as far as 'gonzo porn' - in the truest sense it's porn where the person shooting it is part of the scene - John Stagliano aka Buttman is the father of 'gonzo porn'
- he did almost genuine gonzo - almost. What people call gonzo porn today is any porn where there is no storyline or written dialogue - just real people having hardcore sex.
