Laughing my ass off having just seen this thread! !grin!
I wasn't aware that the Loaded article had gone to press. The journalist in question printed the story first in More magazine which was pretty riddled with errors & half truths. I was merely amused by this as I conclude that only imbeciles believe everything they read in the press but JJ was less than impressed. We therefore sent a load of changes over to the journalist who promised (for what it's worth) to amend the article before it went into the Sport....
Of course this didn't happen so J asked them to pull the article before it went into Loaded - but hey that was never going to happen so just to set the record straight for you.....
We don't shoot 5 or 6 films a week! Most of my work has been tv work and modelling and now I'm working on my own projects a lot more. You can see a summary here
The shoot mentioned was for One eyed jack. The first time of course we didn't get paid - that would be ridiculous! We'd been moving house and were both shattered but Terry shoots REAL couples so is well used to guys getting a flop-on and he generously arranged another date with us. I think it fair to say that quite a few studs have had problems with wood at some point in their lives and especially their first ever shoot!
Spankymonkey you are 100% accurate in labelling me a publicity seeker although I prefer to call it self promotion myself. A tool which is key to any customer/fan based business.
I also quite like the fact that the articles are helping to change public perspective, if only in a very small way. Whilst the articles may be exaggerated or innacurate in places - I hasten to add, the articles were pro-porn which I believe not only normalises it for people who haven't been exposed to very much porn, but makes it more socially acceptable. With this in mind I think the media can play a very useful role in changing attitudes and I see this as a very positive thing.
Any suspected exaggeration is not due to a lack of a real story, in fact the magazines are very tightly controlled on what they can and can't say and we were told that much of it would be deemed to racy for their readership. They were unable to even print topless pics in some of the women's magazines!
The girls mentioned by Sam of course would make fantastic interview material I agree! However the story was initially commissioned for a popular Women's magaine. They wanted a story which would appeal to their target audience - which I believe is females aged 18-25 and they felt the best way to do this would be to interview people that their readership could relate to somewhat. Whereas I imagine they felt that the readership would find it harder to relate to the likes of top professional bg stars who shoot tons of scenes each month.
I hope this has answered some of your questions and also quashed some of your angst Spanky hun.
Personal thoughts aside - it seems the article has incited a reaction so I guess you could say the journo's done her job!
PS: If anyone can scan me over a copy of said article that would be mostly appreciated
