Alexandra Mayers LIVE – Chapter 10 of Shelley Lubben’s book about the pornography industry
Alexandra Mayers reads and provides commentary on Chapter Ten of the book “Truth Behind The Fantasy of Porn – The Greatest Illusion on Earth” – written by the recently deceased anti porn activist, Christian and mother Shelley Lubben.
In this commentary, as Alexandra shares a reading of Chapter 10, she explains a bit about how Shelley Lubben’s perception of the scenes produced by the adult industry being ridiculous is SPOT ON – and is how many ex and retired adult actresses feel (in hindsight after having been removed from the industry for a while) about the roles they played while active performers. In addition Alexandra comments on the mixed feelings and emotions Shelley discusses experiencing in this particular chapter of the book.
the truth of AVN media network’s treatment of pornstars Mr. Marcus & Sean Michaels #BlackLivesMatter
Alexandra Mayers (founder, owner and host of the PNTLIVE network – also formerly known as adult actress Monica Foster) shares a supresed interview conducted by retired adult actress Melissa Hill – featuring veteran Black adult actors Mr. Marcus and Sean Michaels – which revolves around an instance of extreme racism and bigotry each experienced and endured at the hands of AVN media network’s staff at AVN media network events (the 2017 AVN media network nomination party and the 2018 AVN media network awards ceremony).
Since this interview was conducted Melissa Hill was asked to leave the radio platform she hosted her show through (possibly in part due to this interview) and felt pressured to resign from the APAG union. In addition, at the time of the incidents related in this interview Sean Michaels was President of the APAG union – but after the incidents resigned from his position.
Earlier this week the AVN media network released a press release stating that they support the Black Lives Matter (#BlackLivesMatter) movement, but from Alexandra Mayers perspective the statement is disingenuous.
The pornstar who appears to be behind the instances of racism Sean Michaels and Mr. Marcus experiences, Tasha Reign, today appears to be attempting to claim to support #BlackLivesMatter simply in effort to gain social acceptance and increase her fan base.
Considering AVN employee Peter Warren’s public communication and relationships with white supremacists such as Sean Tompkins aka TRPWL and the operators of XXXstarPR – Alexandra Mayers questions why the AVN media network (owned by Tony Rios) continues working with Warren (if they do indeed support Black Lives Matter).
There has been a severe racism problem in the adult entertainment industry for many years, but Black Performers DO have a voice – several voices in fact – should they choose to acknowledge those voices and listen to those voices rather than ignore those voices in effort to gain the acceptance of their white privilege enabled (and often racist) peers.
Don’t Tell Me How To Ruin My Life aka The Jason Quinlan Files – Introduction
Alexandra Mayers recovers an important collection of journals (blogs) by Jason Quinlan (an SEO expert who laid the foundation of much of the adult entertainment industry’s online presence as we know it today). Quinlan’s journals include details of the controversy which revolves around Charlie Sheen’s HIV issues as well as raw, no holds barred opinions on one of today’s most popular pornstar talent agencies known as OC modeling. DTMHTRML also includes several accounts of high octane (and dangerous) experiences from Quinlans own life as both a jet setting adult industry computer mogul and a touring musician (Quinlan is a lead guitarist and vocalist in a band called Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles).
This video is the introduction to the “Don’t Tell Me How To Ruin My Life” commentary – with several more installments to come in the next few weeks.

Coming up on PNTLIVE.net from Alexandra Mayers
Alexandra Mayers gives a quick overview as to what she has coming up in the realm of readings from and commentary on interesting pieces of literature from Shelley Lubben, Jason Quinlan & Todd Bridges.
An educational & insightful interview with adult actress & performer advocate Lasha Lane (part 2)
In part 2 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane (click here to view part 1) – Lasha outlines what she feels are cost inequities within the FSC controlled PASS system and how some studios appear to be “grandfathered” into the pass network and don’t have to pay to access talent records (whereas others do).
In addition Lasha Lane makes it clear that she’s willing to work with all of the adult industry leadership entities (such as the FSC, APAC and APAG) as she feels that they’d all be more effective were they to unite (opposed to continuing to fight).
Lasha states that one of her goals is keep the government out of the adult industry (in regards to regulation). Lasha Lane also delves into the perception of Black (African American) women in the industry (the mainstream vs. urban debate) and expresses how she is glad that a few Black women in the industry are finally exercising their voice.
Lasha Lane shares her long term objectives within the adult entertainment industry and outlines how she believes the long standing adult industry institutions, media outlets and awards shows (such as AVN ) at their core seem to want to be more inclusive and promote diversity, but don’t appear to know exactly how to do so (due to the “old guard” within the industry)… Lasha hopes that her efforts will shift the industry in a more productive and positive direction when it comes to educating the industry (as a whole) in regards to what inclusiveness in actuality is.
The primary change Lasha Lane feels should occur within the industry should be the elimination of pornstar talent agents, agencies and publicists – due to people in such positions having too much perceived (and unjustified) “power” in regards to the type of content produced, who works (versus who doesn’t), the existence of the illegal problematic prostitution rackets, and the global “trends” the industry at times dictates (as being valid) to the public.
In the upcoming part 3 of this interview Lasha Lane goes into detail in regards to the dispute between APAG union leaders and FSC leaders in regards to a future proposed program to provide adult performers with RESOURCES and EDUCATE adult performers as to what the realities of what the porn industry really are.
a commentary on chapter 8 of Shelley Lubben’s book about the pornography industry
Alexandra Mayers reads a portion of, reviews and provides commentary on Chapter Eight of the book “Truth Behind The Fantasy of Porn – The Greatest Illusion on Earth” – written by the recently deceased anti porn activist, Christian and mother Shelley Lubben.
In this commentary, as Alexandra shares a portion of Chapter Eight, she explains how Shelley was quite ahead of her time in regards for her concern about disease transmission within the various sects of adult entertainment.
This particular chapter outlines how Shelley transitioned from “victim” to “predator”… as well as the process of how Shelley transitioned from a legal exotic dancer to operating an illegal prostitution racket (which is a very common shift for sex trafficking victims who fail to leave the adult industry).
