"A man is as faithful as his options" — Jamie Gillis
Mr. Gillis is a former mime, Columbia grad, Shakespearean actor, and very nice Jewish boy— and better known as one of the most influential actors and innovators in the history of American blue movies.
He also isn't the type to seek out interviews, or spill his life story, so I was honored to have an interview with the legend who's made his mark in the most memorable porn movie of all time.
I got into porn to support my acting habit...
Sometimes I think of myself as a straight guy who happens to have had more fag sex than any fag I know.
This business is dick-driven...
I was with Long Jean Silver when she said one day, 'Let's find some boys to fuck...' and they weren't easy to find! ...Finally we found a group of seven, and I said, 'Look, we're not taking seven, pick three.'
The Navy tried to throw a guy out for being in my North Beach [gonzo] and I said, "But he's not even the one that did the fucking..."
No, you can't live with someone who's straight, who's not in the sex business— if it's a 'quote,' normal girl, it's ridiculous.
If you know Jamie's work, I know you're drooling to hear it all. If you've never heard him, you're in a for an education.

Other Notes on this Week's Show:
I couldn't help but sputter my indignation at the Georgia case of Genarlow Wilson, a popular athlete and college-bound senior, who was sentenced to ten years in prison for having blow job with a freshman girl at a high school party.
An appeals judge recently threw the sentence out, after much grassroots outrage (including a plea from Jimmy Carter!)
But get this: the GA Attorney General is insisting that that young man deserved to have his life destroyed and that the sentence be upheld. Let's start taking his life apart, shall we?
Finally, in the Try This at Home mailbag, I answer a letter from a fan of The L Word who wonders if lesbians really do have sex like that.
