Ed Lee, the evil genius behind the venerable Nu-West / Leda spanking porn empire, has begun to publish a memoir in the nature of a history of his companies. It’s an interesting read by a courageous man:
Nothing had really changed legally when I started Nu-West, and I was warned by everybody and his brother that I would be in trouble with the law if I dared to disseminate photos or real spankings or even fake spanking that looked real. That didn’t sit very well with me. I had done two tours in Vietnam and after what the government did to us there, I didn’t have too much respect for it or its moral standards. If Newsweek Magazine could run a front page picture of a little Vietnamese girl walking naked and crying after being napalmed. I sure as hell could show pictures of a half naked adult woman with a red ass.
I was determined not only to start a company that produced and disseminated photos of real spankings, but I would also do it openly. I wasn’t going to hide from anyone. This cost me a marriage and it caused the loss of a lot of friends who couldn’t understand why a respected and decorated First Sergeant of Marines could possibly go into such a shabby and dishonorable business. My answer to my Marine buddies who got on my case was, so it’s okay to kill other humans we don’t even know, like we did, but it’s not okay for me to produce picture of adults doing a little spanking? Fuck all of you.
