October AVN Magazine Reports on Flock of Fresh Faces

(CHATSWORTH, CA) -- Spurred by porn queen Jenna Jameson's financial success in both adult and mainstream entertainment, an increasing number of women are eager to act in adult videos and films, according to leading industry trade journal Adult Video News.

In its October issue cover story, AVN reports that studios are "scrambling to sign the latest 'Next Big Things,' putting them in front of the camera and onto box covers almost as quickly as they arrive in Porn Valley (California's San Fernando Valley). The more savvy production companies are going to greater and greater lengths, aggressively utilizing both the established marketing strategies and some creative, new ones to distinguish themselves from their competitors."

AVN says that "industry powerhouse Vivid Entertainment Group has a stable of some of the best-known names in adult, but the company also works hard to keep its talent roster and new releases full of fresh faces."

AVN associate editor Steven Ochs writes that "When the new girls see someone like Jenna and how successful she is, it gives them a benchmark. It gives them something to strive for." Jameson has had featured appearances in music videos from Korn and Eminem and has appeared on numerous television shows, including the O'Reilly Factor and upcoming roles in "Porn 'n Chicken" a new movie from Comedy Central, and the new NBC series "Mister Sterling." her company, ClubJenna, Inc., has licensed her likeness for an adult action figure and bobblehead doll, and has made other merchandising deals for a long-distance phone card, sex toys, a pubic hair trimmer and other products.

AVN says studios are employing a variety of methods to identify future porn stars, especially those with "fresh-scrubbed looks and down-to-earth personalities." Internet talent searches and bikini contests at casinos are among the newer recruiting tools, along with traditional ones such as scouting at topless bars and advertising in weekly newspapers. "And these days, adult companies have a deeper pool of Jenna wannabes from which to choose. In adult entertainment, one of the few constants is the never-ending infusion of fresh flesh. And it doesn't really matter whether the girls come to the industry via bikini contests, talent agencies or ads in the back of newspapers," the magazine reports.

Britney Spears a Stripper in her Next Movie

Sky News reports: Britney Spears has been hanging out at lap-dancing clubs - for the sake of her new movie. The superstar's next role sees her play a stripper - and Britney wanted to research the part in person. Her debut movie Crossroads bombed at the box office, and Spears wants to make sure her next flick does better. A source close to the 20-year-old said: "If that involves a bit of method acting then so be it. "I'm sure she could have watched the girls stripping on video. But she wanted to get a taste of the atmosphere and see the real thing in the flesh." Britney has even been taking private lessons to learn how to gyrate around a pole. The Daily Star quoted her as saying: "I have the body but now I need to learn some of the moves. "Being a stripper is hard work."

Why So Few Erotic Reviews On TheEroticReview.com?

Doc writes: Some hobbyists tend to review the ladies w/o asking the lady if she could be reviewed. When I provide my Model Release Form to the Pornstars I meet, I have some blocks were they check off what I am permitted to say, show or post so that there isn't any misunderstandings. Some recent busts in major cities, have caused several local and Pornstars to ask for their reviews to be removed afraid that it might be used against them in the court of law. Although, TER board is mainly of reviews, they can't post what the ladies don't want for the same reasons that you would not want your DNS, Computer Name, IP Address and other information be shown publicly. As you can see, I've posted less than 1/2 of my 53 PSE meetings to date, mainly because the ladies asked me not to and others because the were too old to post based on TER's guidelines.

Some of you ask me why I get extra mileage that some of you don't? well here is one of the answers, besides being a gentlemen with them, I respect their wishes (THE LADIES DO READ THE BOARDS FYI) and they DO thank me for it in many ways. I think most of you guys have been very well informed and did not HAVE TO go thru what those of us went thru in the 80's and early 90's were boards or backchanneling were not available. You should be VERY Grateful and Thankful you have something and someone’s willing to share their experiences as limited as you might think it is, which I totally differ but like anything else, nothing is never enough for some......Greediness!

Male Sex Columnists

Erin O'Connor writes: Glenn Reynolds is deeply displeased with the New York Times' belated and slanted coverage of the hallowed tradition of campus sex columny. Glenn has been following the phenomenon for quite some time now, and he speaks with authority on the subject. One question he has asked repeatedly: Why are all the campus sex columnists women? Our theory is that a man could not be a campus sex columnist in today's male-unfriendly campus culture. When women students write provocative, often self-revealing columns about sex, when they opine about desire and deliver precociously expert advice, they are celebrating sexuality and expressing their own liberation. They are titillating readers while at the same time making a feminist statement. They are loved by all (except certain campus conservatives, whose sensibilities do not count in the moral calculus of campus culture).

But if a male student were to write columns on, say, oral sexual technique (as Yale sex columnist Natalie Krinsky has famously done) he and his paper would be up on harassment charges so fast it would make our puritanical academic heads spin. There would be protests, possibly even stolen press runs. There would be sensitivity workshops and the paper would face defunding. Men, after all, do not have a sexuality that can stand up to public exposure. They are, after all, potential rapists, each and every one. Male sexuality is no laughing matter and should not be treated lightly--and playfully--in the inky pages of a student rag.

New Times LA Closes, Richard Riordan Attempts Startup

Harry writes on LaExaminer.com: "I really hope the paper still has the ads to all those f---ing disgusting asian whorehouse "massage" parlors in my neighborhood here - i would hate to stop seeing ejaculate soaked copies of only the weekly being thrown out of cars. why arent these places ever targeted - my god, they are in open daylight."

JasonCurious.com Reports

Reliable sources within the inner posse of Danni Ashe tell me the President/CEO of Danni’s Hard Drive will no longer shed her duds as of December 31st, 2002. After nearly a year of consistent retreats to her Montana ranch, making seldom appearances in her Culver City based offices, the decision to retire has come as no great shock many of The Large Breasted One’s employees, as their once hands-on leader distances herself more and more from the roundtable. Now back in Los Angeles, I’m told Ashe is spending nearly each day in her studios or on location, shooting back-to-back content to be distributed over the course of the next few years. Rumors are abound as to what will happen to Ashe and her prized company come 2003. Some say her decision to retire is in hopes of starting a family while others have even speculated that she intends to sell the company.

Women Renting Porn

Jim Gunn writes on RAME: I understand that it might be somewhat more uncomfortable for a female to go to a porn shop and rent a porn movie, but the reality of it is probably not as bad as you imagine it to be. Number one, the people behind the counter are low wage clerks who probably couldn't care less who is renting what and don't take much notice of who is renting what. Number two, if anything they probably tend to be nicer to you since you are a chick. But if you are in a really small town or just can't overcome your embarassment your best bet is to shop online and rent VHS tapes or better yet DVDs. You can get a decent DVD stand alone player for under $100 now if you don't want to be tied to your computer and the disks themselves are very reasonable to purchase or rent as well from several online sources such as through adultdvdtalk.com; or from xrentdvd.com; bluedoor.com (VHS too); and myriad others.

Nikki Dial

Doc writes: Nikki was listed, once last year, were she was to feature in Boyton Beach, Florida and provide "Private Shows" thru E2K. Tons of hobbyists reserved and book flights to go visit one of the most sought after ladies in porn, if not the most. For some reason, she cancelled both endeavors stating she was having some family problems and WE were all left hanging. Up to this date, it has remain as a mystery including a most recent inquiry done on this years AVN Awards, San Te? I personally think the Agency screwed up because she might have not wanted to be listed publicly but privately and that might have caused the issue, very similar to Ashlyn Gere.

Some ladies provide the GFE experience as part of their regular services, while others do so depending on the circumstances or not at all.
  • GFE = Girl Friend Experience #2: What it means to each person is a little different, but to most guys it means a provider that makes the experience seem unrushed, enjoyable, fun, relaxing and more like a "real date than a quick commercial encounter. In practice, though, it seems to depend on chemistry, personality and mutual expectations, as YMMV ("your mileage may vary") for both the provider and client.

Also private viewing is interpreted differently by different PV providers and implemented differently according to the client in many instances--many more than a FS escort. If you insist on Full Service DO NOT go to someone who advertises Private Viewing. Really simple. If you are happy with a "hands-on" approach (and likely hands only) then this may be a route for you. You will in all likelihood leave the PV "satisfied" and the PV provider WILL assist you in a hands-on manner. It is NOT a do-it-yourself experience. In some instances, french or russian lessons may occur but that is absolutely NOT something to expect. If language lessons happen consider your self blessed or lucky but DO NOT expect it and DO NOT plan on it no matter what one individual says--that is foolhardy at best. Also known as FBSM (see definition above) or B2B.
  • REQ = Requesting information
  • Russian = Penis between girl's breasts until completion.
  • YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary---May do things with one person, but not with another OR your experience may be different than mine for a variety of reasons.

Interviews With Hannah Harper and Ben English

I met British blonde beauty Hannah Harper, a Legend contract girl, at the 9/24/02 Tera Show.

We spoke over the phone 10/1/02.

Hannah: "I did my first in-story signing in Denver this weekend. I couldn't have been with nicer people."

DUC: "Did you grow up in London?"

Hannah: "About 300 miles south in Devon."

DUC: "How old were you when you lost your virginity?"

Hannah: "Sixteen."

DUC: "Was it a good experience or a bad experience?"

Hannah: "It wasn't a bad experience. I guess you always think your first time is going to be amazing and it wasn't amazing."

DUC: "What's the age of consent in England?"

Hannah: "It's 16. My boyfriend was 24."

DUC: "When did you get the breast job?"

Hannah: "Before I came into the industry. I turned 18 on July 4, 2000, and then I had my breasts done on July 14th. I did my first shoot in January, 2001."

DUC: "What prompted you to get the breast job?"

Hannah: "Just because I felt it would increase my confidence. My boobs were nice. They weren't saggy. But you grow up and you feel very self conscious if you have a small chest. I was a B-cup but then I lost weight and it went down to an A-cup. I now measure 35B-25-34."

DUC: "How do you like them?"

Hannah: "I'm really happy. My doctor advised me not to go too large and I'm glad I didn't. I was halfway through my first shoot with a photographer in England when he said, 'Are your breasts real?' I said no. I'm pleased that they look real."

DUC: "How did your parents react to your breast job?"

Hannah: "They didn't know. I wore padded bras for a long time. I didn't draw attention to my chest for months before having them done. And the same thing afterwards. My mom used to say to me, 'Don't worry. You'll have a growing spurt. That's what I did when I was younger.' So now she thinks that I had my growing spurt."

DUC: "What sort of attitude were you raised with about sex?"

Hannah: "My parents were always very open about sex. They taught me about sex from an early age. It was something we discussed. It was never a taboo thing. I can remember being so embarrassed because my mom used to throw parties for me when I was in junior school. I was about ten. All my friends would be in there asking my mom all these questions they couldn't ask their own parents. I used to sit in the corner dying. I'm glad I was brought up that way."

DUC: "How did you get into this industry?"

Hannah: "I jumped into video first. It was that boyfriend's idea that I give it a try. I don't think it is something that I would've done on my own. He saw an advert on the internet for a modeling agency in England. I went and they took a few promotional pictures of me. From there, I did my first video, which was done on an amateur level. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. It wasn't something that I felt I would carry on with. But I was given a whole bunch of numbers on that shoot, and one of them was an agent in London, Ben English. I called him and he was great. He got me some work for Club magazine and a video for Ben Dover. That's where my enjoyment of the industry came from. If I hadn't met up with him, I don't think I would've stayed in the industry.

"Ben had contacts over here - Mark Spiegler and Mike Sullivan. So that's how I came to work here. Ben's English but he's been in California for 12 years.

"I left [high] school when I was 16, then I went to college, finishing at age 19. I flew in to Los Angeles on July 10, 2001. I turn 21 years old on July 4, 2003."

DUC: "How did you like LA?"

Hannah: "It was fantastic. The industry out here compared to England is just amazing. It's so much more professional here. The rates are higher. Great locations, make-up, wardrobe. The girls look great. You see pictures of English girls shot in England and you see pictures of them shot over here and you wouldn't even recognize it was the same girls. It's more underground [in England]. It's how I imagine the industry was here 15 years ago.

"LA is great. I come from a small town in England and it is great to be somewhere where there's life and sunshine."

DUC: "Do your parents know about your entry into X-rated videos?"

Hannah: "Yes they do. They were worried at first, especially working in England. But now I've come out here and since I've done Penthouse, which is obviously has a higher reputation. I'm a lot happier working out here and it must show when I'm talking to them. They know that I'm [financially] comfortable. I don't come from a background where we ever had money. Now I'm living comfortably and I've traveled with my money. This work has enabled me to travel around the US - New York, Miami, Hawaii, San Francisco.

"My husband and I travelled around Australia and Malaysia and Europe together. He's now in the process of becoming my ex-husband. He lives in England. We still talk and we're friends."

DUC: "Do you want to marry one day and have kids?"

Hannah: "I'm not very paternal. Obviously I'm young and I can't say, no, I never want children. But I really have no desire to ever have children."

DUC: "Did the adult industry contribute to your divorce?"

Hannah: "Let's just say it didn't help! It was a catalyst I think."

DUC: "What do you love and what do you hate about the industry?"

Hannah: "I love how social it is. I love that now I have been around it longer, I can walk on to a set and pretty much know at least half of the people there. It's nice to be around people who are open about their sexuality. I love that it is never boring. I love the funny little scenarios you get yourself into. I was at a toy convention. I sat down to take a break. We were eating lunch and there were all these massive dildos all over the table. When you stop and think sometimes, you think it is so ridiculous. But I love that. I love shooting movies. I love being under contract with Legend because I get to shoot every month. I'd miss that if I shot less often.

"What do I hate about the industry? I've been fortunate in the way my career's been managed. I was in good hands over here with Mark [Spiegler] and Mike [Sullivan]. I've never been pushed to do things I'm not comfortable with. I've never been abused. I hate that aspect of the industry. I hate that people are shooting rape scenarios. I keep quiet about it because I know a lot of actresses speak up that that is their fantasy, but I hate it. I hate the little girl aspect of it. When an obviously womanly girl dresses as a little girl, and she's obviously a woman, and she's just playing, that's fine. But when you have a little girl who looks very young and they really play that up, I hate that. I understand why they shoot it and I would never speak up about it. It's something I personally try to avoid doing."

DUC: "What did it mean to you to be Penthouse Pet of the Month?"

Hannah: "I never expected it. I don't think Mike or Mark or Ben expected it. They took me around to meet photographers. There was a rumor that Carl Wachter might shoot me for Penthouse but that never really came through. Then Hank Londoner said he wanted to but I never quite believed it, even after we'd done the shoot. I'd heard that some pictures are rejected. I was supposed to come out in the March [2002] issue but I didn't. I thought they'd rejected the pictures. Then it came out in April and I was like, ohmigod. I didn't want to believe it until it actually happened. Now I get advanced copies of Penthouse and I always look at the other layouts and I still can't believe that somebody decided they could put me in the same league as these other girls."

DUC: "What are you looking forward to doing in the industry?"

Hannah: "I'm looking forward to the AVN Awards because I didn't get to go last year. Once I've been around longer and I have a fan base, which I don't have at the moment. I'm still working on a website. I've hit a standstill with my webmaster. It's not an uncommon story. It's taking longer than I would've liked."

DUC: "How long are you under contract for at Legend?"

Hannah: "Until March [2002]."

DUC: "Would you like to be independent?"

Hannah: "I'd rather be under contract, if possible with Legend. They've been terrific. I like the routine of it. You know who you are going to work for and what they expect from you. I shoot with Jerry next week and I can already tell you how the day's going to go. I like that."

DUC: "Do you have hobbies?"

Hannah: "I work out. I mostly do pilates. I've gone a trainer.

"I studied theater and film and media at college. I like to go to the cinema and theater. It's ridiculous. Since I've been out in LA, I haven't done that much. Coming out here, with so much more to see, I would've done that... Things just get hectic. I never seem to get round to it."

DUC: "How do Americans respond to your accent?"

Hannah: "They never understand when I ask them for water and tuna. The majority of Americans like the accent. They either make fun of me in a nice way or they want me to talk."

I talk by phone to British male performer Ben English, a friend of Legend contract girl Hannah Harper.

DUC: "How did you get into the adult industry?"

Ben: "In 1995, I started dating a big boobed model and feature dancer, Tawny Peaks. I went on some shoots for her. She worked almost exclusively for Score magazine. Also, Tonisha Mills. I met them in England. At the time, I was in the music business and I worked a lot in America. I've lived in California since 1988.

"Almost inevitably, I went on some shoots with the girls. The Score photographers were all from England, so we got on well. They said I was a decent looking chap and that I should think about getting in front of the camera. I resisted for a couple of years. Finally, I did a scene or two. Towards the end of the 1990s, I lived in San Francisco. I'd be in London occasionally and work for the Score group.

"By this time, I was no longer dating Tawny. A different girlfriend, Jordan, and I started working for a number of people in San Francisco. There are no major companies there but it's a vibrant small industry. We did about a 60 scenes together. The music business took me back to London in early 2000. I was a production manager for major touring acts."

DUC: "You must've met a lot of women that way."

Ben: "In the mid to late eighties when I was touring with all the medal acts like Van Halen, Metallica, Motley Crue, Scorpions and other metal acts. There was a lot of action in those days but I don't think there is anymore.

"A friend of mine in London [Kirsten Klass] asked me to assist her with running her agency Direct Models. Initially it was only going to be for a couple of weeks. It turned into a year. Kirsten is the ex-wife of Omah, who sells that line to VCA. She used to have the agency Kool Klass."

DUC: "How did you meet Hannah?"

Ben: "She knocked on my door one day looking for representation. I thought great, this is a good new girl. She's 18. She's every agent's dream. She had a great attitude. She did everything and did it well. It was perfect."

DUC: "She was married at the time?"

Ben: "She was."

DUC: "How long did it take for you guys to get involved?"

Ben: "A few months. I have a strong sense of integrity that you shouldn't mess around with models you represent and obviously she was married. That's a double no-no. But of course as I got to know her..."

DUC: "Your integrity went out the window?"

Ben: "I wouldn't say that but I did learn that all wasn't sweetness in her marriage."

DUC: "When did you start working together?"

Ben: "Fairly quickly. I worked as talent as well as representing girls."

DUC: "Did the adult industry play a role in breaking up her marriage?"

Ben: "I don't think so. That question is better posed to her.

"I returned to Los Angeles in 2001. I'd found myself working fulltime in adult."

DUC: "How would you compare the industry here to the industry in London?"

Ben: "There really is no comparison. About eighty percent of adult material shot in the US is shot in the San Fernando Valley. Most UK companies and photographers are not ok. Mostly its amateurish and cheesy and the pay is low. There are more sharks around [in the UK]."

DUC: "What do you love and hate about the industry?"

Ben: "I love being around uninhibited people. The more people you meet, it becomes like an extended family. I like going to the conventions or award shows. I appreciate and admire the people in the industry who have championed the way for the rest of us, like Larry Flynt... The people who've made the industry more mainstream and more generally accepted.

"What do I hate? Not much. Though it's much better here than the UK, I hate that we still have to deal with unprofessional models."

JASONCURIOUS.COM EXCLUSIVE:

DEVINN LANE SINGLE AT LAST: I spoke with Devinn Lane yesterday on the phone, who just wrapped production on the second season of Playboy TV’s hit reality-based show, Seven Lives Exposed. Lane tells me this season should be particularly interesting, as it follows her through the course of her recent breakup with a certain well-known soap stud she’s been dating for a couple of years now. Now that the heartache is over, Lane says she’s happy to be single again and the two are still “very good friends.” Look for the season premiere of Seven Lives Exposed on Sunday, October 27th.

JOEY RAY GOT MARRIED!: Ran into straight XXX video actor, Joey Ray, this weekend, who tells me he got hitched last month! I couldn’t believe the stud had been keeping it under wraps for so long. “You know what they say; don’t ask, don’t tell,” he smiled with a wink. Glad I asked, huh?

Ray wedded adult video production manager, formerly known as Tiffany Shanahan, once married to director Jim Enright and the sister of pornstress Paula Price. The two had been “seriously involved” for nearly two years when they decided to become Mr. and Mrs. during a trip to Las Vegas with friends on August 17th. The group of porn alumni that included Kitten, Marc Davis, Tyler Faith, Bella Donna, Champagne Star, and Gina Ryder, stayed at the MGM Mansion, a special hotel behind the MGM Grand, reserved only for high-rollers.

Tiffany Shanahan met Joey Ray at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo two years ago, right in front of her former husband, Jim Enright. Two weeks after meeting him, Shanahan left Enright and moved in with Ray. They’ve been living and loving together ever since.

Jason Curious writes in his Diary entry: "[I]f there’s anything I’ve learned about sex with women, it’s that they’re very fickle. One minute they’re turned on like crazy, dripping wet – and then the smallest thing happens (or in this instance, doesn’t happen) and they’re ready to call it a night."

Jeremy Steele On The Great Issues

Jeremy Steele (jeremysteelexx@hotmail.com) writes: This is a draft of an article I was working on in my yahoo group before it got frozen. I was going in a few directions but managed to stay on one path in regards to the subjects of the influences of porn on society, and the question of it's extremes.

So who the hell in this oftentimes hell world loves war? Some argue, the industrial military complex, as well as those in the know who forsaw a complete economic collapse prior to September 11, 2001, as well as "fundamentalist" religious leaders and followers who anticipate the "chosen ones" attaining their homeland at any price, or Armageddon, depending.

Oh, let me not forget, because it is within the realm of possibility that this list includes big porn production companies who once had the menacing attention of the republican monster which calls itself "family values" government diverted away from them for an indefinite period.

But, just in case the world doesn't end anytime soon, the porn industry still faces the possibility of a "judgement day" of it's own. It is possible that some believe that all who participate in this industry are evil, regardless, and are therefore damned, and so that, furthermore, there need not be much concern, anyway, about who does what and what goes on in the porn business, both in front of and behind the camera. It's assumed by many, perhaps, that lack of integrity and ethics is just part of the balling field.

But this is a legitimate and legal business... and a humungous business.. raking in more money each year than the average person can fathom. In a world which proclaims an "epidemic" called "AIDS", it is a safe alternative. In a world where sex has always been sold, and always will, and with the easy, safe and anonymous access of video and cable t.v... and with taboos to the subject of sex and the indulgence of sexuality collectively waning, and with the ever withering value of the dollar and the shining temptation porn holds as an alternative to wage-earning compared to legalized slavery aka minimum or near-minumum wage.. porn is big f---ing business!

But what is it about porn in this insane world which still has many (and not just untra-conservatives and the like) looking down upon it as s---, as something contemptible, and worthy of being snuffed out from society? Is it that it has to do with sex? Well, if that's the case, porn is much better for both adults and kids to watch than violence, which they can find during any run of popular movies, video games, backyard and world wrestling and Saturday morning cartoons. I mean, is it better that an 11 year old is involved in sex or murders someone because of what they saw on the idiot box? We certainly live in a f---ed-up world.

So, for most it's not just that it's sex. Is it that it's sex on film or tape? Well, so what? We watch animals involved in mating on the Discovery channel. So, it must not be the sex, or the sex being captured for posterity, but the nature in which the sex is made. That could include an overemphasis on the sex act itself, as if all other elements of life and experience are meaningless and worthless, and that all human activity is but one collective formality to an eventual f---, as well as the endless pairings of seemingly non-monogamous couples and groups thrust into whorish situations.

But regardless how one feels "morally", sex is always a desire, an entertainment, an attraction to experience.. hopefully first hand... or at least in voyeuristic fashion. Sex, arguably is a need, regardless of one's ethics or philosophy.. a need that never dies.. even in a dying world.

What is the obsession with porn? Firstly, obsession usually has to do with repression, and ours is arguably a neo-victorian society. Victorian society, despites it's mores and ways, turns out to have been the most prolific period of underground "pornographic" literature of any in recorded history. Incorporation of sex as a normal part of life is what inevitably helps to balance out one's emphasis of it, with other aspects of living.

We live in a society which has long been indoctrinated with school chairs, rote memory and regurgitation of stored information, with competition taught as a good thing. We are not really being educated because the very word comes from the word "educe", which means to draw or bring out, or elicit. We are not really involved in learning, but programming. We typically are not taught much if anything about important matters such as interpersonal communication, societal ethics, comparative religions or philosophy; the concepts of community, consciousness and an inherant sense of right and wrong. We are taught only that we should make the highest grade in order to get the best job. We are never taught how to express our deepest, most important, heart-felt and desire-filled feelings, or how to grow in puberty, not just with growing sexuality, but growing emotional and psychological needs, as well. With television and movies we've learned to think less and less. We have smaller vocabularies.. we are more estranged, alone.. a stranger in a strangeland.. one which more than ever portrays violence both on the news and in video games, movies and cartoons, like it's just a joke.

Again, we live in a world, where the value of the dollar is ever shrinking, the idea of work ethics becomes more worthless, not only because of the typical lack of monetary reward for it, but the overemphasis of entertainment or escapism as a service/commodity. Entertainment is something, which, although brings pleasure (hopefully), gives nothing production-wise monetarilly. But in a world which is set up on global exploitation, stocks, and risks, monopolies, buyouts, war, debt, deception, scandal.. ie: godless greed with no thought of a tomorrow, is the "sex on tape for entertainment" business so bad?

PBS's Documentary: "American Porn" focused on the proliferation of porn, how it has doubled it's gigantic profits within the last 5 years, officially. And who knows, with all the companies who pay cash, and all the amateur footage made and sold how much more the total might be? Companies like AT&T are part of the action via cable, and raking it in, as well. Pornography has a strong, yet unacknowledged influence on society. The documentary didn't talk about how several universities have courses on pornography in sociology class, and actually watch movies like "Behind The Green Door", and others, including modern flicks, and talk about it's impact on society. Imagine sitting in a class while watching a porn flick? It's been said, generally, that the guys want the teacher to fast forward through the acting to the sex, and the women, vice versa. And how much of a coincidence is it, shows like Sex in the City, not only coming into existence, but topics such as "rimming" and anal sex, while porn has anal sex as part the rote and ritual of the average regimen?

PBS said without substantiating it, that "It is the very mainstreaming of sexual content on cable that is forcing some pornographers to try to go even further." FORCING? Well, a company, which is was referring to, Extreme Associates hasn't been "forced" in any way, whatsover. It's had decent distribution, already, which in fact is the foundation which has allowed it to push the envelope further.

"I'm about to put her through Hell", explains Lizzy Borden, about her friend, Veronica Caine, as she's now known as. The interviewer asks in an empathetic way, almost pleading way "Why?". But, she never answers. Instead she is caught up talking to the other actors and actresses about the set up. It is explained that Veronica is about to be essentially raped on camera; beaten (hit for real), spit on, f---ed in the cunt and ass, and in the end they will pretend to cut her throat and leave her in a pool of blood. It's ok, Lizzy says, because Veronica "...can take it. She's my best friend, and when it's done I'll give her a big hug and we'll go shopping" (Well a girl's favorite phrase is "When the going gets tough the tough go shopping.")

The documentary narrarates: "We were here because this is one of the places where ponr is now regularly pushing the limits, but this was more than what we bargained for, and while it APPEARED that what was happening was legally consensual, we left. This incident, though, caused us to wonder not just about the content but about the human cost."

But Rob Black was self-assured when he stated that "the people", whoever they are, are bored with regular porn, and that's why they are buying his product. What an interesting group of "people" Black must have in mind who shoot there loads watching women getting raped and then their throat cut? Yeah, Rob, that does it for me everytime. Just kidding, for those who don't comprehend sarcasm.

Perhaps in my worst form of rage I've ever felt in my life for some woman, specifically, who's done something really f---ing evil to me I might've possibly had the flash in my mind (I'm not saying I have), and although this s--- disgusts me as much as it did the documentary filmmakers, I'm still of a liberal minority who would defend the right to stage something like this is it followed some string of logic, even maddened logic.. with maybe the perpetrators getting justice done to them by a Clint Eastwood type in the end. But, I think what's so f---ing disturbing about s--- like this is that it is wanton behavior against someone innocent for no reason at all. That's the scary part. And it definitely is NOT the community standard. A movie could be made where a guy's balls are simulatedly cut off after he raped some girl, but with that you know the girl's motivation, not that you are defending her action, but at least it's not violence for sheer violence's sake. THAT'S what is really f---ed up about Extreme Associate's material.

Larry Flynt comments: "If you've got a video that's indefensible.. to try to take a hard-line position for yourself.. you're not going to do anything but harm yourself and harm the industry."

Flynt's statement is correct. But perhaps that's what someone like Rob Black's intention is. There are people in the world aptly called Sado-Masochists; people who get pleasure from pain; both other's and even their own. One who has, for whatever reasons, learned to connect one with the other, whether it's a strict, severe or even violent upbringing coupled with alienation and fear or inability to interpersonally relate with someone... to project a tough guy stance, when one secretly feels like something else, etc... One can say that this business stands as an opportunity for certain people to both create their fantasies and to profit off it, and do so legally because it manages to fall into the title of "entertainment only", whereas, if this business wasn't legal, then some of the things which are perpetrated not only in this industry, but in other entertainment industries, like backyard and other wrestling would be criminal behavior.

I'm a big fan of Pride and Ultimate Fighting Championships, and witnessing the various fighting styles employed of grappling and kickboxing.. as far as other stuff, it's sado-masochism... a form of entertainment which seems to be the oftentimes the forplay of people on self-destruct mode, participated in by people who may be just be doing it because it offers a financial means of subsistence which typically evades them. To me, a person caught up in the middle in both sadism and masochism, embodies simutaneously the will to be both master and slave, and can end up self-destructing based on, in part, inability or unwillingness to act more proactively in either direction. Many seperate the two, and depending on the circumstances or people associated with, can embody either characteristic of dominate or submissive. But again, some just want to self destruct because of a sense of inevitable, insoluable alienation from everything, and the association with pain as the only accepted, chosen or able way of reaching out.

From political scientist Eric Fromm's "The Art of Loving", he writes: "The passive form of symbiotic union (the biological pattern between the pregnant mother and the foetus) is that of submission, or if we use the clinical term, masochism. The masochistic person escapes from the unbearable feeling of isolation and separateness by making himself part and parcel of another person who directs him, guides him, protects him... the power of the one to whom one submits is inflated, may he be a person or god; he is everything, I am nothing, escept in as much as I am part of him. As a part, I am part of greatness, of power, of certainty. The masochistic person does not have to make decisions, does not have to take any risks; he is never alone- but he is not independent; he has no integrity; he is not yet fully born. In a religious context the object of worship is called an idol; in a secular context of a masochistic lvoe relationship the essential mechanism, that of idolatry, is the same. the masochistic mechanism, that of idolatry, is the same. the masochistic relationship can be blended with physical, sexual desire; in this case it is not only a submission in which one's mind participates, but also one's whole body. There can be masochistic submission to fate, to sickness, to rhythmic music, to the orgiastic state produced by drugs or under hynotic tranc- in all these instances the person renounces his integrity, makes himself the instrument of somebody or something outside of himself; he need not solve the problem of living by productive activity.

The active form of symbiotic fusion is domination, or to use the psychological term, sadism. The sadistic person wants to escape from his aloneness and his sense of imprisonment by making another person part and parcel of himself. He inflates and enhances himself by incorporating another person who worships him.

The sadistic person is as dependent on the submissive person as the latter is on the former; neither can live without the other. The difference is only that the sadistic person commands, exploits, hurts, humiliates, and that the masochistic person is commanded, exploited, hurt, humiliated. This is a considerable difference in a realistic sense; in a deeper emotional sense, the difference is not so great as that which they have in common; fusion without integrity. If one understands this, it is also not surprising to find that usually a person reacts in both the sadistic and the masochistic manner, usually toward different objects. Hitler reacted primarily in a sadistic manner toward people, but masochistically toward fate; history the "higher power" of nature. His end, suicide among nerneral destruction is as characteristic as was his dream of success - total domination.

In contrast to symbiotic union; mature love is union under the condition of preserving one's integrity, one's individuality. Love is an active power in man; a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow man, which unites him with others; love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separatness, yet it permits him to be himself, to retain his integrity. In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one yet remain two."

So, in conclusion, the word "integrity" stated more than once, by Fromm is a key one. Integrity comes from self-respect, and without self-respect, you will not respect others. And if you can't resepect yourself or others, you become more and more severally detached and disassociated from "reality" and people in general. It can advance into more severe stages, as we've witnessed by certain entities. Am I on to something? Of course, there's the historical influences of Religion and Nationalism and other isms. But now, back to the subject of gisms...

Pat Riley Write A Book On Porn Stars?

Pat Riley writes on RAME about a suggestion he write a book on porn stars: There's no or insufficient market. Do you really think that anyone outside of a tiny number of ardent porn fans has even heard of the people you speak of? And, contrary to the views of some and the wishes of the industry, the quantity of that level of porn fan is minuscule. One of the Mitchell biographies about which I had inside information at the time and which had much wider human interest appeal (since it concerned homicide) was a loss for the publisher.

Even myself, looking at your list, would have grave misgivings about shelling out for such a book. I just don't give a f--- who screwed Sharon Mitchell when she was drunk. Could have been Bigfoot. Or who almost bit Rocco's dick off. If she really had have it would have rid the world of another asshole but even then I don't want to know exactly what happened. And so on...

For most people porn is all the same; for me it's like eating. Once in a while you have an orgasmic experience (metaphorically for food; literally for porn) but when it's over and you've digested the food and disposed of the Kleenex, it's over. Tomorrow is another day and the search for the new (and orgasmic) begins afresh.

Referencing TheEroticReview.com

Jillian Star writes: Hello Gentlemen, I would like to bring attention to a very important issue. Both Sinnamon Love and I have been approached via email and telephone from gentlemen that would like to book an appointment with her, using the names of well known hobbyists on the board as a reference.

Please note, while a hobbyist may recommend that you meet a lady, IT IS NOT considered to be a referral in itself, and does not qualify you to automatically meet Miss Love or any other provider. Considering the anonimity of the web, your correspondence with another gent does not offer the verification needed to make Miss Love comfortable enough to meet with you.

Please understand this and realize that completion of the reservation form in order to allow verification is ABOSLUTELY necessary in order to schedule an appointment. While we all wish that the hobby was a lot simpler, we do have the safety and security of the ladies at hand, and will not negate this in order to satisfy simple pleasures. Name Dropping does not make you a legitmate hobbyist, nor does it mean you are not LE.

I hate to be rude on this point, but if you are not willing to follow the necessary procedures in order to book an appointment, please do not waste our time, nor your own by contacting us. Also, please note that when booking an appointment, take into account that a review may be a guideline, but it is not final. It should not be expected that what one person does during a 2, 3, or 4 hour booking, will happen when you book a 1 hour appointment. Sinnamon is more than willing to be accommodating, but has expressed the frustration of gentlemen that are using reviews that others have posted as a bargaining tool when they are paying for a less amount of time.

Keep in mind, when you book a longer meeting, it allows time to indulge in all the fantasies you may have. It simply isn't possible to cram a lifetime's worth of fantasies into an hour... and shouldn't be expected to. I hope that everyone takes into consideration that a lady has a right to refuse to see someone, and that verification is a necessary porcedure in order to provide a certain comfort level. I also hope that if you desire to meet Miss Love you'll take into consideration that she enjoys recieving pleasure as much as giving it during a session... and won't change her policies as they are designed to allow the enjoyment of two... not just one. While this may not be a popular position, it seems to have no complaints so far, except from those that have had to be turned away... In saying that, don't forget to meet Sinn in NYC this week, (10/2 - 7) and in Atlantic City during ECVS (10/8-10/10)!

Private Chapter 37

Thomas Sjoberg, thomas-sjoberg@swipnet.se, a Swedish journalist who's written a book on Berthe Milton Jr and Sr and their Private corporation, seeks an English language publisher for his work.

Budapest. The Taverna is a non-descript, four-star Central European hotel in the center of Budapest on Váci utca, a popular walking street lined with shops selling furs, jewelry, souvenirs, jeans, shoes, porcelain dolls, sunglasses and overpriced knick-knacks. Over the hotel's entrance facing the shopping street, national flags fluttered listlessly in the afternoon breeze. There was France, Germany, England, Sweden and the EU-flag with its ring of gold stars on a blue background; an indication of the country's anxious dream of full membership in the enormous bureaucratic colossus known as the European Union, which is supposed to guarantee peace and harmony in Europe and a more even distribution of its many resources.

The Taverna was a member of the Hungarian Convention Bureau --- according to the hotel's website, a prestigious designation --- and confident that it was an important part of the country's official representation and incentive tourism program. The hotel's various restaurants were responsible for catering when the country's most important politicians were hosting guests. Indeed, the hotel had been named Official Caterer to Parliament.

Pierre Woodman checked in to the Taverna on a dry, cold snow-less Friday in January 2000. The hotel proceeded with its standard, uniform guest service. The restaurant filled at breakfast, lunch and dinner with hungry, whiny tourists. The man at the piano played his eternal mellow music whether you liked it or not.

And then, of course, there was the discreet treatment of the regular guest in room 301.

Woodman was there to make sure Private had new models. He was at one end of the company's giant porn factory. He was there to drain Hungary of its young, beautiful girls, who wanted some of the wealth that might be waiting for them just around the corner, who were intrigued by the money, travel and possibly the sex itself --- and to that extent they knew the real reason behind Woodman's work at the Taverna. Or perhaps they really thought there was a chance to land a proper fashion job.

Woodman said there were always girls who liked sex --- they either fantasized about it or they had just started to explore it with their boyfriends. Some had slept with a bunch of people; others were completely inexperienced but curious.

It was, of course, no coincidence that Woodman was in Budapest. Porn had been legal in Hungary for a couple of years (the country had historically been "the exit to the east," as he put it) and he compared it to Sweden, where he said you could always meet a woman at a bar and go home with her for the night, but you could never get a Swedish girl to take part in a casting, except on rare occasions.

In Hungary, it was the opposite. Here you could rarely count on a one-night-stand, but it was always easy to find girls for a casting. It was partly about money, he said. In Sweden, women earned enough money to resist his propositions. Swedish women saw Woodman as a monster. That he could live with. In Hungary, though, money was a powerful motivator. The chance to earn 300 - 500 U.S. dollars for the first movie was often an irresistible temptation. But there was another reason he was there. The debate about and awareness of sexual equality hadn't developed in Hungary as much as it had in the West. And, Private's products weren't for sale on the market in any easily recognizable way. The risk for the girls of being exposed at the magazine stand was minimal, which, in turn, lowered the risk that their families would find out about what they were doing.

Woodman was at the hotel to find girls that fit his, and Private's, requirements -- girls that fit the porn industry template based on 10 years of experience of what sold best. Currently that meant anal sex and double penetration, cascades of sperm on the girls' faces and gangbangs. And blowjobs, of course, or fellatio, or whatever you want to call it -- it was a classic scene that always satisfied the male audience.

Woodman wanted the models needed to look as young as possible, he was milking the Lolita trend for all it was worth. But he was also careful not to work with anyone below the 18-year-old age limit. That had happened once before; when Private found out about the faux pas, distribution of the film was stopped immediately, at least in the French market. If it had come out that one of the models - her name was Sasha - hadn't yet turned 18 when Golden Triangle was filmed in Bali, it could have caused Private's brand irreparable damage before its upcoming entry to the Nasdaq stock market in the United States. This was aside from the purely legal and moral aspects of the situation, of course.

The models would also be the most beautiful young women one could find. "Baby faces," was what Woodman was looking for. And they should be from the East - Hungary, the Czech Republic and Russia. Woodman had agencies in Budapest, Bratislava and Moscow and the local markets went crazy when he came to town.

For Woodman, being a pornographer was a gift from God and he never tried to hide what he was doing. It's possible he occasionally stepped over the line, but who was checking? According to his own calculations, he met between 600 and 800 girls a year, 250 of which would end up in a Private production. He had sex with about 250 of the hopeful models each year. In a single weekend he could meet 40 - 60 girls. Every month he spent between 20,000 and 30,000 U.S. dollars searching for new faces. The constant search for young women cost him about 1 million German marks every year, he said.

"And it's my money, not Privates. But I don't complain you know, it's my game. Berth never asks me to do this. He knows about it and is happy. And that's why I believe he respects me. He knows that I am 100 percent focused on Private's and Berth's success."

Woodman was accompanied by Gabriella Wolf, a 25-year-old blond who had been in a number of Private productions but had decided to give it up to become the Frenchman's talent scout in the Hungarian capital. She ran the Hungarian Private Agency together with Laszlo -- or Leslie, as it said on his business card - a former car salesman, ex boyfriend to Gabriella and a pleasant guy with kind eyes who wore stonewash jeans, a loud shirt and sneakers. Gabriella, Miss Hungary 1994, was pretty, easy to talk to and said herself that she liked to get in the face, preferably from many guys at once.

Woodman had a busy weekend ahead of him. He was going to meet up to 40 girls between 18 and 20 years old. He would personally call a few of them up to room 301, interview them about their experience and sexual fantasies, ask them to take off their clothes and take up the position on the bed - which meant getting on all fours, spreading your legs, arching your back and sticking your ass up in the air - and then comment on their physical assets.

He would videotape the whole thing and take stills with his Polaroid. And he would have sex with a bunch of them, in order to show them that anal sex was the ultimate pleasure. Even that would be filmed so that it could later be edited, but not censured, and sold on the market as part of the Woodman Casting series, which was Private's third-best-selling film label. So far about 20 or 30 of the films had been released and they were all authentic.

On each VHS tape, there was room for a handful of castings with the girls, who later signed contracts, took HIV tests and were then made-up, shaved, plucked and styled and used in two or three Private productions, films and/or magazines. That was the usual lifecycle for a model. Woodman didn't want to work with girls longer than that. He wanted to work with virgins, which meant they were virgins in the true sense of the word or hadn't yet worked in the porn industry. Only a few were promoted by Private and industry media as stars, allowing their face to pop up in films and magazines for many years.

Aside from his duties in room 301, that weekend Woodman would also find time for a photo shoot for one of Private's magazines and a scene for the third part of the gonzo-series known as Superf---ers.

Cindi Loftus Reports

Video Team’s No Man’s Land series has always been very popular. Fans love to watch a bunch of beautiful women get it on. But this special edition of No Man’s Land- Legends is exceptional. Ten of the biggest names in the business were brought together to show us what really hot lesbian sex is all about. This is one of the hottest movies ever made. I had the honor to do an interview with a lot of stars. Want to hear what’s up with Bionca Seven, Asia Carrera, Kim Chambers, Nina Hartley, Jeanna Fine, Sharon Kane, Porsche Lynn, Teri Weigel, Amber Lynn and Jeannie Pepper?  Read on…

Bionca Seven- Her peaceful, loving spirit, along with her relationship with Bruce Seven have taken her far in the adult industry. She is currently one of the top female directors.

Bionca directed and starred in “Legends,” that’s quite a feat to begin with. She has directed quite a few fabulous movies. Or maybe I should put that another way- Because of Bionca’s fantastic direction her movies are always big sellers. Bionca started in the movies as an actress; she then met and married Bruce Seven. She has grown so much in the industry that she is now a sought after director. Directing No Man’s Land “Legend’s” has proven that Bionca belongs in the big leagues. She pulled this film off with no squabbles and no attitudes. She took ten strong women who happen to be HUGE adult stars and turned them into the ensemble cast of “Friends” Every body got along. As a matter of fact you can feel the loving atmosphere just watching the movie. Bionca exudes positiveness and it certainly encompassed her cast. She has a gift for bringing the best out in people. Bionca said she loved making this movie and all the people in Legends. She’s starting to become a Legend herself!

Asia Carrera-She’s still shy after all these years. But her funny, sarcastic sense of humor and her Mensa intelligence level have taken her to the top, right where she belongs.

X: Hi Asia. Thanks for talking to me on such short notice!

A: Well I didn’t want you to write that I was a flake on Luke F-rd (.com)!

X: So someone does actually read that gossip site! I would never say anything bad about you, I think you are wonderful. You’ve been in the industry a long time. But I am looking at your picture on this box cover and you look like you are 25.

A: I got asked for ID the other day. I get carded all the time. I am 29.

X: That’s fabulous. It must make you feel really good when that happens. How does it feel to be a Legend at 29?

A: I was pissed at Christian Mann (owner of Video Team), what do you mean legend? (laughs) I’m not dead yet!

X: Well it was definitely an honor to be chosen, even though you are so young. What was the best thing about making this movie?

A: I really liked working with Bionca. It was free-wheeling. I’m used to working scripted. Working without a script was really fun.

X: What is your favorite scene?

A: Definitely the orgy at the end. They spread out this huge piece of black plastic for us to have the orgy on and then everyone was squirting all over it. I felt sorry for the owners of the house.

X: I wouldn’t want to be the P.A. that had to clean that up. Did any bad things happen?

A: No. It was wonderful. You’d think with all those divas, there’d be attitude. But there was none. It was like a slumber party.

X: I loved this movie. Do you think there will be a Legends 2?

A: Legends 2? Maybe we could do it in wheelchairs!

X: I love your sense of humor. You are so funny. Everyone needs to check out your website AsiaCarrera.com because you certainly show your comedic side there!

Kim Chambers-The perfect specimen of a woman, look no farther.

X: I saw you in the movie. You are really buff. You must work out a lot.

K: I do.

X: I saw that you got applause for your squirt in the orgy scene.

K: Oh I did? I haven’t seen the movie yet. Ya know when you are in the moment, you don’t remember anything. I just know I had a really good time.

X: That has to be the best all star cast that ever was in one movie.

K: I was really happy to be included on that.

X: Are you old enough to be a legend?

K: I don’t think so. I’m 28. I’ve been in this for business 10 years. I guess that’s quite a long time.

X: What was your favorite part of making that movie?

K: All the sex! (laughs) Working with Sharon Kane was really fun. The orgy scene- just looking around and seeing the people that I have looked up to and have always wanted to work with, and some of the people that I have worked with in the past that are my friends for years. The cast is what made it the most fun. I was working with a bunch of pros; I didn’t have to worry about anything. Everybody knew exactly what they were doing.

X: That’s probably why the sex was so good.

K: If you ask me what the most memorable part of it was, I’m going to say ALL OF IT! All of it was really fun.

X: Well Sharon seemed to really enjoy you in the shower!

K: Well my husband, Scott Styles was at that shoot, and ever since that day he’s had a crush on her. He thinks she’s really cute and bubbly. She did a shoot for Vivid recently and he finally got to work with her and he was ecstatic.

X: Well what I like about your scene with Sharon is that you started out kissing and ended up kissing.

K: She’s a great kisser cuz of those lips! The other part of the making the movie that I found very hot was when Jeanna Fine was talking dirty in my ear.

X: I noticed that she really has a mouth on her!

K: She’s talks like a dirty sailor.

X: Was there sex going on when the camera was not rolling?

K: I can only speak for myself, and yes I was constantly having sex when the camera was not on me.

X: What is new with you?

K: Well I am merging all my sites. When you go to any of my four sites, you will get all of my four sites. KimChambers.com

X: I’ll look for you there!

Nina Hartley-If you look up the definition of timeless beauty, class and elegance you will find the name Nina Hartley as number 1.

 Nina: Hi Cindi

X: HI! It’s so nice to talk to you. I loved this movie. You guys were so good. And you were the gang leader, the trouble maker.

N: I usually end up in that position, which is fine. I am known as the instigator.

X: The scenes were very hot. It really seemed like everybody liked, even loved each other.

N: I hadn’t seen Porsche Lynn or Jeannie Pepper in ages. I hadn’t seen Amber or Teri Weigel in ages. It was great to see all these girls and then get naked with them. I had a lot of fun. I brought my strap-on but nobody wanted it so I didn’t get a chance to use it. One of my fans said, “With all those girls, you didn’t f--- one of them?” I said I brought it, I offered it and nobody said yes, what are you gonna do?

X: That’s just too bad. Well I have talked to Asia and Kim so far.

N: Oh that scene with Kim at the end, when Jeanna Fine was talking dirty in her ear, and she was jerking off and I was helping, oh my God that was so hot.

X: And then she squirted all over the place.

N: All over. She asked Jeanna to come and talk dirty to her, so that must have been something that Kim was into. I have never really heard Jeanna’s dirty talk, although I know it is something she is famous for. It was pretty tremendous.

X: Well you were terrific. You were definitely in charge. You even directed a little bit.

N: When you get that many bodies together, someone has to take over traffic control or you’re just going to have one big mess in the middle.

X: Well Kim told me that she was having sex whether the camera was on or not.

N: Oh absolutely. That’s the only way to do an orgy. That’s why you get people like us who like what they are doing because we are freaks. The reason I always tell people I got into porn was for the pussy! Let’s face it; it’s not difficult for women to get laid by a guy. It’s a lot harder to find a woman that would do the same thing. So for me, porno was all about other bi-sexual women.

X: What other movies do you have coming out?

N: Ernest (Green, Nina’s fiancé) and I started making movies together. He produces and directs and I star in them. I got to work with Jenna (Jameson) finally, boy she is so hot. I had no idea. She’s tiny. Petite and pretty. We haven’t chosen a title yet.

X: So Jenna was submissive and you were dominant in that one?

N: Yes. The only person I submit to on camera is Ernest. So I am basically dominant with everybody else except him. It’s my nature. One that makes my relationship so special is that he is the only man I’ve ever found that I like to submit to. That’s how I knew there was something special. Ernest gets something out of me that no other person can get. When you have had as many partners as I’ve had, that’s worth paying attention to, someone who does you that way. I’ve done a bunch of BDSM videos with him for Bizarre Pictures. “Leather Bound Dyke from Hell 17,18,19, 20” “Spiked Hell Diaries”  We just did two that are not yet released called “Nina Hartley’s Private Sessions”

X: Those are the ones I want to see. I’ll look for them on your website, Nina.com.

N: Well I did a four-way.  Brittany O’Conner, Rick O’Shea, Ernest and myself. Brittany is just about the cutest, sweetest little tasty morsel ya ever did see. I have a thing for red-heads and she is just a doll. I’m doing a lot of fetish stuff and I like it. I am a sensual Dom, not a mean one. I don’t call people names or anything like that. It’s all about making them feel really good. 

X: I’m looking at the picture of you on this Legend’s box cover…

N: Oh wasn’t that a nice day. Good makeup job.

X: You look gorgeous.

N: I was really happy that day. It was so much fun. I’ve always liked Chris Mann (owner of Video Team). He’s always been good to me. He’s always been respectful and nice. He has a good attitude toward women.

X: How does it feel to be called a legend?

N: Ya know that’s what happens when you refuse to quit! From 1984-88 I was hot s---. It was the neatest thing. I won all these awards. Then from 88-93, I couldn’t get jobs. People kept saying, aren’t you retired? I haven’t seen you in ages. They wanted me to retire. They didn’t know what to do with a woman who stayed around. By the time I’d been in ten years, oh well, then I became a legend. Now, in March will be nineteen years for me. Now they realize they are not getting rid of me. So you become a legend just by not dying and not leaving.

X: (cracking up)

N: I’ve never retired or had a come back. I’ve always been an active player. I stayed around because this is my home now. I don’t want to be anywhere else. I’m starting to get the parts like somebody’s mother, a doctor, an authority figure. It’s sort of a hoot actually. The new women in the business are young enough to be my daughter. I really don’t stress much about getting older. I am happy in love and happy in work. It takes a few years to get to where I am. I like being the one who is not in spandex. That’s not my job anymore.

X: No, you are more like a glamour queen.

N: In the beginning I was the third girl on the left in spandex. I did Ron Jeremy a whole bunch of times. I keep saying you can’t really be a porn star until you have done Ron Jeremy at least once.

X: I love Ron Jeremy.

N: He’s a sweetie pie. People like to talk s--- about him, but he’s always been a kind and good person. And he never takes advantage of you, unless you let him. If you tell him to back off, he will. He’s very polite that way. Ron Jeremy was a really good lesson for me. He’s the first person where I had to learn to set my boundaries. As soon as I started doing that he would pay attention. He’s a kind and nice person, with a good sense of humor.

X: Well you are a brilliant, elegant, loving, giving, drop dead gorgeous superstar. (No I am not being a kiss ass, I REALLY mean it)

N: Thank you. Call me anytime!

Jeanna Fine- While her beauty and brains got her in the race, her dirty mouth took her to the finish line.  Jeanna is famous for her dirty talk. It really turns the girls on as you can see throughout this movie. I was supposed to give Jeanna a wake up call to do our interview, unfortunately, my three phone calls didn’t wake her up, so I never got to hear her sexy voice. I was really hoping I would get to experience her “Legend”ary dirty talk first hand. Oh well, I can always watch the movie again.

Sharon Kane- Not just a superstar but an icon.

Xcitement: So you have been working your butt off lately, huh?

Sharon: Well I do a lot of production stuff, production assistant, production manager, behind the scenes stuff and that is the stuff that drains me because it takes so many hours.

X: I saw No Man’s Land-Legends. How does it feel to be called a Legend?

S: It’s a strange thing. I don’t feel like one. I don’t feel like a legend. I feel like someone who has been around, for a really long time! (laughs) They can call me what ever they want. I don’t see myself in a glorified position or anything. It just seems like I’ve been doing this a really long time, and that’s either a really good thing or a really bad thing depending on how I feel about it at the moment. I’m just a normal person.

X: I saw your scene with Kim and it was amazing. It was so hot.  I talked to Kim and she said that YOU were so hot. She said that she had an instant connection with you.

S: She’s the best. She’s just really, really, really wonderful. They called me and said you can do a scene with Kim Chambers, and I really didn’t know who she was. I had never worked with her in the past. Working with her was a pleasant surprise. She is just a wonderful person to work with, professionally and sensuously.

X: Do you watch your own movies?

S: Not very often. I like watching the acting. I did a great movie for Vivid recently. I had a great role in it. I would probably watch that. I have done over 900 movies and they all run together after while, being the Legend that I am. (laughs)

X: Have you ever worked in any jobs outside the adult industry?

S: No, not really. I’ve stuck close to the industry.  I always wanted to be an artist, or a musician. I’m just kind of an all around renaissance person. The adult industry gave me the space to be more of a creative individual. Most of my life I have been doing movies, and I have a lot of time to learn to play the guitar or study voice or philosophy or what ever I wanted. All the things that I wanted to do were not in a professional field like business or medicine. Now I am 46 and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life!

X: When did you make your first movie?

S: 1976.

X: Wow! That was a long time ago. You were a baby.

S: I was 20 years old. I look at the 20 year olds now and think I wasn’t that young when I was 20. I always felt much older.

X: Do you feel 46?

S: No. Now I feel 20! (laughing)

X: Well let me tell you, you look really good.

S: Thank you so much!

X: Do you have a website?

S: I am trying to get the SharonKane.com name back. The dot net is available. So I am working on getting a site up. I don’t know yet if it will be dot net or dot com. I think my site will be more “the history of” type of site. So just tell everyone to keep an eye out for me.

X: Well it was great talking to you! I hope to meet you in person. Are you going to the AVN awards?

S: I might. Someone said I might be getting nominated for something. That would be great!

X: Yes it would! Maybe I’ll see you there!

Porsche Lynn- One of the pioneers of the industry. She does this squirt in the orgy scene, man, it lasts about two minutes. Gets me hot just thinking about it. I hear that Porsche has a happy life. She is now teaching people how to handle firearms. If you thought she was hot before, imagine her all done up in weaponry gear…

Teri Weigel-The most beautiful girl in the world, inside and out!

Teri: Hi Cindi, the magazine looks wonderful. Thanks for sending them to me every month. The articles are great. You do a great job.

X: Thank you! I just saw No Man’s Land Legends. You look like you are friggin’ twenty-two years old. How do you do that?

T: I’m trying.

X: Do you have a private plastic surgeon or something?

T: (laughing) Yes, I do.

X: I’ve seen you in a lot of movies. But this shows you in really tight close ups of your face and your side profile, and I’m like you’re so damn cute! It’s just not fair. You look fabulous.

T: Thank you.

X: This is a beautiful box cover.

T: Yeah, it was really fun to do. I was kind of afraid because all these girls were the big stars that were ahead of me and I thought there was going to be attitude problems. But there weren’t. Everybody was really really sweet. Amber Lynn was there and she is one of my best friends. It ended up being really great. It was fun. When we got into the pit, they all attacked me!  So it was so much fun. Hartley just dove right in there and she is the queen of that area. Jeanna Fine and Amber Lynn and I did a scene, and those two girls are the hard asses. So I was kinda scared. I’m like they’re gonna tear me up.

X: They didn’t though. You were pretty tough in there too.

T: I held my own after a while. But in the beginning they wanted to put all the toys in me and I said hey that’s not fair. I gotta do something fun for me too! They were sticking everything up me that was on that table. And Jeanna’s crazy. She’s so good at that talk, and that gets you really excited. It was fun. We were sliding all over that table. I really really had a good time with them. And for the first time I did a strap on in the butt with Amber. I did it really gentle. She loved it. That was the first time I had ever done that. She really wanted it. I don’t do anal, because that is the one thing that I don’t really like. But I don’t mind giving it. That was fun. But the most fun was the orgy. When they were setting up the scene we were all doing the stills, and we were looking at each other like we all want to f--- each other so bad. And then ding, ding, ding, time to shot. We are in the pit and we are all after each other. As soon as we’d get done with one girl, I would cum and then another girl would cum. When they were done with me than it was my turn to go around the group. We had such a great time. It was a fun experience. I am so glad I was there.

X: How does it feel to be called a legend?

T: I don’t know. The first time that was said to me I didn’t know if that meant “old” Certain people say it means you are known, and that’s a good thing.

X: You are at the top of the game, Teri.

T: Well when I first heard it, I thought they wanted to put us on the shelf and we’re done! But later on I realized it was a compliment. I worked hard to get to where I am. So did all the girls. It was almost sad when the movie was over. We kept saying good bye to each other and then not leaving. The scene was over at nine o’clock and I think we stayed there until eleven thirty.

X: I heard that there was a lot of sex going on off camera.

T: Yes. We were playing with each other back in the dressing room while we were talking and people were touching. That is usually the best stuff. It made it easy to do the orgy.

X: When are you coming back to Florida? I’m so upset that I didn’t get to see you when you were just here.

T: Probably in December. Tomorrow I am shooting with Suze Randall. I changed my hair color back to the original color. I’m a brunette. The other day we were at a restaurant and I had a class of wine and they carded me. I said you are kidding me right. I gave him a hug. I said I don’t know who you are but I am hugging you. So I guess the dark hair made a little bit of a difference.

X: Can we see pictures of your new hair color?

T: Yes go to my site.TeriWeigel.com, I’ll have some new ones up there soon.

X: Is there anything else we should mention?

T:  Yes, please tell my fans that I love them!

X: We all love you too!

T: I love you too; it was so great to talk to you!

X: I’ll see you in December!

Amber Lynn- She raised the bar for the way feature dancers are treated. All those who follow in her footsteps should be grateful.

The Amazing Amber. Her beauty is definitely more than skin deep. Her shows are fabulous and she has such a huge stage presence. She wears a mic so she can talk to her audience, and she is funny as hell. When one of the guys in the audience said his friend had a big dick, Amber replied “How do you know?” The whole place cracked up. Then she stated truthfully “I’ve f---ed more people then the whole front row collectively!” That got an envious laugh from the fans in the audience.  I had the privilege of having lunch with Amber when she was in town featuring. So every guys dream, every women’s fantasy was sitting across the table from me in TGI Fridays eating a salad. It was definitely a surreal moment. But once we started talking, it was just like we were gossiping girlfriends. We did manage to talk about this wonderful movie a little. Amber got DP’d with a dildo in one scene. She said she loved it. She also told me that the set was like “Girl’s Night Out.” When Nina Hartley said to Amber “I’m going to have you,” Amber told me that she got instantly wet. But alas, I had lunch with the professional Amber Lynn, not the horny one. Maybe next time…

Jeannie Pepper-Rosa Parks sat on a bus. Jeannie Pepper sat on Ron Jeremy! Both began the journey toward the same goal- Racial Equality.

Xcitement: How did you like getting back together with the women you worked with years ago?

Jeannie: I thought it was the greatest thing that could ever happen.

X: Are you retired?

J: I haven’t officially retired, but I think this will be the year. This is my twentieth year in the business. I wanted to get to that number twenty and what ever happens after that, happens. I have a website JeanniePepper.com, and I still am on the road dancing.

X: So you are featuring?

J: I’m still featuring and doing some magazines, little things here and there. I’ll still do private movies for my website.

X: So you’ve spent your whole career in the adult industry.

J: I didn’t think I would last this long. For me to be the first African American Women to be in the Hall of Fame and survive these twenty years is really amazing.

X: You should be proud of yourself. You opened the door for all the black performers that followed behind you.

J: I have to give myself credit, and I don’t usually.  Because you don’t know what I went through to get here. It was great to see all the girls again. We talked about all the stuff that happened in the 80’s, when we were running around from movie set to movie set, dodging the cops.

X: How did you like the two scenes you did? You did one on the bed; hey they all went after you on the bed.

J: They said Miss Jeannie, we are going to get you. And I said I know why because you guys didn’t get a chance to get me when we were doing movies because we were always missing each other. We were in the same films but we didn’t have scenes together. So Nina knew she was going to get me. So they all ganged up on me. I was the appetite of the day because I was the only black girl there. So it’s funny. I see where I stand out here. You guys are looking at me! But they’re my girlfriends and I love them, so we had no problem. We had a great time.

X: What was the name of the first movie you ever made?

J: The first feature was “Black Taboo.” That was an all black cast.

X: How did you break the color barrier?

J: With Ron Jeremy. I think he is going to be giving me my award at the East Coast Video Show.

X: Wow. You started at the top!

J: Well I used to be a frustrated secretary being chased around my desk by my boss. There was no sexual harassment in those days. So I figured I would get into adult, it was more fun.

X: Congratulations on a very long and successful career.

J: Thank you. I was one of the first girls to go do movies in Europe. I am very well known there.

X: Do you get recognized a lot?

J: I do on the East Coast and sometimes in California. When I go to Europe people know me and my name.

X: You’ve worked all your life to achieve that!

J: Well this is what makes it all worth it; doing the interviews and seeing the fans at the shows, just people realizing what I went through to gain the recognition and respect and acknowledgement that I have. Now black actresses won’t have to go through what I went through. It was hard.

X: They don’t have to, because you broke ground for them.

J: Will we meet someday?

X: I will be at the CES convention in January, will you?

J: Yes I will see you out there.  If I ever come to Florida I will call you so we can hang out!

X: I can’t wait.

AVN Erases Mention Of Matt Zane?

From www.GeneRossExtreme.com, comes an excerpt of a private Fishbein email? Chuck Zane must've forwarded Paul's private email to Gene Ross, an employee of his hated nephew Rob Black Zicari.

Gene writes: Incensed at the candor of Chuck Zane's comments on this website regarding the $20,000 owed by Matt Zane to AVN and AVN's failure to collect, AVN publisher Paul Fishbein has ordered that all vestiges of Matt Zane stories be removed from the AVN archives. Fishbein tells Chuck Zane the following: "By the way, all mention of Matt has been removed from the site and he will get no more press except when my lawsuit hits and he’s forced to pay me. I agree he’s a lowlife but........ Keep in mind that I have a lot to do and although this may be the most important thing in your life, I’m trying to run my company. My staff covers everything and I do not tell them who they can or cannot cover so, oh well, a few things slipped through."

GeneRossExtreme.com reports that Fishbein sent this email 9/30/02 to Chuck Zane (czane1@msn.com): "Classy Chuck. Now I know where I stand. I know your son is a lying prick. However, after all these years of helping you through bankruptcies, taking product when I didn't need it so you didn't have to pay cash, and being a total friend, that's the response I get, as if that's all I'm thinking about in my day. Truth is, YOU owe me $20,000. Not your son. He's a zero and a loser and I;'ll never do business with him. But you owe m,e the money and you've done NOTHING to pay your debt."

DUC says: Fishbein must be stunned. He's had a long relationship with Chuck Zane, helped him out many times by taking his product in exchange for lack of monetary payment, and made sure his ass was covered in AVN... Chuck, who hates his nephew Rob more than anything, just used his Rob’s website. Maybe a family reunion is in order. Maybe Chuck goes to Rob’s house for Thanksgiving? Who does Chuck hate more, his nephew Rob, his son Matt, his ex-wife or Fishbein?

From www.l-keford.com:

10/27/98

I interview the new kid on the block, director Rob Black, AKA Robert Zicari, who owns Extreme Associates.

Luke: "Were you morally moved by your uncle Chuck Zane's guest editorial in the November AVN promoting the use of condoms?"

Rob: "He talks about becoming a grandfather. This is the same person responsible for the government coming out with its latest Child Pornography Act because of Cherry Poppers [a line with actresses 18 years old and older portraying younger girls]. He and Max Hardcore made videos that promoted underage girls. He wanted to do another young girls line. He's re-releasing all the old Cherry Popper videos with Max Hardcore because in some back-ass state they beat that Child Pornography law. You can now buy Cherry Poppers #2, with no condoms and portraying 14-year old girls.

"So you tell me what is morally right and wrong? Me having two consenting adults Tom Byron and Jasmine St. Clair in a 'rape' scene but him portraying a girl to be 14 sucking on a lollipop and saying 'f--- me harder, daddy'?

"My uncle [Chuck Zane] takes German Cherry Poppers. They're made in Germany without rubbers. VCA uses the Ben Dover series which does not usually use rubbers. Is it ok for these guys to buy overseas lines without rubbers?"

Rocker Evan Seinfeld's Romance With Tera Patrick

SOB writes on metalmaniacs.com: Porn stars are by nature drawn to power. Rock stars give off an aura of power because so many people flock to see what they do and say... women love that. Often the easiest time to get a girl to like you sexually is to have many people talk about you favorably and want to talk to you.

Headless Cross writes: Dude dont believe everything you hear or say, especially with a KIKE like Evan Seinfeld. Musician yes, but its not like he is even in any real worthy band... About a year back he was giving interviews that he bagged Shania Twain as well. She denied it and nobody believed it anyways...

Soul writes: I'm pretty sure anyone with a six digit income could f--- a porn star pretty damn easily. Where is the surprise?

A Conversation With Internet Porner Kevin Blatt

Kevin says: John Rudkowski is a big photographer in Hollywood who shoots many porn stars and centerfolds. He's notorious for trading blowjobs for work.

This Girly came out to visit me, the blonde from www.girliescam.com. She comes out to have sex with me and then breaks down crying because she doesn't have a boyfriend. She needs to see me every week. I tell her that I'm not that kind of guy.

I was in Las Vegas last Monday with Evan Horowitz for the X-Threads fashion show. John does a shoot with porn star Britney Star. Girlie sees him. She'd first met him at the Hustler party with me and Dave Cummings.

I told Girlie. Look, I know you're not monogamous. I don't care who you f---, just don't f--- any of my friends.

Girlie gets f---ed up on drugs and has an orgy with four chicks and John Rudkowski. I call her the next day. She's on Xanax and GHB. I asked her what she did last night. She said, 'I f---ed four girls. I was a bad girl.' What was John doing? He was watching. Just watching. 'Yeah, I didn't f--- him.' Oh, you sucked his dick, huh? Yeah. So why don't you call me the next time you have John's dick in your mouth so I can tell you what a whore you are.

I get a phone call Saturday at 8AM. I'm asleep. John has the balls to leave a message on my voicemail. 'Hey, Girlie says you want me to call the next time I have my cock in her mouth and my cock's in her mouth right now.'

If I gave a f--- about this chick, I'd probably kick the sh-- out of him, but since she's such a piece of trash, best of luck.

John's a ballsy guy. I give the guy credit. That's probably something I would've done to somebody.

I wrote to him, "After being with girls as beautiful as Aria Giovanni and Julia Caragia and other beautiful models, how does this girl rate without makeup on in the morning? Regards, KB."
