Mom and Pop Porn, "How Suburban America Nearly Took Over the Adult Industry", is my story told over fifteen years. I have spent the past fifteen years running two different home based adult studios. The first was a miserable failure where I was squeezed out by credit card clearing companies and the mob, and the second put out over 800 exclusive titles after starting on a shoe string budget of $2,000 and Walmart bought VCRs. I had the very first "Internet only/started" adult studio that actually crossed over and obtained mass distribution in the real world. This book describes those fifteen years, my battles with the government, the government's assault on the industry through the John Ashcroft years, my search for distribution, and the many funny stories of dealing with the public as they submitted their homemade adult videos to be sold by my company.
It also tells the story of how the adult industry is no longer the image most people think of. It is not a guy that looks like Ron Jeremy standing at a bus stop in a trench coat waiting for Midwestern girls to get off the next bus so that he can fill them with cocaine and exploit them. It is now moms and dads, regular people, your relatives, friends, and neighbors. I tell how these people worked from spare bedrooms and kitchen tables just to bring people a new "grass roots" style of pornography. We gave the mainstream adult industry and the government a run for their money. This is all true, and I honestly hope you enjoy it! Please keep in mind, I was a pornographer, not a seasoned writter!
