As you know, I am a member of several elite organizations, including the Activision Barnstormers Club, AAA, and Costco. I am also on the august Board of Governors of the American Academy of Adult Arts and Entertainment.
But since ought-5 I have also been a member of the XRCO, which is the X-Rated Critics’ Organization. Each spring the XRCO throws a fete to honor adult personalities and it is always a boisterous affair if you attend with the right attitude. As the XRCO has always been inclusive of everyone who writes about the porn business, and since it was the first organization put together in such a way to issue awards democratically, it occupies a unique place in this business.
Democracy has its pitfalls; despite my boosterism, O: The Power of Submission didn’t make it into the nominees.
