Mr. Benjamin writes—when he was 20 something—he made a living filming porn, for at least 5 yrs, his work had included “framing acts of public copulation.” He claims he pushed cameras, microphones “into dwellings that no machines should ever go.” And he admits to his addiction to being a paid sexual voyeur when he says—“I’ve been granted a front-row seat to scenes of STARTLING INTIMACY.” OK, is this guy for REAL? There’s no “REAL” intimacy in PORN! PLEASE! Everybody if their not “fucking” is standing around to finish—so they can get PAID—while some muscle bound douche-bag is checking himself out in a mirror somewhere.
He’d rather be making love too himself—then anyone else in the room—“so how is that intimacy?”
Is there some different definition of intimacy, which I don’t know about?
He claims that he gained “financial-stability” while making porn, even though he didn’t think very much about the “artistic quality of the XXX film’s that he helped produce.
Benjamin decided to call it quits after he had been in what he describes as a “sex-grind” […] even though he had the best intention’s when he entered the “SMUT-LEAGUES” […] he claim’s that most of the porn he helped to produce—was NOT [sex-positive] in character? Can someone please tell me—what the hell [sex-positive] is? Its only porn!
WOW! Talk about taking your job, and your life “WAY” too seriously—which many porn mopes do?
Some strippers do this too—yesterday, one girl said out loud […] I take my job very seriously […] she said this while she had her legs behind her head? I couldn’t help but laugh […] this attitude of “false-self-importance,” regarding stupid unimportant jobs—its too funny. I guess she didn’t realize, just how stupid she looked when she said that?
He goes on to tell us he shot Gonzo XXX films […], which are the type of scene he says—are harshly-lit, reek of musty valley basement, and wind-up being forgotten in less-than 15 minutes. Man! It’s not that serious […] if he wanted to win an Emmy–he should have done MAIN-STREAM-FILMS? STOP BITCHING! Oh, he also claims that the only thing that makes him different than the rest of the smut-directors in a “forgettable business,” is the fact that he shot almost as many “gay porn scenes” as he has hetero scenes.
And the gay community loves him for it […] shooting desperate men in need of the oh-mighty-dollar […] God, what a stand-up guy?
He say’s he’s Jewish, started in the porn biz at 23—wanting to fuck as many young-women as possible, like most guys whom get in the XXX industry do […] some do it to get as many hot guys as possible as well.
The women in porn never seemed to mind rolling-around in the hay—as a BAD way to pay the rent.
He believed that the only way that he’d be able to live out his sexual fantasies […] was too join the XXX industry, (and people wonder why sex scenes in the XXX industry are so boring? Could we get some directors/producers, and male talent whom have had a lot of “sexual-experiences” outside of the XXX industry?)
So this loser finally found himself a gig […] filming for a lucrative website, which he has failed to mention in this post—“I mean if he really shot porn, why didn’t he mention the site he worked for?”
He also claims that the moral differences between “straight” and “gay porn” are significant […] because of the orifices which received the “camera’s gaze” and that both types of porn where governed by different moral tenets. (Whatever that means?)
This asshole is claiming that his “TRUE-RESPONSIBILITY” as a director […] was to make sure the girls got “PUNISHED!” What? Really?
He wanted scenes that “STUCK-OUT” too make more money—so females that he called [HUMAN TARGETS] were “verbally-degraded” and “physically-humiliated.” Well if all of this is true […] than Thank God this asshole is no longer filming XXX porn shoots–because the XXX industry does not need Directors or producers like this in the biz.
For the most part even the roughest Directors and Producers tell the women whom are staring in the production, what type of film they will be filming and up till the shooting starts […] I’ve never seen “anyone” verbally or physically abused, unless that was part of the shoot—so a consensual shoot–where the woman “agreed upon” what was going to happen to them […] is not degrading—it only becomes “degrading” and “humiliating,” when the women do not know what is about to happen to them, and I have personally never heard of this type of thing happening.
A female performer can stop a shoot at any time, and does not have to finish if she couldn’t handle something that a Director, Producer or any male talent was doing too her. But most agents want their fee’s so […] most don’t send women, whom can’t handle the job to do those types of shoots—“unless they’re stupid and don’t like getting paid!”
Benjamin claims that he never had a contract to do these things to women […] but say’s it was a “contextual thing”—whatever the hell that means?
Or maybe he secretly loved doing his job?
His job as a producer was to keep-up with the competition […] what competition? Oh, wait he referred to the competition being “Anobolic,” which at that time was getting nasty? (Maybe this guy hasn’t been following porn news but Max Hardcore is in prison for this same type of bullshit—so many of the life destroying porn-companies have had too go “softer” in the last two years—or face the judicial system.) So his bosses at that time asked him too go nastier—with the excuse being, “we owe it to our viewers.”
His bosses said– “we have to give them what the want” […] meaning “degrading-scenes.” He’s referring to “Glory holes, Gang-Bangs, Facial Cum Shots […] he says: that his “bosses” required him to throw “these types of sex-acts” in every-scene, or he wouldn’t be paid…
And go figure “HOMEBOY” found-out that he loved being VIOLENT […] NO! REALLY? I can’t believe it—“can you?”
Even though it was his bosses whom ordered the filming of the scenes of “degradation” […] he willingly followed their orders, and loved every minute of it! Benjamin claims he was a coward whom lived with a “weak-kind-of-anger.”
He clung to the “temporary empowerment” that he received in degrading women for “exorbitant-fees,” which kept him making scene-after-scene.
He also says that he was “ordered” not to film men above the waist—if he could possible help it. He claims both men and women and tops and bottoms are humanly-marginalized in heterosexual porn because of this type of treatment […] the XXX industry is what it is—it could always be made too be better […] “how?”
He says: while men made up the majority of PORN’S AUDIENCE—some women watch heterosexual porn too—many women should be “outraged” about the way the XXX industry treats men! (I know I’d love to see more of the guys faces […] I never could figure out why the producers never let the audience see what some of these guys look like?)
I guess the MALE fantasy dominates heterosexual porn?
Maybe this dialog has more too do with the way that men […] really feel about their own sexuality–in the United States? Men get “bummed” when they can’t “have” or “get” sex. They feel “ashamed” when they have too turn to porn for release. Hate and disappointment is released, along with their aging libidos.
Or maybe it’s the porn industries “EVIL-PLAN” if any guy treats a woman with the same type of “disrespect” that some of these XXX movies show that same man […] he’ll get “laid” less […] which equals “higher profits” for the porn-industry. What do you think?
Maybe that’s the real reason for all of the “degradation” in regards to the XXX industry?
Money is always the motivation behind most of the evilest acts that have occurred in the world, which have been perpetrated on the “weak” in every society in the world since the beginning of time.
None of this is too “enlightening,” like he says—we’ve all seen hate-filled porn […] he thinks that most have a basic sense of where these feelings come from […] “disappointment” and “disrespect,” washes over performer’s and the camera crews as well […] so “nobody” who’s involved in the XXX industry-really escapes the suffering that they have been responsible for.
