Editorial Note
"Give me those old-time 70's porn flicks," declared my friend Jimmy,
"when the film was grainy and everyone had a mustache." Sitting in my
corner bar the other night with some friends watching videos, Jimmy went on to
give us a dissertation on what he didn't like about current videos, and told us
he hadn't watched a porno-film made "since Kip Noll first sneered his way
through a fuck scene." Predictably, the rest of the night was given over
to sharing opinions like, "The guys are better looking nowadays." and
"How come the rimming scenes are so short?" and of course, "When
they shave their nuts, it makes all the dicks look the same." At first it
was just my three friends and the bartender involved in the heated debate, but
as the credits rolled on the first video of the evening, I sat back and listened
as every guy in the bar got into the act. When I told a colleague on the West
Coast of the "roundtable" I had witnessed, he told me he would love
to hear all the detail, and that he actually uses his friends' suggestions during
"story meetings"—yes that's what they call them. Next thing you
know, I had volunteered the services of my faithful readers. And much as I would
like to think Mandate satisfies everybody's needs, I know a lot of you watch your
share of films, and this is your chance to let the producers know what you think:
So if you'd like to put in your two gay cents, mail in.I'll publish the results
in a few months. Thanks, guys. Stay dirty.
