I was thinking that, but if anyone has porn questions they think I can answer they can ask them as well.

Before we shoot boy girl they have to show us a recent FULL test.

If Eva and I have a threesome I use a condom.

Problem here is the kids are very reckless and do not use any protection as most of the girls are on the pill. So lots of nasty infections going around.

lol :) :1orglaugh :thumbsup :thumbsup

yikes. :(

how about Charly finishing his part first :1orglaugh

Nice interview!!

Post bot?

this coming from someone who lives off free money from tax payers, brags about having a morphine script and living on vicodin and alcohol.

:1orglaugh

Sorry for the delay in answering but weekends are for the family and not sitting at a computer. IMO

Not sure if I remember but we recently had a 4some with two other girls. When is a regualr girlfriend the other was posing with her and thought she would try it out the night before. They were staying over night with us.

My first wife and I were swingers and we went to swingers parties, sometimes it was 1-2-1, or more, sometimes it was a melee with as many people as wanted.

The most professionally was 5, did two threesomes and a straight couple scene once. Went home with a sore back and a fistful of cash. :1orglaugh

Numbers are not important though, sex is not a competition or race. It's like a quality wine, best enjoyed with care, appeciation and some one special.

It's not nice. They have a search warrant that allows them to look wherever they wish, they can rip up floor boards or take down walls if they want to.

They usually come in very early in the morning, waking you up to catch you off guard. there will be 4 to 8 of them and the idea is to intimidate you. They will look every where and fill up large strong plastic bags, which they label. If you have the brains you phone your lawyer and he will get them to list everything, but if the police get pissed expect them to get very nasty and start tapping walls to see if any are hollow.

They might tell you what the raid is about and they might not, best thing is to keep quiet and just follow them around.

Producing porn is the 80s and 90s in the UK was not easy. I've been raided for producing porn and for selling unlicensed videos. Only been charged for selling unlicensed videos.

Most nerve-racking visit from the police was not a raid.

About 12 years ago the door bell rang and my secretary went downstairs to answer it. She called for me to come down and as I was going down two men were walking up the stairs. I immediately went on the offensive and told them to stop there and tell me whom they were. They produced police IDs and said they were from Peckham (in south London) Murder Squad and wanted to talk to me.

I took them in the studio and they said I had nothing to worry about this was just routine enquiries. This did nothing but worry me more. They then started to interview me about a girl I had no knowledge of and could not find in my records. She knew me, where the studio was and how I advertised for models. They interviewed me very aggressively for an hour, telling me in the middle she had been horribly knifed to death.

At the end of the interview they relaxed and told me the facts.

The murdered girl had been a hooker working from home. She had kept notebooks on every meeting and telephone conversation she had as a working girl. They had 12 notebooks to go through. They had thought before meeting me the girl had only spoken to me on the phone, but had to "Eliminate me from their enquiries."

As the paysite grows we will take on someone to submit and manage the traffic/affiliate program.

Radka, house keeper.

Me, dumb arse.

Not much to talk about at the moment. we launched www.paulmarkhamteens.com back in December and so far pretty pleased with what it's doing.

I'm trying out different things with the tours and driving traffic to learn what works and what does not. Lots of people are offering to take it over and manage, run or help. But if I let others do it I will not learn myself.

It's not like we need the money, more like I need the challenge of conquering another hill.

We have two new tours we are putting the finishing touches to, if they work we will extend the affiliate program. But I want to get it right before I start taking other people traffic in a big way. Got two clients with big sites sending us traffic and there traffic converts at under 1:40, which I do not think is good enough for membership traffic from similar sites.

that's it really, we sign up around 30 to 40 a week and the numbers are growing. we do little to drive traffic at it other than Chameleon Auto Submitter and a few partner accounts.

So many, but to name a few.

BUT ALL TAKE SECOND PLACE BEHIND
EVA MARKHAM

FORGOT ABOUT LOOKING DOWN.

Idiots, those who think it's easy, those who think they have something to offer when they cleary do not.

But above all those who insult my profession and what I have tried to do right for the last 27 years.

Hello Charley,
Interesting interview, I bought a lot of nice content from you. :thumbsup

Charley does have a lot of it :thumbsup :thumbsup

To promote our business and learn about the Adult Internet.

Made some money, learned some things and best of all made some friends.

I was with my first wife during the late 70s and early 80s.

But not today.

This one is easy to answer.

The best thing that ever heppened to me was Eva, she gave my life new meaning and purpose.

The worse was losing my father. he died fairly young and the last time we talked we argued.

Born 22nd of August 1950, I will be 55 this August.

I think about retiring all the time, only problem is I would not know what to do with my self. Maybe I could sit on a beach for a few weeks, but I would soon miss Eva and Victoria, our daughter, maybe just do more shows and less studio and office work.

Normally I would say no, but in our case the answer is yes.

Yes and they succeeded.

Back in the days when I ran a clothing factory and it's the reason I went bankrupt.

These days I'm a bit more careful, if I buy custom content, design or programming we pay when the goods are delivered and approved. Or we put it on my Visa so if the goods do not arrive as ordered I can charge back.

But I often get idiots approach me with a mailing list off 50K active webmasters. Idiots do not think for themselves and realise I have a mailing list and know how many are active and how hard it would be to collect that many. They disappear when I offer them a cut from the mailing rather than a straight purchase.

Sorry no can do, home is private.

I have a Ford Focus Ghia estate. Good for doing trips where I can put all the equipment in the back. Had it nearly three years and no intention of replacing it until it starts to go wrong.

Not into fancy or expensive cars.

This picture is from a lesbian voyeur shoot we did.

Not enough.

We tried to get to Vegas this year and because of our daughter having to go to hospital never made it, she's fine now.

I might go to Pheonix at the last minute but with new staff to train it's unlikely. I will definitely be in Prague in April for that show and Eva and I will try to make it to Miami this year.

10 years ago it was my only contact with the Internet, I spent a lot of time chasing people who were stealing my content from a collection of CD discs I had made of my content and scanning from magazines.

What I did not realise was many of the people stealing were doing so because they did not know where to buy from. Ishould of looked on them as a potential customer.

Today if we find someone stealing we go after them, contacting their sponsor, hosting and even URL registration. I think there is money to be made by someone pursuing these people and the sponsors who reguarly allow stolen content to be used for their boards promotion. Offer them to buy a more expensive license after the theft or go to court.

Needs a legal brain to organise it and I'm not that.

Nikon D1X and D100 for digital.

Canon EOS 3 & 5 for film work.

Sony VX200 for video.

Nothing spectacular but they work.

Yes it's my one luxury.

However when I fly with Eva she insists on flying coach so I sit with her.

I hate flying and going first class eases the pain, the business pays for it anyway.

Not much to talk about really. The Czech Republic has a more adult approach to porn than some countries and other than having a CZ corporation, paying taxes, employing people I have little to do with the law.

I think for this industry based in the US this could of been disasterous. It was not so much the threat from Acacia, IMO they are a badly managed company, it was more the threat from the Patent Licensing business in whole that concerned me.

If the few who din stand up and fight had not I think the US Adult Industry would of been a target for other companies with similar operating methods as Acacia. Fortunately for us all the few did stand up and fight, showing the rest of patent business we are not low hanging fruit.

Depends on the model.

If a girl is from a long way we will let her stay over night, assuming we feel she will respect our home. Learnt very early on in my career that letting them come 3 hours on a bus before a shoot results in having a tired model.

Also having her there the night before allows you to socialise and get to know each other. What we try to do is very intimate and personal, doing that with a stranger is harder than doing it with a friend.

Nothing to discuss the two things do not go together.

It's too easy for a model to scream she was under the influence of drugs or alchohol while she was doing the work.

Also if she knows you are doing drugs and has a problem with you, then a phone call to the police drops you in deep shit.

Not desperate at all.

There are many crews coming to CZ to shoot, practically on a daily basis, and girls can get work at between $400 to $2,000 a day. In a country where the average wage for working class is $400 a month that's a nice chunk of change.

Also there is less pressure to earn money here than in say the US. People here for many years had little and had learned to live that way. So the idea that you can entice someone from a poor area with money, to do something they would not do is wrong.

More chance of enticing a girl from LA, with money than CZ. Plus she will have more things to spend it on and will need more sooner.

You've been reading too many novels or maybe just the right wing press telling us how porn and organised crime are connected or that Eastern Europe is run by the mafia.

Never had any dealings with them at all.

We were in the US a few weeks ago and I had to find a doctor to sort out me and my flu. The receptionist was asking my mother if Czech was safe and that she would be scared if her son lived there. This is a woman who's a doctors receptionist and lives in So Cal.

I would say there are less murders in Czech than police killing the wrong people in CA.

I'm safe and touched by your concern. :winkwink:

No never, I go to conventions to do business not party.

I'm very boring really. :1orglaugh

Used to have a problem going in and out of the UK, my passport was on a "WATCH" list and they would pull me over and search my luggage. I was down on the computer as a pornographer and needed extra watching, they never found anything.

In Europe now the borders are coming down and trade is much easier. so really nothing to say on this one.

I left school shortly before my 15th birthday and for the last year had played truant most days.

left without a single award, result or diploma. which when you think of what I achieved since then is a shame on the school and system.

I found school boring, frustrating and useless. I could read write add and subtract and knew a fair bit about history, geography and Religious studies. When I asked to be included in the cooking classes, becasue I intended being a chef and loved to cook, was told it was for girls only.

When you consider I've design office interiors and earnt a fortune with a camera, the fact that I struggled to get an F at Art is an example of how bad the school I attended was.

Hated school and one of the best days of my life was the day I left school.

Sorry it has taken so long to answer all the questions, as I said weekends for me are time to spend with the family. Just back from a trip skiing locally and had ten minutes to finish it off.

Good to see so many views :) , but sad there were so few comments :( .

If anyone has any other questions or comments they would like to put forward feel free to do so. Just do not expect me to site here and wait for them as it's close to dinner time and I'm cooking.

Very intersting Charly. Seems you've led an interesting life.
