Seymore Butts (AKA Adam Glasser) is more than just a porn impresario.
He's a first amendment freedom fighter who caught a case for fisting on video, and his lawyers didn't give him a five finger discount.
He'll be in Miami for Exxxotica teaching seminars on better sex, signing autographs, taking pictures, and slapping booties.
We got him on the phone. Here's what he had to say about using his thumb, Cuban girls, and running for president.
New Times: Wasup dude. So what's your history with Miami?
Seymore Butts: Well, I used to spend time on Collins Avenue as a young buck visiting my grandparents. It was a lot different place then.
You ever shot here?
I've shot down in Florida, not exactly in Miami. I've shot in Tampa a few times. What the fuck is that caravan thing, Paul Allen from Night Moves Magazine basically flies down a bunch of porn stars and shuttles them around to different strip clubs and adult stores? [Ed.: It's this.]
Tampa is where you became a first amendment freedom fighter, right?
I was just about to say, Tampa Tushy Fest is one of the movies I made down there that did receive some notoriety. I was prosecuted for that movie.
What happened?
Bottom line is, I was prosecuted because of a thumb. They were cool with four fingers in, or even eight fingers in, but not five fingers if it included a thumb. Now, what would have been interesting is if I put four fingers of one hand and and one finger of another and made it five fingers in with no thumbs. Anyway the charges were dropped because it was ridiculous case.
Why do you think they went after you?
Well, you know, America is the land of the free, and also the hypocrites. Those people who generally try to legislate morality often have the dirtiest and most full closets.
You know the Republican National Convention is in Tampa this year?
Guess what? The strip clubs are excited and preparing for their biggest business of the last five years.
And you're a connoisseur right?
Strip clubs are like porn's developmental leagues. I'm established, so the girls come to me, but I am sure the strip clubs are a very fertile recruiting ground for [other] producers of adult content.
What do you think about Miami as the capital of Internet porn?
Hey, I think its a great thing. More power to Miami and those Internet porn kings.
Rubbers or no rubbers?
I think that should be an issue of choice. It's not as black and white as people make it out to be. A condom doesn't guarantee safety, but it does guarantee the downfall of the American adult industry, 'cause there's no way American producers are going to survive when there's gonna be non-condom product coming in from all over the world for American consumers to purchase. And it's all online. They don't even have to leave their house.
True, true.
They think all performers would want that, and from a male perspective 95 percent would be against it, because it will affect their ability to perform. And for females, sex on porn sets is not the same as sex in the bedroom. These girls are going an hour, two, three, four hours at a time, and they're being impaled with very large penises. If you add some latex to that mix, you're talking about the girls getting literally rubbed raw.
Ouch.
Which means they're only able to work one day, take off two weeks, and then, I'd say at least 30 to 40 percent have an allergy to latex, which is common among females.
So, in conclusion...?
It's just not cut and dry, and that's why it should be personal choice. And beyond that, it's people dealing with their own bodies. And so, along that vein, I am considering a presidential run in the future.
Would you ever shoot a porn in Cuba?
Only if Castro invited me. I'm not getting thrown into a Cuban jail. I've been arrested in three different countries, and I'd like to keep it there. Although I do hear the girls are unbelievably gorgeous in Cuba. I have friends who've gone and they tell me they didn't wanna leave. By the way, I'm in no way in support of Castro. I don't want an Ozzie Guillen situation in Miami.
What are you gonna be doing at Exxxotica?
I'm doing two seminars: one on better sex, which is geared toward the ladies on Friday night, and another one on Saturday for a general audience from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. I'll be down there with the beautiful Mari Possa signing autographs, shaking hands, and taking pictures. I'll probably rub a tushy or two, and probably sign one.
Any fisting planned?
Nah, I'll probably avoid that during this trip. No five-finger romancing to be done.
