How Jenny Became A Porn Star

How Jenny Became A Porno Star

Once. I did it once. With my friend Mark. And this is how it happened….

“It looks a lot bigger on screen that it is in real life.” Mark smirked and shifted a little beside me, retracting the hand that had been draping towards my breast, until it lay again on my shoulder.

“I should hope so,” I laughed, purposefully keeping my voice light. “It means I can stop being terrorised by the size of her boobs.”

Now it was Mark’s turn to laugh. He’d been acting coy all evening, ever since we ran into one another on the street, and I asked him what on earth an office-bound stockbroker was doing, with a three man film crew following him around. He started out telling me that his firm was making a TV commercial, and I stepped back into a doorway before I spoiled the shot (or whatever you call it). Then the pneumatic blonde appeared in a doorway, wearing more make-up than actual clothes, and the barked directions that Mark was now following really didn’t sound the sort of things you’d expect to hear in an advert for financial services. Well, not the kind of financial services that stockbrokers normally advertise.

How long have I known Mark? A couple of years, off and on – he’s one of those people that you consider a friend, without ever doing much that’s friendly together: Christmas and birthday cards, the occasional drink, invites to parties. He dated one of my workmates for a while, but it didn’t work out – I never found out why, and I wasn’t really that interested in finding out. So he was that sort of friend.

“Hey, lady. Are you in or out?”

A voice at my shoulder made me start. One of the film crew was standing there, looking expectantly into my eyes.

“Sorry?”

“You’re a friend of lover boy there, aren’t you? So, are you in this or not?”

“I think not,” I answered – whatever “this” might be. “I was just passing through.”

“Shame. We could use a cute brunette. Give us a call if you change your mind.” And with that, he was gone, slipping in through the same doorway that Mark and the girl had vanished, and leaving me wondering what on earth I’d just turned down. I’d just have to ask Mark, next time I saw him.

Which was about two hours later, when my cell rang, and he was calling from a bar round the corner from my apartment. “In your neighborhood,” he explained unconvincingly. “I thought I’d better explain.”

Which, once I joined him at the bar, he did, in such a long and convoluted fashion that it was half an hour before I finall got to say what had been evident to me after about 30 seconds. “You make porn films.”

He nodded. “You don’t have a problem with that, do you?”

I shook my head. “Why should I?”

“Some girls can be funny about that sort of thing.”

“Some girls can be funny about a lot of things,” I replied. “Besides…” I was going to say “it’s better than working,” but bit my tongue. From what I knew about the business, it was work, and a lot damned harder than most jobs.

“A lot better,” he said. “And the pay’s good, too.”

I laughed. “The perks, too.”

“The perks, too. But listen, Frank was serious when he said you should give him a call. And so am I. I’d love to do a shoot with you.”

So I said yes.

We started slow, up in his apartment with just his camcorder for company, me on my knees with his dick in my mouth, doing my damnedest to look cool and graceful. And afterwards… well, maybe it was just the way those tiny speakers distorted everything, but I still couldn’t believe my ears.

“Is that really what I sound like?”

“Sometimes. I love it. It’s the hottest sound I’ve ever heard.”

“It’s…” Actually, I was lost for words. The visuals were wonderful: eyes closed, lips tight, with just the tiniest droplets of white beginning to show, and you could see my throat working to capture as much as it could. But the soundtrack. You know those wildlife specials, where the gazelles are round the watering hole, and everyone’s gulping and slurping and swallowing? That’s what it sounded like. That’s what I sounded like.

But Mark was right. It was hot as well. I watched as the drips became a stream that cascaded from my mouth, as his come kept on pumping, and I needed to catch a breath.

“Makes you wonder why the music’s always so loud in porn films.”

He flicked at the mouse and paused the file. “I told you, it’s the best sound there is. I mean, look. It’s only been five minutes and I’m getting hard already.”

I reached between his legs. Sure thing. The cock I’d sucked to softness – actually, it was closer to quarter of an hour ago, but who’s counting? – was plumping up once more, and if you don’t believe how soft it was, well there’s the proof on the screen in front of us. So I reached out laughing, deleted the file, and told him I wanted a reshoot. And this time, I’d really go to town.

So I did. And while I never took him up on his offer to make another one, the film that we did shoot is still out there somewhere. In fact, oh, what the hell. Have a look for yourselves.

MISS AMERICA - THE MOVIE

Chrissie Bentley has been featured in these pages several times before, but the news that Vintage Erotica’s favorite author is about to turn her talent to screenwriting certainly makes her worthy of another mention.

The Philadelphia writer is currently in talks about bringing her 2009 XXX tour de force Miss America to the screen, in a deal that will not only see her script the story, but should also place her in line to bring some of her other visions to life.

“It’s still very early, so I can’t say too much,” Bentley admits. “But it is exciting.”

For anybody who hasn’t yet read it (and if that includes you, why not?), Miss America is one of the most dramatic erotic reads of the past few years, the story of an American woman who is kidnapped from her Spanish hotel room, to find herself trapped inside an establishment that, as Bentley puts it, falls halfway between a medieval torture chamber and a health farm for sex addicts. Twisting and turning through myriad convolutions, the labyrinthine story is a natural for the movies, not only in terms of dialogue and plotting, but also in its potential for sex scenes.

“I honestly never considered it as a movie while I was writing,” Bentley admits. “The sex scenes were basically things that I found interesting, at the same time as knowing that I wouldn’t be interested in actually trying most of them myself.” Laughing, she refuses to outline which scenes they may be, but faced with scenarios that range from an outsized dildo to a bukkake scene involving a gang of amputees and dwarves, oodles of oral, anal and orgies, and onto a few moments that border on rape and worse, a better question might be, how many actresses out there would want to go through it all?

“A few names have already been discussed,” Bentley says. “The key, however, is making sure that it’s not just the one actress who has to go through each of the scenes. We’re looking for a very varied cast, and that should open things up considerably.”

Bentley originally wrote Miss America in early 2007, and admits that finding a publisher was difficult. “Several websites that I was already writing for turned it down outright, simply because it was so violent. I finally found one that would take it; we ran it in I think twelve installments, one few days, and it was interesting reading the reactions from readers as they got to the end of each part.

“The first responses were overwhelmingly negative, I don’t think I’ve ever been called the names, or accused of the things, that I was then. But people kept reading, and after three or four chapters, the mood of the comments began to shift and, by the end, people were loving it – not because of the sex, but because there is an underlying storyline that runs at a completely different angle; what happens to the story’s heroine physically is not at all the same as what is happening to her emotionally, and as she begins to understand that, and work with it, the readers ‘got it’ as well.”

Those first hate-filled diatribes did serve a purpose, however. “They showed me areas where the storyline was a little weak, so I was able to tighten it up. They also pointed out, although I don’t think they intended to, places where the sex could actually become even more extreme. For instance, the bukkake scene was quite tame compared with what I changed it to.”

In this form, Miss America made it onto the much-loved, and sadly-missed Ruthies Club website a couple of years ago, accompanied by some dramatic illustrations provided by the site’s stable of artists. There it became a serious cult hit and, following the site’s closure last year, Bentley had no difficulty in placing the story, as a full-length e-book, with Erotic Excursions. “It still hasn’t reached the market that I want it to,” she admits, “which would be a paperback that you could just pick up at the airport… I’m still not convinced that e-books are what the majority of readers are looking for, especially in the erotic field. Among my own books, paper is still outselling digital by a considerable margin.”

Format wars notwithstanding, Bentley currently has five books available –  Miss America is joined by Naughty Miranda, What I Did On My Summer Vacation, the supernatural thriller Below Blue London and the excellently titled Three Nuns and a Motorcycle, which she describes as “a cross between an anthology and a greatest hits album, I took the stories of mine that have had the best reaction on various on-line sites, mixed in some excerpts from the other books, and then added one new story.”

Available as a paperback, she calls it her “surprise best seller,” adding that it was one of the stories in Three Nuns, a tale of dark and dangerous frat boy misdoings called “Revenge,” that first placed her in the moviemakers’ line of sight. “Somebody at the studio read ‘Revenge’ after I posted it on my website, and got in touch to ask whether I had anything else like that. So I pointed him towards Miss America, not expecting to hear anything else, and got an e-mail back a week or two later demanding I let them film it.

Now in her late thirties, and a veteran of both the conventional and erotic publishing industry, Bentley knows that the first steps towards a finished movie are fraught with far more pitfalls than not… “so many people I know, writers who I’ve dealt with at work, or who I’ve met elsewhere, have been through this process, and very few of them have ever come out the other side with a DVD in their pocket. But Miss America is very dear to my heart, and it seems to strike a chord with everybody else who reads it as well, so I’m hopeful that something may come out of this. And if it doesn’t… well, I’ve got enough other projects to keep me busy; I’ll survive.”

These include completing a new anthology, based around the sexual misadventures of a pair of small-town Colorado college kids, Cousin Tom and Cousin Rosie… “although they’re not actually cousins,” Bentley confides; and another full-length novel, set in New York in the late 1960s, with the fires of both sexual and political revolution lighting up the campus dormitories. “Right now it’s called Love In A Time of Riot, although that’s just so I know what file to open when I start work every morning,” Bentley laughs. “I’ll let you know what it winds up being called, once I’ve finished it.”

We’ll be waiting!

70s Porn: Blue Vanities Presents …

70s Porn: Blue Vanities Presents Vintage Erotica.com – Volume One: The Biggest Selling 8mm Films of the 70s peepshow Era.

Launching, at last, the much anticipated upgrade of the Blue Vanities series of vintage porn loops, 70s Porn is a collection of thirteen 8mm films, remastered and sometimes re-sourced from the prints found elsewhere in the series, and looking better than you’ve ever seen any of them.  Indeed, for anybody who cares about the technical side of things, a short piece amongst the bonus features allows you to watch a split screen rendering of one film, with “before” and “after’ restoration side by side.  Other improvements include introductory shots of the original films’ box art (also viewable among the bonus features), a choice of audio – silent, or the authentic hum of an original projector; and the ability to skip easily from one loop to the beginning of another, or even select the films you want to watch from the menu.  Earlier BV discs, of course, ran as one long program.

The main feature kicks off with the drably-titled, but easily forgivable M81 and M82, a two part encounter between Eric Edwards, Linda Lovelace and an unknown brunette; to adopt the terminology beloved by Friends fans, this is “the one where Lovelace fucks herself silly with a pair of dildos, before her co-stars wander in to help her out.”  Of course, it’s also an opportunity to watch Lovelace demonstrate the skills that would later have her running for president, without having to sit through an hour of associated silliness, an area in which loops (and their stag forerunners) undoubtedly have the edge over full length features.

Supercock follows, the ever-delightful Linda McDowell entertaining John Holmes, who certainly lives up to the billing – only for Mr Foot Long to make even him look like the penis fairy forgot him.

Three installments from the Pretty Girls series are included here, featuring in turn “Terri from OUI magazine” (#81), Nancy Suiter (#55) and “the starlet” (#12), all acting out with unnamed male co-stars and all showing that there’s a lot more to their talents than simply looks.  Terri offers up a remarkable “don’t take your eyes away” style blowjob that must, in turn, have blown away anybody watching it at the time; a trick that Suiter will replicate from the comfort of a luxurious bubble bath.  Some great POV camera work here as well.

Linda McDowell and John Holmes reappear in Wild Beauty, a wonderfully relaxed 1971 Playmate feature which appears to have been shot as much for the cast’s own laughter and amusement as for the audience’s; and Holmes will be back again later, in 1976’s Hollywood Pick-up.  A pair of Vanessa Del Rio shorts, A Date With Vanessa and fever Pitch, meanwhile, remind us what a commanding presence she was on the seventies scene – and why.  Bepearled and high-heeled for much of the first film, she encourages her anonymous beau through the most enthusiastic bit of pussy-eating all disc long, then rewards him by lying back and demanding he fucks her mouth.  Elsewhere, Jungle Paul and Tawny Pearl are the hard-working heroes of a Connoisseur magazine loop, and Ron Jeremy gets blown halfway down the stairs in Cry Uncle, a 1981 Golden Girls production that will make you look at your banister in a whole new light.

Harry Reems is the visual hook of Tina Russell Makes Friends, if only by virtue of the shit-eating grin that he wears beneath an absurdly huge moustache and a bright red gat… and who can blame him, because Tina’s brought a friend along, and while one girl feeds him candies, the other gets to work on his candy cane.  And then, of course, they both do, and Reems keeps grinning the whole way through.  There was a man who loved his work, and no mistake; and here is a disc that you’ll be enjoying just as much.  Oh, and just in case you ever need reminding how fortunate we are to have collections like this to hand, a couple of the original film boxes illustrated as the film moves on have their recommended retail price printed as part of the artwork.  Fifty bucks a pop, for a fifteen-minute 8mm.  Forget about encountering Mr Foot Long in unexpectedly close quarters – that really makes the eyes water!
