Some time ago, indie author Lynne Martin requested me to read and review her new novel Ready Set, Action!, an expose of the porn industry, but not a book of pornography in itself. Not my everyday subject (thank God!), but after reading and reviewing The Origins of Sex, this novel is an example of the double moral standard in effect in the USA and other western countries as well. Human trafficking, drug addiction, sexual offenders and child molestation are forbidden. And yet, there’s a huge market for drugs and sex related services and products. Some 30% of all internet traffic is porn content.
Martin portrays the life of working porn stars in the Adult Film Industry, based on researched sources and interviews, but packaged as fiction. The storyline is about ex-porn star and cutthroat businesswoman Julia Giovanni and her husband Boyd. While Julia wants to build her their Giovanni Films into a beyond-average, on-demand adult movie company, with strict rules on acting for competitors and hygiene. Boyd enjoys the luxury, and is tired of looking after his brother Peter who’s a drug addict trying to rehab.
