Khan Tusion, director of the highly controversial Rough Sex series from Anabolic, says the series will no longer be available for sale after February 11. Tusion, however, is quick to point out that no tapes are being recalled and no tapes are being pulled off video shelves, but that the series and its two volumes will pass quiety into the night. It will be replaced by Tusion's new series, Oral Consumption which will be available February 15. Tusion said an informal vote was taken at Anabolic, and, although owner Christopher Alexander, who Tusion describes as being "anti-authority" was for continuing the series, Alexander acceded to the wishes of his advisors.
"It was a business decision," said Tusion. "Anabolic puts out approximately 45 tapes a year. Rough Sex would have comprised another four. The prevailing thought was that there are forces in the business that would like some harm to come to them. They believed this series was ammunition for those forces. It was either put out 50 videos a year including Rough Sex or 46 without it. Either way, they'd continue in their lifestyle. They basically looked at me and said what do you think. I wanted to pull the line. Pornography is not my life, but if some harm would come to my friends over something I did, I couldn't live with myself. I didn't want to have this on my shoulders. That was my personal decision."
