Who knew Max Hardcore has a Flickr account!? He does, indeed. I’m considering this reply:
Greetings Sir Hard-Core, Ruler Of All That Grosses Out All My Friends And King Of Causing Great Concern For The Hepatitis Status Of All New Pornographic Performers,
With all due respect, my most intimate of friends and furthest acquaintances believed you were in jail. However, reflecting on your letter expressing great affection, we see that this may be incorrect and offer our humblest of apologies. Wherein and to this effect, as a consequence of your request, I must and most formally decline — without prejudice — your sincere offer to ostensibly make me filthy fucking rich and have the most disgusting man in the world throatfuck me and piss on my face. Hereby, I send my most sincere of words and wishes of divine health and mercy from the Lords of Intestinal Parasites to you and your good companions continue to exist — or suffer no want for — the good health of negative viral status. I trust that should you become incarcerated at any point in your illustrious and most noble profession, the gods will grant that you emerge with minions restored, and showers of flower petals from golden enema bags, and most importantly, your reputation intact.
Very sincerely,
Violet Blue
Thank you Violet! I was just about to say more of less the same thing to Mike.
Kink.com is dedicated to satisfying the fantasies of the *participants* of our movies, NOT the viewers. Luckily, the activities that turn on our models usually happen to turn on our members too….
What you may see as ‘sexual degradation,’ our models see as the fulfillment of their fantasies — so to say that what we shoot is obscene or repulsive, you’re actually saying that our models are disgusting. i just don’t see how consensual acts between adults is really something that merits our judgment, let alone criticism.

also, I wanted to respond to Mike and JTM. I agree in part with what you’re saying; it appears hypocritical that I support Kink’s empire which has extreme hardcore BDSM with fucking (and admittedly, often beyond my personal tastes) and they just launched a new site, Pissing.com. same stuff right?
actually, no. Kink does many things to contextualize the safety, sanity and consent going on between performers and the sex acts they’re participating in. (they also have community forums, for members and where performers can answer questions about what, why and how they felt about things they do at Kink) and importantly, Kink interviews the participants before and after, and you see a lot of smiling porn stars who have just been through stuff that sometimes makes me want to cross my legs or guard my nipples as tight as possible. what MH has portrayed has none of this context whatsoever. in fact, his interviews do not cast his attitudes about women or sexual degradation as fantasy in a positive (or safe or sane) light to say the least.
I will not, however, condemn or judge people who jack off to it. why? first, sleazy fantasies are human. next, because I know at least a couple of strict hardcore butch dykes — you read that right — who have told me they get turned on by it. waaaaay not for me, and the lack of context (among other things MH does, and that I’ve been told happens on those sets) ain’t for me.
but the three bottom lines that are required in this discussion are:
1. context. Kink has it, MH doesn’t.
2. free speech rights of individuals in the US. porn and the Internet are the front lines.
3. as referenced in my comment above, some people (especially armchair ‘porn experts’ who drive-by shoot comments thinking they’re anon) have NO sense of humor.
lastly, I’ve met Max Hardcore. he’s the creepiest person I’ve ever been in physical proximity to.
dear rude commenter with the IP of 99.247.33.191 signing in as sex@sex.com and unique2100@hotmail.com “In the Know” and “LOL”. I didn’t approve your first comment because I didn’t have time to (and there’s a queue), and now that I’ve seen your second comment I’m not terribly worried about “approving” your pre-decided opinions about me and my work.
this post was farcical. imagine that. responding to the message probably from some dude in India likely impersonating an incarcerated individual in formal medieval letter writing format!? at least I have a sense of humor. if you’ve read my blog at all, you’d have seen that I followed Mr. Little’s trial and sentencing.
Now I’m feeling bad about my small criticism (posted above). I don’t want my 2nd ever post to just be criticism.
Let me add, I appreciate your autonomous and risky career choice to teach knowledge and acceptance of healthier and kinkier sex.
And for your Cunnilingus book (I bought that and the G-Spot book)
And for calling out all the bullshitters.
You (and Dan Savage) are my heroes!
I agree with mike.
To your credit Violet, you just criticized Max Hardcore repulsive because of his sleazy demeanor and unsafe sex practices (I don’t see anything hypocritical about that).
I’m defensive of MH because I do like his sleazy porn (I also like the more tasteful hardcore porn you blog about). But I ask, does porn have to be artfully sleazy done to be acceptable?
If it’s true unaware, unashamed sleaziness, why is it not okay porn? As long as it’s all consenting adults… you get the point.
You deserve a break, you have to be the accepting and open of everything. We all have our discriminating tastes including the sex things we find repulsive.
I don’t blame you for disliking MH, I just want to defend him and his true, unashamed white-trash sleaziness.
While I’m no fan of MH, and find his work repulsive, I find your stance a bit hypocritical. How far off the mark is kink.com with sites that cater to piss, whipping and forced sex fetishes. I’m not anti any of these activities, but I’d osay their sites are simply a better choregraphed version of what MH does.
That said, that dude is gross.
I got an e-mail from Chris Matthews once that creeped me out in kind of a similar fashion.
Well, without all the face-pissing and filthy lucre, anyway.
I don’t know…I think it just may encourage him.
I should never have search his name in Flickr. They say curiosity killed the cat… Gross. lol
Poor you dear, I hope you send the reply! It’s awesome :)
Ew…just ew!!
I like it how your response has been calculated to drive his offer up to a cool quarter-mill. Fingers crossed, girlfriend.
