" will continue to provide his 100% support/effort for the good of YNOT. He has and will continue to be the backbone of all online operations that would most likely fall to the ground without him. As for operations in house, I have high hopes for the existing crew of the new corporation to build an even stronger team to take YNOT to the next level. I will help as a consultant, and give my input as "senior advisor" on the board of directors.

Final Thoughts: A lot of my personality and business sense was developed by the experience and opportunity this industry has given to me. Inolving myself in the internet during it's infancy and making a move toward to adult industry was definately a smart, but risky, move that I'll never regret! I was lucky from day one, and I'll never deny that timing was a reflection of YNOT's success. Putting that aside, I would have never experienced this road without the support of such great individuals. People who I wouldn't have met otherwise, took a chance on a kid. Some even devoted their careers to the future of YNOT.. it boggled me sometimes, but hopefully I met their expectations. I know I did a lot of things poorly and did some good things too. I had nothing to prove to anyone, and therefore never feared opinions. There are probably 100's of individuals for whom I owe gratitude toward, and I may never have enough to show my appreciation the way I would want to. To those who supported YNOT directly and indirectly, conditionally or unconditionally, or simply believed in the original YNOT philosophies..

Voyager7 writes on RAME about Luke's CES pics: Anyway, these girls from what I have seen, need to attend Make-Up 101. I thought make-up was bad in videos, but let them work on themselves for public consumption and you'd think they were vying for a Ms. white trash whore title..... The person at CES,with the hookerish black eyelash concession.... musta made out big time....

Harry writes on RAME: I was going over Ford's photos with a lady I work with and by the time we were through both of us were tired from laughing :) There *are* actually some attractive women there but you'll never see them underneath all the whorepaint... (Cowboy hats must be stopped before they become the two inch transparent platforms of the season. Invest that money in a haircut instead.) And the industrial strenght blondsilverblue mascara may look good in a studio enviroment with appropiate production design under blazing spotlights and a heavy filtration in front of the lens, but does not necessarily work with overapplied lipstick out in the much more monochromatic real world. Just a hint for the wannabe drag queens out there, wink wink Krusty.

Some of the higher-end contract girls looked decent but maybe their co.'s can afford to pay for a stylist to go along. Or maybe they just have taste, who knows? Too bad not much footwear made into the photos. Always gives away a lady. And I'm a guy fercryingoutloud, it's not like I'm overcritical about this stuff - however some women out there do need professional help. Maybe not a pro based in L.A., though.

Sedentary writes on RAME: Yes, Tara Patrick is a very attractive woman, and when all I want to see is such a woman having sex in full view of the world, so to speak, and "nice" sex at that, then I'll go with her. But when I want "nasty", I'll take Bridgette Kerkove over Tara Patrick, and on an equal level with Jade Marcella. I am one who as a rule is averse to making disparaging comments about the female talent (less strict when it comes to the males - sexism, perhaps), but so far Ms Patrick hasn't shown me any reason to be interested in her for anything other than beauty. Not that that's bad - I'll take it when I can get it. And who knows, even if she remains precisely as she is, she might, over time, begin to grow on me. Happened with Serenity - I couldn't see what anyone saw in her in the beginning, but now she's one of my tops. Same with (I know, horror of horrors to some of you) Jenna Jameson, Houston, Jasmine StClair. Another point - I'm not all that familiar with AVN's eligibility requirements, but I think I read that a person must be in the business for a certain period of time before they can be considered for the Best New Starlet award, to be sure it's not someone who appears in only a few videos, makes a great impression, and then exits the scene in very short order. Tara Patrick is still quite new, and may not have met those criteria. Bridgette Kerkove has been around much longer. Let's see what happens during the next round of nominations, assuming Tara continues to make videos.
