New to the industry - sort of...

Hello
My name is Frank and I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Communications. I've decided to base my doctoral thesis on the inner workings of the adult entertainment industry.
I was wondering if you knowledgeable folks would mind if I asked a few questions to gain some insight about the industry, what it is that you all do, and how you go about doing it.
Would any of you be willing to share your knowledge?
Thanks in advance
Frank

Doing your thesis on the inner workings of the adult industry is so 1998. Hey, who's got that picture of the herd?

Frank, you should really talk to a guy named Darth. He's the ultimate Industry Insider. What he doesn't know about porn hasn't been invented yet, or else will get you twenty years in Leavenworth.
Good Luck

What you want to do is PM the guy in the Hello Kitty Star Wars costume. His name's Darth and he's a very knowledgeable industry insider. Porn Valley would collapse without his omnipresence. He'll help you with your homework.

I'm afraid you were misinformed about this board, my good fellow. You'll find no real industry insiders here, just poorly adjusted wanna-bes who spend all their time snarking at each other or bashing Kurt Lockwood. The closest you'll come to any actual industry info here is reading the frequent reposts from Luke Ford's website. You need to head over to ADT, where the real insiders post.
Hard to dispute. Except the last bit about ADT. Insiders may well post there, but they almost never post any worthwhile (i.e., scandalous) insider information. Which is what people 'round these parts want to know about, but don't. They mainly know about emoticons.

Wow... thanks for the replys!
How do I get in touch with this Darth? Is he on this board?
In the meantime, can I ask how you all got into the business?
I mean was it all just for the money or sex? Or were there other reasons?

His real name is Gary Garver, he makes a "living" as a reporter for Howard Stern. Except Howard despises him. Wouldn't worry about it.

Here's a LINK to Darth's profile. You can send him a Private Message from there. But to be honest, I'd like to see you guys discuss this on the board. This should be fascinating.

This is true. Neither Jeff, Gia, Malice, Deep Throat, VoDGuy, Holly, me and a shit load of other posters have a clue about the adult industry. SpongeBub is right. Please go to ADT and ask them to assist you.
And XXXbit, your HS students "right" do they? Own up. You teach phys ed don't you?

Stevie Why - great question. Actually I am exploring persuasive/communicative affectations toward female respondants - ie. many women are "talked" into the adult entertainment field. I am exploring the various communication methodologies employed to accomplish the desired result.
Conky - thank you. I will head over to the other board.
Thank you everyone for your time.
