He managed to be a &#8220;porn king&#8221; with a less sleazy demeanour than many of those who attempted to emulate him. Maybe that was because he was the first, or maybe it&#8217;s just his legendary status that illuminates him in a glowing light. Either way there&#8217;s a metal pole with a nubile angel waiting for him somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Whether she has wings or horns is I suppose a matter for his maker to decide.
