I was used to having sex with women minutes after being introduced. As actors we tried to keep a sense of humor and fun about the situation. It was professional, not sexy. That’s why they call it acting. You’ve just got to sell it for the camera. But the interview with Daphne was sexy. She was beautiful and intelligent and I was seismically attracted her. I swear, if someone had said, “Decide right now, based on the little you know, if you want to marry her†I would have said Yes.

That’s a sample from the latest story on Fishnet, the online erotic fiction magazine I’m editing: Interview With A Porn Star, by Daniel Burnell. To read more, read the rest of the story. (Not for anyone under 18.) Enjoy!
Just out of interest – South Africa has a bit of controversy going with our major pay-TV provider, DSTV, talking about adding a porn channel.
One of our unions, Solidarity, claims that porn is linked to higher rates of anti-female violence. It is a big issue out here.
The thing is this seems to me to be a matter of the same sort of hysteria you get with violent computer games, or movies, or books, or music, or just about anything else where people somehow expect us all to lose the ability to tell fantasy from reality.
Do you know of any good sources where I can start doing some proper research on this?
I’d recommend Googling “pornography anti-female violence studies” and see what shows up. I just did, and I would recommend the Wikipedia article and whatever links are at the end of it as a good place to start. Good luck!
Great story, well done! I’d love to meet a Daphne someday!
Bruce: I’d recommend “Defending Pornography: Free Speech, Sex and the Fight for Women’s Rights,” by Nadise Strossen, former president of the ACLU.
You might also find worthwhile “Watching Sex: How Men Really Respond to Pornography” by David Loftus.
Hope this is helpful!
Thanks hey!
