Thanks man it’s actually fun doing it.
Gram is a great guy I have known him for years, he is funny and extremely talented as a writer.
as for the tube sites…they are killing mainstream porn, it’s why guys like me have moved into vertical markets that they cant realistically service very well.
This might be before your time, but do you know if fluffers really existed in pre-viagra days? I’ve gotten conflicting reports from the web.
You ever try starring in one of your productions?
Have you gone out with any of your performers?
You find it hard keeping a relationship while you’re working in the “business”?
it isnt before my time…fluffers are the oldest myth in porn. They have only ever existed on the large gangbang shoots and even those are porn actresses paid to keep the guys who arent at the helm ready to go.
I have been talent many times…the first time was out of necessity the guy I had couldn’t perform, which was a complete mystery to me at the time. I now understand how few actually can. As for me I always figured Im reliable wood, average and best of all I work cheap for myself 
I have dated more performers than I can even remember I have maintained fairly long relationships with many (still do) some with benefits some not. I have dated a lot of porns A List
It is probably more difficult maintaining a traditional relationship while being in poirn because it takes an extraordinarily secure person to be able to deal with a partner that does porn. Its easier when you are both in the biz but not much. I have forgone the long term monogamous route in favor of the friends with benefits route and I must say I really prefer it, I have many very intimate very close friendships with females both in and out of the industry that aren’t clogged up with the weeds of jealousy and guilt.
I read an interview with Greg Dark once (“The Devil and Britney Spears,” Esquire, maybe a decade ago) and he said he kept hoping the actors would tell him at some point “No, I won’t do that, that’s disgusting!” But they never did.
Have any of your performers blanched at a request from you? What was it?
Do you think Max Hardcore is good or bad for the industry?
What’s your opinion of all the superhero parodies coming out lately?
Is the big-budget art porn of the 70s ever going to make a comeback, or is it doomed by the immensely greater profitability of a few people with a camcorder in a cheap motel room?
Your family know what you do for a living?
You have any particular fetish of your own?
Has working in the business numbed you to porn in general? After all those years do you find it arousing at all?
How’d you get into the business? Did you just decide one day, “You know, I think I’ll make a porno.”?
So *are *most of them actually pretty, or do you get a lot that you have to turn down based on their looks?
As a fan one generation ago, there has to be lasting online tributes and recognition for stars like Tracy Lords, Christy Canyon, and Marilyn Chambers.
You won’t find many online images of Traci Lords, as she was a minor when she made her films - so posting images of her from back then would be illegal (even if she IS no longer a minor - pretty far from it).
When you appear as talent, how much do you let yourself simply enjoy the physical act? I mean, on the one hand, you’re doing a job and creating a product for sale. On the other hand, well, you’re boffing a hot chick, for cripe’s sake! How do you reconcile these two sides?
So when a girl comes to you because she wants to be in one of your films and you haven’t hired her before, do you put her through an audition, making her perform for you privately so you’ll know what she can and can’t, or will and won’t, do? Basically, do you sample the merchandise first, or do you not see her perform until you’re on set and rolling?
Why on God’s Green Earth do you/they have to cut to the guy making fuck faces? I want to see that less than never!
Do you know of any sexual harassment lawsuits in the industry? I’m just curious as to how an industry that is all about sex can even define, let alone deal with, sexual harassment.
Did you see Boogie Nights? If you did, what did you think of its depiction of the industry?
Have you ever, during a private moment of intimacy, yelled, “CUT!”?
I read an interview with Greg Dark once (“The Devil and Britney Spears,” Esquire, maybe a decade ago) and he said he kept hoping the actors would tell him at some point “No, I won’t do that, that’s disgusting!” But they never did.
Greg was an interesting and talented fellow, there seemed to be something about his movies that made the performers eager to push the limits. That said the limits in those days were much tamer, nobody shot anal to mouth, hardcore bondage, choking someone out or anything that remotely resembled violent acts with hardcore.
Have any of your performers blanched at a request from you? What was it?
No but remember when i shoot a girl we talk about it beforehand to establish what she is comfy with, plenty of the girls dont want to do anal for instance. I did have one in a boy girl scene once who said I think I have changed my mind, do I have to do this. My answer was of course not and we called it right there.
Do you think Max Hardcore is good or bad for the industry?
Personally I know and like Paul Little, the Max Hardcore character I do not like, I dont like dressing girls up as underage I dont like the whole abusive, violent act and I think it is not just bad but horrible for the industry.
What’s your opinion of all the superhero parodies coming out lately?
The parodies have gotten old in my opinion but porners are like a flock of blackbirds, they are all sitting on a phone wire and one takes off and they all follow him, then he returns and they all follow him back. Right now they are all doing parodies.
**Is the big-budget art porn of the 70s ever going to make a comeback, or is it doomed by the immensely greater profitability of a few people with a camcorder in a cheap motel room?[/B
I expect there is goig to be enough of both in the future although right now nobody is doing much with any kind of erotic art, I do expect to see it return, history tends to repeat itself.
Your family know what you do for a living?
Yes I never hid it from anyone and honestly it has very rarely been an issue with anyone
You have any particular fetish of your own?
When I started the biz the concept of a facial was strange to me, now I find it exciting, although that is in part because its a niche that pays my bills.
I am very much into sexy dress, I like a girl to smell good, look and act feminine and stockings and such are a huge turn on.
Has working in the business numbed you to porn in general? After all those years do you find it arousing at all?
It does numb you to a degree but I love shooting because its not so much a turn on as it is fun. I could solve the problems in the middle east easily…Get all of them together, naked in a room with one pretty girl. Guys are very polite when they are all naked together. Getting back to your question, the porn itself isnt such a turn on anymore but making it is.
**How’d you get into the business? Did you just decide one day, “You know, I think I’ll make a porno.”?

I was too dumb to know I couldn’t basically…I was working for NASA at KSC as a software engineer. I had some video production background, mostly in training video and the like. Every year I would attend the CES show in Las vegas to see the latest and greatest in consumer electronics technology and I would always spend Saturday at the “Adult Software” section, which was adult videos.
I was sitting at a round table in a crowded lunch area and a guy came and sat next to me and introduced himself as Rick Savage. he commented on my accent asked where I lived and I said Atlanta. he said OH I love Atlanta the girls are beautiful and you have strp clubs everywhere…you should shoot porn in Atlanta, I know someone who would buy it.
Three years later I found his card and called him back…He remembered me and the rest is porn history
Why do the blowjobs in modern porn go on for so damned long? When I first watched porn in the '80s, blowjobs were “foreplay”. Sure, they went on longer than what most guys were likely to get in real life, but it was still clear that the oral was just a preliminary to the fucking. Now, in nearly every video I watch, I can watch five minutes of blowjob, get bored and start fast forwarding … and 15-20 minutes into the video the girl is still sucking the guy’s dick.
Part of my objection to these interminable blowjobs is this: I want to see the girl’s naked body. But they often remain clothed for half the length of the blowjob, and even when they finally get naked, there are only so many non-awkward positions where you can clearly see their whole bodies during a blowjob. If the common kneeling position is used, the guy’s body blocks a lot of the view; the girl is sitting on her heels so you can’t really see her ass; if she’s using her hands on the guy then her own arms block the view of her tits.
**So are most of them actually pretty, or do you get a lot that you have to turn down based on their looks?
I turn down way more than I shoot and its the toughest thing I have to do really because I never want to hurt someones feelings…I mean how do you tell someone I am sorry but you just arent attractive enough to be sodomized on film…I usually say something like you are attractive but you really don’t fit into my particular niche, good luck.
Oh Im sure there are [noparse] iafd.com /noparse for example is pretty complete when it comes to accurate filmographies and such too.
This is correct but she does have one movie that she made after she was 18 called “Traci I Love You” incidentally it is the only movie that she owned the distribution rights to.
