Rick Savage has plenty to say about his life as a porn performer and director, particularly in his fetish productions. If you enjoyed A Letter From Rick Savage-Part 1, you're going to love Part 2:

"One of the nicer compliments I got one day came from a guy who'd just seen two BDSM videos. One of mine, and one from a very well established bondage video company. He told me, 'The other video was a lot more severe than yours, but...YOURS felt so much more real.' Well...that was my aim. Sometimes my models were very new to the whole BDSM scene, so we were taking baby steps. Besides making movies with a cast of 4 or 5 people, I began doing what I guess the industry would call 'gonzo' style BDSM movies, in that it was like reality TV, only unlike reality TV, it was...real. It was almost always one girl, me and a camera on a tripod. With just the two of us alone in the room or the dungeon, it allowed for a more intimate feeling. Without a crew of onlookers, I found that the girl never felt the need to 'perform' for an audience. Her reaction could just be...honest. NOT that you never hear a phony moan coming from some of my models. Some of them are just conditioned, trained to do that, especially if they've already worked in vanilla porn movies or BDSM movies for other directors.

Even though I would usually try to push my subject to her limit, I like to think that I was sensitive, could read a woman well. And of course, as this was a professional situation, I always insisted that there be a safe word. Well...I shouldn't say 'always.' Out of the more than 330 BDSM movies I eventually produced, there were 3 or 4 occasions where a model would BEG me not to give her a safe word, telling me that knowing they could stop everything at any time, just took all the joy out of the experience. They WANTED to submit completely. Some actually WANTED fear. They said fear was a turn on. Being bound and feeling completely at the mercy of their 'top' was what floated their boat. So over the years, there were 3, maybe 4 models who I'd let work for me without a safe word. But...I trusted myself, which ultimately, is what matters. To me any way. To this day, out of all those movies, I've never heard of a model saying that she felt abused in one of my movies. We made some REALLY good stuff over the years. And the next day...everybody felt good about it.

The hundred and fifty or so titles that I have on my Rick Savage studio on HotMovies.com are almost ALL in this style of 'me, a girl, and a camera on a tripod.' Hence...the real feel. Maybe 10 of the movies feature a mistress topping a man, or a couple of times, one lady topping another lady. But most of the movies are me topping a lady. I have the ability to enjoy certain types of pain, but I've never found a submissive bone in my body, so...when it's a mistress topping a guy...it's never me.

I just said something that might have surprised a few people - mentioning that I can appreciate certain types of pain. Well...bodybuilders might lay claim to the saying 'no pain, no gain,' but...they don't have a thing on serious ballet students. In my early 20's I worked on scholarship at the Boston Ballet and Boston Conservatory. And the way to get your body to do things it wasn't born to do...is through pain. Slow, self-administered: twist your leg outwards or upwards as far as it will go...and then push further. When I was first starting out, it was not uncommon to see students just pass out. Hell, on more than one occasion I was the student who began to pass out.

In return for my scholarship at the Boston Ballet, once a week, it was my responsibility to sweep the studios and dressing rooms and dump the trash cans. Female ballet students put cotton balls in the tips of their toe shoes for two reasons. To make it a little less painful to learn how to dance "on pointe," but also to form a perfect mold for toes to fit into. They wanted stability, no wiggle room, so it would be easier to balance. Now, the cotton balls might have softened the inside of the toe a little. But if you want to question how much pain the young ladies of the ballet would endure for the sake of their art, think about this. Once a week, I'd empty the trash cans of the lady's dressing room. And once a week, I got to see countless cotton balls almost completely soaked in blood.

Around the time I began my studies at the Boston Ballet, I tried to read Freud's last book, Beyond The Pleasure Principle. I say 'tried' because most of it was over my head. Freud was dying of cancer at the time, I believe, and was on plenty of drugs. Well...from what I hear he was frequently on plenty of drugs. But, he spoke in the book about the fine line between pain and pleasure. How, as you gradually increase stimuli, the feeling is more pleasureful...and more pleasureful...until you reach that line where your mind isn't sure. And it asks itself, 'Is that pleasure, or pain?' We could come up with many examples. Turning up the hot water in the shower. Increasing the pressure in a massage. Or, a very simple example, the squeezing of a woman's nipple.

In one, exactly ONE of my movies, I take a flogging. To be clear, I did NOT submit to the actress. What happened was...we were almost finished filming. Me and an actress who'd been switching, had alternated topping 2 submissive women. As the shoot was nearing an end, I was VERY unsatisfied with the quality of the S&M. I felt the movie needed a good kick in the ass, a boost in energy to finish the movie. So, I took off my shirt, leaned forward putting my hands on the spanking horse and said to the Domme, who had actually been a switch in the movie, said something to the effect of, "All I do is give. All I do is GIVE you girls pleasure. Well it's time for MASTER to receive a little joy." And I handed the actress the flogger and she says something like, "Oh Master, I couldn't. I could never strike you." BUT...I COMMANDED her to do it. Well...she was doing an ok job, but...I was looking for more intensity, so I looked over my shoulder and started cursing at her, called her a pathetic pussy. Even spitting in her direction. I said something to her in disgust, something like, "Is that the best you can do? After all the pleasure I've given you? That's the BEST you can do for me?"

Eventually Kembra, that was the name of the switch, Kembra Pfahler, who is also the lead singer of the cult-glam rock group The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, eventually cranked it up a bit, but...she still could've hit harder. So...I enjoyed the end of that movie. Nothing quite like a good, firm back flogging to leave you feeling dreamy.

To this day I get compliments on these one-on-one movies that I've posted in my HotMovies.com studio. Probably the most flattering thing is when web/Masters tell me that I was their inspiration, that I was the reason they began exploring BDSM and/or started shooting and they now have their own website. All I can think to say is, I've always believed that whether a person is performing or directing, they need to always respect the customer, the viewer. They have an obligation to always try their best to present that viewer with truth. So...that's the approach I take. 'Ye reap what you sow,' as they say. What I've reaped, is people thanking me, telling me they enjoyed my work. That's just as fulfilling as when I whip a woman into near delirium and she turns to me with dreamy eyes and says 'Thank you so much, Master. Thank you.' What can I say. I just like making people happy. Hope you'll enjoy some moments in my Rick Savage studio here on HotMovies.com."
