Just read this on lukeisback. Pretty interesting, i feel for fayner, he just needs someone to tell him its okay, tuck him in at night and give him a kiss on the forehead. You get a brief insight to what i think was the ending of his relationship with taylor (besides me of course). No matter how strong you are as a man, i don't think anyone is ever comfortable knowing their women is banging dudes, work or not. Turns out his dad was a hebrew school teacher / drug smuggler. Here's the interview, enjoy.



Scott Fayner Interview

Waking up just before 5 pm Friday, Scott Fayner from lukeford.com calls me.

I'd emailed him earlier in the day for an interview.

"I go to bed at noon. I stay up real late.

"I [usually] wake up around 4 PM I yell at my dog and then I walk my dog. Then I always eat something, because that's important. I'm really into Applejacks right now. I drink Mountain Dew and I eat potato chips. Then I go buy drugs and it all starts."

Which types of drugs do you like?

"Stimulants. I spend about $400 a week on them. I like coke, alcohol and weed. Speed is the worst. It's poison. It messes with people bad. Have you ever seen a girl on tweak? Their skin is yellow and they have no idea what is going on. You can easily maintain of normality and healthiness with cocaine if you do the proper things like eating and sleeping and drinking water. It's hard with speed because you can't sleep. You're running around and your jaw is going crazy. Speed always made me sporadic and crazy. If anyone thinks that my writing makes no sense now and is all over the place and weird, it is much worse when I'm on speed."

When did you last take speed?

"Nine years ago. I used to smoke it. I snort cocaine."

What has that done to your nose?

"Ruined it."

I'm remove most of the profanity from Fayner's speech to keep this interview more family-friendly. Someone has to think of the children.

"I looked it up on the Internet. If you blast two eight-balls a day for three years straight, it will put a hole in your nose. That's almost impossible to do. It always hurts in the morning, when I wake up. I would rather be kicked in the balls then punched in the nose."

What's the longest period you've gone as an adult without drugs?

"Three years. From November 1997 to November 2000.

"I quit because I was in Boston and way out of control. My roommate called my mother [who dated the protagonist of the movie Blow]. She was living in Florida. She showed up at our place. Then I went to rehab and stayed clean for three years. I was always smoking pot, but I don't even consider that a drug. That just keeps me normal.

"Then I moved to LA in 2000. I like drugs. I hate writing. I hate being so honest. People say I should be able to do what I am doing straight but it's a major chore writing the way that I do. It's more tolerable when I'm high. I can get through it.

"I'd much rather not be on drugs. But this world isn't exciting enough. If it was, there wouldn't be drugs and nobody would need them."

How would you compare life on drugs to off drugs?

"I pay a lot less attention to things when I'm straight. I'm less interested. Obviously, I'm a lot more healthy. I look better. Cocaine is all about learning things from other people. People really open up when they're on cocaine. They like to talk. They tell you things they might not tell you otherwise. As a writer, as a person who observes things for a living, you get a lot more honesty from people if they're high. Later on, they might regret it.

"Being straight has a lot more advantages in this world. I don't know about the porn world. I've gotten pretty far in this business in four years with my little white partner in crime."

How did you get into this business?

"I sent my resume to Allan MacDonnell [then editor of Hustler magazine]. I worked as Mike Albo's assistant for a year. Then I got promoted to the editor of Hustler.com. I was writing for Hustler. I did that article where I tested Jewel DeNyle's pussy mold and her.

"Then Allan got fired. Bruce [David] took over. I like Bruce but Allan pushed me a lot. I'd hand him in stuff and I'd have to redo it. With Bruce, not as much.

"Then the thing [writing] for Lukeford.com came up. They offered it to me [in March of 2003]. [At LFP] I had to be at work at 9am. They expect me to work. With writing, you can't tell me when to write. If it's in me in the middle of the night, that's how I am.

"Most people would say, oh great. You've got a job where you sleep at your desk and walk around all day. I decided I could make the same money staying at home and working from home.

"This Lukeford.com thing is so many hits. I bought Lukeford.com in April 2004.

"Your old boss Lensman was going to buy it, trash Lukeford.com, and send the traffic to adultbeat.com. I decided it was wrong if Lukeford.com was gone, so I bought it. ScottFayner.com is taken by some scoundrel.

"I hear from people -- 'oh, you're riding on Luke's back.' I did the right thing. It was years ago that [Luke] had it [August 8, 2001]. A lot of people have written for it -- Wanker Wang, Martin Brimmer... Nobody gave Wanker s--- for writing for it, but everyone gives me s---. People love to hate me."

Does doing drugs help you to get closer to some of your sources?

"Oh yeah. It's a great tool for things like that. It's not about having money and power anymore with girls. It's about having a bag of white powder in your pocket. I never write about anybody doing coke except for myself. I've done coke with everybody in this business, except for you."

What have been some of the keys to your success in the industry?

"I'm honest and fair and I respect people's wishes. Same thing as with you. People say, 'Luke wrote ---- about me.' But who told him? You told him, and then afterwards felt stupid about it when he posted it.

"I think I'm a nice guy. I like to party. Everyone likes to party. I wear the same costumes as everybody else. I hope that one day somebody comes in and challenges me for my job so that I can move on."

What would you like to move on to?

"I'm writing a book about my life. It sucks. It's really hard. It's about strange weird things that have happened to me. It has no structure yet. I have a hundred pages. I went on two two-day writing frenzies of 45 pages each.

"None of it is positive stuff. It's about my weird encounters where guys try to rape me and I slip through the backdoor before I get my ass pounded. All that stuff that a mommy wants his son to write a book about."

How long have you been using drugs?

"I grew up in Newton, Massachusetts. I started smoking pot at nine. Everyone in my neighborhood was older and most kids in this country in junior high start smoking pot. Now everyone's doing speed in high school.

"I took acid at 12. Mushrooms. I never tried cocaine until college [University of Hartford in Connecticut, where he graduated in 1994 with a BA in print journalism. Then he went to grad school at Emerson College in Boston and quit.]

"My parents were hippies. After my parents split up, my dad moved to Texas. He used to run qualudes from Mexico to Texas. My dad smuggled weed in my diaper from Canada to Massachusetts.

"My mother owns some high-end furniture stores in Boston."

You had a middle-class upbringing?

"Yes. I have an older sister. She works for the mayor of Boston."

What does your family think about what you do?

"My whole family is really proud. It's almost impossible to make a living as a writer. And I've been doing it. And not just in one place. And I'm working on other things.

"At times, my mother wishes that I would move on. But I'm not going to work for Time magazine. It's not my thing."

What were you doing between 1994 - 2000?

"I chased a girl to Los Angeles in 1995. That's when I got hooked on speed. I stayed for six months and then left. I went back to Boston. I was working in nightclubs -- bartending and bar-backing. The little Colombian guys who took out the trash were all coke dealers.

"In 1997, I went to rehab. After that, I got my dog. My dog got kidnapped. I got her back. I moved to Nantucket Island. I was doing manual labor -- mowing lawns, working at a lumber yard. I worked at an animal hospital.

"I wrote for some newspapers and magazines in Boston. I went through my tortured poetry phase. I've got cases of bad poetry.

"In January 2000, I packed and drove to LA."

What's your Judaism background?

"I was bar mitzvahed. My dad was always more religious than my mom. He grew up in Israel. My dad is a Hebrew school teacher in San Francisco."

Have you had substitute father figures in porn?

"Allan was. I respected him. He's a great writer. He was dedicated to that magazine.

"I've never had a father so I was never really looking for one. I get along with my dad now but I grew up without a dad. He was banging girls three years older than me in high school, so how do you call somebody like that your father?"

Who was your first porn chick?

"The first one that I got head from was Taylor Wane during an interview at Hustler. Mike Albo's car broke down and he made me interview her. She blew me in his office. I think he got upset.

"She told me to play with myself. I was like, '---- you. You do it.' She came over and blew me."

Was it good?

"It's always good."

What was it like working for Mike Albo?

"I love Albo. He used to talk about the mandolin and bluegrass music. I could listen for hours. After I worked for him, there were two girls who worked for him. They weren't interested in ---- like that. I'd walk by and he'd be talking about that stuff. I would look at the girls and I'd feel bad for them.

"I learned a helluva lot from that guy. I was writing for his magazine every month. I have nothing bad to say about the guy at all, except for once he lost his Zippo [lighter] in his truck right behind his seat. I went down into the parking lot at Hustler with him. He wanted me to reach around and look for it. There were piles of trash. Are you kidding me?

"I said, I can't do this. I don't work for you anymore.

"Mike's a great writer."

Much of the industry hated him.

"Yeah. He told it how it was. I kinda took his attitude but not as harsh. If you piss somebody off, it is usually because you are telling the truth."

Which of your writings are you most proud of?

"I'm not really proud of the Lukeford stuff. It's all middle-of-the-night. I write it and I don't read it over. I'll read it over if I wake up the next day and there are a ton of emails of people calling me a racist, I'll think, oh G-d, what did I write?

"I love the story where Taylor Rain and I ran from the cops.

"Taylor lives upstairs from me. She's moving in a week.

"Lukeford.com isn't changing the world. There's not a lot of substance there. I'm not a reporter and I never claimed to be. I don't even have a tape recorder. It's more about the moment. I can make up the quotes. I have a good memory. The way people say things is often more valuable than what they say.

"Writing sucks. It's always good to challenge yourself in new ways. In the new Hustler piece I wrote, I wrote it in the present tense, which I never do.

"I'll keep hitting a nail over-and-over again because it pisses people off. I'm so not a racist but I feel strongly about all of my opinions. I catch all this s--- from black people for saying the word nigger. If you use it, I can use it. Call me a kike. I don't care. I don't take offense to that.

"It's never me saying the word nigger. It's someone like Paris Hilton saying nigger. I'm not going to say n*****. White America is way into black culture. It makes total sense to use the word nigger."

Which porn girls have you had a relationship with aside from Taylor Rain?

"I've slept with a bunch. When your values and your education and your way of thinking and your work ethic is not the same, it's hard to hang out with one. They're all nice and sweet but whether they are relationship material, I'll argue that all day."

Do you think porn girls make for good wives?

"No. No matter what anyone tells you, or what I used to say all the time, I'm totally cool if my girl is banging someone else and coming home to me, it's just work. But it's just not true. If you have any pride in yourself, there's no way you want to be letting your girl do that ----. It's more like I'm a loser for not taking care of my girl and she has to go bang other guys for money. That sucks. It's hard to go through life like that. If you love a girl and you're letting her do this, it's because you can't take care of her properly.

"A lot of these girls don't want it any other way."

Why do girls do porn?

"A lot of people think it is out of laziness or desperation or being tricked into it.

"It's certainly not a noble career. There was a moment that they had a choice and they chose porn. It probably wasn't the right decision. They were making somebody else money, not themselves. They're all getting screwed.

"There are a lot of these girls who have ruined their relationships with their parents and their friends over this."

I thought many things, but one thing I will say, and that is.. this is a great interview.

What a whiney junky. It'll be a good feeling knowing this guy is going to be a down and out bum collecting cans in a couple of years.

Read a book? Travel? Education? Help others if you can't help yourself?

If he's not going to be a bum I'll bet he slits his wrists in a cheap motel bathtub. Good interview but his views are the same as any worthless junky. Only thing that makes him a step above the rest or moderately interesting is that he writes about the porn industry. If not for that he would be nothing.

Jesus christ... if thats real its sad. I mean shit.. i have a pathetic life.. i hate people so much i wont leave my house cept to goto work.. but i can always look at this post and feel 100x better bout myself..

P.S. i think i see why he gets ragged on 24/7 here now...

i usually don't have a high valuation of the ability of most people to make smart decisions but fayner's been thrown in the "not particuarly talented" bin with such regularity that i'll have to give some credence to general will here. "boo-hoo, I'm talented amidst this degradation" claims work better when there is SOME evidence of people thinking something you did was better than mediocre at some point tracing back to finger-paintings you did in 8th grade. admissions commitees worldwide hate this guy more than the simpsons writers-you pay real college cash at both places(well, mostly really dumb foreigners and westchester kids who want to be in the same city as their friends with average intelligence) but you're definetly not ensured avoidance of a blue-collar future.

the emerson one is hilarious, they're really a school for radio and broadcasting--that'd be like arab deciding to go for a JD at Juilliard. that school is stagant water designed to breed FM radio dudes like wankus, I had no idea you could even get something unrelated to overbearing drivetime hosting from them. No wonder he's bitter about the whole black people deal....

I know a guy who went to Emerson and he said it was not a challenge. But he said that it has a lot of cachet in the radio biz and that people in the music industry liked the fact that he had gone there. For the life of me I can't comprehend what a communications major even is.

yeah, i know it's one of the better places if you want to do radio, but had no idea it even had postgrad stuff, let alone in stuff not related to broadcast. it's billed as a college not u. and i'd kinda think it's as useful as an MD from the cordon blue---for print journalism outside of columbia there's almost nothing.

hey, french food is some of the only stuff i'll pay extortionary prices for, i'd probably trust someone from cordon or aic to operate on me versus some dude who had to go to mexico for med school, you figure anyone who can cut chickens apart, pepin-style, then reassemble the things can't be that bad with a scalpel.

Fayner is jewish, lets just get that out of the way right now. I do think he is delusional in terms of how serve his drug use is, he claims to be able to control it but when you are spending $400 a week on them and taking them be yourself, then i hate to be the one to tell you this but your a junkie, and being honest without the use of drugs isn't that hard, look at the real luke ford. Its just like substituting the giddiness of drugs with the lows of deep depression, like the real, Luke. BUT at least it won't kill you, well that is unless you try to stick your head in an oven, look bad example. Just quit drugs okay?.


P.S jamesn= Tom Waits??.

THIS IS A REAL INTERVIEW.

im no junkie, though, for those judging me as one. Im just being honest about my life. try it some day and you might find some of the realities less than perfect.

sweet dreams.

Fuck it. I just said a bunch of namby pamby bullshit. Edit! I like to be more lighthearted than this on this board.

Fayner, you can't get angry everytime someone says something stupid about drugs or their use. If you do, you could have a heart attack simply from reading this thread.

Take care of yourself Fayner.

Now, someone please post some whore's anus and feet pics please.

Fayner let me ask you this and you don't have to answer it to the board but more to yourself. Your dead broke, don't have a penny, you begin to sweat, your hands shake and your stomach churns, you are at a train station, you just need something to hold you over, but you need the money, would you blow a guy for a hit?. If the answer is yes your a junkie and if you even find yourself asking yourself this question your a junkie. Its all good, i just want you cleaned up and out of swami's mother's basement by tuesday.

(jesus juice)

Fayner is cool.

John Garfield isn't gay

Sammura is pretty

(jesus juice)

Cool.

I just had a post deleted.

That says a lot about the self confidence of the moderators at xpt.

I'm only posting this in The Monkey Cage because I know it's the last bastion of free expression left

It was probably Gen, sounds like something she would do then deny later.

see you're doing it again, trying to get my guard down then when i do you launch your little 3 foot 4 frame across the room like chucky in child's play, aiming for the throat.

WOW Monkey, you seriously think that?! Well fuck by all means let your guard down. I think that would be some great childs play! What do you think? Come on, there's nothing to lose!! haha

You guys laugh, but this interview gives Arab a . Scott reminds me a lot of myself, if you take away the education, ambition, and self-respect.

Okay, so it is funny. But you guys are missing the best part. "No, I'm not copying Luke just because I write on a website called lukeford.com... Oh, and I'm writing an autobiography, just like, um... Luke."

FAYNER, writing an autobiography? Holy shit, that's good stuff. What a vapid, self-important wreck that will be. It oughta be the best page-turner since the Memoir of Peter Fonda came out:

"Tuesday, August 5th, 1979. Woke up around 4:00 pm. Went over to Jane's to bum some money. She wasn't home, raided her fridge. Smoked a J and sucked on a suppository I found in her bathroom, but the fucking thing wasn't an opiad. Fucking pigs."

No, seriously, I can't wait to read about the time he had a beer with Slash and Izzy from GNR or had a manperv covered in sores try to dry hump him. Yes, Scott, writing's hard work. When the apex of your career was Hustler, I can see why it seems that way.

i gotta give fayner credit for total shamelessness in posting his black people need to press on in life and improve their attitude yet can keep a straight face when pulling the "life's such a struggle, cut me some slack for my faults and apathy" defense here, duplicitoius douchebag. n

"duplicitoius douchebag"

I asked my mom, but she said Look it up, hypocrite tampon bucket.

I'm hurt.

bump

scott fayner is unfortunately the type of person that runs ruffshod over the porn landscape. you run into a lot of people in this business that do not have the fortitutde to be human beings, and I mean just healthy human beings. so they get in the biz, however sideways they sneak in (sort of like snakes uh...). they take advantage of people who don't know no better and can't amass the strength to defend themselves. you could say that that's how he operates. and without people like this, porn, as we know it,would cease to exits.

Fayner brings out the ultimate maternal instinct in me-- I just want to make him chicken soup and stroke his hair until he falls asleep.

figures, birds of a feather. wounded animals seek like company huh?

awesome thread

fayner's mom sells the most-tasteless furniture in greater boston and preys upon yentas. bump.

Who the gives a flying fuck about Scott Fayner???????????????????????????? Im wondering this, because all you people are so intrested in this piece of motherfucking shit!!! WOW...He married Taylor"fucking whore"Rain...BIG FUCKING DEAL...Anyone can do that..she's a fucking piece of meat!! WHO CARES IF this fuck has a drug problem..HOPEFULLY HE SNORTS THE WRONG MIXTURE and fucking dies...THEN AND ONLY THEN will we have something to talk about regarding Scott Fayner..You fucking people need to post some real shit..and not this CRY ME A RIVER BULLSHIT about a guy that soon will die hopefully!!!!!
Scott Fayner & TMFR
