NextDoorRAW! Ricky Ridges Fucks Markie More in ‘Fresh Meat’

And they still made him change his name? I would love to see someone explain the name game in porn. What legal power do they have to make Valentino become Jaxton, or Ryder become Dante, or Jan become Pavel become Max? (I probably have the sequence wrong.) And why did Pierce perform as both Paris and Hartman at the same studio?

Wow, that’s interesting and makes a lot of sense. My first real love of porn was in the old studio days, when a company would actually invest in a model. Jeff Stryker, from what I’ve read, was just a guy with a big dick. But they groomed him, physically and artistically, until he became box cover material. It’s hard for me to think of a bigger star from the 80s, and they totally manufactured that. Pavel Novotny had a hundred times what Jeff had in terms of looks, but splintered his stardom across multiple noms de fuck. No surprise that the Europeans were not star savvy, especially then. So it’s fascinating to me that Lucas Ridgeston made none of those mistakes and turned porn into such a career that 25 years later, no matter what side of the camera he’s on, there’s a viable argument that he should be on the other side.
