Episode 11 of 'Confessions of an X-rated teacher'

Recorded in January 2011.

Johnny Anglais shares his thoughts about the next stage of his attempt to rescue an ex-student from Pakistan.

What a 'tool'!

Yet again a fellow Twitterer raised the accusation that all porn degrades and is the killer of dignity.

I never deny that these things do not exist in pornography, nor that there are not pornographers who can be accused of such outcomes.  However, my first-hand experience is not reflective of this.  I have viewed all sorts of porn, including much which I may ascribe to the aforementioned descriptions.  My argument, however, is that there is nothing in the innate principle of pornography that automatically means it should necessarily adhere to any of these accusations.

The same Twitterer also made the claim that, in straight porn, women are simply 'tools' or 'objects'.

Here is my response:

"I find the 'tool' argument an ill-thought through one.  By the very nature of sex, the man gives ( the 'inserter') while the woman receives (the 'insertee').  Both, in that sense, are tools.  But he will forever be the giver and she the receiver.  No biology will ever change that. 


Control in sex is changeable.  There is porn, like there is sex, where the woman dominates and takes control.  But being the recipient or vessel for the male organ will never change.  They both need each other.  Both are 'tools'.  


Powerplay exists in any relationship of one or more person.  But power can shift and change.  Control of power does not demean or degrade the other party (although this may also occur). Power is often voluntarily relinquished or never sought.   


Too many people throw out words like 'tool', 'object' and 'objectifying' and 'degrading' without actually thinking it through.   These are knee-jerk reactions to an often complex human activity."

Another debate win and honorary membership

I was contacted in the early of hours of yesterday morning via Twitter by a follower who was excited to see me attending a debate at his college that evening.  I was somewhat confused, because I had it in my diary for next Tuesday!  After checking that I had not been victim of a blonde moment by checking the original email, I confirmed that I indeed had Tuesday correctly marked.

After frantic emails, messages and telephone calls to the debate organisers, they confessed there had been a mix-up and the debate was indeed happening later that day.

So, once again, I shunted my frame onto a pendolino bound for London town to appear at Queen Mary College (of which I am an alumni) and University of London's debate (organised by New Turn) entitled "Porn should be banned".  

It turned out I was billed as the headline speaker, so my absence would not have gone down well.

The trip was worthwhile.  As well as being given a tour of the campus, which has vastly changed since I graduated exactly ten years ago, we on the opposing team were the victors by far, with over 90% of attendees voting against the motion.

To top it, it was voted on that I should be given an honorary membership of New Turn Society (http://www.newturn.org.uk/) debates, which was a proud and humbling moment for me.

It was concluded with a trip to Nandos.  Mmmm, chicken!

The Johnny Anglais Interview on OFM, South Africa

Johnny Anglais is interviewed by Kenzy Vinco for OFM, South Africa.

Recorded on the 6th September 2011.

For f**k's sake, go and be a responsible father!

I despair sometimes.  I really do.


Here are exact copies of emails and my responses between me and someone called 'Mike' who was asking for my "urgent advice please?":


Dear Johnny,

I am a single parent (male) but have been recently stung by two bogus 'film industy' companies who promised me some film work if I gave them a 'registration fee' up front. They then offered work which promptly developed a last minute hitch the day before filming was due.....but apparently if I registered for another production meanwhile....etc etc

Embarassing but true, I fell for this scenario more than once, and am now in debt. Can't believe how stupid I have been. They clearly saw how desperate and gullible I was/am...

Please can you advice me how to do this legitimately; who to approach etc? I need to earn some serious cash asap to provide for my daughter (who is 5).
I am 42 but look 10yrs younger than that.
Any help you could offer would be really appreciated.


Mike






Mike,

I'm sorry, but I do not believe anybody should be doing porn out of desperation. Nor do I think that porn offers the financial solution that you think it does. I really think you're barking up the wrong tree and should be targetting your efforts in other things.

Johnny






Johnny,

Thanks for your reply. I am not doing it out of desperation I just meant that this is probably the impression I might have given and so became a 'soft target' for scams. Could you tell me the correct way in so I am not stung again, as i cannot afford to throw money away.
Given my situation, relationships are out.
I am aware that the money side of things is far from great, but i would like to get some measure of control back.
Please can you help by offering me a reliable lead?

Best wishes,
Mike.




I tried to ignore.




Johnny,

All I want to do is try to work with a legitimate company that will not rip me off! Please advise who to contact so I can at least have a fair crack?

Best wishes,
Mike.




You have a child to support. Get a reliable job. Try the job centre. Porn is not the right path. And if you have to ask what a legitimate porn company is after you've experienced what rip-off ones are, then you've clearly learnt nothing from that experience. Bearing in mind most men do not have what it takes to work in porn, your efforts should be targetted in on getting a job, any job, not on fulfilling your fantasy of becoming a porn star at the detriment of feeding your child. Go and be a responsible father.

The story the papers don't want you to hear

Funny, eh? 


Following an article that was run in the Ilford Recorder (http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/news/stripper_teacher_rescued_redbridge_boy_from_pakistan_madrassa_1_1011190) I've had two journalists from big papers take an interest in my story and approach their editors with articles about how I helped my son and the subsequent campaigns I am trying to raise awareness of in relation to this.  It seems neither of the editors of those papers are interested in publishing those stories. Big, bad porn man doing something to help, trying to raise awareness and make a change in a topic other than porn/sex and not posing a potential 'threat' to our innocent children doesn't seem to sell papers. 


Apparently.


So a big thank you for absolutely nothing yet again go to the editors of Der Sturmer (AKA the Daily Mail) for, yet again,demonstrating the right wing media's total inability to want to have a positive impact rather than the constant scare-mongering and hate-inciting bigotry it prefers to involve itself in.  


So, they couldn't help me when my son was in a desperate situation and needed to escape Pakistan and they can't help me to spread awareness now.  (Seriously wondering whether the fact it involves someone with brown skin being helped for once might actually be the problem, and not the fact I get my willy out now and then.)


Well done.
