When I interviewed Alex Salgado in the Erotic Salon of Barcelona Apricots, there were still two days until the event was over. In those days my biggest concern was not to die drowned in hectoliters of body fluids that dotted the stage. During the four days I never took off my raincoat for monsoon rain and mask with snorkel. Alex Salgado, who has much more experience than me in this, told me that the salon always takes some spare clothes because “as it is not water, then when returning home by subway or bus people move away and nobody wants sit with me. “
Marginalization and rejection, this sometimes means the hard work that Alex Salgado has done. For those who do not know who is Alex ,is a broadcaster whose radio shows focus on sex and pornography. It recently expanded the range of contents creating a new program dedicated to other even more cultured themes: the heart and the gossip.
Alex, Why did you decide to talk about sex and pornography? Was it the only way you found to see a naked woman up close? Well, the quickest and most right-wing response would be to capitalize on success and money. But the truth is that sex has always looked for me. During the radio stage, that is, before I switched to the Internet format, I opened phone lines and people called me to confess that I was making horny their husband, that now they want to go to an exchange club, how she ate it … I did not ask for that, but people have always seen in me a kind of strange confessor with whom they can talk. Then I decided to reconvert it and since sex was looking for me, I decided to talk about it. When I went to Internet radio, not being live and not having the option of people calling me to explain their adventures, what I did was to resort to the porn industry to continue maintaining the level of Marranism that claims the audience. One day, I decided to talk about something different that not include sex, no one would listen to me.
Have you ever got horny when recording a program? Never. Well, 5 minutes ago I was recording with a porn actress and during the interview she got me involved and nothing happen. I’ve never had an erection doing a program.
When they put their hand on you … Do you leave without saying anything? No longer, it’s that a moment has arrived that is As if your friend or neighbor were touching you, I do not know … it’s part of the business. You have to deal with it.
In your privacy have you masturbated, thought about the most mischievous interviews? Look, something terrible is happening to me: imagine you were a porn actress, you can play a lot and I can play by watching your scenes. If I interview you tomorrow, you will lose the sex appeal completely …
And why does it happen to you why you hear them talking or is there another reason? LAUGHTER! Well, yes, first because When you speak with them you realize that for sure they don’t have an university degree, and then because a particular bond is created. I’ll explain: there are many people who have a bad conception about my program, think that I talk about porn but it’s not like that: I talk with porn actors in life. Now, for example, the same girl who touch me ended up crying in the interview …
How small is it? LAUGHTER! It could be, but She actually cried because she reminds her childhood. Or for example, another actor who was interviewing before told me that he owes € 4,000 to the bank and that he almost does not reach the end of the month. In the end, knowing those personal and intimate details, will not allow me to masturbate thinking about them.
I think that if you masturbate thinking about the debt that has that poor actor or the problems that this poor prostitutes had to fight against… but let’s go back to your programs. For some time now you have introduced new themes related to the celebrity and the heart. What sells more, sex or gossip? Both sell very well and I’ll tell you more: deep down they’re the same thing. The level of sex, egocentrism and cocaine is the same on all sides. Then it does not matter if you interview a tertulian of the heart, that a porn actor. The audience will be great for both.
What do you think of mainstream porn? Do you think that will come a time that mentality will change and the topic will be accepted by the society? To be honest, I don’t think so! Because porn is not the problem, the problem is people. I think they could shoot another kind of porn and that people will not want to see it because they want to see the porn of a lifetime. And the demonstration is that the few directors who have tried to do it , that was called “porn for women” and that have failed miserably and have had to do normal porn again.
And as an example we can talk about Erika Lust? Economically Erika Lust’s product is not viable. Erika Lust, or to a certain extent the feminist discourse of Amarna Miller, fits very well in programs like Buenafuente or Risto Mejide, but when it comes to … excuse the expression … when it comes to masturbation, people look for something else. Why do people watch porn? they watch to get horny masturbate, as a man, or a woman, as also a couple and then end up fucking, that’s the way it is, porn is that. Nobody sees porn as you can see a horror movie, people want to masturbate for sure. And with Erika Lust’s you can’t do it.
But the target of Erika Lust is different, not the man accustomed to the mainstream porn you are looking for only the straw, what do you think? Yes, but I repeat, porn serves to get horny and masturbate. That’s like I’m telling you that people go to a dating house to chat. Some of them will go there to have a good company, but most will fuck! The same happen with porn. Look at the number of people here with mobiles and cameras recording the shows. For what? So that they go home and then make a straw. The product of Erika Lust is very good so that tomorrow is your birthday and I’ll give it to you and make a joke, or also in a bachelorette party: “Look, a movie by Erika Lust!” – “Oh, what pretty!!”. It’s good because I’m not giving you a super gross German porn movie, which is what you’re going to actually watch. I call all this a posture, it’s hipster porn.
And so it was that Alex put an end to our talk, leaving his judgment on porn clearer than a year they just bleach. Even so, you can ask him more questions about this topic or what comes out of there writing directly to him in all his social networks. Surely it will have a satisfactory answer for all of you.
