And like a drug addiction, you can never return to the magic of those early days. It all used to seem so naughty - the cheap sets, the giggly, nervous whores, those ridiculous phone sex ads after every few scenes ("I want to suck your cock right through this phone!", "Hi. I'm Lexi. You don't want to know what I was just thinking, because it's so naughy!".

I dug some of those old tapes out the other day and it just wasn't the same. The interviews are all so cliche, the camera work spends 70% of the scene showing the guy lying on top of the talent, covering everything except her pussy, and most of the rest of the time with the dreaded ball-cam closeup. Cutaway to the girl's face or body for five seconds and then back to the guy's hairy back as he humps away.

10 years from now, I suppose it will be the same thing. "I remember when gag-fucking the girl's throat until she begged for mercy all seemed to be somehow naughty. These days, it takes a Snuff Bukakke to even get me hard."

Remember the girl who used to come on right at the beginning of the tape to talk about sex, porn, and masturbation? "The tape you are about to watch contains scenes simulating actual adult relationships...."
