• Do people get blacklisted in porn? 8/28/2013 2:24:27 PM
  
  It happens frequently and for petty reasons, yes. It's bullying, basically. Playground tactics. Otherwise the blacklisting is kind of implied, like in cases where someone alters test results (Mr. Marcus has not resumed his status as a mainstream adult performer in the industry). Scandal involving elaborate deception of any kind (particularly health) can turn the industry against someone to the point where no formal "blacklisting" efforts are even needed. The stuff I see on a regular basis is all very petty and personal - usually an agent's belief that a performer owes them money or has no right to end the contract, etc.

• Do people get blacklisted in porn? 8/28/2013 1:56:41 PM
  
  There is a lot of intimidation and strong-arming in porn, particularly when it comes to talent. This is true on both the straight and gay sides. I guess it must be a holdover from the time that porn was run by organized crime - some of those "value systems" and cultural traditions have endured. I have indeed been told by agents that if I hire a model with whom he or she is having a dispute that I will be banned from hiring any other models with the agency, or suffer any number of other repurcussions (I've even been threatened with lawsuits.) Coming from the mainstream business world I laughed at those kinds of threats at first, until I realized that the agents were serious and, furthermore, that studios took them seriously and tol...

  You guys! Thank you! I haven't stopped by this forum in a while and I just saw the most recent posts on this thread and I'm blown away! (I like that someone wants to see me hogtied!) Also I definitely agree that my leaving Sweetheart and handing the reins to the awesome Dana Vespoli has been a very positive thing for girl/girl fans. Dana has a strong, authentic vision of her own, and I knew if she took over Sweetheart that it would stay true to what the fans love, while also evolving into something new and exciting. You can credit her with introducing a lot of anal pleasuring and ass worshipping to girl/girl, as there'd been very little of it previously. (I'm even following her lead in that regard with the upcoming Girl Candy title "L...

• Stars who don't do drugs/anti-drug stars? 2/8/2013 1:37:47 PM
  
  The idea that weed isn't a drug or isn't harmful because it's a "plant" is ridiculous. Risin comes from plants, too - castor bean trees. Try ingesting that sometime! Marijuana is a drug, and it can have terrible effects on those using it when it's misused or abused, or if it just disagrees with the person's brain chemistry. Personally, if I'm subjected even to second-hand marijuana smoke it can induce a pretty severe panic attack and involuntary physical/psychological symptoms. It's also been proven to induce episodes of psychosis in patients who abuse it. (I've certainly seen evidence of that with the abusers I've had the displeasure of dealing with. Peace pipe. my ass!)

• Is romance evry going to be in porn? 1/31/2013 7:54:54 PM
  
  I basically started Sweet Sinner so I could show real sex between men and women, and in order to show that within the context of a story (I do all storyline-driven porn, starting with my g/g stuff at Girlfriends Films and then at Sweetheart Video) I created these "romantic" (i.e., "emotional") scenarios to lead into the sex. But I never thought of it as "romance porn" and I still really dislike that term. I don't know why. Maybe because with the immediate huge success of Sweet Sinner (which I think happened because I was shooting real sex between men and women, with real body language and positions; not because of "romantic" storylines) other studios immediately jumped on the "romance" bandw...

  The prescription drug situation is completely out of control. I know very few people who aren't abusing some prescription drug or another. We seem to just be a nation of complete addicts who can't govern ourselves worth a damn. It's pretty disconcerting.

  There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be pro-marijuana. I don't understand the bravado with which people in California and particularly in the entertainment industry, abuse and over-medicate with this drug. Marijuana has some valuable medicinal effects, but its a little revolting how everyone has decided it's perfectly reasonable lifestyle choice to get high pretty much constantly.

  Totally anti-drug. Makes me real popular! :-)

• Vids where foreplay is long and harder than usual 1/13/2013 4:06:42 AM
  
  I agree, the scenes do get a bit rote after a while. This is a constant challenge in porn - once the performers understand what a studio wants, many of them simply develop a new "dance routine" that becomes as predictable and uninspired as the porn I'd hoped to offer a departure from. It's something I've been giving a lot of thought to and looking for ways to combat.

• Is F/F taking over the industry 11/11/2012 6:23:34 AM
  
  In my opinion g/g porn is at that crucial point where it's easy for both directors and performers to default into a routine, the choreography we know so well, and almost go on autopilot. I've become more vigilant than ever about pushing the girls to go deeper inside themselves and their sexuality and break out of the routine. I've turned my primary focus back to my g/g studio (Girl Candy Films) because frankly I see the whole genre getting lazier and yes, faker. Small, independent studios like Twilight Women are the ones to watch for inspiration right now.

  It would be my pleasure. There seem to be a lot of (vaginal?) walls in your psyche that need breaking through. ;) I'm so grateful, and humbled, that you guys like the movies. And by the title of this thread! I don't even fantasize about things like this they're so far-fetched!

• Nica Noelle - Best Director Ever? 8/12/2012 3:43:46 AM
  
  Marcus and I actually did three scenes that day. I think the camera was only rolling for one, though - the second one. That's why my makeup is already looking a little messed up in the dialogue. Like most women with a pulse, I love Mr. Marcus. <3

• What is the real need for a cum shot at the end? 7/24/2012 6:08:32 AM
  
  I've shot many scenes that involve Dom/Sub elements and slapping, spitting, choking, cum shots to the face (&quot;Sinderella & Me&quot; starring Manuel Ferrara, Allie Haze and Darla Crane, for one). As long as it develops organically between the couple and takes place within a passionate, intense scene where the sex is real, and looks real, I think it's just another way to express sexuality and can be very hot! It's just gotta be in context and it's gotta look like everyone wants to be there and is enjoying themselves. They have to look connected in those little ways you can't fake.

• What is the real need for a cum shot at the end? 7/23/2012 6:04:03 AM
  
  What we fantasize about or masturbate to isn't necessarily something we want or would find enjoyable in real life. My own fantasies have gone to some really strange places over the years, and sometimes I'd even surprise myself, like &quot;why would I think about that? I don't want to do that.&quot; Sexual fantasies are fluid, and unpredictable. And the notion that they always represent what we &quot;really want&quot; is in my opinion not necessarily true. So many men I've spoken to since I started directing have told me that they look for a specific physical type, or age range, when they watch a woman in a porn film, but in real life they have varied tastes and don't judge a woman's physical attractiveness by the same standard.

• Nica Noelle - Best Director Ever? 7/23/2012 5:57:18 AM
  
  Ohhh okay. I see what you're saying. I'll try to keep that in mind when I shoot and see if I can make a few adjustments here and there with that visual in mind.

• Nica Noelle - Best Director Ever? 7/22/2012 2:37:20 PM
  
  I shoot full body shots all the time. I film with three cameras, so you get a variety of shots. I'm not a cinematographer by trade, but my goal is to make the viewer feel he or she is on the bed with the couple and has simply turned to watch them. So I try to keep the cameras level the performers and I don't go too wide -- generally the performer's bodies fill most of the screen, but they are still full body shots a good percentage of the time. But again, stills are a whole different area and I don't direct or shoot stills. AmKamaSutra thank you so very much. I strive to improve all the time in many ways, but the most important thing for me is that the sex look real, and that the emotions leading up to the sex seem real. When they do, it's ...

• Sovereign Syre ADT thread 7/21/2012 8:36:57 AM
  
  Sovereign was one of a few women to shoot for me whom had never before done porn. She's also one of several models who expressed that she didn't want to 'become a porn star' per se, but to do special projects exclusively for me &quot;on the side&quot; of her primary career as an art model. There was never a written contract for Sovereign nor for any of the women who express a desire to work exclusively for me. But I considered her a potentially special find, and as such I gave her a great deal of publicity and focused a lot of attention on building her a quality erotic film career. However, it's no criticism of Sovereign to say that what often follows the above-scenario is the girl who had &quot;no intention of doing porn&quot; observes he...

  Thanks mstrhole. You are the best. Charn's correct that I banned him from my forum a few years back, and I'm sorry you're still smarting, dude. I never take issue with my detractors or critics UNLESS they're trying to give me some &quot;payback&quot; under the guise of an &quot;objective review&quot; following some tiff between us. Its intellectually dishonest to attack someone's work just because you have a problem with them personally. I routinely compliment good work of people I can't stand, because it's two completely separate things. (I just did it today, in fact.) So Charn, why make it a point to chime in on every thread on which I'm mentioned (which you do) if my work is so forgettable? For the record, stills photos are NOT taken du...

• What is the real need for a cum shot at the end? 7/21/2012 6:48:42 AM
  
  Goregore, i've always ended a good percentage of my b/g scenes with a female orgasm after the male's, beginning with my very first b/g movie &quot;The Stepmother,&quot; I think that's now four years ago. Reviewers frequently commented on my movies featuring an additional female orgasm after the male cum shot, which alerted me to the fact that no one else was doing it. but maybe i'm wrong and Mason was already doing it, i have no idea.
