did you read his long article in the guardian a few weeks back on the LA porn scene? you can find it still if you go to www.newsunlimited.co.uk and search for martin amis & LA porn in the search engine.
what did you think of what he says? just as anti-porn as the hardcore c4 show, or do you think he gives a wider perspective?

I didn't understand this 'Mister Monster' reference.(erect penis?) He didn't like Andrew Blakes work? (he must be sick).
' last paragraph of piece by Martin Amis
Porno people: they've changed. In the yard of the house on Dolorosa Drive, during a break in filming, Chloe, Artie and Lola stood there naked, discussing a new rollercoaster ride called Desperado. They were all smoking. I came across many a good little smoker in pornoland. What with the risks they run already, who cares about smoking? Then it was butts out and back to work. And I do mean work. Porno is a proletarian form. And porno people are a hard-grafting, ill-paid fraternity who, by and large, look out for each other and help each other through. They pay their rent, with the deaths of feelings.
No, Chloe, you are not a prostitute, not quite. Prostitution is the oldest profession. And porno is the newest profession. You are more like a gladiator: a contemporary gladiator. Of course, the gladiators were slaves - but some of them won their freedom. And you, I think, will win yours.

Re: attn layla jade re martin amis on LA
OK? my opinion was requested? so here it is?
I think that the piece was interesting, however I wouldn?t necessarily say, that he gave a wider perspective? just (to be honest) a much wordier one, one of which, that during some parts, I almost lost track of what he was saying... as I didn?t have my dictionary to hand
Truthfully though, at the end of the day, I am first and foremost an erotic, adult entertainer... and as such, I feel I have a valid and balanced view upon the industry both in the UK, and the USA, from a hands on, personal, first person perspective... It is upon these credentials, which I draw my opinions from?
At the same time though, for me to pretend that I am a regular ?Guardian Reader?, (with a degree in sociology / psychology) would in truth, be a laughable claim for me to make.
As I can only speak from my own personal experience, as such, I can only reiterate that in porno (as in most things in life) there are many, many, many, different people, each with many, many, many, different stories to tell, and with many, many many, different view points?.
I personally believe, that if any female decides to go into pornography As did I? AS A CAREER DECISION, WITH HER EYES WIDE OPEN... (Although there is very little point in her perusing this idea if she is only in it for the money and does not enjoy sex) Then there should be no reason that she shouldn?t stand a chance of success and of making it such as I have done, however, if as undeniably (we have to conclude) there are many other reasons for which girls enter this business, then some can, and will make a success of it? nonetheless some others...will by default? be less fortunate...and possibly end up to be the subject of documentary?s and / or discussions upon this forum !
So, in conclusion?
Do I think he gives a wider perspective? ??? YES?
(But only because he talks to more than one girl?)
Do I think you can draw a better conclusion from this piece than the Channel 4 documentary ??? NO?
(Cause its really a case of each to there own? )
Final Line ???
Live And Let Live? Cause Life?s To Short, Anyway? Im tired and off to bed now?
Nighty-night-nights?
