The Man Behind Online Porn's 'Steve Lightspeed'
Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "'In the online pornography business, just about everybody has heard of Steve Lightspeed,' who runs a network of sites, reports the Wall Street Journal Online. 'But few in the porn world know much about Steve Jones, the 39-year-old married father of two behind the Lightspeed persona -- and that's the way he wants to keep it.' In WSJ.com's profile of Jones, tension between his job and the rest of his life is evident: 'He said he and his wife mostly socialize with others inside the porn business, in part because it avoids the awkwardness of explaining his line of work. "Most of our friends tend to be in the industry," he said. Relationships with family members can also be tricky. Mr. Jones's mother works for Lightspeed Media, handling customer service duties, but he said some relatives don't know about his work and likely wouldn't approve.'"
'But few in the porn world know much about Steve Jones, the 39-year-old married father of two behind the Lightspeed persona -- and that's the way he wants to keep it.' I hear slashdot is a great place for a porn king to be noticed.
Cool. The Wall Street Journal is submitting their own articles to Slashdot now. Nothing like a little free advertising.

Have no worries, your secrets are safe with us.
... but he said some relatives don't know about his work ...
They do now.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
Excellent! I'm all set to follow in his footsteps!
A post a day keeps productivity at bay.
"Mr. Jones's mother works for Lightspeed Media, handling customer service duties..." I'm sorry but that just makes me LOL!

Yeah right. And Steve Ballmer's children have never touched an iPod or used Google.
They'll have an idea something is not quite right. Moving house because the neighbours won't let you play with their kids? Not at all suspicious.
Keep up the good work though, Superdad! Shame you can't get that bumper sticker "Your AP kid gets DP'd by my kids".
Yah, I don't want my family to know I work with computers either. In order to avoid the embarrasment, I tell them I'm a piano player at a brothel.
...when they become teenagers.

Lightspeed Jr: "*cough*, well..."
I have a feeling they'll be very popular at High School :)

which it'd be hard to assume it isn't, then sir, I owe you a drink.
You don't owe him anything. If anything, he owes you a few boxes of tissues.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
I wonder if you work for Lightspeed Media Corp, do you get in trouble if porn is NOT found on your PC?
In my eye, its not even porn. But there is no clear definition of porn at this time.
Yeah, if you don't start with a horse, a midget, a tub of lard and a big blue tarp it hardly qualifies.
Then there's San Francisco. I stop in at a bondage shop to see a friend who works there and find the manager, a striking blonde who's been in several pornos and is unashamed about it, working the cash register. She usually has her clerks doing that, and I ask her where everyone is. "Oh, they're at dildo training".
then a lot of men are married to porn stars
