Started out in high school designing sites. Eventually I started designing adult sites, and everything else. I made friends with producers in the adult Industry along with distributors of merchandise. I had money from a lawsuit I was hit by a papa john's car in west valley city, Utah when I was 13. so I decided to get into the business of selling adult movies and video games, well the video game thing didn't go to good, the adult dvd's were good til the market just kind of fell apart on dvds I made 100,000 but ended up going into the negative. Was was I to do. I ended up living in a sober living and down grading that was the hardest part. Eventually I met this guy who was an adult talent agent he got me a job as a recruiter he ended up messing himself up with drugs, and I quite. I ended up making friends with his investor and business partner I have a full time position at the construction firm and I started my own adult talent agency. Yes I am Red Redemption from Sexy Modelz. Any way Lifes been good making about 4500 every 3 or 4 days driving a Mercedes 600.

During the time I had lost my business I was involved heavily with crystal meth it was the only thing that kept me going. I was rich then poor I've been going to NA twice a week, and I still work for the investor at his company, and I have started my own company. I laugh because I never thought that I would become an adult talent agent or anything like that matter in my life. So that's my Rag 2 riches story.

Technically it's not porn no sexual acts are portrayed, yes there is difference between nudity and porn. Can we open up an adult webmaster section?

Not according to the interpretation of the law in some areas of Florida...
It is the judgement of the judge....))))

We made a number of cases against businesses in the 80s.....
closed some shops.....

But on your side of the water....could be wilder....

Certainly, but there, the judge is therefore the "beholder" and decides upon whether what they are "beholding" (definition: [to be] seeing or observing) is considered pornographic or not.

The laws on pornography in most of the "civilised" countries is quite vague for the most part. There are definitive statements on what and what is not permissible outside of the context of what is classed as educational material or medical textbooks. But ostensibly it is left up to an arbiter to make the final decision, whether it be a moral one one or one based on facts.

That depends where you are in Europe, some countries are more relaxed about the whole thing while others cling to the late 19th, early 20th century ideals of anything between the ankle and the shoulders should not be seen, lest it inflame the passions of the beholder.

There are arguments and studies on both sides of that coin...
Apparently Google does not like their links...)
