Going to a porn convention is a lot like speed dating. The difference is that the amount of time a porn star spends with you is directly dependent on how much of her merchandise you buy, or how much press you can give her.

Our “interview” ended up with me in her hotel room, photographing Preston in lingerie we had picked out at a sex shop.
