- Porn: For Only Hung Guys and Gorgeous Women? 8/15/2011 12:47:55 AM I've got to agree with the OP and many of the replies here. I think it's great that not every male talent is hugely hung. It does add variety and as you can see from the replies here, people like it both ways. It's nice to see the average size male as most of the population is average from what studies say, so it makes relative sense. It is also really enjoyable to see a pornstar taking a deepthroat of a nice hard, yes, hard, 9-10 inch dick. I think it goes both ways, and it's the porn that has the most say in if it's good or not. If the actors are into it, it can be blazing hot and you'll forget about size, etc. The same theory is in play right now regarding women porn talent. It used to be that everyone had to have huge breasts to make i...
- porn, politics and religion 8/15/2011 12:34:09 AM ^^Hi Empress, Welcome to ADT. Seems you are new, as I am relatively too. My answer to this from what I gather about the industry is that it may be worth billions overall (down from previous decade but probably still billions overall), is that it is simply too fragmented to cohesively lobby government to create influence. There's just so many aspects to adult entertainment wrapped up in those billion figures, that it's nearly impossible to band together on that scale. That figure includes porn, strip clubs, cam sites, and who knows what else they lump in there to arrive at a figure that no one can authenticate. Remember, that Hollywood may seem gigantic but overall it is controlled by a handful of studios, much like the music industry was. ...
- Porn Star Salaries? 8/14/2011 11:44:32 PM Flash wrote: The Edge wrote: I can see that being an annual gross paying job of $30,000 (2.5 scenes x average $1000 b/g x 12). Now that's not bad money considering it's what a few day's worth of time per month to earn? Not going to cover the bills very well though. I had trouble covering the bills making 34K in the next state up, never mind at LA prices. Yes, no one can live on that salary. But my point was that they can earn that on a very-part-time basis and work another job career as well (assuming the other job doesn't care/know about the porn career). And this is of course if the talent isn't working other things like dancing, their own sites, etc.
- Should adult films feature less pornography? 8/14/2011 11:38:40 PM skyway wrote: And, I should add that-within the world of porn and people who seek out the sex in porn-I have no idea how making a scene shorter could make it better. None. Not in the day and age of DVD and online streaming. Any time you the viewer watch a scene, you can make it as short as you like. You can skip around in the scene whenever and however you like. I never watch a scene from start to finish without pausing or skipping around. BUT, I want to be the one in control of that. I want the director and editor to leave as much of what was shot IN the released movie. I've always said I'd prefer to get a movie with completely unedited, uncut scenes. (And not just the Manuel Ferrare scenes with the one crappy camera). Each time I watch t...
- Sasha Grey/porn star mainstream crossover debate 8/14/2011 11:12:25 PM As the starter to this thread, I just wanted to say how cool, and varied the replies and opinions have been. My goal was to get people talking on the concept of porn star outside of porn and in mainstream and if it's good/bad for porn in any way. Many good points have been made on both sides and my viewpoint has changed a bit since I first started this thread. I definitely still don't think Sasha has turned her back on porn in any way, and for that, I'm glad. I'm happy she's doing things she is interested in and she has earned that opportunity by all of her means. I don't think she would ever turn her back on porn the way Jenna did; I could be wrong but it's just my gut instinct that it was true for her while doing it, and her opinion on i...

- Fans buying stuff off their fav stars wish list 7/21/2011 12:50:45 AM InfraredDreamer wrote: An update with a happy ending. So I decide that I would take the Polaroid. Might as well take whatever is being offered, suck up the sour grapes and move on. I send my shipping address along with, upon reflection, a more obnoxious version of my earlier expressed disappointment. Today, a DVD arrives. Of course I feel a bit stupid for my chosen tone in the last e-mail I sent. But I was very pleasantly surprised. The star stepped up and did the right thing, in spite of the attitude in my last e-mail accepting the Polaroid. In the end, depsite a bit of frustration, she got something she wanted. I got what I was expecting based on our interaction. Thanks were exchanged. After this experiment, no more wishlist buying for ...

I had some banter with her which I found really funny as I had never and have never since been asked such a question. For me I made the right decision and cannot see myself ordering in, but you can never say never as none of us know our future circumstances. Jonny Jay, you should have enjoyed that bj. What a nice appetizer before dinner.
- When Did Max Hardcore Get Out? 7/19/2011 11:11:12 PM [/quote] But I appreciate your thoughtful response. But why are people defending this guy? [/quote] It's really quite simple. His charge wasn't worthy of imprisonment. Regardless of what you think of his material and the person himself, prosecuting him for obscenity for his material goes down a slippery slope that I don't want to see this country go down. It's absurb and a joke and the majority of this country I think, understand this. Based of the actions you say he implored, charges to those effects could have been brought forth, and then he could have been tried for that. Even if a performer was intimidated on set at the time, if enough of these cases came forward, eventually he could have been charged with this behavior. But obscenity ...

I will try not to derail this thread as you are trying your best to get me to do. If you are truly interested, go read an article of someone convicted of such a crime on a simple Google search and then what the judge imposes during their sentencing. You may/may not have a point on the child porn/computer aspect. I don't have info to refute that but I would like to read an article to that affect. I will comment that that would be impossible with a capital I to enforce though. What I will say though, is that assuming you are right, child porn and even Max's conviction for obscenity, are light years away, so the implication a judge could withhold future right...
- When Did Max Hardcore Get Out? 7/19/2011 4:16:44 PM Black Market Danny wrote: wouldn't filming be a violation of his release? I'm sure the judge put restrictions on his porn career. Like when a hacker gets released from prison they can't go near computers or risk being thrown back in the slammer. why would this be any different? www.BlackMarketxxx.com I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt a judge has the right to impose a future "no filming" restriction. Seems to me that would violate his rights. He was prosecuting for obscene material, not the filming of adult material per se, so to forbid any filming in the future would to me seem illegal in and of itself. That'd be akin to someone arrested for street drag racing and the judge orders him never to drive a car again. Don't think so.

I'm not sure what your conflicts are entirely, but one of them sounds like you think you are objectifying the woman, and that causes issues for you. To that I'd say, just remember it is usually her choice to be doing that, so there is really no objectification. Same goes with any type of in...

- Thanks to all the beautiful porn women stars! 7/18/2011 10:57:35 PM I also echo those sentiments. The performers deserve our sincere gratitude for the entertainment they provide! Thanks much!!!
- Should adult films feature less pornography? 7/18/2011 10:48:34 PM Some great comments on this topic. I'm rather new on the board, but just for context, let me say that I enjoy both features and gonzo scenes equally. The main problem with features, as many have pointed out here, is that the directors are throwing gonzo filmmaking scenes right in the middle of the feature storyline, which is no longer as well developed as previous efforts either. Now some of this is talent generated. I'm sorry, but to be honest, I really don't want to see many performers acting as they are just not that good at it, and it makes the feature just as bad. HOWEVER, there are tons of creative ways to capture a feature without prolonged scenes of dialogue, so it can be done. This would provide the energy/emotion to the scene whi...
- Porn Star Salaries? 7/18/2011 4:40:21 PM Porno Dan wrote: Production is down from about 200 scenes a day being shot in Los Angeles to around 50 scenes a day. There are currently about active 600 performers (those being tested every month) down from around 1,300 to 1,500. Rates have fallen but not by much, this is one of the many reasons the decrease in production. The main reason rates have stayed at their previous levels is that some agencies refuse to lower their rates. Rates truly do vary based upon the popularity of the performers, looks, time in business etc... On "Average" Boy/Girl is $700 to 1,200, Girl/Girl $300 to $700, Blowjob $200 to $500. The average model works four to eight times per month. Hi Porno Dan. Some questions and observations if I may. Using y...

- When Did Max Hardcore Get Out? 7/18/2011 3:00:10 AM I'm not going to post pro or con about Max here as it's been done to DEATH. What I will say is I hope he comes back to porn. Am I a fan of his work? Well, yes and no. I've seen some of his work, not lots, and some was genuinely arousing, and other aspects, no, I didn't like at all. I think the industry, whether they like him or not, should welcome him back on principle alone. He at least tried to beat an unfair charge and the industry and legal rights in this country suffered for his loss, not just him. He didn't (apparently) have the resources that John Stagliano had (and for the record, I'm THRILLED that he beat his charge, although I would have loved the victory to have come after a true hearing and not an early technicality, so jurors ...
