RJ: You have to get around that. The trick is to not have an orgasm in private. That's what screws you up. If you're going to be having sex in front of the camera later, then hold off on the orgasms.
PB: Aren't women upset that they don't get to make you come?
RJ: Oh, they're fine. The girls I date now understand that I'm in the business.
PB: What bothers you the most about porn now?
RJ: What really gets me is all the girls I never get to work with. It was a lot easier back in the Eighties. I could work with all of them. There was such a select gang of stars. Now, there are so many girls out there. The only ones who got away from me back in the Seventies were Annette Haven and Jessie St. James. Now there are Wicked contract girls and Vivid contract girls and VCA contract girls. They're exclusive to one company, and how many scenes am I going to do for one company? You have to admire Jenna Jameson for being able to establish herself as a star with all those girls around. I haven't done her, though.
PB: Do you have any advice for guys trying to break into porn?
RJ: I tell them the truth, which is that you have to bring a girl. Single men can't get a job. Bring a girl to work with, and you'll get a job immediately. They always want couples. There are agencies you can call in the phone book -- World Modeling being the biggest -- but they're not going to see you unless you're working with a girl. That is, unless there's a gang bang being shot. Then they'll need every dick they can find. The problem is that you'll be on a set surrounded by a bunch of hairy guys.
Now, a single girl can get a job even if she's average-looking. There's always work for a new girl. We've got all these beautiful Russian girls and Czechoslovakian girls coming in. They're gorgeous with natural bodies, and they'll do anything. Most of the American girls are dancers coming into the business, and they're very selective about what they'll do and who they'll work with. These foreign girls will work with anybody.
PB: Looking back, do you have a favorite sex scene that you've done?
RJ: I hope that I keep having new favorite moments, but it was pretty great back in the Seventies and Eighties. There was no Viagra, and people didn't have to be tested for AIDS every month. You'd see a gorgeous girl on the set and go right over and hide the bacon. But the girls are looking better all the time. And the older I get, the younger the girls look.
If you want to see something that really captures me as a lover, there's Deep Throat II and John Leslie's Fresh Meat and recently there's been San Fernando Jones & the Temple of Poon. Maybe my best scene is in a film called Put It In Reverse, Part 3. That has me doing 14 girls at once. Some name actresses in the biz, too. And I had to keep changing rubbers while maintaining a boner.
PB: You have a reputation as a real stunt cock. A lot of people were surprised when you got it up for a senior citizen in 87 & Still Banging.
