It Was Extreme

Without a doubt, the new Porn Valley was the Wild, Wild West, where anything—anything—went, sexually speaking. A new breed of directors was arriving in the Valley, rechristening with names indicative of their darker tendencies. This was a group of men operating outside the rules of society proper, having found the ideal venue for their uncensored personal expression in the clandestine and cloistered pornography business. These men were playing hardcore games of pornographic one-upmanship, starring stunt sex acts in which they used porn stars like game pieces, hell-bent, it seemed, on uncovering how far human beings would go if pushed to their limit, curious to discover what the culture could stand if taken to its outer reaches. And it was extreme.
