I remember Ed all the way back to Bus Stop Tales, that pre-dated Dirty Debutantes (early days of VHS).
Like you, I couldn't wait to get a camera...
Read in Wikipedia that Ed's house was foreclosed on in 2008:

I only talked to Ed a few times. Once at a Cybernet Expo in 2001-02, and the other time on the phone back in 2002, when I was supposed to accompany a new girl to a shoot at Ed's house, and Ed insisted at the last minute that "girl only" come. No prob for me, since I was only planning to go at the girl's request anyway, and when he insisted that she go alone, she did not object, so I was off the hook.
The girl calls me a few hours later from Ed's house and she says wants to show Ed her pix on my website.
I try to give her the URL, but she was so computer illiterate that she didn't even know what a URL was, and when I started telling her to type in html she got totally confused ("that's not a word!"). When I told her semi-colon backslash, backslash, she totally freaked, and Ed jerked the phone out of her hand, and yelled, "What's the fucking URL?!?
I gave Ed the URL, and that was the last time we spoke.
Not sure what brand of condoms Ed used/uses:
Ed got a little notoriety a few years ago when he released one of the first hetero HIV+ M/F scenes featuring Brooke Ashley:
