Once Upon A Time In Porn’s Innocence
Owner of an an M.O. as quaint as the camcorder itself, Ed Powers—not his birth name—got into porn for intellectual reasons. He was a kid handing out tokens in the sex shops that were, trust me, children, voluminous in the old Times Square. It was 1984 when Powers laid eyes on Anthony Spinelli's theatrical release Reel People. ("The Reel People in this motion picture are real people. They are sexually liberated folks who have allowed the producers of this film to freely discuss with them their sexual standards, beliefs and principles... and if they feel that their dialogue and erotic energy is right, they will have a sexual encounter with a new partner for the first time, and will permit it to be filmed. Remember, the Reel People you are about to see are not actors, they are real people!")
