38	38	Abrams argues that Jewish involvement in the development of American pornography, especially in the mid-20th century, was not incidental but ideologically motivated—an expression of rebellion against Christian cultural norms and a means of "ethnic revenge" against perceived repression. This can be explicitly seen in the aforementioned [[Triple-Exthnics>>attach:111175827-Triple-Exthnics-Nathan-Abrams-on-Jews-in-the-American-Porn-Industry.pdf]]. We have made available the full article, which was published in [[Jewish Quarterly,>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jewish_Quarterly]] so this isn't some inferred conspiracy, this is straight from Jewish voices themselves. First lets go into who some of the heavy hitters were.

51	51
52		-Mainstream academic responses tend to downplay Jewish identity as a relevant factor. Still, even a brief examination of historical figures in the industry—such as Reuben Sturman (dubbed “the Walt Disney of porn”) or later digital-era producers—shows a disproportionate Jewish presence, similar to that seen in other media sectors. The issue becomes less about the fact of involvement and more about whether discussing it constitutes bigotry.
	51	+>Very few, if any, porn films have overtly Jewish themes....  Indeed, according to an editorial on the World Union of Jewish Students website, "there are thousands of people searching for Jewish porn. After things like Jewish
	52	+>calendar, Jewish singles, Jewish dating, and Jewish festivals comes ʻJewish pornʼ in the
	53	+>list of top search keywords that GoTo.com provide".
53	53
	55	+Considering the demand for such productions, it seems an odd choice for the entire industry to avoid producing practically any of it at all. Subsequent quotes shed possible light on the reasoning however.

55		-As part of the “Taboo Talks” series presented by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in San Diego on May 8, 2013, Mike Kulich, the late jewish owner of Monarchy Distributors, one of the largest pornography companies in America, candidly revealed that Jews do, in fact, control and dominate every aspect of the pornography industry:
	58	+>Is there a deeper reason, beyond the mere financial, as to why Jews in particular have
	59	+>become involved in porn? There is surely an element of rebellion in Jewish X-rated
	60	+>involvement. Its very taboo and forbidden nature serves to make it attractive. As I

	62	+>sexuality of the goyim, and there all the delights are imagined to lie . . .ʼ {{footnote}}Reel Kashrut: Jewish food in film, JQ 189 [Spring 2003]). https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261694106_REEL_KASHRUT{{/footnote}}

	64	+It continues:
58	58
	66	+>According to one anonymous industry insider quoted by E. Michael Jones in the
	67	+>magazine Culture Wars (May 2003), ʻthe leading male performers through the 1980s
	68	+>came from secular Jewish upbringings and the females from Roman Catholic day
	69	+>schoolsʼ. The standard porn scenario became as a result a Jewish fantasy of
	70	+>schtupping the Catholic shiksa.
59	59
	72	+And probably the most infamous of the quotes is contained here as well:
60	60
	74	+>Extending the subversive thesis, Jewish involvement in the X-rated industry can be seen as a proverbial two fingers to the entire WASP establishment in America. Some porn stars viewed themselves as frontline fighters in the spiritual battle between
	75	+>Christian America and secular humanism. According to Ford, Jewish X-rated actors often brag about their ʻjoy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beastʼ. Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion. Astyr remembers having ʻto run or fight for it in grammar school because I was a Jew. It could very well be that part of my porn career is an “up yours” to these peopleʼ. Al Goldstein, the publisher of Screw, said (on lukeford.net), ʻThe only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We donʼt believe in authoritarianism.ʼ Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged. Porn is no longer of the ʻwhat the Butler sawʼ voyeuristic type; instead, it is driven to new extremes of portrayal that stretch the boundaries of the porn aesthetic. As new sexual positions are portrayed, the desire to shock (as well as entertain) seems clear.

It doesn't stop at pornography, as the very next line joyfully details the ways that jews have been at the forefront of

63	63	>Kulich stated: “Jews in the adult industry, there’s a lot of them….The adult industry was pretty much founded by the Jews. Basically, in the early nineteen hundreds, the German Jewish immigrants came in, and when they were trying to get into different industries, there was a lot of antisemitism where they couldn’t get into normalized work….so they gravitated toward the porn industry because it’s kind of the seedier cousin of the Hollywood industry which had already been controlled by the Jews. Basically, they pretty much took it over. If you look at the big stars… So basically back in the 1960s, 70s, it was founded by people like Dan [unintelligible], and then later in the 80s, The Godfather of the modern day porn industry, his name is Reuben Sturman, who was actually an Orthodox Jew who owned over 200 bookstores all around the country. He’s actually my godfather, which is kind of weird. So Reuben Sturman, what the Jews did pretty much was they revolutionized the adult industry and made it their own. So there was no space for antisemitism. And they basically controlled everything. So back in the 80s, the only way to get pornography was to go through someone like Reuben Sturman, and he controlled all of his stores and all the stores that he didn’t own, they actually had to pay him a tax to carry his product, and he was the only place to get product from, peep shows from. And later what the Jews did they started the manufacturing end of the business. There were a lot of Italians that were coming into the business, but what they [the Jews] did was they created the manufacturing side which is the replication of printing because back in the day if you wanted to make a VHS or Beta tape or whatever, you couldn’t go down to Kinkos or whatever or any mainstream printer. It would be like, I want to print “Gang Bang My Mom Number Three”. So what they did was they created all these companies that manufactured DVDs and VHS and Beta and printing and all the companies pretty much had to go through the Jews. So Reuben Sturman eventually he died in prison….they tried to get him for obscenity back in the ‘80s, which was a big thing, and there actually still is an obscenity risk today. But he eventually died in prison because of tax evasion, because didn’t want to pay taxes… Back in the ‘70s, the majority of the male porn performers were jewish, and the majority of the female performers were Roman Catholic.  And if you look at the names of the classic porn stars, you got Ron Jeremy, which isn’t really jewish [sounding], but you have Hershel Savage….It’s kind of funny because those guys came into the industry, and I actually asked a couple of them, cause I asked Ron Jeremy, “Why did you guys decide to go into the porn industry? What was it that drew you in besides the obvious?” He was like “I got to fuckk Roman Catholic chicks”….and fulfill every fantasy of every jewish boy has ever had. So I think the jewish performers, they’ve always been really prevalent in the industry, and even now Ron Jeremy is still one of the most well known performers….Joanna Angel…Daphne Rosen…there’s a bunch of them. And for the most part, the business side is still controlled by Jews. Steve Hersch, who runs Vivid. Steve Orenstein, who runs Wicked. You have me who runs the biggest porn company [Monarch] in the world. Second biggest. But for the most part, the business owners are pretty much Jewish or have Jewish ties, or at some point worked for a Jew in the business to get their start.”
