As of this month I have officially been in porn for twenty years now and I got to thinking about the last twenty years and some of the moments that rated as TENS to me.
In no particular order:
My first AVN nomination (for my first video no less)
My first AVN Award win
Riding in the back seat of a car with Sana Fey from Philly to Atlantic City, Lenny Kravitz was on the radio the song was “Fly away” and Sana Fey and I were absolutely intoxicated with passion, to this day I believe the best off camera sex I ever had was with Sana Fey, something about us getting together just brought out a crazy intensity. I do miss her sometimes.
Speaking of cars
I’m with Lindsey Lovehands, it’s drizzling rain, my friend Al is driving and he has the Sat radio on a hair band rock station. Lindsey quickly disrobes in the back seat of the Mercedes sports car and climbs to the front seat and into my lap. She starts gyrating her nude and perfect body to Poison’s “Lay Your Body Down”. She takes my hands and places them on her thighs. I slide them up her perfect skin as she continues to gyrate to “And lay your body down on me, down on me, tonight.”
I’m not sure what exactly it was about it, but it was one of the most incredibly intense and erotic moments of my life. Maybe it was the throwback to high school days of sex in a car, I don’t know but her nude body in the passing lights combined with my hands softly and slowly roaming her flawless curves as she moved underneath them left me with a lump in my throat. One of those moments, where nothing else in the world exists.
Then there was the time Melissa Hill and I were sharing a room in Atlantic City Back when they still were doing the East Coast Video Show. Dirty Bob came by the room and started filming us as we were getting ready for some function that night. Now Melissa Hill was one of the few girls in porn who could seriously act. She picked up on something I said and decided to give Dirty Bob a show and for once in my life I wasn’t clueless, I picked up on her cue. We proceeded to ad-lib a perfect fight, complete with yelling and screaming and throwing stuff and foot stomping. Poor DB was speechless, It wasn’t a long fight, couple of minutes and she stomped to the window with tears in her eyes (she could do that) and proceeded to start laughing hysterically into the drapes and I started laughing and DB realized he had just witnessed a pretty damn good ad-libbed argument. We all got a good laugh out of that.
I remember in Tampa shooting Felicia Fox for the first time, her first scene ever with Tim Case and myself, and against all odds they became my best friends on earth, I was best man at their wedding and to this day I regard them as family.
On a lighter side I remember meeting Jesse Jane at an ad-hoc dinner that my friends and myself had gotten together at the seafood buffet at the Rio. Jesse had yet to be unveiled to the porn world, Jewn was there, so were Samantha and Adella and Jesse was in my lap and wearing my hat. I had her autograph it, it’s the first autograph she ever signed. she was so perfectly cute and adorable.
At the same dinner JimmyD pointed out how Jewn had cut a hole in the center of the prime rib he had gotten and that was all he ate, so here’s this hunk of meat on his plate with a perfect circle in the center of it. I guess ya had to be there…
Speaking of Jewn…We were at the Tampa Show and we were doing a personal appearance the DJ in the club announced that anyone who tipped the girl on stage five dollars would get some anal beads from Doc Johnson Novelties. I immediately went and tipped her, telling her it was from that guy over there in the corner (pointing to Jewn) when she came off stage and handed him his anal beads the look on his face was fucking priceless….
Cybernet Expo in new Orleans where Julie Rage and I met Julie Cooper who introduced me to Ron Whitney who invited me into his home and even put me on his crew. Ron Whitney went on to win Sundance and an Emmy. I have so many stories about Julie and some extremely famous people but I am sworn to secrecy on those….
If there’s one thing that might rate right at the top, the very pinnacle of the scale that would be my part in bringing down porn wikileaks last year and exposing the people involved. It was one of the more selfless things I have done in my life, I wasn’t even on PWLs radar, I wasn’t on the site, I had never tested at AIM. But because I love the business and I have a great affection for the people in it I felt it was my obligation to enjoin that fight and when we succeeded I decided that was my greatest moment in this business, I hadn’t done it alone, not by any stretch but I had resolve, as did so many others and together we did what The FSC, AVN, XBiz, Porn lawyers, Vivid, Wicked, Digital Playground, L.A Direct and AIM could not do COMBINED.
There are more but just sitting here writing this and reminiscing has been sweet…That’s a few of my moments that rate a 10 do you have any?

Congratulations Mike on your anniversary. Not too many people in this business have the ability to stay relevant after 20 years. From content to commentary, you continue to be the best. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to hang on to your coattails. Much continued success for another 20 + years.
Bob– The dinner where Jewn cut out the hole in the prime rib was definitely at the Rio. The slice of prime rib bore an uncanny resemblance to a map of the continental U.S. and we were trying to figure out what state Jewn ate. But Mikey’s right, you had to be there. Fun night!!!
Mike– I’m surprised you didn’t include the time, also in Vegas, when we all decided to stay in that old hotel in downtown (Binions?) and, the 2nd day we were there, swarms of Federal agents rushed in and raided it and shut it down and told us we all had to pack up and leave. As a kicked-out hotel guest, I was interviewed by a TV news crew.
Bob– Love the Melissa/South vid. South is SUCH a goober in that clip! Melissa, as always, stirs my loins like few others in the biz ever have or ever will.
I always loved melissa she was such a character
jimmyd email me bro….I need ya
Is she Pastor Melissa Scott or is that another former porn chick?
You could do a BJ flick featuring southern belles and hillbilly hicks and call it “Goober Gobblers.” You could put yourself in it, Mikey. Type-casting works well for porn.
