How is this guy not looked upon as a sleazier version of Joe Francis? I mean at least Joe paid them often, bought them booze and gave them shirts. How does he have the feminist backing? Someone explain this nonsense to me. He's essentially an escort who films "dates" can't take payment because then it would be…

You get $0.00 to shoot with James Deen.

Hahahaha. A typical porn performer makes way less than that. Sorry.

Err, I'm not a dude. And fucking a guy is one thing; doing paid work for free is another. But thanks for coming out!

I would be really interested in reading a piece about the things you talk about in this comment

Since when is a porn personal? Like "Whoo whoo. It's ok to watch her have sex but not ok to ask her how it was!!!"

Once you've linked your Twitter handle to an article like this, I think it's too late.

That's actually what I was thinking too, the lead up wasn't interesting and I kept reading hoping to find out what it is actually like to film a porno, was she able to actually enjoy it, when were the moments when they had to stop and restart the scene because of being out of line of the camera, were there other…

I'm an escort who has had a positive experience in the industry but I'm still inclined to agree with you. Why? None of these stories ever go over the most fascinating parts of the job to me - the negative side of things, the ways it has changed my ever-evolving feminist principles & my views on male sexuality, sex…

zing.

Except some of those IHM submissions have a point, and this one doesn't.

Not that he's exactly wanting for it, but it shows how good he has it that he can literally put out a casting call for sex, and women come running (or driving, or flying). Dinks doing this on craigslist will get ripped (granted, they usually do it exceptionally poorly) but Deen? SPLOOSH.

I bet that will be her next piece looking at the initial reaction to this one. I thought I was having trouble reading because of my own issues, but nope, this may have been proofread once before it got picked up. I edit my own comments more than this piece was edited.

Gah, damn thee kinja. But the amount of collaboration and comfort between performers in pornography occurring here is about 1000% of all the other porn currently being shot. It sounds like a sex romp that happened to be videotaped. Jez, I know you try to be all sex positive by running editorial pieces from people who…

Wait, I feel like this was purposely written to gloss over the regrets portion and assign blame to the people who were hurt.

but I can ensure that he has to pay X amount of dollars to actually see it so…voilà! Porn.

This piece is really confusing and convoluted and reads like a poorly written porn ad, BUT I gotta say James Deen and/or his publicist is a marketing genius. This whole "big star shooting porn with normal people" concept is amazing because it spans both the mainstream porn market and the amateur market. Plus it makes…
