Whores Lie
Sgt. Stirrer writes: "How cum nobody has noticed that Eeyore McDork's new Vivid opus GIRLS LIE is a blatant rip-off of mainstream porno myso Jeff Stewart's often-repeated mantra "Whores Lie", except without the courage of its convictions? Real "alt," Eeyore, already ripping off other pornographers who you're supposedly the "answer" to. You're one metrosexual poseur, DUDE."
Gia Jordan: 'My Halloween started Saturday & still going strong'
I was border patrol and accessorized with a real live foreigner. Ok, he's a citizen and Hispanic, but he didn't wanna cooperate with the sombrero and poncho I bought him. I had to turn him into some kinda foreigner so I made him a suicide bomber costume. That's right, I'm the half-Pakistani Martha Stewart. I talked to my people and promised them 2 camels in trade for making fun of their religion, so it's all good and no harm.
Stephen Baldwin On KSEX
After he had about 20 minutes alone on air with Baldwin, Wankus brought on Kendra Jade who said she was hanging out all day with the actor. Knowing that he was going into the porn community and porn sets, Wankus was curious how Baldwin hooked up with her. Wankus also noted that Baldwin was going to Porn Star Karaoke whereupon, Baldwin started talking about his "Breakthrough" ministry.

Tim Connelly Sues AVN For Wrongful Termination
The former Adult Video News Editor and Publisher (2003-2005) was asked by his AVN bosses in the summer of 2005 to enter rehab for his drug excesses.
His addictions (cocaine, etc) had been causing problems since shortly after he took the job in May 2003, signing a three year contract.
In August 2005, Connelly agreed to enter rehab. He took three months pay.
He was assured that his job would be waiting for him when he returned to AVN.
Connelly never entered rehab and vanished from the industry. He left few, if any, friends behind at AVN. Most everybody who liked him at first had come to hate him.
On Oct. 18, Tim filed suit against AVN in Chatsworth. The case number is PC 039632. Can anyone get me a pdf file of this suit?
This lawsuit was expected since he left AVN in August 2005.
Jack Nicholson's Porn Connections
Author Dennis McDougal is writing a biography of Jack Nicholson.
Dennis emailed me:
Luke – In your X-rated life, did you ever run across this:
Rachel Ryan, a porn star who used the screen name Serina Robinson and had most recently appeared as a corpse in Batman, had a three-month fling with Jack which got translated into a three-way fling with Rebecca Broussard in the tabloids the Globe and the News of the World. The latter purportedly agreed to pay her $50,000 for her story, but she never got the check and hired attorney Barbara Irving to sue on her behalf.
Also, who would know something about the Jack/Heidi Fleiss interlude. I’ve got:
In You’ll Never Make Love in this Town Again, one of Heidi Fleiss’s girls claimed to have had a fling with Jack, but never for money. Alexandra Datig, a.k.a. “Tiffany” reported that Jack “hauled off and hit me hard” after a roll in the hay.
If anyone has any insight into Jack Nicholson and would be willing to talk to Dennis, either email him at dennis@littoral.net or email me and I will pass it on.
Confessions of a High Priced Call Girl
I call author Dimitra Ekmektsis Oct. 31.
Dimitra: "It looks like you're going mainstream. Your website is very clean looking. Like Popular Mechanics."
"I've wanted to be a call girl since I was 12 years old. [She grew up in Stuttgart, Germany.] I read Xaviera Hollander's book The Happy Hooker. I was blown away by it. It transformed me. The power she had over men and the places she went... I had never heard of anything like it before. It was the opposite of my mother. My mother was very submissive to my dad [an engineer]. She always said yes, yes, yes. She never spoke up against him. I was always a rebel inside. I did speak up more than my mother. Xaviera Hollander would never let a man tell her what to do.
"I wasn't a good student after 16. My parents were going through a divorce. I tried to move out of the house. I had to wait until I was 18. My parents wouldn't let me go to art school. They wanted me to become an engineer. I tried hard not to get good grades so I wouldn't become an engineer."
Dimitra worked in the sex industry from 1990-2002 (from 1992-1996 she had a sugar daddy and did not need to work).
Luke: "How did the reality of working as a call girl compare to what you expected?"
Dimitra: "It was exactly what I expected. I wanted a sugar daddy -- I got a sugar daddy. I wanted to go on the Concord -- I went on the Concord. I wanted to go on a private jet -- I went on a private jet. I wanted to meet princes from Saudi Arabia...and the Wall Street tycoons, and I got 'em. It's New York City. If it's not there, it's not anywhere. It was all there.
"I had to maintain a second identity for my private life. I was a photographer. For that reason, I didn't work as much as I could've. Maybe I didn't want to get too addicted to that money and glamor. My sugar daddy was a high profile person who had lots of money. He put a schedule on my life, hour by hour. It was stressful for me to not feel like a normal person, but completely in a golden cage. I couldn't act the way I wanted to act. I was young. Most people were old. He was a conservative Republican. I'm free spirited. A pisces."
:Luke: "What were the highlights and lowlights of working as a call girl?"
Dimitra: "The highlights were that I got to meet people in New York who had amazing apartments. They just gave me all this money. Sometimes I didn't even have to have sex with them. I just hung out with them and got drunk. You could go in, get your money, and have these great unusual experiences that normal people don't have and not even worry about that person [john] any more."
Luke: "How did your time in the sex industry affect you?"
Dimitra: "I learned so much about people and it changed my views about finances. If you have a lot of money, it is harder to have relationships and friends. I learned things that I would never give up knowing."
Luke: "How did working as a call girl affect your love life?"
Dimitra: "Not in a good way. I had men who were mean. I'm skeptical of anyone who's nice to me, that they want more from me than I want to give. Better in that if I want to have sex, I know how to have good sex. I'm not uptight. I don't have any hangups."
Luke: "How did it affect your relationship with your family?"
Dimitra: "Great question. I'm trying to figure out how to tell them. My book is out in Europe now. They know I have a book out but they don't know what it is about.
"I pulled off my double life as a photographer. I could show them pictures of rock stars and actors. They totally believed it.
"Publishing my book was a great learning experience. I can tell you everything about the publishing business.
"The story editor at Hustler magazine (Hans Feursinger) offered to write a screenplay free of charge."
Luke: "How did you feel about your profession and how do you feel about it now?"
Dimitra: "I felt guilty. I felt there was something wrong with it. Some women still think they're going to hell, if they're religious. Then I did some research recently about religion and prostitution and found it was an acceptable thing even in Islam and in the Bible. Only in modern times was it twisted to put a negative spin on it.
"I feel like it is my mission to make it more acceptable in society. It was an entirely respectable occupation for thousands of years. It was promoted by churches. It was used by churches."
Luke: "Add up for me the things you gained and the things you lost by being a call girl?"
Dimitra: "I don't think I lost anything. Knowledge is always better. Everything you know is power. I would never want to give this up and be a woman who's totally clueless and is just ruled by what society tells her to do, to have a husband and two kids and not be free. I want to be a swinger for the rest of my life. If I was getting married, I would need to be married to a swinger."
Luke: "How does your past affect you today?"
Dimitra: "It limits the people I can date. It limits the people I can socialize with. I don't hide anymore. People can't handle it. They try to insult me, to hurt me. I have to get rid of them."
Luke: "Yet you do not list that as a loss."
Dimitra: "Oh no."
Luke: "You've socially isolated yourself."
Dimitra: "I need strong people in my life, not weaklings who are motivated by envy."
Luke: "Did you violate client confidentiality with this book?"
Dimitra: "No. I would've gotten a cease and desist letter from Aaron Sorkin. He's the only one I'm naming. Everything I've said about Aaron Sorkin is all backed up. I have emails from him. I've said nothing that is not true. My lawyer says the truth is my best defense. If he does take me to court, there are thousand times worse things that I could've used."
Luke: "I'm not asking you a legal question. I'm asking a moral question. Isn't there an implicit understanding between a call girl and her client that they won't expose each other?"
Dimitra: "Hollywood is fascinated in call girls. They've used them for years to get inspiration and for sexual purposes. These Hollywood people have the power to change public perception and make us more acceptable and they choose not to because they are hypocritical. They are using call girls and exploiting them in their movies but act in public like they're holier than thou.
"I felt betrayed by Aaron Sorkin. He emailed me thousands of emails about how he would help me...but he never came through. He's a shady character."
Luke: "How has your work as a professional affected your personal sex life?"
Dimitra: "I'm much more picky. I'm over sex. I'm not into it that much. If I am going to have sex, it has to be great. I have to go to a sex club and get a new outfit. It's a big deal. I've gotten a little bit like these clients. I'd much rather have a lot of money and this young guy that I can pay and he'll do whatever I say. I compete with men now in the publishing industry. I'd love to live like that. I don't think there's anything wrong with paying a woman or man for sex. This government wants to take our power away from us.
"It's [prostitution] so empowering. An athlete sells her body. A painter sells her body. Or a dancer or model, so how dare they tell us we can't sell our bodies?"
Luke: "How much sex do you have?"
Dimitra: "Every month or two. I like good looking guys. Smart. Secure. Young. Not attached to me. Have you heard about Heidi Fleiss operating a brothel of men? I'd be a great client."
She laughs guiltily.
Luke: "What do you love and hate about growing older?"
Dimitra: "I don't like facing death (what if there is no music or art there?!) but on the other hand, I look forward to death, because there is a chance that I will get to meet my biggest inspirations, such as Warhol, Lincoln, Twain..and lots of others."
Luke: "Did you ever fall in love with any of your clients?"
Dimitra: "Yeah. Aaron Sorkin."
My Life As Movie
Fred writes:
OK. You are at an adult shoot. All of the sudden, you and Kendra Jade are abducted by aliens. When you return to earth, you vow to fight evil and crime.
By day you write a blog about porn. But at night (at least nights other than Erev Shabbat and the high holidays) you and Kendra become crime fighters. (I would like to audition for a role akin to Alfred the butler, but you will need a larger hovel--at least two rooms. Instead of having a batmobile, you just get an engine tune-up on the Jeffrey Dahmer van, change the oil, and clean up the old pizza boxes from the back.) BTW, Kendra's crime fighting outfit consists of a cape, stiletto high heels, and nothing else. She goes unrecognized because nobody ever looks at her face.
During the day, you interview porn actresses, discover what sort of psychological demons drive them to sell their bodies in this tawdry business, cure them using insightful psychoanalytical techniques, discover repressed memories, pick up a freebie BJ here and there, and thereafter send the young maidens off to a virtuous life where they follow most of God's commandments, and deal the sordid porn industry a death-blow.
Throughout the film, your girlfriend Holly is constantly trying to figure out your secret identity. Mike Albo plays a Dr. Evil sort of character. At the end of the movie, through a divine miraculous intervention, George Bush is re-elected to a third term, Ashcroft becomes attorney general again, and the porn industry is shut down, Rabbi Pumpkin lets you back into his Shul, you marry Holly, Mike Albo reforms, leaves the porn business and becomes a used car salesman, Nina Hartley becomes a Republican, and everyone lives happily ever after.

British Webmaster Joseph Adelman Dies
He ran such sites as saharagetsdirty.com, ravishingindians.com, and anglo-indian-girls.com.
Here's the last posting I can find by Joe A -- it was on GFY Sept. 12, 2006:
Sahara as in my sig has had a lot of press in the UK on tv and in mags in the last 15 months. She's told the story about her family and the reaction to her just appearing on a soft topless call in show on UK satellite tv back in 2004. This has resulted in a lot of new Asian Indian models thinking twice about doing adult.
Before she opened up about the problems I had shot 99% of all the Asian Indians in the UK. Sometimes I'd do 5 shoots in 10 days. Since her press and the problems which I shared with Sahara, receiving 6.30 am phone calls from her about what her family were doing.. I now tell all 18-20 y.o's who contact me what can happen if they're close to their family and they've all changed their minds as the family is the # 1 priority...
According to his MySpace page:
Originally in fashion for many years. Switched to porn in 1999 and started making Indian content sites. The best known being www.ukindiangirls.net , www.ravishingindians.com and also for making a star of Sahara Knite with www.saharagetsdirty.com. I'm also known for only shooting Indian, Oriental and Black models and have been seen on UK tv with Sahara and before I met her, heard on the radio and been published in mags in the last few years, and all about "Indian Porn."... LOL I'm always looking for new faces anywhere in the UK, so if any Asian/Indian/Oriental females 18+, would like to get in to the adult industry my email address is below...
Joe wrote on his MySpace page: "Me and an ex in the south of France before I went grey."
Sahara Knite
Joe Adelman with Sahara Knite in happier times.
I first heard from Joe A on Oct. 23, 2005 (a month after I returned from two weeks in London). I had quoted him a couple of times on GFY talking about Sahara Knite. He used to be her webmaster and then they had a nasty falling out.
Many would say Joe A. had an obsession with Sahara and that he acted like a jilted lover. I don't know how I would describe it but he certainly had a big interest in her and gave me lots of quotes about her. He operated the website saharagetsdirty.com. He had a fetish for Anglo-Indian girls.
Joe was always nice to me. He'd hit me up several times a week on Yahoo Messenger and do most of the chatting. He gave me story tips and set me up with several interviews with UK pornographers.
Joe was Jewish and we'd chat about life and Judaism. Joe was resolutely secular. He said his mother told him that shiksas (Gentile women) were trouble and here he developed all this trouble with Muslim girl Sahara.
In March 2006, Joe A. told me that Sahara was denied entry to the U.S. and returned to England. I asked her about it. She replied:
depends on who told u I know who it was. It was Joe A. Yes I had sent all my porn stuff over ie clothes. But on my laptop I dont have any escort stuff on it, why should i. they found glamour pics etc plus a diary bit that i had to send to my webmaster who is doing my site. It was that, which more or less said that i was working there. I was not locked up... i sat in immigrations for 5 hours. people really should get there facts right. and then got me on a plane and sent be back. I was not deported, i was refused entry. Theres a difference.. I can come back any time I want with the correct paperwork
and if joe A is telling u all this stuff, u need to remember he is a bitter twisted man who 1 year down the line cannot get over his fixation or whatever he wants to call it. I suggest u tell him to keep his mouth shut otherwise I will give u a copy of the court order, which i will give u permission to print. A court order which sayd that he has to close the sites down forewith but what does he do, he has no original content of me so instead he crawls to all the american companies ive worked for to get stuff from them to keep his site running. Hes ripping of his punters by putting all the american stuff into the paysection of his site. The punter thinks if he joins joes site he will get the full clips of the american stuff but once in he gets a few bits and then he has to join the american webiste to get any more stuff. He has done that with naught america who have already said that there stuff cannot be used in anybodys paysite and can only be used as a promotional tool only, whoch he clearly isnt doing. he is making money from it. Any more u would like to know. I will gladly tell u
Im sure u cant but an old man who keeps harping on about a girl who no longer wants anything to do with him. To keep on about it a year down the line shows he has a fixation which is unhealthy and bordering on being an internet stalker. Its perverse. yuk..
In the Spring of 2006, I developed tendonitis in both of my elbows. I halved the amount of time I spent on the computer and severely reduced my chatting online. I believe the last time I heard from Joe was in May. I don't remember him saying he was terminally ill. I'm scratching my head now and thinking that he may have told me he had cancer, but I just did not pay much attention. I was so wrapped up in my own issues.
In retrospect, based on what he chiefly talked to me about, it appears that the great love of Joe Adelman's life was Muslim girl Sahara Knite.
For some reason, Joe really liked me and did everything he could to help me and my column. He help me secure an interview with director One Eyed Jack (Terry Stephens) who emails me Oct. 30:
Joe had been in hospital for nigh on 4 weeks now. He has had trouble keeping his food down and after an operation on his oesophagus was diagnosed with throat cancer which Joe was informed was terminal. His close friend told me that Joe fearing the worse just gave up and his health deteriorated rapidly within the last 2 weeks. I visited Joe with my girlfriend on the Thursday where I found a pale shadow of the little guy with the huge voice. He couldnt speak after his operation and he had lost a serious amount of weight. Anyone who knew Joe would know he was never a portly kind of guy so it was a complete shock to me to see him lying there. I knew he was dying but he still had some fight in him and he seemed genuinely pleased to see us and a few other friends who turned up that day. It was a huge effort for him to even hold my hand and I knew then he wouldnt see out the rest of the week. On the Friday, Joe passed on in his sleep and his funeral was yesterday (Sunday 29th October) Joe was a little guy with a big voice and a huge heart who helped many people in an advisory capacity, including myself and he was above all a very good friend and he will be seriously missed by all his friends and compadres inside the industry and out.
One Eyed Jack posts on British Girls Forum:
I write this with a heavy heart and regret to inform that Joe A has passed on this afternoon. Faye and myself along with Nige, his wife and friend visited for the last time yesterday and despite the fact he was very weak I felt and was assured by his best friend for many years that he was very pleased to see us. He will be seriously missed. I am so sorry to bring this news. Joe was a little guy with a huge heart. I will always remember him this way even when I told him to 'f---ing shut up! I cant believe for such a small bloke you've got a huge f---ing voice on you!'...It was said with respect mind. Now I think about it, it just goes to show how much life he had in him. It is such a shame to see him go this way. I myself have been slashed by the rapier wit of his tongue on a few occasions and told the odd f--- off here and there but he always came back. He had a hot temper but he was a fair man and he was ultimately a good friend.
Back in 2000, when I first started in the business, I had just began as a webmaster support rep for Adult Check. I knew nothing about this business. The office was laid out in a garage style building with cubicles stretched from wall to wall. The sound of your voice tended to travel unimpeded. One morning, I heard the sound of a frustrated rep talking to some guy about Indian sites. The rep was frustrated. The rep placed the phone down and said, "man, JoeA is upset." Knowing not the first thing about the industry or even what this company did fully, I decided to offer to talk to him. "I will take him, I don't mind." Everyone laughed. I took my phone and placed it on the floor of the garage and sat down underneath my cubicle desk. I punched the line live, and he began yelling about his Indian site not being listed in the live links section. He continued to yell, saying things such as "f--- all" and "bollocks." He yelled things that described my being a total idiot. And he kept yelling. I am not sure how long he yelled that morning, however, when it was over, he said: "You know, I don't think anyone has ever let me yell that long. I think I will call you my new friend." I responded: "Sure, Thanks. The site is now live."
Since that morning, I have met JoeA on numerous occasions, including a few times in the great city of London. He was, without question, a guy that lived life to its absolute fullest and someone that played the drums to his own rhythm. He was a nice guy that always wanted to help out and be a part of things. I am sure the world could use more people like Joe. But as for now, his time with us has passed and I can only imagine that his after life journey will be filled with a certain indisputable furry and will for continuance that only JoeA could be attributed with. And if there is a God, I am confident that JoeA's entry into the great doors of Heaven was nothing short of a festive one. And I also hope the Lord has an assistant to take his calls. Rest in Peace buddy.
Outrageous Toys
Steven Koch writes:
Isn’t it Outrageous that a manufacturer of adult Toys, Named Outrageous Toys that is ripping off people? Word on the street is that this company not only owes advertisers for adds it has placed in various magazines, vendors for merchandise it has bought and used and employees for work they have performed. Rumor has it these same people have also financially screwed over talent. If you are thinking of doing business with these people you might want to think twice about it. Also there are several companies that are taking legal action against Outrageous Toys.
Sex Addiction - One Woman's Story
Hawtbigirl@aol.com (pic, pic, pic, pic, pic) emails:
Hi everyone, my name is Michelle. I am a 27 year old bisexual girl living right here in Denver, Colorado. I have suffered from a rather aggressive sexual addiction since I was 13 years old. That addiction has taught me to lie, cheat and cover up anything I do. I destroyed my first marriage with my lying and cheating. Actually, my first husband killed himself due to my infidelities. You think I would have learned from that, but like a true addict, the more pain I feel the more I cover up the pain with acting out. Having sex is how I have learned to cope and feel better about my life. When I am alone, hurt, scared or generally unhappy, I seek the attention of men and women and that ultimately leads me into sexual situations with them. I have no ability to have or keep friends. Anyone I come into contact with on a daily basis, I will move to have sex with. One hundred percent of the time.
My cheating started within my second marriage when I was a Denver Sheriff officer. I had several affairs with fellow deputies that lead to vicious stalking and harassment. After I was assaulted by a fellow deputy for trying to break off my affair with him, internal affairs learned of everything I had done. I had sex on duty, in locker rooms, various areas of the jail and in sheriff's cars. I was fired for improper sexual conduct. I was giving fellow deputies blow jobs during my lunch hour. I was cheating on my husband every day of every week for a months at a time. The level of daily lying was was absolutely horrible. My husband new nothing of who and what I was. Even after I was caught at work, I lied to him about why I was being investigated and fired. Of course, once it all landed in court, there was no more lying to be done.
My next job as a 911 dispatcher only lasted 5 months. While I worked there, I started cheating on my husband with both a male and female dispatcher. This time, I was having two affairs at once and hiding it from everyone. That is to say that I was having affairs on my affairs. Of course, after having sex in the bathroom at work and getting caught, I was fired once again. I tried so hard not to cheat but I could not help myself. I kept making promises that this would be the last affair. Only to start moving on the next affair before the current affair was over. I lived to have sex at work with anyone and everyone who would give me attention. I lied to my husband, my family and all the people I had affairs with. No one know anything about anything. The web of lies I was weaving took every ounce of my concentration and there was nothing left to do my job or be a real person at home.
I took a year or so off work to work on my addiction and myself. I went to work at RTD and low and behold, I went right back to work with more affairs. Now it was really out of control. In very short order, as a bus driver, I had several affairs. Again, some simultaneously. I had sex in my home, behind my husband's back. I had sex in car wash maintenance rooms, in the back of mini vans, hotels near RTD and even at RTD itself. I had sex on the back of RTD busses, in my supervisor's office, the driver's sleep room and in my supervisor truck. I had sexual encounters with fellow drivers, my superiors and when I was made a supervisor, my subordinates. I would take my company car, while on duty, to employees homes and have sex with them. I was out of control. I was having 5 affairs at a time. I did not care what happened to my family, other people's families or myself. I was raped on my own living room floor by a driver I DETEST and it was pretty much fault. Of course, the job dried up as usual. I was investigated, suspended and I ultimately resigned for violating just about every reasonable rule RTD had. Many families got hurt and several divorces came from my selfish actions. I had disgraced myself and my family. All my so called "friends" who were so willing to have sex with me, just dissapeared.
After vandalism of my house here in Denver started due to my outing of several drivers to thier wives, I was forced to move, along with my husband and two kids, to California. I lived in California for a full year only returning 6 weeks ago.
After I was fired, I tried desperately to control my addiction. The more I kept a lid on it, the more violent I became. The acting out is how I learned to deal with things and now that I was not having sex with everyone, I blew up all the time. I found myself in jail three times for domestic violence against my wife, BisexualBritni (yes, we are both girls). I was locked up in a mental hospital twice for a total of about 45 days. I have lost EVERYTHING I ever had or owned due to this addiction. I confined myself in Del Amo mental hospital for addiction counseling for a month. I started attending "sex addicts anonymous" several times a week.
Sadly, there is very little help for female sexual addicts. I was turned away from hospital after hospital. They had great programs for men but most had never even heard of a female sex addict. I was so sexually addicted that the "Sexual Recovery Institute" in Los Angeles, headed up by Dr. Weiss, would not take me as a patient. Because I had shown such severe tendancies towards violence while my addiction was cycling, they referred me to an inpatiant hospital and that was that. You see, had pulled a knife on my husband and kids when my husband tried to stop me from seeing my supervisor at RTD. I need my sexual fix so much that, at the time, I did not care what I had to give away, I could not part with the sex and attention. I actually missed my son's first X mas family photos to be have sex with my boss in the La Quinta Hotel near RTD. I have abjagated my responsibilites of being a wife and mother to keep my sexual addiction fed.
I tried to control my addiction, I found myself getting tattoos that made me feel better for a while. My body is covered in tattoos that say things like, "Cum slutt", f--- my whore ass", f--- my whore pussy", "cum in me", "I f---", "f--- slutt", "I swallow cum" and "I eat pussy". I have tattooed my pussy, my tits, my ass and anything else that would make my drive for sex feel better, even if just for a few hours. My pussy demands attention several times a day. It makes me do really stupid things that I regret horribly. At times, I am just sitting in wetness and cannot work or think of anything except having sex. I go to work with lingerie under my clothes, butt plugs in my asshole and dildos to f--- myself with several times a day.
I am basically unemployable. I try and hide my addiction but it comes out without me knowing it. I send sexual signals that end with people hitting on me. Once they hit on me, I obsess on them until I am powerless to avoid having sex with them. When the sex comes down, it happens fast and wherever I may be. No account is taken on where I am, who the person is or what damage I may cause. I simply need to have sex and nothing else matters.
I am, according to every professional I have seen, am the most sexually addicted female they have ever met. The Dr. Keith Ablow show did a show on me that airs in November. Even they tried to get me help and failed due to the fact there simply are not places that treat sexually addicted women. I have begged for help and simply cannot get it. I have offered to give my husband, wife (yes, I live in a 3 way) and my kids away to continue to have an affair, online, with people I had never even met. This happened ten full months into recovery. My addiction to sex has ended my life and my ability to be a reasonable in our society.
Now I am back in Denver, my family holding on by a thread. I have already lost Britni and my husband is holding on but I am not sure why. We barely talk. My relationship with my kids is strained and my ability to be a mom is nonexistant. My husband has been forced to pick up my slack just as with any addiction. Addictions, as I hear over and over, are addictions for the entire family. My entire family has suffered due ot me driven addiction to sex with any man or women who pays attention to me. I am outing this story so other men and women can learn from my mistakes. This addiction is not especially rare. More people suffer from it then we realize. There is help for it and there are groups to helps with this addiction. SAA (sex addicts anonymous), SLAA, (sex and love addicts anonymous) and many more.

Email Luke photo IDs.
Terri writes: "I’ve read criticisms of your photographic skills in the past, but after clicking through your photos from last night’s party I have to thank you for continuing to use your Dorian Gray De-Glamourizer for red carpet events. We’re not really a very glamorous industry, are we? Even though we’re in the “World’s Adult Entertainment Capital”…. It seems to have moved from Chatsworth to somewhere in Hollywood, maybe an alley off Cherokee."
Jed emails: "As far as your photographic ability, I don't see a problem with it, looks like an adequate representation of your subjects. Good to see Lockwood's made it through his first Kubrick film."
I interview Jeanie Marie Sullivan, who grew up in Southern California and Las Vegas. "I've wanted to be a porn star since I was seven," she says. "I got into some porn when I was very young and decided that that was what I wanted to be."
Luke: "What did your parents want you to be?"
Jeanie: "They weren't really around. That's why I was watching so much porn as a kid. I was bored a lot."
Luke: "What crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"
Jeanie: "These guys right here. I've had the same friends my whole life.
"I did try out for cheerleading. I made squad but I didn't end up sticking with it. I did something else. I had other things on my mind."
She gives a nervous giggle.
"My dad was in Vegas. He used to have a lot to do with this industry. One day I decided that this was what I wanted to do.
"I'm not that interesting. You'd be surprised. I have a low-key life."
Luke: "What do you love and hate about being a porn star?"
Jeanie: "I love porn. I hate what it's done for sex. I still pose for my angles when I'm having sex at home."
Luke: "How has it affected your love life?"
Jeanie: "I never had one, so not much. I've never had much lovemaking. I've had a lot of sex. I don't date."
Luke: "What do you want from life?"
Jeanie: "This is it. When I'm done with being talent, I want to direct and produce and distribute. I'm going to hit it from every angle I can."
Luke: "Did you lose any friends when you became a porn star?"
Jeanie: "Yes."
Luke: "What did people say?"
Jeanie: "They just passed a lot of judgment about my character. They generalize. They think my character has changed but it's just a character I play on TV. If they can't define the difference, that's their loss."
"I'm done being childish. I've experimented with everything stupid that I wanted to. I've grown into my own here where I belong."
"I like that they sensationalize you and that you're paid to be promoted. I'm all for publicity. I do enjoy socializing with the fans. They're my favorite part of the business. I don't care about anyone else."
Luke: "Do you make friends in the industry?"
Jeanie: "It's easy to socialize with the girls. It's hard to maintain
strong bonds. There's a lot of jealousy."
XBiz, XFanz turned out in force led by XBiz publisher Alec Helmy and his wife as well at the XBiz pubicist Dusty Marie and XBiz World publisher Tom Hymes.
There was a crowd of photographers including Gordon, Dr. X, Brian from the Hardcoresource.com. I spot Carlos Martinez from AVN.
I talk to Mickey G. about Roxetta's rants about him. Mickey says he's ready to change his phone number. He doesn't bother to return her calls.
Justin Snyder says things are fine between him and his ex-girlfriend Jezebelle Bond. She made heavy charges against him -- that he beat her, etc. But they've worked together since and they're evidently friends.
I arrive at 9:30 p.m. and leave at 11 p.m.
From Jeff Mullen, All Media Play:
Hey Luke, I read on your site that you reported that there were more members of the media than porn girls at our Heaven & Hell Halloween party this past Saturday night at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. I think we both were at the same party but in the future, I encourage you to stay past 11:00PM as most porn girls are just putting their shoes on at 11PM. We had a great time as porn partiers decked in Halloween costumes mixed throughout the club but mostly enjoyed the nice weather on the roof top rock ‘n roll patio as the drinks flowed and spirits soared. I am not saying it was our greatest party ever (remember the Dark Angels 2 and Decline bashes? Those will be hard to beat) and it will not even come close to the Sex Z Pictures Corruption party that we are planning for Saturday, November 11th but in an effort to help the process of fair and balanced reporting I offer the following:
The party went until well after 4AM, had a total crowd of 2300 people and any bash that has female performer of the year candidate Hillary Scott, Jasmine Byrne (J-Ho), Courtney Cummz, Lexxi Tyler plus a number of top porn agency heads with their girls in tow must not be too bad even by the lofty standards that we have set for porn party excellence.
As reported by AVN and XFanz among others in attendance were Crissy Cums, Kat, Avy Lee Roth, Jenna Presley, August, Katja Kassin, Mya Mason, Nikki Fairchild, Leah Luv, Gianna Lynn, Tiana Lynn, Jeanie Marie, Katie Ray, Presley Maddox, Havana Ginger, Alexia Milano, Lindsey Meadows, Britney Stevens, Whitney Stevens, Isis, Riley Evans, Veronique Vega, Amber Peach, Sierra Sin, Gina Giovanni, Regan Reeves, Gia Jordan, Siena Rivers, Lori Pleasure, Candy Manson, Brooklyn Night, De’Bella, Tanya Hardin, Lori Lust, Lexie Lamour, Coco Chanel, Cassie Pisshione, Tabitha Tucker, and dozens of others. A number of top directors including Vince Voyeur, Van Styles, Will Rider and performer/director Kurt Lockwood were hanging with packs of girls. The entire Wanted List crew with gorgeous girls were there, as well as Nectar’s girls, Smash Pictures cuties and folks from KSex, XFanz and AVN were all very well represented and having fun. Even Tee Reel and Tommy Gunn partied into the night and how often do you see Tee Reel at a porn party?
This was only a party and truthfully nothing to get too serious about, but from reading your commentary, it seems like it was a sad event on the level of a funeral. It was fun for almost everybody there and as Larry Flynt says “It’s just sex”. See you all at the Sex Z Pictures’ Corruption party which if I have anything to say about it (and I do) will go down in porn party history as a bash in the Dark Angels 2 category that we threw last year in the converted aircraft hanger in Burbank. The best adult movie of the year deserves the best party or the year.
Why Women Pick Jerks, Rockstar Magazine, October 2006
Hitler reportedly had many girlfriends, Stalin was said to have never been without a mistress and Charles Manson's “family” was comprised mostly of women. More recently, convicted murderer Scott Peterson has been deluged with marriage proposals and O.J. Simpson said in Playboy , “Being accused of double-murder was like Spanish Fly.”
Best Tribute to XPT - It Returns Sunday Night
I can't explain it, but i feel, too, that perhaps adt is not what i'm looking for (and i'm sure that drew and steph are fine with many xpt'ers feeling the same way!) i only started posting at xpt a couple of weeks ago (i went out a lowly "sportswami wannabe"), but lurked for a year. what i got out of xpt was not so much a recommendation as to which pornos to jerk off to (skeeter, thank you v. much) or where to find dirty anal, or arguing the finer points of pissmops vs. meatholes--all valuable information easily attained here at adt. it was about the people there, or at least their personas as they chose to deliver them in the "cage". and the funny ass s--- they said to each other. where else can you find "the dignity extractor" ad (xpt at its finest, IMO)? or a twenty page thread on f---ing cherry poppins (miss you, CAOH)? or, my personal most favorite thread ever, "The Girls of Tony Malice's Office"? it's gone. i'm sad. to be honest, i don't even watch much porn anymore. if i wanna watch some girl take it in the ass, i'll pull out my own porn, with Mr. Gonzogirl as the director. i just miss monstar and his hello kitty watch, coochie monster, guapo, burg, bornyo, eddie, and jamesn. even hav2cit. their s--- cracked me up! oh, and now, how will i ever know what happened to BabyDoll and her tweaker friends ha ha? sorry to rant. oh, and TMonty, i remember you! that's daniela dunn to you.
Laura Romani's Journey Through Porn
She replies to my inquiries:
Okay, Luke - I should have known you'd want more details! Do you want the True Hollywood Story? Of course you do...
In January of 2005, I quit my job as a hotel manager and went after a dream I'd had since I was a teenager - making a truly sexy porn flick, something that would appeal to both of my target audiences, smart men and cool chicks. And it was incredibly easy, since I found a seemingly ideal job less than a week later. I was working in a post production house as the office manager, and there was plenty to do and learn. I liked my co-workers, my boss was happy with finally having things organized, and I had the free time to write a blog about my experiences. I had dreams of renting a house in the English countryside and filming beautiful women as nymphs exploring nature and each other. Of getting the rights to film the Sleeping Beauty trilogy as a miniseries. Or a soap opera about the exploits of a hotel staff and guests to be aired on the internet. So I studied, read AVN regularly, and tried to reach out and find mentors in the field. I did meet some wonderful people - Violet Blue was a huge inspiration and access for information. Gram Ponante and I had a great time talking one night at Porn Star Karaoke at Sardo's, and I had the unique pleasure of keeping Roy Karch in stitches on another Tuesday night there as well. Luc Parry and I met for coffee one afternoon, comrades in writing about the industry from the outside looking in. Farrel Timlake actually paid for my pass to a convention in San Diego, and gave me a tour of his offices. (And I even got a cool tshirt with matching vibrator!) You were also a wonderful resource and a great devil's advocate. And I really respect your ability to see past the bulls---. Because that's what ultimately ended my "Adventures in Porn."
We started to develop problems with our main distributors in April, and the company went from productive to barely solvent in weeks. Instead of trying to fight them, my boss flew off to Europe to be with his wife and baby. Trying to recoup some lost revenue, we decided to go to Prague to film, and when I say "we", I mean the producer. I stayed behind and fed the cat, watered the plants. And looked for another gig, anything in the industry to get a little closer to my dream. But my vision on how it could be versus how it really is, well, you know the story. Between Soprano-style distribution outfits, filming individual scenes rather than full on stories, and the rising demand for severe female degradation scenes, how is one gal from Texas with gumption but little else going to change it? My biggest problem was that I assumed someone with my kind of ideas and enthusiasm would be welcomed. I admit, I was definitely naive, almost deluded, but I still think it can be done. Will it be accomplished by me? No, because it's not my story to tell. It can and will be done one day, maybe sooner than later, but it's going to be done by someone in it, not on the outside. And that's just not me.
I still stayed on working for the company throughout the summer, still hopeful but a little wary. In June, when the mandate passed on the strict regulation of keeping records of all performers, I suddenly had more work in three weeks than I'd had the past three months. And then, my boss came back from overseas with his new family. That's when it really started to unravel. See, I knew that marrying a porn star in her twenties when she became pregnant, even though you had a rough relationship already, was not the smartest idea. Apparently my middle aged boss had a more hopeful outlook. Nevertheless, I suddenly found myself in quite a few marital flareups, quietly sweeping up the broken glass around two very unhappy people and one sweet baby. They would fight, move out, make up and do it all again the next week. Instead of working behind the scenes, making new contacts and collaborators, I was keeping the house clean and taking the baby out for long walks when it got ugly. So, I quit. I walked in one Saturday afternoon and told my boss I was finished cleaning up his messes. I was pretty angry with him, and watching him make one foolish mistake after another just broke my heart. All I can hope is that he and his little girl are doing well. I still think he could be a good father and a good man, even now.
So, that's my story. I'm back working in hospitality, and pursuing my dreams of entertaining others, although I'm now focusing on comedy and writing. I would still love to see better porn out there, but I don't feel compelled to be the one making it anymore. And the best thing is that I don't have any regrets. I'm happy that I at least went out there and tried, and learned from my mistakes. That's what it's really all about.
Rob Spallone Vs. Derek Hay
Derek emails me:
Luke, Just because I will not communicate with Gene Ross, you may have noticed this post.
A friend of Spallone calls me: "I've been following the Rob Spallone and Derek Hay feud and it seems like no one's talked about the fact that Derek can't go back to England. "Besides," says FOS, "there's a rumor out there that Derek was allegedly arrested for pimping and that Rob Spallone has the police report. And Rob is really going after Derek, he just doesn't care. Derek cannot go back to Englnd. He f---ed up big time with some bad asses. There's a high ranking cop who will f--- him up if he steps over there. And he f---ed with this cop's personal life. That's why he doesn't have his English citizenship any more. He was pimping [allegedly] in England and there are a few people who'd like to break his legs."
For the record, I shall be going to London from Dec 7th – 17th this year, You are welcome to post this on your site.
My tickets are bought and I’ll send you a copy Monday for verification. Anyone who’s looking for me in London, can find me between those dates at the St Martins Lane Hotel in Covent Garden. I will send a copy of my British passport for verification also. It remains current.
Good luck to Rob and his tale telling. Used to be called a rat, not sure what they call it nowadays, maybe still a rat. Regardless, it’s about time someone called his bluff and I’m just the guy to do it.
World Modeling Born Again
Jim South is taking a long vacation starting Nov. 3. (JimSouthJr@worldmodeling.com and 818-986-4316.)
He calls me Friday afternoon. "I've done some thinking since Junior talked to you. Jim and I are burned out.
"By the third week of vacation, I'm going to get itchy to return to work.
"We've had a lot of calls from clients and friends who don't want us to give it up. I need something to do. If I take a few weeks off... We are giving the offices up. Everybody wants us to move to Chatsworth where are a high percentage of producers and directors are located.
Yes, Porn Chicks Are Freaky In Bed
The insane are usually more fun in the sack but that doesn't mean you want to marry them.
Because of our pornified culture, a lot of civilians get intimidated when they know you've had a taste of professionals. They shouldn't be. Civilian loving can be more fulfilling, not to mention more elevated spiritually, than porn loving.
Take it from Your Uncle Luke. Blowjobs from porn chicks are not part of the divine plan for you life.
Next week I'll discourse on how to raise happy healthy children.
Lainie Speiser emails: "Luke actually I’ve never heard one glowing report from someone who had sex with a porn star. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing different from other women at all, nothing that would make them different. The truth is most porn stars don’t even like sex because if they did they wouldn’t be doing it for a living. Course some porn stars are nymphos and are happy they can make money and do the thing they like best at the same time. But I feel that’s only 20 percent of the bunch."
Racism - The Love That Dares Not Speak Its Name
Many of my friends don't like black people. Many of my friends don't like non-whites. Many of my Ashkenazi Jewish friends don't like Persians and Sephardim. Many of my friends believe that most illegal immigrants from Mexico are genetically dumb and destined to lead lives of low achievement if not criminality and welfare dependence. Many of my friends agree with the worldview of the book Bell Curve. Many of my friends don't like out homosexuals.
All of my racist and homophobic friends are careful to never harm a non-white or homosexual. I would never be friends with someone who treated people badly because of race, religion or sexual orientation. I do not share my friends views. I am happy to hang out with blacks, browns, yellows and homos as long as such people are smart and funny.
These friends of mine simply want to live their lives with other straight white people, just as my Orthodox friends want to chiefly spend their time with fellow Orthodox Jews and many blacks want to hang primarily with blacks.
It's not my approach to life, but I don't see anything wrong with this. I see a huge difference between segregating one's life and deliberately hurting people you don't like. I have no problem if Koreans, for instance, only want to hire Koreans and live among Koreans.
Not all racism is evil. The only time racism is evil is when people deliberately hurt others on the basis of race. But if racist people want to peacefully segregate their lives without trying to hurt anybody, I think that's innocuous. Frankly, given all the painful commandments of the Torah, racism is one of the few pleasures left to the observant Jew.
Racism is no more heinous a desire than lust. It all depends on how you express it. For instance, I channel my lust, racism and homophobia into the study of Torah and that's what makes me a moral leader.
It drives Dennis Prager and many Republicans crazy when anyone has the chutzpah to argue that much of the Republican appeal and electoral success is because of racism. But I think this racism argument is an undeniable truth. Millions of Americans don't like black people (though most of these racists would not deliberately hurt a black person or homosexual, etc, just as many people who saved Jews during the Holocaust told anti-Jewish jokes), and most people who don't like black people vote Republican.
William Hyde writes:
Racism isn't evil at all. Racism, at it's worst, is merely stupid. Choosing to segregate oneself from others purely on the basis of race or orientation, simply limits one to a narrower and less enriching social life. Personally, I find meeting honest, intelligent people challenging enough... so I like to keep the pool of available candidates as large as possible. But that's just me. To each his own. However, while I agree that self-imposed segregation may seem fairly innocuous... the real danger in racism comes not from the personal preferences and choices we're all entitled to, but rather from the "institutionalized racism" that follows discrimination. A white business owner has every right to associate exclusively with other whites, but when he/she makes a conscious decision to deny service or employment to non-whites, this only perpetuates the social inequalities that have existed since Jim Crow ( which wasn't all that long ago, for those who may have forgotten. ). And like it or not, the courts long ago ruled "separate but equal" a failed social experiment. So by all means, exercise your right to be racist, sexist, and homophobic. Just know the difference between exercising your rights, and denying the rights of others. That's the difference between "segregating one's life and deliberately hurting people you don't like."
AVN Editor Mike Ramone emails:
This is one of your least well thought out posts in quite some time. Albo thinks you must be off your meds again. Or just desperate to firm up those sagging Alexa ratings.
“Racism is no more heinous a desire than lust”? I would think that as a practicing Jew, you’d be a little more sensitive to the evil of racism, whose greatest hits, after all, include the Holocaust.
Racism always speaks more about the moral depravity and emotional wasteland of the racist, than it does about the objects of their hatred. Sounds like it’s time to get a new set of friends Luke. What self-appointed morality czar would hang with them? Someone might accuse you of being a hypocrite, a charge I know that’s never been leveled at you before.
Hank Rose writes:
You hit the nail right on the head, Luke. The R word is universal despite naive idealists who inject utopian debate to address blind laws of nature wherein morality has no place in the Darwinian struggle. Porn is a prime example.
When you look at the human species, and all that has devolved in the past 20 years, man is still but an animal. And those who were cruel to be kind in building civilization are now being kind to be cruel in letting it fall to ruin.
In that case, racism is but a measure of human territoriality. We all practice it either consciously or subconsciously. And those who maintain a politically correct stance against it, are all too often the biggest hypocrites of them all.
Jeff Steward Shuts Down XPT
He posts: "here is the future.The Republicans have taken over.As of tomorrow im shutting this site down.Enjoy your future."
At 8:46 a.m. Oct 27, I noticed that all XPT forums were closed and in its place are a bunch of pictures of the Nazis, Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust as well as this text: "Enjoy life without XPT. Brought to you by the Republican Party. Think about that, and the friendly images below when voting on November 7. Free speech is dead."
Jane emails: "Leave it to a thoroughly desensitized pornographer to analogize the holocaust to democracy."
Travis emails:
Jeff Steward has never made a "statement" that wasn't a bald-faced attempt to make a crumpled, semen-stained dollar, no matter his ocassional Rob Black-like First Amendment posturing. If Da Burglar thought about it for two seconds, he'd realize that all of JM's commercial sites are properly 2257'd -- as opposed to the XPT board, where the often incredibly base level of discourse & accompanying images, taken out of context & presented to a jury during an obscenity trial, could not only stand in his way of making a further buck, but cost him quite a bit of money. Face it, "smut peddlers lie."
Allie Ray emails:
WHAT ARE ALL THE SLUTS AND PRICKS GOING TO DO NOW?????!!!!OMG!! HOW WILL THEY LIVE WITHOUT XPT, I CAN NAME A COUPLE OF IDIOTS WHOM THERE WHOLE LIFE REVOLVED AROUND XPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I STILL LIVE WITH DAVID LUGER, HE BOUGHT ME A 2,OOO DOG YESTERDAY A BEAGLE SO IM JUST STAYING AT HOME FOR A WHILE AND ITS BECAUSE ITS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD, HES ADORABLE!!!!
It's hard to compete with Allie Ray's blinding clarity, but I believe Jeff Steward shut down XPT because of 2257 issues. How could XPT have the appropriate documentation when any shmuck could post a pornographic picture? How will porn psychopaths communicate without XPT?
Phlogiston emails:
It looks like Jeff has lapsed into the persecutory delusions that plague Los Angeles' left-wingers. However, rather than putting on a Che Guevara t-shirt, getting an nose-piercing, and sniveling about how Bush is "destroying the Constitution" or fighting a "war for oil", he has decided to pull the plug on XPT rather than deal with the fact a solid cadre of regular XPT posters don't hold his messianic view of the Democratic party. He's free to do whatever he wants with his forum, and the obscenity charges against him are indeed complete bulls---, but shutting down XPT smells of Jeff's histrionic personality traits and not a political statement.
Da Burglar emails:
I would hazard a guess that this is just a temporary shut down Luke, designed to galvanize people to vote November 7 and do something about the hypocrisy of the Republican-controlled legislative branches of the government. The fact that the other sites are still up and functioning (like XPT Video-On-Demand, Gagfactor.com, Americanbukkake.com, etc) suggests Jeff Steward is simply making a political statement (a strong, much needed statement in my opinion.)
The recent Mark Foley scandal, whereby that gay republican politician/lawmaker was exposed making incredibly perverted sexual advances on young male congressional pages, should help make it possible for the Democrats to make MAJOR headway in undoing the Republican control of Congress...the hypocrisy of the GOP is now too much to ignore. Even if their intentions originally were good in going after certain pornography producers whom they felt were too sick/depraved/misogynistic for the public's welfare, the Bush Adminstration and the Republican Moral Police cannot do this anymore, or at least for a long time, until they clear out the hypocrites and scoundrels like Foley (and other evil men like the former House Majority Leader and representative from Texas, Tom Delay, who has since resigned after being indicted on serious campaign finance rule violations, and being linked to the Abramoff Scandal.)
While I do not personally enjoy, watch or purchase the pornography produced by such people/companies like Max Hardcore, Extreme Associates or even JM Productions, I believe in its right to exist. I do not think it is appropriate for our government to spend its time and OUR resources prosecuting these companies simply for producing such pornography, especially when it is the hypocritical, immoral elements and people like those in the GOP who are leading the way. Let's hope Jeff Steward's statement in shutting down the XPT messageboard helps galvanize people to vote this November 7 to force our government back to addressing things/issues it should, like terrorism, poverty, education and whether Barry Bonds is on Steroids, and NOT trying to control what people use to masturbate.
Jane emails:
da burg's missive paints mr. steward as a revolutionary who courageously protests the infringement of american free speech by making a strong, necessary "statement" that rallies us to the voting booth. if there was a statement in the tasteless images of the holocaust and the half-baked political rhetoric, it was that mr. steward has transparent motivations. his deletion of xxxporntalk occured less than 48 hours after a minority of conservative posters made unfavorable comments about the obscenity case pending against him. after all, why should he pay for the entertainment of people who don't support his politics? certainly no one can fault him for his decision to shut down the board, but to hide behind the guise of political persecution is misrepresentation and doesn't portray the auteur of "irritable bowel syndrome" and "white trash whore" in a favorable light.
Joe emails:
I thought the porn business was going to be obliterated within 20 minutes of Bush taking office? Or was it two days or two weeks? It's been what, five and a half years now? Oh, that's right, the Iraq war distracted him. And if he hadn't needed to cover his ass from Katrina, porn would be as ancient as the telegram. As I've suggested to you before, everyone needs a bogey man. On both sides.
Dennis Prager Interviews Neil Strauss About Picking Up Women
Openers, negging, proof of social status.
One Of The Things I Admire Most About Myself Is My Courage
On Oct. 25, I did an interview about bloggers getting sued and I realized that I must be the most sued blogger -- five suits so far for libel etc.
Why do I get sued so much? One reason is that I pursue stories that most journalists will not touch because they are afraid. For example, here are a couple of stories about billionaires that many people thought I'd get whacked for -- David Geffen and Bill Gates.
And here is a story about Susan Block's husband Max Leblovic who was charged with raping his daughter... I got kicked off my serve.com server a couple of years ago for this when they caved to Susan's legal threats.
I don't believe libel law should be changed to make it more difficult to sue bloggers. America has the most press freedom in the world. It is very difficult for public figures to win a libel suit. I don't think there's anything in blogging that necessitates a change in law. The same standards should apply to bloggers.
Are bloggers journalists? Sometimes. A better question is whether a particular piece of work is journalism -- is it fair? Have all parties been asked to comment? Is it accurate? Is it in the public interest?
I am glad that people can sue for libel. Such suits give expression to rage without anybody getting killed.
Mike Albo emails: "Luke, the reason you get sued is because many times you don't confirm your sources, you don't check your facts, and you don't wait to get the whole story...among other transgressions. That tends to bring out the worst in people prone to being litigious. So, you see, courage doesn't have much to do with your legal woes. You just suck."
Do The Sexually Explicit Passages In John Updike's Writings Make You Want To Never Have Sex Again?

Messing With God's Daughters
It bothers me that I frequently feel urges to relate sexually to women who are not my wife (not that I'm married), and who, frankly, I don't really care much about aside from wanting to bang them.
I know that this is not God's plan for my life. He has given me the strength to overcome my drive to fornicate and masturbate.
Preacher's kid and former pornographer Donny Pauling aka Donovan Phillips blogs:
PART of the reason I'd even decided to look in Redding was because I wanted to produce porn in the same town where Kris Vallotton pastored. In our counseling session so long ago, he told me I'd better stop messing with "God's daughters".
The next week I emailed Kris and left voice messages. I wanted to talk to him one-on-one. I was assured by several people that he likely wouldn't meet me. They all told me Kris would be too busy to talk to me. That really pissed me off. Here I am producing porn in his town, sending local models to publications such as Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and websites all over the world, and he doesn't have time to talk to me?
Rob Spallone Vs. Derek Hay
It's the battle of the talent agents with Rob getting back into the agenting game after nine years away.
Derek's LADirectModels.com has been on top of the heap for about three years now.
Rob argues that Derek has achieved his success by bullying the girls and doing things that are illegal.
I bet Rob's gone to the feds and the LAPD about Derek. While such informing has been common in the porn industry since its inception, it's rare that pornographers will cop to helping law enforcement knock off a competitor.
Rob calls me Oct 27: "I did not go to the feds or to the cops. The cops came to me because I was shooting without a permit. I'm on my way to court now. You know me better than that. I'm tired of you busting my balls. I would never go to the cops or the feds on anyone. I am not a rat."
Derek gets many of his top girls from overseas. Some of them get stopped at LAX and sent back to their country of origin, banned from returning to the U.S. for at least five years. It seems that ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) knows Derek and some of his girls and they're are on the lookout for foreigners who come to the U.S. to work in the sex industry.
Rob says that many of Derek's foreign girls have IDs allowing them to the work in the U.S. despite the 2257 regulations which all trace to the same apartment in Oregon.
None of the other talent agents will represent foreigners who do not have U.S. citizenship or greencards allowing them to work in the U.S.
Rob is confident that law enforcement will shut down Derek, though this may not happen for years.
If Derek is the licensed and bonded agent that he claims, says Rob, then Derek can not collect money from the girls as well as the companies they work for. Agents are limited to taking no more than 10% of the fees their talent collect. Managers however have much more freedom to collect from both talent and producers.
Derek's critics argue that he has many conflicts of interest -- he represents and collects from talent, he performs, directs, and takes a cut from producers.
It seems that at least half of the hookers on Bellamodels.com are or have been LA Direct Models girls. If Derek is procuring for this prostitution service, as several porners have alleged to me, then he is breaking various laws.
Derek does not give a direct answer when asked if he procures for Bellamodels.com.
California labor code 1700.35 reads: "No talent agency shall knowingly permit any persons of bad character, prostitutes, gamblers, intoxicated persons, or procurers to frequent, or be employed in, the place of business of the talent agency."
Joe writes: "The LA Direct girls are not "employed" by the talent agency. They are "represented" by it. They may "frequent" it."

World Modeling For Sale
Jim South is retiring (or maybe he's just taking a long vacation starting Nov. 3) and Junior is going to get a bachelor's degree in Animation. JimSouthJr@worldmodeling.com and 818-986-4316.
From about 1975-2002, World Modeling was the number one talent agency in porn.
When I got into the industry in 1995, many people called Jim the most powerful person in the industry.
I talk to Jim at 1 p.m. Oct 25.
Jim: "I never thought we'd be making this call. It's time. Come this January, I am 31 years in this office. I've never had a vacation. Even though we closed between Christmas and New Year's, that's to get ready for next year. I am burned out."
Luke: "When did you make the decision?"
Jim: "I've been considering it for over a year. No malice. I had a good run for about 28 of the 31 years.
"What happened is that everybody became an agent. I'm not saying that they are licensed, but they act as agents. In the old days, you ran ads in the paper. The girls were local. It was me and Reb.
"When the internet started, we were flooding Southern California with ads in newspapers. An average week for us used to be 30 new girls. That stopped. When I called one of the newspaper I'd been in forever, and I told the ad taker I'd been dealing with forever that our calls were less and less, she said, 'Jim, our classified section is about a third of what it was five years ago. Yahoo.com is killing us.'
"It's a new way of getting girls. When they email you a picture, they probably email five other people. It's dogfight for who gets them. If they are out of state, you have to be very honest with them and not have them come out until you've emailed their pictures and had calls from people who want to shoot 'em. Then you have to report back to the girl all the information -- the day, the job, the scene, how much... When you do that, about 70% of the girls end up not coming out and you've wasted all that time."
Luke: "You have to be happy that Junior's leaving the industry."
Jim: "Yeah. He started college. A typical father, I would have rather he'd gone on to college. He started for a short time. But it's like somebody once told me, 'Jim, if you were your son's age and your father did what you do, would you rather work for him or go to school?'
"You can't blame him. He's in his 13th year. He was 18 when he started.
"If you go to college and it's a four year program, you have to make sure that that is what you want to do because you're committed for the whole shebang.
"Junior's smarter than I am. If he wants to do it, he can get it done. Most kids have to have a burning desire to get it done."
Luke: "What do you think of the 12 years he's spent in the industry?"
Jim: "To a point, they've been educational. Until the last year or two, he probably had a lot of fun. He's a good kid. He's not pushy. Most people like him. I would've rather he went in another direction. Work in a big corporation with stock participation and retirement programs and all that.
"He and I have changed a bit on the industry. We feel there's too many talents, too many directors, too many distributors, and too many people who act as agents. It used to be one big family, with a little jealousy here and there. It's not like that now. Girls are coming in from agents, managers, pimps, everywhere.
"I'll miss a lot of people. I consider them friends. On the other hand, I know me. I can't stay retired. I've worked since I was 13. I've always been a workaholic. Maybe the first four weeks, I'll be OK.
"I've ate, drank and slept this business. Everybody I know is in this industry. I don't have other friends on the weekend. We used to stay so busy that on the weekends, I just wanted to get away from the phone and not participate in anything and just relax.
"In the last 31 years, I have not had a real vacation.
"Until three or four years ago, I used to enjoy when Monday morning came so I could get up and work."
Luke: "What do you think of Rob Spallone getting back into the agenting business?"
Jim: "I told him you can't lose your temper. You can't handle everyone the same way. Some people you have to handle with kid gloves. Some people you have to be firm with. God bless him, he's asked me to join him. I'm considering it. He can get it done. He's got the drive, but he needs to be a people person."
Luke: "Do you take pride in your time in the industry?"
Jim: "We've got a pretty good rep as nice guys. Along with Russ Hampshire and a few other people, we carved a part of this industry."
Jim could always sell his agency to Rob Spallone, but then they'd probably find him sleeping with the fishes in the L.A. River.
Bob writes: "I note that the infamous World Modeling is up for sale. Anyone up for going in halves on it? Sounds life a dream gig. Sit by the phone. Snap a few Polaroids. A little "me time" with the applicants and then lunch. How much does Jim want? How much do you estimate it is worth?"
Dave writes: "But what is there to buy? Some old desks, 8088 pcs from the mid 80, and books of the ugliest talent available on the face of the earth that other agencies have rejected? Only viable asset World Modeling has for sale is the state license. Maybe it will fetch enough money to send Jr to community college for a semester."

i saw your article on jim south retiring....dont you think its funny that he states that he is a workaholic? yet the reason he got his ass kicked by every other agent is b/c his work ethic f---ing sucked? you cant book girls at world modeling before 9am....between noon and 1pm....after 5pm...and forget weekends. thats the reason why world modeling lost. jim south knows this and so does junior. junior could have very easily stayed in the office during those hours and never did. so they have no one to blame but themselves. LA Direct gets into the office at 8am, they are open every day until after 7pm...they dont take lunch breaks and they are open weekends and holidays. you can call their agents until about 10pm if you need to book a last second girl. thats work ethic.
jim south is a pioneer in our business. but lets call a spade a spade....world modeling was a dinosaur who refused to adapt or change. you cant blame that on anything but jim south.
Luke, Its a good thing that Worldmodeling is throwing in the towel. They had a really good thing going while it lasted but then they simply become irrelevant. Jim South never actively promoted any girl like a real agent does. He simply sat in his office and waited for producers to come to him and look thru his book. He never made calls, he never pitched a girl to any company. The most Worldmodeling ever did was to have "cattle calls" at their office. Once the internet age came into being it was the beginning of the end. For the first 9 years of the internet the worldmoding website didnt even have updated information on the girls. You had to call their office. Only in the last year or so did they update their website to have current pictures of models but you might have noticed the quality of girls has sunk to miserable levels. There are some real dogs on the website. Girls that need to get hit by a speeding truck.
Jim South Jr simply inherited his fathers work ethic or lack of. Rob Spallone buying Worldmodeling? What exactly are you buying? A list of nasty flakey girls and a very short list of producers that shoot $100 BJ scenes? Yeah okay. Rob, don't you have some FBI agents you need to be calling?
