I got a Skype message today with some information about a video. When he sent me some screenshots, I was like … wait, what? I had to do some digging. Surely he was mistaken.

Sadly, he was not.

An anti-porn organization put together a video called “Beyond Fantasy,” which they have been posting to YouTube in multiple parts.

The press release and coverage of this were only in Yahoo Finance and a UK financial news site.  So let’s connect the dots ….

Benjamin Nolat / Exodus Cry –> Bill Ackman (hedge fund billionaire that called Visa to take down Pornhub’s Visa processing) –> Finance News website coverage.

Now let’s talk about this “groundbreaking” video.

This first part is about how we need to end the teen or barely legal genre, claiming that we are producing fake pedophile porn by trying to make girls appear UNDER 18.

The porn industry creates endless images and videos that are consumed by billions worldwide, yet surprisingly little is known about how this culture-shaping content is made-or at what cost.

The video starts off talking to porn star Tracey Sweet, who plays the barely legal babe fantasy. As of today, she is, in fact, 30 years old but began her career when she was 19. Much of this footage appears to be from Tracey Sweet recently, but they are using videos of years ago when she was 19. So it goes back and forth between then and no, but they don’t state that. They make you think that this 30-year-old girl is also this 19-year-old girl.

The next part of the video is Will Ryder, where she talks about the concept of “barely legal.”

Will Ryder has this to say about his part in the documentary.

It has come to my attention that there is a ‘new’ documentary about the porn biz that paints a rather lousy picture of the industry and the producers. I am in this documentary. The doc producer that interviewed me 12 or so years ago I believe, was less than forthcoming. There is no new footage and when it comes to my interview, it was painted as something completely different than how he had framed things originally. The producer was like many other interviewers at the time, just ‘interested in the porn biz’ so I consented not knowing there could be a nefarious angle. That’s my fault.

Over the past decade, I have not participated in ‘mainstream’ interviews for just such fear. I stayed away from the Ron Jeremy docs and many others. However, back in 2010 which is when I think this doc was shot, I was in my media promotion mode and answered questions about my parodies not having a clue there was an anti-porn agenda brewing with this producer. So, of course I regret doing this interview although I am certain my replies were honest and nothing to be embarrassed about when in context. Of course, if one frames the story in a completely different manner over a decade later, then includes old video clips, one could make a horrific point about anything. I regret participating in this interview, I have not seen it yet but have heard that it is from an anti-porn crusader. I don’t think I embarrassed myself with my replies, but getting framed with a different angle and spin is not a great feeling. I am not giving this documentary or the producer any extra attention because he was not forthcoming back during the original interview and their agenda, certainly is not my agenda.

Will Ryder

This was confirmed because, in the video, they show him filming his movie Not the Wizard of Oz XXX which was in fact filmed in 2012 – ten years ago.

Next, they speak to Aiden Ashley and reference some of her photos where she wears bright color knee-high socks.

Next, they show Max Hardcore, who infamously was indicted by the US Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section with five counts of transporting obscene matter by use of interactive computer service and five counts of mailing obscene matter, relating to five movies showing fisting, urination, and vomiting. He was subsequently found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 46 months in prison.

They flashback to Will Ryder while on the set of his movie “Not the Wizard of Oz XXX” where he does say that some people have probably taken barely legal too far.

Case in point, there was recently an adult producer who was outed as obsessing over the “Daddy Daughter Princess Fetish,” whereas a grown man acts as the father and the female acts under age and her room is decorated like a pre-teen Disney princess sort of theme.

The female in the daddy-daughter princess fetish is often put in pigtails, with hair blows, and dressed up to appear under-age.

Moving forward, they are on the set with Nina Hartley, who often plays the taboo role of having sex with her step-daughter or step-son. This is one of the most popular porn genres. “Quasi-incest porn,” as Nina Hartley calls it.

They ask her what kind of message that sends when she is promoting a fantasy of having sex with your child.

She says that’s one taboo she doesn’t share. She doesn’t have a fantasy of it.

Again they make it sound like she’s promoting child abuse.

It immediately cuts to Aiden Ashley talking about the time a predatory director tried to make her pretend to be real sisters with another porn star and then have sex on screen as real sisters (not step), and she said no incest or pedophilia is not sexy, and I won’t do it.

Of course, they cut to an old Max Hardcore video where he records himself with a girl pretending to be 12 1/2 years old.

• Yes, he did that.
• Yes, he was arrested for it.

Does anybody else in porn do that?

Not that I am aware of. I’ve been in porn since August of 1996 – Yes, that makes 27 years. And in that time, I’ve only been aware of two similar incidents – one is the Max Hardcore fake pre-teen porn (which he was arrested for) and then another incident from Rob Black where they fake killed a person and had sex with a fake dead body, and yes he was arrested for that as well.

Most people in porn don’t cross those lines. YES, there are a few really fucked up people out there. But does that make the entire industry bad? NO! Of course not.

There was a school teacher arrested yesterday for having sex with a 13-year-old little boy. Does that mean every school teacher is a rapist? No. Of course not.

There was a doctor two weeks ago arrested for having sex with women while they were un anesthesia. Does that mean every doctor is a sick fuck? Of course not!

Anyway, at around the 20:48 minute mark in the video, Max Hardcore explains why men are attracted to “young girls,” saying they are the most fertile. I won’t even go into all he says. Let’s just say I wanted to throw up and move on.

Next, they talk to Mike South (the man, not the website), who says he’s not a fan of the barely legal genre and says that he wishes the industry would do a little more self-regulation.

Watching this video made me remember an incident that rocked the porn industry about ten years ago. It’s something very few people talk about because some of the people involved had a lot of powerful industry friends who hushed everyone up.

It all started with a girl who at the time was over 18 years of age, but she looked 9. She was living in Colombia and dressed up to look underage. If you were to look at her pictures, I promise you would not know this was a grown-ass adult. It wasn’t just the way they dressed her up and did her hair (although that played into it), but it was also that she was very tiny and had cup breasts; seriously, she just looked like a 9-year-old.

Even I was like what … the … fuck …

One day she comes to America and is like I don’t want to portray this little girl anymore, and her new US boyfriend (soon-to-be husband) helps her get a boob job. She got a contract with Wicked Pictures and made a big-budget film. Everyone was going great.

She’s like, I love me, but I want to go full glam, act my age, wear lots of makeup and be sexy but not pretend to be a child. Everyone was like YEAH, we agree you should do that. Her new boobs helped her look more like she was 18+.

I think Wicked Pictures was able to release a single movie with her because then the news broke. The FBI took her in for questioning, and a warrant was issued for her soon-to-be ex-husband back in Colombia.

He was wanted on child porn charges.

The story only got worse from there.

It turns out this sweet and innocent-looking girl was sent into schools in the poorest part of Colombia to find underage girls to work as full-time webcam models. They had her do it because she looked so young she could pass for someone in junior high.

These young girls who were recruited were required to work 8 to 12 hours a day and were paid next to nothing. Any money they did earn was sent back home to their families. As it turns out, the girl and her then-husband would make deals with their very poor families. They promised to take care of their daughters and send any money they earned back home to their families.

We are unaware if all the families knew they were being sold into the sex business, but it appears in some cases, they were. This girl left porn – obviously, nobody would work with her, and her new American fiance quietly rebranded her a DJ.

I tell you this story because I don’t think we should hide our shameful pasts. Bad shit happens in all industries.

What this person did was horrible. I’m sorry to say only her ex-husband served any time. He was arrested in Spain and eventually extradited to Colombia. The girl in question, no longer in porn, never served a day in jail over this. No charges were filed against her, or if they were, they were all dropped. Which sucks. She should burn in hell for what she did.

But hey, that’s just me, and I’m getting off-topic.

The point I’m trying to make is that there is trash in every industry, and yes, ours included. We aren’t perfect. There is so much that we could do better.

And because we don’t self-regulate, we allow people like Exodus Cry to come in and cause us these problems.

Now they have powerful friends who have connections to Visa and Mastercard.

Those people are the reason why we have some many problems in our industry right now. Mastercard rules are only the beginning.

The question is, how much longer under Visa and Mastercard just walk away from porn altogether?

Then what?

How will you support your kids?

How will you pay your rent?

The website associated with this YouTube video asks people to help them #EndTeenPorn.  Stating, and I’m quoting here …

The porn industry has been using and abusing teens in porn for decades and it’s destroying impressionable, vulnerable young lives. Teen porn is selling the fantasy of having sex with a child or minor. Enough is enough. We need your voice in this fight!

What else do they want to stop?

ALL PORN

They’ve made their intentions very clear from day one.

NCOSE and Exodus Cry – want an end to all porn production. They may not be able to make it illegal, but they do have enough power to get Visa and Mastercard to stop doing business with us.

Then what’s the point of making porn if we can’t profit from it?

You can’t just sit there and do nothing.

Consider this your wake-up call.

What would you do if your job in porn ended as of tomorrow? Because I promise you, that’s the reality you are facing.

Are you ready to be without a job in porn? Because if you don’t do something, that is a real possibility.

You have a voice. You have a platform. USE IT.
