Naked Ambition: Adventures in Porn

Then
the porn stars came to me. My social network was the first of its kind
and a surprisingly very welcome women-only spot for sharing sexual
experiences. The contact was made; I had the glimmer of the seed of a
cast of porn stars. I could start to move in the direction of
movie-making.

Doing something — not just saying you want to do
something or dreaming you want to do something — is kind of rare, I’ve
discovered. I actually made a film series of lesbian pornography, and
this shocked people. They didn’t respond in an “ew, that’s so slutty”
way, but rather with the flavor of “How the hell did you pull that off?”

I’ll tell you that and so much more, but you have to read the next column.

It’s
a mad, mad business, this sex stuff. When you’re building a business to
rival the crumbling Playboy, the only way to go is up ... unless you’re
talking about down there.
