Is it sexual exploitation in general, of any stripe? ...because that makes most of what is routinely seen in our culture, especially on/from TV, subject to such classification.

Or is it, by your views, only sexual exploitation of a specific degree?...because it seems that if you're arguing degree's, well, what's the point?

Look at it this way, in principle, there isn't exactly a great deal of difference between an eighteen-yr old woman who chooses to be sodomized in Monster Cock Ass Slammers, and an eighteen-yr old woman who chooses to bump, grind and shake her ass as a sports cheerleader: both activities are grounded in sexually charged intention/result, and neither automatically makes a "pig" out of the women who participate. It's all subjective.

One stirs up the testosterone and ensures movie/rentals/sales, the other is specifically intended to whip the testosterone levels up to a frenzy during an event where the 'gladiator mentality' is publicly exhaulted, with the message being: the reward for the "winners" is an encouraged, accepted prostration of female sexuality to the gladiator (which, oddly, is largely seen as taboo in and of itself, yet, remains quite prominent throughout the entire culture despite obvious, deep seated denials)reinforcing the societal stereotype of Nice Guys Finish Last.

Perhaps a lot of porn that is intentionally "derogatory" is so because it's a retaliation of sorts against commonly held belief systems which explicitly excludes women from desiring the sex acts found in "derogatory" porn.

We really have created this very limited scope of sexuality; a highly unrealistic and euphemistic take on what's considered acceptable or otherwise. That's why so many porn titles intentionally use 'offensive' and blunt words/descriptions: to break through the societal indoctrination of 'sexual correctness' and cognitive dissonance.

It reminds me of a post I responded to in another thread where someone cited soap opera's as being more unhealthy than porn; I agree. When comparing the two, it's clear that one focuses on mental games and mind fucking as the backdrop to what's largely considered normal life, 'reality.' You can find scores of women who, by and large, conduct their relationships by the tenets of this type of TV un reality.

The other strictly focuses on physical sex and flesh, providing a counterbalance to prevailing sexual politics and doctrines. Niether medium proves anything other than a great deal of communication breakdown, misdirection and repression. That is, many people think it has to be all good or bad, or just one or the other.
The key difference is that for a long time, the soap opera market, the mindset that 'sells'(which extends to other Tv shows, movies, top 40 music, cookie cutter crap)was far reaching over porn in its influence/reinforcement of relationship/sexual ideals.
But now porn is everywhere. Studies are done that show young and older women watch a lot of porn. In part, a good indicator of that is how sexual activities like oral, anal, bisexuality, group sex, male stripper clubs/parties, "Girls Gone Wild,"... are all commonly practiced and accepted by many young women today. It doesn't mean that either soap opera's or porn are necessarily escapist forms of entertianment people should emulate, but like everything else, it does work that way more so than people care to admit since these ideals and images stem directly from us, the collective conscious/unconscious.

And as a fan I gotta say I'd still do Ms. Bardoux. Shame you're only working for yourself. Devils Films' MILF POV and Mother Fucker lines seem custom-made for you now. It would've been great to see you in one of'em.

Or is the least bit of subtlety detrimental to the bottom line? [/wishing there was a smiley for disappointment with the marketplace]

INTENSITIES IN 10 CITIES isn't the most profitable series I do, but I love going to different places and meeting new people. It will continue...and volume 3 will be wrapping up very soon. It's a mixture of some exotic locales like Madrid with some cities closer to home like Seattle. Hope you like it!

BAKER'S DOZEN was a series I wanted to do at Red Light District, but I waited until I was at Platinum to give myself the green light. It's simple, but it has found it's audience. The demand for massive facials is pretty big.

A GOOD SOURCE OF IRON is my pet project because it marked the first time I just followed my gut and put a loss leader out (one that loses money out the door)....at a time when I could not afford to lose. The first year in business is tough for anyone, but none more so than adult video. It took time to catch on, but it's my favorite series to shoot. I have always been a big fan of DOWN THE HATCH, so it was just my interpretation on the swallowing thing.

TEN LITTLE PIGGIES, like AGSOI, is not the most profitable, but there is a real dearth of quality foot stuff out there. I didn't find what I was looking for so I just produced a line that I would rent as a fan. It's catching on slowly, but I am in no rush. 5 volumes are out, but it's only the beginning.

Anyways, I bullshit too much. It's just cool to read feedback from people who appreciate what you are trying to do. Thanks!

Ha ha ... it can be a BJ/popshot/swallow series PLUS asslicking (ewwwww).

If you don't like the movies that way, buy a feature!
