Social relationships are arbitrary and capricious... business relationships are about business: traffic, sales, statistics, monetary payments...

I'm not pleased to read here through you that AVN, which publishes the Industry Directory, and the monthly trade magazine, and the daily news e-mail, advocates a 'good ol' boys' slap-on-the-back clique when it comes to business networking in the adult entertainment market!

If, as you're saying, Distributors want to have personal sex with my actors/models in order to carry my DVDs, or be perked with drugs and liquor, then I'll be content to peddle my wares outside of that network.
