Interracial

Jewel DeNyle posts on ADT:

I could care less about color but when you make a movie you must be very specific on what it is for the buyers. A distributor will call up and ask do you have any new interracial titles, lesbian titles, Anal etc…. So that’s why we have the different niches.

First they’ll ask what type of movie it is Interracial, Lesbian, Anal, etc… Then they ask who the cast is. And you have to remember there is a flood of talent these days not like it use to be to where a distributor can call up and ask for a specific girl anymore as there is just to many of them and they cannot remember who’s who like they use to when there were only a handful of us girls working. So now it’s down to what type of movie and if anyone with any sort of recognition is in the movie. Mostly any AVN award winners aside from that they don’t know the girls.

You may not buy anything that says interracial but unfortunately it has to be sold that way as it’s very important to the buyers of the product who distribute it. As Europe/Asia aren’t big on interracial porn and won’t buy it often but it flies off the shelf in the states so it does matter to the buyer and if you aren’t behind the scenes it’s hard for you to understand. That’s why you see MILF, Cream Pie, Anal, Asian, Latin etc…. All separated so the distributor knows what kind of movies sell the best in different parts of the world it’s a business and has to be broken down to appease everyone.

Almost all my movies have black guys in them and aren’t labeled interracial. The only time a movie gets labeled interracial is when every scene is interracial and that’s important for the buyers to know so they can market it. It has nothing to do with race etc… it all has to do with where the buyer is going to sell it and to what part of the world. For instance Cream pies fly off the shelf in europe but interracial porn doesn’t. Here Interracial porn flies off the shelf more then an all anal movie. It’s all about marketing and I think most of you are reading to much into this. It’s a business and it’s how we make or living time is money product is money we have to label movies to separate them for the buyer as some buyers won’t buy movies with ATMs, Choking, Cream Pies and others that’s all they want. Diffent stores around the world sell diffent sorts of product and they must know what they are getting.

Scott McGowan writes on EyeOnAdult.com: “I think that our whole view on interracial porn proves that we still choose to define ourselves in an extremely archaic way…black men in these movies are both portrayed and accepted to be somehow less than human…”

All the arguments Scott makes against interracial porn — that it is degrading, etc — could just as validly be made against all porn. All porn relies on degradation (the difference between Vivid and Rob Black is only degree) and stereotyping (that women are insatiable to give oral sex, etc)…

You show me a sex scene without degradation, hostility and stereotyping (be the sex filmed or private) and I’ll show you a limp sex scene.

In Psychiatrist Robert Stoller’s 1970 essay “Pornography and Perversion”, he argues that porn – the erotic daydream translated into words or pictures – is “the highly condensed story of [the perverse subject’s] perversion: it’s historical origins in reality, its elaborations in fantasy, its manifest content which disguises and reveals the latent content.”

What makes the use of pornography technically perverse for the Freudian Stoller is that it indicates a persistent “preference for a genitally stimulating exciting act [anal sex?] which is not heterosexual intercourse.”

At the heart of all perversions, including pornography, is “a fantasied act of revenge which condenses a life history – memory and fantasies, traumas, frustrations and joys. The perversion of pornography, which provides restitution for men, comes in different genres, each created for a specific perverse need by exact attention to detail and each defining an area of excitement that will have no effect on a different man.”

According to Stoller, an essential quality of both perversion and pornography is sadism, or revenge for a passively experienced trauma. Thus, for example, the fantasy or act of “poisoning or humiliating one’s partner with ejaculate” or of causing physical damage to someone by one’s phallic onslaught functions to convert sexual trauma into triumph. Stoller speculates that the patterns of sexual excitement of nonperverse people may contain mechanisms converting sexual trauma to triumph not unlike those purportedly at work in perversions such as transvestism. (Arthur J. Mielke, Christians, Feminists, And The Culture Of Pornography.)

In his essay,”Transvestites’ Women”, Stoller examines the connection between the erotic interests of many male transvestites in representations of phallic or cruelly beautiful women and these men’s perceptions that the women in their lives who are sexually important possess all the power. These women – the mothers, sisters, girl friends and wives – have in common the “fear of and need to ruin masculinity.”

The feminists are right, says Stoller, that male heterosexual porn insults women. But it insults men too, showing their need to be cruel and marking their failure to relate better to live females. Men abuse women because they are uncertain, fearful, angry and envious. “Erotic daydreams in pornography represent fantasies of revenge in which the consumer imagines he is degrading women. Men fetishize – dehumanize – women to be erotically stimulated.

“Although sexual excitement is experienced as an automatic, uncomplicated, natural (with implications both of biology and theology) phenomenon, it is dense with meanings at all levels of awareness.” (Dr. Robert Stoller)

Dr. Joseph Slade writes: “Like happiness, eroticism is at best measured in moments. Buried deep, or carried near the surface of the psyche, our particular fantasies are colored by respect for certain powerful taboos, against which we calibrate those moments. While we ordinarily violate these taboos mentally, in secret, as expressions of our personal sexuality, some of these forbidden longings we share with others. Formulaic patterns fix, compress, and intensify such fantasies: they become models for erotic moments….People respond to certain patterns of behavior more readily than to others…. Members of the raincoat brigade sit through hours of trash in search for a formula that especially gratifies them. Behind the hokum and hackwork, they may find moments of eroticism authentic for them, some set that fits, or they may not; but hope would seem to spring eternal, for they return again and again.” (Joseph Slade, Movie Artifacts, 1982, Nelson Hall Publishers, 111 N. Canal Street, Chicago, IIlinois, 60606.)

Dr. Robert Stoller agreed with feminists that in porn “there is always a victim, no matter how disguised: no victim, no pornography.” The scripts of men’s pornography as well as women’s (which Stoller identifies as romance novels) contain themes of hostility. “For most people most of the time, a touch of cruelty may be a trace element in erotic fantasy.” Women are not exempt from his claim that “humans are not a very loving species and this is especially so when they make love.”

Porn creates an arena where someone dominates and someone submits. Authors as diverse as Normal Mailer and Gael Greene, Henry Miller and Erica Jong, remind us that this is the essence of eroticism. In a letter to Club magazine, an avid viewer of pornos wrote: “It’s reflected glory… When I see pictures of John Holmes’ superb 12″ dick in full erection I feel proud of my sex; it’s like my team winning at football.”

“Fear is the other side of domination,” writes Slade. “it sharpens the tension which shapes the pornographic response.

“Female sexuality endangers male order. As with football, as with high-noon showdowns in Laredo, as with primitive rites, there must be rules, formulas and codes and cliches, to circumscribe and contain potential anarchy.”

Dr. Robert Stoller believed in significant differences in the way men and women become aroused. Men, heterosexual and gay, focus on body parts and make them into fetishes while women, heterosexual and lesbian, look more at personality. They are more psychic than anatomical. These dramatic differences in male and female arousal appear to Stoller to be “insoluble. Maybe if the need for orgasm, once excitement is instilled, were always as driven in females as in males or as bearable in males as in females, the two sexes would understand each other better.”
