Season 4

Ashley finds himself in Los Angeles in the thick of the West Coast porn industry. Here he meets a number of desperate wannabes, hell bent on a career spent on their back. There’s the poverty stricken first-timer, eking out dollars to pay the rent. A nineteen year old whose dreams of fame & fortune come to a sticky end and, well, the three amigos… a triumvirate of young studs who are given the opportunity of a lifetime to try out with a major porn star. Their resulting humiliation is tangible.

It’s the age old excuse… darling it’s not porn, it’s art. Well is there any modicum of truth to this? Ashley Hames travels the globe on a mission to find out. His journey will take him to Seattle and a sculptor who builds furniture out of trussed-up women. In California he witnesses nude choking and near drowning displays that take expressive art to new levels. And in Australia, Ash puts his own piece to canvass painting still life nudes with… his penis.

Ashley sets up home with two married couples in Los Angeles’ infamous San Fernando Valley, the spiritual home of the porn industry. Here he lives with top US adult star Taylor Way and her husband of 15 years. How has there marriage lasted so long when every day she commits the ultimate betrayal of their vows, whilst he films? It’s a bizarre arrangement indeed. The second couple stretch things even further. Ash meets a married mother who for her fiftieth birthday has decided to become a porn actress and go anal for the first time with three young studs. Ash watches the action with her doting husband of thirty years and tears are brought to everyone’s eyes.

Ashley tackles the American West coast in pursuit of some of the strangest folk in town. Sadists, masochists, body piercers and genital tramplers are just some of the oddballs he meets on a journey that can only end one way. With Ashley in a whole heap of pain himself.

Ashley visits Japan for the first time and is blown away by what he finds there. The complex eastern belief systems of our Asian friends make it difficult for Ash to get his head round the bizarreness of their sexual attitudes. Sex on public transport, tentacle porn, and a hotel full of rubber sex slaves await him. Ash is also invited to appear as a judge on a national TV stations search for the industries latest porn actress, and the tables are turned as his performance is judged in the Tokyo Air Sex championships.

We always thought the Aussies were a relaxed bunch, but we had no idea… Travelling the length of the Eastern Australian Coast Ashley uncovers pockets of seemingly normal folk who harbour weird sexual urges. In this show, Ash is invited into the suburban homes of Adult Babies, a couple who think they are dogs and a group of mates who love nothing more than to spend their evenings filming group sex.

Ashley travels the globe to seek out a very dark world indeed. The world of the sexual fantasist. Strange men and women who’ll stop at nothing to live out their wildest erotic dreams. Orgies, torture victims, bizarre sex pigs… Ashley encounters them all before succumbing to his own dark fantasy: he attempts to give himself breasts.

From Europe, to Australia, to Japan. Ashley goes on a global spending spree to see what’s on offer from the world of prostitution. He cleans the sheets in Australia’s busiest brothel, visits a state of the art bordello in Prague, and samples the delights in a 5 million Euro luxury German knocking shop. The line is eventually crossed as Ashley sells his own body for hard cash.

Since the fall of the iron curtain, Eastern Europe has embraced capitalism and millions now flock there each year to spend their hard earned cash. Most go to enjoy the beautiful scenery, others for untold pleasure and sexual gratification. Even pornographic film makers from as far as America are taking advantage of the economic benefits of shooting there. Ashley jumps on the band wagon flying to this land of opportunity to meet some of these ‘artists’. He gets involved in an orgy party consisting of 100 beautiful Czech girls, and has to hold his breath as he witnesses first hand, the ancient sexual ritual of Bukakke.

Ashley heads to Seattle to make Sin Cities first ever pornographic movie. Under the watchful eye of America’s finest schlock horror porn specialist, Ashley struggles to direct his ensemble of zombies, nudes and sexual vicars. Scorcese he is not but with only four days to shoot will Ash succeed in getting anything at all on film?
