Roger T. Pipe

Roger T. Pipe (born October 17, 1967) is an American pornographic film critic, adult radio commentator, and occasional writer and director[1][2] who resides in California.

[4] He has been quoted and referenced in books like Necroculture by Charles Thorpe (Springer Publishing, 2016),[5] Violence and the Pornographic Imaginary by Natalie J. Purcell (Routledge, 2012),[6] The Aesthetics of Degradation by Adrian Nathan West (Watkins Media, 2016)[7] A History of X by Luke Ford (Prometheus Books, 1999)[8] and Il porno di massa by Pietro Adamo (R. Cortina, 2004).

In 2005, Pipe joined The Daily Noise, an uncensored entertainment radio talk show broadcast out of Las Vegas, hosted by spin jocks Kaan Soler and Jimmy Diggs, as a weekly guest commentator.

In addition to the podcasts, his site also offers textual transcripts of the interviews, galleries of industry giants and amateur fans, and a wide selection of reviews of websites and sex toys.

Despite being at the heart of the industry, Pipe grapples with the implications of porn in regards to the long-term effects it can have on its stars, urging aspiring actors and actresses to be absolutely sure they want to get involved in adult entertainment.

My idea of perfect varies from woman to woman…I find beauty in just about every shape and size.”[13] Pipe has also voiced his frustration about the treatment of women within the industry, criticizing many as being hurt by the “Jackassization,” (a term referring to the MTV show, "Jackass," which popularizes a group of individuals performing dangerous—and arguably, degrading—stunts for laughs and shock effect) of many of the industry's most popular films.

[24] Following the outbreak of HIV among five actors (beginning with Darren James) in the spring of 2004, Pipe expressed his disappointment that the advent of the Internet had opened up the door for anyone to shoot, which can exclude those involved from being in safe, professional environments and circumstances.
