I mentioned it earlier in the thread but seek out just about any scene with Mark & Gianna paired up together. They are volcanic scenes and they really get each other off. I am biased, though, and think just about any scene with Gianna is volcanic but these two, when paired together, seemed to lift it up just that much more. I am also biased toward Jenna Haze scenes but again these two have produced some hot scenes together. Someone mentioned it earlier but Mark's scene with Isis Taylor in Poolside Pussy was a great one. Again,2 people really into it. He did a good scene with Alia Janine in Boob Bangers that really showcased Alia's tremendous assets. When the two of them were grinding it out in missionary Alia looked great - up top and between her legs. Another great Boob Bangers scene is the one that he did with Yurizan Beltran. Yurizan really showed that she knew how to fuck in that scene. Great stuff. I guess that I am disappointed that Mark and Avy Scott never worked together (at least not to my knowledge). It isn't hard to envision the two of them putting in some hot work if paired up. Edited by - avyrox on 3/16/2012 10:50:41 AM
Here are my top 5 scenes in no particular order: - Tanya James: Fresh Flesh - Gianna: Massive Asses 3 - Charley Chase: Swimsuit Calendar Girls 3 - Jenna Haze & Tori Black: Pornstar Workout - Alexis Texas & Gianna: Buttwoman If you haven't checked out these scenes, then brother you are truly missing out. Also, note these are all works of Elegant Angel...why they no longer use him remains a mystery.
^ ah yes, the Gia DiMarco scene was one of his better ones since his return. From her Twitter in response about working with Mark Ashley for a future scene: "I hope so, Mark is great :) And he knows how to make me squirt like crazy!"
Mark's been pretty active again lately this year which is kickass. I'm gonna assume a lot of these are new shoots too, so he is still definitely around. I think he's back in the groove too, for awhile there after his accident whatever happened there yeah, he wasn't as good... but he's kicking ass again. Topped off with some studios putting out some good gonzo again and maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing a lot of new great young talent... and Mark's back to breaking them in early on it seems. Some new standouts I'd say: - Remy Lacroix - Angels of Debauchery (DP!) Remy is on fire lately, I'd like to see them do a one on one, maybe anal, etc - Sharon Lee - Asian Anal Assault (amazing scene!) - Megan Piper - Dirty Schoolgirls Stories #3 (would love to see them do another, she's so cute) - Molly Bennett - Dirty Schoolgirls Stories #4 and Innocence of Youth #2 (yeah I wanna see them do more together haha) - Riley Reid - Innocence of Youth and Spinners, great girl! - Mae Olson - Pretty Dirty and Fresh Out of High School (her performances are a bit dry, but she's total jailbait and tiny... takes Mark pretty well! He does his magic and toys with her pretty well in Pretty Dirty, I'm sure she never felt things like that before) So yes I'd say Mark is really back in action lately and hopefully for good again for now. Check out these scenes if you haven't seen them!
His work on Jada Fire's pussy in Gaped Crusaders is awe-inspiring. That move he pulls where he pops out his cock and rubs the head vigorously against her clit is amazing!! Does anybody know any other movies where he pulls this move?
He is usually described as a "nice guy" in the interviews. He seems to know what he is talking about, he is just mad...

Check out what the crazies at pornwikileaks have to say about Hay. They have a whole crusade going on. Funny stuff.
Immigration banter aside (just not gonna comment on that stuff!), I have to say my respect for the guy has only gone up after reading all that. I've heard others bringing up these issues as well and agree with his thoughts that the girls, the talent, etc, should have more control over their work and everything. Easier said than done though... The new post about Vegas is interesting. I guess Vegas and LA are like two completely different planets? I keep wondering if people like Mark himself could start up their own little crew or something, maybe even crowdfunding would work for porn somehow. Did Julian do something similar later in his career? He went from contracts to big gonzo companies to his own low budget garage based stuff and was having fun with it from what I've heard. Now at this point websites/HD stuff are even more affordable and doable for the normal consumer, so I'd be all for Mark's own little studio with new nameless girls if it came to that lol... The Hay thing is hilarious considering him and Mark did a lot of scenes together throughout their NS/DS work.
Maybe Mark is unaware (I doubt it) but it's illegal to shoot porn in Vegas so any company considering to move their operations there would have to consider the repercussions if a DA out looking to make a name for him/herself decides to use them for target practice. There are only two States that make shooting porn legal. All the others tolerate or don't bother looking into it and I think the reason they allow it is because so few porn is shot in their State. That might change if porn companies decided to move all their business there.

^illegal to shoot in vegas? i could've sworn thats where brazzers shoots, seeing as how every time a chick says on twitter she's shooting for brazzers there headed to vegas
^I never said that porn isn't shot in Vegas but that it's illegal to do so. I know that porn is shot in many different States and none of the studios that shoot in those States have ever been prosecuted but it's still only legal to shoot porn in New Hampshire and California. Since porn is still primarily shot in california and most studios are located in that State then there is nothing wrong but that could change if many studios were planning to relocate to Nevada. Then again it might not but I certainly don't want to be the studio that gets prosecuted. Even if you win your case. You will still lose millions of dollars in legal fees and suffer the stress associated with no knowing whether you are going to jail or not.
What's up with Mark Ashley? I guess he's called it quits for good. Haven't scene any new work from him of late and even his blog has been dormant for almost a year. I think I saw somewhere on the web where his contemporary, Julian Rios, was running a warehouse somewhere - basically out all together. Could it be that Mark also decided to move on? Guy should be an AVN HOF inductee as soon as he is eligible.New Hampshire??? "Live Free or Die", I guess... Enjoy the winter up there - should keep the nipples hard.
You know, I agree...but, then again... The guy is about to turn 45. How long would he be "viable" hooking up with 20 year old girls? In their prime, these two were among the all-time greats and the porn chicks loved fucking them. I hear your comment about the new male talent, although there is still Mick Blue (he is getting up there a bit, as well). I also think Jordan Ash is pretty good. Apparently, Tanner Mayes loved his dick (PornPros scene). As for Julian and Mark, I know I've said it before: You just can't out-fuck Father Time.

Peter North is still going and he's significantly older than Mark. Last time I saw Mark he wasn't having any wood problems. Anyway... did he put out the official word that he retired?
He put out some amazing scenes with Molly Bennett, Remy LaCroix, Megan Piper, Riley Reid, etc towards the end there... Damn somebody tell him to come back haha.
^ I hope he is back. He is in my humble opinion one of the better performers and he basically knows the scenes are about the ladies performing. Some guys seem to think they are the focus of the attention and at least for me they aren't.
Mark Ashley is a living legend by any means having done so many fiery scenes that if let's say he was Usain Bolt the 100meter record would've been 9,00. This is because he went all the way head on where as Bolt started slowing off before climaxing.
Without a doubt Mark Ashley is one of my favorite male performers of all time. His scenes with Rebeca Linares were always electric. Last thing I saw him in was Spinners with Gia DiMarco. I asked Darkko a little while back if knew what was going with Ashley. He said he had no idea. A comeback would be nice.
^ He's back at work, but not near the routine he used to have. He's been blackballed by the porn execs after him speaking out about the 'wrongdoings' of the industry. His work has been limited to a handful of scenes with naughty america.
Oh nice, the Dakota scene is amazing. That's pretty shitty though. Couldn't he maybe do his own website like Julian did with Mr Big Dick Hot Chicks awhile back? What's Jonni Darkko do thesedays? He always used Mark a lot. Needs to fuck Kiera Winters and Ariana Marie. Edited by - EchelonV on 12/7/2014 2:45:23 PM
that scene is really not so great because he had some erection problems, but everyone can have a bad day. his speciality were hard anal poundings, too bad only few studios and directors are left shooting that. i also would like to see him in one of jonni darkko's movies.
