Once Again You Amuse Me
Mdl writes: Mr. Ford;
I find your scathing anger at Ms. Boreman's inability to escape from an abusive relationship to be quite humorous.
Your inability to believe she did things that disgusted her in the context of that relationship is also amusing.
You, after all, do things that disgust you everyday.
You are so paralyzed by your psycho-sexual ennui that you can't escape from a life-style that defines you as both sinful and freakish.. Yet the only person that's ever put a gun to your head is you.
There is no doubt in my mind Ms. Boreman is a much stronger, finer and more spiritual person than you are.
Recollections From Fat Dog Set
I spent Thursday on the set of Rob Spallone's lesbian movie for Fat Dog.
Drew Hurley tells me: "Other porn chicks like everyone watching while they're on set. Then they'll f--- everybody on set. I like having a closed set with just the director so it is more of an intimate atmosphere and you can concentrate and you don't feel like you're putting on a live f--- show. If I wanted to have a lot of people watching me, I'd be a stripper. But I do art. In that sense, it is hard to be in the mode unless they have a camera."
Jim DiGiorgio: "If I was dating her, I'd have to bring a camera with me and a lot of money."
Drew: "I pay for my own s---. I can't go on dates because I pay for myself."
Jim: "And then the guy gets all weird."
A girl calls in to Rob saying that she can't make it as scheduled today because she's having a heavy period.
Jim: "I think every would-be filmmaker coming out of film school should spend two years in porno. Because they will learn every trick in the book on how to cut every f---ing corner. You see these books called "Guerilla Filmmaking" and stuff. f--- them. Porno. Porno is guerilla filmmaking. Slain Wayne at Extreme is a genuine underground filmmaker and has been for years. And he'll be the first guy to tell you that porno is the best training ground on the planet to learn how to be a guerilla filmmaker. It's just that your content changes.
"There are a lot of guys in this business who have the technical expertise to do something else. They just are trapped in this. It's too easy to make an ok living and scary to venture out into something that could make you so much more. But it bears a lot of risk and you have to do a lot of work... It irks me that I know how to do more and I'm not doing it. My daughter throws it in my face all the time. She says, 'What are you doing, dad? You know how to do all this stuff. You know how to edit, shoot, do sound, music. What are you doing here [in porno]? Make a documentary or something. You've got all the tools. And why aren't I doing it? Because I'm a lazy f---ing smut peddler. Because it is too easy making an ok living doing this crap."
Jason Stoner writes: Has Jimmy ever done any rock videos? He's a rocker, right? A lot of these young rock bands are into porno chic so maybe Jimmy should pitch himself to the recording industry......at least part time. Rob could supply the XXXtras. What do you think? What does Jimmy think? Ask him on your show this Tuesday. BTW, I rented Sopornos 2 recently. I liked it. Jimmy's got the eye for the erotique alrighty. And he and Rob are born actors. How's their little dance with William Morris going?
Ex-porn star Sally Layd writes on BigDoggie.net: This is Sally Layd, yes I am alive and yes I am a successful business woman these days, sorry no ugly stories to tell, like drug overdoses, or recent arrests. I know these kind of endings are much more exciting to read about, sorry to disappoint all of you dirty laundry fans.

Cheetah Bites writes: I booked her [J.R. Carrington] directly, paid for her airfare and a deposit and she didnt' show. I have heard others with similer stories about her.
Luke Gets Mail
Email: Hi Luke its me cindee plenum! I know you are jewish and so was my good frend tibor who was eaten by a snake almost a year ago in the hamburg zoo. I know that jewish people have a ceremony to mark the anniversayr of a jewish personas death but I do nt know what it is and we were unable to give tibor a proper burial. Please tell me what I should do to pay respects.
Ruby writes: Luke, All of the girls did their research project tonight, we found out that a disproportionate amount of us are first-born girls. Interesting!!!
Luke, So you want to be a ho? Someone should train you properly!! Can I be your pimp? You have to f--- me well, I like a good pounding. What's your favorite position? Mine is doggie.
Mike South writes: I actually applaud Alan Gelbard's stepping up to the plate and finally offering up an example or two. Something nobody else has been able to do in two years. Amore detailed response is coming but I wanted to get this to you before sundown. I did not put together the fundraiser for Elyses Passion I did volunteer to participate. I put my money where my mouth is. I have many issues with what Mr. Gelbard said but again I didnt want it to go with no response all weekend because of the Torah...thanks Luke.
Goddess writes: On the subject of the FSC, I would appreciate it if Mr.Gellbard would address this comment he made:
"(I personally believe that the "fund raiser" purportedly thrown by Mr. South recently does more harm than good to her chances by not only offending potential jurors, but by further motivating the prosecution team, but that's another issue.)"
I was under the impression that the point of screening potential jurors was to elimate those influenced by something seen or heard in the media concerning the case. If these "potential jurors" were "offended" by the fundraiser, then obviously they shouldn't even be ON the jury. And if they weren't offended by Elyse's shop to begin with, how in the world would the fundraiser offend them? I think it's important that the community see that other members of the adult industry are behind Elyse in this matter, so I'd like Mr. Gellbard to elaborate on his comment, please.
Arch Stanton writes on RAME: Question: Is the Free Speech Coalition a nonprofit organization? If so is it customary to provide a Yearly Balance Sheet to the donors who ask for one? I have given to Children International several times and requested and received such a statement to see what percentage of my money was actually getting to the kids and how much was padding the wallets of the execs in the form of salaries.
Question: Is the Free Speech Coalition merely a front for the powerbrokers of the industry? Do they pose as defenders of the first amendment for all the little guys on the front line when in fact they are only interested in lining their own pockets and promoting their own agenda?
Mike South has made some interesting observations. 600 large and not one person aided in their defense against prosecution. And not one reward given. Isn't this their stated primary function? Their reason for existence? Their sales pitch to hook donations? Tal, they're a tough outfit to defend. Hey, Im by no means shocked at these allegations. After all, this is the adult industry. But they should knock off the pretension and call themselves The Promoters of the Adult Power Brokers For the Further Advancement of Bank Accounts. I expect anytime now for them to rush to the aid of some poor slob so they can silence their critics, "see, see we just spent $2000 to help this guy now shut up.
Ian writes: Hi Luke, I was surprised to see you criticizing Devon's spelling by placing the word "sic" in brackets after a couple of words used by her on her website. If you did the same for others whose words you print your column would be inelegantly full of such implicit criticisms. The practice is dangerous, too, since it leaves the critic himself open to criticism, and it is extremely easy to misspell words even when one is literate. In Devon's case you implicitly point out that she has used the word 'their' instead of 'there' (an extremely common mistake) and 'smelt' instead of 'smelled'. However, according to my Oxford English Dictionary, 'smelt' is a perfectly adequate alternative to 'smelled'. Am I being too pedantic, or were you?
Luke replies: I was too pedantic.
Jeff writes: Hi Luke, Back in his peanut butter and jelly sandwich days, Stephen King used to crank out fiction for what we fondly remember as "men's magazines" such as Gent and Cavalier. That was back in the day when guys liked a little fiction to break up all those black and white pics of topless blondes in stockings and high heels. Well, maybe they really didn't. Anyway... What I wanted to ask Luke are there any men's magazines left out there that accept non-fiction articles besides Playboy or Penthouse? I was thinking about trying Perfect 10 for an article I'm writing about Internet Escorts. I've interviewed a few of them and I'm trying to find a magazine or major website to accept it. As far as web publications, Nerve politely passed, Feed wasn't interested and Salon didn't reply. I found a site called AskMen.com that is interested but they only pay $30 for a 1000 word article. I was kind of hoping for something a little better than that. Do you know anything about how hard it is to break into Playboy or Penthouse, or am I doomed to just running it in my local alternative paper. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Porn and the Feminization Of Men
Screech writes on RAME: I have heard that the porn industry was the major influence for what is now the norm when it comes to the grooming and esthetics of the pussy, either totally shaved or a racing stripe or Hitler moustache of short pubic hair.
There was a practical reason in porn for this, so viewers could a nice clear view of cock slamming into vagina. When it comes to females I don't have much of a problem with it though it isn't my preference to see a grown woman with no pubes. I think it plays to those with fantasies of having sex with prepubescents. Give me a chick with a nicely trimmed BUSH, the way women in Playboy and Penthouse looked in the 80's and early 90's.
What's going on with the men in porn and more and more in society is another matter. I think it's major creepy. I totally understand why guys in porn trim their pubes and balls, some guys are so hairy down in that region it would be hard to see anything if they didn't trim down. But now it's gone far beyond that. I'm seeing more and more guys who have NO body hair and it is disturbing to see imho. I know that body builders shave down so that when they compete and oil themselves up the judges can see every cut of muscle and vein. Personally body building as a sport is major creepy, total narcissism. You wanna be a man and compete physically with other men? Pick up a basketball or a hockey stick or golf even for crissakes!
But at least a competitive body builder has some kind of excuse for rejecting his hair. Hehehe......the funniest thing about these guys who juice up on steroids and the nutrient s--- that is steroid like is that while these guys are getting pumped up to impress chicks and the mirror those substances are also messing around with hormones that will cause the hair on their head to fall out 10 years before their genes were preprogrammed for it to fall out.
I got no problem with hairy guys trimming down or shaving off some of their hair. Back hair ain't pretty to anybody.....ooops....it's actually considered very hot for a segment of gay men who dig 'bears'. But I'm seeing more and more guys in porn with NO hair. No chest hair, no leg hair. Like I said I can understand some of this from a porno making perspective.
When I see a guy with NO hair on his forearms to me that just looks strange. Even stranger in porn is when I see a behind shot of a guy doing a chick and there's a shot of his brown eye and there's NO hair smooth as a baby. I sit there and just shake my head thinking of this big tough stud at home bent over contorted with his head between his legs and a mirror in one hand and scissors or razor in the other going through this nonsense. I've played every sport there is, been in locker rooms a thousand times and men have hair there, some less than others but everybody has hair there.
Ya know what motivated me to write this long post? I was watching a vid online the other day and there's this guy and he takes off his clothes and now I'm used to seeing guys with shaved chests and legs and sometimes even totally shaved crotches. Then the camera got close on this guy's crotch and I saw IT - this douchebag had shaved off all his pubes but he had left an area of hair trimmed down like the 18th green of Augusta National in a small rectangle reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin's moustache just like a chick. It is one of the faggiest creepiest things I have ever seen. The gym I go to is pretty cool, mostly 20 and 30 something's trying to keep in shape and look good. Sure there are some of the body builder types on the juice who have shaved some body hair but I have never seen any guy in their who has more than trimmed his pubes. If this guy I saw in the movie came into the locker room naked with that pubic artwork one of two things would happen - 1)laughter and snickering or 2)he'd get the crap kicked out of him. I don't know the exact societal psycho sexual political reason behind this esthetic emasculisation of the male human but it is a trend that continues to grow....anybody else notice there are guys now who shape their eyebrows? Damn I have some uncles who fought in WW11 who must be rolling around their graves.
I once heard some feminist type talking about young girls and pop teen idols. Almost all teen idols have been hairless pretty boy types. She said that's because young 12-13 year old girls fear their sexuality and men. They aren't ready yet for the real deal so they use these fantasies about these hairless feminine looking older teenage guys as sorta training wheels. As women as a whole crave more equality and power this whole esthetical feminisation of men might have more to it than just a fashion trend or fad. We all still are motivated by the same genetically programmed impulses our ancestors the cavemen had. Back then the more masculine, the bigger, the hairier had the most power. He would just drag the female of his choice back to the cave and have his way with her. If you made this caveman brute hairless and as feminine looking as possible he would lose some of his dignity and masculinity and he would be much less likely to behave like an animal sexually.
I don't know how most women feel about this but I sense that many of today's younger(under 35)women do find guys with less body hair more attractive. I asked a couple female friends, 33 year olds, about this guy I had seen in the movie with the pubic moustache thing and they both laughed and said that is going too far and too weird. But they both said they do want a guy to trim down below. As for the other stuff like shaving the arms and legs they said they prefer a normal guy. So then I said what about if you had a choice between Robin Williams the actor (hairy f---er) and a guy who had shaved off all his body hair....and they laughed and said they would pick the body builder. So then I said ok maybe you are just grosses out by Robin Williams.....what if there were two very good looking guys wearing suits then they both took off their clothes..one was hairy and the other hairless.....they couldn't really decide cuz i kept reminding them that they are both very good looking well built guys so they would say s--- like 'well it depends....' I'm just saying the shaping of ones pubes into some geometric shape is going WAY TOO FAR!!!
