As such the money that was to be made from shooting and distributing porn, even on 8mmm cini film was ASTRONOMICAL!
How could I have ended up doing anything else?
Ahh... The good old days - I've said it before & I'll say it again - If porn became illegal again, I'd come out of retirement in a flash!

How often did people ask you, "

That's a really steep penalty, jfc man, I thought the Comstock Act was bad
What was a common work day like for you back in those days?
Respect dude, if only Mary Whitehouse could see the internet lol
