Updates Suggestions

[danielle_ftv]

I've been thinking about it. I think it seems like a slightly clinical update idea. Most of my fans know that I'm not into talking during masturbation (and sex as well).

Hi Danielle, you are the greatest.

I wish you would make a vid of your prepping for all that anal stuff. But I'll be happy just loving your boobs. Thank you so much.

So you want an enema scene...

[Eric]

Yes, that would be so nice. Nothing dirty or any expulsion, just how you prep for your anal things. But like I said, what you already do is great.

I could do that as a candid video update.

[Eric]

Sounds great to me.

I wish I was in Phoenix.

Thanks for responding.

Hello Danny,

You know, there are lay people who enjoy partner sex, but still feel that autoerotic masturbation is too private to share. Obviously, while you are less inhibited than that (at least when the camera is the only observer), I can allow it's possible you'd feel too psychologically vulnerable to talk while jilling. (Let me observe that traditional Playboy Playmate video shoots never ask models to talk while posing nude.)

If that is the case, what are your feelings about recording a voice-over after the shoot? It does make the production process more complicated, and perhaps you'd want to charge a sales-price premium.

While we're at it, you could also consider doing a two-or-three camera shoot (overall, face, genitals) which gets edited. Electronic cameras and digital storage cost nothing compared to the pricey days of film-based shoots. And if you paid attention in your psychology class, you know about habituation; the lesson for porn-film-making is that by cutting between shots, you can make a film "hotter."

Another issue is one of aesthetic privacy. Do you object to revealing what turns you on the most in your personal life? Maybe that is something you want to share only with lovers. If so, there is nothing to prevent you from scripting a fictional testimony; how would nearly any of us ever know the difference?

Would you be surprised to learn that someone is working to create an online company which archives and displays the "sex tapes" of lay people, one purpose being the instruction of their new lovers? I would not invest in Cindy Gallop's enterprise, because I still think that nearly all people are still too shy to participate. I also think she lacks a broad enough knowledge of porn given her critique of it ("Pro porn; pro sex; pro knowing the difference") as uniformly unlike real sex; for example, has she seen the work of Ed Powers, I'd ask. (Maybe my disagreement with her is a matter of semantics.) I'll let you judge for yourself by listening to her 20-minute TED pitch here.

As for the whole concept being "slightly clinical," let me remind (or educate) you about early above-ground sexually explicit cinema. In the generation preceding the legalization of "hardcore sex" film exhibition in the mid-1970s, producers would often combat legal and social resistance by framing their film as "documentary" or "educational." Whether this was just an evasion to liberalize the exhibition of highly arousing erotica, or was more mixed in motive, it resulted in a genre we now refer to as White-Coaters. Living in Germany, perhaps our friend Anoree might be familiar with the famous example of the Schulmädchen-Report series, which began in 1970.

Do I know you well enough by now? I think that as an artist, you would prefer to make romantic films with sexually explicit content, rather than stuff of the type under discussion. On the other hand, business is business, and who can be sure what is profitable until a test is made? I hope you already know that some of the most famous porn stars have leveraged their credential to produce and promote straight-faced sex education videos - even if they lack all conventional educational and medical credentials.

Hi Danny,

Regarding your upcoming "Disney princesses" serial:

Snow White has been the subject of numerous erotic interpretations in visual media (both animated and live action) over the decades. And despite what the naive might think, this may not be inconsistent with her mythic origins! In Everything You Know About Sex Is Wrong... (The Disinformation Company, 2005) editor Russ Kick writes (pp. 269-270):

...historical evidence suggests that female genital display can also be about promoting fertility, such as causing plants or the earth to flourish... as strange as it may seem, the fairy tale of Snow White, or Biancaneve, is suggested to have arisen from an ancient Italian ritual designed to enhance the fecundity of the earth itself. A beautiful, noble girl would be sent down a mine which was running low in iron ore in order to expose Mother Earth to her vital female essence or energy. Biancaneve, so the theory goes, came from the Dolomites region of the Cordevole river north of Belluno in Italy, an area which was known for its magnesium-rich iron mines.

Even the 1937 Disney film subliminally addressed the erotic dimension - which is not that hard when you consider that, after all, this is a story about a young woman shacked up with a bunch of guys in a tiny woodland cabin! Ponder, for example, how the seven dwarves present themselves to her as she lies in bed in the frame below. (If you don't get the import of the image, do listen to the song here.) Gosh, which one will she choose?

By the way, note that in this image, Snow White is in bed with the covers pulled over her, but is anomalously wearing all of her daytime clothing! One supposes it is "bad" enough that she sleeps in the same room as do the dwarves (note Grumpy's name-labeled bed in the background) - it simply wouldn't do to have Snow White wearing a night-gown - so she is fully dressed in her day-wear to obviate objections from the Hays Office!

Of course, by dressing her so, it calls attention to the very fact that she should be in bed-clothing, and so ironically eroticizes the scene in a way which is plausibly deniable. (A totally nude romantic model covering her genitals with a hand looks sexier than an indifferent naturist posed at ease, because the hand draws attention to the very part of her anatomy it seeks to hide!)

If you think my argument lacks merit, consider a short clip from Disney's 1953 version of Peter Pan here. Observe that one of the mermaids expresses shock (at about 1m11s) that Wendy is scandalously dressed in a night-gown - and notwithstanding the fact that two of the mermaids are wearing nothing at all that would reliably cover any part of their breasts!

The necklace on your Amazon wishlist reminded me of Yuki's debut single music video in 2002, The End of Shite. Do watch it here. Did you ever imagine the seven dwarves might go mining in the love tunnel? I guess size matters after all!

Now, you might welcome the opportunity to finally do a gang bang scene with these seven fellas out there in LA, but I tell you, it doesn't always work out as glamorously as one imagines, living in upmarket Sherman Oaks as you do! For proof, watch the video here!

So you are taking on the challenge of a classic theme - like Shakespeare. But I'm sure you'll give it your own special treatment, not the least of which is your always-lovely self.

I don't live in Sherman Oaks anymore. Right now I only live in Tempe, AZ (I'm moving all of my stuff out of LA tomorrow).

How about trying out some of your larger toys again?


You know like the FTV big five, would be fun too see you take on some big toys again

I plan on doing another extreme solo anal scene...probably next month. I have some large toys but to be perfectly honest I prefer them in my butt rather than in my p@ssy.

Well, I like butts as well, so looking forward to that!

Hey Danny,

I guess I'm sad to hear you wanted or had to leave The Valley. Surely you knew it is the mecca of US porn production, with the same preeminence which Broadway has for live theater and Hollywood for mainstream films.

Of course the Internet is a great opportunity for solo promotion and distribution. And I really admire rugged individualists like yourself. I sure couldn't tell you how to make your enchanting website better.

But it's still hard to be a mistress of all trades! I had hoped that by living in The Valley you would have found compatible, complementary partners, a chance to learn from experienced mentors, exploit higher production values and maybe even secure financing for projects. If anyone figures out how to cope with the piracy problem, it will be people there; maybe the chaperoned theater will make a comeback, but I doubt it. It's much more likely product placement will have a role.

By the time your generation reaches middle age and starts to control things, I'm sure we'll live in a thoroughly virtualized world where physical location won't count for much in your business. Of course, it also likely means that virtual actors will have replaced live bodies, with kinetic artwork limited to, at most, the manipulation and voicing of same. But for now, I'm not sanguine the porn kingpins socialize via LinkedIn or cast via Skype. Even in porn films themselves, it seems the use of digital FX is almost unknown, if one discounts pure animations.

I don't know the porn film business or that of film-making in general. So I don't know any implied business advice to you is worth very much. Perhaps it is because of that very ignorance that I held your residence in LA to be an important advantage. But then again, I guess you're only about 300 crow-flying miles from LA back home in Arizona if opportunity beckons there once again.

I imagine it's lots cheaper and less stressful to live in Arizona. Was it too hard to keep in touch with your friends there while in LA?

About four decades ago, I think it was porn pioneer Gerard Damiano who prophesied that the day would come that sexually explicit content was so mainstream that the boundary between porn and non-porn films would vanish. Save for the 18 USC 2257 documentation criterion, I think we now live in that world, where the frequency, duration and intensity of sexual content varies continuously over the spectrum of cinematic art.

This was something else which made LA interesting, because the San Fernando Valley sits in Hollywood's backyard, and I could see someone like you crossing over to mainstream video work. Actually, Michele Malene began as an FTV gal and then went on to do Coed Confidential for four years on cable TV. You've shown real acting talent in at least one of the recent videos I've seen, and this doesn't depend either on your youth or your beauty or your willingness to do explicit sex work. I also think you're smart enough to get into stuff like scriptwriting, editing and marketing, opportunities which may grow in importance in your future.

Anyway, we all wish you the very best in the time to come! <3<3<3

Danielle, have you ever thought about doing some sploshing? I've seen one video where some guy puts honey on your wondrous boobs and licks it off, but that's about it.

I could totally do that. That could be a really fun shoot with one of my girlfriends.
