Porn Valley- KSEX on Wednesday nights broadcasts its "best of" in the 5pm time slot. On a recent edition, a show was aired featuring Henri Pachard as a guest of the late Mike Rick, founder of the station.
Pachard mentioned how he acquired his porn name, noting that his wife at the time suggested using one.
"We'd be so embarrassed at the club," he said. "It was in White Plains, NY and I was a member of a private yacht club." After two weeks as a member, questions started being asked as to what he did for a living. He said he made movies.
"You know anything about adult movies?" Pachard was asked, them someone brought up a movie titled Babylon Pink.
"I said I know that movie- I produced that movie. I sent them a screening copy and I was their hero." Pachard shot his first adult movie in 1967, a movie titled Scare Their Pants Off.
"It was a scary movie that had some bare breasts, nipple and pubic hair," he said. Rick observed that if a girl solicits you, and you offer her money, you can go to jail.
"But if you announce in advance that you're going to do a film and you say to a girl, hey I'll give you $100 to go down on me- it's totally legal. It's not soliciting. It's not pandering. Back in your day before all this air kind of got cleaned out, did you guys run the risk of being busted?"
Pachard told a story about a woman who came up to him saying, "I'll do anything you want for $200. I said will you paint my house?" Pachard said he always enjoyed the company of prostitutes.
"Because I know exactly where I stand with them," he explained. "I tend to think that most of the women that I cast and book and film every day in this business are very flexible in their own lifestyles. They might appear in a scene for me that I put in a movie and release and they have a word for it. They call it a private scene. That's a scene they don't care about it. There's no director. There's no actor. It's a guy that's paying them X-amount of dollars to do what they're going to do. That's fine."
Pachard felt if there's going to be any kind of women's independence it would have to begin with the right to sell their pussy.
"If they have the right to do that, their independence will be forever."
It was mentioned that Pachard directed The Devil in Miss Jones Part 2, and it was one of the biggest budgeted porn films for its time at $350,000.
"Back in the film business we would spend from $150,000 to $350,000 for an adult film," he went on to say. "Today we spend anywhere from $3,000 to $30,000 for an adult video. Anybody can do it. There's no magic to it. You buy a camera, it's point and shoot." And back in the day, Pachard continued, you had to rehearse. Asked if ever worked with Marilyn Chambers, Pachard said only met her several months prior to the KSEX interview to talk about a project. Prior to that it was 25 years before in Kansas City when she was appearing in a theater, The Dove.
"What the hell was that movie she was in- not Behind the Green Door but the next one."
Pachard first began shooting movies in 1964, in the "educational" genre, he said.
"We shot frogs changing," he laughed. "I started shooting adult movies in 1967." Rick seemed to remember Madonna having done a couple of pornos.
"One was called A Certain Sacrifice and it was softcore, artistic movie," said Rick. "The other one Rick couldn't remember but said he had some stills from it. But this one is a triple hardcore. She's licking some girl's anus and going down on some dude. She's wearing a tie. It is Madonna. These very nasty people owned it and I refused to take a copy because they said even if one copy gets out..."
The subject got on to fitness, and Pachard said he always felt intimidated around women in that field.
"I drink straight whiskey, I smoke cigarettes and I play poke, and stay up late," he explained.
Rick was curious if Pachard felt heat from the law when he was shooting in New York
"Did you have to pull curtains and made sure no one knew you were shooting?" Pachard said it was interesting he brought that up and recalled making a movie with Vanessa del Rio.
"We had hired a new actor for the very first time- a little skinny guy- and we're shooting a scene with Del Rio who was a major star and Jerry Butler who was an outrageous performer. And this little skinny guy. We were shooting film. And we built this city that looked like a public bathroom. Next thing this guy drops his trousers. I though he'd poke the wall down." Rick observed that Del Rio's clit was probably bigger than his own penis. Pachard noted that Del Rio started weightlifting and taking steroids where women acquire a little dick.
Pachard went on to talk about how he did cocaine back in the Eighties, pointing out that coke is not your dick's friend.
Pachard then talked about having sex at various stages of your life, feeling that older men make better lovers because they don't give a shit.
"In the final alaysis we're not in such a big hurry, so when we do have sex we take our time with it and it's a lot more fun- if we don't cum it's no big deal." Rick wondered if that thinking applied to erections as well.
"There's two times when it's tragic," Pachard mused. And then Rick translated: "It's bad enough that it was the first time you couldn't do it twice."
"I rely on Viagra a lot," said Pachard. "I love Viagra. I carry it around with me just in case I get mugged. I beat them to death with my dick. It seems to add length, a good inch."
