Donny Loves Porn/Pornographers
From Donny's blog this past week:
I've only had a handful of models ever request that their photos be removed from the internet. I actually removed/delayed posting some on request.
Some of these same models (about half who asked to have photos removed), posed for me again in the future.
It makes me question Donny's skills at screening models, as well as his judgement in deciding to shoot amateurs in his home. If he succeeds in selling his house before it is foreclosed upon, I wonder what the future owners will think about scores of women (to hear Donny tell it) showing up on their doorstep crying. I wonder if Donny cares. I'm guessing that potential buyers are not being warned what to expect.
The friends of Donny can catch him speaking out against our industry at future events...enjoy your pancakes...

Porn Stories: A Crying Model Just Left My House
The porn stories series begins a little earlier than expected.
For the last half hour Belinda and I have been consoling a crying girl who showed up at our house this evening. She begged and pleaded for us to have her photos removed from the internet. Her life, in her own words, has "become a living hell".
She lost a good job because, according to her boss, she "has too much drama in her life right now". What is that supposed to mean? It means the boss grew weary of her co-workers talking about the "porn star" in their midst. She was made aware that her presence disrupted the company.
Her boyfriend will leave her if the photos can't be removed from the internet. He can't bear having friends teasing him about his "porn star" girlfriend exposing everything for all the world to see.
She told me, "I never thought anyone I knew would see these. There are thousands of websites out there. I just didn't think they'd be found."
She begged and pleaded to return the money she was paid in exchange for her photos being removed from the sites for which she'd posed. I had to let her know there is nothing I can do for her. There are hundreds of producers around the world, all of whom have models that change their minds and want to reverse their decision to work in the adult industry. The companies to whom we sell our content generally ignore all requests for removal.
Barely a week ago, this model found out she's pregnant. She cried as she explained her horror at the thought of her child being teased about having a mother who was involved in pornography.
She's been dealing with this for weeks, and finally showed up on my door because she doesn't know what else to do. The stress is overwhelming, and can't possibly be good for her developing baby.
Unfortunately, removing her photo and video content from the internet (if that were even possible - which it's not) would not end her problem. The people who have been circulating this material have undoubtedly saved it to their hard drives. They'll continue sharing it even if the content is pulled.
If, in the future, this model applies for a position that requires a morality clause be signed (a practice that is becoming more popular all the time, by the way) this girl will not qualify. I know this from experience, as another of my models lost a position due to such a clause. This girl's entire future was changed for the worst when she posed for us on June 26th, 2006.
This story is tame in comparison to those I'll share with you in the future. But this one is bad enough.
And let's call it as it is, folks: consumers of porn are not without blame. In a world that lives by the rules of supply and demand, the customer ultimately initiates the entire process. If there was no demand, I would never have produced content of this model. I would never have had the money to use to entice her. We all fuel this vehicle called pornography. We're all in it together.

Porn Stories: The Prelude
I believe in all of the freedoms granted to those who live in this great country. I believe those freedoms extend to everyone, not just those with whom I agree.
That being the case, I oppose legislating porn out of existence. That is not the right route to follow. Each time a company contacts me for an interview or to ask my opinions on porn, one of the first things I let them know is that I am against taking away the rights of pornographers.
I feel education is a better answer. We're not "in a battle" with pornographers, we're in a battle with ourselves. Those who wish to escape from some sort of attraction or addiction to pornography really need to look inwardly and stop blaming their problem on everyone else. Our problems and addictions will never be conquered if all we do is take away the temptations. I'd rather create a cure, not just treat the symptoms.
Much of the appeal of porn can be taken away be removing the mystery of porn. And thats what I intend to do with my life: educate others. My goal is to share some of the stories of porn production from my past, and in so doing I want to show men and women that the reality of pornography is not nearly as attractive as it's made out to be. Pornography is not glamorous. The fantasy portrayed on camera doesn't exist. There is an ugly human cost that is paid to bring this product to market.
In thinking of the best game plan to follow, my biggest problem is deciding how graphic to get with my writings. Many Christians seem to want to focus on pretty pictures. Too much muck and mire bothers them. But to show the true realities of life, sometimes the muck and mire needs to be shown.
I'm concerned with the fact that, while most of my readers are adults, I probably have a few who are under the age of 18. In this age of the internet they've probably seen it all anyway, but it is still of concern to me.
Despite my concerns, in the very near future I will start a series of stories on the realities of pornography. It may turn your stomach. In fact, I hope it does. Showing the truth behind the myth just might help those of you who wish to lose your attraction to porn. In the very least, it will further open your eyes and make you realize exactly what you support by consuming this product.
