I stop by Rob Spallone’s set at 9:40 a.m. I say hi to Gene Ross, check out the black talent (Tony Eveready and Aziza going at it) and depart for the Penthouse set.
I can’t get in there, so I drive to Nick Manning’s house in Simi Valley.
Nick has a stack of Gideon Bibles on his bookshelf. I guess that every time he or a friend go to a hotel, they take a Bible.
“It’s not stealing,” says Nick. “They want you to take them.”
Nick got all the furniture in the house in exchange for repeated sex with one woman.
Julia Ann, not wearing make-up, does the make-up for the movie.
She discusses her turn to the hardcore with David Lord.
David asks me if I ever bring civilians I’m dating to a set so that they see it is no big deal. I say no.
Julia Ann: “I asked a gentleman I was dating who was extremely not involved in this industry. I asked him if he wanted to come to a Playgirl set I was doing make-up on. It’s an easy-going set. It was Gia Paloma and Jean Valjean. They never even got to the sex scene. It was the conversation we were having. It was kinda loose. And that all of a sudden Gia whips off her clothes and bends over to grab something off the floor and he doesn’t know where to look. He’s not sure what to do with himself. Then they’re talking about when so-and-so f—ed somebody and AIM this… He got a headache and left…”
David Lord, in porn since 1988, discusses his dating life. “I hate going through the motions and getting the same results… It gets monotonous having the same arguments… I’ve decided to not have relationships and just work.”
Luke: “How many porn stars have you had relationships with?”
David: “I can’t even give you a number it’s been so many. When I was in bands, I was a man-whore. …When you bring that into a relationship, nine times out of ten, your past will f— it up.”
Luke: “What kind of things keep getting said?”
David: “‘I know you’re f—ing them.’ They get insecure about sex with me because they think I’m [well-versed]. I’ll give them the strongest seven minutes of their lives.”
Luke: “What are the advantages and disadvantages of dating someone within the industry?”
David: “Disadvantages? They’re getting other cock.”
Luke: “But it’s just work.”
David: “That’s bulls—.
“That same girl, because I f—ed another girl on set, will get upset.”
Luke: “That’s crazy.”
David: “Somehow, because they get paid for it, that makes it OK. In my book, you can be an ex-porn star or an ex-hooker, but I can’t worry about how much cock you’ve had that day or that you can’t —- because you have a scene tomorrow.”
Luke: “How often do you have sex on set?”
David: “Never. Back in the day, a few times.”
David, Julia Ann discuss dating.
David: “How do the Jews celebrate killing Christ?”
Luke: “We go out and eat Chinese food Christmas Eve.”
Nick Manning pokes fun at somebody who said he was unable to call up women when he wanted sex.
“I can do that,” says Nick. “I only had to devote my whole life to getting laid.”
Dean Sussman says about Nick: “He looks good but he’s a wreck inside.”
I find the Penthouse set.
I talk to Kelly Holland, who’s the head of production for Penthouse. The company has been in heavy production for six months (four high-end movies a month as well as one-day-wonders). Audio Audio Audio
Before the XRCO show, Jack Lawrence says he’s coming up on his 400th scene and 1400th lover.
Mike Moz announces to the crowd of photographers that Adultcon organizer Renaud West was not allowed in to the XRCO show because various girls complained he was inappropriate. “If anyone sees him inside, please let us know.”
