Of all the porn chicks that have written abouot themselves or about the industry the only one I am continually impressed by is Aurora Snow
She wrote a piece for TheDailyBeast about how mainstream acceptance of porn is waning. read it, it’s good.
Something that caught my eye was a quote from XBiz’s Alec Helmy who said “There is this trend towards ghettoization of the industry,”
I have been saying for quite some time that the industry has gotten away from its core customer base and as such, has lost them, and at the time we needed them the most. The “Ghettoization” that Helmy speaks about isn’t something that mainstream has done to the porn industry, it’s something we have done to ourselves. Some where someone got the idea that the average porn viewing consumer wants to see gaping anuses and distended and prolapsed rectums, wrecked makeup, violent sex, abusive sex, choking girls out and the like.
Gone are the beautiful girls and erotic sex that marked the heyday of porn. If you really think about it does it surprize any of you that mainstream doesn’t wish to be associated with us? I know if I ran google the first thing I would do is punish tube sites and file lockers and torrent sites in the serps….all of them. Maybe that’s coming soon too.
I am not saying that there werent good porn sites buying adwords but was it really worth what it would cost google to weed those out vs just doing away with it? So sure you can go to Bing or whatever but dont be surprised when they become profitable and no longer need that revenue and they do the same thing.
Mainstream has always had a love affair with porn, it’s great for sweeps and lets face it most of your reality TV shows are soft porn as are soap operas, and over the years the line that divides acceptable from unacceptable has moved quite a bit…but I dnt think you will be seeing gaping anuses on TV anytime soon…except when politicians are running election ads….

I sure loved Aurora Snow. She was one of the best.
I miss the days of beautiful natural girl next door looking women making porn. Today its all fake bottle blonds with implants, tattoos and piercings. Hard scary looking women just in it for $$$ (or so it appears) and they do just enough porn to be famous so they can raise their escort rates to make top dollar.
If you need any more proof that the glam is gone from porn just check out the pics from the wet t-shirt contest at the AVN show in New Orleans a couple of months ago. Now that was one rough looking bunch.
Porn is nothing but promoting prostitution and that’s all it is.
Nasty, skanky, looking tramps and that’s all they got today.
The industry is in the fucking toilet and Rob Black is the
top turd in the tank.
Hell ! without the skanks to go out and escort this business would be
in the shitter more than it is now. The Talent agency all in the LATATA
would go under and Marc Spiegler would have to go on a South Beach
diet and do what Rob Black and Tommy Byron are doing, Collect Welfare and food Stamps and you know Marc Speigler has to eat at least 5 meals
a day. But any ways Mike South keep up the good work here and make up
another crazy and baffling story to make that nut in North Hollywood go
crazy some more. We all love it and so does Howard Levine and Steve and Marci Hirsch and John Stagliano loves hearing Rob bad mouth him.
It just makes John’s case even better when presented in front of the Jury.
Have a great Atlanta evening pimping and shooting.
SHALOM!
I wish Alec Helmy would invite Rob Black to the Xbiz shows.
I think a lot of nice people would love to see Rob for the last time.

I sure loved Aurora Snow ! She was one
of the best. Veronica Rodgiuez that South American
with her own company is who I am blowing my load
over these days. She’s a hottie and deserves some awards.
Aurora Snow was great. And Sasha Grey was awesome.
But Valentina Nappi is the future of porn. Love this girl.
It’s a great article.
Re Alex Helmy Comment about Mainstream backing off more and more in the last two years…along with banking and google dropping lucrative advertising income….
This seems more to do with the perception if not a reality that porn is still living underground when it comes to record keeping and revenue documentation. It’s cheaper for google to ditch a 350 million revenue stream than to get bagged or caught up in lots of litigation re advertising accounts.
In a way it might be good for porn that google is ditching their advertising since it means Google has less data to sell Governments about those accounts.
