In the Porn Library Archives #1

Recently, I set out to read and reread, watch and rewatch, and view and review The Porn Library archives. I started by rereading Evan Wright’s “Scenes From My Life in Porn,” published by The LA Weekly in 2000.

Here’s an excerpt:

“I experienced a sense of numbness on Jasmin’s set — as I would on many others — that I can only compare to accounts I have read of combat. It was the sense of being in a group of people deliberately and methodically engaged in acts of insanity. Unlike in combat, I was not overwhelmed by the horror of it, but by the grand-scale stupidity, which crystallized that day as I stood by the craft-services cart. Boiled hot dogs on cold, white buns were being dispensed. A man next to me politely passed the mustard. The bottle was sticky with K-Y Jelly. I never attempted to eat on a porn shoot again.”
