The Porn Collector

To quote the word of Barry W Blaustein "I don't know why I like, I just always have". Barry was referring to the world of wrestling when he said these words in the opening of the controversial wrestling documentary Beyond The Mat. This phrase captures perfectly my relationship with porn, I don't know what it is about these blue movies but I enjoy them.... most of them any ways. Please, let me state from the get go I am not sat at home all day watching them, downloading the lustful lovelies I can be waiting all day and sometimes all week for a film but not watching porn isn't that big I don't think, probably watch about six hours a week. Most of that is out of boredom to be honest. 

I have always loved the controversal side of life, the strange characters on TV who flip the finger at the status quo and ballsy enough to say "Fuck it, I'll do it my way", I am one of them people. Not to the point of saying fuck everyone else, I'm very much about embracing everyone else and leaving myself on the outside, but I was never a "Normal" cool kid with friends and girlfriends and popularity and the latest clothing. Nah, I was the wired one that would freak every one else out because I was so unlike them, hence being bullied chronicly through school, and even outside of school by cousins and brothers. We've all grown up and it all water under the bridge but I'm still an oddity and I fucking love it! and those who really know me love it too. But I'm still the cheerleader for the controversal folk, more often than not they are terriably misunderstood or misrepresented by the media or folk tales. Alister Crowley, Anton Levey, Liam Cole , Gaga all these iconic figers of pop culter piss the world off without ever meaning to, just the media know how to press the buttons of the public.

SLAMMED 2012: Jon Phelps (left) Keirsn (right)

Take Liam Cole, the British director of  Treasure Island Media the world most controversial adult entertainment studio today, when he released SLAMMED in September 2012, he was slammed and slatted and shunned like never before. But the people seemed to be missing the point (ironicly). Slammed showcases the antics of Jon Phelps and Kieran (no last name, just Kieran) on some form of substance which is administered through a needle. Yup, this is a chem sex, pnp, drug film.... or is it. Cole never shows the actual drug use, we never Kieran pushing on the needles plunger or snapping off the arm band, and we are never quite sure what is actually in there although it a safe assumption that it is crystal meth. Its all hinted and suggested but the critics of the movie was up in arms "Cole is glorifying the use of drugs!!!!". No he wasn't in fact Cole states that was never the intention. Cole's intention was to document and capture what happens with "sex on chems" which seems to be incredibly popular at the time and still is. Drugs themselves he couldn't care less about, its how they effect sexual activities that captured his and the viewers imagination and curiosity. God bless Cole for having the guts to do it, and fair play, regardless of your stance of drug usage, you have to admit this a crazy but courageous move to produce and stand by that film, and its a masterpiece, potentially timeless and probably still relevant and repulsive 50 years from now as it is today.And this is why I adore and admire guys like Cole who walk into the centre of the world of status quo normality and acceptability and shake it up. Makes life a little more colourful and furthermore, these controversial   visitors cause us to sit down and re think everything we have ever known and from there we either reaffirm our beliefs and thoughts and morals and ethics and politics or we realise how futile they have become in the change of the times and eradicate them. 

(Alister Crowley)

Anton LeVay

OK, so Cole really doesn't have that big an impact on philosophical human thought (although sometimes a moral compass is still needed to navigate ones way through his films from time to time) but look at Levey and Crowley who turned Occult theory on their heads and pointed out some of the flaws in it foundational doctrine and when they challenged the normality of their day they get branded as evil people. Crowley is a difficult one, my personal stance is he had the capacity to be an absolute genius and respectable and heeded if his drug usage (which is a different thing back in the early parts of 20th century) didn't pickle his brain and his ego being too big to handle and the who Scotland episode where he abandoned a strict six month occult discipline and ritual just to get his ego stroked wasn't Any help and I believe a major event in his madness. Levey, who many see as picking up when Crowley left of, wasn't a drug using mad man, but a smart deep thinker who read the literature of Crowley and other magical writings, took a step back, saw the bigger picture and documented his thoughts and theories in "The Satanic Bible" which isn't as malicious or cruel as one might first think (Again, because the media has misrepresented and misquoted him) but is a fabulous philosophical text to read. 

I begrudgingly tip my hat to Martin Luther the reformer who stood up and challenged the authority and theology of the Catholic church 16th Century. Even to return to the wrestling world, Paul Heyman in the 90s shook up a dormant wrestling industry with Extreme Championship Wrestling with its violent matches and risky storyline of lesbianism and with the Sandman's real life son denying any relationship to him. Controversy is everywhere in all forms of life but what more controversial, more dividing, more debated that the world of adult entertainment and pornography? you either love it or you hate it, there is no fence to sit on. The Video Nastys of the 1980's in Britain caused a stir, but that faded away and now folk look back and ask "what was the problem again?" but Porn will never lose the ability to entice and disgust and that's why I like it, no other form of media has the ability to do it,

The Porn Collector blog is a bunch of writings from myself on my views and opinion on the world of Porn, offering reviews, thoughts, fantasies, rants and raves on the world of Adult Entertainment, Why write it in a blog? Didn;t I mention I was bored? 25 and unemployed and fuck am I going to be stuck in a dead in job which I loathe, life is way too short for that and when the right job comes  up then hopefully I'll get it but between now and then, I'll enjoy this fleeting thing called life which passes by all too quickly. And porn is my not so guilty pleasure.

Welcome to my world
