No one cared if a villa cost $2,000s to hire for a week. My first Danish shoot was at a country estate. There were 10 extras booked for the whole week and spent most of our time lounging around in the mansion or sunbathing on the lawn. 8 girls, 4 male studs and a series of scenes of the girls being very eager to offer up their bodies. Two crews shooting one scene a day each for a 15-20-minute loop. Never saw the end film, I do know they shot and reshot everything.

I was paid $160 a fuck, doing 5 scenes I walked away with $800. And stayed working in Europe once a month or sometimes two. So I could bum around Europe on the proceeds.

Shooting on film is expensive and annoying when it has to be shot in three version. Soft, Medium and Hard. We tended to do things 3 times and often from different angles. This was essential because the softcore version made more money than the hardcore. A scene we watch today on HBO stretched out a bit longer, made more money than the hardcore version!!

So we did the intro boy meets girl only need one version of this. Then the girl goes for it, boy's are, no dick, limp dick, no penetration, full penetration. After a while, it becomes boring, even tedious. It's not like I needed the sex,it was all about the money and not working in a 9-5 job in a factory.
