Death of a Woodsman


Jon Dough is dead: "'The exploitation of the male' in the adult business, porn star Nina Hartley told me, 'is very distinct, in that he must cut off his dick from his heart.' This wasn't as true in the days when the porn world was more of a community that sustained a certain collegiality and longer-term relationships. 'Now, it's much more assembly-line nature.' And those who can't shut their hearts and minds off, she said, get chewed up in the gears." --Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man
