Just a statistic - of I have no idea how much validity - quoted in the article on Maxine Fensom and her plans to enhance Australia’s position in the production of adult entertainment.
The entry title comes from the words of one of the aspiring Aussie porn starlets.
Lately, in the Australian adult film industry, nobody has been doing a whole lot of stuff either, something that Maxine Fensom is keen to change. Fensom, 48, is known to many Melburnians as the leopard-skinned woman on the billboard hawking naughty businessmen’s lunches. She has recently won the rights to be at the helm of US porn legend Larry Flynt’s foray into Australian “gentlemen’s” club culture (Fensom has recently taken over a Brunswick strip club that is set to be Hustler-fied) but has never stripped herself. Now she is stepping sideways into the world of producing porn films, with her sights on creating a viable industry and churning out Australian content for international distribution.
Just why anyone would do all this on camera she can’t really explain but, from a business perspective, she’s glad that they will. And not, she says, because her life is more about money than it is about morality.
“This is business. I am an empowered female and have made a business decision to bring my own touch to the porn industry,” Fensom says. “I am not making anyone do things they don’t want to do.”
Australia’s porn film industry is barely there, but that could be about to change
