Luke Carey Ford[1] (born 28 May 1966) is an Australian/American writer, blogger, and former pornography gossip columnist.

His father, Desmond Ford, was a noted Seventh-day Adventist theologian, and was the centre of a theological controversy in the late 1970s and '80s.

In 1995, he became intrigued with the lack of journalistic coverage of the pornography industry, and started to write a book, which became A History of X.

[citation needed] In January 1996, after researching porn for a year, Ford wrote, produced, directed and acted in What Women Want, a pornographic video.

"[8] Ford was sued for defamation multiple times by people in the porn industry, including by RJB Telecom, whom he (as well as the Federal Trade Commission) accused of dishonesty; Christi Lake, whom he mislabeled in a bestiality photo; and Laurie Holmes (widow of John Holmes), for accusations of prostitution on the set.

[10] In August 2001, after urgings of his rabbi, Ford sold his main website, lukeford.com to Netvideogirls.com for $25,000, and created lukeford.net which avoided pornography, and focused more on Jewish issues.
