They Shoot Porn Stars, Don't They?


I've been reading, looking at how people write about porn, the way they see/say it. Tom Junod: "I liked the guy. Then I went and saw him make a porno movie--saw him do things just because he could and saw him turn a woman's compliance into humiliation--and I wasn't sure I liked him so much anymore." Dave Gardetta: "On Sasha Grey's first X-rated film shoot, while having sex with an Italian porn star named Rocco Siffredi, Sasha angled her head toward Siffredi's face and said, 'Punch me in the stomach.' It was May 1 and Sasha--small boned, pale skinned, and brunet--had just turned 18." Some Old Me I Used to Be: "Five months later, the LAPD was back in the valley. Because on May 16, 2001, the LAPD decided to add 'American Bukkake' to its porn collection. If the department was developing a taste for extreme porn, then why not bukkake?" It's hard to know how to get it there. I want to push it, make it better, get it right. This is the last unanswered question.
