Amateur Porn and the Internet...the first REALITY shows


Porn and the Inernet...wow...! what a lethal combination for disaster...! I wonder if Bill Gates knew all the implications the two together would have on our society...when I was a young horny Black teen walking around with constant 24/7/365 erection, I would go down to the news store on the corner of Washington and Ocean st. where they sold this pink xxx underground newsletter that they stuck way in the back off all the 'legit' papers and comic books and magazines and being a regular costumer who came in every Saturday morning to buy a few new Marvel comic books, they paid very little if any attention to me until it was time to cash out...so I would grab one of the pink xxx porn papers that was more about nasty stories than pics and would slip it into a copy of the local weekly town rag and haul ass home with a raging hard on and the anticipation of pure self pleasure the next next week was going to provide...and next Saturday, I would go and steal next weeks copy. Those mags were the first things I ever stole on a consistent level, ( I stole a piece of bubble gum once...shame on me), and along with a few other xxx things I encountered back in my early years, helped mould me into who I would later become in this bizz...but that is another story for another time. So back to this story. Remembering what I had to go through to get porn back in the day had me chuckling when I saw an episode of 'The Sopranos' where the feds were on their way and Meadow comes into AJ's room to let him know and he is ho hum about it (just another raid) until she asks him if he wants them to find all the porn on his computer...wow...!
Two things hit me here...the look on AJ's face at the prospects of being 'busted' for porn and what easy access we all have to any and all sorts of porn in this new age of the Information Highway...and it is accessible to anyone and everyone...yup, someone opened a can of worms on this one...

But I want to focus on how the Internet has affected the porn industry starting of course with the explosion of the Amateur/Amateur Interracial scene...the two of course go together in an interesting sort of way which I will explain as we proceed. I remember being accepted to a computer school when living in San Francisco back in 1980 but deciding not to go when I found out that my wife to be was pregnant. I was working as a restaurant manager on the grave yard shift, modeling and trying to get into commercials with my roller skating act by day along with just beginning my thing as an interracial porn star pre VCR/VHS days...back when you had to wear a long overcoat with the collars pulled up hoping that no one who knew you would see you in this part of town getting your porn fix. I am sure a lot of you know what I am talking about...lol...( I cover this more in dept in the auto-bio)...anyway, I decided not to enroll, but to get another job with a new one on the way and I will never forget the guy from the college telling me not to make that decision as this was the wave of the future. Little would either of us know that it was the Internet that made me who I became in the porn world. And with the acception of 'Candid Camera', the early amateur porn stars started the REALITY thing that is now the big thing on tv...yes WE started it all with the help on the Interent, (with apologies to John Stigliano of course)...

to be continued...
