Porn Leads To Anal Sex

STOCKHOLM, April 4 (Reuters) - Swedes' liberal attitude towards sex is becoming even more relaxed as increasing numbers experiment with anal sex, a new report showed on Tuesday. A Folkhalsoinstitutet study found an increase in pornography had lead to more anal sex among all age groups. But more than half of the young women polled described their experience with anal sex as ``negative''; only one of four said it was enjoyable.

Luke Gets Mail

Dog writes: I just saw the latest video by Rocco....something titled Nasty Anal Kelly in Rome, or something like that. Have you heard of it or seen it? There is a scene that looks like Rocco brutally f---s this girl who is in pain from his thrusts. She slaps him, then he gives her a POWERFUL thrust and she screams. She tries to move his hand away, and he takes her arms and puts them behind her back and continues to f---. Was that real? Is there a story to that?

Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, Lynne asks why so many jewish men marry christian girls. It is simply a matter of numbers. There are about 50 marriageable christian women for every available jewess in America. Absent a strong set of religious beliefs to preclude exogamous marriage - and most American Jews are quite secular - you marry who you fall for, and given the numbers, there is an overwhelming chance that who you fall for will not be jewish.

Of course, religious belief is not the only thing to keep one in the genomic ghetto. There is racial consciousness, ala the National Alliance, but for jews. Unfortunately, Jewish Liberal orthodoxy has stripped Jason and Jessica Jewess of their racial consciousness, of the fact that they are different from the goyim. In such an environment, why would you ever expect Jewish men and women to look past the 98% of America that is not jewish, just to find a jewish mate?

Also, as Calvin Klein and Ralph Lifs---s and Steven Speilberg have taught us, each in his own way, Christian girls are way better looking than typical jewesses.

PS Why return to your hovel in LA? All that awaits you back home are legal problems, stoney-hearted LA jewesses who do not appreciate your web site (sorry, but Lynne was dead on regarding your prospects), and a career that increasingly looks moribund. Why not make a life for yourself amongst your family in Australia?

I note that the irritating, yet lucrative, banners are gone from your site. No Fan-tastic stuff either (No loss - I could never figure out who they were, anyway) Are you now financially adrift, without the support of anyone? Who is funding your legal battles? How will you pay for your lifestyle? Are you really going to return to LA? Why - what do you have going on in LA? If you ARE broke, remember - freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. And you seem pretty free right about now.

Soybomb82@aol.com writes: Hi Luke, i was looking trough your website and noticed an article about Jordan Rivers( aka Julian). I noticed that he wrote to you telling you "Now, in two{2} seperate movies I did receive oral sex from a guy, one for a few minutes, and the other with Sharon Kane, where I did have sex with Sharon Kane only" i know that the movie with Sharon Kane was called Fly Bi Night and that Troy Halston gave him head. But i wanted to know if you knew the title of the other movie in which he got head from a guy, was he going by another name? If you have any pics in which Jordan Rivers is getting head from a guy, can you please do me the favor of e-mailing them to me.

Rod writes: Hello Luke, you have a great web site I visit it four or five times a week. My question is about John Stagliano, I was reading in a porn magazine that he does not send his videos out to "catalog", what the hell does that mean? I interpreted that to mean he bypasses General Video as a whole seller for Evil Angel, is that true? The last question is, if he bypasses the wholesale distributors how can he get it to the video stores interstate with out the feds eating his ass up? The man is the most prolific and high profile person in porn industry right, a federal prosecuters dream case or atleast for the (stupid-ass) right wingers a dream case?

Luke: To go to catalogue, means to price videos for sale, rather than rent. Most porners, after 12-24 months, drastically reduce the prices of their videos. Where once they were selling for $8-$15 each wholesale, they will now sell for $2 or so. Evil Angel tapes are the most expensive on the market, because fans are willing to pay more for long tapes full of quality hardcore sex. Thus, Stagliano does not need to cut his prices. In fact, he makes tough deals with distributors. He can afford to, because his product has pull. But he does not bypass distributors like General Video. He simply makes tough deals.

Credit Card Firms Squeeze Net Porners

See this article on www.zdnet.com. Here's an excerpt:

Adult site operators are smarting under stricter rules from MasterCard International and Visa International that require merchants to keep their charge-back rates to a minimum or face stiff fines. A charge-back is created when a cardholder refuses to accept a purchase on a monthly statement.

Mike writes: If the credit card companies would finally get off their collective asses and do something to make cards more secure this wouldn't be as much of an issue. What about smart-cards. They say it costs too much. Well folks it's time to wise up.

Alex writes: If the credit card companies would finally get off their collective asses and do something to make cards more secure this wouldn't be as much of an issue. What about smart-cards. They say it costs too much. Well folks it's time to wise up.

Reg writes: Three cheers. Last year I noticed an $80 charge on my credit card bill from the High Society porn website. Upon visiting the site to investigate, I found out that all the HS site asked for in way of identity confirmation was a zip code! So, armed with your credit card number and a zip code (both available from your monthly credit card statement), some dumpster diver could get an account using *your* card. How's that for security? It took two months to finally get reimbursed and cancel the account *AND* the credit card. I sent letters to everyone I could think of, from BBB to the FTC, but I have not confidence anyone really gives a damn.

Mark writes: It's a win/win situation for consumers. Sleazy business's with no concern toward verifying a legitimate purchase and better customer service to those that are legitimate. I've been hit twice by credit card theft resulting in adult sites charging my credit card. I'm stuck going through the hassle of challanging the charge. Now I have to wait for the inevitable 'freedom of speech' violation to counter a good move by Visa and Mastercharge.

Greg writes: I for one would be glad to see a reduction in the number of porn sites. If for no other reason, to return some sanity to the results from search engines.

Ron writes: Ya i got dinged on my credit card.If you read the fine print on these sites they say that if you don't cancel within three days they automatically sign you up for a full membership.I took a look at one of these sites, and did'nt "cancel" when i left, so then i got charged, and went to my credit card co, and did a chargeback.The only way they would stop is when i called California. They are taking advantage of anyone using these sites, big time.I never sightsee on those anymore. Who knows whats next with these sites.

Mahlon writes: And how exactly are adult web sites responsible for CC number theft? Answer: They are not. Just because a theif stole your credit card info and used it to buy something (anything) over the web does not mean the bussiness is at fault. Just how is a web merchant supposed to verify that it is really the valid card member that is doing the transaction? If I was subjected to this theft I would much rather see a $20 charge to an adult web site than a $1000 purchase at a local electronics store. Brick and Mortar stores are just as guilty, even more in fact, than web merchants because they have an indivudal who is there and forging a signature. All it takes is to ask for vaild ID and guess what, they can't supply it. Does this happen? Not often. I get IDed on my retail CC purchases about 1% of the time.

The Secret Life Of Ben Dover

Peter Hayes writes from London: I search my mind back to when I first clapped-eyes on Steve Perry AKA Ben Dover: Gonzo film maker (he films "real life sex" on-the-fly), website owner, illegal tape peddler and former jailbird.

I guess it must have been the early eighties when I saw a slim, unimposing guy with long blonde hair and a quiet demeanour. In London slang he was "a face" a guy that you saw around, but didn’t know by name.

(That also explains the name for Rod Stewart’s /Ronnie Wood’s former band of the early 1970’s.)

I presumed that he played in a band (in fact I later learned he did) and that like most band members he hung around the pubs and clubs of central London looking to be discovered. He never gained his fifteen minutes of fame as a musician and moved over in to the world of porn.

It would be wrong to say that his short musical career didn’t have it’s rewards, he met his long time girlfriend Linzi Drew through the group. She was going out with the bass player and he moved in after they split. She was semi-famous at the time from her glamour work and occasional TV appearances. Today they have been together twenty years and have a male child together called Lindsay jnr.

Linzi has, in many ways, had the more interesting life. Going from factory worker to cheerleader (at Bristol City football club - her home town) to page three girl (appearing topless in national newspapers) to adult magazine model to magazine editor to jail and then to work as a stripper and bit-part-actress in both the adult and legit film world. If the order of events is wrong forgive me.

Although most of you will not know it, you might well have seen Linzi as she played a noticeable role in American Werewolf in London. She played a part in a softcore sex film that the characters got to watch in a flea-pit cinema in Soho (the film within the film) - checking with a film database I find her character name was Brenda Bristols. She has had few film roles although few dressed, she also did skits on the Electric Blue series.

The relationship between the two remains the constant of Perry’s life. While many put their partnership on a level basis, Drew has always been put on a pedestal of lofty perspective. Even today he admits that Drew wears the trousers in their household - which is ironic given his chosen profession.

The first video boom that hit the country in the late seventies caught the Soho sex industry by surprise. It wanted product to sell, but it had little to call on bar pirating stuff from overseas or transferring 8 mm stuff over to video. The cry went out for home grown product. The Steve Perry’s of this world were the first to take a quick buck in the British video porn game.

Asked later why he entered the profession he repeated the mantra that most male actors echo: "What could be better than having sex with a good looking nineteen year old and get paid for it.?"

(To answer his mute question - what about becoming a doctor and saving someone's' life?)

To say that the early productions were crude was an understatement. Producers had not even reached the stage where they realised that they might need a script and the actors just busked the parts, which were just a set-up and then sex. Perry often lived out his forlorn rock ambitions and pretended that he was a huge star and the girl actor was a groupie. Second takes were out of the question and the camera work showed all the mobility of a firetruck caught in a snow drift. But still they sold and sold by the thousand.

Naturally the big bucks was not in appearing in porn videos, but selling and distributing them. Sometime between the 1980’s and the 1990’s Perry started selling porn mail-order. This presented a problem after 1984 as the Video Recording’s Act came in meaning that all videos sold had to have a certificate. Naturally the best selling material was illegal and Perry was caught in 1992 and sent down for nine months. Partner Drew got four months at London’s dungeon for women, Holloway.

Drew made the classic mistake of opening her mouth to the police. Silence could not have saved Perry - who was facing an open-and-shut case, but Drew’s admission that she had wrote advertising literature for the company played against her. At the time she had risen to be editor of two magazines including being the editor of the UK version of Penthouse - she lost her Penthouse job although her other magazine, Eros, stood by her.

Both parties appear infrequently on British TV to explain themselves. Drew even appeared on a programme called "Talking to Myself" where the guest played the joint role (through special effects) of interviewer and interviewee! Drew made a good play of the programme which suggested that she could - and perhaps should - have gone in to more overground media. Sadly she fell victim to taking the quick buck from porn.

While Perry is not the brightest spark in the box, you cannot help but admire him for being a constant trier. He went to the USA and talked himself a distribution deal with VCA and got himself a slot on British softcore porn channel Television X. He even shot a feature for Private, although I’m not sure it was a success. Behind the scenes Drew does a lot of the paperwork leaving the fronting to Perry.

Despite his advancing years and retreating hairline Perry remains a teenager that never grew up. He spends a lot of time lusting over women, complementing them on their looks and acting as if they were on a first date. While many gonzo porn makers speak in short choppy language, Perry revels in the English language adding touches such as "if I may say so" and "if I may be so bold as to say...." which must be a surprise to those used to American English.

Gonzo is all Perry can master - a set, cast and crew are a little beyond him. He is best with a video camera in his hand, photographing what happens. You have to admire him for keeping focus while receiving oral sex, but I guess that all comes from practise!

Today Perry spends a lot of time in the USA and Drew runs a guest house somewhere in the South of England. Drew seems to have retired to stripping, although she is an occasional TV guest where she is assured and articulate, if not a little self-serving. Occasionally she appears in over 40 magazines and runs her own website.

She doesn’t appear jealous of the fact that her partner has sex with lots of other women and seems more concerned that the girls are relaxed and happy. She has appeared in hardcore sex films herself, but I am told that she prefers girl/girl, but may have performed with the ever randy Perry.

Recently Perry has announced that he is to start a European version of his website Dendoverbabes.com and has even an AVN gong on his mantel piece. Whatever you may say about him, Perry has always been a schemer, a trouper and a worker in the grand Soho tradition.

Too Nice For Porn

Gilles writes on RAME: In answer to that guy who don't understand why a girl is too nice for porn he should know that when a girl is really nice, she can do a lot more money doing something else.We are talking here of many millions a year compare to, many years, to make a million.

Ron writes on RAME: Do we want to go back to the early days of porn when most women were fat and ugly? The pretty ones will probably get better rates (any of the producers care to comment on rates), while the ugly ones (like Dalny Marga) will have to do depraved acts just to get a job. Their day rates are probably lower as well.

Lynne: I wonder what this guy thinks are the "early days of porn?" 1992? Dalny Marga's no supermodel, Jewish or otherwise, but there've always been ugly girls in porn and cute girls in porn and the cute girls have always gotten more money because that is the way it goes in a capitalistic patriarchal society. See, I'm learning stuff in Sociology Class!

Marry Tom Arnold

Helpful in Modesto writes: As a public service to all your readers please forward this to Lynne L-patin. It's the answer to her prayers. A rich, converted Jew [Tom Arnold] who likes tattooed broads and is seeking a wife. Good luck Lynne! www.marrytom.com.

Lynne: Thank you Helpful, for being helpful, but this Tom Arnold wants a wife who will relocate and I have plans for the next three years.

Ben writes: Hi Luke,--I really think Lynne is one HOT LADY. I was having these: just woke up sexual fantasies about Lynne, DAILY! For a month now. Here is a women in her sexual prim,was a girlfriend of David Hardman,has a good job at the VETS.Its all so sexy.THEN she drops this BOMB! She played with Lex Steel's HUGE DICK on a porno shoot.After reading that! I took her off my favorites list,for sexual fantasies,along with,I would expect a thousand other guys. LUKE! you know what I mean. Now even after that LET DOWN. I will try and answer Lynne's question: " Do jewish men prefer to marry gentiles rather than jewesses?" I would say a real LOUD " YES" to that question. My first wife was a jewish girl. While having sex,she asked me if we should buy a long term warranty on the new fridge?And that was on our HONEYMOON! I knew the end was near,when we would do our books for our bisiness,at night,in bed,while having sex! One other time,she was going to give me some ORAL SEX!! She put both hands around it,and kissed her upper FIST, I asked her:"Who told you to do it THAT WAY? She told me it was her mother! Now,my second wife is gentile like in( W.A.S.P) She does not know how to boil water,but who cares? The sex with her is GREAT!

Ben, short for Benjamin, maybe? Are we Jewish? You have a problem with me messing around with Lex on the set? Is this a racist remark or is someone feeling inadequate? Please explain. I played with John Holmes' dick, too. Does that change things? Actually I don't have a good job yet -- I'm unemployed and waiting for financial aid to kick in, but THANK YOU SO MUCH, BEN, for any sperm shed in my behalf! How can I redeem myself to you? A swastika tattoo, perhaps?

Lynne: My late husband always said that Jewish girls gave the BEST head, but then, he only went after the really smart ones he met at college. We often interrupted work with sex (given the nature of our business, it's to be expected) but never the other way around. I suck, swallow, orgasm and boil water, not necessarily in that order.

Luke: Write Lynne with your sexy fantasies at BDWLCL@worldnet.att.net.

Lynne writes Luke: Here we are, thirty years down the road, and XXX doesn't know if she wants to be your mother. Didn't I read somewhere, quote, I am lucky to have had a great amount of mommies but I would like you to be the last one? Are you keeping me in reserve just in case? I love you the way a mommie is supposed to love you -- protective, unconditionally, chaste. I appreciate your intellect and charismatic glow. You would be a fool to provoke a change in terms by violating the arrangement with sexuality. It would feel like incest.

The healthy part of you needs so desperately to have adventures, but it took a long time for you to break away far enough to do so. Until your late twenties you really didn't. You spent your twenties exhausted from your own internal conflict.

Internet porn is so perfect for you. Being very bad from the safety and privacy of your own home. I'm so glad you have found this work you do.

Confronting danger and coming away intact is part of learning to be a man. Whether it's walking on the edge of legality with dubious material, or walking on the wild side of town in the dark, or walking about the outback, a man must go up against a challenge of his strength and abilities.

I have graduated from a pallet on the floor to a mattress on the floor, and Tobi, the bull retriever bitch, is lying next to me on the carpet. I am reading a book called "The Poison Tree," about a couple of badly abused kids who finally dealt with dad after the system failed them by taking a shotgun to him. Fortunately, the state governor intervenes before they are sent away to prison for life... "Slurp, slurp, slurp." Dogs do that, always licking or nibbling or something.

"Slurp, slurp, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP!" I glance over, and Tobi, her eyes glazed, is furiously licking at her vulva. (I can't say "pussy" -- Tobi hates cats!)

"Tobi, what are you doing?" I ask. She looks at me, gives me the guiltiest stare, and puts her head down in complete silence. "That's what I thought." I feel guilty about interrupting her as I envy her flexibility. I wish I could lick my vulva! We don't give animals much credit for their sentience; we certainly don't acknowledge their sexuality. We pretend they operate solely at the behest of hormones and instinct. I lie in bed and masturbate at night. Why shouldn't she?

The other thing that made me think of it was putting away my tools -- hammer, screwdrivers, etc. I was thinking, "I'll bet Luke doesn't even have a collection of tools. All men have tools. Oh well, at least I have my own and he can always share those."

Valley Guy writes: What the f---. Luke you're not fooling anyone. Why don't you just admit that you're not coming back the the good ol' US of A. With all of your legal problems you're going to stay down under. Let these insecure, lying assholes (XXX) sue all they want. #1 YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY....#2 THEY CAN'T PUT YOU ON THE STAND IF THEY CAN'T FIND YOU!!! It's pretty obvious that you are now all alone. I think it's a shame (or sham) that the only person in the biz with the balls to print the truth (and a lot of lies) has to leave the country to feel safe. Hope things work out down there. In the meantime, let me know if you make it back here because until then, I'll bee reading Gene as lately this site blows!!!

Diego writes from MIT: Luke and friends -- Pornography, like many words in the mouths of the current crop of conservatives, has become one more word/idea from which people shrink. A good dictionary defines the word as written or graphical material intended to induce sexual excitement. It doesn't mean cheap, exploitative, violent, or a host of other undesirable things. So I don't get how the term is being used on your site.

It was my understanding that you and those who support your site also support the continuing ability of decent people to produce, view, and enjoy material describing and depicting the sexual act. Isn't that the case? It seems that over the last 10 -15 years, the significance of sexual writing has declined, perhaps lending to the copy-cat nature of much of porngraphic film and video. But if I'm missing the point, fill me in. I don't get why most of the column on your site seems filled with rage against what I thought you supported.

Luke: You don't get it. I do not support the porn industry. I don't oppose it either. I oscillate in my views. There are constants - I honor truth, for instance, even when I frequently do not achieve it on this site.

Tony writes: G'day. Just an inquiry about performers we've haven't seen in awhile: Lois Ayres, Emily Hill, Sally Layd, Cherie Lawson, Sweetie Pie, Sharon Kane, Kimberly Kummings, Cassie Sheldon, Stacy King, Abby Gayle & Menage a Trois.

Joe writes: Do you know if Nikki Grand is going to do any more movies? I know I speak for many when I say "she is a fantastic performer!" She has done far too few movies and many of us want to see MUCH MORE of her!

Alan Watts writes: I feel that I have one final issue to settle with you, Luke. I feel that I was totally deceived by you about this one last con that you successfully put over on me and all your readers. From the beginning you have always insisted that you were an independent writer.

You said you were THE ONLY PERSON WHO WRITES ABOUT THE SEX INDUSTRY WHO IS NOT PAID BY THE SEX INDUSTRY. Not true, Luke. As Peter Hayes so incisively asked, HOW MANY INDEPENDENT PEOPLE HAVE YOU WRITTEN FOR? Obviously, none, and you never even graced his questions with a reply, boy, because you damn well knew you couldn't.

So there you have it. I concur with Peter Hayes, not you. YOU'RE NO INDEPENDENT AS YOU INSIST, YOU'RE JUST A PHONEY, AND A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, NO LESS. At any rate, boy, I am totally done with you. As far as I can see, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER SAID IS A LIE. YOU ARE A LIE. A very fitting way to end our silly, pointless relationship, don't you agree.

Luke: I agree.

Keith writes: Hello. I was wondering if you could help me. I am trying to find out about Veronica Brazil's services as offered in the LA XPRESS. I have never heard of this newspaper/magazine and would love to obtain a copy. Better yet, I would rather have information so I could talk to Veronica Brazil myself. I have already exhausted all my resources, including the internet, with the exception of flying to LA myself.

Luke's Diary

I leave Tannum Sands Wednesday morning for Brisbane. Then I fly home to Los Angeles April 13.

My brother has mowed a cricket pitch in the back yard and we're playing with a tennis ball. Before lunch and dinner, we play a few overs. Once I get my eye in, I become a solid batsman, knocking him all over the yard. My bowling, however, is far more suspect. I can't seem to get my line and length down. And my shoulder aches in the morning.

I think the pitch will take some spin this evening and we should be in for a bloody good night of play. I hit my brother for six twice Monday evening, right over the house and into the street.

I've been starting my day at 6:30 AM, when my brother gets up. He fixes everybody breakfast, usually oatmeal. I jump on my Toshiba laptop computer, and connect through my modem to the internet. I check my email and start preparing the day's update. It usually takes me an hour or so. Then it's time for breakfast. We listen to the ABC news on the radio. ABC = Australian Broadcasting Commission. It is goverment funded.

Then I go up to my brother's nursery and help him out for a few hours. I wait on customers, bag the odd bag of peanut shells and make a few deliveries. I'm adjusting to driving his 1980 Holden Commodore (GM) with its steering wheel on the right side of the car, and driving on the lefthand side of the road.

Using my own initiative, I filled up the car with unleaded petrol (Australian for gasoline). Then found out that it is supposed to take regular. I don't think this one mistake will stuff up the engine.

Today, Tuesday, I drove 25 kilometers into Gladstone and walked up and down its main street, Goondoon St. I recognized nobody working in the shops.

I lived here with my brother for year after I graduated highschool (6/84-6/85). I worked as a stock boy in the GJ Coles (KMart) on Goondoon. I was terribly infatuated with twin 16-year old girls (Leeanne and Rachel) who worked as secretaries up the street. I dated each briefly.

I spent most of my time wandering around Gladstone thinking about them, and the burning intensity of that early love. Then I ran into someone who knew what happened to them. Leeanne had died in a car accident. Rachel had married and moved out of town.

Goondoon Street, the center downtown district of Gladstone, has declined, like downtowns around the world, with businesses moving out to suburban shopping malls. I drove out to the big mall, the Kin Kora Shopping Center, where I ran into one of my brother's old girlfriends (1985). She's been married three years, has a six month old boy, and still looks good.

Lynne writes: You are inspiring me to run out and get some plants.... At the Wal-mart. A JAP would have them delivered and put into place and accept praise for good taste. The tool part relates to my gender class. But how many Jewish women do you know with their own tools who aren't lesbians? I would take care of you always, but that is a reversal of gender roles in a husband/wife situation. As a mother I can do that. But when Bruce became ill....it was better that we could easily reverse gender roles. What do you want me to do with the fantasies? Share them with your website? Have sex with these guys and report on it? Prepare to find myself a nice husband and say goodbye? NJG says you are a WOT. I said that I did not have any preconceived ideas regarding the relationship. There is a difference between being "in love" and "loving." I said, "Doesn't he deserve it if it is of value to him?" This is the part of "Christianity" I find valuable. I spoke with Mickey L. today. He liked the doggie part.

Lefty writes Lynne: Got your address from l-keford.com. For someone who claims to want to distance herself from the porno industry enough to move out of the state your babbling to l-keford.com has increased something like 200 times. I scroll past the s---, you know. You ain't worth reading, you can't get to a point and you have nothing to say. Being out of the porno industry makes you even less worthwhile for your opinions about it.

Dear Lefty: Who said I wanted to distance myself from porno? I love porno! After 25 years in it, I'd like to pursue another interest, which I think is understandable, and I'm in Oregon because my family is here, the air is clean, and the locals speak English. Luke is one of my best friends, and if he chooses to post my personal letters to him unedited, that's his decision (and I don't always agree with it). But as to taking a break from the porn industry invalidating my knowledge and experience, hardly! That's a very stupid perspective, buddy -- if anything, not having to play personal politics on a daily basis gives me more space to explore the issues. Who knows, maybe I'll use everything I've learned to teach a course or write a book?

Ben writes: Hi Luke, I really think Lynne likes me.I sent her a email,Im not sure she is over it even now. Jews are never racist,so it must be, she may think,Im inadequate. How could she think a nice 6ft tall jewish boy,yes quilty, but not inadequate for a nice petite 4ft 11in tall hot jewish girl. Every time I wear this Mr.ROGERS sweater,somehow I feel I have not been out with many petite ladies.Lynne! what would happen If I boiled the water,and leave all the rest up to you?
