This is an oral history of the Porn industry taken from a huge number of sources. In a lot of ways it exposes our hypocrisy about pornography, the "yeah I did but I didn't inhale" sort of thing. Interesting stuff, it traces how the early "Hippie" free love culture evolved into a drug crazed, biker gang and organized crime thing. It touches on some of the high profile disasters, Shauna Grant, Savannah, Traci Lords and John Holmes but virtually ignores how the porno industry evolved into big business with large corporations dominating the industry. There's very little discussion of the shift from New York to California production. There's virtually no mention of the impact of the Internet. Well written and well worth reading though. A sequel picking up in 1985 would be nice.

I expected this book to be written in true crime book/reporting fashion and was pleased to find a candid, interview style instead. The tales, as told by those who lived them, offer multiple perspectives/considerations rather than a cut and dried "here it is, no room for deviation," set in stone story.It's a long book that's engrossing rather than arduous, most of the text has been dissected ad nauseum in previous reviews so I'll spare a rehashing of details.Lastly, set aside a few quiet hours for reading this book because once you start, you won't wanna stop. Kinda fits with the topic though, you know?

...the potential this book had and wasted. It really should be subtitled "The Uncensored Oral History of the Mob Syndicate From 1972 to 1999." The shady figures who financed pornography during this period, many of who paid the ultimate price for their "ill gotten gains," have as much if not more "screen time" in this narrative than the stars and makers of adult movies. Not that they aren't interesting. Reuben Sturman is a fascinating figure - the most profitable pornographer in the history of the world was satisfied to cultivate his own little corner in Ohio. And the story of John C. Holmes ties to the "Wonderland" killers is gripping. And when the authors aren't detailing these shenanigans, and the efforts to stifle the industry by FBI sting operations, we get generous accounts of the "recreational" activities of the stars, etc. Apparently when they weren't fornicating for the camera they were sniffing, snorting, injecting, and inhaling. Enough of that goes a long way.The authors do admit this is not a completely comprehensive look at the industry - that time and space would not allow for such. That seems reasonable. But instead of telling us about all the offscreen rutting of the actors and their cohorts, why not tell us more about the movies themselves? They do cover the big three - the cornerstones of Porno Chic, Deep Throat, Devil in Miss Jones, and Behind the Green Door, but how about the elegant erotic confections of Radley Metzger, the man who produced and directed, under the Henry Paris pseudonym, The Opening of Misty Beethoven, largely considered to this day the finest hardcore adult film ever made? How about a profile of boy wonder Bill Osco, who was a millionaire producer while still in his twenties? Or such other blue movie genuises as Alex DeRenzy or Anthony Spinelli, each of who gave a little extra to the "crotch operas" he created?The good stuff comes at the end, with the depiction of the onslaught of the AIDS epidemic and its impact on adult entertainment. Performer Tricia Devereaux offers truly touching testimony, matched by director John Stagliano who tried to assuage his grief at the loss of his girlfriend by hurling himself into the abyss of unsafe sex.The authors claim not to judge, and they don't - at least not explicitly. However, this is clearly a morality tale, no, a cautionary tale. But I imagine had they written about the law profession, academics, the medical industry, or American politics, we the readers would have come to the same conclusions about the participants and been left with the same sense of lives largely wasted.

Ridiculously fun as well as informative, this book, though gossipy at times, is essential for truly understand the triumphs and horrors of the porn world.

Fascinating and eye opening.
