long read, but funny, and pitiful too
Writer Joe Diamond Wants Sex With Jennifer Steele, But He Doesn’t Want To Pay For It
Jennifer Steele writes me: “I don’t know if you know this Joe Diamond guy, but since when does starving-artist-dick become acceptable payment for adult stars doing magazine work?”
Joe Diamond replies: “Luke, I wasn’t writing to her as an adult star to suggest that she do magazine work for free. I was writing to her in her capacity as an escort (www.jennifersteele.com/welcome.htm invites people to make an “appointment” with her through escort agency Exotica 2000) to see if she’d let me try out her services in exchange for coverage. It’s journalistic “freeloading,” I admit, but it’s no different than a restaurant giving a meal on the house to a food critic.”
Their email exchange follows:
Joe Diamond begins:
Hey, Jennifer. I’m a NY-based writer for various men’s magazines, including Oui, Fox, Hustler and Maxim. (See www.riojoe.com for some of my stuff.) I’d love to spend some “quality time” with you when you’re in the Big Apple. Unfortunately, I’m just a poor struggling “wordsmith” who’s barely got a pot to piss in, as the saying goes. But I could do a great feature on you, if that’s cool. Please drop me a line. By the way, have you been back to Brazil since filming “Puck”? I’m what you’d call a Brazil “nut.” I recently did an article for Hustler on my “sexcapades” in Rio. You can see it online starting at http://www.joediamond.us/wildside/riohustcov.htm . I’m also working on a book about Rio. Details here: http://www.joediamond.us/book.htm
Jennifer responds: “Are you saying you want me to f— you for an article in Oui?”
Joe replies:
The angle could be:
“Jennifer Steele: The female behind the flames”
Or “Jennifer Steele: The babe behind the blaze”
Or “Jennifer Steele Ignites Inferno of Passion”
Or “Red-Hot Steele Makes me Sizzle in all the Right Places”Some of these admittedly are really lame. They’re just off the top of my head.
Jennifer responds:
OK…so let me ask you this. If this article-writing is what you do, and you think I’d make a cool story (which I know I would), where does f—ing you come into play when I’d be working to do the interview and the photo shoot as it is? Now if you want to come to my hotel, smoke a joint, hang, and order room service, do an interview and shoot some photos, I’d be down for THAT…But the gratuitous sex? I have to save that for those who pay my rent. , and I’m sure you know that every Tom Dick and Harry likes to say they’ll put you in a magazine. The real people don’t expect freebies.
Joe responds:
>Besides…I’ve never heard of you
Check out some of my articles at www.riojoe.com . Also, I can put you in touch with editors and people in the porn biz who can vouch for me.

The theme of the article I’m working on is what it’s like to have sex with a porn star. It would go into my monthly column in Oui Magazine. A British porn-magazine editor told me at AVN Expo last month that he’s running a series of articles called “Test Drive,” where the writer sleeps with various porn stars. My idea is based on that.
You and I are both professionals who get paid for what we do. Unfortunately, I make quite a bit less for my articles than you do for your services. If the writing did pay me enough, I’d have no problem paying you for your time because sleeping with a gorgeous porn star would make for a great story. (Not to mention that you’re probably amazing in bed.) But it’s a catch-22: I can’t afford to pay you for your time, and I don’t know that I can convince you that the article would have enough publicity value for you to make it worth your time.
