Annie Sprinkle, though she remained in San Francisco, sent a contingent of friends to the party.

Tim Secor aka the Shark is a quadraplegic and couldn't come.

Jeff Goodman says:

I got her to pay back about 80% of the money she took from me, and I agreed never to contact her again. She "dated" Paul Borghese, Jean Claude Van Dam, about 1000 other guys in NYC. I saw her walking in the street about a year ago. She had aged, her hair was dyed black, and she was down to about 80lbs due to insane vegan diet. I heard she was a dominatrix in Europe for an agency. She looked like hell. At one point she was probably one of the best looking women in New York. She did know what she was doing in bed.

Jeff Goodman Interview

Jeff Goodman aka Sammy Grubman (about 50yo) calls me Sunday. He pioneered phone sex for Carl Ruderman in 1983 and edited many sex magazines.

Luke: "Josh portrays you as the strike-out king."

Jeff: "That was true. We were hanging out at Studio 54 and I was organizing all these photo shoots. We would sit there and look at the merchandise. Once in a while, we'd try to talk to these girls. We gave off this aura of futility.

"While Josh's book is amusing and I like it quite a bit, he makes more of a cartoon portrait of me. In reality, I was only striking out for a miserable year and a half long period. My fortunes considerably improved post "Studio 54"."

Luke: "Are you still in mail-order?"

Jeff: "I am successfully copywriting and other things. I have nothing to do with porn. I have more lucrative lines of work.

"Have you looked at the Badmags.com website? This guy [Tom Brinkmann] has an encyclopedic knowledge of the cult magazine industry from the '70s. He's an avid collector of pulp and porn. He knows more things about me and Myron Fass [sex mag publisher pictured with a young Al Goldstein] than I remember.

"I've been helping him copy-edit his book.

"I told him it was too bad he never walked up to Countrywide because I would've hired him on the spot.

"I invented 900-numbers. Carl Ruderman became wealthy. All those guys who got in trouble, such as Bruce Chew, piggybacked on my idea. I didn't get a dime from it. I was ripped out of everything by Ruderman.

"I feel bad about [deposed porn mag publishers] Bob Guccione and Al Goldstein. I would almost start a fund to help them.

"A few months ago, I was walking through the subway. I go to the fleamarket on weekends. This horrible cracked-up bum comes to me. He was dressed in Salvation Army rags. He was smelly. He said, 'Hello, Jeff.' I was scared. I couldn't put it together.

"It dawned on me later that it was Goldstein."

Luke: "Panhandling?"

Jeff: "Worse. He looked unbelievable. You would never recognize him as anything resembling a human being. I didn't answer him. I just walked away quickly. After I walked away, it dawned on my clearly who it was."

Luke: "Did you meet your wife through your thing where you introduced Japanese women to New York?"

Jeff: "Yes. I met her online.

"When I was doing this full-force, like three or four years ago, there weren't that many girls online. Now there are hundreds of thousands. You can log on to ICQ and search for random girls online. Japan or Thailand or wherever you want to go. They talk. You exchange pictures and they want to come here. I had so many girls coming and going it was unbelievable. I'd drop one off for airport departures and then I'd had to race upstairs because another one was coming in from Japan in 20 minutes. I had 300 girls coming and going from Japan."

Luke: "How old is your wife?"

Jeff: "Twenty seven. A Japanese girl. A very nice girl. Married for about three years. She doesn't have any idea about any of this stuff. As far as she knows, and it is true, I am a very nice loving husband who would never do anything strange.

Luke: "How did you come to marry this one?"

Jeff: "She was just a very nice girl. She was crazy about me. I don't even understand why. I figured I'm not 25 anymore. I can't go on with this endlessly. I'll be one of these 70yo guys with a dribble cup. You realize that the Shark was Timmy Secora. He's a paraplegic who runs Star Models. He's been doing this for 40 years. He was on the college hockey team with John Kerry."

Luke: "Why did the Stud, Mike Florio, wind up in a mental hospital?"

Jeff chuckles: "Too many girls."

"You've got to look at Josh's book as a cartoon caricature of these people. But it is all based on fact. He would turn everybody into arch-enemies and super-heroes.

"Are you serious about this religion stuff?"

Luke: "Yeah."

Jeff: "So you really believe in faith in God and everything and it is immoral to be involved in pornography?"

Luke: "Yeah."

Jeff: "You really feel it is a terrible immoral thing?"

Luke: "Yeah."

Jeff: "Do you view people like me as evildoers?"

Luke: "I wouldn't go that strong."

Jeff: "You feel that we're immoral and not acting spiritually?"

Luke: "I don't think that working in porn is an honorable profession. I think that sex should be saved for marriage and commercializing it is destructive."

Jeff: "I don't know why. Hasids are some of the biggest johns in New York."

Luke: "I know that people have weaknesses. I have weaknesses."

Jeff: "I don't view myself as an immoral person. I don't view myself as cruel or dangerous. I would say that I am, and a lot of people I know who have worked in pornography, are highly moral people. I think they have their own internal moral compass. I would not terribly take advantage of somebody. I would not kill anybody. I have very traditional Judeo-ethics.

"It's hard to understand what I'm saying but I don't view... You view things from more of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint.

"Kaballah is popular now. I think if you took more of a kabbalistic view, you would find it is not an immoral thing. It's promoting life essence. I'm not sure monogamy is a Biblical concept."

Luke: "They had multiple wives then. You've worked in the sex industry. You've seen it destroy a lot of lives."

Jeff: "I don't think it destroyed a lot of people, not anybody who wasn't on a self-destructive bent. You could say that 50% of people who sell used cars destroy themselves. That people are making a living selling sex is not a destructive thing. That's a western concept, that sex is a destructive dirty thing.

"I think Josh [Alan Friedman] went astray. He was a major talent. With circumstances a tiny bit different, he would've been one of these wealthy, enormously successful, writers."

Luke: "Where did he go astray?"

Jeff: "He moved to Texas and got involved with this music, which is not bad, but he laid off writing for years. I think he could've ended up a successful screenwriter.

"I almost had the deal with Guccione and Penthouse [in 1996]. I was going to revamp their 900-number operation and Internet operation. I would've made them a fortune. I had this whole crazy conversation with his wife who was sick [and eventually died of cancer]. She said, 'Look at me now. I'm dying. I'll be dead in a few months.' There were so many nuts in that Penthouse and they were so threatened and became so crazy that an outsider came in..."

Luke: "How many women have you slept with in your life?"

Jeff: "Five hundred."

Luke: "How do you think that has affected you?"

Jeff: "I wish I was doing it more. I had a wonderful time. The vast majority of them were nice. I'm friendly with quite a number of them. I love women. I wish I was 20 years old again so I could sleep with 500 more. I wish I had at age 20 the money I have now and the knowledge I have now and the taste for asian women I have now. I'm unhappy to be aging and not having the same sexual stamina I used to have."

He writes 2/3/05:

When I was doing "OUI" magazine, we had a lingerie magazine we wanted promoted and got to appear on the Howard Stern show when he was doing NBC in Rockefeller Center. We brought a couple of "OUI" models who agreed to show up in lingerie. Stern, and Gary Del'abbate, his assistant, went gah-gah over the girls.

"You mean they will REALLY take their clothes off in the studio???" The whole studio went crazy, people started peeking in, everyone from Stern to Gary wanted the girl's phone numbers and wanted to meet more. The girls stripped in the studio. So, in addition to inventing "900" numbers, I can take full credit for launching Stern on his talk show format where he featured porn models. After that, they went mad seeking out girls and his show evolved to what it is today. They never had this idea until I started it. That is me in the photo. The other guy in the Stern photo is artist Kurt Hoppe.

Me, as I really looked in the 1970's.

Another of Tracy Quan in the 1970's.

Lottie Rumble aka Madelyne Knight in my 12th Street apartment about 1996.

Here is my ex-wife on the right in red bikini (whom Stephanie aka Tracy Quan tried to turn out and induced her to wildly run up my credit card bills). In the middle is Playboy centerfold Pia Reyes, whom I discovered standing in line rejected for a model agency and I invited her to a shoot. I forgot who the girl on the left is, another model from that Florida shoot.

Another shot of Isabelle on a vacation with me in Mexico.. When Isabelle was "working" (unbeknownst to me at the time I was engaged to her), she frequently went on the bizarrest threesome dates with another blonde ex-Playboy Lingerie model. That model is now married to an extremely wealthy and famous television comedian and movie actor. I will decline to name them.

Me And Miki, who was quite beautiful and a soap opera semi-celb starlet in Japan. This was a month or so after I had plastic surgery and my face was still somewhat distorted. I am about 47 or 48 here.

Here is a photo I took of the WTC attack as I retreated to get more film for my camera.

When the first Tower started to collapse I was foolishly too close, just near the base, and almost got myself killed.

The second photo is smoke and ash from the collapse on downtown Fulton Street, about 9 blocks away. This was during broad daylight. My apartment was located much closer than this shot. The stuff all over was ash which was covering everything like Vesuvius did in Pompeii.

Another attactive Japanese girl. Me in Gucccione's pool, circa 1996.

How To Find An Asian Wife

Jeff Goodman, who's married to a Japanese girl 20 years younger than him, writes:

I am really the world's expert on finding an Asian wife. I agree with your friend. I have taught dozens of people (and thousands online) to get an Asian wife and it was the best thing that ever happened to them.

I agree with your friend that Asian women and Jewish men are the best match psychologically. MY wife advises her friends to find Jewish men, ands that is the prevailing sentiment amongst many Japanese, Chinese and other Asian women.

Jewish men are for the most part intelligent, family-oriented, kind-hearted, sexually competent, and their minds think along the same channels as Asian women. Asian women instinctively feel that making their husband happy is a natural requirement.

I'm also physically attracted to Asians far more than Western women. If you want to meet an Asian woman I can teach you how to do it very easily.
