The interviews just continue to get better. The porn industry tends to be dominated by white men, a lot of whom couldn't get jobs in other industries, (felons, uneducated, etc.), and yet I'm finding a LOT of college grads among my black subjects. I did about eight interviews today (about thirty minutes each) and I'm really glad I chose this topic for my fourth book. There's nothing like peeling back what you think you know about people and then showing who they really are. But this weekend is just the beginning. I have six months of research before I start writing.
BTW, the folks who kind of creep me out are not the people in the biz, but the fans. The fans in porn are like fans in sports, or entertainment, etc., but there's something weird about a guy wanting to put his face in a porn star's silicone breasts, and then have his buddy take a picture. Where do you show that picture? To the fam at Thanksgiving? On the coffee table next to the kids? But then again, I may be too much uptight. One of my subjects said I had to loosen up a bit. Easy for her to say. She was wearing a thong and pasties.

What the hell is "Booble"? Is that a search engine for Internet porn?
You got it! Kinda clever, if you think about it.
