It's my belief that it isn't possible to target one facet of the industry without imposing a standard across the board. For example, it would not be possible to stop drunk driving without a government standard blood alcohol limit.
Although I highlighted a purely off-topic portion of your reply, I would like to respond to it by simply saying:
Very good parallel. However... were you aware that out of the 50 states, there aren;t but a handful that .10 as the legal defintion of DUI rather than .08? That seems near enough to an across the board standard to me.
Anyway...
As I mnetioned, no one is calling for reforms or anything of the sort. It's merely conjecture and specualtion based upon the laws of supply and demand. If and when the demand for this sort of thing begans to drop you will eventually see a decrease in the production of such filth.
Now.. to everyone else:
Some of you may think I'm a feminist radical or bitch with the way that I've responded, but all I'm trying to really point out is this:
None of
us - the FreeOnes Bulletin Board members - were privy to Lacey Duvalle's thoughts or reasons as to why she elected to perform in this movie. Maybe she had a desire to step out and try something new. Maybe she was paid an exorbitant amount of money to star in the production feature. Maybe she was coerced or somehow forced to appear in it. Maybe it the only way out of the porn industry.
None of us will ever know until the woman herself speaks up and tells her story. I, for one, feel thats he shouldn't have to defend her actions or reasons for anything to anyone.... but that's just my spin. I'm merely pointing out that filth like this - Throat Gaggers 101 and other gonzo-style brutal porn - is geared towards those who enjoy watching feminine degradation, humiliation, and other acts that reduce women in stature. While I enjoy porn of all styles, this is not enjoyable all. It's fit for the sewer.
Knowing that the Mafia used to have a stronghold on the porn industry back in the 70's and 80's, it wouldn't surprise me at all to find that some of these girls are still forced to perform acts like this in order to meet contractual obligations. It also wouldn't surprise me to learn that there is a certain percentage of actresses who enjoy being humiliated and brutalized. After all, if there are
men out there who enjoy it; it stands to reason that there are obviously going to be a set amount of porn actresses who enjoy making these kinds of movies.
However, given the particular actress in question - who has never been in a movie such as this or even shown an inclination to be in this part of the industry - it really makes one wonder just what her reasons were for doing it. I tend to lean toward the supposition that she was somehow forced into doing it. How I can't say for certain... I can only speculate.
Whatever the reason, you can't deny the fact that in this particular genre of the porn industry, women are treated in a sub-human, degrading, and humiliating manner. Who really enjoys seeing fake rape, throat gagging to the point of throwing up, being electrocuted, and things of that nature? I'm sorry if I offend anybody, but you're sick as hell. You need serious psychiatric help.
This is not porn. It's abuse. Period. Plain and simple. End of story.
