Porn = Art? redux

AZN Ultra Idols

I guess I touched a few nerves with my rant on porn and art a little while ago. I got a fun comment from a guy named Ron, and then I read this, over at LukeIsBack!:

David Aaron Clark replies to IShootPorn:

What a tedious debate; particularly when the smug know-nothings on the “nay” side are as sure of themselves as they are that the earth is flat. Of course porn can be & sometimes is art — this is not a new development, & the porn that crosses the line into art is not only not necessarily but rarely the stuff that loudly claims to be for the sake of the director’s ego or marketing strategies — those who insist “no, no, nope, can’t be” sound as stupid as those who once argued that comic strips, comic books, jazz, pop music, even photography & movies (!) cannot instrinically be “art.” Note that these are all art forms that began (except for photography) in the earlier part of the 20th century … hardcore porn as an organized genre dates at best to the late ’60s, in addition to which it dives directly into the subject of sexual desire & satisfaction, an “illicit” subject matter which comics, jazz, etc., were all accused in their infancy of invoking & promoting … In another 25 years or so, after there’s something akin to a comprehensive critical body of work on the form, these neo-philistines will sound as comical as the uptight Southern rednecks in 1950s newsreels denouncing “race music.”

Does “IShootPorn” even realize that by choosing Duchamp, Warhol & Pollack as examples of actual “artists,” he’s zeroing in on three figures whose status as legimate artists were in fact hotly debated in their respective eras, with the majority of both the general public & the fine art establishment both giving initial thumbs-down to the question? Or that most certainly Peter Paul Reubens’ work has launched uncounted onanistic orgasms for centuries? Believe it or not, oh middlebrow-one, there have been many generations of masturbators –including the majority of modern-day wankers — with enough of an imagination & engagement with beauty & human sexuality to be able find squirt-worthy inspiration in something besides the mean-spirited, lowest-common-denominator “heet getting pounded by a dude, and she takes a big ol’ load to the kisser. Especially if she didn’t want it on her face. Or a cute white chick getting banged by a big-dicked brother” you espouse as the sin qua non of smut on your little blog.

Sin qua non of smut? That’s some good shit. I mean is all this educated talk is really meant to confuse? Who knew there were so many pornographers that made it past the 7th grade?!

I feel kinda bad now, cause I’m really not a smug guy. Do I sound smug? A bit sarcastic at times, maybe. But smug?

And a know-nothing? Well, now my feelings are really hurt.

Why am I on the nay side? Nay side of what? I love porn! I really don’t get it. I must be a know-nothing. Although I do know, in its infancy, porn as a genre had some sort of plot for only one reason: to avoid obscenity prosecution. And we could go round and round, but that would be silly. Accorinding to Mr. Clark, I guess we’ll just have to wait to, like, 2030 or so, to see if such masterpieces like Cafe Flesh or, perhaps, one of Eon McKai’s “films”, are being talked about.

And really, right now no one can really say. If someone said, in 1968, that one of R. Crumb’s drawings would fetch anything more than a hamburger at McDonald’s, well…they’d be called crazy.

Call me crazy…but 25 years from now I’m saying a quarter pounder with cheese will hold more value than Kill Girl Kill #3. Or AZN Ultra-Idols.

So time to work on my little blog some more. That is, right after I get this big-dicked brother on my set to blast a wad of jizz into blondie’s face – whether she likes it or not.

Anal Pleasure and Health

butt sex

My studio partner just handed me a copy of Anal Pleasure & Health, by Jack Morin, Ph.D.

Apparently, Dr. Jack is an anus expert. A whiz kid when it comes to bungholes. His book is the “first and only researched-based guide for the millions of men and women – of all sexual orientation – who want to include the anal area in their sensuality and eroticism.”

Count me out as one of those millions.

Oh sure, I’ve tried to get in to pounding my girlfriends’ asses. Trust me, I’ve had my share of colon invasions. When my last ex was in a really horny mood – and in the middle of her period – she’s jump right on and stick it in her butt. To me, it was no big deal.

Maybe if I was in the mindset of an Alpha Dog at the dogpark I frequent, it would be another deal. Cause let’s face it – getting off on banging a girl’s ass is all about control and domination.

End of story.

Well, it’s really naughty, too…and dirty. Literally dirty. I’ve had my dick looking like a fudgescicle after pulling out of a pooper, so I know. I guess I shoulda had his book next to my bed. I especially like the illustrations in Dr. Jack’s book: at the begininng of Chapter 9 (“Discovering the Rectum”) there’s a great one feturing a dude fisting himself; there’s positions for self-examintation; there’s a whole page dedicated to objects for rectal stimulation; it’s really pretty inclusive.

I’ve shot my share of anal scenes, too, and let me say this – it can get really messy. Or, put it this way: what you see on camera ain’t what’s happening on the set. Once, at Dogfart’s secret mansion, Wesley Pipes was pounding the shit out of some girl’s ass. In other words, interracial sodomy. When he pulled his dick out, a long, thick stream of diarrhea followed. I don’t recall where it went, or who cleaned it up.

I can guarantee it didn’t make the final cut on tape.

So here’s a few tips from me – when you’re cuddling around the TV with your significant other, and the porno’s running, and it’s all about ass, don’t think that if you attempt what you’re watching on camera the results are going to be the same.

And buy Dr. Jack’s book, so you don’t end up like Wesley Pipes.

Back to the studio

Mia Bang

I’ve been lazy with my blog lately, and there’s a couple reasons why.

First and foremost, I’m burned out. I don’t even want to think about porn – let alone attempt to write anything about it. That’s why you’ve seen 2 interviews and a bunch of down days, with no entries at all. Can you imagine that? Getting burned out on taking pics and movies of nekkid chicks…people fuckin’ and suckin’.

I think in the last two months I’ve shot something like 40 scenes. Maybe more. I think I should look at my calendar and see what that number is. In addition to all the work, I’ve had some nutcases in the studio, too. I don’t even want to get into specifics, but shit man…this business is a circus. And it attracts some loonies – that’s for sure.

That’s what’s got me down most, I think.

I left LA last week and came home for a few days, and now I’m back again, to knock off the December contract work I have booked. I shot Mia Bang, today, if that means anything at all to you. I even knocked out a set of pretty girls with her, too…in addition to the b/g/g we shot. All in all a productive day.

Me and Mia go way back. I’ve shot her a bunch of times, and it’s always a good thing when she makes her way to my studio. We got her in the Gloryhole, too. Today she shot one of the sites I can’t really talk about.

So there’s Spring Thomas scenes this week, as well as two sites that haven’t launched yet. I can’t mention anything about them until they’re live. I think I’m gonna get a JOMG scene shot, too…and maybe even another new site I can’t talk about, too.

My pal Noah today asked me who I’m shooting: Savannah Stern, Mia Bang, Michelle Sweet, Chelci Fox, Sophia, Raquel Devine, as well as the usual girls – Spring Thomas and the two I can’t talk about right now.

All these girls and sites I can’t talk about. Silly, huh?

I’ll try and knock out a MILF scene for Blacks On Blondes, too – as well as jumping in the van and hitting the Gloryhole. Oh…did I mention the MILF might bring her whimpy, cuckold hubby to sit in and watch? Yea…it could get nutty. That’s the Raquel Devine job. Michelle Sweet is gonna get it from some well-hung brothas, as well…and both of them are stepping up to the hole.

Should be an interesting week. Let’s see what happens. In the meantime, there’s Mia Bang’s DD fun bags.

Enjoy.

Interview with a Porn Star (#5) — Cherry Poppens

Cherry Poppens

IShootPorn: I think you’ve got one of the best porno names in the biz. How’d you dream it up?

Cherry Poppens: I was sitting on the couch with a big 2 foot bong and I was thinking all my managers keep telling me I need a last name! Then, something about Disney came to mind, and the fact that I had sang Supercalifragalisticexpealidocious when I was 10 years old for a recital made it all seem too perfect.

ISP: How long have you been in the game now?

CP: Today is my third year! To the day! I moved down here from Sac Town on December 2, and and shot my first scene. A solo. Then I left for Maui 3 days later. It was my second scene. I worked for Adult.com in Maui.

ISP: What’s the dumbest thing a director’s asked you to do?

CP: There’s been a lot of stupid shit…let’s see. Um…It’s hard to differentiate “stupid” from “sick”. Last week the dude came on a girl’s ass crack, the jizz dripped into my mouth, and as it was going into my mouth I noticed his cum was bright yellow. So I thought it might be ass juice, but it only turned out to be from an overdose of vitamins.

ISP: Name one scene you regret.

CP: Doing the black midget.

ISP: So we can’t talk about the time you fucked Lil’ Pimp?

CP: It was, um…jeez. It was the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done that I’ve had to admit to, cause at that time I was in the mindset that what I do won’t be seen, so it really doesn’t matter. But you know what? People DO see it. That was the first porno everyone talked about in my hometown.

ISP: Is there any way you’d go steady with me?

CP: (Laughs) You live in Arizona. We’ve already talked about this.

ISP: How much longer till you’re out?

CP: Until I find something better to do.

ISP: You used to sing in a band. What was it called?

CP: X-Chromosome.

ISP: What did you play?

CP: Punk rock, motherfucker!

ISP: Anything else you wanna mention?

CP: Not really. I don’t think so.

Interview with a Porn Star (#4) — Brandy Talore

Brandy Talore

IShootPorn: Boy, I feel like a dope. I just learned that I’ve been mispronouncing your name since I first flipped out over your pics on LADirect’s site! How do you pronounce it?

Brandy Talore: Like Taylor. Only I spelled like I do cause someone owns BrandyTaylor.com, and I wanted that last name…so I’m Talore!

ISP: Please give me all your vitals.

BT: Well, all I’ll say is my birthday’s in February (Aquarius), and I’m from a small town in Ohio. I’m 5’2″ 125 lbs., I’ve got brown hair and brown eyes, and I’m a 36DDD! And, by the way, I’m all natural!

ISP: So what you’re saying is there’s not one drop of silicone in those bad boys??

BT: No there isn’t!

ISP: How’d you get in the biz?

BT: I modeled for about 3 years for different adult magazines, and I just decided to take the next step!

ISP: Can you name a few of the stroke mags?

BT: Well, I’m in the holiday issue of Busty Beauties…that’s my latest one on the stands. All in all I’ve appeared in about 30.

ISP: What do you like about the biz?

BT: Let’s put it this way – I like to fuck people and get paid for it.

ISP: So you’re an escort?

BT: Nope! Only on camera, you dirty man!

ISP: Do you like girls?

BT: Yes! I love girls! My very favorite is Sara Stone. She’s so cool. We’re very similiar. She’s got big boobs that are real. And she just told me she’s not doing b/g anymore!

ISP: Got a website right now?

BT: BrandyTalore.com is up, but it isn’t all ready yet. It’ll take you to WantBoobs.com for now.

ISP: How far off before it’s all you?

BT: Hopefully another month.

ISP: Anything else I left out?

BT: Um…(laughs). I dunno. I don’t know what else to say…I love porn!

Some things in my life I love, lately.

Karen Voight

The new Audioslave song Doesn’t Remind Me.
(And I have no idea why. I was never much of a Soundgarden fan, certainly not a Rage Against the Machine Fan…but damn, I love this song.)

Kung Fu Hustle.
(At the end, when our hero kicks ass, and the cat who got his ass kicked says “How did you do that?” and our hero says “Let me teach you…” well, that’s what it’s all about, my friends.)

Anything Andy Warhol ever did. Including his movies.
(Trust me, his movies are bad, too. Really awful.)

Some of my new websites.
(Duh.)

My new dog. To go along with my other dog.
(They love beating the shit out of each other, which allows me to get my work done.)

Vinyl.
(Cause nothing sounds as warm as analog.)

Might as well add my turntable. And tube amps.
(And I’ll say it again: nothing sounds as warm as analog.)

My new niece.
(She’s a princess, and no…no link. Sorry.)

The Honda Element.
(I don’t give a fuck how “boxy” you think they look.)

My blog.
(Damn Straight.)

Porn Star Blogs.
(Cause they’re almost as ridiculous as the girls themselves.)

The Canon GL2.
(Cause it still makes the best internet movies as far as I’m concerned.)

The Minion.
(Scroll under this entry, once you click the link. Oh, and Minion…time for some Chinese buffet, my brotha! Call Chico, too!!!)

Trying to do Yoga at home with a Karen Voight DVD.
(Right after she gets me into Downward Facing Dog I wish she’d take off all her clothes, so when I came back to table top, I could see her perfect MILF titties in all their splendid glory pointing right at me.)

How Much Money do Porn Stars Make?

Bailey

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, I thought I’d talk about what pornstars are most grateful for…namely, the money they earn. Afterall, money is why they do what they do (or don’t do)…does that make sense?

However, I must be getting old. Have I posted something like this before? I feel like I have, somewhere. But I searched my own blog and didn’t find anything. Oh well. If I did, just look at the nudie pics I gave you guys today: I shot newbie Bailey Bliss right before her very first B/G/G scene (which she earned $900) and gave these to her, for her personal use. I think some of them showed up on her agent’s site – the very infamous Jim South of World Modeling.

With that, let’s start!

Current Female Rates for the Los Angeles area:

Solo partial nudity: $50 – $75 an hour
Solo full nude/masturbation: $100 an hour.
Handjobs: $150-$200
Blowjobs: $200-$300
G/G (girl-girl lesbo fun): $400-$800 a girl.
B/G (boy-girl sex): $700-$900.
B/B/G sex: add $100 per dick over her B/G rate.
Anal: $900-$1200
D/P (double penetration – one dick in your pussy and one in your ass at the same time): $1200-$1400
Gang Bangs (4 guys or more): $1400-$1600…again, add around $100 per dick to your limit, up to about 5, and then it’s just a flat rate.
Bukkake: Negotiable. Not many girls do bukkake, but they’re out there.

Current Male Rates for the Los Angeles area:

Solo full nude/masturbation to cumshot: $100-$200, depending on build/dick size.
Boy/Girl sex: $300-$1000, depending on dick size and performance reputation.

Anything gay, from BJ’s to fucking: $300-$3500, depending on factors I know nothing about…bascially, I’m going by part-rumor, part what I’ve seen other producers pay their talent. There’s also other factors like multiple partner gay sex, barebacking, and IR (interracial), and all sorts of shit that effect rates gay/gay-for-pay talent earn.

I really don’t know much about the fetish stuff – like B/D, watersports and whatnot – straight or gay.

Add $100 per girl if you’re getting them through an agency; add $50 per dude for the same thing.

Prices outside the Los Angeles area can drop anywhere from 10 – 40% below these rates. For example, I think the going rate for B/G sex in Phoenix, AZ, is around $500-600 for the girl, and $100-150 for the dude.

In the end, it really boils down to whatever the talent is willing to take for whatever it is you want them do to.

Oh…and if you mention the word “private” all bets are off. “Private” is a fancy way of saying you wanna fuck them off camera, treating your female (or male) talent like a common hooker. Some talent won’t even consider a private. I’ve heard of some talent being highly offended when they were offered private work; after all, they’re not hookers – they’re porn stars! And the ones who do privates get pretty big bucks. I’ve heard rumors (that are pretty substantial…that is, they came from great sources) of female talent earning $5000-$10,000 for a night of work in Vegas. Who knows…probably urban legend.

Or is it?

Top 5 Spunkmouth scenes – #1: Boo, Brandon Iron, and S.S.

Here's Boo!

We had shot Bella Donna a couple times, so she was hanging around Dogfart’s Secret Mansion every now and then. One day she strolled in with this blue-eyed brunette that simply blew me away. She had these piercing eyes and was wearing a skin-tight brown sweat suit and she was a B cupper – maybe even an A cupper – and her ass was big and firm and perfect. My God! She looked like the hottie at the bank that took your deposit…or the super-heet grocery store gal that just rang up your total. That sort of thing.

Did I mention I’m a sucker for blue-eyed brunettes?

Turns out her name was Boo D. Licious, but everyone called her Boo. She had just done her first scene and was looking for more work. Thing was, she didn’t do IR…and that was fine by me. Spunkmouth wasn’t launched yet, but I already knew – just by taking one look at her – that Spunkmouth’s finest was standing just a few feet away from me.

I decided to approach Bella Donna and ask her about Boo. Turns out Bella would book the scene for me…but who did I have in mind for male talent?

No one really knows this, but for a while we were shooting these crazy anal scenes for a web site that, to this day, has never materialized. When I tell you these were the most extreme anal scenes I’ve ever seen – let alone even shot – I’m not lying…or bragging. I can’t even get into a descriptive narrative on these scenes, except to tell you there were brutal. And they bordered on disturbing. Bella had given us an anal scene for the site-that-would-never-be, and it was the kind of scene only a talent like Bella Donna could give.

My point is, Brandon Iron was male talent for a lot of these anal scenes. He was hanging around that day. And he had noticed Boo as quickly as I had.

“Wanna do a scene with her?” I asked Brandon.

He looked at me like I just asked him the dumbest question in the world.

“Dude, I want to fuck her so bad I’ll do your scene for a huge discount. Just book it!”

I knew I was on to something: Boo D. Licious and Brandon Iron. What could be better? How about throwing another dude in the mix? S.S. came up to me…or I approached him…and he was so excited to fuck Boo he did the scene for free.

Dogfart agreed to take stills, while I rolled tape, and Bella Donna directed. Well…she didn’t really direct too much, but she watched and nodded in approval as Brandon and S.S. pounded poor little Boo silly. Here’s the inside scoop: since S.S. really hadn’t shot a lot of scenes, he had some minor wood problems…which is common for amateur male talent. I didn’t mind, cause just his banter with Brandon on the set was worth having him around. But what S.S. lacked during the scene, he made up with his massive cum shot. He just about blinded Boo.

Not too long after, Dogfart would leave the mansion. I went home. S.S. moved on to grad school and making real movies. Brandon is still alive and kicking and churing out great smut. Bella got married and pregnant and shaved her head. And Boo? Well, I saw her once do a Shane’s World thing…and then, not too long after, her agent listed her as only doing solo/g-g work.

And then she just disappeared, like they all do…

Here's Boo!

Top 5 Spunkmouth scenes – #2: Spring Thomas and Dr. Z

Here's Spring!

I met Spring Thomas before she was Spring Thomas…when she was still Serina – or Ryan – depending on what dirty site you were visiting. She was maybe a month past her 18th birthday, and she was ready to jump into the game…head first. I arranged a meeting with her downtown, at a breakfast joint, and when I caught a glimpse of her looking for a parking spot in her purple car, my heart skipped a beat or two.

It was Serina in that purple car.

I knew the Serina scene, and I knew Serina was one of the hottest chicks on Amature Allure. And since I was still a beginner at this whole porno game, it made things that much more…exciting.

Amature Allure was the other show in town, and in a goofy kind of way, I always felt like Spunkmouth was in some sort of porno competition with AmAllure…which, looking back at it now, is really silly. Still, I wanted to book hotter chicks than he did, and his Serina score was a big one; if I booked Serina, the score was tied, as far as I was concerned.

Like I said…silly.

Spring and I hit it off right away, and I remember talking to her about things I didn’t really talk about in interviews…like what I did before I got into The Biz. I felt comfotable around her, and I’m assuming she felt the same around me. I didn’t even wait to ask my partner if we should book her…I just did.

Dr. Z was the lucky dude. He fucked Spring Thomas for the very first time on camera. Spring did the bj scene for AmAllure a few weeks before, as well as some topless/girl-girl stuff for Sweet Apples.

But we got her on camera taking a dick into that tight teen pussy for the very fist time. In fact, when she jumps up to do Z in cowgirl, she admits to the world it’s the very first time in her life “on top” of a guy! I don’t remember much beyond that. Except she had a nervous giggle throught her scene, and she admitted to a foot fetish as she sucked Z’s toes…and Z shot the load all over her face. I snapped these quick pics after she cleaned up and was on her way out.

I guess I remember more than I thought I did…hence, this scene rates #2 for all the Spunkmouth episodes.

We booked Spring again, before I introduced her to the Blacks On Blondes folks, up on the top of that hill at Dogfart’s secret mansion. It was in that mansion she went from Spring to Spring Thomas.

And as they say…the rest is history.

Here's Spring!

Top 5 Spunkmouth scenes – #3: Tory Lane and Kevin Kline

Here's Tory!

Imagine you’re in a public park – maybe on a picnic – and you have to pee. And there’s a public toilet just down at the bottom of the hill. You tell your girlie you have to make a Number 1, and you head to the head.

And you walk in to find a heet taking a piss right in front of you. Get this – she doesn’t freak out. Oh sure, she’s nervous at first, then she smirks and asks, “Are you a man whore?”

Of course I am, my darling. Let’s just make this quick, cause my girl is at the top of the hill, breaking out the ham and cheese sandwiches, and if I’m not back soon, she may get a little curious.

Porn star Tory Lane is simply off the hook. I mean there’s almost no porno girls like her working the circuit right now. Don’t think she’s an actress, cause what you see in her fuck scenes is genuine; Tory simply loves sex. No wonder she quit Hooter’s, left Florida, and hit Porno Land. And do you think her recent marriage to Rick Shameless forced her out of the game? Well…for a short time she was only doing g/g and solo stuff…but that didn’t last long. I don’t know this for fact, but I can only imagine the “talk” she had with Rick.

I could imagine it went something like, “Um honey, I’m going to start fucking guys again. I mean I’m not making all that much money doing solo work and girls, and I kinda miss all that dick.”

Rick’s a cool cat, too. Maybe there was no “talk”. Who knows. Who cares, really.

I dunno if you’ve seen the Spunkmouth Tory Lane episode, but it’s one of the few times I’ve actually had my head spin while shooting the scene. Why? After our stranger blasts her face with man goo, she notices a large wad on the filthy floor. And without any direction from me, she got down on her hands and knees, crawled slowly over to the goopy mess, and sucked it right into her mouth…and then looked at me and spit it all right into my camera lens.

“Now turn the camera off!” she demanded.

What’s a guy to do? Except meekly say, “Um, Tory…you missed my lens. I mean that’s a really hot idea there….Um…well…um…can I ask you a big favor. I mean…um…really big? Can you do it again? And this time hit my lens?”

And how did Tory react? I was worried she’d get pissed and tell me to forget it. Once is enough. Certainly not be too happy about the deal. She did the whole thing…all over again. Crawled back, found some more spunk on the floor, sucked it up with a smile on her face. And this time – bullseye!

Since she’s doing guys again, I want to shoot her at least one more time – badly.

Is there any way she’ll do interracial?

Here's Tory!
