Sky Update

Shanefan writes: Hey Luke-I just found out former Vivid girl SKY just shot a new feature for Shanes World!! That's right, Sky has come HOME!! She just shot Shanes World 25:Scavenger Hunt and from the pics on the Shanes World site, it looks pretty killer! Tasha Hunter, Billy Glide, and that new SW girl Jesse everybody has been raving about (well, me and Rog from Rog Reviews rave about her!) are on board too and it looks like it's going to be cool.

There's 2 teams that look for Scavenger Hunt items throughout L.A....like, they have to find 2 guys to give hand-jobs to, they had to make a chili dog out of a guys package....fun and silly stuff like that. There appears to be some back-seat bonking in a Limo too. The IMPORTANT thing is, Sky is BACK!! I know Sky fans missed her and Shane World people did too so look out for the new video.

Bud Lee vs Becky Carols

Thom Burr writes on RAME: Bud Lee actually went through the trouble of writing to Luke F-rd just to denounce our dear friend and colleague Becky Carols...And Luke posted Lee's little nastygram as a prominent item! (As of right now, it's still up there on his main page.) Becky, you must be SO PROUD! There ought to be some kind of RAME commendation or battle campaign ribbon to award you for service so far and above the call of duty! I've never seen the "Have you stopped beating your wife? " trick work so magnificently in my life...

Torris: that was kind of tame. But I loved the write in about what a tough hombre that Kid Vegas guy is even if he did cry like a little girl to the cops when tony Everready gave him a beatdown

Becky Carols writes on RAME: I was shocked the fat bastard responded. Usually, woman-beating scumbags run and hide like roaches when the heat is on. I responded to his reply but it has yet to show up. Lazy-ass Luke is letting that idiot Chayem yap a bunch of religious BS and clog the site. I told fake Jew Luke to leave the holy s--- out and only report on porn but as usual, he doesn't listen. Smut-makers aren't that bright so topics on that site should include: How to actually get a girl off; How to properly put on makeup so one doesn't look like a gutter trash whore; How to hire guys who actually know how to f--- and don't need Viagra, etc.

>And Luke posted > Lee's little nastygram as a prominent item! (As of right now, it's still > up there on his main page.)

Notice how that pile of panty waste completely avoids the abuse issue?

> Becky, you must be SO PROUD! There ought to be some kind of RAME > commendation or battle campaign ribbon to award you for service so far > and above the call of duty!

Well, I'm not looking for any awards. Ever since I got here, I've been accused of being a troll. Recently, one of the mods thought I was pure evil. I just wanted to prove that I'm really not that sinister. 8^) I would like to thank RAME for rejecting my "Losers in Porn" post for being off-topic?! It's a good thing that crap about Carmen Electra isn't. I knew Luke would put it up. Even Rog emailed me and said it was very entertaining. OTOH, Dave Cummings had a different view. 8^)

> I've never seen the "Have you stopped beating your wife? " trick work so > magnificently in my life... >

No trick, Bud Lee is a life-long woman-beater. Just ask his ex-wife Hyapatia. She wants to completely forget about her porn past. Unfortunately, she's got rugrats with the dirtbag so her nightmare continues. My goal is to get that fat turd heap blackballed from the jizz biz. Any smut outfit that hires him should be boycotted.

Becky Carols replies to Bud Lee: "There's no way someone as simple-minded as Luke could ever write a post like "Losers in Porn". Bud, I noticed you didn't mention anything about being a low-life woman beater. Why? Because it's true. I've talked to Hyapatia. She should have put a bullet in your head the first time you hit her. You're just a fat, hairy piece of s---. Yes, I've met you and thought it was Ron Jeremy. Let me guess, your worthless father beat your mother when he couldn't get it up? Then he bitch-slapped you when you ate everything in the fridge? I know you hate blacks so let's see you take a swing at Mr. Marcus or Lex Steel. Afterwards, I'll just piss on you grave."

Jill Kelly replies to Becky Carols who listed her as the #13 biggest loser in porn: "First, let me thank you for your vote of confidence in selecting me Number thirteen, but my career will not be complete until I can at least match the accomplishments of your number five selection (My Friend) Asia Carrerra. You have my word that I will continue to strive work to reach this goal and to please you important people. sincerely, your #13 Jill Kelly"

Syren Smiles Meets Mr Marcus

Porn star Syren Smiles writes: Hello Luke! I'm new to the business but make it a point to visit your site fairly regularly. I attended the VSDA show myself, and had the pleasure of kissing Mr. Marcus hello more than once.

I have worked with Marcus on several occasions, and find him to be a compassionate, sexy, polite, and an extremely wonderful person. I was sorry to read the terrible things that were said about him on your site. Frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of women in this industry f---ing black guys like it's some kind of favor or special talent. "So-and-so is doing their first IR with Mr. Marcus? She better watch out - he's a player" ... the reality is that us girls are lucky to work with boys with bodies and cox as fantastic as Marcus' and guys like Lex, and almost surprisingly, they're both endowed with charm as well. It's impossible for me to thnk of a single reason a girl wouldn't want to shoot with Marcus: unless she hates a great pussy licking and a mind-rending f---!

In short, MARCUS KICKS ASS (and knows how to f--- it!) and any woman considering getting laid in print/on film should work with him - and if he has an ego ( of which I have seen no evidence)- WHO CARES? So does everyone else in this business! At least Marcus has something to base it on!!!

Mark Webb, husband to porn star Keri Windsor, writes: With regards to your post, both Keri and I consider Marcus a friend and just want to set the record straight. While I had conversations with Mr. Marcus this weekend at VSDA, our conversations were limited to the garbage and racism that had been posted on his site in the previous weeks some of his members. I don't think that any of our conversations included Keri doing her first boy/girl with Marcus or her first interracial with Marcus. We did discuss that some of the posts on his site had been from some of his fans that wanted to see Marcus & Keri work together, but that was about the extent of it. The whole B/G issue is very much up in the air right now as she is in the process of making some career moves related to the adult industry. Keri will make any and all decisions on that matter when the time comes and with the exception of a quick "hello" this weekend to Marcus as we went to the AIM fundraiser and on the floor of the show, I don't know if Keri & Marcus had any discussions at all.

John writes: Luke, check out Keri's Windsor's husband posting on Mr. Marcus's site about the rumors of his wife doing guys, and a nice post on her husbands message. I really think she wears the pants in that family, he is in for a shock when she is getting slammed, feel sorry for their kid she talks about on her site, how do you explain that to junior, "Well son, you need to ask you mommy why she wants the brothas to slam her ass while I watch, I think she calls it a career move".

Noah writes: Extreme Championship Wrestling had a t.v. taping last week and the Blue Meanie and girlfriend Jasime St. Clair showed up. Reportedly one of Jasmine's tits popped out of her outfit. That will be censored but you can watch the action on TNN Friday 8 p.m. Eastern/ 7 Central. Michael J. Cox was interviewed by Howard Stern a couple months ago. Read at this site to find more.

Luke In The Holy Land

Dateline: Eilat, Israel. Thursday 7PM.

Dear Diary, My trip to Israel has given me the moral courage to make a fundamental change to l-keford.com. Although I report on the porn world I can no longer willingly be an accomplice to this evil industry by publishing exploitative nude photos of these poor, misguided women. I am confident that I can maintain my coveted position as the 6,133th most visited site on the web with my insightful reporting and commentary and NO PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOS!

Elvis Presley writes: I would like to answer those doubting Thomas' who imply that Luke is not on a spiritual adventure searching for truth and enlightenment. I'm telling ya now that there have been several Luke sightings in such holy places as Athens Georgia, Jerusalem Mississippi, Isaiah Louisiana and other towns and villages throughout the South. Why my operatives have even found protein bar wrappers in Paris Texas. Living proof that pilgrim Luke is just about everywhere. While I have your attention will someone tell me what in tarnation happened to pop music critic JD Considine? I haven't read a sentence from him in Luke's column since he had a verbal run in with that Amalek fella. Not that I care so much but Considine left the building without reviewing my new boxed compilation of Jegroe Spirituals. My people worked long and hard to put this set together. All the standards are there sung in my inimitable style...My Yiddisha Probation Officer, Closer to Execution With Thee, He's Got The 9mm in his Hands, and even a rendition of The Ho's Prayer sung in Jegroe...I mean Hebrew. So Ya'All go on and getcha a copy now. Thank You Very Much.......Elvis Presley.

Chaim Amalek writes: What follows are (for me) among the most difficult questions in/about Judaism. The Oral Law - where do you stand on this? Do you believe, as the orthodox do, that what they call the oral law (the pronouncements of the rabenim on everything from intermarriage to shatness to the relaxation of the prohibition on usery) is really the literal will of god, dictated to Moses on Mt. Sinai, but rather inconveniently not committed to parchment until many centuries later? What is the force of oral law in your mind?

Israel - Given all that you know and have seen, what are Israel's prospects for surviving as a "jewish" state for the next 100 years?

Luke: I believe to be true in all areas of life what disinterested scholars hold to be true, i.e., what can be empirically argued to be true. Secular scholarship, for instance, holds that the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) is a post-Mosaic composite work and that the Oral Law (Mishna and Talmud) chiefly dates from 2000 years ago, with some bits dating back further. This runs against the traditional Christian and Jewish view that the Torah goes back 3200 years to Moses.

But secular scholarship says nothing about whether or not God is in the Torah or Oral Law. I believe that God is in the Torah in a way that he is not in any other document. And I sense the presence of the divine in the Oral Law but believe that it is heavily filtered by human hands.

I make dramatic separations in my own life between what is empirically true and what unprovable faith attitudes are useful to take. I take an attitude towards the Torah and the sacred texts of the Jewish tradition that they are divine and worthy of reverence. I allow them to shape my life.

Will Israel survive as a Jewish state? Great question.

The only thing that makes Israel Jewish, or any Jew Jewish, is Judaism. It is the only thing that all Jews share in common. Presently, only 20% of Israelis are orthodox and another 20% are Jewishly traditional in their lifestyle. The rest are secular. Israel has only a small presence of Conservative and Reform Judaism, which adapt the tradition to the exigencies of modern life.

Most Jews, including Israelis, will never become Orthodox. The Jewish problem around the world is that non-orthodox Jews are rapidly assimilating and marrying non-Jews. There's little Jewish passion and devotion outside orthodoxy. The Zionist dream which motivated the founders of Israel is fading among the modern Israeli generation, who simply want Israel to be a nation like other nations, rather than as a morally model nation, "a light unto the nations" to quote Isaiah.

The secular and the religious in Israel seem to hate each other and there's much talk about the two sides fighting it out in the next ten years. I have no answers to what will happen except that I am sure that only those Jews who live Judaism in some form will perpetuate themselves and shape Israel and Jewish life. The rest will assimilate. Secular Jewish culture looks rich from the outside but it does not hold up over the generations.

I've been deeply moved by my two weeks in the Holy Land. I want to move to Jerusalem and enter a yeshiva (Jewish Talmudic academy) to study Hebrew and sacred text. This is the only land where one can lead a fully Jewish life, and make the Torah live. Jewish Law was made to live in the land of Israel. On each of the three major festivals (Passover, Shuvuot and Succoth) we Jews are commanded to ascend to Jerusalem (it is 2800 feet high) to celebrate them. Which, incidentally, is another example of Judaism's elite nature. Obviously Jerusalem can only handle a limited number of pilgrims. I wish Judaism offered a wider portal to those seeking a religion but its requirements inherently restrict Judaism to a tiny disciplined and intelligent few.

Here are some of the highlights of my trip.

Five days before we left, I came down with a nasty cold. I spent most of my time in bed before boarding our El Al plane Saturday night, July 1st, and popping Tylenol PM. But I could not sleep a wink.

It was exciting to fly to Israel in the company of people I knew tangentially from various singles trips. Most people managed to sleep a few hours but not me. I am a nervous person and a light sleeper. I find it exceedingly difficult to sleep in the same bed as another person.

I sit next to a girl who's brother became Orthodox. She never will because of the "period thing." Jewish Law demands that husband and wife do not have sex while the wife is menstruating (and for a week after). They should not even touch. I think this makes sense. It is a good way to retain excitement. In most of my relationships, I've grown bored with the sex after a few weeks.

This girl however sees no attraction in the Law. She wants to cuddle with her hubby every night. She looks around our group for a woman who'll marry me and do the "period thing." She finds one and excitingly tries to introduce me.

We fly nonstop to Tel Aviv and arrive 14 hours later, at 10PM Sunday Tel Aviv time. We check into the David Intercontinental hotel. I go immediately to bed. Most everyone else hits the discos by the Tel Aviv beach.

I get a few hours sleep and shakily join my tour group from Los Angeles on a bus to Jaffa, a city next to Tel Aviv which features in the Jonah and the Whale story in the Bible. Our group consists of 34 women and 13 guys, an ideal ratio. I'd do about half the women if I saw no likelihood of awkward complications.

Over the next few days, several of my male acquaintances on the trip score but it leads to those awkward complications, with their women feeling possessive and easily hurt.

Sex is the primary topic among our group, more discussed by the men then the women. Next most discussed topic - the wonders of Israel. Most of our group are here for the first time. I was in Israel once before - at age four. I remember climbing the Mount of Olives and a few other Christian highlights - such as Bethlehem and Nazareth. I graduated from diapers in Israel.

My group visits Beit Reuven Rubin, home of the famous painter. We walk via Bialik and Allenby Street, viewing the architecture of the 1920s. We stop by the monument dedicated tot he city's founders on Rothschild Avenue. Then we go to the Shalom Tower and view the mosaic wall by the late Nachum gutman, depicting Tel Aviv's history.

Many of the guys on the bus want a beautiful Barbie-looking babe who boasts enhanced breasts. We talk about her boob job. Most people evidence a need to down her on some point, so they seize on this to bring her down to earth. Otherwise she's too beautiful and unattainable.

Our group is largely secular. I'm probably the most religious person on the tour, among the approximately 600 Jewish singles on the trip. There are large groups of around 150 persons from San Francisco, Detroit and Chicago, as well as smaller groups from Miami and Dallas. Most of us spend most of our time on our city bus. LA is bus nine, for instance. We all have name tags but most people stop wearing them after a few days.

The San Francisco group appears the most bonded. They got together several times before the trip. Chicago, Detroit and Miami also bond better than us. Our group never bonds. It is rather a collection of individuals and small cliques. We met a couple of times before the trip, once for an informational meeting and once for a Friday night Shabbat dinner.

We (LA) have a good group of people (though only one-third as many participants as Chicago and Detroit, who have smaller Jewish populations). Nobody is overly obnoxious and nobody drags us down. We get along. Our two professional leaders from the Los Angeles Jewish Federation are well liked but our Israeli guide is obnoxious and self possessed. She shoves down our throats the information that her leftist secular ideology demands. She's not open to questions and is overall a real downer when compared to some of the other wonderful guides that other buses had. She treats us like second graders and we rebel accordingly.

Our bus hates our guide and she hates us. At the end of the trip, all the other buses collect tips for their guides but we don't.

Most participants on the Jewish Singles Mission arrive in Israel late Monday afternoon. All 600 of us gather at a Tel Aviv beach Monday night, July 2nd, for dinner and dancing. I meet several attractive, accomplished (two with MBAs from prestigious universities) and intelligent Jewish women from San Francisco. As usual, I feel outclassed by many of the females I meet.

Lisa from Detroit is an outgoing bodybuilder and therapist who gives love and affection to most everyone she meets, including a blind guy from Detroit.

To pounding rock music, we dance in the ankle-deep warm Mediterranean ocean. I regret wearing shoes, socks and long pants. The temperature is in the 80s and humid.

We spend Tuesday morning listening to lectures. Former Prime Minister Shimon Peres gets a huge welcome, with hundreds of flash bulbs going off. Most everyone has brought a camera except me. I just want to absorb Israel rather than record it. And I did not want to risk losing my $700 digital camera.

Peres gives a leftist rant about our brave new world which will no longer be governed by borders and traditional boundaries. Technology has supposedly changed all that. But the worst is yet to come.

Tel Aviv is Jewish LA's sister city and we have to endure hours of talks about a Tel Aviv domestic violence shelter funded by our donations. We get three lectures by social workers, which basically repeat themselves, and a brief tour of the facility. The facility director claims that the rates of domestic violence are just as high among the religious, which I doubt. If it were true, I would not live Judaism. If Judaism does not make people better, I see no reason for it. Perpetuating Jews for no higher reason does not move me.

Then we go to a Tel Aviv theater and watch shorts of Israeli movies. I find them depressing, for they stress the same transgressive and revolting themes that dominate Hollywood. I tell the presenter, who works for the Israeli film board which subsidizes these movies, that it seems like these Israeli movie makers are trying to be like Hollywood rather than paint their own unique vision. My comment is highly unpopular with both the group and the Israelis, who vehemently insist on the uniqueness of the Israeli movie vision. They talk about pacing and techniques while my soul is troubled by the nihilism of the content. It reminds me of the Cincinatti curator who spoke about Robert Maplethorpe's work. Yes it was art. Why? Because of the composition and lighting. Never mind about the content - men urinating into each other's mouths, etc...

Tuesday night I meet a darkly attractive Israeli woman who emailed me after the Maariv profile. We have drinks on the town with a male friend of hers from work, possibly a boyfriend.

Young Israeli women, including my date, tend to have thighs half the size of their American counterparts and appear in much better shape (largely due to their two years of compulsory service in the Israeli Defence Force). Many of the Jewish women in their 30s on the trip are already beginning to look like nose tackles.

Israelis have a harsh and unattractive accent and manner.

Pimp writes: Glad you are enjoying your trip and getting some spiritual nourishment. Israeli women are H O T !!! Tho that harsh accent does take some getting used to huh? : )

Lord Peter Luther Christian writes: Dear Luke: I and the others in my prayer circle sense that an impending sharp change to your spiritual being is imminent, one that will profoundly alter the course of your life. Could it be that you have found a place for Jesus in your life? As you must know from your travels in the Levant, you would not be the first jew to feel the power and love of Christ! We pray that it is so.

Greg: I guess this is a no-go for your next book's research - would have been a good idea if it was allowed.

From the 7/12/00 Wall Street Journal SEX AND TAXES: A man deducted cash payments to Nevada prostitutes as research for a book he was writing. The Tax Court said no, calling the deductions "so personal in nature as to preclude their deductibility." A federal appeals court recently affirmed the Tax Court's decision.

Chaim Amalek writes: OK you bigot - what is so terrible about "men urinating into each other's mouths, etc..." that you have to point to it? Did not God above create Man in His Image? Does not Man make weewee and does not Man have a Mouth?

Regarding Israeli women, you nailed it. Military service prevents them from porking out, and it occurs at exactly the moment in life when most women who end up fat start their trajectory in that direction, when they are 18 - 20 years old. If american jews were smart, they would direct ALL of their daughters to service with the armed forces of the United States, so that they better appeal to the Jewish men they are destined to serve. Otherwise, there are an awful lot of nice looking shiksas out there for important Jewish men like you and me to pick from. PS Where can I buy them Jegro Spiritual tunes?

So you want to join a yeshiva? Let's face it, if you were put into a Satmar or haredi yeshiva, you would become a flaming atheist for Christ inside of two months. Are there any non-crazy yeshivas in Israel, or are they all peopled by men who dream of living in 19th century Polish Shtetles?

Other things to consider. If you go there, how the hell will you be able to continue your life's work in porn? I realize that you are pretty good at compartmentalizing your life, but this would be a stretch even for you. Your entire flock of Hustler employees, stripper-whores and web masters would be cut adrift, vulnerable to the blandishments of god knows what that might come to take your place. Are you willing to give Satan such an opportunity?

On the other hand, how would you support yourself in Israel? Serious questions for serious times.

Luke Gets Mail

Rob Spallone says: "EVERYBODY SHOULD LEAVE KID VEGAS ALONE ...because now I have a problem with the little bitch , and i WILL run into him.Him and his "lethal" hands and his "bad-ass " additude ...i guess we will see how " bad " he is.I am gonna stand by and laugh while the female of my choice kicks the s--- out of him."

Gary, hubby of porn star DynaMite writes: To Helpful Warning: While I appreciate the tip I think I'll take my chances with the KId should he decide to be stubborn. All it takes is a simple apology for directing comments in Dyna's direction on unfounded statements printed on this website. A real man would do this and be done with it. In reference to my relationship with my wife I've heard it all before so it's the sticks and stones theory for me there. Dyna does the movie's because she truly enjoys the sex and has found a safe haven to explore and live her fantasies. the day she doesn't have fun anymore is the day she'll be done with it. While most could never understand. We're closer than so called monogamous couples because we don't lie and cheat. our relationship is an honest one. We share all our, wants, needs, desires with one another. our sex life is great but its the time we share. The trust we feel, and our mutual desire to make the others dreams come true that set us apart. You'd have a hard time finding two happier more complete people in any lifestyle. No one has to understand it but us and we're both grateful for that. JP Gary & DynaMite

Ed: how many tit jobs has Lovette had? After watching her for a few years, her tits keep gettin' bigger and bigger.

Cecil writes: Do you know why Bob Guccione hates his son? Does organized crime in Europe play the same role in the control over porn that it plays in the United States? With respect to Al - have heart. A new form of socialism is arising in the West, one that will reapportion social as well as economic goods. Class enemies (those who fail to put out) will be dealt with harshly.

Pimp writes: Long time no talk Luke. Bout the same time you went to Australia I sorta faded out of the Net porn biz. Two years of 14 hour days cranking out mind numbing 'click here for cum slurpin shaved teens' pages finally burnt me out. How have you been? The psychodrama of your trip home was great reading :)

Things are very quiet from what I gather in the Net porn wars. The anticipated shakeout caused by the new rules and regs instituted at VISA and MC hasn't developed......yet. I'm seeing posts on several boards though lately about missed payments from Epoch, the second largest third party credit card processor in the business. They've re-invented themselves a few times already so who knows if they are finally going down for the count. The most disturbing thing I've seen recently is a Washington Post article on Seth Warsharsky, once the wonderkid of Net porn, and his IEG empire. The Feds are hot on his ass with his former employees including his CFO squealing away like pigs in s---. In the article some government investigator told the reporter that going after cases of Net fraud is almost futile and then gave a laundry list of reasons why including the victims being spread out all over the planet. I could hear the sounds of the more larcenous adult webmasters tapdancining on their laptops from Norway to Brazil. 90% of webmasters will take that investigator's statements as a nod of approval to keep on doing what they're doing.

Chaim: I am not quite sure what a "bukkake" is, although I am damn sure that I have never seen one and (assuming it is not some sort of pastry, like an eclaire) never want to, either. Second, I have never heard of this nicole sheridan person. (Is she one of those dumb whores who has sex for not much money on video?) third, I have never heard of jeff george, either. The more important questions are these: Has Nicole Sheridan heard of Chaim Amalek, and is she prepared to serve him? Is Jeff George willing to be my goon? What can be done to slim down the thighs of the American Jewess?

Lynne writes: NJG is making me nuts with her desire to change my life through her "medical" knowledge. She is so miserable and sad, and feels so unhealthy, and tries one thing after another, and all of them work for two minutes or two days.... Even when they counteract the reality of science.....it is sad, because I say, no, I feel fine, and she would look for some way to make me feel worse and say that it is normal to feel awful and have no energy and be depressed but that this tea or that herb will help.... That if I disbelieve her I am disrespecting her, because somehow she should be believed over everyone. Yet she seems to enjoy her poor health!

Fish does not make one depressed, caffeine (in moderation) does not make one depressed, herbs and homeopathy et al are placebos. You do not have CFS or any other debilitating physical illness, and if you did, I would cure it for you, but you would be without your favorite excuse for depression ....

People "feel like s---" because the world treats them like s---...because it is a cold, cruel, uncaring place. No amount of supplements can change one's physiology...most "supplements" do not contain the chemicals they claim to....like bad porn.... Companies sell pressed corn starch and milk sugar for large profit margins with no FDA oversight and laugh all the way to their offshore Bahamian bank accounts.

We are so desperate for control over our lives....we demonize real drugs, lose faith in God, and look for miracles in a cruel, lonely world. Vitamins are unnecessary for a person with a healthy diet, but they can be purchased, whereas hugs, which are essential, must be done without. We delude ourselves that we are helping ourselves by spending money on promises and, when we don't feel any better, search for a new placebo, a new miracle. And when that fails to cure.... I have been through tough times last year, far more than what you or NJG have, and I am doing fine. I had something far more potent than any "supplement" and far more tangible than any deity.

Axle: Lynne seriously underestimates the ease with which an abortion can be obtained and then blames this on the fact that some people have 'demonized' the procedure. Would she REALLY want to live in a world where nobody questions the ethics of a woman destroying 'her' fetus for the sake of maintaining her current economic and societal standing? As far as 'unwed fathers' go, why should a male EVER be responsible for a child he did not CHOOSE to bring into this world? Why should a male ever be forced into fatherhood? Why shouldn't a male have the same reproductive freedoms that women enjoy? Nine months of pregnancy is nothing compared to eighteen years of labor towards the support of an unwanted child.

Chaim Amalek writes: The following is from the New York Times. There is a major international conference going on in South Africa on AIDS. The president of SA has caught a lot of flak for questioning the standard model of AIDS causality, which has been the focus of many press reports. But the attached is, in some ways, more interesting, and raises a few questions that are pertinent to your web site. What fraction of male performers in your business are circumcised? Are any not? Do you have enough numbers in hand to venture a guess as to whether the observations presented in the article track for men who do porn? PS A lengthier discussion of this topic appears in a recent edition of Salon.

URBAN, South Africa, July 10 -- Scientists meeting here debated today what to do about a puzzling but potentially important finding about AIDS: that circumcised men are much less likely to become infected than uncircumcised men.

Chaim: I don't know about you, but every time I travel to some reasonably advanced nation in Europe or elsewhere, I feel a gnawing sense that the USA ain't all that it is cracked up to be, that it is in long term decline marked both by violence and our accomodation to violence. Anyway, here is a little tidbit to chew on as you contemplate your return to Los Angeles in a few weeks.

LOS ANGELES, July 10 -- In the middle of a sound sleep a few weeks ago, John W. Mack, the president of the Los Angeles Urban League, was awakened by a sound he had hoped had vanished from the night here: the unmistakable rattle of gunfire echoing through the streets. The next morning, he awoke to learn that a man had been fatally shot 50 feet from his home. Several blocks away, a woman who had witnessed the shooting was "blown away, too," Mr. Mack said.

I Dreamed About You

Lynne writes: Dear Luke: I dreamed about you all night -- every freak in the world was in my apartment, like the movie "Night Breed," and finally you came over and said..."Tomorrow morning we'll get out of here" but it was too late....the freaks rioted inside and out, and I ran from them, but.....in Act II, after years in prison, I came out holding two precious letters from you. Only being able to read had become a crime, and I was afraid to be caught with them....and had to destroy them before I was searched....in the dream my name was Miranda, like the girl from Shakespeare's The Tempest...

\I am black and blue from my diving practice yesterday, and all my muscles are sore, and my weight teacher says no more coffee, so I am having an ear of corn for breakfast instead. NJG is making me ashamed to be female....she felt the need to discuss how much in love with Kendra you were, that you "stalked" her....I went along, of course....but I have so much more fun chatting with Curious. We talk back and forth, not just about him...and we make fun of you, but only in the sense of fun, not bitchiness, and he is as interested in me as I am in him....

Men mistake dependence for love, then complain about having a dependent female. Having a sweet, compliant girlie makes a man feel big and strong, I guess, but when the "chips are down," that dependence becomes an albatross. Anyway, don't know what to say. I stayed away from spending time making stuff for l-keford.com because I sensed you were taking a break, so took one, too. When you are back to work, I will send in postings as usual, but meanwhile am giving you the time you are so wisely taking.... I love you but am also realistic...it will be many years if ever before you are capable of giving anything to me, because our friendship is mutual, and you operate best in a vaccuum.

Notice I am not whining, not desperate, not begging for your attention or I will cry, or angry that you "withhold" it. Nope, no suicidal thoughts here...just good mental health and taking each beautiful day as another opportunity to see what the world holds for me when I go looking for it.

Steve Neece writes: Lynne was on target female genital mutilation.FYI there is a film called "Fire in the Eye" that documents this practice and shows horrific footage of a preschool age girl being mutilated.It is estimated that 100 million women living today have undergone this and it has been practiced in African and Arab countries since before the beginning of recorded history.It is done on young girls at ages ranging from infancy to puberty,usually by women and under the most unsanitary conditions imaginable.If you claim that female porn performers lack self esteem what can be said about women that are rabidly insistent that their own daughters be mutilated as they were?

Their vagina's are often sewn together afterwards leaving only room for urination.Their husbands rip them apart during intercourse and they are sewn back together after giving birth.As can be expected,the death rate is high.In terms of numbers of victims and the pain and misery caused it is by far the greatest crime ever committed against the female gender.The mind set of those involved staggers the imagination and to my mind disqualifies them from any consideration as setinent human beings.They take great pains to hide this practice from the eyes of the western nations as widespread knowledge of this practice would erase any sympathy held for them.In fact the practice of sewing the vagina shut may well contribute to the spread of aids as many husbands take the easier rear door entrance.

Another dirty little secret is the fact that Arabs are still today enslaving Africans in the Sudan and Mauretania.Black politicians in the U.S. do everything in their power to see that their constituents remain unaware of this as most of their political agenda's are funded by Arab oil money. Raicoaters would probably work themselves into slobbering frenzies of lust if they had access to circumcision videos.A subhuman recently posted on Gene Ross' site that he formerly made "crush" videos and was going to start a bukkake line where the women would have their eyes held open and they would hopefully be blinded in the process and he volunteered his wife as the first victim.I would have to assume Amber Lynn has fallen on hard times as she has stated on many occasions that she would never do videos of this nature.Undoubtedly this adds to the enjoyment of raincoaters.Does anyone doubt we are living in a genetic cesspit?And,no,Luke,religion only makes it worse as all monotheistic religions are based on hatred of women,children and intellectually inquisitive people.By the way,have you read the Talmud?If so,what is your opinion on their directives towards dealing with gentiles?

Chaim Amalek writes: This is taken from Taki's column in the New York Post. You are a californian. Do you look forward to the day when white folks are a minority in california? Why or why not?

California’s white population will lose its majority status this year. This is not particularly significant–the Big Apple is more brown than white–but it does raise certain questions. America has held together as long as it has because whites set the agenda. That is not to say that the agenda was superior to others. It’s that the American dream was made possible because one race, the European one, had the same language and cultural aspirations. The melting pot was a welcome fact, but until the present, minorities aspired to be part of that white-dominated culture and agenda. No longer. In California, reports the Daily Mail, vocal elements of the Hispanic population are demanding that the state adopt Spanish as its official language. The Asian and African-American populace, naturally, oppose it. Which means only one thing. Racial tensions and future violence.

In 25 years Hispanics will surpass whites, while the rest will be made up of five million Asians and three million African-Americans. When Florida, Texas, California and New York all become dominated by nonwhites, other states will close the door. Is this why the Civil War was fought? For the Republic to splinter all over again? There is only one solution. Stop nonwhite immigration and to hell with squabbling minorities. The ethnic time bomb is ticking.

David Aaron Clark writes on RAME: Sounds like you're refering to the video starring RAME-hating AVN editor Mark Kernes ... I forget the title, too. Actually, AVN was soooo embarassed by the terrible, terrible impropriety of what could be construed by smaller minds as "bribery" (unlike, say, the advertising dollars that constant award-winners Wicked, VCA, and Vivid dump on them every year), that an edict was handed down forbidding AVN editors/staffers from appearing in porn tapes. As for other shows with obese & freakish men gettin' some ... well, this RAME correspondent does creep into his own shows from time to time ... consider that a warning for the faint of heart.

Uh, Todd, I think the point being made is that we all could live without Asia's solipistic kvetching, & might even like her public persona if she were to just shut the f--- up. Not me, however. I'm a stone Asian-lovin' freak and I've never seen a single Asia scene I could get wood from. And I, for one, appreciate that Ramsey, Patrick and everybody else don't make me read about their possibly messy personal lives. Thanks, guys!

Mike Paul: I've been working on a picture, that represents why I *need* video tapes. While discussing my anti-g/g feelings with Frank Simmons, I described my inability to visualize what Brittany O'Connell looks like when I think about her. He didn't seem to understand what my problem was, so I decided a visual would be nice. I pulled out a picture I have, and tried to beat it into shape, but found I can't make it indistinct enough.

If you look at www.mikepaul.com/BOvisual.jpg you can still tell who she is. The lines are very distinct, and not blinking in and out every millisecond or so like they do in my head. No details, just outlines. That's the way it works when I fantasize about her (or any woman). I just sort of remember who it is I'm fantasizing about, and how much I'd like being with her, so I could actually see her... Mike Paul

So next time someone tells me that I should use my imagination, and think about another, better scene while I'm watching some g/g thing, I'll have this (or one better, later) to show them why I stick to what's on the tape...

Rough Sex

Twofisted writes on RAME: When Anabolic's "Rough Sex" first came out, I made several posts defending its right to be shown, even though I hadn't seen it, and had no desire to see it. A few weeks later, some scenes from the first movie showed up in the binary newsgroups, so I downloaded them to see what generated so much controversy, and posted here to the effect that the violence seemed very mild to me, and that the actresses were attractive enough and the sex hot enough to make the scene a keeper.

This week, someone has posted a scene he identifies as scene 4 from "Rough Sex 2" in the alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica newsgroup (it's Mr. Marcus with three women), and at last I see what people were getting upset about. In this scene, the sex is definitely secondary to the abuse, and he hits them HARD. It's not only ugly to watch the hitting, it's ugly to look at the mottled bruising that results. Far from being erotic, I found it completely unwatchable, to the point that I stopped downloading after a few segments, and deleted the ones I had.

None of this changes my opinion that consenting adults should be allowed to produce and watch this sort of video, if that's what turns them on. But I don't want to see it, I don't want to know them, and I didn't want my last public word on the subject to be that I personally saw nothing wrong with it.

Thom Burr writes on RAME: **slapping my forehead**

I suspect the title of this thread is deeply optimistic. Would that this were the last time! There's a certain decent-minded, well-meaning subset of depraved deviants that just refuses to accept themselves as they are, and is going insist on arguing this one forever. And to those of you: No more self-righteous denunciations of whatever particular perversions don't get your libido's pneuma pumping! Get a grip. Move on. It's time for you all to cease the self-hatred and embrace your inner reptiles.

**the sudden sound of irony-o-meters everywhere blowing out**

Face facts. The rough trade is here to stay, one way or another. Look at this way. Two RAMERs accidentally bump into each other at the local PornoRama and drop all their intended rentals. [First one, then the other:] "Hey! Your S/M tapes fell on my hardcore sex tapes!" "No way! Your vanilla f--- films were rammed into my psychodrama bondage vids!" [Then, together:] "Hey, wait! The titles are charging! What's that read?-- ROUGH SEX!!" It's Rought! But Tough! Get Used To It!

**slamming the door on my way out to the "Rough Sex Pride March" **

Pat Riley writes on RAME: Working only on looks I can see that you wouldn't find Tera Patrick at too many college parties but would find an Anastasia Blue however inthat case:

- if she's so "happy to take a tumble" which I suppose means put out or screw, then why would you bother fantasizing rather than actually doing her? or

- even if circumstances were such that you couldn't screw her why not fantasize about the real girl(s)? For what would you need pornomovies? But even if your statement that they're happy to screw is incorrect, the second comment still applies.

Surely it's not that you can't imagine her naked, and hot to trot? Not after you've seen so many pornos. And surely a real live girl is more vivid than any image of pixels on a screen? Speaking generally and without wanting to rub salt into wounds, is there something to do with self-esteem missing here?

Long ago I decided that Fantasy Patrick (thanks, Frank) has the wealth of Bill Gates, the looks and social skills of Brad Pitt or Ricky Martin, and the seduction abilities of Errol Flynn or Klaus Kinski (sorry I can't name a recent one). I'd be doing any female a favor by screwing her. (In real life, the opposite is closer to the truth.)
