Quote: I like Holly but I agree with every word that Kaiser Sauze wrote. I experience this conflict as a battle between my values (with Kaiser) vs my feelings (with Holly).
I don't explicate on my beliefs on this with Holly or any porner because it would be pointless. Yes, the Bible says you should reprove people if they are doing wrong, but only if they will listen to you. "Reprove a wise man and he will love you. Don't reprove a fool for he will hate you."
I would not want anyone I cared about performing in porn films, but for many years I have financially profited from their self-destruction through banner ads on my sites.
Here is what Allan MacDonnell (he was the Editor of Hustler magazine and worked for LFP's editorial side for about 20 years) writes in his new memoir Prisoner of X:
"All the skin photographers I met reinforced the prejudice that theirs, more than any other, is a craft of deception. The girls are fooled into believing they are receiving free money. The viewer is duped into believing the photographer has captured the girl in a moment of ecstasy. One photo shoot visit too many ruins the illusions. Afterward, you look at a "nude glamor" shot, and you see a strained expression held for the duration of a camera click. If you are not careful, your cynicism penetrates beyond the illusions of hte photo layouts, and nothing in real life seems authentic anymore."
I hate to be mean but there is such a gargantuan difference in the quality of the writing between those defending Holly and Kaiser Sauze. One guy spells and punctuates correctly and writes clearly (showing he thinks clearly). I like Cassandra and Da Burglar and I don't want to lose their good will, but I would not want them defending me in such slipshod writing. Holly is a grammar and spelling snob. I adore that about her. I know she loves the defense of her, but she must be appalled at the abuse of the English language (DB, Cassandra, you know there's nothing personal in my point).
