If, however, you happen to enjoy — again, alone or with another, or others — movies that include a potentially graphic sexual component as a part of the story-telling process, all the Internet has done has been to change the process of delivery of this material to your location. Despite what you’d have to conclude many, many adult company owners believe, all types of people watch porn for a myriad of reasons, not the least of which being as an enhancement to their own sexual experiences — yes, even as a couple. In our very own office you can see a collection of carved “Erotic Art” that supposedly dates back a few hundred years. We did not invent sex, y’all. We did not even invent an interest in it. Technology has made it so that we no longer have to carve dirty pictures on cave walls with sharp rocks, but try not to mistake the topic with the delivery method. Even at the dawning of time some caves enjoyed more popularity than others because of bodacious babes pictured there.
We like stars. More importantly, we need stars in order fill a distinct need for fantasy we all possess. (Honestly, I’d rather fantasize about wild sex with Juli Ashton than dodging bullets and bombs while saving the world, but, hey, that’s just me.) If for a time we find ourselves short of stars, then Society will create them. Just because the Internet has done a number on the profit margins of many of the adult companies does not mean at all that we don’t need stars any more. A certain cross section of women and men will still choose to record their sexual escapades, and some of them will be “more popular” than others. You don’t have to understand the system — or even approve of its choices — in order to see that it exists.
Now being also fans of the “illustrations” on risqué, as many of you may likely be, you might have noticed Porn Legend Juli Ashton (of the aforementioned fantasy life) adorning these pages — in this case inspired by wildly talented photographer Richard Avery. A very large number of people took pictures of Juli over the years, but not many ever reached this emotional plane with her. Anyone can take pictures of people having sex and post them on the Internet, but it takes talent to bring something besides sex to the experience.
Over on the members’ side, we also put together what we consider to be an insightful peek into two women that certainly reached “heights” within the industry, even if more people still know Ron Jeremy. You can see the sincere affection between Holly Hollywood and Dee in these photographs, in fact, in addition to the more common (for lack of a better term) gynecological examination. Within these 50 simple pictures, you might be able to find a reason not to lament too early the demise of the adult movie business. No matter whether we brand sex as evil or set it up as an activity to celebrate, it remains an interaction between humans, and that will create an emotional response in us no matter what else it might inspire.
