If it’s such a well known ‘fact’, no doubt you can provide some cites? (That’s kind of how we operate around here. We want something more than just an unsupported assertion.)
And real cites, not those from some anti-porn fanatic or someone who makes their living from this.
This is amusing. I was just reading that site. Until this morning, I had no idea what rule 34 was…
Cites for what? That some paedophiles produce and distribute videos between themselves out of sight of mainstream society?
Heh.
The OP asks about a sleezy porn underworld existing today. Even today a great deal of the porn industry (and publications like Adult Video News) seems to be based in the same place it was based in the '70’s and '80’s…the San Fernando Valley. This can be googled and wiki’ed.
As for a sleezy porn underworld, you don’t need to see a movie like 8MM. You might recall an early episode of CSI that investigated a girl killed in a snuff film. The pornorgrapher was cast in pretty much the same mold as that film.
Really. That every few months you get another announcement that a set of filesharing pages and a couple dozen pervs from several different countries got taken down … and it just seems to happen again next time around, seems to indicate they have ways to comunicate and gather again. But, also, that like much illegal-contraband activity it is a very decentralized activity, that can’t be easily decapitated.
As with many criminal enterprises, some parts of it are probably worse and bigger, and some other parts of it way more pathetic and lame, than we imagine.
I think the OP WANTS there to be a ‘hardcore porn flea market’ like some kind of depraved Disney world, and is just expressing his fantasy and hope that he can go there, pay admission, and get enough tittilation to hold him over for a month. Maybe in Europe, bub. I’m only commenting here because I personally know of a ‘big underground S&M’ bust that took place in a trailer park. A friend of mine who lived there said his next door neighbor was busted for prostitution as a dominatrix and was instructing her young daughters in that way of life. So we have one fat, smelly, sad welfare mom, two underage daughters, and a couple perverts visiting her shabby trailer, which seems par for the course. Any thrilling underground catacomb of dark grimy basements has never been discovered. Here. But then, I can’t speak for L.A.
Not really; my sexual tastes are utterly “vanilla.”
Linda Lovelace was just a dumb broad who went where ever she could get attention.

Seriously, that woman had issues, meaning nothing she ever said or did was worth believing.
Great advice. Fantastic movie.
Agreed. I’ve never seen ‘Deep Throat’, but I did read up on it one day. Lovelace’s claims of performing “with a gun to her head” sound really, really dubious – considering the ease with which modern pornographers have finding people to perform. There is a lot of shadiness to the money from ‘Deep Throat’ (as in, questions about where it went, whether the mafia was involved, da, da, da), so its not really a pleasant thing through-and-through.
