LP Duplication And Extreme Associates

XXX writes: LP Duplication is having serious problems, thanks largely to Extreme. Word is that LP can't buy any new tape stock because they are behind to their supplier, mainly because Rob Black owes over 60,000 dollars. LP has fallen way behind on delivery schedules as a result.

Luke: I did some digging and found out the opposite of the above report. From a source within LP Duplication, I hear that the company is doing fine. Extreme has met all scheduled payments. LP Duplication has many huge clients including Larry Flynt Publications which is selling over 5000 copies per release of its Barely Legal series.

Porner: "All of a sudden LP is delivering what I ordered over a month ago. I was told by a guy at LP that Extreme is way behind in payment. Honestly I am now thinking that they were blaming Extreme for the fact that they were behind. Perahps they were REALLY behind because they picked Up Hustler and Adam and Eve and maybe overloaded themselves. Your post got his ass on the ball. He was behind on many orders."

I hear that John Kenney from LGI is opening up an LA office right next to James DiGiorgio, five doors away. Kenney arrives in LA Tuesday.

Roger Pipe: I shot Regan Starr in a scene last night then interviewed her in the bathtub.

Anabolic Pulls Rough Sex

Roger Pipe writes on RAME: Anabolic has announced that as of February 11, 2000 both Rough Sex 1 and Rough Sex 2 will be pulled from the shelves. They will join Gang Bang Girl 20 and Butt Banged Cycle Sluts as collector's items. GBG 20 and BBCS were pulled after an agreement between Anabolic and Harley Davidson.

Slouch Potato writes on RAME: Two interviews with "Kahn Tusion" (Mark Hamill), the "director" of "Rough Sex 2," appear on Luke F-rd's site today (http://www.l-keford.com). In the first, with Ford, he says, "I've spoken to Chris (Alexander) at Anabolic and I'm going to, at best, put this on long hiatus and, at worst, I might do something else."

In the second, with the credulous Roger Pipe, he states, "At this time, I am not shooting any scenes for 'Rough Sex 3.' As a matter of fact, to call it back burned would probably be the most flattering assessment of it right now. There is a reason for that. Specifically, until we can sort out how we are going to be able to convey to all of those people that purchase our product, and those who don't purchase our product, that this is a legitimate enterprise, and hopefully this interview will help me do that, I am personally not interested in being flogged...So, consequently, right now I am not shooing Rough Sex scenes and frankly I don't know if that will ever happen."

There seems to be some serious backpedaling going at Anabolic. The real reason? Ford's interview includes this exchange: Luke: "I heard that GVA West won't handle it. How about other branches of GVA [porn's largest distributor]?"

Kahn: "There have been some companies that have refused to handle it..." There are a number of other references to criticism of and resistance to "Rough Sex 2."

Hamill's tape seems to have generated unprecedented hostility among others in the industry--an industry not well known for it's navel-gazing--and consumers. I'm skeptical, though. It's hard for me to believe that people like Alexander and Hamill can long resist the temptation to make some more money beating up women.

On a side note, here's something else Hamill said to Ford: "Patrick Collins [owner of Elegant Angel Video] believes that this is a horrible horrible thing and that we are terrible people over at Anabolic. This is the same gentleman who takes our titles and knocks them off practically verbatim. For instance, his Gang Bang Angels [taken from Anabolic's Gang Bang Girl line]."

So what does an original thinker like Hamill tell Pipe is his next project? "It's called 'Oral Consumption' and is an all oral line. It will compete...with the other blowjob tapes out there, Dr. Fellatio, Cocksmokers and the like." Just fancy that!

I drove to Woodland Hills Sunday evening, missing the second half of the Super Bowl, to do a cameo appearance in a new Axel Braun video.

I arrive at the location to find the door locked. I stand outside in the dark and drizzle until Chelsea Blue, Axel's girlfriend drives up. We go inside and find Axel and Tina Tyler waiting. Everyone but Luke lights up a cigarette. Tina and Chelsea inform me about mistakes in their picture IDs on my site.

An actor with incredible range, I play a submissive bottom who loves to be abused. In the scene, Tina Tyler whips me with a black leather whip.

Chelsea Blue, a dominatrix, and Carolyn Monroe, a submissive, work at the Eros Station dungeon on Oxnard and Sepulveda Blvds in the Valley. 818-994-6100.

Chelsea travels to Milan, Italy, in late February for the MISEX Show, a European version of CES. She'll strip.

Chelsea entered porn in 1996. She lasted a month, doing about five guys. Then she returned in 1999 and mainly does girl-girl, aside from the odd scene with Axel. They did anal yesterday for his movie, and Chelsea marveled at the voluminousness of his semen, which covered her face and body. His copious sperm is why she loves him so much.

Tina: "I haven't been working as much as I would've liked. I've stopped doing gonzo [scriptless porn] for everybody but myself. The work offers drastically decreased. I will shoot the next two installments of my own line in February. I've shot three so far, two blowjob shows and a lesbian one. It's distributed by Odyssey Group Video.

"It's been like pulling teeth trying to get them made because I've been paying for it myself. I can't really afford to put out one a month. I don't think I could possibly work that much.

"My next shows, one will be a BJ tape and one will be solo masturbation. Nina Hartley has agreed to appear. She's one of my best friends, she's a great performer with a large fan base, and yes, she is a legend. Casting is important. Yes, you want to get people with chemistry. I book all the girls first and ask who they'd like to work with... But it is also important to get a wide variation of women who have large fan bases. So the tapes will sell better. Angelica Sinn, just out of her contract with KBeech, will work for me.

"My tapes are selling for Odyssey. I'm still getting checks in the mail for the first two. That's a beautiful thing. Usually, after the first month, you're lucky to get reorders but last month the first one sold another 21 copies. And it's been over a year since that came out. And I've just signed a distribution deal for my foreign with Ona Zee Pictures. And she's already sold to Canada for me. So more money coming in on existing product, I like that a lot. And OGV is putting the line on DVD in the next few months, yet more money off existing product."

I see Patrick, a French photographer who's been shooting stills for Extreme the past week on a movie "Last Breath" directed by Jessica Darlin's husband Louis Cypher.

Pat has been working with director Lasse Braun on the coming website sexempire.org.

Axel asks me who are the three nicest guys in the biz aside from Rob Spallone and James DiGiorgio.

Luke: "David Sturman, Russ Hampshire, Paul Fishbein."

Tina Tyler: "Nina Hartley, Chloe, TJ Hart, her three best friends."

Axel: "Joey Silvera, Guy DeSilva, Jeff Coldwater."

Chelsea: "Taylor St. Claire, Carolyn Monroe, Jim Enright, Andrew Blake."

I meet Carolyn Monroe and her Italian husband. She's doing her general education requirements at a local college on the way to becoming a nurse. Carolyn entered porn in 1991, and moved to Italy in 1992 where she learned Italian. She returned to Los Angeles in early 1999. She rarely does porn movies anymore. Carolyn also does a few B movie projects, and fetish films like titty wrestling.

JCJoe writes: Luke: Have not visited your site in several months and was ELATED to find a number of pictures from your Luke whipping day of one of my all-time favorite ladies in porn (Tina Tyler aka Jane Smith) smoking. I requested candid pxs of porn ladies smoking MANY MOONS ago and when you did not deliver, I stopped visiting your site. As you may recall, I mentioned that such pictures are a real "turn on" for many of us in the "smokerhood" since they confirm that one of our vicarious dreams is a smoker in real life. I SURELY hope you continue to post more pictures of this nature?? At any rate, thanks for the recent effort. BTW, I do not know you, but I have RESPECT for you because you have proven to be a man who will openly and publicly (via your site) laugh at his own shortcomings and mistakes.

Goddess writes: Loved those pics of you getting your ass whipped, Luke. I told you a long time ago that's what you need. Next time take your undergutchies off:) Nothin'll put the fear of Jesus in you faster than to feel leather slapping against your balls.

JRob: When will you do the "Luke F-rd - 250 Girl Gang Whipping?" Of course, Gene Ross would have to follow with a 300 girl gang whipping, and so on.

Arch Stanton writes: "Luke, I am ashamed and appalled at the sight of you getting your ass whipped by Tina Tyler. Why? Certainly not the act itself. Being touched in any way by Tina Tyler is commendable. And enviable. But DURING THE SUPER BOWL? THE BEST ONE EVER? Cripes Luke I know you're originally Australian and for sport you dog kangaroos and wrestle with alligators down under. But this is America and in America on Super Bowl Sunday REAL MEN WATCH THE SUPERBOWL AND TELL THE WOMEN TO HIDE IN A CORNER OR SOMETHING UNTIL IT'S OVER. Oh the shame. Put on your yamulka and hang your head in shame."

EuroPorn shooter chrisenglish1@yahoo.com writes: I wonder what Emmett has got to say about your new found fetish. Namely you in your y fronts getting nine bails of hay knocked out of you. What's with the walkman??? I suppose there's nothing like a bit of Sergej Rachmaninov while enjoying a jolly good hiding. Haven't laughed so much since...

Sopornos Reviewed

Roger Pipe of www.rogreviews.com writes about James DiGiorgio's video "The Sopornos" distributed by VCA: "Most of the actual plot and dialog comes at the start of this movie. It's not nearly as well written as Shooting Sex, but the actual sex is better, so most of you are probably going to like this movie better. Not that this script isn't worth noticing. It's a far cry better than most of what you're going to see passed off as feature porn. Sexually, the movie is solid, unless the lack of facials really bothers you. (It does bug me a little, I'll admit.) Tabitha Stevens does a really good job in the lead, but finds herself upstaged by a trio of blonde side players. Laurel Canyon is just awesome in her scene with Julian, a half notch above the Johnni Black anal scene. Kendra Jade takes on two guys and steals some thunder as well. The Sopornos is a nicely crafted piece of porn here, with a good script and better than average feature sex."

Vivid Lies

JCJoe writes on RAME: The box cover for Vivid's Sex Lies shows Taylor Hays (one of Seymore Butt's former girls) in several sexy poses smoking a cigarette. You WILL NOT find the scene ANYWHERE in the actual video. There is an ever-growing market for smoking scenes in adult movies and companies often exploit this interest with enticing box covers showing one of the female stars smoking. This is much the way main-stream Hollywood has done for years with slick posters and film trailers. There is however one MAJOR exception-- main-stream directors and producers deliver what they advertise, and each new decade is filled with good-looking women in classic femme fatale roles IGNITING the silver screen. On the other hand, steam stream productions usually are filled with hot air and I do not mean the smoking kind. The Sin City (s---ty) company has practiced this deceptive "bait & switch" technique probably more than any group and It looks like Steve Hursh (sp?) and his henchmen at Vivid have learned to do the same. SHAME on any video company for practicing this deceitful type of advertising. I have been told by several ladies in porn who travel the country dancing in men's clubs, that MOST adult directors discourage smoking scenes because they either CAN NOT or do not want to handle the continuity problem when a cigarette burns down and dialogue in a scripted movie is botched. Too many ladies have told me this in too many ways so there MUST be something to it.

Sure, there are strict fire codes and no smoking policies all over CALINOFUNIA (which BTW have only added to the list of smoking fetishers) and blue screen directors will probably be breaking the law if they allow smoking on their sets. Let's face it, just by making a porn movie, they are taking a risk, so that argument can't hold water. I mention this because some of the ladies I visited with concerning my cigarette (NO cigars) smoking scene requests in porn indicated that was the reason they heard when they attempted to smoke on the set. Another BTW, I would say at LEAST 80% of the ladies I visited with on their dance tours were smokers and the OVERWHELMING brand of preference was Marlboro Light l00's. Perhaps, if some Marlboro executive follows RAME and reads this, he might envision the subliminal impact of sexy women smoking his company brand in a porn video. He could then approach these producers and purchase some "smoking time', which wold force the INEPT or unwilling directors to learn how to surmount the continuity obstacle. NOW wouldn't that be an interesting development, cigarette commercials-- banned from television for many years--finding a home in porn and supplementing the industry?????? Far Fetched? Maybe NOT.

Chat With Marilyn Chambers

NORCO, Calif.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2000--Wednesday, February 2 at 6:30 p.m. PST, Adult DVD Talk (http://www.adultdvdtalk.com) will be hosting a live chat with the most influential adult actress of all time, Marilyn Chambers.

This live chat is part of an Adult DVD Talk chat series aimed at establishing channels of communication between prominent members of the adult entertainment industry and the Internet public. Through effective communication, Adult DVD Talk seeks to dispel the stigma associated with pornography.

From country singing to Neil Simon Theater to modeling on an Ivory Soap Box, Marilyn has transcended the barriers between adult films and mainstream performance arenas. Last year, Mayor Willie Brown declared July 28 "Marilyn Chambers' Day" in San Francisco. Marilyn is undoubtedly the adult actress most known outside of the porn industry. After a 12-year absence, Marilyn has recently returned to adult films with her best selling video/DVD release, "Still Insatiable." Marilyn is currently shooting another movie with VCA Pictures.

Rodney Moore Demands An Apology From Gene Ross

Rodney Moore writes Luke: Gene Ross has taken a fairly lengthy commentary on the Rough Sex video that someone posted on RAME and attached my name to it, implying that the comments were made by me. This is absolutely untrue and misleading. I had emailed him a copy of the post and several followup posts becuase I thought they were interesting. I expressed no opinion either way, I just sent him the comments of others. None of these comments were made by me. Anyone who doubts this can go to the RAME newsgroup and they will find those comments and see that the author is clearly not me. As a result of Gene's error, I'm now reading that the producer of this video is on the defensive against me. I have waited over 24 hours for Gene Ross to make a correction and an apology on his website and so far he has not. I'll assume that he's not working this weekend, but since these comments are now being discussed in your column, I hope you will print this for those who read both of your columns.

Mr. Ross has made it appear that I have been publicly critical of another producers work when I have not. He has created friction between myself and another producer. Not only did he label comments about the movie as direct quotes from me, he even mislead people to thinking that derogatory comments about the President and Vice President and his wife that were in this RAME post came from me. I expect Mr. Ross to do the honorable thing and to print an apology and a complete retraction.

Roger Pipe Interviews Rough Sex Director

Roger Pipe (RP) of www.rogreviews.com: I'm are here at the Anabolic offices with director Kahn Tusion. We are going to start by discussing a new line that you have coming out.

Kahn Tusion (KT): This is a line that has been on the books for about two months. The release date on the first one is either February 7th or February 15th. It's call 'Oral Consumption' and is an all oral line. It will compete, and I hope that the word compete is not appropriate because compete means that there are actually equal competitors on the field, with the other blowjob tapes out there, Dr. Fellatio, Cocksmokers and the like. But, we have done something different. Chris has an enormous amount of vision and courage and has allowed me to pursue something that I think is missing in pornography and that is shooting real sex. I would say that ninety eight percent of things that you view are fine, but not real. The interviews are staged, the scenarios are staged and that doesn't appeal to me personally. I have directed a line that I believe will appeal to segment that is really interested in the heart and soul of the ladies that we are all jerking off to.

RP: Why did you decide to make your new line an oral line as opposed to a straight sex or gonzo line?

KT: First of all there is a lot of verbalization in the line and it takes place during the sex. Frankly, an oral line acclimates itself to that. I am holding the camera and I am literally face to face with the young ladies so I can ask her questions and make certain inquisitions. The questions aren't like 'what's your sign' or 'what's your favorite color.' Some of them are quite odd and at inappropriate moments. What they are there for is to elicit a real response so you can see a real person. I wasn't interested in doing that during a sex line because there is too much going on. In the oral line, whether the young lady is sucking cock, eating butthole or licking feet, I am right there in front of her and always able to communicate with her.

RP: Are we going to see you in this line, or are you staying strictly behind the camera?

KT: You will hear my voice, but you will not be able to see me. With this interview, you have the rare pleasure of seeing me in person. You can see that if I were to ever perform in front of the camera, it would probably diminish sales by eighty to ninety percent.

RP: I do keep waiting for the horns to pop out of your hat. (Kahn removes his baseball cap.) Contrary to popular belief, no horns. And no hair. I was going to make a joke about being late, that I was busy getting the horns filed down so as not to scare you off.

RP: Who are some of the stars in the first 'Oral Consumption?'

KT: I would love to shoot all fresh girls if I could, and did have the pleasure of shooting one young girl who has never done anything before. I shot some girls who you don't see very often. There are also a few well known names. Jewel Valmont, contrary to incredible rumor, is continuing to work with me. She might even say that she thinks I'm a bit of a cutie. You are going to see a nice mix. There are fourteen girls in every movie. Each scene will run between five and fifteen minutes each, but will average out at about ten minutes each. Most every scene will incorporate a multitude of popshots. There are a few singles, but a lot of doubles and triples. There are a few established stars, as I said. In the first one I would say Jewel Valmont is the most well known. There is a new girl named Kurious who is great in it. Kianna Bradley is another well known actress who is in it, as well as a slew of unknown talent.

RP: I hear a few names there of people who have worked for you before, so they are coming back for more?

KT: Yes, some of them are coming back. It's the battered wife syndrome, they want to get away, but they just can't.

RP: Do you have any plans for a third series, or do you have your plate full with the existing two?

KT: Well, I guess you wanted a scoop, so I'm going to give you one. At this time, I am not shooting any scenes for 'Rough Sex 3.' As a matter of fact, to call it back burned would probably be the most flattering assessment of it right now. There is a reason for that. Specifically, until we can sort out how we are going to be able to convey to all of those people that purchase our product and those who don't purchase our product, that this is a legitimate enterprise, and hopefully this interview will help me do that, I am personally not interested in being flogged. I'm more interested in flogging women. So, consequently, right now I am not shooing Rough Sex scenes and frankly I don't know if that will ever happen. The new line I have coming up is a sex line. We don't have a title for it yet. It incorporates that which I am good at, and that is shooting, and I don't want to sound like a terrible person, but shooting women as objects. I am trying to convey that it is a segment of the pornography world that not only exists, but is quite popular. There is nothing wrong with it if the person on the receiving end, whether it be degradation or whatever, receives gratification from it. It's something that they practice in their everyday lives. We are going to shoot sex scenes that incorporate that and hopefully it will have as much impact as 'Rough Sex' did.

RP: I don't that anything has had as much impact as 'Rough Sex' recently. Was 'Rough Sex' the first thing you ever directed?

KT: I have been an assistant director for Chris at Anabolic for six or seven years. I had and idea for the first line. Actually, before we get into that, I'd like to show you some of the stuff from 'Oral Consumption.'

(We settle in at the editing monitors to watch a few scenes.)

I want you to be candid with me. This isn't going to be something that appeals to everyone. It is important to me to be interesting. I am a porn consumer, I've been watching porn for twenty five years. Ninety percent of it is banal. That's all there is to it. Someone mentioned to me that you're a bit of a porn hisotorian and as such, this will have some impact on you. Twenty years ago, for us to see a DP was earth shattering. I'm being very candid with you, you couldn't keep the semen contained in your ballsack. This girl was such a whore, my God, look at what she's doing. Now that's so commonplace that it no longer holds any interest. I am going to tell you what I believe the secret to my pornography and pornography in general is. I believe that in order to be exhilaratingly erotic, the woman has to exhibit some shame. It's become a shameless business. I get these girls and I say we want thirty five guys to f--- you in the ass and she says fine and if you want to you can just back a truck up into my ass. There is no shame. I found a little shame and I believe that it's erotic.

(We sit down and watch the title sequence for 'Oral Copulation' which shows a mix of some of the verbal exchanges that will fill the movie, followed by a three guy scene with Kurious where she is probed at all the wrong times during her somewhat shameless display of dick, ass and toe sucking.)

KT: OK, what did you think?

RP: This is does not look like your average blowjob tape. It's very different.

KT: I appreciate you saying that.

RP: I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you were shooing for something different. Do you watch a lot of other blowjob tapes?

KT: Yes I do.

RP: Sum up what is missing from the others in one phrase.

KT: What we talked about earlier. Reality. Most of the blowjob tapes are products of expediency. They can shoot a girl blowing some guy right in the edit bay, shoot ten scenes and make a tape out of it. There is not thought in them. Why even have a girl? Why not have an anamatronic or a Pixar assimilated figure. These girls have no soul, but they do have soul if you pay attention to what you're doing. If you can draw that out, it becomes erotic. There are a few people who are actually good at it, but I don't want to mention their names because they have been bashing me so I don't want to compliment them.

(He then cues up a scene with a rather shy first timer.)

This is very interesting, the girl was there for the dough. She and her boyfriend figured as long as they are f---ing, they might as well do it for money. I'm shooting her and I ask her to masturbate. She said she can't do that in front of people. This is a girl who ate ass, for the first time in her life, took a money shot and I asked her if she would drink piss. She even agreed to do that for a couple hundred bucks. With all that, she won't masturbate in front of us. It was incredible and that is what pornography should be. The girl isn't that hot in the scene, but she was just incredible. It was wonderful. At least I think so. I'm my own biggest fan. I happen to think I'm a good f---ing pornographer. Now we can go to Bunny Luv. She is fabulous, completely unaffected until you work something out of her.

(We watch a popshot with Bunny which somehow manages to, in fact, effect her.)

OK Rog, now you've had a taste, fire away.

RP: It's certainly unlike anything on the market.

KT: Good, that's what I want to do.

RP: There is a lot of dialog in this, like in your other work. You seem to be trying to open the girls up a bit.

KT: Exactly.

RP: Why do you think that's important?

KT: It's important to me personally because of what I've viewed in pornography over the last twenty five years. One of the things that has been missing for me in my personal jerk off experiences has been the identity and soul of the young ladies doing pornography. Let's be candid with each other, this is a shameful profession and that's what makes it erotic and unique. A lot of the porn that I see has lost sight of it. That's why I try to talk to them and draw them out. I let lots of things go and will ask a small and poinent question at an awkward time so that they are defenseless and you get an honest response. The reason I do it is because it gives me a hard on and hopefully it gives someone else a hard on as well.

RP: When will this tape be out?

KT: Early February.

RP: All right, we have to talk about 'Rough Sex' because everyone is. From the internet, to Geneross.com to Al Goldstein at the AVN Awards, you are the topic on everyone's tongue. Just so we start out with all our cards on the table, I have seen both 'Rough Sex' movies and reviewed number two this week. They are not my cup of tea at all, not even remotely close. I can appreciate that. In the review however, I did point out that your movies are well lit, well shot, with good looking performers and from what I have seen, they are better technically than anything of it's kind. So, while I certainly don't like the tapes, I give them credit for what they are. That's all I can ask for. The first person within the industry I heard take shots at you was Goldstein at the AVN Awards. Were you there or did you hear what he said?

KT: I am quite familiar with what he said.

RP: What are your thoughts?

KT: My honest appraisal is this. For some reason, 'Rough Sex' has garnered an unwarranted amount of attention and criticism. There are between three and eight thousand movies released each year and I'm pretty proud of my work, but it ain't that good. It's not the kind of movie that is just so exceptional or pathetically gross that it should warrant that sort of attention. I think two things have contributed to this attention. The first is that 'Rough Sex' was released by Anabolic, and there is an enormous amount of economic jealousy in the porno world. I think that Anabolic falls victim to most of it and there is a reason for that. The president and founder of Anabolic, Chris Alexander has two qualities that do not endear him to anyone in the porn business. He is brutally honest to a fault and will always tell the truth. Number two, he doesn't kiss anyone's ass. I have told him on numerous occasions that he needs to lie and kiss ass more and we won't have any problems. That's not his nature. That those are amazing attributes. I wish I had them, but I don't. I have been in a lot of different worlds in my life and have yet to find anyone with his level of morality. As odd as that might sound it happens to be the case. So, 'Rough Sex' has garnered this unwarranted attention because it was released by Anabolic and that's unfair for this simple reason. The number one criticism of this movie is that it is going to bring down a curse on the house of porno. That 'Rough Sex' will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, that 'Rough Sex' as a singular piece of work at a moment in time is the piece that galvanized all the anti-porn forces across the country and will destroy pornography as we know it is a pathetic assumption and evaluation of the reality. Will the house of porn come down? Maybe. Why would that be? Perhaps we'll have a new administration. Perhaps there will be a new Justice Department and perhaps that Justice Department is going to go after pornography. If it does, I can assure everyone that it's not because of 'Rough Sex'. Of the eight thousand tapes that are put out, I would say that ninety percent of the people in the United States of America would find those as abhorrent and objectionable. Of the ten percent that are jerk offs like myself, I would say that ninety percent of them would never admit it. There is not going to be any groundswell of support for pornography when someone comes after us. When they come after us, it's not going to be because of me, it's going to be because all of us. I don't want to talk about anyone specifically, but I'll mention one scenario. I have had some criticisms from another pornographer, someone that I happen to admire and his hook is for young girls to walk around on public streets, with their faces covered in semen. I happen to think that's terrific, but I can assure that those people who find 'Rough Sex' objectionable are certain to find that objectionable as well. It's just not fair.

RP: The same people who are criticizing you, are letting plenty of other potential lighting rods slip by. This year, we had performers stating that they are twelve years old in scenes. There were women with their heads shoved into ovens, Christ figures sodomized by priests, yet the critics let them slide. I may not understand B & D or find it sexually appealing, but it is a legitimate sexual lifestyle, but personally, I can't see how your movie can be so vile and appealing to pedophiles is all right. Does their hypocrisy make sense to you?

KT: It makes no sense for a number of reasons. The first reason is that what I am portraying in my movies is an absolutely legitimate lifestyle enjoyed in every corner of this country. I happen to know that because I have been living it for twenty five years. The critical issue here that people are missing is that I am not shooting in people who are just in it for the money. I want to shoot people who derive pleasure from it. Once in a while, I get fooled. You may have read my response on RAME, and I stand behind that. I have been fooled, but then I stop. I am not interested in hurting someone who doesn't derive pleasure from it or doesn't want it. I am not interested in degrading anyone who doesn't derive pleasure from it or doesn't want it. I have had a number of relationships in my life. Some of them have been S & M relationships and some of them have been intimate, fulfilling relationships that had no degradation, bondage or spanking at all because my partner wasn't into it. By me simply uttering this, it diminishes what I am and I hate to say it, but it's not as though we are monsters, we're just people. Those same people who are attacking me, to be candid with you, I don't think they go for gay porn either. How do they feel about guys getting bent over and plowed in some jail cell by thirteen other guys? It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, but should I attack it? The answer is absolutely not because that's a lifestyle that these people have chosen. For people to throw stones around in this glass house borders on lunacy.

RP: Even with all the criticism, AVN did award 'Rough Sex 1' with a Best Specialty tape. Was that surprising to you?

KT: Shocking to me and very gratifying. It was shocking because I believe there exists a legitimate dispute of some kind between Anabolic and AVN. Anabolic has not won an award in a number of years. I don't care who you talk to, Anabolic produces, across the board, some of the highest quality pornography ever produced in the history of porno. Day in and day out, there tapes are superb. I'm not saying their tapes are always the best, though I happen to think so, but certainly in a span of five yeas, they have produced wonderful pieces of pornography that have not been acknowledged at the awards. So when I was nominated, I was thrilled because it allowed me to needle Vince Vouyer, but I didn't expect to win. When I did win, I was gratified. I think that the reason it happened was they found something that they couldn't ignore. It fit a host of criteria that they couldn't ignore. One, as you mentioned, and I appreciate that, it was high quality pornography. That is due to the Anabolic family. If I had to shoot this, it would be terrible. It's Chris and Mike John who light it and take care of the technical end. They are wonderful. Technically it was well done and it was different and on the edge. I think they just made the determination that they couldn't ignore it. I appreciate that and it's very gratifying.

RP: There are a number of people who say that 'Rough Sex' should start a wave of self censorship in the industry. You already told me you disagree with that, but is there anything that would make you say we shouldn't be doing this?

KT: Let me retract what I said a bit. I believe that both sides on this issue have made excellent cases. The First Amendment people are right when they say that censorship is a slippery slope. Those who believe in self policing are reminiscent of the gambler who wants to take his meager winnings off the table and go home, just to make sure he goes home a winner. Both arguments hold water. So, my response to you is yes, I believe that self censorship is a very effective method for holding off certain agencies who would seek to harm us. I will say this, if they are going to engage in self censorship, is 'Rough Sex' over the line. Yes. Is there anything else over the line? About four thousand videos a year. There are things going on right now that are way over the line. Certainly my competitors, Max Hardcore, Rob Black and some others are going down to, so here we are.

RP: Has anyone in the industry stood up for you and fought this backlash?

KT: Yeah, Chris at Anabolic and Jamie Gillis. (Chris Alexander has entered the room and has been listening quietly.)

CHRIS- And all the girls you've worked with.

KT: The girls certainly, with one exception. Interestingly enough, after 'Rough Sex 1' we stepped things up a notch for 'Rough Sex 2' and I had expressed some personal trepidation. The intensity was stepped up a notch and it made me nervous. Chris told me that Anabolic is what it is because we have always provided high quality and have always been bold. Anyone can sit on yesterday's news, but we need to continue to provide product that marketplace is going to accept because it is unique and on the edge.

CHRIS- I might add that the marketplace has not only accepted 'Rough Sex' but embraced it. As much as I want to resist complimenting Kahn too much for fear his head will get even bigger, he has done great things for us.

RP: There have been a few negative stories circling lately about the 'Rough Sex' movies. The first one involving Jewel Valmont and some lines that may or may not have been crossed. Any comment on that?

KT: Linda Thoren leveled am outrageous and irresponsible charge that has been refuted by Jewel herself. I could go on the net today and say that Roger Pipe couldn't keep it in his pants when he interviewed me. He was so attracted to me. Now you have to go onto the net and deny it, then call forth all of your witnesses. That's what's happening in the Jewel Valmont Case. Number one, we have the video tape, number two, she continues to work for me, number three, she's called Gene Ross to refute it all. It's pathetic. As I said in my response, I don't play the game of threatening lawsuits and demanding apologies. I like to continue to move forward, but speak categorically on a factual basis.

RP: So, the Jewel Valmont charge is pathetically absurd. What about Regan Starr?

KT: Regan Starr is a different issue. To use a famous quite, the three most horrible slanders there are lies, damn lies and statistics. The Regan Starr episode falls into the first two categories, Lies and Damn Lies. When you write this, try to get the emphasis in there. As I have said, I am not interested in shooting anyone here just for the money. I want to shoot women who derive pleasure. When Regan Starr was booked, I talked with her extensively on the phone. I took a verbal inventory with her, face spitting, face slapping, verbal degradation, spanking, choking, spanking to the point of bruising, and if there is, we would reward you accordingly. This said, the girls always control the scene and we can stop at any time. I asked her if that was acceptable to her. She assured me that she was. Something happened though. If there is going to be some culpability, I admit, and unfortunately I'm doing it on tape, if I am culpable of anything it is that I didn't believe my gut on this one. It's something I have always done and it's always served me well. Your first instinct is usually the right one. After this extensive interview with Regan, she convinced me she could do it. When she came to the set, I spoke with her for another fifteen minutes then went into Chris' office and told him I was going to call the scene. He asked me why. We had a lot of money tied up on the scene already. Don't get me wrong, I've blown a lot of money. When you look like me, you have to spend a lot of money to get laid. Now, I said I was going to call the scene. Chris and I went in with Regan. I told her that she couldn't do the scene. She sold me a bill of goods, assuring me that she could do it. I told her she was underestimating the emotional impact of the scene. The three people in that room left with the idea that we would attempt to get the scene shot.

CHRIS- At that time, he went ahead and agreed to a rate she would be paid if she couldn't finish the scene. She said "OK, but I'm going to do the scene."

KT: We shot the scene and it didn't last more than five minutes. She was spanked, degraded and went to pieces. We killed the scene, gave her three hundred. It cost us approximately two thousand dollars above that and I got nothing except for that little snippet I put in 'Rough Sex 2'. I only did that because I spend so much freaking money on it. There is some talk on the interent that she only received three hundred bucks. Well, she got three hundred bucks for being in front of the camera five minutes, being spanked approximately three times and having a thumb put in her mouth.

CHRIS- And having Mickey G deliver some lines that I don't even think were that harsh.

KT: Well, we didn't make her say f--- my teenie bald pussy which she does gladly, but it was part of the line and I don't apologize for what it is.

RP: All right, the decision to leave that snippet in the movie certainly rubs her face in it.

KT: Yes.

RP: It certainly comes off as mean spirited.

KT: Yes.

RP: Why do it?

KT: I left it in because I want to shoot reality. It was a piece of reality and is a piece of the S and M world that some people never see. Frankly, I find it fascinating. It's in there for that reason. I have been with people where that happens, we reach a point when they have had enough and they break down. At that point, we immediately stopped. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm actually a gentleman. That's why I left it in and frankly I'm proud of it.

CHRIS- I wouldn't agree that it's mean spirited though. I think it is reality and left in as such. I don't want to sound harsh and I hope this doesn't get printed as harsh. You might think it's mean spirited and other people might see it that way, but I don't care. That's not my intent. My intent is to show reality and if people interpret it as mean spirited, there is nothing I can do about it. I stand behind my decision to leave it in the tape and I am proud of it.

RP: You would agree though that it has opened you up for more criticism.

KT: I didn't recognize that that would happen.

RP: In retrospect?

KT: In retrospect I would have bought Qualcom stock a year ago and made movies just for myself.

RP: Some other charges that have been thrown at you, that you hate women for example. True or false?

KT: Probably true.

RP: Why?

KT: Rejection. I got roughed up emotionally. I was a recovering addict. I have been sober for twenty years. People become addicted to substances because there happens to be some defect in their life and I obviously have it.

RP: Do you consider the 'Rough Sex' line degrading to women?

KT: Yes, but not generally. The women in them are being degraded for sexual gratification, so the answer is yes. Are you asking me if I'm trying to degrade women across the board, of course not. I have relationships that would astound people in the porn world at other aspects of my life. I am not interested in being hurtful, however if someone derives pleasure out of that behavior, I am the first in line. Assuming there is a 'Rough Sex 3' down the line, do you want it to be harder, are there more boundaries you want to push? No. Even us misogynists slash human pieces of vomit have feelings too. I am actually a little tattered by what is going on and I don't care for it. I don't need it. It's not the end of the world.

RP: That's all I've got. Anything you want to say in closing to critics or supporters?

KT: Yes, I think that I am an excellent pornographer and my second line will display my varied ability. I can hit to the opposite field and I hope that my third line will also be some sort of home run.

RP: Thank you very much.

KT: Thank you.

Luke Interviews Rough Sex Director

Fresh from a whipping at the hands of Tina Tyler, I interviewed "Rough Sex" director "Kahn Tusion" Sunday night by phone. As his email to RAME showed last week, he's intelligent and well able to verbally defend himself.

Here is Kahn's post to RAME: Until Linda Thoren’s post, I had refrained from entering the debate concerning my video series, Rough Sex. However, after reading Thoren’s thinly veiled accusation of rape, I feel it is incumbent upon me to respond with the facts concerning Jewel Valmont and Rough Sex in general.

Please note, that both proponents and detractors of the line have generally been wise enough to understand that all the participants are consenting and engaging in consensual behavior. However, that is half the story. The other half is this: I will not shoot anyone that is merely consenting, they must demonstrate desire. That’s right, I could shoot dozens of ladies that would do this series for the money. That’s not good enough for me. They must want to engage in rough sex and I must be convinced they will derive extreme pleasure from doing so. On a rare occasion, I am fooled by a participant’s bonafides. When that happens, I (usually not the participant) immediately halt the scene, pay the appropriate kill fees and send everyone home. Under no circumstances am I interested in engaging in any coeriscon to illicit any type of behavior or sex act.

As far as the objectionable behavior in the Jewel Valmont scene (Rough Sex 1), these are the facts: Jewel did indeed request that we do not call her “s---hole”. She did agree to wear a “s---hole” collar and eat from a “s---hole” bowl, but did not want to hear those words uttered to her. Unfortunately, one of the performers felt that this was a barrier that Jewel wanted to overcome. He demanded that she refer to herself as a “s---hole” and she quickly responded. (After the scene, I profusely apologized to Jewel and I additionally rewarded her two fold; 1) for my indiscretion and 2) for an excellent scene. I continue to apologize to Jewel about this incident whenever I see her) As an interesting side note, following the “s---hole” incident, Jewel (by her own admission) then experienced between 5 and 10 orgasms. We tried to count, but it was difficult as they were coming (no pun intended) fast and furious. Let’s call it a baker’s dozen!

Now, for all you RAMER’s to think that these women are choiceless and engage in Rough Sex to support a drug habit, or additional dependents, let me tell you about Jewel Valmont. She is drug and alcohol free, does not support dependents, to my knowledge, and most importantly she is one the most beautiful and desirable woman I know. She lives in a neighborhood that would be recognized the world over as one of the best neighborhoods in Southern California. She has an active social life outside of the business, and as far as I am concerned, she could choose any number of rewarding professions. She has chosen this one! She did not have to do Rough Sex, she wanted to do it. She orgasmed over it, and has discussed it with me on numerous occasions since its shooting.

You need more? I am happy to say, because of the courage and vision of Anabolic’s founder and president, Chris Alexander, I am inaugurating a new line at Anabolic (release date, some time in February). Who was the first person that I wanted to shoot? Jewel Valmont. She gave me an excellent scene and, as always, was a great pleasure to work with. I look forward to Linda Thoren’s appraisal of this coming series.

So my point is this, I have read with great interest all the hoopla over Rough Sex, and I can recognize that both sides make meritorious arguments. But, please try and refrain from slander. After all, even us misogynist / human pieces of vomit have feelings too. Luckily, Linda Thoren’s irresponsible charge immediately showed up on Luke F-rd, thereby completely discounting it’s validity.

And lastly let me state, that unlike most people in this industry, I don’t use a variety of Internet outlets to level threats of lawsuits and demands of apologies. I just go on doing what I do. With that said, I don’t harbor any ill feelings toward Linda Thoren, as a matter of fact, I would love to shoot her in Rough Sex 3. To describe what occurred, as rape is an egregious misrepresentation of the facts. A more appropriate word that now applies might be “witch hunt.”

Luke: Tusion entered porn around 1992, and has worked principally in porn for Annabolic.

Kahn: "You know my disposition over what I am about to undertake."

Tusion, like many porners, was wary of talking to me. I'm usually nicest when talking to first timers, because I want to get our possible relationship off to a good start. Once you get to know someone, you learn how much you can stretch them.

This, however, is not the first time "Kahn Tusion" and I have crossed paths though I do not remember the first time. Suffice to say, Kahn is not favorably disposed towards me, and regards me as an "anti-porn activist."

Kahn: "Both our reputations precede us. I hope that I am able to surprise you positively and I hope also to be surprised. I don't know if that will happen, but if it does, it will restore an inkling of my faith."

Luke: "Cool. Has the furor over Rough Sex surprised you?"

Kahn: "Yes it has. And it is absolutely preposterous. The criticism from the RAMERs is not unexpected and I consider it valid. I think that many of the people are fearful that this might inhibit their ability to purchase or view pornography. And I can understand that fear. And the others are First Amendment honchos, and that is also a valid argument.

"The criticism from within the industry is absolutely shocking. It is so hypocritical that I am getting vertigo. It is pathetic."

Luke: "People in the industry are scared that you are the perfect fodder for anti-porn activists, therefore you endanger the way they make a living."

Kahn: "Are you an anti-porn activist?"

Luke: "No, but I am no booster of the porn industry."

Kahn: "I consider you an anti-porn activist. And I don't begrudge you one bit for it. As a matter of fact, I think it is a noble position to take. I really do. And for those people in the industry who feel that this specific movie is going to bring a pox on their house, it is ridiculous. If this movie did not exist, there are probably six to seven thousand of the eight thousand videos put out annually that are offensive and horrifying to 90% of people in America. The ten percent who do not believe they are horrifying, 90% of those people would never admit it. The reason that there is peace and tranquility in the production of pornography is that there has been a sleeping spell with the powers that eventually might attempt to eradicate it. For them to blame me is ridiculous.

"The criticisms from outside the industry are more meritorious. Because they're not manufacturing it. They're just viewing it and they're fearful for their viewing habits.

"In addition to the public criticisms that we've read on your site and on Gene Ross's site, there are some private criticisms that I've heard that I am certain are going to be made public soon. Let me give you an example. Patrick Collins [owner of Elegant Angel Video] believes that this is a horrible horrible thing and that we are terrible people over at Anabolic. This is the same gentleman who takes our titles and knocks them off practically verbatim. For instance, his Gang Bang Angels [taken from Anabolic's Gang Bang Girl line]. He believes that that is going to be acceptable to some type of municipality or state or federal government that doesn't care for pornography? He's dreaming. It's not going to happen. When the giant awakes, we're all going to be swatted. I might be swatted first, but we're all going."

Luke: "How much private reaction have you had?"

Kahn: "Horrible. Terrible. It's so hypocritical... People in the industry are extremely critical. And I believe that the basis of that criticism is two fold. One, it's based on economic jealousy. Anabolic is measurably more successful than the other companies. So consequently we make a fine target. For Rodney Moore to criticize us. He thinks this is degrading to women.

"And by the way, I do believe that this is terrible and degrading to women. I also believe that squirting half a quart of semen on to a girl's face and having her walk down Ventura Blvd has a degree of degradation. Degradation drives the business. And I think that you know that. That is why you are who you are. You understand that's what drives the business and so here we all are. In the degradation business unfortunately."

Luke: "What numbers are you selling of Rough Sex?"

Kahn: "They are astounding... There's not a porno company in the world that wouldn't flip over the numbers."

Luke: "I heard that GVA West won't handle it. How about other branches of GVA [porn's largest distributor]?"

Kahn: "There have been some companies that have refused to handle it. I don't begrudge them. It's free enterprise.

"Anabolic's success is due to their impeccable desire for quality. The founder Chris insists on certain things, like excellent production values, a certain quality performer... I think this [Rough Sex] is a step further than they've gone. And that's because I've directed it. It is something that I have experience in and it is something that I am familiar with.

"I've been reading the criticism. I've read Rebecca Bardoux's criticism that this is terrible and people go to jail for this. This is a lifestyle, Luke. There are people that participate in this. They get pleasure from it. I have simply documented it. That's all. Nothing more... Now they're going to try to make some big deal that we do something terrible to the girls, by bringing Regan Starr to the forefront.

"That charge can only be described as adolescent buffoonery. We have a videotape of what occurred. She claims that she had the s--- knocked out of her. We have a videotape that disputes that. She claimed that this went on and on and on.

"I made an error with Regan Starr. I did not want to shoot her. She insisted to me that this was her lifestyle. She insisted to me that she enjoyed it. And she insisted to me that she did this at home. On the telephone, I was fooled 100%. The day of the shoot, when I met her, I made a judgement that I did not want to do the shoot. She implored me to go forward and against my better judgement, we did. And we only shot for six minutes. Two minutes and thirty seconds of which the action was centered on her. And then we cut the scene.

"And for people to say, 'Oh, you're forcing girls to do this.' That's ridiculous. And somewhere, somehow the accurate story will come out. There was the charge earlier brought by Linda Thoren that certain things happened that are termed rape."

Linda Thoren wrote: "My x-boyfriend Tomas Edberg interviewed Jewel Valmont last week in LA for the European magazine Cats. On the question, if it was anything she regrets in her carrier, she said that, doing this scene for Anabolic in Raw Sex #1, is the only thing she would like to be undone. She was even forced to do things she had clearly said she didn't want to do. (in Europe we call these things rape...) I fear that Anabolic -- if they continue doing these kind of scenes -- jeopardize the whole future of the Biz."

Kahn: "Well, the victim of that so-called rape has already disputed Linda Thoren's account of it and has continued to work for me subsequent to that and will work for me again.

"I don't know what you and Gene Ross do. I'm a big First Amendment guy. I respect the fact that you can print anything you want. Yet when someone like Linda Thoren writes that, it is incumbent on you or Gene to say, 'What about the fact that the girl was disputing your charges? Do you want to elaborate? Do you want to stand by it?' It's dangerous stuff and you've admitted that you've been hurtful to people in the past for this exact kind of thing. And I believe that if you could do it over again you might undo a few of the things that you have done."

Luke: "True."

Kahn: "It is frustrating. And I believe that most of the criticism is because of the origin of the tape - Anabolic Video."

Luke: "So if Elegant Angel released this tape, there would not be as much criticism?"

Kahn: "They're doing it now. I went into the store... First, I'm a fan and I rent videos. And second, I went in to peruse the competition. And I see Elegant Angel's knockoff Gangbang [Angels]... Considering Patrick's recent history, I'm sure the movie was directed by either his gardener, or by his maid's boyfriend. And the big hook on the movie is 'Shot in a real frat house.' I guess that makes the sex better.

"So I turn over the box and see an interesting thing. It's starring a woman named Miko Lee. And they gleefully write on the back of the box 'She likes it rough.' And they show a picture of Mr. Marcus choking her, with a grimace on her face. I haven't seen the movie so I can't say what exactly is taking place. But I know Mr. Marcus. He's a friend of mine. I have an idea what took place but I didn't want to bother renting it... After criticizing us, they're inmitating us."

Luke: "Where do you want to go with this series?"

Kahn: "I wrote in response to Linda Thoren: 'Even us misogynist / human pieces of vomit have feelings too.' Frankly, considering what is going on, I'm going to rethink it and take a break. I've spoken to Chris at Anabolic and I'm going to at best, put this on long hiatus and at worse, I might do something else."

Luke: "Is porn your fulltime gig?"

Kahn: "No."

Regan Starr Rough Sex Controversy

AJB writes on RAME: It shows that consent was granted at the beginning but it was not well informed consent. It also tells us that she, ultimately, had control to stop her participation but that she was intimidated too much to cut it off as soon as she might otherwise have wished. If she took the producer & director to court (not sure what the exact charge would be in California) I'd be on her side. Unfortunately, Regan Starr might not get work anywhere else in the porn industry if she did this AND the lawyers would rape her more than any porn movie makers ever could.

I'm still not convinced that this type of movie should be banned / shunned as an entire class of product. Regan Starr's testimony simply tells us that one scene from one instance of the rough sex product class may have criminal or civil legal issues involved. As long as the performing girls know exactly what their getting into, are well informed, they are of sound mind and take the job description seriously, I can't see how this kind of work is much different from WWF fake wrestling, getting the s--- beat out of you in an action film, playing a rough pro sport, etc, etc. If Regan Starr were crying about getting hurt repeatedly playing hockey in the NHL, there would be no cries to ban hockey. People die or get badly injured in phony wrestling, where's the movement to ban it? Vic Morrow got his f---ing head chopped off doing a scene in "Twilight Zone: The Movie" -- this resulted in a court case (negligence and wrongful death charges I think it was) but did we all think it made sense to condemn and/or ban all science fiction? Of course not. And I'm not knocking over a straw man argument. A few folks have, essentially, said that if it's got sex and violence mixed together, that type of movie should be automatically banned or boycotted.

Rough sex on film is just another job a consenting adult can do, another means of employment in which the employer has a very much heightened responsibility to watch out for the safety of the employee. It's just mixing sex with violence that gets the Puritans upset and they use the terms "rape" and "misogyny" to buttress their arguments, hiding their private moral / religious angst under the banner of feminism, patriotism, the Laws of Nature or whatever high minded notions they can subvert to their cause.

Atomic writes on RAME: What, is no one responsible for themselves or their own actions anymore? If she didn't like the treatment she was getting, why the didn't she get up off her knees, wipe the drool off of her chin, and get the hell outta Dodge?

One word: greed. She accepts the treatment, takes the money, then later bitches because she didn't like the way she was treated. 2 to 1 she'd do it again in a heartbeat if it put money in her pocket. However, in the screwball world that we live in, it can't be her fault: she's the victim of greedy, unscrupulous men, eager to exploit her for the sake of filthy lucre.

What's surprising is that those who have been so quick to criticize the RS2 Director have been just as quick to come to the defense of the poor female victims who were abused at his behest. Why aren't the female performers just as responsible for the video as the Director and the male performers?

Gina Ryder Strikes Back

Gina Ryder writes Luke: "I was just reading your site when I couldn't help but to laugh out loud and to bring to Shay's attention what you had written. Yes, it is true people have read about us on your site and a lot of what you have printed about us has been very hateful comments and remarks that were supposedly sent to you from XXX, fellow porner, source, close source or whatever you want to refer to them as. But never did you refer to your sources as our ex-lovers until now. Thank you Luke for finally printing the real truth in this statement. Luke "How often I've allowed their ex-lovers to pound them, without mercy, on my site." Would this be referring to Chuck and Joe? Give us the real scoop from now on and don't feel that you need to protect their names especially when its ex-lovers that are using you and your site."

Luke: "Damn, you write well. Like a lawyer. I've been talking to a few of those of late for my defamation of character suits. Khan Tusion also sounds like a lawyer."

Gina Ryder's ex-husband Joe writes: "nothing has been written by me since december 98. what i feel or think about gina is not easy for most to understand. it's just now that i realize how much i hated being a suitcase pimp. i was sick everyday. that makes no one better or worse. it makes no one more devious or morally superior. it just makes a point of us all being different. i shouldn't write you , but i have had enough time to analyze my reactions and feelings and everytime i think i am doing something right it gets twisted to make it look as if it comes from a whole different angle. not a day passes by that i don't worry or feel remorse for moving my life to los angeles for sake of fame and profit. i lost my best friend. i would give the world to change things for myself and what i lost, but even with all that love i would still rather be alone in my new life than with gina in hers...and i am not being presumptious. i know what i want isn't what she wants. i just wanted it to be understood i am not "XXX" but yeah i used this medium to reach one person. now Luke F-rd or whoever is going to respond to this with a vicious remark or attempt to belittle my feelings.......here's your target."

Luke met Joe and Gina when they were first entering porno, on May 11, 1998. At the time, I wrote this:

From San Antonio, Texan Gina Ryder entered porn near the end of April, as the industry struggled with its most serious HIV outbreak yet. Ryder stripped in clubs for 18 months "and was ready for the next level. I had gotten to the high level of dancing… Now I am working my way up in this world."

In February of 1998, Gina got breast implants for $3800, moving to a 34D. "I've had nothing but positive results from it."

Her favorite video so far is Tales of Perversity (with Brick Majors) for Elegant Angel's Marc Wallice, shortly before my news on his HIV + positive status hit the internet.

Condom only Gina plans to be in the adult industry for the long haul to make as much money as possible. Her stocky briefcase holding boyfriend Joe stood beside her as we talked. "I don't know how long I will insist on condoms. But while I am new to the industry. I am still learning who is who, learning who injects… Who does drugs… "

Joe and Gina have dated for three years, living together since the end of 1996, and engaged since October 1997.

"We have probably seen three porn movies in our whole life. We're not very sexual. We're just in this business for the money. We want to get to know the industry. She's in it for the name and status. Come the turn of the century, the adult industry is going to be explosive. Once we get a cure for AIDS. It won't be for the guy in a trenchcoat masturbating in a corner, rather it will be for couples. It will create strength in marriage.

"We probably have a better relationship than anyone. We are open. Men cheat, women cheat. You have to accept that. America is a great country but it needs to open up its sexuality. Even if you are married, you are going to want to have physical contact with others. It doesn't mean you are going to lose anything emotionally from your relationship. It has made us more secure.

"Now is a very scary time, considering the four HIV cases in the last few months. But when you see how it was spread, who did it and who the partners were, and it is not so scary. I am not going to name names. [He seems to be referring to Marc Wallice.] It's over. PAW, with its testing, has finished it. If you are stupid and are not going to take tests, you should only mess with your own life, not other peoples'.

"I thought the industry would be scary with drugs, mafia, Boogie Nights, Jerry Springer show… But it is nice. We are here to make money in this billion dollar industry. We're here to make money and achieve status and stardom. There is no sneaky underground to this industry. At least we have not seen it."

Gina: "No one makes you do anything you don't want to do.

"We just got in touch with Jim South and came out. He's taken good care of us.

"We've mainly been shooting for Elegant Angel."

Emmett Strikes Back

Emmett writes: Dear Ms. Bradley, Since you were a good friend to Phyllisha Anne during the boob crisis I will be more polite and try not call you names like I didn't do to Whacked Jack. But if you truly enjoy rough sex, then more power to you. I am not going to try to do some psych evaluation on you to figure out why you like it, but please becareful. Men who enjoy rough sex usually do go overboard by accident, especially during climax. Now to touch on your comments.

1. Yes, I am a full fledged hetersexual who despise homosexuality (only with MEN!).

2. Rough Sex II, along with any other pornography does stimulate men to rape. Men can easily get more aroused then women and can be aroused for constant hours a day especially from age 13-35. If a man commits rape, he usually (almost always) watch a porno. True, their others reasons to why he commited the rape but pornography can aid in the stimulation. Certain pornography such as RSII can support in the most deadliest of rape, Sadism. Some would just rape a woman and leave. Sadists usually like to torture a woman before and after sex and usually end up killing the woman in the final assualt. Kahn Tushion is showing the world the uglier side of porn. I thought wanted to rent it but the more I think about it, I would hate to watch a video tape that could lead me down that path of abuse. Some can watch it and say no. Others can perform rough sex with their partner without causing harm. The rest could just add this along with their other videos to help stimulate them to rape and perform sadistic acts emulated from what the watch and read. I can't see why someone as smart and sexy as you would want to be apart of it. You know what I am saying is true. But hey, porn is about yourself and not others right? So whatever floats your boat. Just becareful.

3. Metro may pay good but that s--- doesn't last long. Once they "think" they find someone better then you, they will be ready to drop you more quicker then the women in RSII (Rough Sex II).

4. Whether you are being abused for real or not depends on who is beating you. Maybe you should ask the guy who hammered you. I bet a houndred dollars that guy secretly has mixed feelings about himself on whether he was real or not.

5. "WHATEVER!!!!!!!!" my ass! You better stop doing s--- like that or someone going to say "whatever" to you when their beating your cute ass into coma!

Hey Mad Jack, for someone who walks into a stranger's house to receive fellatio in front of a family who is obviously chaotic, you sure do to talk a pile elephant s---. But I guess I should let you have the last say since Luke F-rd site is the only thing you have really going for yourself, Mr. Under house arrest!

And from what I recollect from reading Luke's site, you spent sometime in prison. So who was "spanking it" to you? When you were in prison who was shoving their 5lb rump roast up your ass.? If I did spank myself, it sure would be a whole lot better then being like you, letting some guy slob over your gob while you were being pinned in the shower. Hey, is that why you like to perform rough sex on women. To release all that pent up jiz some big bruiser dumped in your ass.

Jack you such a loser. You are going no where. Once the people are done with your prison barred ass, they will just throw you in the gutter. Never mind. Perhaps they already did. Maybe that's why you go find crazy, trashy, ass people to give you a blow job. You are such a loser. So get over my comments and get lost. I done with you, "little boy".

Mad Jack replies to Emmett: Emmett: It's your lucky day. Your name will actually appear on Luke yet one more time and you can pretend like someone actually gives a s--- about you or what you think. Now, instead of just responding to your senseless diatribe about me, I would like to comment on your rebuttal and views to Ms. Bradley(by the way, her and Earl are friends of mine).

In reference to #1... No one gives a s--- if you suck cock or not, but I have little doubt that since it was your first response, you probably do, and are just ashamed.. Don't be, we (industry folk) don't mind. As a matter of fact, we're always looking for new faces(once you actually turn 18 mind you) and might actually be able to find you some work other than at McDonalds.

#2 If you really feel that ALL pornography promotes and stimulates men to rape you're on the wrong site. I'm sure in your reference to age, you're VERY familiar with the lower(13) end of the scale, and I have to wonder just how you come up with a comment about ALL rapists watching porno...Been there, done that buddy??? You seem to have a lot of what the police refer to as "inside info" on sadism, and just how these freaks do their thing...In your reference to "renting" Rough sex 2, pal, I think you live it...And that f---in' scares me. You mention that you are afraid of going "down the path of abuse." Buddy, I think you've been down that road many, many times before. What other reason would you have for lashing out at the beautiful women that make our business flourish.

#3 You know s--- about Metro or any other adult company for that matter so please keep your lame, wannabe comments to conversations with your mom. Kianna is cute and has a great attitude and will be in this business for many years to come, with or without Rough Sex!!! $3 I really don't think you could put $100.00 together to back your bet(no overtime at Mickey D's).

#5 She can say "whatever" whenever she wants, punk, because I truly think that Earl would slap the s--- out of anyone who didn't like it. NOW WHAT... Now on to your comments about me: Where you came up with my "walking into a strangers house" is beyond me. Never have I shot a scene "in front of a family." The people in question were not present when the shooting happened(other than the young lady, who chose to blow me). as far as what I have going for me, my productions speak for themselves. Pretty girls, lots of HOT sex, and fun for all... Things could be a lot worse, wouldn't you say?

Lukes site is just a bonus. And YES I spanked it in prison...Where do you think I got my name, asshole. It started out as" The Mad Jacker" but got cut short(like your dick) in transition. Sorry to disappoint you but the only pinning I experienced in the pen were the one we smoked!! I don't believe I EVER said I like to perform rough sex on ANYONE, especially women, so get a clue partner, and really, get a life.

Emmett replies: Jack, you are such an oxymoronic retard. You said"...you can pretend like someone actually gives a s--- about you or what you think." If that is true monkey spunk, then why did you reply to my last letter? I must have touched base with my comments last time. I surmise that I was accurate, and now you are using Kianna Bradley as a backup rebuttal. So, I am not going to reply to your last remarks. It is fruitless to a dumb ass convict like yourself, "Mad Jack off". If you don't get it then their is no need in continuing the matter. I am not going to waste space and time to rebuttal your dumb ass remarks "little boy".

Kendra Jade - The Non-Contract Girl

Kendra Jade, who's supposedly under contract for John Kenney's LGI Distributors, says she's shot ten movies for other companies since CES. The latest extravaganza, says Jade, is called "Kendra Jade - The Non-Contract Girl."

Luke: "What is the plot?"

Kendra: "A guy who tries to f--- me. And I don't want to f--- him. And so I start shooting pornos for other companies."

What underlies this is that Kendra wants out of her contract with LGI so she can sign on with Luke's sponsor FANTastic!.

Luke wants to talk to Regan Starr, star of "Rough Sex." Please call or email me.

AVN journalist Mark Kernes and I will be on Los Angeles radio Sunday night from 8PM - 10PM. The station is KRLA-AM 1110, a CBS affiliate. The topic will be porn vs religion.

Brandy Alexandre appears on the Bob Berkowitz show on eyada.com at 8PM Tuesday, PST.

Does Bodil Joensen live? Frank writes: I've been searching for ages trying to find out more about 70's Danish porn actress Bodil Joensen. According to the information you have on your site, she is dead, but according to what I've heard elsewhere, she is still alive! I think it would be great to see a more detailed examination of her life and work as I think she was a true pioneer of porn, and definitely worth mentioning in the same sentence as the likes of Linda Lovelace, John Holmes and Ron Jeremy!

Net Porn Debate

Columnist Jacqueline Tresl opines: "Keep the raunchy stuff on the Web; it's fine by me. I'm not some weird religious zealot, but c'mon, if I see "huge ---- needs luscious ----" one more time, I'll throw up. But isn't there a porno-loving techno-geek out there somewhere who could invent a special search engine just for the lecherously inclined? Something like Infosexseek or Yahoohotmama or Lycosletyoufeel? You guys keep your smut over there; I'll search the Web over here."

Darklady.com aka Theresa Reed replies: Ms. Tresl, "I just read your opinion piece online and must take offense at your categorizing everyone who has adult-related material online as a 'bad guy' and all those who do not as 'good guys.'

"If you have a problem with an unsorted library reference service, like search engines, then think of ways for them to improve their services. Don't complain because you've got too many dead ends for your research. I run into the same thing when I'm trying to do research on historic topics: I get tons of religious links when I want history, not mythology.

"I agree that there are adolescent, irresponsible people running some of the adult Web sites out there. The technology is new and relatively inexpensive, so some cheap work is available and unprofessional people are handling it. Time will change that, and technology will make it increasingly easy to avoid. Name-calling and division will not make things better.

"The answer is not to banish subjects that offend you personally to some corner of the Web, but to refine conventional search engines. Think for a moment. What's 'porn,' and who's going to decide? Is it porn if it's put out by a man but not if it's put out by a woman? Is it porn if it's put out by a lesbian and contains women's health and sexuality resources and information? Is a site with the personal story of a transsexual 'porn?' Is a health site with information about birth control and/or abortion 'porn?'

"I review adult videos, books, magazines, Web sites, etc., and I've seen a lot of porn in my life. My specialty is interviews/profiles, and it exposes me to a lot of people in the adult entertainment industry. There's a real move toward increasing responsibility for those serious about what they do and the more I see, the more I learn that there are many definitions of 'porn.'"

Bunny Ranch

Attar writes about the Moonlight Bunny Ranch, advertised here: http://www.spectatormag.com/ADPGES/mb.html

Attar: Luke: The above site, which is a brothel in Nevada claims you can go there and actually f--- XXX stars such as Teri Weigel, Kristina St. James, Nancy Vee, Heaven Leigh and many others. Do you think it's real? If so, I wouldn't mind having Teri Weigel scream like a maniac or having Kathy Willets skanky sphincter wrapped around my shaft. Again, please let me know if this place is for real. All the best, Yuri P.S., The some piece of ass named Princess Rio on the site that's a drop-dead gorgeous knowckout. I just can't believe that chick like her will just open her gash for cash. Anyway, Luke, if you know anything at all about this place, let me in on it.

Luke: Yes it is for real. Call 1-888-BUNNYRANCH.

Scarecrow19 rates Kendra's performance at the Ranch: Our trip to the Moonlite Bunnyranch begins thousands of miles away and months before it ever happens. I'm a special case, a virgin at age twenty-one searching for the "first time" I'll remember for the rest of my life. I happened to learn about the Bunnyranch and its association with stars of the porn industry, in particular Sunset Thomas. Our voyage still in the planning stages, I find out that Sunset will be at the ranch the week of January 8, so I, and my four closest friends, book our flight for Reno. It's a cross-country odyssey to get me laid. What a rush.

Once in Reno I learn that Sunset is under the weather and will not be appearing at the Bunnyranch. From the highest high to the lowest low in one instant. Little did I know that fate has brought me to Miss Kendra Jade. It's Friday afternoon, the 14th of January, and we're off to the ranch. We pull into the parking lot at about 2:00 PM. My adrenaline is pumping. There's no turning back now.

We enter and are blinded for an instant by the change from light to dark. Once our eyes refocus, we feast them on the incredibly gorgeous women the establishment has to offer. And there's Kendra Jade. And suddenly, I'm not me anymore. I turn to Kendra and say, "I came here for you." And it's on. She leads me, my hand trembling, back to her room where I inform her of my virginity. "I'm honored," she says. We negotiate the price. At this point I'd have paid anything. We book our session and back to the room we go.

She starts with a back massage, clawing her way up my back. "Oh, my god," I think to myself. "This is actually going to happen." After the massage, she tells me to undress and I gladly comply. She starts with a hand job. Then, she whips her head around, gives me that "You're going to love this" look and goes down on me orally. I'm in heaven. After about five minutes she asks me how I want her. "On top," I say. And she mounts me.

We begin our sex symphony. "f--- me," she whispers in my ear, over and over. If only I could bottle this intensity. Suddenly, she jumps off. "I want you on top," she says. And so, on to position number two. "f--- me, f--- me hard," she whispers again. I tell her I want her doggie style and she flips over. We're at it again. As I thrust in and out, she reaches back and tickles my balls. I can't last much longer. I ask her if she wants me to cum. "Yes," she says. "Cum inside me." And it's done.

There it is. The truest of stories. I lost my virginity to a porn star. Kendra Jade is an awesome woman, just twenty-two years old and worth every last penny.

Luke Has No Feelings, No Credibility

Luken writes: I think it might help you and your site to clarify your personal and professional identity for your reading public. I first saw you on Foxfiles and assumed you were a legit journalist and anti-porn.

Reality check: Are you a porn historian? Yes, since you wrote History of X.

Are you a journalist? No, since you make up your stories, do not verify sources,and do not profess any journalistic standards(do you?)

Are you a porn journalist? No, you are not a journalist of any variety. See the above.

Are you a business news reporter? No, you are completely unreliable and have no standing as a journalist, period.

Are you a tabloid journalist? Yes.

Are you a gossip columnist? Yes.

Are you a porn trivia expert? Yes, and always glad to field a porn trivia question.

Are you a pornographer? Yes, by any definition you like. You distribute pornography via your website and mailing list. Any thinking adult clicking on your site immediately realizes you are a pornographer, especially now thanks to your newly prominent banner advertising.

[Luke: I do not have a mailing list.]

Are you a credible source? In no way and in no industry, porn or otherwise.

Are you a pathological liar? Yes.

Do you have any feelings? None that are discernible in your writing.

Your pat reply (see Rolling Stones interview) is "I do not care," when asked about issues that would curdle anyone else's blood. Anyone posting on your site should recognize the real reason you post their material is that you do not care. Controversy is your only standard.

How can anyone be a writer without feelings? They can fool people, and write insignificant verbage, or make it up as they go along to make it interesting.

What is your specialty, what is it that you are best at? The people of the porn industry, and specifically your specialty is gossip, again, not news of any variety.

Did it ever cross your mind, Luke, that someone set you up on XXX, realizing full well you would publish it without verification, unable to resist a chance at a story? It's obvious to anyone reading your site that you are a sitting duck for this sort of setup. Just send it to Luke, and he'll publish it regardless of any damage done to any individual's reputation...he truly does not care.

You might check with a specialist at the University of California to see if you genuinely suffered frontal lobe damage. The book Descarte's Error, by Antonio Damasio, a neurologist, is all about a man who suffered frontal lobe damage. Check it out!

I'd also like to comment on the 2 phrases you use that drive me craziest: I do not care.......means I have no feelings. I do it for the money....means there is no other feeling reason to do or justify anything in your empty life, brother.

Do me a favor and whenever you catch yourself saying "I do not care" say "I have no feelings" instead. Same thing for "I do it for the money"...."I have no life." Try it till you understand what you're trying to tell yourself.

And when was the last time you contacted your mom and dad? How about doing so while they're still around. Make a script of questions prior to each call asking about THEM , so you don't forget to.

[Luke: I call home about once a week.]

I strongly suggest you get that frontal lobe checked out at a neurology clinic. Again, you can be referred by Univ of CA. If nothing else, it may put you on to the reality that you may be suffering from an emotions deficit, a hallmark of frontal lobes damage. The people who write to you might also examine their consciences and egos.... Good luck in life, Luke!

Luke's sister writes: "Hi luke this guy seems pretty spot on to me - what do you think? am i missing something?? why dont you check out this frontal lobe damage issue as he suggests - you would have nothing to lose. you sure changed alot at about that time - not your fault at all of course but it would be good to know if there was some treatment available that would bring back the boy i used to know before the cfs and the car accident."

Luken writes: I'd like to know if you really believe you can recover from the XXX lawsuit, Luke. I'm sure if you had any evidence the girl in the video was Christi you would have posted it long ago. Instead, you joked, "Won't it be hilarious to watch Christi reenact the dog scene for the court?" No, Luke, it would not be funny, which just goes to show you're out of touch, man.

In fact, the likely result of XXX's lawsuit will be you are put out of business.....at least on l-keford.com...(though you will probably just open another site). Do you have enough sanity to realize that is the likely outcome, and have you taken any measures in terms of looking for future employment, or is the plan still to run to Israel and set up shop there?

The most dismaying thing of all is you lack feelings appropriate to what you did. Even if it was XXX--and you've already admitted you have no reason to believe it is--how could you ever justify posting those pics? As one reader commented early on, the girl in the video DOES NOT MOVE, has no muscle tone, she is probably drugged, and who in their right mind would knowingly volunteer to be mounted by a dog...and on video....

But your choice was to side with the ABUSER not the VICTIM...after all Luke F-rd's ego was on the line and he had to have the big story, right guy? Well, you're f---ed for sure now, little man. You are going to be put out of business and maybe then....but only then....you'll get the message it wasn't OK.....but if you could justify it in your head in the first place, I truly doubt you'll ever really get the message... YOU CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING.

I wonder if your on-line partners Lynne L-patin, James D, and Jim Gunn will stand in as character witnesses? After all, anybody who could support what you did is as lacking in character as you, Luke. Why hasn't any of them commented on the XXX fiasco? They're professional pornographers, what do they make of the video? Do they go along with it, or do they protest? Why haven't we heard from them?

You porn guys forget how outraging and infuriating pornography is to the public at large....families are fighting to protect their children, and pornography totally enrages them and other adults in society...it is seen as inexcusable behavior just to look at pornography in public by many adults. You pornos live in an insulated world, where your behaviors are ever more extreme.....so finally it was OK for you to show a dog f---ing a drugged girl and feel absolutely nothing about it. Well, there's going to be a big reckoning, Luke, and we'll see who's laughing, and who's left standing, little brother.... And I guarantee you won't be the ass laughing when XXX's lawyers are done with you, boy.

I believe you should 1)apologize, and admit what you did was totally unconscionable and indefensible and 2) settle out of court on whatever grounds are acceptable to XXX's lawyers and 3) shut down l-keford.com and find a life interacting one on one with people in the real world ( which is far more exciting, Luke), not irresponsibly playing human pinball behind your computer. I hope you are ultimately able to feel some of the shame and humiliation you inflicted on XXX.

Chava Himmelman - She Wolf Of West End Avenue

Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, this is a PRIVATE message to you. Please do not publish it, as it presents the nucleus of a business plan that I do not want to show to potential competitors. (Also, it cannot be of much interest to your readers.)

The writing is on the wall for porn as we know it. Soon, the forces of social sanity and sanitation will begin to scrub your valley clean of smut, and what will remain? Nothing but porn for lesbians and gays (which no one has the balls to touch). And yet, there is still going to be a market for socially acceptable, hetero porn that the authorities leave alone. By "socially acceptable", I mean porn that by its very nature is confined to some social ghetto that is so narrowly drawn that is does not threaten the sensibilities of the censors, either because the people depicted are not of their group, or because the situations are not violent and militantly counter to accepted societal norms. This is what I propose.

I want to make a series of ethnic porn videos pitched to specific ethnic groups, porn with positive social messages. My first working title is "Chava Himmelman - She-Wolf of West End Avenue" The treatment: establishing shot: It is Friday night, in a conservative temple on 86th Street, Upper West Side. The rabbi gives a speech condemning intermarriage to goyim, and bemoans the fact that so many jews do not view one another in erotic terms. This upsets Chava, a 30-ish social worker who lives in a rent controlled apartment on West End Avenue (Hillary Clinton Country). She resolves to do something about this, namely, to make a series of educational porn videos in her apartment that will change jewish attitudes towards sex with their own kind.

Some of these videos will have an S&M aspect to them, ala Max Hardcore, but with a jewish slant. Just imagine what could be done with a dry, hard, kosher salami, purchased from the Second Avenue Deli. Or with a Platinum Amex credit card, the edge of which has been honed razor-sharp. Or cross-dressing, in which an orthodox jew is made to wear women's clothes that include mixtures of linen and wool! (OK, maybe that is too extreme.) Well, you get the idea.

The point is to present these videos as socially responsible because they re-sexualize people, and attempt to get them to mate with their own kind. Similar videos could be made for other ethnic groups. (Imagine a video series in which black NBA stars are depicted preferring black women to white - NO ONE would oppose such a wholesome product.)

I have the idea, and the capital, but have neither the actresses nor actors to do this right. Everyone I know is too shameful to f--- on video for others, even if for a good cause. (And the one woman I know who would gladly do this is a goy, looks it, and is nuts, which means I cannot use her.) Also, I know little about distribution of such product. How should one go about it - by distributing flyers at kiddush? Word of mouth? I need your help in this Luke. Thanks!

PS How did your interview with that Israeli "journalist" go, or has it not taken place yet? Do you want me to shame him into talking to you?

Is that fellow Vasiloff paying to defend you? As your boss, he should, and if he is not, he is a cheap Ukrainian Jew who brings dishonor to pornographers everywhere. Regarding my business plan, I was serious about this. Common, let's you and I make some real money from our fellow jews! I need some contacts to act in this, especialy suitably comely jewesses in NYC who won't pop me when I tell them what I want them to do and why. You must know someone, or at least know someone who knows someone. And how do I handle distribution?

Any chance that any depositions your lawyer takes of whatsername will be published on your web site? Just think of the possibilities: What is your name? Have you ever had carnal relations with a poodle? Have you ever had carnal relations with a wallabee? How about a Hungarian border collie? . . . . Have you ever has sex with a lobster . . . Then, after denying actual coitus, he could ask the same questions, but regarding oral sex. And then ask if XXXXX ever felt carnal desire towards the various life forms in question. But seriously, this would not be the jewish thing to do, or the human thing for that matter, so do NOT do it.

Please ask all your porn friends if they want a role in "Chava Himmelman - She Wolf of West End Avenue". Or how about "The Shulamit Slutsky Story", or "Damn, That Sistah is H - O - T !" I already have the financial backing for this!

God's Plan

Peter Luther Christian writes: Dear Mr. Ford: I note with sadness that a number of your "friends" are offended that Christians are praying for you as your your anointed hour of combat with the Beast approaches. We are quite used to such hostility - that we can bear up under it all is part of what makes us Christians. But before you join them in your own demise, please ask yourself this question: "What are my friends in pornography doing for me? Have they arranged to provide me with legal representation? Do they pray for me?" Seriously, Mr. Ford, while as Christians we especially love God's Chosen people, the Jews, are any members of your congregation praying for you? Have they EVER done anything to help you in life? It is time to learn who your real friends are.

Another topic of interest to us has been the frank discussion concerning the increasingly hostile, openly violent tone of pornography. This represents a change only in that in the past, the pornographer made some effort to keep his profound hatred of young women hidden. Today, the Beast feels so emboldened by the passivity of the masses that he makes far fewer such attempts at evasion. So be it. KNOW THIS - Christians know what is happening, and we have already begun gathering evidence for use against you pornographers. Christians have been in touch with people in media and politics, as well as in other circles of American life, and have found a great many sympathetic ears of influential people who are eager to strike back. And when the day comes that you are joined in battle, those arrayed against you in the courts of law, commerce, and public opinion will surprise you. Great changes are coming! Yours in Christian Love, Peter Luther Christian, OBE

Andrea writes: luke, what happened to the archives, star info and all the other extras of your site?

Luke: They are there. I could not see them either after the makeover. I found I had to change my monitor settings to 800 by 600, up from 640 by 480.

Fred Flintstone writes: 1. Litigation is the sport of kings.

2. I was unaware that your sponsor is Canadian. I speculate that the market for Canadian Barristers and Solicitors is not as pricey as LA legal gun slingers, athough I have been involved twice in litigation in the U.K., and London barristers and solicitors are highway robbery. Our London solicitor got $600/hour, which puts to shame what high price Americans were earning at the time. (The lead partner in my firm was billing at about half that.)

3. If you are in default for not filing a reply to the complaint, I'd push them to get you legal representation quickly.

4. If I were your Canadian sponsor, I would ask the attorney for a budget. The retainer is one thing. How much does the attorney think it will cost to take the thing to trial? (Of course, since you are not paying, I'm not sure whether it is in your interest to have your sponsor be a more savvy shopper for legal services.)

On another note, do you suppose a) Peter Luther Christian is on the level, b) he is a nut, or c) he is just sending you crank e-mail. (Or is he, in fact, you?) What kind of a religious person would send a porn web site e-mail?

Luke: He is sending crank emails that amuse the hell out of me. And I think he and his Christian friends really care about me and pray for me, and I appreciate that. When was the last time, Fred, that you prayed for me? Or for anyone, even a Gentile?

Fred: Why, Luke! I'm shocked! You ask on today's web page whether I've been praying for you. Of course I pray for you! What ever caused you to doubt? And of course, I pray for numerous gentiles, e.g. Brandy Alexandre and Kendra Jade (although I must admit that these prayers are not entirely altruistic, I do have their best interests at heart.)

Fred: On yet another note, what in the world is "Eros Station" of Oxnard?

Luke: A sex shop and dungeon.

Fred: BTW, haven't heard anything from Kendra on your page. Are you on the outs with her, or do you still talk to her from time to time?

Luke: No. She's been out of town and I've been absorbed with my legal problems.

Goodsexnow@aol.com duels with Brandy Alexandre on alt.sex.prostitution:

Seems brandy has crossed over the line and has become Law Enforcement (LE), so what is she doing in this newsgroup. brandy no matter what you think, if you report anybody to LE for prostitution, other than rape or child prostitution, you are LE. You don't even care if some of us get busted. You are a low life. Need proof from brandy's own hand on the keyboard, well here it comes in her own words.

************************

BA: Even if they can't get around to busting another prostitute as a favor, I wonder if they'd gladly book her up and bail so she doesn't get as many paying clients as she thinks. Hmmm. Be careful out here BT. Payback is a bitch, not to mention damn easy when all you're doing is reporting illegal activity. Yeah, I need to know which PD to report your prostitution to.

******************************************************

You must remember, sir, that Bianca Trump went after my job and now I'm going after hers. The best way for "innocent" people to stay out of the fray is to avoid selecting Bianca Trump as their hooker of choice. Granted, the message has been pretty loud that with all of her requirements for highly personal information, including your employer and work phone number, on top of the list of what she won't do being longer that what she will, there isn't much chance of people using her anyway. However, I am doing my best to warn people that I am going after her through legal channels so it's best to just stay away. ****************************************************

Then all providers are really stupid and there's nothing I can do about that. I'm only trying to get one of them royally busted, though.

******************************************************** One last question, didn't you think by reporting >her to LE that you are reporting everybody who wishes to see her to LE also, >so in a sense, don't you think you are reporting all her customers also? Yes. That is exactly what I'm doing. The effect intended is 1) that BT will be busted, and 2) that customer will avoid her like the plague she is to avoid being busted themselves.

************************************** ******** AND FINALLY THIS ONE TO TOP IT OFF********* Sorry, she made it a point and a mission to make sure I lost my job. So, I guess I do have a lot of time on my hands to wreak havoc in her life and give her a taste of her own medicine. And, if you think I give a crap about anyone stupid enough to pay her for a f---, you're sadly mistaken. Call me a bad person, but you all admit it's one of the thrills and one of the risks. I'm not looking for your support, nor do I need it.

******** no brandy I am not going to call you a bad person, I am going to call you a ruthless bitch who could give a s--- about anybody in here, be it provider or hobbyist. All the above, in your own words, shows you would just as soon see some of the persons in here get busted as not. brandy you did the absolute worst thing you could do, you got sympathy for Bianca, you got a lot of ng members feeling sorry for her, or could care less about the situation. Bianca has proven to be smarter than you, she kept her patience and her mouth shut.

******************brandy, as far as I am concerned, using your own postings, you are just another member of LE trying to get a hint of when to bust somebody. Leave this newsgroup, we don't need LE in here!

Galifrey: Luke- Trying to get into PST, but keep getting kicked out. Says it's an "invite only" channel. How do I get in?

Luke: Click on the link below and read the instructions. We're now on beyondirc.net.

<VideoEd> luke: are you dating shay sweet now?

<VideoEd> luke: is shay sweet pregnant with your child?

<Atomic> Luke, what's up with the pistola fetish? Saw some images of you waving around a six shooter like you thought you were Clint Eastwood or sumpin

<VideoEd> luke: did you offer shay sweet 7000 a month to have cams in her house for the internet?

<VideoEd> luke: are you directing rough sex 3?

<Atomic> A message to your numerous enemies: I'm armed and dangerous, don't play with the bull or you'll get the horns?

<l-keford1> Hey Atomic, are you the guy who writes on RAME?

<l-keford1> very sharp stuff

<Atomic> How's it feel to be on the other side of the microscope, Luke?

<l-keford1> Atomic, that is the message in the pics, yes

<Atomic> Luke, you flatter me, and I'm embarrased, because I've said my fair share of nasty bad things about you. Please don't shoot me with your big pistol, buddy!

<MadisonFan> i thought the message was that you were a tortured soul

<l-keford1> I think i have finally nailed down a lawyer. I went to Century City to meet with one at 12:30 and ran into this woman I'm dating.

<l-keford1> MF, I am a schizophrenic bi-polar tortured soul.

<l-keford1> SweetJem, would you like to f--- me?

<Atomic> Thanks for your generosity, Luke. So you're not going to start blasting if we ever meet at a future CES, then?

<MadisonFan> if this log makes lukes site, i want to state i want to have sex with Jade Marcela, thank you

<VideoEd> madisonfan: did you bribe her with promises?

<VideoEd> did you promise to help her music career?

<l-keford1> No atomic, I'll only start blasting if Sweetjem revs my rockets

<Atomic> Man, I saw a video on alt.binaries, erotic.multimedia that showed Zoe going A2M. Very, very nasty, especially for such a pretty girl

<SweetJem> im not your personal play thing ppl!!!

<VideoEd> luke: has matt ramsey responded to your pictures?

<l-keford1> Sweetjem, my boyfriend doesn't understand me.

<VideoEd> luke do you have any scoop on the new wicked referral program?

<VideoEd> luke you should dig and see which internet moguls are behind this

<l-keford1> Jim, call madjack some names, right now!

<JimGunn> Ha!

<l-keford1> Hey MJ, Jim Gunn thinks you're over the hill

<JimGunn> I'd like to but my New Years resolution was o be a better person.

<madjack> I am over the hil, luke

<Atomic> Luke, embarrased? You're an imposter!

<madjack> jim, don't be afraid, speak your mind

<spacemanj> New site's nice, Lukus....although the target on your head looks kinda cheesy :-)

<VideoEd> luke: your site looks 200% better with that pst banner :)

<Atomic> hey, what ever happened to that cool site that allowed the viewer to do all kinds of extra-violent things to a picture of Luke. You need to visit that site Jim, and have some fun

<l-keford1> nukeluke.com

<CraigV> Hey isn't that an LGI site???

<Atomic> Luke doesn't play fair, 'cause apparently he doesn't give a flying f--- what anyone says or prints about him. What's that called, a sociopath? or have we simply not amanged to find out where Luke's goat is tied?

<Atomic> Luke, gonna go take a few whacks at you with the hatchet. please don't take it personally

<madjack> now graigV...why do you want to get involved...you sound like one of those idiots who must be involved with luke in some way

<Atomic> anyone see the Tyson fight from the UK? Mike Tyson needs to be added to the Nukeluke site: Mike takes a bite out of Luke's ear. Mike delivers an upper right cut to Luke's jaw that pops his head off of his neck. Think of the possibilities...

<CraigV> MJ - go f--- yourself - I am not one to play your games

<l-keford1> Craig, MJ thinks you're a homo

<madjack> oh, that's right, you could ban me from lukes site, couldn't you

<VladTepes> wassup? besides Luke's rudeness to our ladies?

<JimGunn> Ok Luke, Mr. Ethics, here's a question for you:

<JimGunn> A quadraplegic young guy sent me a handwritten letter asking telling me about his miserable situation and asking, pleading if I could send him some free videos. He included proof like a photo of him in bed and his driver's license. Shoulf i help him out?

<Meni> Jim, do nice things in this life

<JimGunn> I have made that my rsolution this year

<Meni> Jim, you do that, I'll do Trinity

<JimGunn> If anyone deservessoemthing free it's this guy, I mean I was really shook up reading his letter

<KellyFire> Forward his letter to Howard Stern and see if he will make a big production out of it and then you can cash in on the free publicity.

<l-keford1> Jim, no, tell him to get in touch with Jesus Christ

<MikeSouth> good idea Luke the great healer

<MikeSouth> maybe is limbs would grow back

<JimGunn> Geez, Luke I'm sure that's what he wants to hear

<l-keford1> jim, it is a sucker letter

<l-keford1> but send it to me, i want to put it on my site

<JimGunn> Yeah but he included proof though

<JimGunn> Him in a bed, skinny crippled body

<JimGunn> It was sad.

<JimGunn> I'll send him some vids and respect his privacy, poor bastard.

<MikeSouth> hey Luke CV says I suck as a photographer

<l-keford1> Paul Fishbein tells me the same thing, Mike

<MikeSouth> well Luke...actually....you DO ;)

<MikeSouth> but i could educate ya

<neofed> l-keford1: do you have trin's pic on your site?

<TyceBune> I don't complain near as much as Herschel, right Jimmy, please tell them I don't

<jimmyD> no..cuz dave's like one of the nicest guys on the planet

<BobBlec> Ed: Dave is a classy guy; jimmy merely twists his testicles

<jimmyD> that's why i dont bust your balls as bad as i do herschell's

<`^-_-^`> Dave is the Mr. Jeeves of the porn world... will answer any and every question...

<TyceBune> Dave can f--- very well for an old guy.

<JimGunn> Luke if you want to talk about soemthinf on the site why don;t you suggest that the new female talent pick some oriiginal names for crying out loud- no more Nikki, or Nicki or Micki or Micky as first names; no Tyler or Taylor or Powers or Lynn as last names; no Amber or Ember or Ambers or Embers as either first or last names. There's too many alreday!

<`^-_-^`> no more Jades too!

<VideoEd> no more lynn's

<VideoEd> no more lynn's

<VideoEd> no more lynn's

<VideoEd> there is only one ginger

<VideoEd> f--- all the rest

<BobBlec> Ed: not even Amber?

<VideoEd> they should all be original like Inari Vachs

<l-keford1> We need more Jewish names, like Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, Leah, Shifrah, Puah

<NaurU> what happend to the rule: name of your first pet is the first name and the name of the streeet you lived on when you were a kid is you last name?

<JimGunn> Yeah, no more Steele, Iron, Irons, Copper, or Aluminum

<jimmyD> no more guys with names that are cute lil words to describe an erect and ready penis

<VideoEd> Tyce your last name is remarkable close to my last name

<TyceBune> ACtually, Bune' is just a stupid way of saying bunny which describes the energizer bunny I have on my back.

<TyceBune> Yeah, camera broke down right in themiddle of Saint's scene. So, I just f---ed her for stills till they figured it out. He He

<JimGunn> At the end Jimmy I was getting really sick from the smoke.

<`^-_-^`> I heard from JimGunn himself that he insisted everyone smoke away from him.

<jimmyD> it took me like two minutes to figure out the camera had gone south

<TyceBune> I love cameras breaking down, especially if the girl is into f---ing. He he

<JimGunn> s--- the was you guys puff I need an oxygen mask.
