Buttman and Milk Nymphos

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

I met the legendary Buttman himself, John Stagliano today at the Evil Angel headquarters.  At the end of the day they buttman_vol_7_No_2had a cupcakes for all the August birthdays and all the employees were summoned for cupcakes.  So Evil!  I was tempted to say that I am in fact an August birthday but I thought maybe they’d already counted out the cupcakes and then someone would have to split one with me and it’d be awkward.  In any case, like everyone we’ve met so far everyone was incredibly nice.  John has an office with as you might imagine lots of images of butts.  Butts galore.  I also didn’t mention that I grew up outside of D.C. because it so happens that the District of Columbia is prosecuting him for obscenity for distributing his films “Milk Nymphos” and “Storm Squirters 2:  Target Practice.” You can imagine.  If it does go to trial he promised to bring in a squadron of women with water guns (one side with milk, natch) and have a squirt off in the courtroom.  Call me reckless, but doesn’t the government have bigger problems than worrying abou the Milk Nymphos? And this in my hometown where our former mayor smoked crack with whores.  Oh well.  If you’d like to know more about John’s case go to Defend Our Porn

Free Speech Coalition Party

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

So on our first day (last week I’m a bit behind) we met with the fabulous, charming and delightful Diane Duke of the Free Speech Coalition which is essentially the trade organization for adult entertainment. They’re not huge – a modest office in the Valley. But they do a lot to advocate for the people in the industry and to help defend companies from obscenity prosecutions.  I think (tell me if I’m wrong) that most Americans are unaware that pornographers can still be prosecuted for making something that other people think is obscene.  Max Hardcore is in prison right now for making a movie. His movies sound seriously disgusting and I’d personally never want to see one, but it’s a movie after all.  Diane had some interesting things to say about how even if there is some physical risk happening on a porn shoot – think about professional football, or hockey…

So then on Wednesday we attended their benefit (only $15 far cheaper than your average non-profit benefit).  It was held at the Whiskey A Go Go and for me the highlight was meeting Nina Hartley for a brief chat.  Interviewing her more later.  She said “filming people having sex is far more ridiculous and far less sinister than people imagine.”  Sasha Grey was also there judging a “Screaming Orgasm” contest where amateur women pretend to have orgasms… strangely none of them made any noise.  The poor MC kept saying things like “It’s called the SCREAMING orgasm contest.  Let’s hear you SCREAM.” And the ladies pretended to have sex with their boyfriends (fully closed) and maybe they were screaming on the inside… I guess the sexual revolution isn’t over yet and people are still a bit shy.  We all got lovely giftbags (had to cross the street to go the Hustler store to get them).  I got a vibrating cock ring “for her pleasure.” Hmm….
