Internet Takes Reality By Storm
It’s been said that the only real thing about porn is the money. While that may seem spot-on in a world full of enhanced breasts, fake orgasms and chemically-induced hard-ons, the adult industry is in the middle of a movement that has offered consumers content that is as real as ever.

Aside from writing and directing all of the girl-girl movies coming out on Girlfriends Films, the company he owns, O’Connell also helps run the day-to-day operations of his popular production house.
