Here is a brilliant, recent piece by the guy I would call God's Own Writer, if I wasn't an atheist - Martin Amis:

The article is about the porn industry, and really tells everything that can be said about the subject. Not that I am an expert.
Timothy McSweeney put one of the highlights of the Amis piece in his own words:
"Now that I have begun typing, this discussion is reminding me of a joke Martin Amis told prior to his reading this past week in Toronto.
Researching his next novel, Amis has been spending alot of time in Los Angeles taking a close look at the multi-billion dollar pornography industry. In the course of his work - just a couple of weeks ago he said - he was sitting at the poolside in a porno villa with a porno king (I cannot remember his name, but he is the guy responsible for the Seymour Butts movies). Amis asked the porno king "Why the fascination with anal sex, not only in your work, but in the industry in general?"
The king got as pensive as he ever did and replied "Because, pussy is bullshit."
Amis asked for, and received, an elaboration on the claim ... something to do with the search for authenticity, but that is neither here nor there. The joke was that this story came up a few days back when Amis was dining in New York with Ian McEwan, Christopher Hitchens, and Salman Rushdie. The guys decided that if pussy = bullshit, then bullshit = pussy. The wit began to fly, as they discussed 'Bullshit in boots,' 'The Owl and the Bullshit Cat,' on up to that famous Bond girl Bullshit Galore, and the line which capped the night (according to Amis), Rushdie's 'Octabullshit.'
