  • Rectal injuries in the business? 4/6/2008 5:49:25 PM
    pornlaw wrote: Not true. There was a recent decision involving a HIV+ performer. The Work Comp Board determined that the performer was an employee and was 100% permanently disabled. The award was made against California's Uninsured Employer's Fund and will be paid by a combination of California tax payers and businesses. .... The money is there, it just belongs to the tax payers. That's really interesting. It sounds great for the girls and the lawyers. I would imagine though that if these kinds of suits get popular and successful enough that political pressure to regulate the industry will very rapidly build. It's one thing to tolerate your state being the porn basket for the world. It's entirely another to end up in a situation where as a...
  • Rectal injuries in the business? 3/31/2008 2:35:36 AM
    It seems to me as a (non-practicing) lawyer that the big problem with pursuing porn lawsuits is that the producers don't have any money. Maybe Vivid has deep pockets, but I don't see any of the Gonzo houses where most of the hard anal is produced having money worth going after. Let's say you get someone who is found to be 100% disabled. Who is going to pay? I doubt these producers have insurance worth an damn. The studios seem to be broke. Maybe you can pierce the corporate veil, although that seems unlikely to me, and go after the owners. Even if you were to be successful doing that, how many owners have the kind of money worth pursuing? These types of claims seem impressive when you are discussing the damages, but I don't see them continu...
  • Traci Lords: illegal to view online or not? 1/31/2008 2:55:02 AM
    In the US, it is criminal to possess child porn. Unfortunately, that means despite what Henri Patel said earlier, no mens rea is necessary. It is true that most crimes require mens rea (evil thought basically - and Henri was correct when he said it means intent under the law), but there are small number of strict liability crimes where no mens rea is required. Possession of child porn is one of them. There was a case I read about where some guy always had his computer scanning for porn. The porn was automatically downloaded to his hard drive and he would periodically back up to some sort of discs. This guy was hit for child porn because his computer had downloaded some - probably hard to avoid if you have your computer grab every single na...
  • Big moments in porn? 1/31/2008 2:02:57 AM
    I think the internet deserves a little more love. In particular the rise of the feedback loop where now performers and directors hear from the fans and respond to their desires. With that in mind I offer: Alt.sex founded Alt.sex.movies founded Rec.arts.movies.erotica founded Each of these lead to the next. Rame is what eventually lead to the iafd. It is my belief that gonzo in particular and the ubiquity of shaven pussies and ass to mouth all have a lot to do with discussion on Rame influencing directors. I believe that Gonzo as a term directed towards porn started on Rame. I know for sure that the fascination with ass to mouth started there and ASM as a term started there. Shaved pussies was a drum that was pounded incessantly there, and...
  • Girls most notorious for performing while high 10/29/2007 3:33 AM
    I get the impression that Taylor "mother fucking" Rain spends as little time as possible not high. I seriously doubt it would be possible to shoot her straight. Much as it would be impossible to have a conversation with her straight. Or you know, walk across the street or go to the zoo with her straight. Or eat Thanksgiving dinner with her straight.

  • are there any hot porn singers? 10/29/2007 3:21:51 AM
    Madison from the late 80's and early 90's is or was in a band. They were successful enough to get gigs at SWSX. She was the lead singer. I believe it was some sort of "heavy" music, but never actually heard it. After porn she did get very heavily into piercing though, so she may not be to your tastes. She got a fairly horrifying neck piercing that involved something like a metal ring implanted just below where a man's adam's apple is. As long as I was aware of it, it never looked healed and was just gross. I was a big fan of hers when she was a performer, and I especially like her work alongside Jeanna Fine. For a movie that is both hot and endlessly amusing, check out "Party Doll A Go-Go." It is the only porn movie I a...
  • How well do adult DVDs sell? 9/27/2007 4:07:13 AM
    Gunzo wrote: A lot of people would never actually PAY for porn, so I don't think filesharing is a very big issue here. Most people seem to think it's simply weird to pay for porn when the internet was created for finding free porn. Well, that may be the attitude of many young people these days, but take away their internet, and they would be plenty willing to pay. The presence of a wide world of piracy and free porn of various types has certainly eroded the market for porn you actually have to pay for. The idea that there are a large number of men who would just inherently never pay for porn is ludicrous. It is solely the availability of free porn and easy to steal porn on the net that makes this attitude possible. In the absence of this o...
  • What's the big deal about creampies in porn? 9/14/2007 3:37:52 PM
    I think it is popular because although it is what we like to do at home, we did not get to see it porn. When I see a hot young thing I am more interested in cumming deep inside her than all over her face. The intimacy and giving yourself over that a previous poster mentioned is very important as well.
  • if flexebility is such a turn on, why no videos? 9/9/2007 6:39:57 AM
    I would have joined perfect flex in the past except for the masks. Looking at the girls faces is one of the best parts of porn for me, and I can't get past the masks. Elvira is amazing though, and I am glad you showed me a site where I can see her face.
  • Whats so great about 18 year olds ? 9/9/2007 6:29:43 AM
    Miss DeRay wrote: The teen vids often have girls depicted as waaaaaaaaaaay younger than they are. They make references to daddy not knowing what they are up to, and parents not being home. These are not simply young girls with natural bodies. They have braces, pigtails, very immature looking attire, and they often mention many times during the scene that they are a teenager.... Well, yes, that sort of thing is very tedious. However, I think it is a mistake to attribute this attitude to the original poster who specifically called out the absence of big fake titties. I got the impression that he was irritated by anything that got between him and his bolt-ons. It seemed to me that the post would have been the same if rather than mentioning a ...
  • A question for the old RAME folks... 7/14/2007 2:24:15 AM
    I go all the way back to Alt.Sex I voted for the creation of Alt.Sex.Movies and Rec.Arts.Movies.Erotica back when that was taken seriously. I posted on both, but primarily lurked. This seems to be the place to give the shout out to Penet.Fi There are positives and negatives to both approaches. On the one hand, I always have the feeling here that I am one post away from being banned. That is a very uncomfortable feeling. On the other hand, stars are comfortable enough to post here, and that is a valuable addition to the community. On RAME (and ASM) there were the same very small number of people who would chase the stars away like clockwork. A few, like Brandy Alexandre, would stay because they liked to fight. Primarily they would post a ver...
  • Quadruple Penetrations 7/14/2007 1:35:33 AM
    Where exactly are the four guys supposed to fit? I have this image of four guys poking out around her ass like flower petals. Unfortunately that might require the amputation of their legs, but hey, it it's in the name of art right?

    JEWEL wrote: it's documented that cleopatra was one of the first women to do a bukkake as she would have a group of thirty or more men slaves blow on her face to give her eternal youth. Cleopatra was the subject of one of the most effective smear and whispering campaigns of all time. This was largely a result of Romans upset that the Emperor was marrying a non-Roman. Along with a lot of other things we have heard about Cleopatra, this was almost certainly a fabrication intended to ruin her reputation.
  • Getting undressed in porn 7/7/2007 10:22:44 PM
    junglew wrote: I like a little bit of tease and would even prefer a nice spring dress from Wal-Mart with panties. I agree with this. Anything that makes them look age appropriate. I like the contrast with "pretty young thing" and "nasty whore who fucks two guys at once." That is much hotter to me than "stripper doubling her take home pay."
  • Getting undressed in porn 7/7/2007 10:19:12 PM
    Savoy wrote: The worst thing about Voyuer as a costumer is that if you watch enough of his DVDs, you'll see the same outfits on different girls. Yuck. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be unique to Vince. In watching behind the scenes footage I have often seen the girls picking from among the various bits of stripper wear the producers have brought with them. I think what pushes it over the edge in Vince's case is that he says in Peaches scene that stripper wear turns him on. I think that he has those various tawdry outfits because he really likes them and likes to see multiple women in them. The process of undressing can be very sensual. However, I would rather see the strip edited out than watch some akward teen girl remove her clothe...

  • Getting undressed in porn 7/5/2007 2:49:55 PM
    I don't like girls to keep clothing on while fucking. In fact, the panties shoved to the side is one of my peeves. However, I do agree that it would be nice to see the girls start off dressed and then undress. As long as it does not take an eternity like it sometimes did in Randy West's Up'n'Cummers. I agree with Bigfoot that I would much rather see the girls wear their street clothes rather than the stripper wear they usually change into before the scene. One of the worst examples of this was in Breakin'em in 2" Where Peaches came in the most adorable hip young girl clothes and then was forced by Vince Voyeur to change into generic stripper clothes before the sex started. Street clothes allow us to fantasize about the girls we see eve...
  • Girls fucking strangers 7/5/2007 2:41:07 PM
    I think it is important to remember that in normal porn you are generally seeing women fucking strangers. All you need to do is watch girls new to porn and they generally have never met the men before. They occasionally play this up in normal gonzo movies. Brandon Iron has mentioned this at the beginning of scenes in AGSOI. I am pretty sure I have seen Mike John and Eric Everhard mention this as well. Often when you see the girl's reaction you can tell that they are telling the truth. I love seeing girls fuck strangers as well, but I am satisfied with what I see in normal porn because I remember what is really happening behind the scenes. All you have to do is stay with fairly new girls and avoid women that only fuck their boyfriends and hu...
  • Does she do anal.... 7/3/2007 4:16:44 PM
    One of the reasons I like to watch anal is that I both like to see a woman get fucked and to look at her pussy without a cock in the way. I also like the dirtiness factor. Dirty in the sense of slutty rather than unclean. I like that a woman is that willing to please the man she is fucking. Another reason I like anal is that I like to see DP's which seem to me to be one of the sluttiest things a woman can do. I like seeing women act super slutty so DPs naturally appeal to me. As to whether I have had anal sex, I have had my cock all the way in my wife's ass, but we have not really had successful thrusting sex yet. One reason is the hassle involved. It is a time intensive process for each session and also involves a series of encounters whe...
