There’s been a bit of controversy stirred up by none other than our little hillbilly pal down in Georgia, Mike South. He posted a blog yesterday talking about porn stars not writing their own columns. Here’s what South had to say:

Now we have publicists though who write what are really press releases and advertisements in the name of their contract girls, I have yet to read Bree Olsen’s column in Genesis Magazine but I will bet my last dollar she doesn’t write a word of it, Ditto columns written under Jesse Janes name, let’s be honest here if these pornchicks could write they wouldn’t be porn chicks.

This comment from Mike stemmed a retort of sorts (if you can call it that) over at LukeFord.com where the “if I get on a chair and scream in WordPress setting for ‘Heading 1,’ someone might hear me” blogger at that site, Ryan Rayzer, had this to say:

Why is Mike South calling Jesse Jane a fraud? How does he know she doesn’t write her own shit? And even if she doesn’t, why call her out on it? What’s he have against her to try and harm her reputation? Same with Bree Olson? But here is the best line of them all from his little rant ….

let’s be honest here if these pornchicks could write they wouldn’t be porn chicks

That line speaks volumes about his feelings towards the women in this industry and it’s to bad really because I’ve met some smart ass bitches in this business that have no problem writing their own shit.

Guess what Rayzer, you just called them “bitches.” That’s a real compliment! Don’t worry, though. I promise, I won’t call you stupid, Ryan.

AND LukeIsBack.com’s Darrah Ford (is she married to Luke? lol), who guests there from PornStarBabylon, also put in her two cents on the subject and contacted us for a quote from Bree about her writing prowess.

First, let me say that by no means are these girls stupid. They’re both intelligent and anyone would see that if they spent a few minutes speaking with them in a reality setting. Porn in general has a lot of intelligent women in it. I would say the ratio I have encountered who are smart versus the dumb ones isn’t any worse than any other profession. Hell, I think the majority are smarter than most in other facets of the industry.

Now to set the record straight on the main subject at hand, and that is, “do porn stars write their own columns?” I know that if you read either of these diatribes on the twin “Luke” sites, you wouldn’t be able to tell that’s what the issue was, but let’s get back to the heart of the matter.

The answer is, at least with the publications I head up, mostly a yes. I’ll explain, so stick with me here. For the columns, I will go on record and tell you that for the most part, the girls in these magazines do write and/or contribute to their own columns. Do they write 100% of what you see? Some do. Is what you see in print verbatim from what they have submitted? Some or most. Stormy as an example is a very accomplished writer. She writes the screenplays for many of Wicked’s movies. Jenna Haze is answering the questions posed to her in our advice column in her own words. Tera submits her columns via her personal email. She might have an assistant or someone type as she dictates, but they are her thoughts and words. Bree might not totally write her column, but she helped develop the original concept, and they are her fantasies coming to life with her thoughts and ideas in them as relayed to the write. And I can honestly tell you that Jesse Jane has sat there for countless hours in front of her computer and written various things that have appeared in our publications over the years.

We, and I mean that as anyone working within the adult industry, sell fantasy. It’s the nature of the biz. How many guys are convincing their girlfriends to perform a DP? How many couples are jetting off to a tropical paradise and having sex under a waterfall with a beautiful girl like Jesse Jane or Tera Patrick? How many 50-year-old men are bedding down a barely legal girl like Bree Olson? Getting facials or anal?

Porn is fuckin’ fantasy people, so why try to explain it? Do you watch a movie like Girls Taking it Up the Ass #194 and say, “Wait a second? I didn’t see her do an enema or say ‘ouch’ or ‘take it easy’ once before she took an eight inch cock in her ass!” It’s fuckin’ fantasy people. If you do, you’re also probably one of those guys that sit behind me during a Superman movie and ask why he didn’t just wear a lead suit so he can be totally impervious to Kryptonite. You’re also then one of those guys I want to elbow right in the grill.

How many guys jerked off to a “Forum” letter? Did you wonder while you were strokin’ it that maybe some 6′5″, 240 lb., goateed and tattooed, 40-year-old ugly mutha wrote the damn thing or did the 5′5″, 110 lb., cute, girl next door who is 19 years old and has a shaved smooth pussy who got willingly double teamed in the dorm really write it? Some questions are best left unanswered. The other question would be that if choice “A” wrote it, are you gay because you came? But that’s a whole other debate

I went off on a bit of a rant, but let’s get back to the main question here. In the past we have had porn star columnists that have included Taylor Wane, Houston, Jasmin St. Claire and Carmen Luvana. We presently have Tera Patrick, Bree Olson, Jenna Haze and Gina Lynn contributing to Genesis and Stormy Daniels in Velvet. I also want to mention that girls like Jesse Jane, Joanna Angel, Sunny Lane and others have contributed stories/articles/whatever in the past as well.

These same concepts apply to a biography. Yes, people use ghost writers, but is it less them because they used a different adjective to describe something? Are they “stupid” because maybe someone else put their ideas and experiences on paper? That’s a resounding “no.” If a star does an interview for a mag, but she didn’t type it out, is it less her? Is it less her that a writer put it into a narrative form, rather a question or answer format? Politicians, athletes, celebrities, etc. have speech writers for press conference statements or quotes in releases and bios. Their message is getting across regardless of who wrote them.

We have used tons of contributing writers over the years from various walks of life for various written works — porn stars, housewives, moonlighting comedians and accountants, and “writers” with masters degrees from major universities in English. I can’t remember one of them that didn’t go to a copy editor and come back untouched for both content and grammatical corrections.

So to sum all this up, yes they write their own columns in some way, shape or form, at least in my mags.
