7 year itch

bildungsromanToday is the seventh anniversary of my first day at AVN, where I was hired straight out of grade school to be managing editor of AVN.com. It was these occasional flashes of brilliance that made me admire the company so.

I had worked on a couple of porn-related things prior to that, and in the intervening years have spent periods of up to a year not dealing with porn at all, but that day in 2002 was the first time that porn was my full time job. Not only that, but at the time AVN had at least 15 full-time writers and editors on its staff. I don’t believe the combined editorial staffs of Hustler, Genesis, AVN, and XBiz number 15 today, the result of the belief that writing about porn is about as necessary as the opera I composed about my shoelaces, Il Agleto.

Here is a story I wrote on the third anniversary of the blessed event.
