This forum is intended for the discussion and sharing of information on the topic of British born and British-based female performers in hard-core adult films and related matters.
I would just like to add my thoughts to this thread. I obviously don't know either Ben or Marino but both always came across as decent guys during the scenes. Although Pascal is the 'bonking Belgian' and very good at it I always preferred the scenes with Marino. You always added a touch of comedy to the proceedings and imo helped to sell Ben's products. I will always like Ben Dover films but fear he may have lost his way especially as he seems to have gone more Americanised. It's such a shame that things turned out this way and after putting in so much hard work, you have been 'backstabbed'. I hope you two can work things out in the future and good look with the Road Trips Marino. I was a subscriber to your old Superdick website and the material on there was top notch.
Is a shame to see what has happened as I think they have both done superb things for the adult film market.
I like Ben's movies, always have done but Marino has featured in most of my favourite scenes. One of those being with Georgette Neale and "the woman who shall remain nameless"
I have to say I have stuck with Marino due to the points mentioned above since his movement away from Ben Dover. The Away Days take the best elements of the scenes from Ben and seem to be in complete Marino control - which is of course always a good thing.
If one good thing to come out of not working with Ben so much is that you forged your own niche with the away days well then I for one am happy to be honest. I have re-signed to the away days site twice now purely as support to the cause (and namely because Marino indulged in an act of kindness which I won't repeat on here for fear people will bombard him with mails. To him I assume it was a very simple gesture but it spoke volumes for the man in my eyes...)
I grew up with Ben and Marino from a highly porn addicted kid to an even more addicted grown man.
I doff my cap to you sir for all your work.
I do also think the Bonking Belgian is a top man, have always thought he was hilarious.
