      "A
      Holiday
      Inn
      in
      South
      Miami,
      a
      sprawling
      two-story
     
     
      building
      not
      far
      from
      the
      University
      of
      Miami.
     
     
      Walking
      with
      chuck
      down
      the
      central
      corridor,
      up
      a
     
     
      flight
      of
      stairs,
      down
      another
      hallway
      to
      the
      end.
      The
     
     
      last
      room,
      Chuck
      knocking
      on
      the
      door
      three
      times,
     
     
      a
      man
      staring
      out
      at
      us,
      smiling,
      letting
      us
      in.
      Five
     
     
      men
      in
      thee
      room,
      middle-aged,
      businessmen,
      wearing
     
     
      ties
      and
      jackets,
      having
      a
      drink,
      giving
      me
      the
      old
      one-
     
     
      over.
      Chuck
      talking
      to
      me
      in
      the
      dressing
      room,
     
     
      saying,
      "Those
      five
      guys
      out
      there
      -
      you’re
      going
      to
      fuck
     
     
      everyone
      of
      them."
      Me
      looking
      for
      the
      joke:
      "Chuck
     
     
      don’t
      talk
      crazy."
      No
      joke:
      "You
      got
      no
      fucking
     
     
      choice.
      I
      already
      got
      the
      money.
      And
      that’s
     
     
      something
      I
      want
      you
      to
      remember.
      The
      first
      thing
     
     
      you
      do
      is
      get
      the
      money...now
      take
      off
      your
      clothes."
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Saying
      no,
      then
      seeing
      the
      gun
      in
      Chunk’s
      hand,
     
     
      listening
      to
      his
      insanity:
      “you
      know
      what
      I
      think?"
     
     
      I
      think
      you're
      going
      to
      take
      off
      your
      clothes,
      all
      of
     
     
      your
      clothes,
      and
      then
      you’re
      going
      to
      go
      out
      there
     
     
      and
      fuck
      those
      five
      guys.
      And
      if
      you
      don’t
      I’m
      gonna
     
     
      put
      a
      bullet
      in
      your
      head
      right
      now."
     
    
   
   
    
     
      And
      me
      still
      innocent,
      still
      looking
      for
      a
      smile
      but
     
     
      seeing
      only
      a
      gun.
      "I’m
      gonna
      shoot
      you
      right
      now,
     
     
      unless
      you
      get
      out
      there
      and
      do
      what
      I’m
      telling
      you.
     
     
      "Knowing
      that
      he
      meant
      it,
      he
      wasn’t
      lying;
      he
      would
     
     
      shoot
      me.
      Going
      numb
      then,
      the
      tears
      flooding
      my
     
     
      eyes
      as
      I
      removed
      my
      clothes,
      trembling,
      really
      shaking,
     
     
      too
      frightened
      to
      even
      pray.
      Chuck
      saying:
      "stop
      your
     
     
      crying
      before
      you
      go
      out
      there.
      Crying
      is
      bad
      for
     
     
      business."
      Walking
      out
      into
      the
      room
      then,
      wearing
     
     
      nothing.
      A
      man
      coming
      over
      and
      putting
      a
      hand
      on
     
     
      my
      breasts:
      "Not
      bad
      Chuck
      got
      us
      a
      nice
      young
      one

      time."

      The
      quote
      above
      taken
      from
      the
     
     
      book
      Out
      of
      Bondage,
      the
      account
      above
      was
      Linda
     
     
      Lovelace’s
      introduction
      to
      a
      life
      of
      prostitution
      and
     
     
      pornography.
      That
      is
      why
      I
      have
      chosen
      it
      to
      be
     
     
      the
      introduction
      to
      a
      three
      part
      series
      on
     
     
      pornography.
      Part
      I
      the
      Introduction
      (November
     
     
      15,
      1990),
      Part
      II
      Pornography
      (November
      22,
      1990)
     
     
      and
      Part
      III
      Prostitution
      (November
      29,
      1990).
      Due
     
     
      to
      limited
      space,
      I
      had
      to
      break
      this
      story
      into
      three
     
     
      parts
      and
      unfortunately
      they
      will
      be
      very
      short
     
     
      although
      I
      do
      hope
      to
      get
      a
      point
      across
      and
      that
     
     
      point
      is
      also
      the
      title
      of
      this
      series
      another
      quote
     
     
      from
      Linda
      "Lovelace"
      Marchiano.
      That
      point
      is
     
     
      "Don’t
      Believe
      it
      when
      they
      tell
      you
      Pornography
      is

      What
      exactly
      is
      Pornography?
      This
      question
      keeps
     
     
      popping
      up
      and
      it
      still
      remains
      hard
      to
      define.
     
     
      There
      are
      many
      different
      definitions
      of
      Pornography.
