Housewife, Courtesan, Hustler, Whore
During every interview, the same question: “Are porn stars all hustlers?”
My answer: “Yep, but who isn’t really?”
Porn stars are just more open about the whole thing. They’re whores, yes, but at least they’re honest.
You call, they come, you cum, you pay, they leave, you’re satisfied.
No mink coats, no stupid jewelry, no need to pretend there’s anything here but an agreement between two consenting adults. A Demigod sleeping with a mortal for a few hundred dollars, where’s the harm in that?
Wives sleep with their husbands for things, their fees are just cheaper. A blowjob if he agrees to take out the trash. In the immortal words of Venus Xtravaganza in Paris is Burning, "If a woman, a real woman, is married in the suburbs, and she wants her husband to buy her a washer and dryer set, in order for him to buy that, I'm sure she'd have to go to bed with him anyway to give him what he wants, in order for her to get what she wants." But it’s not just boring housewives really.
Maria Callas (left, with Onassis), the famous and beautiful Soprano fucked Aristotle Onassis for 12 years. I doubt it was for his looks or his charming personality.
Then Jackie (right, also with Onassis), one of the most beautiful women in the world packed her bags and got on a plane to Athens, for the architecture I’m sure. I know it’s unsettling to think of the Queen of Camelot that way, a common whore. The funny thing is she, not unlike porn stars, was fine with it. Her marriage to Aristotle was a clear business transaction. Her most famous quote: “The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.” Think she read that in a book somewhere?
And then there’s Di. Oh, the lovely princess who fell out of grace when she met Dodi, her daddy (Di and Dodi are pictured below left). A man so rich, even God owed him money. A woman who could have had anyone she wanted, went for one ugly fuck. Was it his intellect? His 12-inch cock? Nope, I think we can all agree it was probably his daddy’s credit card and a few department stores in downtown London.
So please, let’s not limit ourselves to calling porn stars whores. It’s a glass world out there. Besides, we’re in good company don’t you think?
Love, Michael

As I always say. "We're all a whore to something, darling."

wow...you really are an ugly human being. I mean you are sexy (not good looking mind you, sexy) on a physical level, and the broken english is somewhat cute (heard you try to speak on the documentary of the book your cock was featured in..."it was down da hill from dere"...too funnny), but overall you appear to be an ugly human being. just sayin.

Lucas-
Ha-frickin-ha! My brother and I have developed a similar theory, you know, that all relationships are just low-grade (why the loaded term?) prostitution. Lobster=bj. Love!

No, there's really no comparison.

People have relationships for many reasons, some positive others negitive. The relationship between escort and client is usually NEGITIVE. Hey, I'm no prude and see nothing wrong with exchanging money for sex, it's your 40th birthday and you want to have a wild time go and buy a hooker, do a few lines of coke, have fun. But all to often the person buying sex does so because they have personal problems like low self-esteem, closeted, ect and are trying to buy MUCH more than a good time for an hour. Escorts are close to drug pushers; they are BOTH selling fantasy!!!
As for such couples as Jackie and Ari; what is wrong for a very beautiful woman to be attracted to one of the most successful businessmen of her time? Recently I heard Drew Berrymore say she was attracted to funny guys. Sharon Stone and Marilyn Monroe seem to be attracted to intelligent guys. Yes, most often, couples seem to be fairly equal in the looks department but those breaking this norm are not a justification for prostitution!

Very fucking true! I say the same thing. People like to cloud reality with their own distorted perceptions. Everyone does something (or someone) to get something in return, no matter what that it is in return they receive exactly. I still say that "selfless" is not defined correctly in the dictionary...it's more like performing an act that appears you're putting someone else's happiness above yours, but you're still getting something from it.

I wanted to write "Bravo!!" and the first thing on the comment page is that!
Its definately mindopening..but i guess there is a difference in whoring for something and whoring for different somethings!!

"A Demigod sleeping with a mortal for a few hundred dollars, where’s the harm in that?"
I could give a drawn-out response, but Louis Armstrong said it best: "If you gotta ask the question, you ain't never gonna know the answer."

Yeah, women have no sexuality of their own and would never want sex except for a new washer/dryer. Come on...

Well I don't agree 100% but this is one amusing post nonetheless.
Anyone rich want a relationship with me?....I put out ;)
Posted by: MArcus at August 23, 2005 01:38 PM
Demigods? Michael Lucas, Wilfried Knight, Marco Rochelle, Kent Larson and many others from Lucas Entertainment are in that category, but not all porn stars.
Posted by: Donald at August 23, 2005 03:05 PM
no, i don't think that all these relationships that you mention here were based on monetary considerations. perhaps they were, perhaps not. how does it matter if dodi was one ugly fuck or did not have a 12 inch cock? i am sure after her failed companionship with charles, diana must have seen something in the man that he was to decide to spend time with him. to think that she would do it for the money, though plausible, doesn't cut it somehow.

This has to be the most offense journal entry I have read on your site thus far. Generally, I enjoy coming to your site to read your warped views on politics and the gay world, but what you are suggesting in this entry is the most demented of your posted views.
If I understand you correctly, it is your position that because you are a porn star, and then by your own admission a whore, then everyone is because we are no better. No one does anything for nothing; everyone wants something –in essence there is a goal in the end, basically quid pro quo.
The issue that I take with your theory is that it is far too generalized in design and based knee deep in depravity. The simple fact is, not everyone lacks a moral basis and is willing to prostitute themselves for something. Many people have values and marry for love, respect, companionship and have sex with one another for those very same reasons. As you have stated many times, you deal in creating a fantasy for your customers, and I think you may be lost in that fantasy world and out of touch with reality.
You structure the foundation for your theory with the premise that all porn stars are whores. Then you continue on to state that so is everyone else in the world, both the beautiful and the average, so they, meaning the porn stars, are not alone as being whores and as such, should not be treated any differently. We all live in a shallow world of materialism in which it’s something for something where love has nothing to do with it.
You then go on to state, “You call, they come, you cum, you pay, [STOP…THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ACT] they leave, you’re satisfied.” In a fantasy, all things are possible. Hell, a mortal can have amazing sex with a different Aberzombie every night of the week. But in the real world, there are consequences to actions. You do remember what those are right? You discussed them when you talk about the gay use of Crystal and how illegal and wrong it is and how more should be done to condone it’s usage in the community. Just as wrong is the selling of prostitution and arguing that the mortal should pay and be happy he was able to have sex from a Demigod, who under normal circumstances would never give him the time of day. This type of view is very warped, shallow, insensitive, egocentric, self-involved, and just plain wrong.
Then you go on to state that the open porn star whore is honest about being materialistic and desiring nothing from anyone but the Almighty dollar and the rest of us are the same, but we are artificial about it. We hide our true desires behind alternate motives in a desire to gain wealth, i.e. the washer/dryer, the garbage taken out, a new car, new jewelry, etc. But instead of being direct like you whores are, we are coy and marry and say we love each other to gain wealth. I think that is a sad and lonely view. Because you whores lack morality and any sense of self-respect, that does not mean that everyone does. Because the whore’s motivation for sex is money, does not mean that it is everyone’s motivation for sex. How can you make such generalized, unfounded, and offense statements like that?
In your attempt to support your demented argument you take blind shots at women of power and prestige in society by referring to them as whores because you believe, they did what they did for monetary gain. And of course, you know full well that you do not have a shred of evidence to support your claims, only your warped need to feel included in a society that excludes you. And that, I believe, is at the real core of your theory; the genuine emotion behind your view. Porn stars are outcasts of society because they are sexual, materialistic, whores and because they lack credence to be included in society. And instead of standing out there proud on that lonely ledge, you turn your argument around and try and tell society that they, in fact, are the same as you, only they cannot admit it as truthfully as you openly honest porn whores can.
But then again, considering the role that a porn star has in society, one must ask why should whores be counted? Porn stars do not contribute in any positive way to society, unless you count your strict stance on bare backing sex. The movies you make are not in anyway, shape or form artistic. No matter how many awards are given out. You do not deal with real issues and concerns that the gay culture faces in today’s world. Porn movies do not aid young people in their struggles to identity themselves and understand who they are and come to terms with their sexuality. Porn simply put, is a fantasy. And there is nothing wrong with that, so long as you whores are just as open and honest and freely admit that is all you are and all you do.
In your fantasy world, I have no problems with calling, watching you come over, seeing these Demigod’s and mortals cum, while I pay the fee for the DVD and then turn it off because I got off and am satisfied. Then I turn it off and it is over with. No illegal act was performed!
But please remember, you are just Jackie Susann and not Arthur Miller. Do not try and be something you are not, and do not try and make others in to something they are not in order to try and validate your profession (or lack-there-of). You are a whore, yes, and we all accept that. But that is why we read your journal. Most of us have values, morals, goals and a desire to live outside the artificial compounds of fantasy land. Since it is apparent that you and your soldier of whores cannot, do not dare taint the memory of outstanding people like Princess Diana and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in order to prove your empty mindless theory. These ladies may actually be the stuff that Demigod’s are made of, while you and your whores are not. It takes far more than a six pack to make it to the Demigod status.
But please, don’t let my harsh criticisms of your warped views jade you from continuing to sprout them out loud and proud. They make for very entertaining reading when I get home from work, before walking my dogs.

Michael, I have two comments on your observations about gay porn actors being whores.
1 -- You have personally shown that you are fully capable of love in the way you write about your family, especially your concern for your mother. But you have made some life decisions, specifically making your living from sex, which makes it all but impossible for you to also use sex as an expression of love. But is incorrect to expand from your experience, however valid for you, to include most other people. They are many people for whom sex is a manifestation of love. true authentic selfless love. They have made different life decisions than you have made, so sex can be used by them in a way no longer available to you.
2 -- I have known a number of prostitutes, male and female, over the years, although never as a client. Almost without exception, even though some of them are insecure and have problems, they are kind, gentle, good people. I presume that is also true of gay porn actors. But there is often cruelty and evil in the world of whores, and it comes from the pimps. In my experience they have almost always been deeply destructive evil people. My questionm for you, Michael, is if gay porn actors are whores, who plays the role of pimp? And are these pimps cruel, evil and destructive to the gay porn actors? Thanks, Tom

First off, most porn stars and escorts don't fall into the demi-god category. I've seen enough up close to know.
Second, by all accounts, Maria Callas was deeply in love with Onassis (Jackie was a different matter, but as I understand it, she wanted a man who could protect her kids, which is more the reaction of a mother than a prostitute).
And finally, why do you assume that a physically beautiful person could fall in love with an ordinary-looking one? How shallow are you?
Posted by: Rob at August 23, 2005 09:51 PM
I agree with you on this, Michael. Basic psychology tells us that human beings are selfish, and many believe that even "self-less" acts are, in fact, selfish. Our selfish nature ensures that human beings will always "put out" (in whatever form) in order to get what they want.
However, from my own experience, I know for a fact that the females of our species, unlike the males, have a very useful, inate, tool that allows them to see past exterior beauty. I call them "personality goggles." If you've ever been set up on a date by one of your female friends, you know what I'm talking about. So perhaps Jackie O, Maria Callas, and Princess Diana didn't really "see" the same unattractive guys that we see. After all, none of them really needed the money.
On the other hand, maybe they were just common whores like the rest of us.
;-)

I guess in one respect you are right...however, I wouldn't call porn stars whores, just like I would never think to EVER call Jackie or Di a whore.. to make such a statement is bold, at best...

my life thus far:
studied classical ballet for 12 yrs and trained my body to perform the art of dance,with the hopes of finding a company and audience that was willing to pay me to perform... then i became a model, and for 7yrs got paid to wear peoples clothes and have my picture taken to help sell a product... which brought me here to nyc to try and pursue my career in both dance and modeling but got stuck in the restaurant industry for 10 years, trying to please every customer that would come into the door in order to earn their "gratuity"...now ive been self-employed as a massage therapist for 7yrs, and we ALL know what that profession tends to require sometimes !
as much as i have enjoyed my life thus far, i have always felt like a "prostitute" in many ways...but after 37yrs, i have come to the conclusion that: "where there is a market, you will always find a product"...and i also have a bad/good habit of asking escorts to fullfill my needs (on a regular basis) as well !!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL ... OMG ..... I'm not even going to comment on this ... Just let me say if you go to the bar and pay a cover, or buy a guy a drink with the intent of getting him to go home with you and have sex. You have just paid for sex. And if this person does go home with you then they are a prostitute.

Nice text although have in mind that women dont work the same way with men.
When we (men) are young we are sluts.
When we (men) become grownups we appreciate more the goodlooks and appearence than the brain.
And when we are too old and cant operate we dig the mind!
Women on the other hand are attracted to someone's mind more than their body and face.
Thats why ugly guys get the best chicks :-)
Aristotelis Onasis had a unique personality. It was a woman-magnet for that. His looks not that good but his brain superb.
His bank account was also considerable but its how u cant to call it...
