The article is quite amusing and led me to notice that the aforementioned news paper has a special url that leads to the most recent "adult" article. I'm going to do the rare-for-me linking-of-the-url here to demonstrate: http://www.latimes.com/porn. Now isn't that a sign o' the times?
On a typical day, when filming can stretch on for 14 hours, Bune will strip down and have sex in front of a camera crew as many as three times. During busy times, he might work five days a week. There is nothing funny I can say here, nothing at all... no wait, "stretch on"! Heh. Heh, heh.
It's a grueling schedule, and Bune has popped so many blue diamond-shaped Viagra pills that one film director said some crew members have teased him about his "blue tongue." "I don't think men should be ashamed that they do use it," said Bune, who often relies on Viagra for film shoots. "I'm not ashamed of it. People know that I use it. It doesn't make me any less of a man or a person."
Whoa there, buddy. Too defensive!
With the current hectic pace of film production, some actors are taking the pill for every shoot, turning the industry into an unwitting mass experiment for Viagra usage. Yeah, they should at least get paid if they are going to prostitute their bodies to science.
"I put Viagra right up there with the polio vaccine, as far as making my job easier," said director Michael McCormick of Metro Productions. My God! How many fuck-stars have we lost to polio over the years? I thought the big fears were AIDS and suicide, when did polio start knocking them off? <music>Polio killed the por-orno star, Viagra came and broke your heart</music>
"It's like giving growth hormones to kids who do not have a growth deficiency, but their parents want them to be bigger to play basketball," said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of the Washington-based Public Citizens Health Research Group. No it is not. That is children being abused by their brainwashed parents who think modern pills can cure anything. You fucking doctors taught their grandparents that with penicillin for every runny nose and valium for every anxiety. And now ritalin for TV-addled. These are adults juicing themselves up for a job. If anything it is like stereoid abuse. Oh yeah, and "growth deficiency" Huh huh, huh. Heh.
Indeed, even the most virile men have an off day. Bune said he uses Viagra whenever a scene lasts more than an hour or if he has to don a condom "because I just can't work with them." Whores, fine. Strap-ons, fine. Cum-shots and latex and spankings, fine. People watching, fine. Rubbers, eek! That makes sense to me.
Small budgets mean small paychecks, particularly for male actors who typically rank at the bottom of the payroll food chain. The industry has long been dominated by women, whose bodies and faces are what sell an ocean of sex tapes to a predominantly male audience. They can often choose the male actors they will work with--and blackball the ones they will not. Audience participation time! Run with this: "Blackball..."
Male actors broke into the business through a process of natural selection that weeded out the vast majority of wannabes who failed the difficult test of becoming aroused on command. Years of begging it to go down before anyone noticed you'd popped one when the teacher bent over finally takes it toll.
One result of this harsh Darwinism was that actors who could perform like Superman were often a far cry from looking like Christopher Reeve. They could stand up on command but couldn't perform. Exactly the opposite of Mr. Reeve. Still, I'm sure he appreciates the comparison.
"If you want me--you want Ron Jeremy--you wait two or three minutes. You still get a good scene," Jeremy said, scoffing at the thought of using the drug. <music>Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't knead me</music>.
Even directors grumble about what the drug has done to the "art" of hard-core films, such that it is. Instead of being "physically honest," Viagra has helped turn actors into sex robots, said director Chi Chi LaRue. Seriously, you'd have put "art" and "physically honest" in quotes too. The guy's name is Chi Chi LaRue, after all. And If any thing is turning them into sex robots wouldn't that be mechanical parts like dildos, breast enlargements, vibrators? At the very least you have to guess that the "sex robot" drug of choice is likely still heroin or cocaine or meth or something. Chi Chi. Heh.
