  • Looking for an Id from 70's John Holmes short 6/26/2014 5:50:15 AM
    The girl in the loop used different names, but is usually called Maggie Williams--actually a very famous scene, circa 1973. A truncated version of the loop appeared in the feature Fulfillment, minus the peeing bit. Maggie did at least one other scene with Holmes, and at least one other urination loop as well.
  • Is "The System" Broken? 11/20/2006 4:46:17 AM
    Well, I think Tony might have put his finger on part of the problem in an earlier post in this thread. We tend to spend a lot of time talking about production and distribution, without focusing on another element of the problem, which is exhibition--that is, the retail display and availability of porn for the consumer. In many parts of the US at least, its hard to get the porn you want, or might enjoy at least, without being something of an expert. And having an online rental or sale outlet with your credit card on file. Or going into an adult store with a disguise to anonymously scope the shelves. This in turn creates a lot of difficulty in figuring out just how "mainstream" porn really is, because there are so many obstacles ...
  • It was okay then, but now now??????? 8/18/2006 8:12:14 PM
    You have to remember two things about this issue: first, in the US, community standards determine whether any act is legal or not legal in a given community; and second, there was no video business when 1970's films showing the act of fisting first appeared. During 1977-78, fisting had become a bit of a craze in porno. Little Orphan Dusty was a popular entry in the genre--you may notice that there are 3 fisting scenes in the film. Candy Stripers came out shortly afterwards, and Bob Chinn began to shoot fisting in several of his other films, as well. But these films were being shown mostly in downtown theaters in LA, SF, and NYC--places where it was felt community standards would allow for such things. However, in March of 1979 the LAPD r...
  • The "Woman with No Limits" 8/11/2006 9:23:45 AM
    You're too young, and I'm too well hung. Another example of the confusion of mixing fantasy with reality. Ok, enough of that. TonyC wrote: As I've said before, pornography is (and not withstand the dancing phosphores thing) about as real a depiction of anything as it gets. There does seem to be, on the part of many viewers and producers, some confusion about what is being depicted. Edited by - tonyc on 8/10/2006 4:48:18 PM I think we disagree on this one, TC, although I'd like you to elaborate on what depictions you think viewers and producers are confused about. To me, saying that porn is a visual record of sex is like saying that L'Avventura is a visual record of a few actors wandering around Sicily (which, ironically, some critics ...
  • How To Get Some Pussy 8/10/2006 4:40:31 AM
    Funny, these women with no standards sound exactly like the "women with no limits" in porn. With all these limitless and standardless women around, its no wonder guys stay home and whack it.
  • The "Woman with No Limits" 8/10/2006 1:39:33 AM
    Oh my--I've been away a couple of days and this thread has gone crazy--see what you've done, Bob. Since a few of you have quoted me, here are some more thoughts, beginning with BDGal. BustdownGal wrote: I disagree with your generalization that porn is about women not having the final say on sexual consent. I can't bring myself to generalize men as violators, forcing through without the consent of partners. I would rephrase your words to say that in porn, the conceit is not that the male is forcing, but that the female is willing. The Porn Star consents to all, as opposed to having all "forced" upon her. There are videos that play with nonconsensual sex, but 1) it's play and 2) it's not the general thrust of the industry. This thr...
  • The "Woman with No Limits" 8/8/2006 8:03:06 AM
    Bob wrote: The male porn viewer's ability to watch droves of women, of all shapes and sizes, having sex in a wide variety of ways provides a seeming opportunity to chip away at men's age-old question, "What are women really like, sexually speaking?" or, more specifically (for me, anyway), "Are there really women whose authentic sexuality is more open and more highly charged than that of the women who I've been with in my life?" If a man has heard a lot of "No's" from his female partners (or hasn't had any female partners, in which case an implicit and all-encompassing "No" looms large), the allure of the fantasy woman who never says "No" (or who says "No" to much less) can be st...
  • Speaking out against Derek at L.A. Direct! 7/24/2006 8:59:53 PM
    Brett, your post is a little confusing; to clarify matters, and stop this tread from quickly turning into a pointless flame (which it probably will anyway), perhaps you could clarify the reasons why you believe Hay's blacklisting tactic violates the business practices (or "labor laws," which most of us don't think exist) within the industry, and why you think they represent him maximizing his profit--sure, it amounts to bullying tactics on his part, but in other businesses (since you make such analogies), a company that makes such outlandish demands quickly isolates itself in the market, and buyers simply move on to alternative suppliers, rather then tolerate the bullshit. The only time this doesn't happen is when one company deve...
  • Why girls in porn almost never get eaten out? 7/23/2006 1:39:07 AM
    My usual rap on this topic is this: for a generation or so now--let's say post-Max Hardcore--the wall-to-wall/all-sex porn genres have been increasingly oblivious to depictions of female pleasure, including any act leading up to or resulting in female orgasm. So what we have now is a lot of young, passive, robotic "fuck dolls" who exist only to be receptacles for cocks and sperm (or as Max liked to call them, "cock-sockets"). Sexual fulfillment for the female in these videos is insignificant, and certainly never pursued. Any acts that show the female as anything but an obedient slave to the desires and fulfillment of the man or men in the scene fucks up this fantasy recipe. So they don't often occur, except in those ca...
  • request a Classic Movie 6/26/2006 4:36:56 AM
    Love Bites(1985)? Not German, however--very American. And only available from Blue One--because of a particular underaged star.
  • Porn Addiction 6/1/2006 10:08:17 PM
    I think that for many men, porn is a form of misplaced desire--in other words, rather than seeing sexual media as a particular and unique erotic experience, they just use it as a substitute for sexual interaction with another person. Which is fine. But when that substitute turns into a permanent condition--the only way of getting through your sexual life--this pattern of endlessly misplaced desire becomes a kind of self-imposed deprivation, leading to a life of isolation, depression, frustration, and intense loneliness. If this description fits you, Swiss (and your not just guilty about watching porn for social/religious reasons or because you feel you should be finding more constructive things to do with your time), then you might have a ...
  • A New Style!!! Unedited Porn 5/31/2006 9:19:47 PM
    I'm a little confused about what it is that people are claiming here they really want to see--there is no question that scenes in older titles may have been more heavily edited--usually for time--and good footage was lost, but I find most porn under-edited in the wall-to-wall category today. But we would be talking about action footage in any case. What exactly is it about a performer changing positions, or stopping because of a limp cock, that is worth saving for posterity? Unless, or course, you're arguing for a kind of "reality" porn, where the whole idea is to capture every miscue and mishap, every argument and negotiation, every contactual exchange, every moment where someone fails to perform or bursts into tears, every girl...
  • Kelly O'Dell 5/23/2006 3:37:42 AM
    I believe the scene is originally from one of Kelly's Legend features, Skin to Skin , made when she was under contract with them. Tom Byron is the guy in the scene with her. Whether it has appeared in a comp or not (which is the only way I think you will get it now), I have no idea. Edited by - lazerus on 5/23/2006 3:38:31 AM
  • Place your bets....what's next in porn? 5/12/2006 12:19:06 AM
    Hmmmmmm . . . So imagine a CMI simulated blood/piss/cum soaked rape orgy with fist and foot insertions, extreme rope bondage and suspension, ritualistic S/M torture, all topped off when Mr. Ed is brought in to impale the victim(s). Now--stop jacking off for a minute please--my question is this: if this is a CMI simulation, would this still qualify as obscene under the law? In other words, is it the representation of the acts, or their biological embodiment, that might land you in court? Personally, I believe it's the former, but I don't know of any cases tried on the basis of CMI "obscenity." Anyone have any ideas about this?
  • Stars with great bodies and long careers 4/29/2006 5:24:14 AM
    From the classic era, there are a number of examples of ten year careers--Annette Haven, Vanessa Del Rio, Sharon Mitchell, Marilyn Chambers, Georgina Spelvin, Cyndee Summers, Serena . . . but only Annette could be described as having a "perfect" body. Porn today is a different beast. One woman who does fit this criteria, however, is Rayveness. And Jenna Jameson, of course. And Kylie Ireland . . . but the latter two were enhanced, bust-wise (Jenna shortly after she began, and for absolutely no good reason, either).
  • Need Help IDing 2 Prono's I saw in my youth. 4/29/2006 4:27:05 AM
    The second porno might be from the Amorous Amateurs series, made by Pearl Necklace, a Florida based pro-am company, in 1993-94. If I am right, the girl is Raquel Linneau--only problem is, the scenes you are describing are from two separate videos--the volleyball threesome (the only one of her brief career) is in volume 26; the bumper car bit is in volume 25. Her boyfriend Jeph is in both scenes. She also shot a couple of LBO scenes for Max Hardcore, although only with Jeph. She was the covergirl of volume 34 of Amorous Amateurs, if you want to check out a picture of her (go to jadedvideo.com, use the search function, and type in the title of the series). To my knowledge, none of her work is currently available. You can also check out her c...
  • Francesca Le's Opinion on Modern Porn Stars 4/28/2006 2:27:21 AM
    Another thing to remember is that gonzo porn, beginning with the rise of Ed Powers, has created a completely different kind of focus. The real "stars" of these videos are never the females, but the guys shooting and/or starring in them, whether Powers or Rocco or Max or (today) Ferrera or North or any other POV director. These videos are really built around the male director/stud, and around the routine the he is putting the girls through. The female parts start to all blur together after a while. Brandon's recent 50 to 1 series is a perfect example of this taken to an extreme level. In the old days, the girls were the stars and the guys were the random meat; now the girls blend together into one big ornamental orifice while the m...
  • Money and Porn 3/22/2006 8:25:47 AM
    While you're calculating what performers make in the business, don't forget to take out agent commissions, travel to and from LA (many are not local), rent (in the highest priced area in the country), transportation, STD testing, and--oh yes--clothes. In one recent video, the director told a new girl to take her first couple of checks and buy some clothes to wear on shoots. "Bring your own lube" should be the motto for a lot of these productions. Also consider that in 1986, the average girl made 750-1000 for straight boy/girl--no anal, no facials, no DP, etc. Now adjust for inflation, and consider the current gonzo rates twenty years later. Today, talent is paid less to do more while having a career half as long. There is a l...
