In the late 60s, for me, the porn industry took off. Any guy who could keep an erection in front of a crowd and fuck whoever was put in front of them. Was gold dust. And paid anything from $80 to $160 a scene. Two scenes a day and the decision was, why work full time for $100 a week? The work was plentiful



And we got to fuck some great girls as well as some bloody awful ones.

It was in the late 60s I first picked up a camera and started my life behind the camera. All it took was the ability to light the set, no the right poses, frame, focus and click. Never understood why people think it was so hard.

And away I went.



I was paid $160 a day or more to do this. The average weekly wage for then was around $80 a week. No one cared about cost, whatever the cost profits were a 1,000% or more in a couple of months and the content kept producing more profit. the problems were finding new girls to model, it wasn't like we could put an advert in the paper.

We relied on a network of people, who were in touch with escorts, strippers, unemployed girls and the girls themselves to bring friends. It was impossible to fulfill the demand for new sets and films. The market was insatiable.

Then in the late 60s porn in Denmark while being illegal was being largely ignored by the police. So long as it was with bounds. And supply was ramped up. We got to see our first mass produced films, colour magazines shipped in from Europe by the lorry loads.

Comparing this to the introduction of HD, 3D, VR is like comparing a sardine to a whale. Men would travel 100s of miles to come to Central London to buy magazines.
