cancer and porn?

A dear friend of mine had cancer recently.
He is a porn producer that I've worked with many times. He is also a father who is proud of his family. He is a boyfriend who loves boundlessly.
I've never seen him sad or depressed. Maybe because cancer teaches us that every moment that we do have is one to be thankful for.  Each day on set He'd carry my bags, open my doors and treat me like a princess. Now I'm no diva. I'm perfectly capable of opening door for myself. But he would insist that I allow him to be a gentlman. Even when he was going in and out of the hospital for cancer treatments I had to argue with him to let me carry my own bags.
One day My girlfriend and I went to the hospital to see him after he had been repaired with man made body parts. He said he wanted to tell us something... (uh oh)
Now my girlfriend is the emotional hippy type and I'm uncomfortable with tears so I make jokes non stop to ease the tension in the air. I really hate to see people cry. So I joked about my unsuccessful love life. (it's always good for a laugh)
In the cafateria he started to make his big announcment. Tears poured from his face a he explained that what procedures has taken place. His voice cracked when he told us that the Dr had looked over his progress and said,
"You are now cancer free"

I'm choking back tears just remembering the moment.

It must have been incredible for the Dr to be able to tell someone who thought he was one foot in the grave, that he's gonna live!

Months later he's back on his feet. Directing, editing and producing porn. ...and back to opening doors and carrying my bags. (the light ones anyways, like I said I'm no diva. but you gotta let a man be a gentleman)

The treatments may have effected his manhood. But they also gave him a new found appreciation for all that is beautiful.

Now I understand some fetish porn that he produces much better. Being turned on, the chase, the exhileration is sometimes all you need. Those who would rather watch a women doing bicep curls, or walking in peep toe stilettos or perhaps they like goddess worship. They don't need a climax. The appreciation of a woman's body, her mouth her full, moist, pouty lips.. That's porn for them.

There's nothing weird about it. differnt strokes for different folks. and for some no stroking at all.
