Confessions Of A Sex Addict

February 21, 2006:

When I read the following blog, I was initially convinced that this was Holly's secret sex diary.

I've been trying to convince her for several months to go to Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings but she stubbornly insists she doesn't have a problem. She calls her appetite "healthy." I call it depraved.

Only after much investigation did I tentatively conclude the following blog is not by her. For one thing, there are too many typos. For another, she's not sexually attracted to women. Anonymous male Fed Ex drivers, yes, Mexican bartenders, yes, movie directors, yes, broke writers, yes, professors, yes, but not women.

A bloke at Sinrespeto.com emails me: "I found home-made pics of a girl called Michelle. Her nickname was Bi Valley Girl. On her blog, she says she works at Pink Kitty Adult Video and was the former girlfriend of pornstar Bisexual Britni. She claims an affair with Nautica Thorn."

June 29, 2006:

Michelle aka BiValleyGirl emails me:

That posting is from my blog. Yes, I am real and yes I am a woman. Yes, I am bisexualbritni's wife. X wife, actually.

>How is your sex addiction coming along?

I just spent 3 weeks in del amo addiction hospital down in Torrance. I am doing ok but I still crave to f---, all day, everyday. That blog reads like a joke but it more aptly my "step 4" for sex addicts anonymous. It is all quite real and very accurate. This is a rather serious issue most people do not understand, especially as it pertains to women. It is a hard thing to beat. I can damn near hear my pussy talking to me and getting me to do stupid thngs. It would make for a great interview.

>What's the address for your blog?

I have like 5 of them. I stopped updating it long ago as people thought it was a joke and yahoo and myspace kept taking them down. The one on newbienudes is way out dated.

I get Michelle on the phone Thursday afternoon. She's the office manager at AMA Talent.

Luke: "How do you have a connection to the porn industry?"

Michelle: "I met BiSexual Britni online seven years ago. She moved in with me from New York. We started doing an internet site for her. She got big. Max found her and wanted to do a shoot."

Jamie Ralph Gardner's Experience Of Erotica LA 2006

He writes on Carnal Comics:

I got to Erotica LA on Friday after 6pm. I didn't realize that there would be so much traffic on the trip up to LA. It took 4 hours to go from San Diego county to the Los Angeles convention area. Without the traffic, the trip probably would have been 2 and half hours. In the future, I will leave much earlier when I go to LA on a Friday. I didn't realize traffic would be so bad early on. According to Aurora Snow, it took her 7 hours to get to the San Diego Comic-Con on a Friday.

On Friday, I met Ginger Lynn for the 4th time. I told her that I didn't realize she was in American Pie: Band Camp until I watching the movie. In addition to the movie itself, Ginger is also featured in the Special Features section of the DVD. Ginger said that she believes that the Director deliberately made her look unattractive. I said that I didn't notice what she's talking about. I had read that she was in Devils Rejects but I forgot about it when I was watching the movie. It was a surprise when Ginger appears during a dream sequence. The Samhain movie is finally available in videostores under the title of Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain. I told Ginger that I was entertained by the movie but disappointed in it. The story seems mostly an excuse for gratuitous violence. The Friday the 13th movies have better characters then Evil Breed does. Ginger's character stands out because she has an Irish accent. According to Ginger, it took her months to learn how to do an Irish accent. Ginger has much more screen time then Jenna Jameson, Chasey Lain and Taylor Hayes. The porn actresses were emphasized heavily in promoting the movie but only Ginger gets significant screen time. Ginger and Taylor Hayes promoted the movie at the San Diego Comic-Con.

On Saturday, I met Christy Canyon, Gauge, Jenna Haze, Alicia Rio, etc. I bought Christy's book which is very interesting. I'm still reading "Lights, Camera, Sex!" In the book, Traci Lords comes across as a diva and a manipulator. Christy enjoyed having sex with Traci and mostly got along with her. On the first day that Christy met Traci, she already noticed Traci contradicting herself. On the set, an incident involving Traci on another movie set was talked about. Christy says that Traci and Tom Byron talked about Traci having had sex with 12 extras. This was not part of the movie. I have heard about the incident and it alledgely happened during the filming of Talk Dirty To Me 3 (the movie that has Traci playing a mermaid). Christy refers to the movie by a different name. I talked to one of the persons who made the movie. It was not an official interview.

I was at William Margold's booth and Serena was there. She told me that she acted in films from 1972 to 1982. Serena and I talked about the Taxi Girls movie. She spoke negatively about Jacov Jaacovi (The Director of Heavenly Desire and Co-Director of Taxi Girls). Bob Chinn was the uncredited Co-Director of Taxi Girls. Serena said that Jacov Jaacovi was loud and made women do things they didn't want to do. When I told Serena that Candida Royalle disliked Jacov Jaacovi, she said that everyone disliked him.

Margold showed Serena his scene in the Christi Lake comic book. When Serena read it, she said to Margold: "You're still making the same speech to women who want to get in the business." Margold said "I want women to know what they are getting into." Serena said she's 100 pages into writing a book about her life. Serena signed a contract for Carnal Comics to do a comic book about her. Serena has looked at the Triple-X Cinema comic book. When I left the booth, Serena said I had nice eyes. Serena seems like a really nice and down to earth person.

I have put 11 photos, that I took at the convention, in the photo section of the Carnal Comics Yahoo group. When I was photographing Gauge, she told me how handle the camera better. She said that I should hold the button down longer. My camera ran out of memory. I would have taken more photos if I could. I bought close to $300 worth of x-rated DVDs at the convention. I like the wide variety of DVDs available at the convention.

Spanish porn star Rebecca Linares Regrets Universal Max 7

She writes:

Yes, I did shoot with this person (Max Hardcore), and and that was one of worst days of my life. I am ashamed to work with him because he didn't respected me. I never want to work with him again. I saw him casually two days ago, and the pig threw me kisses! Repugnant! I didn´t enjoyed the scene I did with him, and I feel sad thinking that the people who like me would enjoy seeing me in that situation.

DVD Releases

According to Alison Casey of Understanding & Solutions, there were 11,849 DVD releases in 2005.

According to AVN, there were about 13,600 porn DVD releases in 2005.

I guess Understanding & Solutions does not count porn.

According to the VSDA, only 2% of sales (in dollars) of new DVD releases in 2005 are porn.

James DiGiorgio (www.simplyjimmyd.com) writes: "One reason Understanding & Solutions does not count porn is because, like Israel, there are many who don't recognize porn's right to exist."

I've scanned all the best-selling charts for DVDs and not a porn DVD is among them. I know Pirates has sold over 10,000 units but this is nothing compared to the sales of Shrek 2 in 2004 (18.2 million units).

If 2005 porn's 13,600 releases sold on median average 1,000 units per title, that would only be 13.6 million units. So one movie, Shrek 2, probably sold more DVD units and generated more dollars than all porn DVD releases put together.

Where am I wrong?

The best selling porn DVD of 2005 is probably One Night in Paris, which probably sold about 400,000 units. I hear Fashionistas sold at most 100,000 units in 2004.

According to Understanding & Solutions, the top U.S. retailers for DVDs in 2005 were:

* Wal-mart: 35%
* Target: 12%
* Best Buy: 9.3%
* Sam's Club: 4.2%
* Amazon.com: 3.5%
* Costco.com: 3.1%
* Circuit City: 2.8%
* Musicland: 2.5%
* Blockbuster: 2.0%

Out of all these retailers, only Amazon carries porn.

Victoria Silvstedt's (Playboy's Playmate of the Year 1997) At Work

Here's Vic with her sportscaster husband Chris Wragge (more). Again. Again. Victoria's story.

Anonymous posts:

This is some sort of marital payback. She is letting this loser talk to the bearded clam right out in plain view. Dam well knowin it will be in the news. The fact that this guy is a loser, she is rubbin it in her husbands face. He must have banged some chick and VS found out about it. This is a, take that MF'er. I heard of one pro baseballl players wife that said one time to her hubby, if you cheat on me and I find out about it, I'm going to fuck all of your teammates.

Anon posts: "I hate to be so shallow, but I seriously doubt these two are 'in love'."

Anon posts: "I think it is hilarious that she is so concerend about her bathing suit being on right so she does not show any body parts, and then she lets him eat her in public."

Anon posts: "This woman was Playmate of the year in 1997. Google her and see what a difference 9 years makes. Really sad."

Anon posts: "All those Playboy chicks are hookers on the side. I saw it on VH1, and I don't know why they'd lie to me."

Anon posts: "How low must a super model fall to have outdoor pudgy midget sex?"

Ms. writes: "As his T-shirt says, he's a bit of a Guru."

Fastidious Unger posts: "As the years go by and her ego becomes more delicate, this tall, semi-pudgy beauty would be an exciting beast in the sack. To all of you haters, I GAURANTEE you that she would suck and ride every ounce of DNA out of your body. Lower your standards! This ho is HOT!"

Anon posts:

She used to work for nicis girls. A high class prostitution ring. Nici used to hook rich guys up with models/playmates/pornstars. The prices ranged in the thousands, sometimes in the tens of thousands if you wanted to take them on a trip with you. Basically, girls who are hot, but with little talent, who have tasted the good life and are willing to do anything to keep the lifestyle do this sort of thing. After she won playmate of the year she fetched quite the price tag.

Anon posts:

She still escorts, in fact. She is 32 years old now so her modeling days are pretty much over, and all that nose candy and partying is taking its toll on her looks. Why she married Chris Wragge nobody understands, as she hasn't been faithful to him ever. She goes with arabs for big $$$$ all the time. Her best girlfriend is Playmate Carrie Stevens and they do ecorting gigs together all the time.

Whatever Happened To Jessica Jaymes?

She looked wrecked at Erotica LA. Her lipstick was drawn outside her mouth. She says she's been going through court battles.

Christian Mann's Reading List

Tod Hunter writes:

Edwin Newman is a humorist, and he and his fellow newsman-turned-language-writer William Safire are good for amusement. Safire outdid himself with "Fumblerules," prescriptions for How To Write Good written in ways that break the rules themselves: Safire's dictum "Don't verb nouns" is a classic.

The best writer on language I ever read was Richard Mitchell, who wrote a monthly pamphlet called "The Underground Grammarian." He collected his essays into four books, and before his death gave permission for all his works to be freely distributed on the Internet. Here's a link to Michell's work. If you want to download and print it it will cost you, but you can read all of it on-line for free.

Peter Farb's 1973 book "Word Play" is an excellent examination of how words define what and how we think. "Word Play" received the highest form of flattery from Donna Woolfolk Cross in her 1979 book "Word Abuse."

Christian Mann responds:

I’ve been obsessing (verbing intentional) about this since I read it. I love being schooled (verbing again) in grammar by Tod. I could malapropize (ouch) ad nauseum, but why should I? Your poor readers have suffered enough. It’s time for you to Holly Randall-ize your site (verbing a proper noun for the advanced practitioner).

Chris writes: "The best language writer that I have ever read is Dave Barry writing as Mr. Language Person."

Mike South writes:

Christian Mann has missed his calling. He is the only person in porn I can think of whose book (should he write it) I would look forward to giving a read. So long as he does it from an honest but humorist approach. The boy kin rite gud.

How Are Kendra Jade And Mary Carey?

Kendra says: "We're not speaking. I can't deal with all the Harold drama. Every five minutes, she's calling me, 'He just beat me up. Come and get me.' I come and get her and a few hours later, she goes back to him.

"I have enough drama of my own."

Child Pornography In Thailand?

Jane writes:

Luke, What would you need to blow the whistle on a very well know pornographer shooting minors in Thailand? This person has been changing IDs with models as young as 15 years old and selling the movies to known video companies.

What kind of proof would you need to run with this one and get this creep nailed?

I have already e-mailed information to one company telling them they needed to look out for the content and I never heard back from them, but from what I have heard they are all friends so they may not care.

Mermaids & Movies

Ugly George (website) writes June 28, 2006:

Just when the Nay-Sayers were loudly intoning that "Ugly George Is Passe", along cums the most-interviewed guy at the world-famous nude Mermaid Parade for Italian/Brazilian/Spanish (etc) TV networks world-wide. Look for more pix on the Net soon. Then today cums the 1st Serious Proposal for the Ugly George Documentary Movie-cumming soon to an Art House movie near you! It will include many (guilt-ridden) girls who swore to their (Jewish) families that they NEVER posed nude--wait till their rabbis catch them on the silver screen. There will be 'much wailing & gnashing of teeth'--as a well-known book sez..Stay Tuned! pic pic

Stop Reading This Blog!

Christian Mann responds:

Miscegenestic? Now that’s a two dollar word! In any event, if I’m porn’s resident intellectual (your words, not mine), we’re in big trouble. I’m not even a college graduate.

On another note, the anonymity of a poster named “Celeb” makes for an interesting oxymoron…

I think I have to stop reading your site. I’m starting to engage and before long I will be having e-arguments like my friend David Aaron Clark. I’m actually too busy for this kind of blogger’s masturbation.

I love it when pornographers put down masturbation, the sole reason for pornography.

I can think of few things healthier than what Christian calls "blogger's masturbation." To write is to see a mirror to your mind. It clarifies your thinking. Through engaging in reasoned discourse, you help make democracy possible (Allan MacDonell).

I Almost Got It Right

Porn's resident intellectual and the redoubtable leader of Video Team (for the very best in miscegenistic adult entertainment) Christian Mann responds:

Luke:

You almost got it right.

I had a visit from Jonathan Silverstein and Kevin KB Blatt about a year ago. We’re all friends, so it was pretty informal meeting.

At some point, one of them (I won’t say which), in the midst of a funny soliloquy, made reference to a “paradigm”, but clearly misused the word. In a joking spirit, I turned around, printed out the definition and handed it to the offending party. A good laugh was had by all.

The error in your story is the use of the plural… this has not occurred in “meetings”, but rather in this one meeting. Obviously, context is important. Having fun with KB and Jon is different than a pattern of me going around and obnoxiously correcting grammar. The only other person I do this with is Paul Fishbein, for the deliberate purpose of annoying him.

I will confess that grammar and speech are pet peeves… my mother drilled it into me to the degree that it takes on an OCD quality. The price of being my friend is tolerating my occasional pedantry, which in truth is more of an act than anything else. As my friends know, it’s just my “schtick”.

I would explain further, but I’m getting behind in my re-read of Strunk & White’s “little book”,(1918 edition). Just kidding… I’m actually reading Edwin Newman’s “Strictly Speaking”.

Celeb responds:

Indeed - Mr. Mann masters the double entendre better than a seasoned Centurian dominatrix who got her start with Jerry Deming in Garden Grove. "I would explain further, but I’m getting BEHIND in my re-read of Strunk & White’s “little book”, (1918 edition)."

A self-effacing nod and a wink to Christian's private pecadillos? Guffaw! LOL! I GET IT! Love those anal jokes especial.. uh. wait. . sorry. my mistake. Never mind.

Mike Ramone Vs. God

XXXScribe (not Tod Hunter) writes:

Mike Ramone states the following: "The four gospels were written decades after Jesus allegedly existed, by anonymous authors who didn’t know the “historical” Jesus (but assumed the names of his disciples) and who based their accounts on several generations of unreliable oral hearsay – the same hearsay that would not be admitted as evidence into any American courtroom."

Seeing as no original documents from the bible, old or new, have ever been discovered by any archeologist (the closest we have are the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are copies of certain O.T. passages), there is no way to state for certain when the gospels were written or by whom.

Nor is there any proof as Mike Ramone claims, with his "God-like" authority," that the original authors did or did not know Jesus personally. Ramone is simply parroting left wing theologians who agree with his pre-concieved prejudices.

Even the late Robert Funk, whom Ramone mentions, said of the Jesus Seminar (and their voting on Christ's recorded words): "Voting does not, of course, determine the truth"

And who were these acclaimed scholars? They are fellows of the Westar Institute founded by the late Funk, whose clear prejudice and against the Vatican and Protestant mainstream religion is clearly expressed on the Westar web site. Mike Ramone also fails to mention that the Jesus Seminar included fellow (and theologian?) "Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoven, a true scholar? Who will decide the existence of God next, perhaps Jerry Bruckhiemer?

Even the most educated athiest, which apparently Mike Ramone is not, is fully aware that Jesus Christ was mentioned in various historical records otuside the bible: The Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus, Greek historian Lucian of Samosata (who despised christians), Roman historian Suetonius, Pliny the Younger (the Governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor - an intolerant Mike Ramone of his day, who actually executed Christians for refusing to bow down and worship a statue of the emperor Trajan), philosopher Mara Bar-Sarapion, and Josephus, a historian (Jewish Antiquites) who wrote of Christ as a "wise man."

Mike Ramone goes on to further state: "the religious right is trying to legislate morality."

Newsflash for Mike Ramone, all legislation is imposing morality, whether based upon philosophical dogma or religious belief or corporate greed (Larry Flynt, Paul Fishbein, Dick Cheney, Jeff Skilling, etc....)

Apparently Mike Ramone knows about as much about lawmaking as he does about religous history. It's staggering to think that such an uninformed mind actually holds a position of authority, but of course, when that position is at AVN, it makes perfect sense.

AVN Editor Mike Ramone responds:

I stand by my statements, which are supported by many, many NT scholars – perhaps even the majority of NT scholars - who utterly disagree with the statements of “XXXScribe,” who seemingly doesn’t have the faith of his convictions to sign his name to them. But he does show real promise as a stand up comedian when, rushing to the defense of organized Christianity of all things, he accuses me of being “intolerant.” Good one, fella.

Btw, your headline shouldn’t be “Mike Ramone Vs. God,” but “Mike Ramone Vs. the Arrogant Human Beings Who Have the Conceit To Think They Speak for God and Therefore are Somehow Superior to the Rest of Their Fellow Humans.”

Hillbilly master of jurisprudence Mike South writes:

While Tod is to some degree, correct he is wrong in basis of fact. laws in this country are not ALL based on morality. some are without a doubt but the basic principles that have been abandoned are that laws are enacted to preserve individual rights as citizens of this country we have clearly defined rights of free speech, free religion, assembly, privacy and life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, among others laws are supposed to be enacted to protect these rights from people who would seek to infringe on them. Sadly our government has devolved into using the law to attempt to regulate behavior and the result is that per capita we have more people incarcerated who have done nothing to harm anyone or infringe on anyones rights than any other country on earth. We spend over 11 BILLION dollars a year to house non violent drug offenders (offenders whose only crime was personal use of the drug) in this country...and thats not even a fraction of what we spend on the "war on drugs" which, prior to the "war on terror" was responsible for stripping more rights from every citizen of this country than any time in history. We are electing lawmakers who seem to think the sole purpose of their job is to make criminals out of as many law abiding citizens as possible. What we should be electing are people who vow to take laws OFF the books and return us the freedom that once made this country great. It's a damn shame and it's time We the people took back our country.

Mike Ramone responds:

You tell him, Mike. Wish more Red State in-bred hillbillies thought like ya…. But Tod didn’t write the post you’re responding to (if I read it correctly), which says “not Tod.” Despite my differences of opinions with Mr. Hunter, he seemingly always has the balls to post under his name, not hide behind, all wussy-like, some bulls--- porn moniker. Speaking of XXXScribe, he seems to be another example of that curious species known as the religious porn fan. Just love to know how he reconciles being a believer with his apparent interest in XXX. The power of the religious to rationalize their conflicting behavior never ceases to amaze. Btw “scribe,” ever hear of spell check? Some “scribe.”

XXXScribe responds:

The notion that Mike Ramone is supported by the majority of NT scholars is like saying Jerry Falwell is supported by the majority of porn publishers. Ramone cherry picks his theologians, and his stacked deck is clearly biased, like the AVN Awards.

The reason I am an anonymous is because people in the adult industry are so above board, have no ties to organized crime and are psychologically the healthiest people on the planet. "Wanna see pic a of my wee wee? Five bucks."

Mike Ramone writes:

Burton Mack, professor of early Christianity at the School of Theology at Claremont, notes in “Who Wrote the New Testament?” that Jesus was crucified about 30 A.D., then writes: “Scholars locate the various writings of the New Testament at different times and places over a period of 100 years, from the letters of Paul in the 50s of the first century, through the writings of the gospels of Mark and Matthew in the 70s and 80s, the gospels of John and Luke around the turn of the second century…Scholars agree that…most of the writings in the New Testament were either written anonymously and later assigned to a person of the past or written later as a pseudonym for some person thought to have been important for the earliest period.”

Notice Mack doesn’t say “some scholars,” but simply “scholars.” Now maybe he’s not being academically honest there, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt until “XXXScribe” demonstrates otherwise. So how ‘bout it “Scribe?” Quote me a legitimate NT scholar from a legitimate university, not some suspect Christian diploma mill, who counters Mack in line with your assertions.

Btw, I’m still waiting for your explanation on how you reconcile your apparent religious beliefs with your apparent porn interests.

Victoria Silvstedt's (Playboy's Playmate of the Year 1997) Taste In Men

Anonymous writes:

I was saying this guy had better be well endowed or gifted at oral since he was fat and people responded by saying that hot guys are jerks and they'd rather date a nice guy with a "good personality."

Okay, so now that we know he's got back boobies, man boobies (on front), bucked teeth, a small wanger, poor fashion sense AND is 5'6.....can someone please tell me it's his "personality" that makes the difference? Does a gentlemen with a stunning personality ask you to kiss/sniff/lick the bottom of his feet?

Bottom line...he's a troll and she's a whore. And he still has excessive love handles.

Scorpion writes:

This is pretty funny considering that there's a sportscaster in New York named Chris Wragge who claims to be married to her.

[The two of them have just threatened Sky News with legal action regarding those pictures hence they were removed from this page. Check Google news.]

That must be one open marriage.

Relish writes on GFY: "The pictures of Victoria S being eaten out by midget millionaire were pulled from Sky. Seems as though her husband is a bit pissed she has been caught on film whoring."

Victoria Zdrok hates being confused with Victoria Silvstedt.

Jack writes about Erotica LA:

Did it strike you odd that so many wives and girlfriends were there with their husbands and boyfriends, taking pictures of their men with porn stars?

"What a lovely memory, my husband with the woman he fantasizes about, instead of me.."

Was The Deal (Playboy Buying ClubJenna) Already In Place?

A source writes: "Here's an interesting photo of Jenna [Jameson]. Why is it interesting? Check out the [Playboy] necklace. And keep in mind, the photo was taken in November, at the XBIZ awards. Coincidence? Or was the deal already in place?"

Tod Hunter writes:

Jenna did a layout for Playboy, at least the Cyber Club, and they may have given her a necklace then. I've seen the Rabbit necklace on Alexandra Silk, who was featured on Playboy TV's Sex Court show.

I wouldn't have made anything of that necklace if I had seen it in November.

Rocks writes:

My first thoughts of the pic you posted was wow what a great demonstration of Jenna's oral skills on what looks to be like a microphone and an award of some sort (notice the immaculate cupping technique). Anyways I am sure Playboy and Jenna have been working on something for quite some time now and it was only a matter of time before meetings were arranged and paperwork was drawn up (Playboy is just that type of company hence them purchasing cable stations from Vivid and etc). Jenna and Jay congrats! Maybe one day another starlet will follow in the same path (if the market allows).

Holly Randall's Secret Garden

movie movie movie movie movie

Holly IMs me Tuesday morning that she has a nasty cold. I hadn't heard from her since Friday afternoon so I knew something was up.

Being the courtly considerate gentleman that I am, I picked up the phone to provide comfort and a sympathetic ear. Also, I was a tiny bit curious about her nude shoot Saturday. Maybe she'd torn a muscle spreading?

Once we begin talking, I only make a passing reference to her shoot because it's not something that matters to me. No, I am not concerned if Holly wants to throw away her life and never find a husband.

A couple of minutes into my phone call, I notice something that often upsets me about Holly -- she is not giving me her 100% undivided attention. She's checking her email.

Now, I multi-task all the time when I talk to her, but that doesn't mean I like it when she does it to me. I am a narcissist. I must be the center of attention at all times or I get upset. I need Holly and company, each day, to tell me who I am so I can act accordingly.

Holly giggles over a photo of a model. My irritation rises into pique and finally anger.

Jack writes: "I can completely agree with you, though I'd never admit it online. I do the same thing and it drives me nuts when women do that to me. A distracted conversation is worse than no conversation."

I cut her off and hang up the phone abruptly.

I'm so upset, I don't even bother to transcribe our phone call. I'm over that.

Instead I list all the intellectual, moral, and psychological reasons why young women such as Holly destroy their lives by posing nude.

It skeevs me out to think that something precious that she once shared with me is now going to be given to the world.

Holly posing nude upsets me and I don't like that.

At 2 p.m., I wake up from my nap and decide to add that she's 15 pounds past her playing weight and that was another reason she should not pose nude.

WillieD writes on XPT: "Uhh, DUC, calling your gal-pal fat--and then making it public--probably not going to score any points. Remember, this is not the woman to who you lent your tighty-whities in Tampa, this is the woman who agreed to borrow them."

Bad_Bad writes:

Wow if Holly dumped that guy he'd be up creek without a paddle, he's very dependent upon her for his positive affirmations. I've never seen or heard of her making snide comments about him. I hope she picks out a character defect of his and starts to needle him about it constantly. She'd have him a babbling idiot (well more so than he already is) in short order.

I would not like it at all if Holly wrote about me as I write about her. I'd feel hurt and angry.

3:54 p.m. The phone call I've been dreading arrives. It's Holly. She's going to ream me.

I answer in a weak defeated voice, playing my passive aggressive card. "Hello?" I whisper.

"Hey, whatcha doing?" asks a playful Holly.

"Just working on my website."

"I want you to meet Bonnie. Would you like to come over?"

A wave of relief pours over me. Normally I would never drive through rush-hour traffic for a woman unless I was in the early stages of courting her or in the certain stages of bedding her. But Tuesday afternoon I'm so grateful that Holly has not flushed me down the toilet of history, I'm willing to fight bumper-to-bumper traffic to meet her new dog, return her DVDs, and pick up some green beans from her garden. That seems like a generous return for 25-minutes roundtrip of driving.

I want to believe that my burden of guilt for unsportsmanlike conduct is dissipating.

"How long have you been sick?" I ask.

"Since Sunday morning," she replies. "I'm not contagious."

"OK then."

I park outside her house. Holly is playing with her dogs in the front yard. I pull her mail out and hand it to her. I am careful not to touch her so I'm not contaminated by her cold, just an outward manifestation of her porn taint.

To think that once we sported carefree, oh, I could've been a contenda. I could've been Bob Woodward. Instead I'm the Matt Drudge of porn. And it's all Holly's fault. She forces me to write on porn every day. How I hate it!

I've never gotten to study the Word with Holly, nor play her more than three Air Supply songs. She has always refused my keenest needs. Witchy woman!

No wonder they put them to death in Salem.

If it takes Holly going to prison to clean up this industry, than that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I show up in my black shorts, white shirt, white socks and white sneakers. Holly's eight-month-old puppy Bonnie takes to me right away.

"She likes you," says Holly. "She normally doesn't respond to strangers like that.

"You look like you're dressed to either play tennis or become a martyr."

I have black arm bands near my elbows to redirect the strain on my ligaments.

"Do you think they make me look athletic?" I ask.

"No, they make you look like a dork," says Holly.

I talk to her about monogamy. I wax lyrical about its virtues and how I look forward to its moral rigor.

Well, that's how I would like to remember what I said, but I fear I just moaned about my moral weakness. I believe G-d is keeping me a failure because if I ever attained any success, I'd play around with women instead of staying true to my one love.

"You know the shoot was only implied nudity," says Holly, deciphering the reason for my dark mood.

"I thought it was all spead shots," I whine.

She demonstrates how she kept the goodies covered up. She shot on a horse and in the studio with her photographer friend Beatrice.

"Why does she want to shoot you nude? Is it just what two girls do together like putting on make-up?

"I guess Beatrice is like a painter. Nudes are one of the basic forms of painting."

I explain to Holly that I worry her posing nude will lead her into drugs and down the path of destruction.

"Were you offered drugs to pose nude?"

"No."

Holly yawns. She's about to fall asleep on me.

That's wrong! I demand 100% of her attention.

She's on Dayquil, which relieves her cold symptoms for a few hours at a time.

Doesn't that have alcohol in it? Soon she's going to be sipping vodka, for medicinal purposes only.

We visit her garden. She goes into fits of ecstasy when she finds her first ripe tomatoes. She puts them in a plastic baggie for me along with some strawberries and green beens.

I notice her house is particularly clean. It smells good.

"When was your housekeeper last here?" I ask.

"Not for a few days. It's all thanks to Aria Giovanni."

"Where is she?"

"At a photoshoot."

She empties the dryer of Aria's lacy things. Holly, a B-cup, plays with Aria's enormous bras.

Holly writes on XPT: "I only shot implied nudity, nothing actually shows, but Luke was mistaken and thought I did fully nude spread shots. That's why he was so upset initially."

Brian writes: "Luke: Why aren't you tapping that? I can tell just by the way she looks and acts in your videos that she is in to you BIG TIME! She is also gorgeous and seems like a real nice girl. What are you waiting for?"

From Cindisnakedtruth.com:

Cindi-So have you ever had sex in Luke’s serial killer van?
Holly-No. I have never even been in his van. I have never even seen the inside. I refuse to get in that van.
C-Has Luke ever paid for a date?
H-Once when we went to a kosher restruant and he has a tab there. And he bought something else once, I think it was coffee. I forget.
C-I can’t believe that doesn’t bother him.
H-You know what, I can’t believe it doesn’t bother him either.
C-Luke is such an old-fashioned gentlemen, and the way things are supposed to be is where the wife stays home and has babies and cooks and cleans. I would think that part of that would be paying for everything. I guess not.
H-It’s an odd idiocyncrasy with him because I have dated a lot of guys that are just as poor, well I don’t know if anyone is as poor as Luke. Close enough, and I offered to pay and it’s bothered them a lot. It has actually been a major problem in a lot of relationships I’ve had.
C-Do you often hang out at the hovel (Luke’s apartment).
H-Hell no. I have only been there two times and I think both times was because he was sick.
C-Does he really not have a bed?
H-No he really doesn’t.
C-No mattress, no nothing?
H-He recently got some kind of magnetic theraputic thing for the floor, but it’s ridiculous.
C-Don’t you often wonder, I mean I know that I do. He has a lot of illnesses and a lot of problems and takes medication. Do you wonder if it has something to do with the environment he puts himself in? He lives in a Hovel and sleeps on the floor. He drives a crap van. He writes about a thing he hates and that conflicts him. The fact that he eats so many carbs, and sugar and doesn’t eat any meat? That’s all so unhealthy. Maybe he needs a fresh environment and some turkey or chicken.
H-That could be it. But he was raised that way as a child. He was never allowed to eat meat. He was very healthy as a child, and as a young adult. He used to run marathons. And when his Chronic Fatigue Syndrome hit, it’s since then he’s been unhealthy. But he’s had basically the same diet. That’s a good question because I don’t know, I wonder if that kind of hit when he started living on his own. Because he doesn’t have a kitchen, he really doesn’t have anyway to make himself good meals.
C-It bothers me, and I worry about him. His father would make lentil and potato and carrot stew which is healthy. But he eats the glazed donuts and bagels and cream cheese at all these sets and at these writer meetings because that is all there is.
H-He mainly lives on peanut butter, chocolate and banana smoothies. I’ve made him food many times. There is a soy, basil, tomato soup that I make that he loves. I’ve made him food before and bring it over for him, but I can’t feed the guy. I’m not his mother.
C-I know.
H-I do what I can. But I can’t support his eating habits.
C-I know Holly, but it just always bothers me. I want him to come to my house and let me take care of him, just for a week. And say Luke-You are going to eat whatever I put in front of you and sleep in a real bed, and write poetry about flowers. Just to see if he feels better.
H-I know, but he is sooo picky. He doesn’t like this. He doesn’t like that. He’s a vegetarian that doesn’t like vegetables. I’m serious. One of the first times we went out to eat, he ordered a tostado salad and he picked all the vegetables and ate the beans and the cheese.
C- That's funny, you just called him picky. And yesterday I called you picky. You two do have a lot of things in common.

I am doomed to spend my life leaching off women. I don't think that's so bad considering the prodigious efforts I make on my blog for the sake of humanity. It's like I'm a poet laureate and I deserve the thanks of the grateful female.

Gram Ponante writes on Fleshbot:

Ford began blogging about Randall, and Randall willingly agreed to be blogged about, as soon as the unlikely pair began dating.

The rest is in Loftus' site, complete with pictures of Ford when he began looking like his adult self at his eighth grade graduation.

I asked Ford what it was like to be the Written About person for a change. "I am keenly conscious of where I am vulnerable," he said. "Cindi is a friend who would never knowingly hurt me, therefore I have no fear about her series.

"If a friend is writing about me, I have little fear. If an enemy and they are good at what they do (is writing about me), I have fear."

"Fear is the opposite of love. God is love," I said.

"Yeah, but He does not write about me in earthly publications," he said.

Ministry to pornographers ‘crossed a line,’ Mohler says

By David Roach LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--A pastor who runs an anti-pornography ministry and passes out Bibles with “Jesus Loves Porn Stars” printed on the covers has crossed the line of appropriateness in his effort to share the Gospel with the porn industry, R. Albert Mohler Jr. said on ABC News World News Tonight June 25.

Appearing in the news segment with Mohler was Craig Gross, the leader of the anti-porn ministry XXXChurch.com. Gross regularly attends porn conventions driving his “porn-mobile” and says the new Bible, the text of which is a paraphrase of “The Message,” is a way to reach sinners like Jesus did. He handed out his Bible at the recent Erotica convention in Los Angeles, according to ABC News.

“These younger guys seem to say that older evangelicalism is just out of touch,” said Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. “In a rush to be relevant I think these guys have crossed a line that I would not cross.”

Gross’ Bible was well received by those in the porn industry, but some Bible publishers have refused to print it, ABC News reported, adding that the American Bible Society wrote Gross a letter refusing to publish his Bible “out of a sense of propriety,” saying the “wording … was misleading and inappropriate.” It finally was printed by NavPress.

Gross said Bible companies “just freaked out” and thought, “I’ve never seen something like this, and I don’t know if we can do this.”

Gross argued that his new methods of evangelism are necessary to reach people in the adult entertainment industry. “We’re trying to reach a new audience, and so we can’t just do things like our parents did, like the generation before us,” Gross said.

Gross also said he believes Jesus would attend porn conventions with him if He walked the earth today. “I believe Jesus, He’d be in the show with us,” Gross said. “He’d be mixing it up with these people. Because He doesn’t look at them as porn stars, or porn producers. He looks at us all the same.”

Mohler said he admires Gross’ intent of reaching people with the Gospel but believes the new Bible is packaged in a way that demeans the Word of God. “It is, after all, the Word of God, and there’s no way to package it as just another book,” Mohler said. “It’s not just another book.”

Gross challenged critics to find a better way to take the message of Christ to the porn industry. “If they have another approach, if they have another idea, come join us,” Gross said. “We’re here riding solo here. There’s nobody else doing this. … Sure we’re gonna maybe make some mistakes along the way, but we’re trying.”

Mohler predicted that Gross’ Bible may end up as a passing fad and said its cover commits a major error by misleading people about the book’s content. “I just have to wonder what people think when they see that cover,” Mohler said. “In other words, are they expecting the Bible or are they expecting something else?”

The Porn-Mafia Connection

Kenny Gallo writes on the HollywoodMafia blog :

The whole benefit for Leslie Glass was cool. I really just kicked back with Deven. We all had rooms at the Valley Hilton. I ended up talking with Deven [Davis?] all night. The next morning I had to get up at dawn to drive Jill and Jenna to a Penthouse shoot in Santa Monica. I had to drive back up to the Valley to meet Louie Gelfuso.

We were eating at Jerry's Deli once again. Louie was pissed off because Joe Isgro had refused to give them a loan. Joe had told them he was not Shylocking. Joe was Shylocking, but he was smart. Why loan out cash you will never see. Louie told me he was going to call his buddy Paulie in Denver. Paulie later came to town and loaned Louie cash. Did Paulie ever get his cash back? It is hard to say.

I know that Porno Mike [Esposito] leased Louie a car. I also saw John DeMattia get checks from Porno Mike. Porno Mike was a good sport. I got 50 porno's a week from him. I never gave him a dime. I sold these at the store and would get at least 9.99, but I would sell most at 19.99 so that was worth the time it took me to pick them up.

I did find time for trouble in the OC. Peter North aka Al Brown Aka Matt Ramesy the gay star. Got all bent out of shape over my telling people he was gay. Look if you take a load on film, you are gay! So he had this Bonnano associate Angelo Ales come by to see me. Angelo is a scammer, but not a tough guy. He travels with large guys or a guy. Angelo uses his presence as a threat. He likes to throw out that he is with this guy or that guy. What do I care? I was in California.... So he came by the store. I just shut him down by saying my guy would call him. I told him Matt Ramsey was an asshole.. Angelo was an idiot because it was my place. The place had already become a hangout for criminals.

I keep getting a lot of mail about Peter "Shakes" Milano being a capable guy. Shakes was an earner, bigtime. People have to understand that in order to get made you do not have to actually pull the trigger on a hit. You could be a wheelman or a backup shooter. Then people have to understand that Shakes was the son and Nephew of very powerful Cleveland LCN guys. Most LCN families really only have a few guys who do all the heavy work. The former Boston Underboss that people speak about Jerry Angiulo never did any work. He had two brothers that could and would do the dirty deeds. He also had Larry Bione and his whole gang to enforce his rule. Raymond put Larry with Jerry for that reason. Do you think guys like JR Russo would really listen to Jerry? People can say what they want about Shakes, I am no fan! Shakes has been boss of a family longer than most LCN guys.

I was shooting a lot of porn for this company AGV (All Good Video) that was run by this guy named Eli. Eli was a loud mouth who smoked pot all the time. He used to yell at everyone that worked for him. I was getting videos for my work so it paid off. Working for AGV just kept me in the porno loop, so I knew who all the new people were in the biz. Eli was an ass. He yelled at me and I pulled him aside and told him that I was not that kind of person. He did it again so I just left. True to form Eli soon lost his company. I think he lost his GF, the owner of a large SUCCESSFUL company in the Biz.

Jill Kelly started her own Porn Company with a series called Perfect Pink. It was well shot and had killer covers. The girls were hot! The posters she made were awesome. Deven Davis, Bonita Saint and Jill. She was in business with Dewey [Toshi Gold] from Sacred Pools. I was at the whole shoot and shot behind the scenes footage. I still have it! I was still up to whatever came my way.

My buddy from Florida moved to California. Billy moved into a house owned by Richie the disbarred lawyer... Richie was always good for some cash. Richie was involved with stocks and he was working with this guy we call Stockboy. Stockboy was from Brooklyn and he had worked on Wall St... He was a Stock promoter and he worked the Chop Houses. He had lost his license, but he was working with Richie to merge companies and take them public. This was the tech stock, day trader time. Soon I had a few brokerage accounts open.

Whatever Happened To KM Digital Media?

I've emailed them several times over the past few weeks and received no reply.

Today I emailed Mike Rubenstein's company (he used to own Devil's Films): "Are you guys still in the DVD replication business? I heard you went out of business, possibly because of a lawsuit from Philips."

They were predicted by one DVD newsletter to do $6.5 million in replication work in 2006.

The "Sweet 16 Party."

Erotica LA Coverage

June 25. I run into Summer Haze and her husband Craig Valentine. They tell me about videotaping Summer's extensive surgery on July 27.

Craig: "Playboy is going to tape it and we're going to broker it.

"They're going to do a hysterectomy, a full-body liposculpting, a full face lift, a mini lift, upper and lower eyes, brow lift..."

Summer: "I'm going to keep my 37 inch hips and my nice booty."

Craig: "We're going to unveil her at Exotic Dancer."

Scott Nails says he is not getting married to his girlfriend Lacie Heart, a Vivid girl.

I'm told that Brett Rockman was having sex with Gwen Diamond in his booth on the show floor Saturday night.

Heather Veitch complains about the screening of animation porn with aliens splooging on the faces of women.

Luke: "You've never had sex with an alien?"

Heather: "No. Just an illegal alien."

Julia Ann has been doing make-up for eight months, her next profession. She dances on the road a couple of weekends a month.

I chat with three Mark Spiegler girls. They slip into his growl and mannerisms.

Mark used to have an office but found he rarely went there, so now he just works from home. Many girls live with him until they save enough money to get their own apartment.

One girl recalls coming in for an interview and Mark was sprawled on the bed. He interviewed her from that position. Once he knew she had credits, he said he didn't need to see her naked.

Spiegler girls say he looks out for their best interests. He doesn't over-work them. He gets them to save their money. He drug-tests his girls and those who've had drug problems in the past often carry around their test results.

I see Pastor J.R. Mahon at the XXXChurch booth talking to a young lady sucking a lolipop. She eventually walks off.

JR comes over to me and Pastor Mike Foster. "That was the strangest thing I've seen yet. This young lady, a porn star, was sucking a lolipop. She takes the lolipop and puts it in her situation down below and then she pops it back in her mouth and says, 'God loves sex.'

"At which point, we started having a discussion about who God really is.

"It was a real porn show moment.

"It was a regular sucker, just like you'd buy your kids.

"Luke, put that in your column."

Luke: "I thought it was unprofessional when you asked her for her phone number because you wanted to counsel her."

JR: "Oh right."

I love teasing these guys.

I hear funny stories of people having meetings with Video Team head Christian Mann who all of a sudden will turn his back on them, print out the definition of a word, and hand them the proper meaning along with a little lecture on the importance of using words correctly.

Director Michael Payne Argues That Pornography Is Prostitution

He blogs:

...[S]ome of the most powerful porn companies who emphasize on the cinimatic values of pornography (such as Vivid, Wicked, etc.) will co-finance a multi million dollar project with a Sci-Fi/Super hero plot (I'm thinking War of the worlds meets The X-Men), they'll hire mainstream actors to perform side by side with the members of the free speech coalition who openly defend pornography (I'm thinking Brad Pitt banging Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy getting down and dirty with Angelina Jolie ), ILM will provide the special effects, John Williams will write the score, and Paul Thomas will co-direct with Brett Ratner, since they both are some of the greatest filmmakers in the human history, and they both really know what they're doing. the movie will be released world wide on the 4th of July, and the ticket sales will be spent on launching multiple drug rehab facilities all across the porn valley, and those facilities will treat druggie girls and porn junkies, free of charge. That will be one small step for mankind, one giant leap for pornography.

Holly Randall's Got A Nasty Cold

I call her at work Tuesday morning. She sounds horrible.

I tease her that she caught her cold while posing nude Saturday.

Why do women such as Holly, 27, pose nude? She doesn't need the money. She's no model. By her own estimation, she's 15-pounds or so overweight. She has everything to lose by posing nude and nothing to gain. (My guess is that most decent men would never marry a woman who's posed nude.)

Because she wants the attention and she's not willing to do the hard work necessary to get attention for noble pursuits such as non-pornographic photography and writing.

A woman's deepest fear is that she is not worthy of love. By posing nude and getting attention for it (Holly's listed in a forthcoming Celebrity Sleuth magazine's 25 Sexiest People issue), a woman feels desired and that she's worthy of love. A woman who knows she's worthy of love doesn't pose nude (because she puts a high value on herself, she doesn't share herself promiscuously, photographically or otherwise).

Dennis Prager writes:

By showing more of their bodies, women can announce that they are women. There are other ways young women can publicly demonstrate their distinct female identity -- for example, by wearing feminine clothing and other feminine behavior, being a wife, being pregnant and being a mother.

But those ways are increasingly ignored, deferred and discredited.

Dennis Prager writes:

With no feminine role to aspire to, many young women feel powerless. The one area of power left for them is sexual. The more a young woman has bought into feminist notions of equality (i.e., the sexes are essentially the same and there is no such thing as a woman's role), the more she is likely to flaunt her sexual power. It is the only power left to her.

GT writes: "Luke, your shelf never had these books on it before the BABES showed up. An awesome day in the life of Luke."

Cindi Loftus Interviews Holly Randall

C-What is the hardest thing you ever had to tell anybody, besides turning them down. You must of had to tell people things that you didn’t want to say.

H-I’ve definitely had to tell this one girl that, we shot her once and then we shot her again a month and a half later and she had gained like 10-15 pounds and she was a small girl. It really showed. It definitely showed in her stomach. So as a woman I understand weight issues, I’ve been battling my weight my whole life. But I don’t make a living in front of the camera. I can get as fat as I want and I’ll still have a job. I told her in the nicest way that I could, "You’ve gained a little bit of weight. I want to shoot you again, and I want you to be in the best shape possible cause I want to get the best shoot on you." I gave her some pointers like spinning class, running and cut some carbs, watch the sugar, no sodas. I told her she was a beautiful girl and she had a beautiful face. You can always work on your body, that is something you can change and control.

C-So she didn’t get pissed?

H-No she was fine, but she took it really to heart. She was only eighteen and after that she refused to eat.

C-You, Holly Randall, are the cause of the poor girls anorexia!

H-I know, I felt terrible. Because then she ended up collapsing and having to go to the emergency room. I thought it was all my fault, but then I talked to her and she said a couple other photographers had told her the same thing. And I don’t know how they put it. But I tried to feed her.

It sounds like Maya Hills.

Asia Carrera Update

She writes on AsiaCarrera.com:

06/26 - Today was a pretty good day. It's a little after 9 pm and I haven't even cried yet today. That's a first so far. I was able to take Catty out to do some stuff today because my loyal assistant dictator bought Catty a dvd player for the car. She loves it - thank you me2!

Ok, since I am not going to vent about anything today, I will explain why I am asking for donations. I know the media made me out to be this financial wizard, and I guess I WAS, at one time. When I was around 27, I had a lot of money invested in the stock market. I had almost enough to buy a nice house in LA for cash, which is a lot of money for a 27-year old kid to have saved up. But then came the tech collapse, the stock market tanked, and I lost half my savings overnight. I was sick about it, but I know bigger and better people than me got burned, so what could I do? All I could do was keep working and keep saving.

But then came another knockout punch, my boyfriend of 5 years got deported back to England, and my world just fell apart. I suffer from extreme co-dependancy, in addition to social phobia, so I was trapped at home alone with my overwhelming grief. I worked just enough to pay my bills and keep travelling to England every few months to see my boyfriend, and I saved nothing.

In fact, I am ashamed to admit, I developed a terrible online gambling addiction, and blew through half of my savings yet again, over the next two years. I never cashed out, because I didn't want to stop gambling - then I would have to feel my loneliness and despair! There were days I wouldn't even get out of bed because I couldn't see any reason to. The rest of the time I spent gambling and blowing my savings.

Then I met Don... and everything turned to sunshine in an instant, I was so freakin' happy every day! We were SO in love, SO fast, it was a true fairytale come to life! He moved in after two weeks, we were engaged after a month, married at 3 months, moved to Hawaii and got pregnant 3 months after that. The happiness just never stopped, it seemed too good to be true! Well, I guess it was... *sigh* ok, where was I...

So anyway, I kicked my gambling addiction after I met Don, because I didn't need that emotional crutch anymore now that I had him. But all I had left was 1/4 of the savings I'd had before the market crash, and I used that to put a down payment on this house when we found out I was pregnant. So the last of my money went into this house. I make a little money off the site each month, but that was just "fun money", to buy toys for Catty and stuff, not enough to pay the bills.

Don paid all the bills, and he was happy to do it. He never wanted me to go back to porn, he wanted to take care of me, and I wanted to be a loving fulltime mommy to his babies. However Don had nothing in the bank either. He was a "live for the moment" kind of guy, he figured "it's just money, I'll make more" and he didn't really talk to me about what was up with the finances. And I didn't ask because it wasn't my business. I was happy to just worry about the babies and not money for the first time in my life! But when I asked him about life insurance and even got the forms for him, he put them aside on his desk and said he'd take care of it when business picked up a little. And of course, as you now know, he never wound up getting any.

Bottom line, I'm scared because we have nothing in the bank. And if you ever read my essay on "Why I Did Porn" on the bio page, you know that when I ran away from home I had nothing at all, and did things I didn't want to do just so I could eat and have a place to sleep. And I have had a deep-seated fear ever since of being put back in that position. Having kids to worry about now only makes it worse! I don't want to be standing on a street corner with two babies, begging for money!! I just don't have the "everything will work itself out" mentality, because I've BEEN on that street corner with nothing, and it is an experience I am terrified of repeating!

Ok, so there you have it, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the whole reason why I'm asking for donations from you, my loyal fans. And I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has helped me out so far, with donations, kind words, Walmart giftcards, baby clothes, books on grieving, and talking to me in the chatroom. All of it, every bit of it is SO appreciated, thank you thank you thank you. Ok, guess I'll wrap this all up with another reprint of the donation info in case anyone missed it: (yes, it is totally humiliating for me to ask you guys for money, but when I look at Catty and my 8-month pregnant belly, I just feel so scared for the future! ARGH!!) There's a spot on my sales page where you can donate up to $100. Or you can use my Paypal Account, to address asiac@asiacarrera.com (that's asiaC@, not just asia@). And for those who requested a snail-mail address, here you go: Asia Carrera 875 W Redcliff Dr. #2, PMB 144 Washington, UT 84780

Thanks everyone, for all your support, you've been SO good to me the past two weeks!! I love you guys!

No One At Porn Site Responding To Area Man's Bad Link Report

CHARLESTON, SC—Frank Connor's repeated e-mails to the webmaster of Assmouthblowout.com concerning a bad link have gone without a response for more than a week, Connor said on the Erectionconnexxxion.net message board Tuesday. "Who do you have to blow to get them to fix the link to CumSoakedMILFs.com, for Christ's sake?" Connor said, emphasizing that, although the site is free, there was no excuse for such unprofessional behavior. "If they don't get back to me or fix the link soon, I'll have to start a petition to have the guys at Slam Train stop listing them as a featured site." Connor says he is also boycotting the website's advertisers, including Fleshlight and Boy Butter, "until such time as they start treating this loyal customer in a more professional manner."

Email Luke photo IDs.

Bishop writes on XPT about Gia Jordan's pictures: "Luke you must stop pressuring Holly for sex and pressure her for rudimentary photo pointers. A friend would tell you that this thread has more photo value than an entire year of your unfortunate clicking. I know you are a writer by trade but if you are going to include photos in your offerings, consider this a wake-up call and take a class or hire someone."

I walk into Erotica LA at 11:10 a.m. and see Alicia Rio. I raise my camera.

She puts out her hand to stop me. "I charge!" she says.

"Press," I say and show my badge.

"Oh, you've written bad things about me," Alicia says.

"I haven't written anything about you [for many months]."

"That's what Dominic says.

"Anyway, I'm not comfortable with how my body looks. I don't want a lot of pictures."

An hour later, I run into Alicia again and she apologizes for jumping down my throat.

I don't try to take her picture.

I hang out at the XXX Church booth with Pastor J.R. Mahon, who I met in Las Vegas in January. Here's the .wav file of our chat.

The Church was featured on ABC's World News Tonight June 25.

JR: "JimmyD comes up [Saturday, the show was open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.]. He's a friend of the ministry. We were catching up. He has new grandkids. Out of the corner of our eye, we see Ron [Jeremy]. Ron is an old friend from the road. We debate him regularly. All of a sudden we have two porn legends sitting at the XXX Church booth and a crowd of people around us. We were talking about kids and wives. It was surreal for us."

Luke: "Do you think you are making any difference in anyone's life?"

JR: "Absolutely. The Bibles were able to spark a lot of great conversation."

The volunteers at the booth handed out over 3,000 "Jesus Loves Porn Stars" Bibles yesterday.

Here's the first page:

Does Jesus really love porn stars? Absolutely. Now that may go against what you thought about Jesus but it is true. You see Jesus loves porn stars as much as he loves pastors, soccer moms, liars, thieves, and prostitutes. In his eyes, we are all the same. We're all just people in need of a savior who can come into our world and fix our messed up lives. The Bible says that we have all messed up. Whether you're making porn, working at a coffee shop, or running a church we are all sinners. And despite this fact, Jesus really, really loves us. He is not angry with us. He is not too busy for us. He isn't waiting for us to get our junk together. He just says come. Come now. Check out what I have for you. A life that is greater then you could ever imagine.

So what you're holding in your hands is a New Testament written in a contemporary language, which contains this radical message of Jesus. It hasn't been altered or changed. And sorry, no pictures for those who aren't big readers. Just pure truth. Just the story of Jesus and how he loved the unlovable and rebelled against the religious rules of the day. As you read through this book you will discover what Jesus really thinks about people just like you and me. You will see how he had incredible love and compassion for the town whore (Luke 7) and tax collectors, and those whose lives were a complete mess. How Jesus handles these people might surprise you.

So it is our desire that you read this book. And don't read it like a normal book. Find yourself in the story. See what it says to you. Figure out what all this stuff means for you and your life. It is our prayer that it impacts you the way it has impacted us and so many others over the ages. It is radical, groundbreaking, and surprising. Almost as radical, groundbreaking, and surprising as saying Jesus loves porn stars. Now get reading.

AVN Editor Mike Ramone writes:

“Just pure truth”? That hasn’t been “altered or changed? Please. The four gospels were written decades after Jesus allegedly existed, by anonymous authors who didn’t know the “historical” Jesus (but assumed the names of his disciples) and who based their accounts on several generations of unreliable oral hearsay – the same hearsay that would not be admitted as evidence into any American courtroom. Small wonder then, that the Jesus Seminar, a large group of New Testament scholars who know considerably more about those texts than the XXX Church or many other blindly faithful fundamentalists know (just as many atheists/agnostics/secular humanists know more about the roots of Christianity than do, well, Christians), has concluded that Jesus never said 82% of the sayings ascribed to him in the NT, words that were, in fact, made up by his followers after the fact in order to spread their new faith via their propaganda.

And based on those texts, the religious right is trying to legislate morality, impose their beliefs on others and most importantly for this discussion, shut down this industry? Now that’s obscene. And absurd.

Tod Hunter writes:

So Jesus only allegedly existed, and he didn't say most of what is ascribed to him.

Reminds me of the old Shalom Aleichem story.

A man loaned his neighbor a plate. The neighbor breaks the plate and then sneaks into the man's house to return it. When the man confronts his neighbor, the neighbor says: "You never loaned me a plate. Besides, it was broken when you loaned it to me. And it was in one piece when I brought it back."

Tod - Not much of a Biblical scholar, but I know faulty logic when I see it.

Mike Ramone replies:

No faulty logic Tod, but perhaps faulty understanding on your part. A good case can be made that a “historical” Jesus never existed, namely that the only references to him are found in the Christian propaganda known as the New Testament, not in any of the more secular histories of that time (the one exception is considered by many NT scholars to be a forgery). But the early Christians who wrote the NT obviously may have still believed that a physical Jesus existed decades earlier (or maybe not: some early Christian sects believed only in the Jesus of the spirit, considering the concept that God could take human physical form to be blasphemous), even if the facts were to the contrary. Ca-pesh?

Tod Hunter writes:

No, I don't. I find it hard to wrap my mind around the contention that a character who didn't exist was misquoted. No matter. I don't turn to Mike Ramone for spiritual or historical guidance.

Tod -- Somewhat amused that I quoted Shalom Aleichem when I discussed Mike's contentions, and he responded by asking me "Capisce?" We instinctively went to each other's cultures to make our point.

Mike Ramone responds:

OK, remove the word “alleged’ from my original post and that should clear up the confusion. Bottom line? A very strong case can be made that the NT is hardly an accurate record of what Jesus said. See, among other works, The Five Gospels: What Did Jesus Really Say? The Search for the AUTHENTIC Words of Jesus, by Robert W. Funk.

And another, separate case, perhaps not as strong, can be made that an “historical” Jesus never existed. See, among other works, The Jesus Puzzle: Did Christianity Begin with a Mythical Christ? Challenging the Existence of an Historical Jesus, by Earl Doherty.

Distinguished Bible scholar and pornographer James DiGiorgio (who got into Erotica LA with a JCsGirls.com badge) writes: "It was hundreds of years later that the Roman emperor decided Christianity needed a Bible of it's own. The bishop of alexandria, Athanasius, who attended the first council of Nicaea where, three-hundred years after the Jesus, they decided whether Jesus was man, God, or a bit of both, was appointed the task of deciding which books would be included in the New Testament. His choices remain in place today."

Dominus DiGiorgio sez: "You might also ponder this question -- Did the creation of the NT represent the first, official, anti-Semitic act of organized Christianity? After all, before the NT all they had was what some refer to as "the Jew bible" or OT (Old Testament.) Early Christian leaders weren't about to work hard at conquering the world for Jesus without a book of their own! This was a great way to distance themselves from Judaism."

JR: "If people are filling that God-sized hole with porn, they don't need to do that anymore."

Luke: "How do you keep yourself from getting corrupted?"

JR: "It's not like I look up and see some porn and get nutty. I see through it, just like many of the people in the industry. I see the brokeness that surrounds porn and it just makes me want to be here even more."

Luke: "How much anger and hatred have you received?"

JR: "Yesterday we had three guys from the industry that had a bug to come over here and let us have it."

Luke: "Who were they?"

JR: "I don't know their names. One guy was all dressed in leather. You can't miss him. Bald head. Dark glasses. This was his quote. 'I know the Bible inside and out and you guys are hypocrites.'"

Luke: "Was he tall?"

JR: "Yes."

Luke: "Skinny?"

JR: "Yes."

Luke: "He's the Editor of AVN -- Mike Ramone."

Mike Ramone responds: "Luke, as lawyers sometimes say in criminal trials, you’re assuming a fact not in evidence: Don’t know who JR is talking about, but it wasn’t me friend. I had no contact whatsoever with the XXXChurch guys at Erotica (and I wasn’t dressed all in black either). But I’m happy to know that another tall and skinny guy sees them for the fundamentalist fools that they are."

Luke: "About 45?"

JR: "Yes. Totally dressed in black."

Luke: "Did he stay around?"

JR: "No. He came. He let us have it. Two or three minutes tops. He didn't stay around."

Luke: "Did he have any interest in what you have to say?"

JR: "No."

Luke: "Have you ever felt physically threatened?"

JR: "Not at a porn show. Once at a church."

Luke: "What do you see out here?"

JR: "When guys walk down the aisles and they don't even want to make eye contact with you. They don't even want to shake your hand or embrace you in any way. There's a lot of loneliness and brokeness. People in the industry see that too."

Luke: "What about the porn girls?"

JR: "We have a different relationship with them. When they come to our booth, we do hair and make-up for them. The girls shed a little bit. They're able to talk to us. Our girls go into the bathroom, their break room, and really talk to them. They hear, 'Yeah, I don't want to do this forever. I'm looking for ways to get out. I wish I could stop this.'

"The dudes, particularly the guys who come here as consumers, they're just looking for another piece of meat."

A lot of girls got groped at the show, including the gay executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, Michelle Freridge.

"This show attracts the lowest of the low," one porner tells me. "Guys expect that for their $30 entrance, they can grope a girl."

Luke to JR: "You have to feel more for the disabled."

Escorts for the Disabled is the booth next to the XXXChurch along with a gay porn booth.

JR: "Last year at this show, a guy came up to me and said, 'If you want to help me, you'll give me money so I can buy a hooker. Otherwise, no one touches me.' I had nothing to tell that guy. I got on my knees that Monday and studied the Word. I don't have the answer. I still don't think that porn is the answer."

I hang out at the JCsGirls booth.

Jamie Ralph Gardner writes me:

When I was at the Nectar Entertainment/1 Strike booth, I overheard 2 guys (who worked at the booth) talking about a woman. One of the guys claimed that he didn't have sex her but he had sex with another woman. They were talking about a party where sex went on. One of the 2 guys started talking to me and asked me what kind of movies that I like. I said I like group sex scenes. His response was that I would have seen plenty of that at the party last night. I said that there are people who say that porn parties are not big orgies like people think but your experience shows there are wild parties out there. He agreed that you can go parties where sex happens if you know the right people. I don't know where the party took place.

Dan G writes on XPT:

1) Isn't it cool how the XXX Church can come to porn conventions and attempt to lure girls away from porn and into Christianity, yet still be happily accepted and tolerated by the porners? There's no way those hypocrites in the Church would allow a porn company to go recruiting at some Christian convention and attempt to lure girls away from Christianity and into porn, is there? I feel a 'Pornographers: More Tolerant Than Christians' bumper sticker coming on!

2) The true measure of a woman's beauty is if she can still look good in a photo taken by L-ke F-rd. Aria Giovanni, Sunny Leone and Neveah can all pull it off, other girls don't fare quite as well. If I was Vivid, Wicked, or Digital Playground, and I was looking for a new contract girl, I'd make sure they passed the Lukeisback photographic acid test first...having seen some of his more recent work, let me just say OUCH!

Geoff writes on FunwithPSEs:

Hi, Just got back from LA today from Erotica LA. It was fun, sort of a mini- AVN's. Here's are some of the details: Cool people that I saw again- Layla Jade (OMG, next time she wears a shirt like that, I'm gonna pass out) Tiana Lynn (my bud), shame she doesn't escort, but I love her dearly. Kinzie Kenner (candystrippers never looked like her and her outfit) Randi Wright (my bud) - BTW, she no longer escorts folks, she told me that herself and is sending out cease and desistr orders to any agency/person saying she does Avy Scott (sweetest girl adn killer legs and natural boobs), got a surprise kiss from her on teh cheek in the picture, Chrsitina Noir - folks, I gotta do her soon, even if hubby is present as she stated to me, the outfit she wore, killer, Rebecca Love - ok nuff said about her except she the coolest girl to chill with, Christy Canyon - she looks better every time I see her Flower Tucci - I wish I could've spanked her ass some this time, but she was sore from a recent previous one. Carmen Luvana - Chica has it going on Nikki Benz - I gotta hear her famous screaming "o" one day in person, what a sweet girl and is more happy now that she's away from Tera Patrick (or as she called it to me, "Terriblevision") Taylor Wayne - always cool to chat with, love her choice of attires at these conventions. Jenna Haze - Sweetest thing, got a good look at her boobs due to her low shirt, no work done there. Keisha - met her for the 1st time, what a knockout. Disappointments: Stillwell Hotel - the hotel I stayed in, don't no one ever go and stay there, it's was terrible. Tylene Buck - first, to Billy, she says hi. She was downright rude to a few fans. A fan asked to take a picture w/her, the she proceeded to talk to cousin Stevie for 10-20 minutes while drinking her ice tea slowly,ignoring her line of fans, inckluding the one who asked to take a picture w/her. I agve her my picture of the 2 of us from AVN's and walked away even thoguh we talked about wrestling. She left the "to" part of the poster blank. Tera Patrick - see the section about Nikki Benz. Missed - Jassie, Alana Lipps, Utah Sweet, Taryn Thomas, Justine Jolie. BTW, the lines to see Jenna Jameson were about 2 miles long, so I didn't bother.

He was spotted Saturday night. I thought Kid Vegas was in prison, but no, he's been out for a month or two.

Northwest Florida Porn Arrests

From PensacolaNewsJournal.com:

Two principals in a multimillion-dollar Internet pornography business [CashTitan.com, cumonherface.com] have been arrested, culminating an investigation into an operation involving hundreds of films featuring up to 100 local men and women, authorities announced Saturday.

Escambia County Sheriff Ron McNesby and State Attorney Bill Eddins said the men are believed to be at the heart of the operation that revolved around a Web site with as many as 5,000 registered subscribers who, for $30 a month, can view pornographic films featuring group sex.

...Site owner Clinton Raymond McCowen, 45, also known as Ray Guhn, who resides in the 1900 block of Rue La Fontaine in Navarre. Kevin Patrick Stevens, 36, of the 9700 block of Fowler Avenue in Pensacola, who was a producer and Web site technician.

McCowen and his associates, who used the name Global Technologies Inc. and did business as Ray Guhn Productions, generated more than $1 million a year in sales to Internet customers, according to an affidavit. They had been operating for about five years, the affidavit says.

Martin Del Toro

Martin writes on his MySpace:

While dating Monika Miklos, for the past several years, I befriended an American Porn actress named Haley Paige.

The reasons for this sudden romance was because my student visa expired and I was suddenly an illegal alien in America. (View my "PICS" to see our authentic marriage certificate).

After dating for a few months, Haley and I married on October 15th, 2005 in a ceremony attended by my cousin Tibor. The marriage was set up in 4 hours prior to the ceremony. I moved into Haley's apartment in North Hollywood the following day. On Thanksgiving Eve, approximately 5 weeks after our marriage, I left Haley to move in with my girlfriend Monika Miklos with whom I was living with the entire time of the fraudulent relationship between Haley and I citing her addiction to painkillers as the reason. Neither Monika nor Haley knew of each other at the time. It didn't matter that I knew she was on painkillers and even providing her with painkillers during the duration of the relationship.

I informed my wife Haley I would return once she sobered up and that my drug addiction specialist informed me that drug users should always be alone in order to successfully conquer their addiction. I promised to return to the marriage on Christmas Day, 2005, while Haley was completely sober and to live together. It never happened. I called a week later citing a trip to Las Vegas with relatives during the Christmas holidays. During the marriage, I begged Haley not to let anyone know about the marriage. The reasoning behind this stemmed from my desire not to have anyone know, especially my girlfriend at the time. What I told Haley was this ... I want a huge Satanic wedding, complete with porn paparazzi to be videotaped and sold as a symbol of our love.

Unfortunately, I never returned to my wife who was battling addiction alone. I promised I was completely loyal to my wife Haley and never cheated on her to this point. I promised to move back in with my wife Haley a week before a scheduled Homeland Security interview which was conducted on February 14, 2006. Incidentally, it was Valentine's Day where I would tell every stranger about my glorious marriage. After the interview where I was the only one questioned by officials (under oath), I stopped calling again, praising Haley's miraculous recovery from addiction.

At this point, sometime in mid-April approximately 5 months after I left the marriage, Haley found the marriage to be a fraud. She was in denial about the fraudulent nature of the marriage until her friends started telling her how ridiculous this marriage truly was. Haley started to discover from friends who previously did not want to be involved that I was dating Monika Miklos and living with her during the marriage even though I claimed to live in a studio.

She talked to me one last time in mid-April where she asked me if the marriage was a fraud, simply for a conditional green card. Of course I denied it. As the love from her heart dissipated, she became much more rational and realized the only reason I married her, the only reason I promised her the world, the only reason for everything was my agenda to procure legal status in the United States.

I have not talked to Haley since mid-April when she moved out of her apartment. She refuses to talk to me after I threatened her against divorcing me. I even offered to pay for the duration of the marriage but Haley still refuesed any money from me. I even tried to tell her I love her and offered to move back in with me.

Alas, she'd rather erase the past all together from her mind. I'm sure she'd like to thank her friends and lawyers for supporting her throughout this entire ordeal and their continued support.

"A Hungarian media darling's jail term for ripping off her investor fans is upheld, and she cannot appeal."

DVD Sales Down 25%?

I email Ric Williams, owner of Black Widow Productions: "DVD sales down 25% this year compared to last? I noticed a swipe at you on Gene's site. Dunno what that was about... Your ex-partner?"

Ric replies:

Hey Luke, Sorry that I didn't respond sooner but I was in the Bahamas shark diving all last week!! Black Widow's sales are up about 5% so far this year. But, remember that we are a rather new company (just at 2 years), and have been on a growth track. I had honestly hoped that our sales would have been up more than this but the causes you are hearing from others are affecting our sales also. We had a big success with the Princess Comes of Age (over 8,000 pieces so far and it was the #1 downloaded movie on Hotmovies and AEBN) and our Pegging movie is also doing very well.

Regarding my ex-partner, you noticed that his comments were off the record...he knows that I would sue his ass off if he spread his lies publicly. The fact is that I terminated his position with Black Widow Productions, LLC and Lisa and I bought out his ownership interest to get him totally out of the organization. Before he became an employee of Black Widow he was an employee of our other partner in Spain and he was terminated from his employment there also...sort of sets a trend doesn't it!

Why do the "Extreme" pornographers expect me to help pay their lawyers bill?

Paul Markham writes on GFY:

It's not like I asked them to produce extreme porn. No they decided to produce it to make more money, money they took away from me. Because they did not bring new porn buyers to the business, they converted the existing ones by going to the extreme. Were they interested in my rights or their profit margin? Are they protecting my rights by pushing the envelope? Not in my opinion, all they do is give the anti porn lobby an easier, take note I said EASIER, hammer to hit us all with. Take away the extreme and life would be a little quieter. Don't see anyone prosecuted for straight normal porn. So they create very little extra business, they take business away form the rest of us and they make us an easier target to attack. All done to line their own pockets. Now they have the added expense of keeping themselves out of jail and they want the rest of us to contribute. I understand the lawyers asking us to give up some money to fight, the longer the case is in court the more money they make.

Matt of Mattsmodels.com writes:

Im in agreement with attorney Greg Piccionelli. The Govt is not interested in stopping "obscenity" (whatever that is?) They've got it in for the porn industry and any anything else that offends the Religious right. So whether your soft nudity or hardcore porn - it doesnt matter.....they dont like any of it. Also the govt is not just going after porn, they're trying to censor all media. Thats why I think Howard Stern is a hero for leaving radio and going to Sirius. Howard Stern doesnt need the money....he did it much on principle so he could say whatever the fuck he wanted to say on his show. In fact he was taking a RISK by going to satellite, because if he fails on Sirius, or Satellite fails, in the next few years Howard could lose his audience and hurt his long term viability. So I think anyone who believes in Free Speech needs to stand up in principle......buying Sirius Radio is just one way to do that.

Business Of Porn

David Clark writes: "Um, look at Itunes, whomever you are, where Disney, ABC, MTV, CBS, Fox, etc are all gung-ho into Ipod downloads of TV series, comedy stand-up, music videos, etc. "Legit media" is all over it."

Martin writes:

Um, maybe David Clark, whoever he thinks he is, should do a quick Google search next time. That way, he might realize that this was the story of the week regarding "iTunes", "iPod" and film studios.

I never once mentioned TV because it's a totally different business model than film. TV survives off of ad revenues, so any money made *after* the initial airing is ancillary, (meaning secondary). Film's are budgeted with all revenue streams cost projected, (theatrical, DVD rental/direct sale, cable, PPV). In that way, adult is similar to film from a distribution viewpoint. Pay cable channels and the sales of DVD TV boxsets are the only real model change-ups over the past decades for networks. TV content placed on iPod is not about trying to recoup costs but 1) provide a legit outlet instead of subsidize torrent use and 2) market a show to a wider audience. The Office is the perfect example of a show that's ratings have gone up because of its iPod availability. NBC, while not making a killing on the sales, are now able to charge higher ad premiums because of audience growth. So the common ground between TV and Adult that makes iPod an option, is disposable content.

PS I'm the opposite of your earlier friend. I read your site for the business talk. When I do stop and read about these girls, I see it as perplexing or sad.

I arrive at 9:20 p.m. and chat with the mainstream publicist handling her first porn event -- tall, buxom, blonde Mallory.

I chat with Rayvness, who says she missed 55 days of her senior year in highschool, but graduated anyway. She took four years off porn (from 1999-2003) to study at the UCLA extension school.

She entered porn at age 18 in 1990. She does about five scenes a month.

The Pets arrive.

I yell at Cassia, "I haven't written anything bad about you lately."

"Not lately," she laughs.

Holly Randall and her wife Aria Giovanni arrive. They talk like a married couple. Everything is "we went here and we did this."

They haven't eaten because they were told there would be free food and drink. It turns out there are no freebies.

Holly's posing nude on Saturday. I'm so proud of her.

"I'm not looking forward to tomorrow -- my heart is really not in it," writes Holly on Friday.

Maybe your heart is trying to tell you something?

"It's not the nudity, it's modeling in general. I hate it."

Don't think of yourself. Think of your fans and your family and how by posing nude you are building a better tomorrow.

"If you have any affection left for me," I say to her Thursday night as I stand beside the red carpet snapping inane photos, "please buy me a bottle of water and bring it outside."

She does.

I walk inside the club for ten minutes and then leave at 10:10 p.m.
