"The acceptability of porn has come about by lad/laddette culture"
Ah yes, the awful 'laddette culture'. A lot of other things have come about by this enlightened culture too - like sobbing, shrieking, paralytic, girls rolling around in town centre gutters of an evening. Like moronic chavy geezers trashing A & E departments and beating up the doctors and nurses that are trying to treat their drink related wounds. Not to mention cultural horrors like - 'Big Brother' and 'Celebrity Pop Tarts' etc.
"Like it or not, if things were the same as they were 20 years, which is what some seem to want, the appeal of porn would be a lot more limited than it is"
I believe the converse to be true. There was always a very strong, vigorous, undercurrent of desire for porn. Much of the male public was gagging for it, but they just couldn?t quite seem to get it. The top shelf mags were leading them on. They were in a state of both arousement and frustration - like they were being led on by a metaphorical 'cock teaser'. And of course, as in real life cock teasing situations, when they did get ?a bit? they were all the more satisfied and appreciative of it. The market then wasn?t smaller, it was probably larger ? nowadays a lot of potential porn watchers are sated, bored and turned off by it ? it was just that porn consumption was much more private back then. No one wanted to admit to it, it was a deliciously secret vice. Indeed, it was taboo, and looking back, all the better for it.
Yes, there were far fewer girls ?doing it? but then again those who did do it were far more appealing and attractive to Joe Average than today's typical chavy laddette. Personally, I've always favoured quality over quantity.
?Hence there'd be fewer of you lot making a living from it!?
Which would suit some of us fine. Hey, we know we can?t go back, we accept that, but just allow us the luxury of pointing out how crap some things have turned out.

"lad/laddette coulture has not made porn acceptable, its just made it more available."
Quite. Porn is no more acceptable to yer poncy, left of centre, hand wringing, middleclass, BBC presenter and journalist than it was when they pretentiously adopted all the "porn is abuse, porn demeans wimmin'" bollocks, back in their uni days. Many of them get seriously sniffy at the merest mention of male sexual desire.

Which brings us, again, to what is or isn't chav, and who is or isn't.
It's a trendy term used by all and sundry, originally to mock the underclass, which is fair game to me. However it now seems to extend to anyone who watches ITV, buys a paper that isn't a broadsheet, goes on a package holiday, has an evening out in a town centre and has a few, blah blah blah.
We can sneer at the majority of people and their sheeplike ways, but the term "Chav" is going to mean less and less if people start labelling everybody one... Are we talking about the underclass and their inbred ways or are we talking about the populist public??
And to make it more topical, is every bgafd actress with a tattoo, shaven haven or whatever a "chav". The way some of the forumites talk, they must disapprove of 95% of the shows/films made in the last 5 years, and also disapprove of 95% of the actresses.....

We should always take every opportunity to mock the naff and the crap. That is the way that, as a society, we can change attitudes and behaviour. Its uncomfortable having the finger pointed at you and derided, people tend to go out of their way to avoid that. The reason there is so much antisocial activity at the moment is that no one in government, local government, and serious journalism, is coming out and publicly branding those responsible, morons, scrubbers, losers, wankers, divs and knobheads - Yes, I know the Daily Mail leans in that direction, but no one takes it seriously because they think that is just the Mail's stage act.
Regarding the question of what is chaism. I think we should regard it more of a cultural phenomena than a clearly defined group of people. There are very many people whose appearance and manner just shriek hardcore chav. But there are many more who, like you say, might only subscribe to a few peripheral aspects of popular chav culture. But maybe we shouldn't get hung up on those differences? Maybe we should just say he or she looks like a chav, or is behaving like a chav?
"Are we talking about the underclass and their inbred ways or are we talking about the populist public??"
Well, both really, the cult of chavism encompasses all of the afor mentioned.
"And to make it more topical, is every bgafd actress with a tattoo, shaven haven or whatever a "chav". The way some of the forumites talk, they must disapprove of 95% of the shows/films made in the last 5 years, and also disapprove of 95% of the actresses..."
Chavism and eroticism are chalk and cheese, they?re incompatible. I don't believe they can co-exist. I've already said that I haven?t really enjoyed any Brit porn flick since the turn of the millennium (indeed I find them hard work to sit through) and I've also already said that I've pretty much knocked erotic program making on the head because I just can't summon up any kind of interest or enthusiasm to work with chavy birds.

I don't blame you. Why not join the exodus to Eastern Europe where the models look like...

Whoa! She looks like a 'Martini girl' or the 'Lamb's girl', Caroline Monroe, and what about these -
It's like the 70's and 80's all over again.
Yeah, we've all talked about going to Eastern Europe - even Terry's been. It looks like it's he only option left if you want to make movies for a global market with the sort of ladies who look like they've stepped off the set of a classic James Bond movie. It's a shame; we had equally beautiful, classy, and desirable ladies on our doorstep in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

Yes she is pretty special! I like the analogy of the girls looking like they've stepped out of a James Bond film set, the sexy accent adds further to the "Femme Fatale" appeal. That phenomenal redhead, Sonya, was the first Hungarian model I shot on day one of my first ever trip to Budapest and then on day two....
(Sorry I can't get these links to "Click")
In fact they say a picture is worth a thousand words so there you have it, the problem with UK porn is that you haven't got models like.....

Yes! Some mighty fine looking women there too. Much agreed. Alas, we're not likely too have the types of models you adhere to for several factors, stemming from financial. It wouldnt matter if you paid British girls a lot more money because you would never have the market to recoup your investment. Next, the kind of Brit girl most people would love to see do porn wouldnt do it because she would be an FHM/ Maxim type model who would frown upon such a thing, even if it was classy porn and any other intermediates who aren't privileged to get this high up in the echelons of modelling would end up in the US of A frowning on what shit conditions she has to work with in the UK. Maybe we should all accept Britporn for what it really is then and just go over seas but then I feel there will always be a big enough appetite for Brits and "chav" type porn.
Mind you, hasnt there always been a thing for blokes (and girls) who fancy a bit of rough? I think we used to refer to them as "common as muck". I think the problem is, as I've stated before; there is too much of the same old, same old performing with the same regular faces in similar combinations coming out title after title in a market place that isn't big enough commercially with pirates making it worse...and there are still new producers trying to get in and make a name for themselves. These are trying times indeed for the pornographer

Errrm actually I had an Oxbridge education (though not private
school). Don't think I have any homo/lesbian/pedo thoughts, but
I've always loved porn since finding my Dad's copies of Mayfair
and Men Only (incidentally he was a BBC presenter...). Maybe
my warped brain now manifests itself in liking anal and
watersports
