Fly Down To Rio
Peter Hayes writes: Between the making Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Amazons Orson Wells got sent down to Rio to photograph the Carnival for a cheap RKO documentary. Orson tried to but-out saying that "it isn’t my sort of thing" or words to that effect, but the RKO bosses were adamant he was their man for the job.
He brought the material back to show them, and in the screening room they seemed less than impressed: "This is just a lot of Jigaboos jumping about!" said one. If you excuse the racism that is what the carnival is all about - a lot of jigaboos jumping about.
This is the lot of the writer that is sent down to cover the thing. Very impressive it may be in the mind of the commissioning editor, but one year looks very much like the next. Even the formless Samba beat remains as predictable as the night that follows the day - music built to last three minutes or ten hours depending on need and circumstances.
The writer’s trick is to mention the carnival only in passing and go for the individual angle. The hundreds of hours spent building floats and costumes - I put in down to having poor television and overcrowded homes. How three generation of the same family can live in one small room is beyond me - they must think that the space station MIR is a floating palace.
Rio has several myths - first one is that prices are of the third world levels. Wrong, they are roughly the same as in Europe, the only thing priced at third world level is the prostitution. The bottom of the market starts at around one (US) dollar and change, but Westerner feels insulting paying such prices and start the bidding at five to ten dollars. Naturally the inflation makes the Western customer, the preferred customer.
The Copacabana is mostly off-limits to prostitutes apart from a small part at the end of the beach. Locals know this, but sensitive tourists still get a shock, although the dental floss bikini girls are polite, smiling and never pushy. Their favourite trick is to offer small pieces of fruit or back massages as a way of making conversation or commerce; although few speak the international language of English and are reduced to gesturing, smiling and dancing to unheard music.
As I sit on a wall one sign language pickup is going on with the pro trying to indicate close the brothel is with her fingers, the would-be client pretends he thinks this is a description of the length of his dick. When he smiles they both fall about laughing.
(I wouldn’t advise going to the back street brothels - even two streets behind the seashore is a different world. Stealing from customers is far from uncommon, especially if you look like money - i.e. own your own Casio watch.)
While the pros are cheap, the hour hotels are not and many cater for the wealthy of the area. More common are motel like apartments that use the strange Morse Code of putting up the garage door - that mostly contain no cars - to indicate that they don’t want to be disturbed. You could make a fortune with "do not disturb" door hangers here.
One of the unique facilities are so-called "Full Service Flats." These are modest, but clean apartments where the customer gets bed, board and a maid thrown in. The maid offers sexual services as well as cooking meals and acting as a guide. My inquires state that the girl has to be treated as an honoury girlfriend and whoabetide any guest bringing his own sexual entertainment home.
The pimps know the language of the customer better than the girls - which is English, German and Italian. One speaks to me in German mistaking my thinning blonde hair and blue eyes. It is surprisingly good and clearly practised. Like pimps the world over he first of all starts by explaining that he is not a pimp and merely a tourist guide, trying to help me out of the goodness of his heart.
Seeing my disinterest he turns to drugs which are equally available everywhere. The coke is not cut and the power of it probably kills a couple of hundred tourists a year - although the doctors always write "heart attack" on the form. This year pills seem on the menu too - presumably in the wake of a new found rave culture.
My first port of call is O Dia - the daily newspaper and the source of all my inside dope. Reporter Carlos is not pleased to see me today, he is busy, but I can use his ancient computer to send back e-mails to home. In the vagary of newspaper syndication I could have, possibly, been in the paper however I tell them I have and they don’t argue. Besides I might be useful at a later date.
Later we meet up in the disco Help (whether this is a pun, a Beatles reference, or a random title I couldn’t tell you), where we swap journo stories of little or no taste. Carlos has seen more action that most war reporters, and I have flicked through some of the shots in the library of death and poverty up in the Favela - which sounds better than its English translation: Slum. All the houses are illegal and few have electricity. The police won’t go their at night, although some police live there in order to make more of their salary go further.
Main focus of the newspaper is bad news. Here bad news sells the best. Jailbreaks, kidnapping and scandal are all top sellers. Carlos tells me that the carnival will be used as cover to murder rivals. The costumes making the perfect disguise - later I find this to be true, a party goer has been stabbed to death while wearing a chicken costume by another wearer of another costume. Comedy and murder in one package - rather like a Tarantino film.
Prostitution is not, in itself, a story and prostitutes hang around on street outside the brothel, chatting with anyone passing. Money is god here, how you get it is pretty irrelevant. The rich are constant jokes, described as "the wall people" (people that live in high security estates), but their dream is to win the lottery and move up the mountain with them.
Hotel desk clerks are good at spotting local female talent being sneaked back to your room as that requires you to cough up a few dollars. American currency is always the preferred means of payment, although I once backhanded one some useless Albanian money when he got to make it a daily routine.
Slowly my story is forming. It is based on Monica, one of the festival queens. A black lady of about twenty two who lives with her designer husband behind those walls many joke about. I’ll tell her story next time...
Sergio from Brazil writes: f--- you, Peter Hayes. If you don't like Rio, DON'T COME BACK YOU MORON! Peter Hayes, the lazy and stupid journalist, wrote: "Later we meet up in the disco Help (whether this is a pun, a Beatles reference, or a random title I couldn't tell you." Of course you cannot tell us. I bet you didn't even came close to Help. Cause if you did, there are pics of the Fab Four plastered in every f---ing wall to tip you off, you moron.
Professor Glenn Holland writes: mr. ford, although peter hayes might have some insight on rio, he obviously knows little about orson welles....number one: the second film that he listed after citizen kane is entitled: "the magnificent ambersons" not the magnificent amazons (must be a freudian slip)...number two: mr. welles was elated about working on the project entitled: "it's all true" which documents the carnival in rio, so much as to have rko pull out financial support for it's completion because orson and his staff were long overdue in returning to the u.s. with product "in the can"....i don't know where mr. hayes obtained his quote of orson saying he wanted to "but out of this project", but it's news to me as well as my colleagues...these errors makes one wonder how accurate his assessment of rio is...
Aussie Porn
Curious writes: Shoot Luke! It's almost time for you to leave and you have not written one sentence on porn in Australia. You need to hit at least one adult store to find out what the Australian kink is. Have American tapes invaded? What about the weird German stuff? Is there much domestically produced product? Who dominates their porn market? I would also be interested to find out if the average Australian is insulted, honored, or amused that our Max Hardcore was assumed the identity of Australian superstar, Paul Hogan A/K/A Crocodile Dundee? Get on it man! How else are you going to write off this trip as a business expense? Curious ps When you flush the toilet south of the equator does the water really swirl counter clockwise? I have to know. Thanks!
Luke: Yes, the water does swirl counterclockwise. Hardcore porn is illegal in most places in Australia, but available through mailorder. Hardcore porn is illegal on the internet, and Aussie internet service providers are blocking much of it. But hardcore porn is still widely available despite these efforts, and most of it is American. Overall, Australians seem far less familiar with porn and porn stars than Americans. It plays a smaller role here. All of this I could've written without visiting, of course. I have not visited one strip club or sex shop while here.
What About The Upholstery?
Basementchild writes on RAME: What about the upholstery? I'm watching "She Squirts #2," and the women are sitting on what appears unprotected furniture. I've seen this over and over in videos: the participants squirt (urinate), ejaculate, and maybe worse, on unprotected couches, chairs and carpets. Is the furniture throwaway? Do they spend lots of money getting the upholstery cleaned? Or, do they just leave the stains there? I'm asking about mainstream commercial stuff, not low budget alternative videos, where I often see circumstances in which it is clear that not to much attention is paid to cleaning up.
Luke: Porners just rent these places and they do not give a damn about trashing them.
Kaylan Nicole Returns
She publishes on RAME: I am actually set to start a movie on the 19th (April). Randy West contacted me and I will be doing Anal Up N'Cummers Revisited. I worked with Randy before (Cert. Anal) and I am DEFINITELY looking forward to working with him again. The premise is about starlets that have worked in porn that are looking to relaunch their career. Rebecca Bardoux and Dawn Drahos are going to be in it also. I am looking forward to taking back what's mine. Anally Yours! Kaylan.
Stop f---ing With My Sexuality!
Koolfool writes on RAME: I just viewed a Private video called "The Club", and in a couple of scenes they show a guy getting reamed up the butt by a female with a strap-on. And it wasn't too long ago I rented a vid ( a straight release) where part of an orgy scene they show two guys sucking and f---ing each other!!!! And lets not forget some of the vids that show previews of guys sucking cock.
My problem with all this is the boxcover never mentions their is anything other than heterosexual activity in the movie. If I want to rent a gay or bisexual vid, I would.....but I don't.....so STOP putting these scenes in straight vids without a warning on the box. Damn.....you people in the porn industry bitch about government and others trying to impose their beliefs and restrictions on the industry....then when_you_ get a chance....you try to trick me into watching sexual acts that I have no interest in watching and spending my money on.
Can anyone explain to me what is the purpose of this trickery? Are they trying to "convert" me to loving cock as much as pussy? I swear if I ever rent a tape that shows a girl sucking a goats cock (or any other animal) without a warning on boxcover, that WILL BE the last porn tape I ever view!!! Damn...if you can't trust a pornographer....who can you trust?
Luke: It is a plot by perverts to encourage men into homosexuality.
AVN Conference
From GeneRoss.com: The second annual AVN Conference begins in Hawaii Thursday. Topics of discussion during the week will be price-fixing; creative marketing for fisting and rough sex tapes plus an entertaining and thought-provoking death threats seminar.
Luke: Gene refers to my past ridicule of the AVN Conference as a price-fixing conference. At last year's conference in Cancun, Mexico, as reported in Rolling Stone, I was discussed for about an hour (according to six different sources). Paul Fishbein, AVN publisher, lost his temper while he ranted about suing me. Steve Hirsch spoke. Then Eddie Wedelstedt came up with the solution to the porn industry's Luke F-rd problem. Eddie W offered to have me murdered.
Most of the big porners will be at the AVN Conference, including Fishbein, Eddie W, Hirsch, Russ Hampshire, and David Sturman.
The FBI is keeping a particularly close eye on Wedelstedt.
Luke, a free market conservative, believes that it is rare for businessmen to get together without forming some conspiracy to defraud the public.
Lynne L-patin writes: Rather than choosing to murder Luke, which could have been very messy and possibly a felony, the high level mucky-mucks of the porn industry came back from Cancun and decided to sic Lynne on Luke, so as to divert him from writing about the porn industry by turning his website into a discussion of whether Lynne and Luke should have sex. I was told to seduce Luke, keep him busy posting my love letters and to supply lots of copy which had nothing to do with the business. I think I'm doing an excellent job of this, allowing this year's conference to focus on much more serious issues, like the horrible burden of company owners being forced to watch their own product.
Sex.com Lawsuits
XXX writes: Steve Cohen was burned in 3 law suits up in Portland, including the one against Ron Levy / VMI. The lawsuits were stayed. Ron Levy / Gary Kremen won the interventions. BTW, the british papers have reported that Cohen's scam is to threaten people with lawsuits and then take 20 - 50% of the business for redirecting traffic to them
Amanda Rain
MarMac writes on RAME: I have found the next new superstar of adult! Her name is (ta-ta-tata!!) AMANDA RAIN! Just finished seeing Primal Urge and this girl rocks cocks!! I know that she has made just a few videos, but I predict that she will be the most talked about new girl of the year.
Inner City Black Cheerleaders 34
Chupa writes on RAME: This newest volume of the best all-black series out there features three or four of the cutest, sexiest, most in shape babes in porn but the first scene is THE BOMB! Mercury is a former ballet student turned basket ball star (in high school) and has what may be the best body currently working in smut. She is not classically beautiful like India or Lana Burner but could easily throw any of the girls in TLC off the stage. BUT, that butt, those tits, those legs, the cute way see bites her tounge with just a little sticking out of her lips when she is ready to come, I am in lust. No visible signs of either a Ceasarean or stretch marks either, just perfect skin.
For ID points, she has a small butterfly tattoo just above and to the right of her left nipple, a small stud in her belly button, another smaller one in her lower lip and a tounge stud as well but all of this manages to look like tribal adornment on an African Princess and not the souvenirs of a coked-up stripper's trip to Hollywood. She loves to suck dick long and slow and is absolutely giddy when getting hammered doggie style (and she prefers to do the hammering!) Please, post any other sightings of this Gorgeous Creature. She is followed in the next two scenes by the aptly named 2Cute4Porn (with even nicer and fuller breasts but a bitt less cute and willing) and the fabulous rangefed, lean mean f---ing machine Silky. Hats off to Woodburn Productiions!!
Dunndunn writes: Lets face it Luke, when it comes right down to it, the Inner City Black Cheerleader Search is one of the best series in porn. Some of the segues to sex are lame, but the girls are generally hot, and the sex is usually fantastic.
Navarro writes on RAME: How many of you remember Kimberly Kyle? she appeared in few movies from 94 to 97 I guess... she had an incredible ass.... AND SHE LOVED TO SWALLOW!!!!!!! I just saw 3 or 4 tapes with her, and she always took the load in her mouth, not her face.
Net Porn
John Copeland of Pixotna writes on YNOT: I think that FREE HOSTS, are one of the biggest problems on the adult internet today. FREE HOSTS benefit from traffic generated from 90% stolen content. If someone can't afford a real host -- can they afford to buy licensed content? You have maybe 10% of the FREE HOST clients using licensed content from their sponsors -- but the rest is pretty much stolen directly off other pay sites, newsgroups or from other free sites. This hurts the entire industry.
Honest free site owners are hurt because all of that stolen content out there lowers signups overall, pay site owners have watched their cost per signup almost double in the last year, and content providers and producers find their product seriously diluted by all of the unauthorized usage. I don't know of any responsible FREE HOSTS... ...oh sure... some of them put up some cursory "Terms of Use" that sound like they are somewhat responsible -- but they fail on the biggest basics of all.... - They allow TOTAL ANONYMITY of their "clients"
- They let ANYONE put ANYTHING on their servers without checking it.
- They have NO IDEA who is really putting this material on their servers.
- They have NO IDEA if the material posted on their servers is legally licensed or owned (but have a pretty good idea that 90% of it is NOT)
- They make NO ATTEMPT to verify the identity of those that post the material on their servers.
- They are HAPPY to close down their "clients" if caught infringing or with child porn or whatever. (then they get ALL the traffic to that URL!)
- They have NO WAY of keeping that same person from coming back the next day and reopening another gallery with the same content.
FREE HOSTS make no valid attempt to verify the identity of who they host.... yet they want to be relieved of any and all responsibility for any of the content on their servers... FREE HOSTS are not ISP's and should not be given ISP status.... "oh...we have too many pages to check them all..." "oh...the internet is about anonymity..." Bulls---. Save the "anonymity stuff" for the chat rooms. Too many pages??? Hire more staff or make your signup process tighter. They can eliminate most of the thieves and infringers by doing TWO SIMPLE THINGS. FREE HOSTS should stop accepting accounts from FREE EMAIL addresses.
FREE HOSTS should Email all applicant UN and PW's to valid dial-up account Email address only THAT'S IT...That is all they would have to do... and the majority of the copyright infringement would end there. If an account is caught infringing or spamming you block that Email address, and send a notification to that person's ISP. They are obviously also breaking the ISP's T&C's by uploading through their servers.
Owners of FREE HOSTING Services have a million excuses... why not? Many are making millions of dollars off of traffic generated by all that STOLEN CONTENT on THEIR SERVERS. Oh sure they are "Great Guys" --- nicest folks you ever want to meet... Many do everything they can to gain respectability... They have all the big parties at the shows.. say all the "right things on the boards" but basically they make their money from copyright infringement and shaky business practices.
Even YNOT is now owned by the same company that runs some of the biggest sites that profit from copyright infringement and engage in shaky business practices --- YNOT is supposed to be the bastion of "Ethics. Integrity and Honesty on the Adult Internet" -- (at least that is what it USED to represent.) Now YNOT sleeps in the same bed with SEXSPACES... one of the biggest FREE HOSTS...(and host of copyright infringers), SEXTRACKER.COM ... a major link site that links to thousands of Celebrity Sites, unauthorized "tribute sites" and PASSWORD SITES http://links.sextracker.com/search.amp?q=password&c= ... not to mention that they also run the SexTracker MONEY TREE that promotes some of the most unethical websites on the internet --- look at this list: http://wm.mtree.com/html/advertisers/index-new.html many of these sites (High Society, Obssession, LiveTeens, Cheri to name a few) are the "NO CHARGES WILL BE MADE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD SITES" sites that are ruining the reputation of the adult internet for the honest and ethical sites out there.
Sextracker running and owning YNOT is like a mafia hit man going to mass every Sunday. It looks good to the general public, but the folks in the business know the truth. I challenge the "NEW" YNOT to respond about the ethics of their other divisions, and especially the way they signup clients for their FREE HOSTING. You just can't be ethical on one site, and let the others have no guidelines. Repectability is earned not bought.
Buttlord writes on YNOTnetwork.com: If Sextracker is involved with High Society, and the rest... then there's a conflict of ethical values going on in this very house. I also agree that Sextracker's toplist link listings need a DESPERATE clean-up!! I have stumbled upon PASS SITES, BEASTIALITY, and worst of all... a TOP LIST that had links to KIDDIE PORN! It's a cestpool of insidious activity over there if one would just look a little deeper than the top 100 general sites catagory.
As for free hosting... that aspect of the industry has the potential to be used for so much good, yet by nature, it's vulnerable to the industry's most evil doings. Free hosts are part of the reason the TGP's have such a stranglehold on this industry's traffic, and they are a large part of the reason the "get rich quick" scam artists have proliferated as of late. They are also one of the reasons newbies have it so hard acquiring a decent and consistant traffic base.
YNOT owner Andy Edmond writes on YNOTnetwork.com: As you know, when we started in this business we shot for the goal of being an industry leader - not just with financial resources, technical horsepower, or human resources - we wanted to help transform this business to be a cleaner, more ethical industry with longer term prospects that many of the early leaders (we felt) did not advocate for the rest of us.
As we grew in size, so did our responsibility to the adult internet to be a strong, transformative leader that took care of many of the issues you speak about, by example and community leadership.
With SexSpaces, we have been working with APIC to build a "better mousetrap" that will allow for the massive reduction in stolen content on not just this free host, but all of our partner free hosts as well (PornHotels, ErosVillage, Mr-Cash, etc..). The project and the methodology is ambitious, and we look forward to rolling out the fraud control service by next month across all the free hosts we help run. I hope that in 6 months that all other free host services will follow our lead to help protect the content providers intellectual property rights, and enhance the service for all free hosting adult webmasters and surfers.
In this case with SexSpaces, and with any industry wide challenges presented to us, we take the issues VERY seriously and work towards a creative, clever, innovative solutions that helps out all parties involved in a way that helps to transform the business for the better. So, I just thought you in particular would love to know that SexSpaces is rising to APICs challenge, not merly by adopting some easy little filters, but a whole round of new content control features that will eliminate this problem. Thanks for giving us the chance to put that system into place, it will be rolled out in 4 more short weeks :)
With SexTracker, and the "dirty links" you see on the list... remember SexTracker is a public search engine... it's not a "quality filtered content portal". SexTracker does not have any "quality control features". Just like AltaVista or Google, it reports what it sees. The same reason AltaVista and Google list sites that hit on keywords like "rape little girls", it's totally up to user discretion to determine their scope of ethics by the way they use their search engine. However, I can say that ST likely will get filtered/monitored before too long, cause it bothers me equally.
In regards to YNOT's previous attempt (before our ownership of the site) at "YNOT POLICY GOES OR YOU DO", that is being radically transformed in May when we release the community standards section of YNOT. I can pass you the details of this system via email if you'd like John (and Bill), but the whole idea is to set a suggestive community standard for all the major facets of the adult industry that everyone is allowed to contribute to and ratify.
On the issue of MoneyTree, we are still a VERY YOUNG program. Many of the new changes coming in version 3.0 will address all of the issues that you speak of, which are integral to much of the new facets of that program. MoneyTree version 3.0 will be released this summer along with some other big supporting products and services that also address tangential issues that you didn't bring up.
In summary, John, we clearly recognize our responsibilities to this industry, and are making transformations that involve, literally, thousands of people as quickly as humanly feasible. Our actions over the past speak for ourselves, and I believe that if you look at our successes as closely as our mistakes you will see that our record speaks for us being that transformative leader that when you only look at the things we HAVE NOT done yet might mislead you.
Khan writes on YNOTnetwork.com: I can speak to YNOT's policies with some confidence, however, Sextracker, though owned by the same corporation, is a whole different company. It was announced at the buy-out that YNOT would remain an autonomous entity. You seem to be painting with a wide brush that would imply that the 'sins of the father are equally shared by the sons.' IMO that was an ill-deserved slap at YNOT who has always been a strong supported of content providers. I'm sure you'll recall the strong impact on sites using bootleg content when YNOT voluntarily stopped listing them.
While I too would like to see ALL sites stop listing Celeb sites and others using unlicensed content and ALL sponsors stop paying for traffic coming from such sites, I also know that YNOT has never taken a position of condemnation. Ours has always been more to try and educate others. Like YNOT tries to do, I encourage you and other content providers to help educate top list as to why it's bad for our business AS A WHOLE to list sites using unlicensed content. I encourage you to educate sponsor programs as to why they should stop paying for traffic from those sites. Perhaps point out that without their sponsorships, there would be no incentive to keep running the sites.
Bill, as for your comments, I don't feel they accurately represent the facts. Yes, it's quite possible that program owners listed at YNOT also have programs implying bestiality, but to the best of my knowledge, no program promoting bestiality is listed at YNOT. We have gone through this battle with several and they know they can't list their pseudo-bestiality programs on any page listed from YNOT. Several have gone as far as to post a visible disclaimer that they are not bestiality sites just to maintain a listing at YNOT. If you find a program promoting bestiality from a page linked from YNOT and it doesn't have a 'no-bestiality' disclaimer, please drop us a line because we want to know about it.
YNOT is not nor do I suspect it ever will be perfect. I do feel we have and will continue to take the lead in promoting honest and ethical business practices. We'll continue to try and educate those who haven't caught up yet but we will not be among those that bash others just because we don't approve of them. It's not our style. Never was, never will be.
Beware The Siren Call Of Gerontaphilia
Chaim Amalek writes: Curious in Modesto is dead on the money regarding your aging porn-star friend Lynne. (In my previous, guarded missive to you, I had forgotten that she spent decades doing porn, an industry that has inflicted damage on the delicate minds of countless males.) Yech! Why would you want to have sex with her now? In any event, it is not natural for a man in your position in life to want to have sex with a woman who, having showered her sexual favors on countless other men in decades past, decides at the point of menopause that it is time to do likewise for Luke, but with a strong dose of emotional attachment thrown in. Gerantophilia (what this would be for you) is not normal, Luke. Avoid its siren call!
PS In addition to that Lauren person, why not consider a fling with that accused stalker-chick "Goddess?" At the very least, you could confirm whether any of your readers are purely "XX" instead of merely writing about their xxx work. (Other than NJG, do you know for a fact that any of your contributors is a woman? And no, neither the "transgendered" nor porn hookers count.)
Lynne replies: Now I'm an aging porn star? Chaim, you seem to be an intelligent man, but you should never assume. It makes an ass out of you and me, and I don't take kindly to being made to appear an ass. I was indeed promiscuous as a teenager and, as you point out, that was decades ago. But as to the decades I've spent "doing porn," I've held the following positions: Print model (The L.A. Star, Epic Records, Gallery and Penthouse), writer, graphic artist, editor, production coodinator, exotic dancer (while attending UMass, in between work-study jobs), sales manager, video store manager, print buyer, line producer, officer on the board of the Adult Video Association (unpaid), screenwriter, producer, public relations officer and director.
During my marriage I strayed twice: once with the owner of a major adult video company, the other with the executive director of a non-profit video association. When my husband became terminally ill and we were both unemployed during the summer of 1998, I finally did five hardcore scenes; one with Dave Hardman, two with Tony Everready (a good friend), one with Rod Fontana and one with a new guy. Bruce was impotent due to the prostate cancer for the last two years of his life, and gave me permission to have private sex with two others (I hesitate to call them men), one of whom was, again, Dave Hardman. Bruce actually asked David to serve as his surrogate. I then did a scene for Hustler's Jail Babes. I asked Luke to do the scene with me but, as he was unavailable, I went with a proven big black dick.
I had private casual sex in February one time with XXX, after having had no sex at all (not counting the scene in November for Hustler) since the previous August. It was a mistake, and the first person I apologized to was Luke.
Granted, nine guys (ten counting my husband) in ten years are a lot more partners than most women have in their lifetimes, but I'm hardly a porn star. In porno, ten guys is barely one woman's gang bang!
As to my age -- that's irrelevant. Anyway, my doctor says I have the body of a thirty-five year old. Celibacy and stress are sending me into a premature menopause which is very distressing, but all women go through menopause sooner or later, and it's hardly a disease or a crime. Some women go through menopause in their twenties following surgery. It doesn't make them instantly undesirable.
If I were twelve years younger than Luke it would be okay, but being that he's twelve years younger than me, it's wrong? My late husband was ten years older than me, and he taught me a lot. In exchange, I helped keep him young. It made for a very good trade.
My precious treasure is not between my legs. A cunt is a cunt is a cunt, and every female has one. What I have is between my ears. It's called a "brain," and it's an exceptional one. And it tells me that, having learned from all my sexual experiences, I know how to show a man a much better time now than I did when I was a raw, untutored recruit of fourteen.
I have no sexual favors to shower on Luke, only high quality nurturing and love both emotional and physical. The more we insist that our potential love objects fit nicely into socially acceptable boxes, the less likely we are to find someone who truly loves us. And that, gentlemen, is the whole purpose of having a relationship -- especially one of the egalitarian type. No one gets to pick his size, shape, dick length or birth date, but we can choose to invest in a relationship which meets our emotional needs rather than get stuck with someone who pleases our friends but who could care less about us.
Luke's Wonderful Lynne Adventure
Lynne writes: Yes, love is fun. My instructor has approved a paper on porn which would serve as a book chapter. If this is good, imagine how much fun writing a book together will be!
Curious in Modesto writes Lynne: Lynn - Do the members of your Sociology of Gender class know that you are a former pornographer?
Lynne: Yes, I identified myself on the first day of class as someone who had spent twenty-five years in the adult business, and that my experience had given me some off-the-beaten-path perspectives toward gender roles and gender dysphoria. If they did I would think that your sympathy factor would shrink to less than zero.
Lynne: Most young people today, having grown up with Howard Stern and the Beastie Boys, accept that porn is part of our culture. They may not personally care for it or use it, but know that it is around and are "curious" about the reality of it, rather than condemning it outright.
Curious: Pornography is all about the "wrapping paper."
Lynne: No, it is not. It is about having sex with the lights on. Society presents the image of women as "wrapping paper," and it slops over into porn. Pornography pictures reality: real women do range the gamut from Vivid Girls to tired old hookers who need the money. You choose what you prefer, based on your own personal quirks. There's something for everyone.
Curious: You and your late husband helped build this unrealistic male porn fantasy and now you must live with its consequences.
Lynne: Me, Bruce and Candida Royalle? Bruce and I always championed that porn which encourages real men and women to find each other and have the best sex possible. Watch my movies before you decide -- you'll probably hate them.
Curious: Yes, I am as shallow as a puddle, but please don't criticize me Lynn. I really am your creation.
Lynne: No, you are not. You are a creation of mainstream society, and as such beg to be criticized. I have always been outside mainstream society, especially and deliberately in my role as pornographer. I want people to f--- because it is fun, and society and mainstream religion have a lot invested in not allowing that. I think it is ludicrous that a man wins more Brownie Points for having a hot looking babe on his arm who can't or won't perform once in bed, than a woman who loves him and cares about him.
Curious: Please note that Luke did not respond to my question with regard to your looks and the sexless status of your friendship. His silence speaks volumes. Realistically if you were a 21 year old hottie Luke would've banged you on your husband's casket. The flipside is would you be as hot for Luke if he resembled Al Goldstein or Ron Jeremy? Be honest Lynn!
Lynne: I was very hot for my husband, once I came to appreciate him. He was no Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson, but love made him beautiful. I pay careful attention to my weight and hygiene and the gentlemen you mention do not. Ron Jeremy is a sweetheart, and I would have happily blown him anytime, as long as he showered first. I have always had "the hots" for Al Goldstein, but even though we've crossed paths a few times, I was married and he was in the company of other women. My version of the "hots" includes a man's brain -- I prefer an average looking genius to a great looking bimbo.
Luke happens to be both brilliant and gorgeous, but his beauty will fade with time as his intellect grows and matures. Luke has pictures of me at 18 (when I appeared in Gallery and Penthouse) and at 21 available on his site. I am actually in better shape now than I was then, and I know a lot more about sex. Bruce gave me lots of practice before he became ill. Those of you who are pedophiles can jack off to those, although when I was young, beauty standards were different. Little hippie girls were allowed natural body hair....
Luke: I think Lynne is just terrific the way she is. She has no need of plastic surgery. I am simply not open to casual sex at the moment. Sex without commitment lacks emotional and spiritual depth. I am tired of my life of meeting innocent young Jewish women at synagogue, taking them into the back of my van and deflowering them. All those meaningless blowjobs from pornstars left me feeling hollow inside. They spoiled me from enjoying the non-professional sucks I got from civilian girls, who could rarely carry on for five minutes, let alone with sufficient suction and pace.
Lynne: Luke, when we first met, you discouraged me from expecting casual sex from you. Obviously, I decided our friendship was valuable and worth continuing whether it had a sexual component or not. Now, a year later, we have a demonstrated commitment of some kind to one another, though we've put no label on it. Our relationship is obviously a lot deeper than "casual." We both derive emotional sustenance from it. I don't know what you mean by "spiritual depth." I hope someday you will share this with me. What I do know, thanks to your family tendency to expose its intimate secrets to the world, is that you've not yet had a complete (physical, emotional spiritual) long-term relationship with any woman.
Our current relationship meets my current needs -- I look forward to seeing how it develops over the coming year. That we have become as close as we have is already more than I could ever have anticipated or desired. I respect you enough to allow you to heal and grow in your own direction, at your own pace, without any expectations. Where we go from here only continues this wonderful adventure.
NJG Responds To Fred
Nice Jewish Girl writes: Dear Luke:
Here is my response to Fred, since he seemed to want my input on this issue:
"On another note, I noticed a couple of S&M tapes starring Mr. Decker (a favorite of Nice Jewish Girl) and Mia Smiles (Mr. Decker's significant other, I believe, and a real cutie). Since NJG is an ardent feminist, is she willing to cut Mr. Decker a special dispensation for such patriarchical behavior?"
My response: Well I'm not sure what you are getting at here Fred, but let me see if I can paraphrase what I believe you mean. Since John Decker is my favorite star, because he does S/M tapes do I find it patriarchal, and being a feminist do I find it offensive? Hmmmm, good question. First off, he is working and doing a job and being paid for it, so I have no qualms about what he is doing for a living. How abusive was the s/m? Was he sticking her head in a toilet and doing really degrading things to her, or did there seem to be an air of mutuality about it? Since they were involved IRL I think maybe she consented to whatever he was doing, also, this was marketed to a select audience, the S/M audience, not to the mainstream audience and I think therein lies a difference. These tapes were labeled s/m I assume, because you said so in your first sentence to me.
"Or does NJG secretly desire to be tied up and caned by Mr. Decker as well?"
LOL no! S/M/B/D does not appeal to me in the LEAST!
"Or is she horrified by such things? Inquiring minds want to know."
Well, it is not *my* cup of tea, however, there are many people who are really into this lifestyle and there are societies (aka Janus, etc.) that give parties for it. Truthfully, I find it a bit of a *snicker*.
"(My animal rights friends are horrified--they heard that Decker was using a real leather whip, and that is not ethical insofar as the poor cow is concerned. Decker should have been using synthetic leather. My orthodox friends are not so much worried about whether the leather was real or synthetic, but if it was real leather, they want to make sure that the cow was slaughtered by a Shochot. L--do you have any insight into whether Bizarre Video follows these strictures?)"
Well you know, it would be better if they didn't use leather. I love animals a lot. But I wear leather shoes and leather ballet slippers (can't help it, I tried the others and I hate the cotton ones), and it's really hard to find shoes I like that aren't leather. Leather pants, shirts, etc. are IMO a major fashion faux pas, and severely out of style. Maybe he didn't have access to a non-leather whip on the set? You're right though, they should be more considerate of animals.
Fred writes: NJG was nice enough to reply to my queries, but I fear she left me with more questions. If you would be so kind as to pass these on, I would be forever in your debt, Mr. Ford.
Ms. NJG asks: "Was he sticking her head in a toilet and doing really degrading things to her, or did there seem to be an air of mutuality about it?"
I didn't see the video, but the pictures on the box left me to conclude a) it wasn't mutual (he was whipping her, and not vice versa), but b) it didn't look like anybody's head was in a toilet. Where does that leave us on the feminist offensiveness scale?
The next sentence was "since they were involved IRL,..." What is IRL? (Pardon my illiteracy.)
You continue, "also, this was marketed to a select audience, the S/M audience, not to the mainstream audience and I think therein lies a difference." What difference is this? If there were a separate corner of the video store marked "sicko wierdo stuff" where the Max Hardcore and Rocco Siffredi tapes were marketed, would that elevante Max Hardcore and Rocco Siffredi into the status of "OK"? Or do you object to the fact that fairly extreme stuff is making its way into the main stream, and if the extreme stuff stayed in its little corner, would you conclude that it was therefore OK?
You refer to the fact that for Mr. Decker, it was probably just a job. Query--suppose it wasn't just a job, and that he was into it. .Would that alter your opinion in any way?
BTW, I admire your stand vis-a-vis synthetic vs. leather whips, but I am very upset that you wear leather shoes. Tsk Tsk. Pardon the Socratic questioning to one of Luke's Platonic friends. (If I were any wittier, there would probably be a good pun I could work in with the word Aristotle. Oh well.)
Laura writes: To Hymie and Ogman I will not shut the f--- up, I will continue speaking my mind whether the right wing approves or not. And furthermore I will not apologize for my liberal secular views. Frankly I'm sick of Luke F-rd and the other right wing garbage on this site. Oh and furthermore Ogman I can guarantee you my intellect is way above yours and the other raincoaters who post on this site most of whom are misogynists and actually despise the women in the porn industry.
Ogman writes to Laura: yeah, well... my daddy can beat up your daddy. bet you've got a bigger dick than me, too, huh? that's why i said something, right?
i'm not a raincoater and if your intellect is comparable, then - maybe - if you read a book one day, you'll stumble into triple digits. as for me being a mysoginist, it figures a girl would say that! seriously, that's just proof of what i said: you are incapable of arguing your point without attacking and labeling your opposition and that is so typical of someone with your political agenda. i'm from an area in which porn is big business and i have had dealings with several (too many) pornlets and i have to admit that aside from a very few (i have met some, so they are out there), i pretty much do not like those people at all. i'm not sorry for that; there are several reasons for it but i'm not apologetic in the least.
and i also have to admit that the guys from that industry are far more (generally) grounded than their counterparts, so... porn is not an "artistic" industry; it's a money-making business that caters to the lowest common denominator. if they made better porn i might care a little more but most of the girls involved would still be so very jerry (springer). IMO, why watch sex when you can have it?; ergo, porn is useful only for when i do not have sex available and the rest of my being will not accept that as a viable reason for not having it (spanking). it's really not that big of a deal to me but the idea that some people argue about it as a form of artistic expression is, simply because one could then argue that movies like "MONDO DEATH" and s--- like that is art, too (both those compilations and porn tapes generally switch from one extreme scene to the next with little or no segue and no matter how much bulls--- voice-over narrative they include, no matter how much someone screams and cries that they sucked dick with real passion and meaning, it is no more f---ing "educational" to see someone die than to see someone fake an orgasm and if it were, these kinds of things would be produced by NPOs and not individuals/corporations).
basically, i'll have sex with those bitches that read tarot cards over the phone but that doesn't mean i think they're psychics; i'll have sex with lawyers and their assistants but that doesn't make me think of them as human; i'll watch porn and f--- around with those chicks but it doesn't mean that i approve of that business or their lifestyles. f--- it - maybe i am a mysoginist but my daddy will kick your daddy's ass all over the front yard! yeah!
Luke writes: Dear Laura:
Would you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me? Everything that I have is yours. Please come live in Casa Ford and be the mother of my children.
Sincerely,
Luke
Marcus Killus Casts Out False Prophet Chaim Amalek
Marcus Killus writes: If Chaim is indeed a Jew he has become all to comfortable in his white skin (status) in America .Having come from a tribe that in the middle of the last century was effectively exterminated from the European life. An act in which all European nations were complicit including the catholic church and the state department. His white European brothers and sisters used a criterion similar to the ol south one drop of blood theory to excise the Jew from the body of Europe with no regard to the fairness of complexion or the bluest eye.
I find it quite bizarre that some Jews in America have become the front line disseminators of anti black propaganda and a far more clever lot than the klan.So you speak for ‘white men “ with concern over white women copulating with black men.Hey you demonic, backwards twisted @#$%$%^@# this white male audience your preaching the gospel of segregation to wants the very finest ,most pristine of the women of their race for a most bestial defilement .we've all seen pictures of groups of men Jew & gentile alike with beautiful white females with the males defecating in there faces,with forearms almost to the elbow up there asses,pissed on, beat down, and spat upon.
On occasion they want to see someone like Lexington Steel bang some ass too. from what ive read and seen on the web most black male porn boys don't do that level of defilement Sean Michaels comes to mind. Jake Steed the exception who was nurtured by the Zane, Ed Max Hardcore set .
Look Hyme, in keeping it real, this is the white male sex trade. Everybody gets f---ed!!!! Stop using this as a forum for your racist venom,based in jealousy cuz Black Males can cop for free the shiksha ass that you pay for at your west side brothel. (i even know the address) And if you think for a minute that you’ll be able to hide behind ]pale skin and jewfro in an America that has adopted your nouveau exterminationist racism,your blind. You should grasp your history, like in Spain at the fall of the Moors when Jews who thought like you believed they had a ticket to ride after selling out to castile. Huh, who knows, maybe the Moor will sell you out this time.
And lukey you too are beginning to sicken me, but you have an excuse. You don't know any better and believe one race/culture to be superior.(Aussie/Southafricanboer brain washing) Didn't they tell you in yeshiva that The Chosen is a Falasha? The Bible mentions Ethiopia 14 times it does not mention Poland once.lol lol lol. again indulging lofty discourse far beyond my letters, TO CAST OUT FALSE PROPHETS,WITH THE STARK FIST OF REMOVAL!!!!!!
Responsa to the Secular Jews and Goyim
Chaim Amalek writes: 1. Lynne seems to be a nice person, in her own skin. But she gives away the argument when she writes: "Luke, As to my age -- that's irrelevant. . . . If I were twelve years younger than Luke it would be okay, but being that he's twelve years younger than me, it's wrong? My late husband was ten years older than me . . . I helped keep him young." Yes, you did. Does not Luke deserve the same?
2. Regarding Lauren, she is yours, Luke!
3. Several readers have attacked me as racist because I question the social utility of permitting black men to fornicate with white women. Briefly, I noted that such acts (which are not and will not be "balanced" by similar acts between white men and black women) are harmful because they inflame white sensibilities, which in the long run are ignored at great peril, lead to a loss of biodiversity, and harm the black woman. In all the rebuttals I have seen, self-centered white women like Laura express their contempt for the concerns of the white man. But NEVER do they address the effects of miscegenation on the marital prospects of the black woman. Why is that - is she not as precious as the white woman or the black man? Apparently not, in the eyes of such porno-judaic liberals as Lauren.
As for you, my brother Marcus, I suggest you open your eyes. Miscegenation ultimately "benefits" very, very few and hurts tens of millions more. Next time you are in New York City, venture up to the Marcus Garvey Bookstore, and purchase copies of two books by the bold blackwoman, Sheherazad Ali: "The Blackman's Guide to Understanding the Blackwoman", and "The Blackwoman's Guide to Understanding the Blackman." Each is a mind-opening compendium of truths the secular jews and other liberals do not want the blackman to know. (Amazon carries "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" and all manner of books on pornography and rock music, but neither of these books!)
As for the especially degenerate nature of some of white porn today, this would not be permitted in a society that did not permit miscegenation (there sure was less of this sort of filth a few decades back), and your liberal masters know it. They also know that they would quickly lose power over us if black and white people each began to develop a true racial consciousness about their current position in America.
Finally, yes I am a jew, not a white man. I not only was born a jew, was educated as a jew, and think like a (real) jew, I even look like a jew: short (I stand about 5'7" on a good day), coarse black hair, stooped, generous nose, hairy palms (with which I eat bagels purchased at H&H), dark suit, black hat, etc. No one will ever mistake me for an "Aryan" (as that term has been misappropriated), and for that reason, only in New York City, parts of Brooklyn, and the Museum of Tolerance in West Los Angeles can I scurry about without the self-conscious fear that people are staring at me. And yet thanks to my status as an outsider, I cannot help but be aware of how others perceive the world we both live in, and witness for myself the harmful effects that accrue every time some black celebrity, be it an O.J. Simpson, a Brian Gumball, or a Montel Williams is seen to be treating white women like s---. Both white and black would be better off if, as the bible suggests, each kept to his own kind.
Chaim Amalek
PS By the way - Chaim, a right-winger? I think not. Why, in my youth I was a member of the Socialist International, the Industrial Workers of the World, and later the International Caucus of Labor Committees. Even today, I live on the Upper West Side as an expression of my politics.
PPS Just where is that brothel you said I go to, and do any black/jewish/hispanic/kiwi women work there? And most importantly, does it have a mikvah?
Goddess writes: Tell Chaim that if you had made an offer for an affair
before this whole sordid Mike South thing, I might have considered
it. As it stands, the Southern one has soured me on the idea of EVER
having any kind of an intimate relationship with a guy involved in
porn. Well, EXCEPT for your sexy "comrade in arms," of course [Gene

one of the things I do best.* Think about it
