In Lust We Trust

Intrepid journalist and bestselling author Gerrie Lim invites you to join him on an unusual road trip, through his adoptive home town of Los Angeles, California, and its deceptively suburban San Fernando Valley-the ground-zero of the ever-booming, US$12-billion American porn industry. His chronicle spans a ten-year cycle, during which he interviewed adult-film superstars like Jenna Jameson, Jill Kelly and Silvia Saint, shared with Asia Carrera and Annabel Chong mutual thoughts on being Asian in a largely non-Asian field, and filed reportage from film shoots as the 'Cinema Blue' columnist for Penthouse Variations as well as stories about adult Internet technologies as the International Correspondent for AVN Online. Learn firsthand about the curious onstage antics of Jenna Jameson, Ava Vincent, Tabitha Stevens, Tera Patrick, Asia Carrera, Cassidey, Stephanie Swift, Asia Carrera, Annabel Chong, Gwen Summers, Stephanie Swift, Kira Kener, Kobe Tai, Anna Span, Rebecca Lord, Jodie Moore, Kyla Cole, Monica Mayhem and Silvia Saint. This compelling new work combines sizzling elements of sex and celebrity to document a curious and complex world. Enter, then, the perverse universe of the porn star, laced with Lim's candidly offbeat observations and dangerously wry wit.
