Flashman says Kitty Yung, living in Las Vegas, has a baby.

LF.com Connects Pre-Oedipal Society With Traumatic Parenting

Dudley Moore writes: Please take a look at this.

Gia perfectly fits the pre-oedipal female homosexual profile detailed in Elaine Siegel's 1988 book, Female Homosexuality: Choice without Volition. Even though this phenomena (pre-oedipal sexuality) is very well understood by clinical psychiatry today, notice how society, including the media, simply "dumbs out" rather than trying to understand anything associated with drugs.

Once a drug problem has been identified in a troubled individual, like Gia, society and our media simply opt out and attribute everything else to the drug problem, instead of seeing the problem or person as a symptom of some basic underlying cause.

The sex industry is likewise just a symptom, specifically of psychically traumatic mothering and fathering, but society chooses to dysfunctionally sweep such knowledge and awareness under the rug, rather than trying to understand what it tells us about ourselves.

I believe l-keford.com could play a role in making a connection between pre-oedipal(visual) society and traumatic parenting. Please do what you can to publicize the connection between our highly visual modern youth and the sex industry, in terms of a shared underlying cause.

My Life In Pornography

Jay Forman writes this amusing piece for Slate.com. I think he must've worked at Carl Ruderman's Crescent Publications.

Here are some excerpts from the article:

My specialty was writing booty letters to the magazine, which are, by the way, completely bogus. I was the David Halberstam of porn, churning out tales of erotic intrigue by the dozen. The trick is to write from a woman's point of view and say what men want to hear. "I had just flown back first-class from my modeling shoot in L.A., and I really needed a good screw. I saw this foxy bag handler down at the baggage claim. He was kinda greasy, but I like it dirty, so I went up and told him I wanted to file a lost dick claim. Could I borrow his?" The tough part of this job was concocting original euphemisms for male genitalia. Thinking up synonyms for "penis" is far more challenging than you might think. There are only so many ways to say cock, and all the good ones suffer from overuse. I did have a reference book, a sort of industry trade pornographic thesaurus that got passed around the company, but the real rush came from making ones up on my own. After all, I am a writer. My personal favorite was "swollen trouser-troll." I coined that puppy. That's all me.

By virtue of my general indifference, I maintained a certain professional detachment from the explicit material. But other employees—one of my editors [Bob Johnson?] in particular—loved the stuff. His cubicle was a pornographic horrorshow. Bizarre toys were strewn everywhere, including Hello Kitty nipple clamps and a light-up chastity belt buckle. There was a large picture of him wearing a strap-on rubber squid and getting spanked with a package of bacon. Rounding it out was an autographed pair of women's panties that read, "Someday a real girl will laugh at your penis."

Luke Watches Body Double

I watched the 1984 Brian DePalma film Body Double Monday night and went into sensory overload. Life no longer seems real. I was overwhelmed. Maybe I just have too sensitive a stomach. I can handle sex, but I can't take violence...and all the twists and turns in the movie made me queasy...

The drill scene was experienced by me as the ultimate rape... Holly Body, the porn star played by Melanie Griffith, got off some great lines. I think the porno parts were my favorite parts, and the most amusing, of the movie. I'm embarrassed to say that I did not recognize any of the porners in the background or in the credits...

XXX writes: I should have warned you about "Body Double." It just seems violent. In fact you never see the drill touch Deborah Shelton's flesh. It's all sleight of hand. Hitchcockian suspense. Brian screened "Rear Window" and "Vertigo" several times before writing the script. Feminists were outraged by the movie. Still, it is a disturbing and confusing film and Brian did some strange things in the end.

Bob writes: Luke - I just read your comments on Body Double and agree with both you and XXX. Very disturbing and hard to follow towards the end. Some of the actresses that you didn't recognize were Linda Shaw, Cara Lott and Annette Haven. Look it up on www.imdb.com, they have the full cast.

A word of note. I watched a movie called The Pornographer and Craig Wasson (from Body Double) also has a part in that movie. He plays a sleaze ball agent/producer/distributor. The movie is an indie but it's very honest but also very disturbing. It's also funny in a sad sort of way. When the lead character walks into the adult bookstore they know him on a first name basis and know what kind of movies he rents. Sort of like an episode from Cheers (Norm!!!!!). If you haven't seen the movie........rent it. It's about a young professional guy that's obsessed with porn and getting laid. He decides to make his own movies. Hires a hooker that he's been seeing and an unemployed actor for his first movies. Meets pretty young girl and persuades her to be in a movie. The rest I won't tell you in case you haven't seen this movie. BTW, there is little, if no nudity and very little violence.

Mr Marcus Protests Use Of Racist Language In HIV Debate

Mr Marcus writes Luke: Jeremy you use the 'N' word again I'll personally come and beat your ass. Keep that s--- checked, your topic was about Brazil and it's HIV issue stick to that. HIV does not discriminate, neither should you nor this person Gregory. Monkey dick, paid whore, all that stupid name calling bulls---. Lose it ya don't need it, to make a point.

Farrell Timlake writes: I agree with Mr. Marcus that people should not use bad language or racial epithets to make a point. I have respect for Jeremy in making a point that is very controversial to begin with, and he was always a decent fellow when he worked for us. However, I think he is intelligent enough to use his wits rather just make vulgar rebukes to get his point across.

CzechJewishChick: Dear Luke. More Redneckguy pleses
CzechJewishChick: Nice Jewish man Paul Fishbein will to not talk wit me anymore.
CzechJewishChick: I am very much sad

Redneckguy writes: Mr. Ford, Sorry to bother you again, but I noticed you put my letter in your site, so I guess I figured if I had more to say, well, I guess it'd be ok. Mr. Ford, I just wanted to say, "Right on, bro" to that Mr. Markus fella. Even where I'm from, we don't call his kind the "N" word anymore, well, not hardly. Anyway, that Mr. Steel guy should keep a civil tongue in his head. Mr. Markus has a awfully big pole betwixt his legs which we all know cause we've seen his movies. And anyone sportin that kind of wood oughta be able to whip the tar outa some wannabe song singer like that Jeremy Steal. Besides, we all know that HIV came from monkeys. I personally read a pamphlet that said it started with some African monkeys a long time ago. Some kind of monkey experiments it said. Besides, them whores from Brazil probably got the HIV from havin sex with queers. Or maybe them South American monkeys met up with some African monkeys and now they have the disease too. P.S. Do ya think mr. Markuz would tell us all what it's like to f--- that Syliva saint whore? Damn, if she ain't all that!

Ashlyn Gere Interview

For years, my favorite fantasy porn girl was Ashlyn Gere. Then I saw her in real life and the fantasy died.

This happened to me with various porn stars, including J.R. Carrington. In pictures and movies they can look fantastic, but in person they often seem ordinary at best. Roxanne Hall was an exception. She looked better in real life.

I just read this recent interview with Ashlyn Gere on Unchain and the interviewer seems to have the same fan boy attitude I had towards Ashlyn at one point. I identify with him. The downer is that the answers Ashlyn gives are so ordinary and boring. Another letdown.

Before I started meeting porn girls, I fantastized about porn girls. Now that I've met them, I fantasize more about shul girls.

Gere's making three movies this year for VCA - the home of the over the hill porn star (Marilyn Chambers, Ginger Lynn, etc).

Sylvia Saint Pregnant

Peter Ramezap writes on RAME: Well, it's old news about her retirement, but according to www.private.com she is also pregnant with her first child. To put certain rumors to rest she also has not married Mr.. Marcus or any other American man. She and a Czech business man are going to tie the knot in the near future.

Tiffany Mynx's Toe Story

Poonies writes on RAME: Just saw 'A Toe Story' with Tiff - WOW, best she has done by far. She is in every scene and takes it up the ass in all but two, these are les scenes. She pisses twice (once right at the end), attempts to fist herself, squirts, takes a foot up the cunt and is awesome! I just wish Ginger Lynn would go work for Pagan Pictures - she would have been just as awesome in this vid!

Sofia Staks Coming To San Francisco - See You There!

HIV Positive Brazil Porn Girls On Extreme Associates Boxcover

XXX writes: I can list a lot of brazilian HIV-infected girls who made unprotected sex with american actors. I don't know their names, but they are the ones from the first Extreme Brazil flick. One of em already died. I've circled them on this boxcover.

YYY, an American close to the porn industry, says: Extreme and all the other American companies that travel to Brazil, to the best of my knowledge, insist on the use of condoms.

Gregory Bowman writes Luke: Sent to me today was a box cover from XXX, Brazilian porn publisher noting THAT indeed American Producers are hiring HIV positive Brazilian actresses to perform in movies for release in United States. Performing with American male talent.

Moreover, XXX has indicated that male American porn actors have been exposed to these dying or dead porn actresses and are continuing to work in the U.S. Once again reiterating my inital commentary regarding the risks of HIV in Brazil. Producers and talent take note of those who are working with talent shooting in Brazil-they are taking unreasonable risks to save money. As a result, people will become infected and die. WAKE UP and smell the roses at your funeral.

I would appreciate more people like XXX to come forward with this information so everyone can cringe at the reality of PROFIT vs Care in the porn industry. I would greatly appreciate your comments and information at nathans_parable@yahoo.com

Luke Gets Mail

Karl writes: Luke. met someone online a few days ago. Her handle was GG. Anyway she told me she was a retired porn star, who was born in Mexico. She has been married twice, her current husband's name is Jimmy and they reside in Manhattan. She says she is into real estate now and her and her husband own clubs in Mexico. Website for one of her clubs is www.blackjack-cancun.com. She says she has worked for major porn producers like Wicked and has her own porn production company in Mexico. Luke who is she? She told me she charges 500.00 for an autographed video.

Britt Morgan writes: blah blah blah. First of all Brandy, I went to your personal site to privately try to disperse whatever your beligerent little problem has been - (I should have suspected you lacking in integrity as well) - if you wrote less randomly, I could probably figure it out - but I am at a loss. You refer to people that I do not have any regard or relation of situation to (Tricia Dever-who?). And I do NOT know a lot of people these days much less what the hell they bother thinking about - but my guess is, it wouldn't be about your ignorant ass. And 'mad'? I haven't yet gotten mad about a damn retarded thing you've said or reach down into your slime bag TO say. For me to be mad about anything you have to wretch about would only validate you and your hackneyed opines. You have spouted nothing but ranting dribble, which has caused me great pleasure of laughter. I haven't shed one word of anger - only humor and disregard - and as far as I'm concerned, it all makes for great TV. Luke is happy to have something else to fill up space, and it's just damn funny to keep watchin' you lose control and thus just lose, period. So, if'n you say so - that you can officially not be considered a porn star anymore, 'cause you're not a skank??? Whew! In that case, this whole scenario of crap-ola was worth the typing!!! I'm sure there's probably a whole bunch'a girls that'll be thanking you for that differentiation. Here, let me be the first - thanks, Brandi, for finally declaring that you indeed, are NOT one of us. And as far as the "touche'" - I have no intention of dis'sing on you even at the end of an invitation - you can get your sadistic fuel elsewhere - it won't be from me, who is NOT the likes of you.

Gene Ross writes on his web site: In all my years dealing with hookers I only met one who would take it in the ass without a condom. She was a moonlighting SAG actress, by the way.

Shawn writes: Oh yes, I am proud that you bought bookshelves. Mazal tov. But please, please get a mattress. Personally, I think your CFSyndrome will disappear when you sleep on a bed, with a pillow and blanket like a mensch. Think of it, sleeping on the floor, breathing in all the spores and fungus... Why do you think all those goyish saints were always so sick and suffering and dying young? Not because Jews were killing them, noooo, but because they were sleeping on the floor, in some garage.
