An account of the pornography business, this book examines the organization of the industry, the businessmen who profit from it, and the written and unwritten codes by which it is controlled. It shows the relationship between the film industry and pornography, discussing how porn has fitted into the film industries of countries worldwide, especially Hollywood.
This is the definitive book on the porno industry. It is the only book written by a serious journalist, not some porno fan dying to meet the stars. Gaffin kept his distance and fairly and accurately describes what he saw and what he experienced. This book covers stars, directors, producers, distributors. He spent time with the LAPD Vice Squad. He met with the grand daddy who set up the entire porno industry Reuben Sturmen. He met with all the top companies owners. Critics want a whitewash to talk about how exciting everyone is. Gaffin tells it straight. And with humor. Hats off to the guy and the book. Fantastic job.
