1:39🔗VoiceoverAnd it is Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. The phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. And as we start yet another chaotic version of The Loveline Show, I was just sitting here trying to send some email, hoping my partner would come in here when somebody rushed in the door and said, Adam is sick. He's vomiting. Did you talk to him? Anderson?
2:01🔗He just said he's heaving and he's feeling really sick. He's really sorry and he hopes you have fun tonight.
2:08🔗DrewI'm speechless. That's nice the way he plans. He calls just as we're going on there. It's very nice. Anyway, I'm glad to have my guest, Stacy Valentine. How are you?
2:24🔗DrewNo. Yeah, maybe that's it. He got overwhelmed and he just had to go home. Had to go home and vomit. But listen, you're promoting a movie, right? Yes. Girl Next Door?
2:50🔗DrewNow how did you get involved in all this? It says here your husband put you up to this or?
2:54🔗AdamHe suggested it, thought that having a threesome would enhance our sex life and then he started in with the movies and Are you still married to him?
3:11🔗DrewAnd so his master plan was, guys listen carefully to this, your master plan of enhancing one's sex life by bringing other people in only dissolves intimacy.
3:25🔗DrewBut has this been a good thing for you, a bad thing?
3:27🔗AdamVery good thing. It's taught me a lot. I've learned a lot of lessons. And actually coming to LA has taught me a lot of things. I gained a lot of, I would say, common sense, about 10 years worth of common sense in about two years.
3:45🔗AdamI've been out here four. Four years. But in that two years, I gained a lot of common sense.
3:49🔗DrewAnd such as? Give me an example of something you learned.
3:53🔗AdamBeing an aggressive driver, not letting people take advantage of me. Being from Oklahoma, I was a little naive. And now being in LA., it's the real world.
4:04🔗DrewThis is from a business standpoint, you mean they're taking advantage of you or?
4:45🔗AdamShe's a great friend. I have a lot of respect for her. She was interested in pursuing how the adult industry affects a woman's life.
4:58🔗DrewAnd so there's going to be a theme to this. Tell me what it does to a woman's life.
5:04🔗AdamI can tell you what it did to my life. Go ahead. It changed my life a lot. I learned a lot about myself by doing this documentary. It was very therapeutic. It was like writing in a journal and then going back and looking at it. But seeing it on screen is a lot more. It had a lot more of an effect on me.
5:25🔗DrewAre you actually in any kind of therapy right now? You mentioned therapeutic effects.
6:37🔗DrewOkay. All right. See, siblings are not attracted to other siblings in a sexual way unless some adult has come in and absolutely destroyed their boundaries. And sexual abuse by an adult is one way that that can happen. And that's exactly what happens. And then your story makes sense. Then you can make decisions like, hey, my brother looks pretty cool. I think I'll have sex with him. And it makes sense to you. And of course, most males are willing to participate in any kind of weird activity. So, and now you're pregnant.
7:59🔗AdamI know it would be a really hard decision, but...
8:03🔗DrewAt least talk to somebody who can give you some counseling. Look, you're not going to be able to do... Either you're going to have this child and everybody's going to find out about it anyway, or you're going to... I really don't want you to get in a situation where you're going to do something really screwy, run away, that kind of thing.
8:16🔗DrewNo, I'm not saying... no, no, no. I actually am not. I'm saying you need to sit down and talk to somebody about what your options are and get some support and get somebody who can really help you through this, whether it's Planned Parenthood or some counselor through your school, some adult you've got to talk to. I understand you wouldn't want to talk to your parents since they've been the perpetrators of this awful abuse for God knows since when. Only by sending her back to her parents, we actually be putting a risk for more abuse because parents can do that. They could physically abuse as well. But Jen, my God, please, you need guidance, you need help. You're 15, you're pregnant by your brother. This is not, you can't handle this by yourself. Do you understand that?
9:01🔗Drew1-800-230-PLAN. Do you see phone number just on the other side, right attached to the- I see nothing. Right here, there's some number, believe it or not. You see Planned Parenthood over there? 1-800-230-PLAN. That's Planned Parenthood. You can refer to somebody. All right, Jen?
9:38🔗Well, I am pregnant, right? And I told my boyfriend about it. And ever since that I told him, I just told him last week. And ever since then, he's been avoiding me and trying to, like every time I call or whatever, he'll be like, well, I gotta go, I gotta go, well, I gotta go do this and this and that.
11:02🔗DrewNell. It's like talking to Nell here. Stephanie, why do you want to talk to him? Do you think he's going to rescue you from all this or suddenly swoop in and be the committed, available guy that he never will be?
11:18🔗No, see, I don't have any problem with it, you know, if he don't want to, you know, be a part of his life and screw him and he can go.
11:24🔗DrewAll right, so why do you want him, why do you want to make contact with him? You've got to make some choices about what you're going to do here. You've got to start planning for you and this child, if that's what you're going to, if you're going to see this pregnancy through. And by the way, what about adoption? Your father's not available, you're 17, you don't want to ruin your life with this and the ruin the child's life too. How about, how about adoption?
11:46🔗DrewYeah, that's right. Well, don't screw it up even worse by messing up this child's life. If you're not ready to be a parent. And certainly your boyfriend, your screw up boyfriend's not ready to be one.
12:00🔗DrewI know you don't really know. That's not the way to go into parenthood, okay? You got to really, really, really know a lot of things when you embark on that whole, that whole experience.
12:11🔗DrewAll right. The boy, this guy sounds like a jerk. Yeah, sure. Go confront him. Go, go find out what he's up to. But it's going to be very ungratifying. He's running away. He's scared. He's whatever, but he's a jerk.
12:24🔗DrewAnd he's unlikely to come back in and support you the way you need support. You've got to find that elsewhere. Can you tell your parents about this?
13:18🔗AdamAbsolutely. My dad was very distant and my mom was very loving. So she just transferred her love to me, which I feel that I benefited because my mother and I have a very close relationship.
13:30🔗DrewAnd so I imagine you picked a guy like your dad that's probably the husband that was interested in the three something odd stuff.
13:56🔗DrewThank you, David. What's going on, David?
14:00🔗Stacy ValentineMy question is, my wife, me and my wife, we've been married for over a year now. Actually, we've been together for about five. And we share a lot of, you know, intimate moments, whatever. And she wants me to tell her my secret desires and stuff like that. But I don't have...
14:22🔗DrewThat sounds like a trap to me. She's looking for something to get pissed at you about.
14:25🔗Stacy ValentineWell, she's told me hers, you know, and I've kind of bloated off and told her, like, my intimate desire would be for us to have a threesome.
15:43🔗DrewOh my God. David, don't you have other things to worry about than your wife putting on a strap on? Please. It's fine that you have. There's nothing wrong with you, David, but your focus is a little off right now. Your wife just delivered twins two months ago. You're lucky that she's interested in being intimate with you physically. She should.
16:00🔗Stacy ValentineWell, no, this has been for pretty much three years now. We've been together for six.
16:08🔗DrewThree years now that you've been wanting to tell her this?
16:10🔗DrewWell, now's not the time. She just had twins two months ago. Your focus is on these babies. Listen, I'm a multiple parent, and I tell you, those first six months turned my hair gray. Focus on the child ring. My God. Why do you have even the energy to call our show? Why aren't you holding a bottle right now?
16:26🔗Stacy ValentineWe do. We take care of the children, but we do have times that we spend with each other.
16:34🔗DrewThat's good. That's good. But just focus on her right now. She needs all the support you can possibly give her. Don't be tied up worrying about this one little intimacy, this one little sort of fantasy that you have that's got to be, and you've got to reveal it to her. Wait till you get through that first six months, if you will. Hump.
16:53🔗DrewOh, your wife's made of steel. She's a superhuman.
16:57🔗Stacy ValentineShe wants to know what it is.
16:58🔗DrewWell, then tell her. She's asking for it. Listen, she's... I don't know. I feel like I've sort of landed on another planet tonight. Anybody else feel that way?
17:08🔗Those were the three dumbest callers we've had in a long time.
17:10🔗DrewThank you. Thank you. It's not just me. All right. Stacy, you're great. Stacy, you agree? Tell her the fantasy.
17:48🔗Stacy ValentineShe said she'd do it only because she really loves me.
17:53🔗DrewWants to make you happy. All right. Well, she's willing to do that. She's willing to do the other stuff too, David. Just take it easy here. Please, just kind of focus on the kids. Will you please? My God. But I guess this relationship will hold. She's willing to withstand just about anything from him. Tom, 19. Tom.
18:33🔗Because a couple of my friends and I are discussing certain things and came up, and we were arguing about whether or not what part actually gets circumcised as a female genitalia.
19:15🔗DrewThere's a bit of extra skin up there that some women do or don't have more of. The problem is that there's really no reason for that to be done, so it's all done as part of these bizarre rituals in certain countries. And the actual ritual itself is different in different regions. And they run the gamut of actually removing the clitoris and sewing up the vagina, believe it or not, to just going ahead and taking a piece of the hood off. And it's rather gruesome. And to me it's just again more symptoms of how men need to control and have through history abused women. Men are very fearful of female sexuality. And this is one of the ways that's been expressed. All right. All right, Tom, I hope you won your argument. Ouch. Yeah, by the way, this is Jason18. Jason?
20:07🔗CallerIt's like every time I become friends with like a girl or anything, just like regular mutual friends, I always start to care for them. I'm kind of like obsessed.
20:16🔗CallerAnd it ruins a lot of friendships just because I get to care for them and I end up either asking them out or something and it ruins the friendships like that. And I was wondering what that might be caused by or how I can fix that or what.
20:30🔗AdamI would approach them in a different manner. I wouldn't start out just being friends because women feel comfortable whenever they know that they have a friend and then whenever he starts to groove on her, then that's such a turn off and then she doesn't even want to be her friend.
20:45🔗CallerCould that happen? When I was like four years old, my father left me and said that he didn't love me anymore, kind of walked out.
20:53🔗DrewDo you remember a scene where he said, I don't love you and then left?
20:55🔗CallerYeah, I remember it pretty vividly too. He just kind of walked out and left. Pretty much my whole teenage years, I kind of raised myself. My mom was really never around.
21:04🔗DrewAwful. Of course. I mean, you're looking for, did you see the incredible Mr. Ripley? It's kind of what he did. I mean, it's a different situation because he's a psychopath, but he would suddenly form these attachments and then he idealized and get so enmeshed and overwhelm with the attachment. And that's what people do when they've been badly abandoned and or abused in childhood is they are so desperate for the attachment that they over-idealize and over-invest.
21:30🔗CallerIt's kind of what it's like. It's kind of like that. It's really hard to be by myself. Like all my friends are guys because of it.
21:37🔗DrewWhat about getting some therapy? You've had some severe, severe losses in childhood.
21:41🔗CallerYeah. I've never had any therapy or anything.
21:43🔗DrewWell, why not? I mean, it would take a long, long, long time to work this through, but it would work out fine in the long run. It's going to be very difficult for you. You're going to be so extraordinarily codependent. You're going to be just- Yeah.
22:00🔗DrewYeah. It is that, like that now. But wait till you really have somebody that responds. The person that's going to respond to you is going to be somebody that really can take advantage of your vulnerability because that's the only person that would really need that from a relationship.
22:11🔗CallerThat's kind of ironic. I just had a girl that I just broke up with and it was like that.
22:30🔗DrewAll right, Jason. Take care. Well, it's Loveline, the number 1-800-LLVE-191. I'm Dr. Drew. The guest is Stacy Valentine. The movie is The Girl Next Door. It's released in some major cities coming up. It's been well-received in New York. We're here with the star of that film. It is Stacy Valentine. This is about her life. We'll hear more about it after this. Welcome back to Loveline, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. I just realized since Adam is not here, I can go into one of the chat rooms at drdrew.com, which I think I will do after the next break. I can't really get set up right now yet, but maybe meet me in the college relationship room. That'll be in about 20 minutes. And if you have any questions for Stacy Valentine, you can put them through there or you can call her phone number again. It's 1-800-LOVE-191. Stacy's in a new movie called The Girl Next Door, which is a chronicle of her life going from housewife to mother.
23:58🔗AdamNo, not ready for irreversible commitments.
24:01🔗DrewBut thank God you didn't get involved parenting with your a-hole husband. You know he's an a-hole, who basically got her into this film, this industry and she was sort of milled through it for a couple of years. And you're going to tell me what it sort of does to women.
24:15🔗AdamWhat it's done for me is that the trust issues, and especially coming from my ex-husband with this wanting the threesome, I just, that's the worst thing. I don't suggest any man, and especially not the man, to bring it up to the woman. That doesn't make any sense, because if a woman were to say it to a man, I mean that's a pretty hard blow, you know, that a woman wants to be with another man other than him.
24:42🔗DrewWhy would women consider even subjecting themselves to that? Because we get lots of calls from women trying to, I think numb themselves up and do things they think they're going to make men happy, because they feel so crappy about themselves.
24:53🔗AdamLow self esteem, absolutely. And that's how I felt.
24:56🔗DrewWhy so many women with these awful self esteems these days?
24:59🔗AdamI don't know, I think that's very sad. I think it's really sad, and it totally backfires. I mean, when he brought that up, I felt, immediately I felt that, you know, well what's wrong with you, I guess I'm not enough. And when you start feeling that way, then that blows your self esteem, you know.
25:17🔗DrewBut then in response to low self esteem, you allowed him to get you into all this film stuff? Is that where that went? Or how did that, how did that make the connection there?
25:26🔗AdamWe, we tried, we tried to threesome, he actually brought home his ex-girlfriend, and which is another one. And now that the person I am today, and the person I was five years ago, are two totally different people, I don't really care for that person I used to be.
25:41🔗DrewWe either, I mean, it's, it's, you sound like you badly victimized, do we, we either, we ever victimized younger?
25:48🔗DrewI'm right, he was, he was just a victimizer, right?
25:50🔗AdamYeah, yeah. He took complete, he's a good fan of you. Manipulating me, so, but I allowed it to happen, so, you know, I take, I take my responsibility in that, so.
26:01🔗DrewAll right, let's go back to the phones. Lisa is 26. Again, Adam is vomiting at home. I have no sympathy for him.
26:08🔗DrewYeah, that's the point. The deal is, Adam, you call it one minute to ten. One minute to ten. Hmm. You know, sometimes when things don't just fit, my spidey senses up. One minute to ten. Lisa. Yes. Hi.
26:29🔗CallerAnd late last November, I started dialysis.
26:34🔗DrewSo you didn't take your insulin during your teenage years, did you?
26:37🔗CallerWell, I wasn't taking very good care of myself.
26:39🔗DrewYeah, I can tell. I had dialysis by 26, and that's sort of a common thing. Adolescents start wanting not to be diabetic anymore and just refusing to take their insulin. How many episodes of DKA did you have?
26:54🔗CallerOh, not too many. I was only hospitalized a couple of times.
26:59🔗DrewThat's a lot for a young person. Anyway, so now we're on dialysis.
27:02🔗CallerYeah. For the past about a month, a little over a month, I've been getting ill while on dialysis. Within an hour and a half of treatment, I'll get a headache, and then it will gradually, it will quickly become a migraine. Wow. Followed by nausea. And then vomiting.
27:53🔗DrewOkay, I'm sure your nephrologist is all over that.
27:56🔗CallerActually, he's not really communicating with us. We're looking to another...
28:00🔗DrewOkay, then it's time to get another one. To get someone to understand. But it sounds like if they... If you get sick and they start putting your feet up and lying you flat, that's because you have no blood pressure. And that may be the whole story right there, that for whatever reason, whether you're sensitive to having the hemodialysis, that blood goes out of you into the kidney machine and it comes back in. And some people are very sensitive to that and have very profound reactions. And it's a serious deal. Let me ask this. Lisa? Lisa?
28:29🔗DrewAll right, great. Follow through on that, OK? You'll do great once you get a new kidney.
28:33🔗CallerI was wondering if maybe I was taking my treatments too early in the day because the other day I had to reschedule and I had it in the afternoon.
28:41🔗DrewYou're asking me a question. It's sort of like asking why there was a failure of one of the rocket launchers and have to go there and look at a lot of stuff to figure out what's exactly going on. But you need to be able to communicate with your doctor. That is true. So get somebody new if you can't communicate with the guy you got. Scotty's 25. Scotty, you have a question for Stacy?
29:04🔗DrewYeah. Actually, usually I really like doing this by myself, but I wasn't sort of prepared for it. I was doing some stuff and work on the computer. And one minute before, not even one minute, we were going on the air when I heard that he was vomiting and not here. So.
29:27🔗AdamWell. Okay. Here's my suggestion for all those men who want to get into the movies. Get about, I would say about 20 or 30 male friends, put them in a room with you and get naked and start to pleasure yourself. If you can keep it up and then finally, if someone in your audience tells you to pop now, and if you can do that on command, I would say you have about a 70% chance at getting into the business.
29:56🔗CallerThat means I probably got a 0% chance.
29:58🔗DrewThen you also got to bring a woman with you when you come to offer your services.
30:22🔗CallerI have a question. Yeah. I need to know if anal sex causes permanent damage.
30:29🔗DrewCan. It's not the greatest thing to do for yourself. Why would it happen?
30:35🔗CallerWell, it was one of those things he wanted to try, so I tried it and I heard that you have a muscle back there it can cause damage with. Yeah.
30:47🔗DrewYou can tear and cause fissures and abscesses, all kinds of wonderful things.
30:54🔗DrewPain. Mostly. I felt that. As long as things are okay right now, you're not having any bleeding or discharge or anything, you're probably made it through. So there you go. This is Jonah.
31:11🔗Stacy ValentineMy question is, I know it's gonna sound really stupid to you. I don't know how this started, but I wanted to know if there are any effects to, if you sniff mothballs.
31:26🔗DrewI don't really know what's in mothballs, to tell you the truth. Can't be good for you.
31:30🔗Stacy ValentineCause like, I don't know. I just remember that I liked the smell of them a whole lot. I don't know why. I just like-
31:37🔗DrewWhat other drugs are you doing? What other drugs are you doing?
32:05🔗Stacy ValentineThe reason I want to know if there's any actual effects is because the only thing it does is it makes my nose tingle for like a minute and then it goes away. But I just like the smell. And I guess that's how I started. Cause I'll just like scrape a little bit of it off and just like-
32:20🔗DrewWhen you tried to hurt yourself, were you hospitalized?
32:28🔗DrewOkay. I don't want you to hurt yourself for real. You're on the way. Okay. Do you have periods of time where you sort of forget where you are or sort of don't know what's happening, periods like that?
32:38🔗Stacy ValentineOh, no. I mean, I've always been like a straight A student, a school-oriented person. So it's like...
32:47🔗DrewBut do you have any periods of time where you sort of forget what you've done or where you've been, that kind of thing, where you sort of blacked out?
33:16🔗DrewI'm just picking up that you sort of had this dissociative quality about you, where you sort of fugue out and then you cut on yourself and that kind of thing. People that learn how to do that often learn to do that in circumstances of severe trauma in childhood. And I don't say you have to get treatment. This is Joe 18. Joe?
33:41🔗DrewYou appreciate that. Adam's not here. Don't blame me.
33:44🔗CallerYeah, I know. Yeah, it was pretty funny.
33:47🔗DrewThis is Joe. Do you have a type for that at all? This is Joe, who entertained Andy Dick and Adam and myself for a good 45 minutes with your snoring, so...
33:56🔗CallerWould there be any chance I could get a tape of that?
34:00🔗DrewNot from Arnie, because I can't even get them to play any back to me right now. So what's going on?
34:05🔗CallerNot much. I was wondering about this thing called Salvia Divinorum.
34:09🔗DrewYeah, you're going to have to tell me more. What is it?
34:12🔗CallerIt's like a... I don't know. It makes you trip for like half an hour. It's... You smoke it. It's legal, too. That's the thing about it. You can like buy it over the Internet. I'm like... I don't know. So I was just wondering. You don't know anything about it?
34:27🔗DrewI would love to know more about it. I'm sure I will be hearing about it because God knows as soon as you guys start using stuff, it shows up in the hospital.
34:33🔗CallerOkay. Well, nobody's like overdosed of it or done anything like that.
34:39🔗DrewYou get it. What kind of experience do you get from it?
34:41🔗CallerLike, you're supposed to like close your eyes and you like hallucinate. Like, you feel your body being pulled different ways and stuff.
34:50🔗DrewAny drug that causes hallucination from its primary effect, in my experience, has always been neurotoxic, brain damaging. Every single one, whether it's E, LSD, DMX, whatever it is.
35:03🔗AdamThat's poisoning your body. You're getting that tripping effect because your body's fighting off the poison.
35:08🔗DrewIs that correct? Well, that is an interesting thing that does happen with certain mushrooms and whatnot. But it appears that via mechanisms that are not well understood, it opens up pathways in the brain that are extra physiologic. They weren't supposed to happen in nature. And the body's response to that is for those cells to drop out, to die. So they're overstimulated, and then they go away for good. Pretty cool. Not a great idea. It's the thing that scares me most about you. Go do anything else, do anything else but use hallucinogens. That's the thing that scares me most about young people, is the wholesale abuse of hallucinogens right now, because it always has chronic effects. Maybe subtle, maybe almost immeasurable, but oftentimes significant. So watch it, all right? Okay. All right. Take care. Let's see. Oh, boy. These calls are going to even me down. Let's hear more about your movie. Was it interesting to make? Yeah. Did you write it?
36:11🔗AdamShe was with me. The filmmaker Christine Fugate was with me for two years of my life. She was-
36:17🔗DrewHow did she know? I understand. I mean, help me understand this. When your husband said, go get in an industry, somebody showed up at your doorstep saying, I'm going to do a documentary about this?
36:25🔗AdamNo. I had already started into the industry. I had been in the industry a few months. My manager, actually Christine, had been searching for someone to do a documentary on for about two years. She had interviewed about 30 different women and just didn't find the right one. She needed someone that was stable, that would stick with it because she needed to follow someone from-
36:47🔗DrewSo most people in industry are not stable?
36:50🔗AdamCorrect. I would say about 85 percent of the women that enter into the adult industry are out within a year.
37:02🔗AdamThey just don't make it or else they use themselves up. They do a lot of scenes. Some girls do over 500 scenes in a year. I've only done 69 movies in four years. Right.
37:14🔗DrewSo she followed you through these different-
37:17🔗AdamThrough different parts of my life, yes.
37:20🔗DrewWhat did she document? She document the breakup of your husband?
37:23🔗AdamNo, that was already done. That was done and over with before I moved out to LA. I did one movie. I came back home and I didn't bring a woman home and he said, okay, that's it. You're not doing movies anymore. You've cheated on me. You've failed me. Things like that.
37:45🔗AdamYeah. Yeah. I agree. So I left him behind and came out to LA. I just realized that this was an opportunity that I could, you know, I, my self-esteem was low. I didn't feel that I had any other avenues and this was an avenue where I could get away from him and I could make my own money and I could be independent and that worked for me. I'm not suggesting that everyone in a bad marriage should try to get out and go, you know, get into adult movies, but it worked for me at that time. And so I've, I was 25 when I got into the business, so I was older, not, you know, I don't think that they should allow 18-year-olds to get into the business because you don't know, you know, this will be with me the rest of my life. I was very aware of that when I entered into the business. And it does limit you to some of the things, you know, I can't be president. I guess maybe I could try, but you know, and when you're 18, you don't, you don't know it and you see, you know, easy money and it's very seducing. And I don't, I don't think that that's, I don't think that's very positive.
38:54🔗DrewGuest is Stacy Valentine. It's 1-800-LOVE-191. It's Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. Adam is at home barfing. And I guess by now having diarrhea too, judging by what he alleges he had. And maybe we can make contact with him, Anderson. What do you think? Just to, just to...
39:10🔗DrewSo it's Loveline and we'll be back in just a second.
39:19🔗CallerWe'll be right back with more Loveline.
39:54🔗DrewHey, it's Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. It's 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. I'm by myself tonight. I'm with my guest, Stacy Valentine. She has a movie called The Girl Next Door. And so you were saying what it was like to sort of make this film. And I imagine you'd feel very exposed because it is a documentary about your life. But you were saying that sitting down and talking in front of the camera became sort of your therapeutic sessions.
40:12🔗AdamCorrect. Because my mother and father didn't really communicate. My dad would get mad and not talk. So I didn't grow up learning any communication skills. And with the camera, Christine would set up the camera on a tripod and it would start rolling. And she would sit down and just say, So what's been going on? And so we had a close bond. So it was easy for me to talk to her. I'd be like, Well, you'll never believe what happened.
40:43🔗DrewAnd was that how you were able to grow through this thing and get out of it, you think?
41:16🔗DrewThat was, that was, and that seemed to be, you said it was sort of a reenactment of something. You were powerless. And the kind of power you got being in the porn industry makes me feel like it was a flip side of the same coin. You were still, you were still on the same page. Whatever made you feel powerless in childhood, you were still sort of responding to, rather than coming back to a more real place where you could empower yourself in ways that were what you needed in the moment, rather than some primitive leftover business from dad, I suspect.
41:54🔗AdamThere's a little sense in that. I just, I feel that I'm a survivor. I dealt with the choices that I made, some good, some bad, obviously. I mean, who doesn't? And I came out on top. No pun intended. So, I think it's all good.
42:13🔗DrewThis is Mike's 24 hrs question for Stacey. Mike?
42:16🔗CallerHey, I'm a big fan of Stacey. I'm just interested in what inspired her to make her movie.
42:37🔗CallerYeah. I wanted to talk to you about the girl next door. I wanted to know what pretty much inspired you to do the movie and where is it going to be out?
42:53🔗AdamTo answer that question, go to the website gndmovie.com and it lists all the theaters that it's playing throughout the United States.
43:11🔗CallerI mean, did it take you behind the scenes?
43:13🔗AdamAbsolutely. Absolutely. You go behind the scenes on sets, at my house, at award shows, in Vegas, in France. You go back, you meet my mom and my stepdad.
43:29🔗CallerDo you think men get messed up with the whole adult movie industry as much as women do? Or is it, you know, you think so many men want to get into the actual industry itself, but...
43:41🔗AdamWell, most guys want to get into the industry to have sex with beautiful women.
43:49🔗CallerI mean, is there... Are they, psychologically, after, you know, after maybe 10, 15 years of doing it, I mean, is it just something they regret, you think?
43:59🔗AdamPossibly. You'd have to talk to one of the male talents about that.
44:03🔗DrewWhat do they like, the males that are in this thing?
44:05🔗AdamI'm fortunate to work with a really great group of guys. I've got the upperclass guys and like Mark Davis and men like that, that are really nice and very professional.
44:18🔗CallerAnd I've heard it's true that you guys only have certain male stars that you'll work with. Is that true?
44:25🔗AdamCorrect. I have a list of men I will work with.
44:27🔗CallerYeah. And what necessary, what I guess the requirements are. I mean, is it based on like how clean they are?
44:36🔗AdamThat has something to do with it. Looks and the main thing is their stamina, their wood ability to keep it up. Softies don't go very far in this business.
44:53🔗AdamI'm sure some of them do. It's not very much, very talked about.
44:57🔗DrewInteresting. I am in the chat rooms at drdrew.com. I'm in the college chat room. If you have questions for Stacy, you're not getting through on the phone line 1-800-LOVE-191. Again, you can log on to drdrew.com. Go into the college chat room. I'm not going to be typing into there. I may turn the computer over to Stacy. She can type in if she wants. We'll be watching for questions. Let's keep going on the phones. Thomas 15. Thomas?
45:17🔗CallerYeah, I'd like to know if my penis is normal.
45:24🔗DrewA little bit small, but you're 15. It's going to take... You've got six more years of growth ahead of you. Amber, 22. What's going on, Amber?
45:33🔗CallerWell, I've been married for about three and a half years. And I've been with my husband for about four and a half.
46:38🔗AdamYeah. It's a small little vibrator. And I don't get stimulated. There's certain ways you probably have an orgasm. Like through your clitoris on the outside as opposed to inside. Do you guys have oral sex?
46:57🔗CallerI mean, he goes forever. He'll go forever. And he feels like... He takes it personal. And I feel really bad because I'm sure it's not him. And I'm wondering too if I work myself up so much for it that I can't because I'm trying...
47:18🔗DrewAll right, Amber. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. We're gonna have to take a break right here. And we'll come back and quickly wrap up with Amber. I'm here with Stacy Valentine. The movie is The Girl Next Door. This is Loveline. Adam's at Home Vomiting. I'm Dr. Drew and we'll be back.
48:18🔗DrewWelcome back to Loveline, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Dr. Drew. Adam Corolla, my nefarious partner, was at home doing something. He claims it's regurgitating, vomiting, he's got food poisoning, something. I don't know if we'll find out if that's real or not. My guest is Stacy Valentine. She has a documentary about her life, which is going to be released widely, The Girl Next Door, and it really sounds very interesting. It follows her from her life with a total F-ing A-hole, if I could say, Adam's language, husband, who really was abusive and made her feel powerless, and her way of empowering herself was to get involved in this adult industry. And this movie chronicles her career through that and out on the other side. And it's interesting, you said that the camera and the relationship with the, she was the director, what should we call her, director? became therapeutic. And I wonder if really that bond that you created with the director, and by the way, Stacy is in the college chat room at drdrew.com interacting with users right now. She's actually the one doing the typing. So I'm sure people are in there going, no, it's not her. We get a billion, whenever I go to the chat room, I immediately get, it's not really you. I'm going to waste my time now defending that it's me. It's Stacy typing as Dr. DDP right now at the college chat room, drdrew.com. And this bond you had with the director, I suspect, I suspect may have been part of what allowed you to get out of this because people really only change and grow by virtue of their connections with other people.
49:47🔗DrewAnd this sounds like one of the very real connections in your life.
49:50🔗AdamYeah. She's a very powerful, strong woman. Did she encourage you to get out? No. The thing that was hard for her is because she was the filmmaker, she could not get involved in my life. And there are a lot of things that she watched me do that she would, as a friend, would like to have stepped up and said, don't do that. But then she would have been involved in the movie.
50:19🔗DrewAnd now she does confide in you and advise you.
50:22🔗AdamAbsolutely. When I was going to go out on a date the other night, she told me, absolutely not, don't do it. It was a blind date. She's like, no.
50:29🔗DrewExcellent. We were talking to Amber before the break, she's 22. She's been with her husband for four years, never had an orgasm. Stacy was talking about, I don't know, something from NASA, pocket rockets or something. And Amber, you were saying that your husband's very giving and he spends a lot of time with you, right? And in spite of that, no go. No.
50:53🔗CallerAnd I talked to my doctor about hormones and about, she says, well, you look fine.
50:59🔗DrewNo, of course, that's not what it is. Of course, it would not be a biological thing, I suspect. And women 18 to 22 very often have difficulty with this.
51:08🔗CallerWell, I have two kids. And so she said, well, you...
51:11🔗DrewTake it back. You could have something to do with it. You what? I'm sorry.
51:31🔗CallerAnd I'm not comfortable with any of that kind of stuff.
51:33🔗DrewAnd that's kind of what you need to do is figure out how things work.
51:37🔗CallerWell, that's what most people say to me, too, about that I need or I've heard, I've had a lot of friends tell me, get a vibrator.
51:45🔗DrewWell, that's what Stacy just said. Well, it may not be something that your partner can do for you, you must do for yourself. Certainly, if he's a giving guy, an empathic guy, and you're able to communicate to him, maybe you could work it out together, but it's going to take some experimentation.
52:02🔗CallerSo I should probably try something if I ever want to. Yeah.
52:07🔗AdamI think so because in the privacy of your own home, and not necessarily when your husband's around, and once you know what that feeling is like, and you find the right spot, then you can guide him. And I think communication while you're having being romantic is essential.
52:27🔗DrewNow that is another thing. Now I'm of the belief, and I've talked to lots of women through this program, and other clinical set of circumstances, that women really need an emotional connection. And not all women, many women need an emotional connection order for their normal sort of physiology to take over. They have difficulty if they don't sort of feel intimate. Men can be lying on railroad tracks anywhere. And so maybe she also needs to work on the quality of the relationship and the comfort she has with her husband, that sort of thing. Okay, let's keep going with the calls. This is, and Mike was 39. Mike?
53:37🔗And I stopped taking it because it made me aggressive.
53:41🔗DrewYeah. I've had people have that side effect.
53:44🔗Because I was reading something how it's chemically similar in some respects to speed. Have you ever heard that?
53:49🔗DrewWell, it's not chemically similar, but it activates a similar part of the central nervous system, albeit in a non-addictive way.
53:56🔗Because I was wondering if it had like some kind of bearing on the fact that, you know, I used to smoke marijuana so much.
54:02🔗DrewNo, no, I'd say not, but it can't, some people get terribly irritable, and when they get irritable, they get aggressive and even violent sometimes.
54:09🔗Yeah, because I almost went off of my boss and I had to stop myself and say, what the heck am I doing?
54:26🔗DrewMaybe, I've been using Welbutrin for a long time for addiction withdrawal, I've been using it for stimulants for a long time and it does work so I do recommend it strongly. It really, really helps. Especially Renata, did you have ADD when you were a kid?
54:39🔗No, I just got hooked up with the wrong people and used it for a crutch for 21 years. I actually didn't go through the depression stage you talked about so often.
55:12🔗Because I had to worry about, oh, I can't go to this job interview because they're going to drug test me. I can't do this. I can't do that. So I just stayed in neutral. Interesting.
55:26🔗Big, big service to a lot of kids. I wish you were around 20 years ago.
55:30🔗DrewThanks. Appreciate it. I actually was. No, thanks, Mike. Take care. Bye-bye. I don't believe it when I started doing this 17 years ago, but I wasn't doing it as regularly. I didn't know quite as much when I was talking about it. Eric is 20.
55:42🔗Hi. I had a sexual relationship when I was younger with my cousin. For as long as I can remember, probably from about that period, I've had feelings of guilt and low self-esteem.
56:04🔗She was two years younger than I am, and the problem arose, part of it, when my older cousin who was two years older than I walked in and witnessed this. I was exposing myself to her when he walked in.
56:21🔗DrewWell, now, wait a minute. Were you actually having sex with her?
56:24🔗No, just a lot of heavy petting, fondling, without clothing, fondling.
56:30🔗DrewA sweet amount of that is normal, Eric, as long as it's not sexually directed, like you're going to have your inner course and things. So it sounds more like that the exposure was what the problem was, that you were engaged in an intimate, naughty thing and somebody caught you, and that made you feel so awful.
56:46🔗Yeah, it was repeatedly, we do it in the backseat of the car where the parents were in the car.
56:50🔗DrewSo the problem is you already felt so bad and guilty about what you were doing, and then being caught, just put it over the top. This is not usually the kind of thing, unless the other child had been sexually abused and really was directing this in a sexual way, I mean, this doesn't have to be destructive. How are your relationships?
57:11🔗Very poor. I feel I've got an intrusive parent, and throughout high school, junior high, throughout high school, I repeatedly would form very strong codependent attachments to people who would later just totally reject me, just, I mean, to my face, say I was an idiot.
57:42🔗I haven't done anything. I haven't smoked any pot in a year and a half, probably. I feel like there's a little bit of manic depression in my family. I feel like I do have strong emotional responses.
57:54🔗DrewWhy don't you get checked out and get some help?
57:57🔗That would be a good idea. In addition to that-
58:00🔗DrewDon't waste so much time. I mean, if you get in some sort of therapeutic circumstance, maybe you can get through this and get more effective in your choices and relationships and really get going here. A 12-step program would be effective for you, too.
58:13🔗DrewWell, just start with a codependency recovery like Al-Anon. You've got sort of that complex going on, that codependency circumstance.
58:21🔗Yeah, I feel my dad's probably manic-depressive.
58:23🔗DrewWell, dealing with a mentally ill patient, a family member, can create a sort of a codependency. They could be helpful in the 12-step process if you feel uncomfortable going to a recovery program. Stacy, what's going on in that chat room?
58:34🔗AdamThere's somebody that really wants to know where I live. I already told you, California, stop asking me.
58:39🔗DrewYeah, she is not going to tell you, stalker. Geez. We can track you at drdrew.com. I got news for you. Robert, 26. Robert?
58:53🔗Hello, Stacy. Listen, maybe this is a good day for me to call and ask you my problems. So I'm 26 and through high school, I never had a date. That's because I felt kind of awkward and I was new in the country at the time. I'm a bit nervous, so you know.
59:16🔗And so now 26, I feel like I missed that, you know, like dating young girls.
59:24🔗DrewOh boy, I'm afraid of where you're going.
59:28🔗Yeah, you see what I'm saying? I know it's wrong, so I want some advice. I want you to tell me that it's wrong.
59:34🔗DrewWell, don't do it. That's easy enough. That's easy. You know better. You know where it's coming from. Look, if you get connected with one person your age, all this other crap is going to go away. You just need some success.
59:52🔗DrewWell, why would you want to date somebody else?
59:54🔗See, it's not that I want to date. It's rather I want to see what I missed being with her. Because I know, I hear you show very often, you know, and I hear these, these teams, you know, and I'm telling you how... Toculence... .and it actually makes me feel like, like I missed her, you know.
1:00:14🔗DrewWell, you did. And you need to sort of find ways to capture that part of yourself, that adolescent self that you sort of skipped over. But an inappropriate way to get in touch with that is to start relating to other adolescents. You're not adolescent anymore. You need to stay focused on what's real about you in the present, and maybe engage in some activities that you lost or didn't have an opportunity to perform because you were whatever you were doing during your adolescence, whether it's skiing or whatever, some sort of activity that might get you in touch with that part of yourself. But an inappropriate way to do it is to try to hunt down other 16, 17, 18-year-olds. That is a disaster. Tina's 29. Tina? Hi. Hang on a second. What are they saying in there? Stacy's having a great time in the chat room. You're the fastest typist I've ever seen. What's happening?
1:01:05🔗AdamSomebody's very excited that I talked about him on the radio.
1:02:06🔗DrewAnd for women, a drop off in libido is a very sensitive indicator of depression. Now, whether or not there's something, is there something from your past you want to tell me about?
1:02:14🔗CallerWell, I was just wondering, when I was a child, my parents had best friends, and they had a daughter who was four years older than me, and they would go, say, out for dinner or whatever, and she was left to kind of make sure that I got in bed on time and things like that, and we did the whole truth or dare thing, and I remember distinctly there was a time when it was truth or dare, and I dare you to take off your panties and touch private parts, type of thing.
1:02:44🔗DrewThat's kind of normal. It doesn't have to be anything serious with that. Again, it's when it becomes sexually directed that it tends to traumatize kids.
1:02:53🔗DrewIn other words, one of the kids was sexually abused, has been overtly sexualized, and then takes that brain that they now have, which is different than the usual child's brain, and acts it out on another child. It's sort of a contagion. I would suspect the most likely thing here is actually depression.
1:03:33🔗CallerYeah, I had a couple of questions for Stacy. The first one, I came in late on the show, so I apologize, but what years were you in the adult film industry? And I wanted to know, you said you became kind of empowered, and I was wondering if working with all those women and doing bisexual scenes, if that was part of your empowerment?
1:03:56🔗AdamNo, no. With working with women, I am bisexual. I'm attracted to women. And so I thank you. Thank you very much. Women are beautiful. They're amazing. I know why guys are so obsessed with women. We're great. But no, that didn't have anything to do with that. Actually, the empowerment...
1:04:21🔗CallerWhen you were with that abusive a-hole or whatever, did you know you were bisexual then?
1:04:27🔗AdamYes. Yes. I've always fantasized about women, especially breasts.
1:04:33🔗CallerI didn't know whether it was something that you picked up later in porn or you know the whole time.
1:04:38🔗AdamNo. Yes. Yes. I was very aware of my sexuality.
1:04:41🔗CallerSo then who was your favorite starlet to work with?
1:04:44🔗AdamSidney Steele. She's a great friend as well. And that's what attracts me even more than I mean, she's beautiful. But her personality is just amazing. So she's my favorite. And I started on. I did my first scene on Valentine's Day in 96. That's how I get my name. And I retired on the at the end of February of this year. So four years.
1:05:15🔗DrewThat's a little bit weird. Tom 20. Tom. Hey, what's going on? Not much.
1:05:20🔗I just have a little question. Yeah. Well, I have these two little holes. And they're on my penis. Now, it's like I was pierced. I've heard a lot of different things maybe that it has to do with the circumcision actually.
1:05:38🔗DrewYeah. They're sort of near the head on the underside.
1:06:01🔗Stacy ValentineI have panicked on one of the...
1:06:02🔗DrewJust real quick, for the people that are at drdrew.com, the machine just screwed up on us here. We're going to get back into the chat rooms in a second. Go ahead. I'm sorry, Lynn.
1:06:10🔗Oh, OK. I have panic disorder. And last night, I was having sex with my boyfriend. And I was breathing hard, you know? And then afterwards, I could not catch my breath for like 45 minutes. I mean, it was like someone with asthma or something. I just could not breathe.
1:06:32🔗DrewThere are things that can trigger what's called bronchospasm. Did you see anyone about this?
1:06:38🔗No, I didn't. It finally went away, but I do feel like the physical symptoms of anxiety, like now my chest feels tight, my heart seems to be pounding like all day today.
1:06:49🔗DrewWell, but that could be from an asthmatic reaction too. Be careful. It's interesting. Anxiety certainly can mimic just about any medical syndrome you can imagine.
1:06:58🔗DrewBut don't always dismiss it as that. Okay. Just being, all kinds of things can trigger what's called bronchospasm, where your airways will tighten down a little bit. And the ability for air to flow down those airways are profoundly affected by the diameter of the airway.
1:07:15🔗DrewAnd a small change, a small muscular contraction in the airway smooth muscle will cause substantial symptoms. Difficulty breathing, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, all that. There's certainly a possibility. So go see a doctor about it. They're very simple sometimes to treat this.
1:07:53🔗DrewNot necessarily, but it certainly can.
1:07:55🔗OK, because it seems like I've been drinking more lately and now my panic disorder seems like the panic attacks seem to be a little more common. So, I wasn't sure if it had anything to do with that.
1:08:09🔗I'm not sure. It seems to be sort of a cycle. I feel more anxious during the day, and sometimes the only way to get rid of it is by having a couple of beers. But I'm not sure if that's then leading to, you know, more of the anxiety or what.
1:08:59🔗DrewIt is Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm desperately trying to log back in to the college chat room at drdrew.com where we fell out just a second ago and I can't figure out why I can't log back in. Stacy Valentine is my guest. The movie is The Girl Next Door. Being wide release when?
1:10:31🔗CallerOkay. And also, does a person have to have a herpes or warts, general warts break out in order for someone else to contract them?
1:10:39🔗DrewAbsolutely not. Especially the wart situation. But neither the herpes tends to be transmitted when there's an outbreak. But neither the wart nor the herpes needs to be active for transmission to occur.
1:10:50🔗DrewAll right. Take care. So now it's Christina, who is 26. Christina?
1:10:55🔗Stacy ValentineYes. I was just wondering, my husband and I have been married for two and a half years, and he's very interested in having anal sex. And we've tried it before, but it's very painful for me. I don't know if there was like something that could help that, or maybe I just can't do that.
1:11:16🔗AdamI have an answer to that. When you tried it, did you use lubrication?
1:11:34🔗AdamIt's called a butt plug. I would start off with a small one, and move up to a medium-sized one, and then to a large one, depending on my partner, to loosen up those muscles, because it is quite a shock.
1:11:49🔗DrewBut, Christina, is it that important to you to engage in this stuff?
1:12:28🔗DrewYou can hear it. You can just hear it. Christina, yeah, now, let me continue to use my clairvoyance. She is involved with a guy like your husband. Like Stacy's husband. So let Stacy tell you what to do about this.
1:12:45🔗DrewAbout what it is to be involved with an A-hole. Because her dad sexually abused her when she was 10 years old, and now she's involved with a guy who's demanding all the stuff for her that she doesn't... She thinks she has to do. You know what I mean? The stuff you used to do on behalf of your husband, here she is. It's Stacy at 26.
1:13:02🔗AdamThat had a lot to do with my self-esteem. I had no self-esteem. And you're worth so much more. I mean, don't ever settle and don't let him plant that in your mind that that's what you want to do, because it's clearly... it's hurting you. And I don't think that's turning you on or making you feel very good, if it's painful.
1:13:21🔗Stacy ValentineWell, he doesn't ask me for it that often. It's just that I've... when he did mention it, I've thought about it and then we tried, and then it was painful and then we haven't tried since.
1:13:33🔗DrewBut Christina, what kind of guy are you involved with? Your husband.
1:13:49🔗DrewOkay, bye, Christina. Okay, Stacy is back in the college chat room. She's now as Dr. DDPP because I'm well aware there's some imposter in there as Dr. DDP and understand that is impersonating a physician and is a federal offense, so we will be after that person. This is Thomas 17. Thomas?
1:14:10🔗First, I'd like to commend you on your show. I think it's great that you help, you know, teenagers have someone to call when they need help. And also, Stacy, I think it's great that you get out of the porn industry.
1:14:21🔗Probably, you know, I don't like bashing it or anything, but I probably don't think it's the greatest thing.
1:14:26🔗DrewLet me ask Stacy something about it. If you had been Christina calling this show talking about your husband, wouldn't you have been defending him?
1:14:33🔗DrewYeah. He's the greatest. He's hardworking. He's a wonderful man. I want to make him happy. How do you make a woman see what they're really involved with or can you?
1:14:41🔗AdamI don't think you can. That's one of those life lessons that you have to learn yourself, which I wish I would have listened to half of the things my mother told me because she was right about all of them.
1:14:53🔗CallerOkay. Well, about a month ago, I noticed when I was hard that I have these two, I don't know, they look like warts. Where? On the shaft of my penis.
1:15:14🔗CallerI get oral sex quite often. I've been getting oral sex from someone. I know that she's given it to other guys before.
1:15:20🔗DrewWell, that's not a great way to transmit the word virus. Have you ever had intercourse?
1:15:24🔗CallerYes, when I was a little bit younger, when I was about 15.
1:15:26🔗DrewAll right. So you could, are we using condom? Is it possible you can contract to the warts through that?
1:15:30🔗CallerNo, I used a condom and it was someone that I had known for quite a while. It was like a relationship type of deal.
1:15:36🔗DrewAll right. So it might be the pearly-penile papules. That's the other thing. Pearly-penile papules, which are these little sort of wart-like things that appear along the shaft of the penis. They usually often can have a hair follicle associated with it. PPP, pearly-penile papules. But if you have any question, you should of course continue to wear a condom and then have a doctor take a look at it. Julia is 24.
1:16:23🔗And so I think that he has some information, but I wonder how much of it is tainted. Yeah. My boyfriend and I are thinking about moving in together and he is adamant that it's the worst thing that I can do. It's going to be the end of this relationship. It's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Is there any validity to that?
1:16:38🔗DrewThere actually is. I've seen some studies that show improved outcomes of people that don't live together before they get married. I have trouble believing that's accurate. I don't see any problem with it, but that may just be on my opinion. Maybe I'm tainting it.
1:16:53🔗What kind of groups are coming out with this information?
1:16:56🔗DrewYou know, I don't remember where I've read this, but I've definitely read some data. And it's limited studies, not great, you know, big studies or anything. And I wasn't overwhelmed with the study design and execution. However, the fact that it was enough to catch my attention sort of surprised me, and that the outcome was so clearly an improved outcome. So it doesn't fit my experience. Okay. And so I suspect that it's probably tainted in some way, but I don't want to bias the data with the data. Okay. And I don't see any problem with it. I lived with my wife for a while before we got married. I think it's a... I really don't see any problem with it. I think it's more that if... I would argue that if you see data that shows, in fact, if good data shows that that's the case, that it must say something more about the conditions under which people get into their living arrangement than the fact that they live together. Do you understand what I'm saying?
1:17:50🔗CallerThat was, yes, my understanding also. I think a lot of people move in together because, oh, well, it'll be cheaper or...
1:17:57🔗DrewOr whatever, or they're pregnant, or they have to, or whatever, or somebody has expectations and the other one doesn't, but it's convenient for them. You know, what could it possibly be about living together that intrinsically could be bad for a relationship? I don't see it.
1:18:14🔗DrewI don't see it, I don't see it. Other than sort of creating more sort of... People talk about creating more romance and more sort of... I don't want to use the word idealized, but sort of invest more in the intimacy and that by creating a specialness to it, maybe you can invest more.
1:18:32🔗CallerYou're coming in and out, I can hardly hear you.
1:18:34🔗DrewSee, I understand. There's some problem with... You're not the first person to complain about that, Julia, that when on the phone people don't hear everything I say.
1:19:12🔗AdamThank you. But it just stops it since my what?
1:19:21🔗DrewMastectomy probably. I have a number of patients that have had the reconstructive surgery and it really works well. I think that it helps people restore their sense of themselves as women.
1:19:34🔗DrewSomeone has been taken away from them and this is an opportunity to help them restore that and actually to shape things what they want and it can be quite empowering. I would think in the setting of a double mastectomy where something is being taken away, there's such a traumatic circumstances.
1:19:46🔗AdamCorrect. It's such a feminine. That's the way society portrays femininity by the breast.
1:19:59🔗I was adopted at birth and I grew up in a very good family, but I always had problems with that. But I found out recently that I was born to drug addict parents. My father was molesting my sister who stayed in the family.
1:20:25🔗But I waited till I was of an adult age and ready to handle it with the support of my family. But it answered a lot of questions because I was hit by this. I started using drugs at a very young age. I quit that at age 20. I haven't used for almost 10 years, but I went into these relationships from hell, my God. This is very genetic, isn't it?
1:20:48🔗DrewWell, the disease is. The relationship from hell part probably isn't, although addicts do tend to use thrill-seeking mechanisms as a way of sort of regulating their emotional world, and so relationships that have a high degree of risk and the thrill associated with them may be things you're attracted to. Also, God only knows what kind of imprinting goes on an early childhood. How old were you when you were adopted out?
1:21:12🔗DrewSo it's hard to imagine that had a significant effect on it, but the disease itself, yeah, it's a 50-50 chance that you're going to get the disease, and you clearly got the gene.
1:21:20🔗Yeah, but what I'm worried about too is I know my biological mother was using drugs. I think she was using them when she was pregnant with me. And what kind of effects would that have on me today? Is there anything I should be looking for?
1:21:33🔗DrewIf you would have known it already, it's about neurologic development, those sorts of things. And no, if you're at 29 and haven't had any measurable effects from that, don't think that has anything to do with what's going on right now. Yeah, I know.
1:21:45🔗I think I'm doing all right. But to your listeners who like there was a girl earlier who was pregnant, didn't know what to do with it, get rid of it.
1:21:55🔗DrewI mean, you mean adopt out or do you mean abortion?
1:21:58🔗Either way. I mean, I'm grateful for life. But you know what? If I had a choice to either grow up in that or be aborted, I would have rather been aborted. I'm grateful for the life I've had. So I'm so thankful.
1:22:17🔗DrewOh, boy. Always to stop with the mastectomy thing. It is Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. The phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm here with Stacy Valentine. The movie is The Girl Next Door. It is a documentary about her life, starting as a housewife with an a-hole husband in Oklahoma, chronicling her through a stardom in the adult industry and then out. Does it chronicle all the way through you getting out of the industry too?
1:22:41🔗AdamNo, no. We had to end it. She had to end it sometime. It was only supposed to be filming for a year, but my career kept climbing and she needed an ending. So my ending was, well, I can't give away the ending. You'll have to see it.
1:22:56🔗DrewFair enough. It's Love Line. We'll be back in just a minute.
1:23:38🔗DrewHey, it's Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. Adam Corolla is at home. He's vomiting. Yeah, he is, I guess. We've heard nothing from him since a minute before the show. Did he sound sick?
1:23:49🔗CallerI don't know. Do you have his number? Let's call him.
1:23:51🔗DrewI don't remember. I have it in my car. Anyway, my guest is Stacy Valentine. The movie is The Girl Next Door. This movie is a documentary chronicling her life. It sounds very, very interesting. It's on wide release. You can check out local releases on the website.
1:24:10🔗Drewgndmovie.com. She is now in the college chat room of drdp.com. She is signed in as Dr. DDPP. We're going back to the phones. Let's see. Hold on a second. This is Kim 18. Kim?
1:24:22🔗CallerHi. Before I was married to my husband, we were separated for almost a year and he got another woman pregnant. And about a month after our marriage, their son was born. And he left for the army ten days after our wedding. And I have not been faithful.
1:24:58🔗CallerHe's coming back tomorrow. I just feel this uncontrollable rage against him for what he did. We have a two and a half year old daughter together, but she has his son. And I kind of feel like...
1:25:13🔗DrewWait a minute. You were separated when he got her pregnant, right?
1:25:17🔗CallerYeah. The thing is that he says that he always loved me.
1:25:23🔗DrewRight. And is it reasonable that he might have dated other people during that year that you were apart? Yeah. Is it reasonable he might have had sexual relationships with somebody during that year, during that 12 months? Did you during that 12 months? Okay. That would be normal on both of your parts. And he had an accident, a bad judgment, I'll give you that. But it's not like his behavior was totally out of line.
1:25:51🔗CallerI don't know whether I should encourage him to go back and see her and see his son.
1:25:58🔗DrewWell, that's his decision, I suspect. It seems to me that he ought to be focusing on his family that he's establishing with you. I certainly agree with that. But where in the hell is this rage coming from, Kim? It's not about him.
1:27:01🔗DrewHe fractured the family and you felt fractured and that's what you're angry at. How dare your husband sort of put you in harm's way again. In fact, even though he hasn't, you're going to make him into your dad and act it out on him.
1:27:16🔗DrewHe's not your dad. He doesn't sound like he's going to get wants to leave you. And by the way, just the fact that he's gone probably enrages you and that's why you're acting out like you are. You need to get your get your your S together here. Kim, you've got a child now. You can't go on responding to what dad had done. What do you what's the matter? Anderson's in there talking to me. You can't go on. It's time to be mom. You're 18. God knows you shouldn't be a kid at that age, but you've got it. And now that's it. No more chance to explore and experiment with your with your residual feelings and rage towards your dad. You got to get it together and get make this family work. Your husband loves you. He says he loves you. They married you. He's coming back. He wants to form a family with you. Don't start asking him to do things that's going to enrage you even more because you're pissed at your dad. Sheesh. You mad at your dad?
1:28:09🔗AdamYes, I am. I haven't spoken to my father since I was 16.
1:28:51🔗DrewWell, here's the thing about life is, excuse me, I'm going to block that. I thought it was on the web for a second. The stuff that happens to you when you're younger, you have no control over. The path you take in order to deal with that ultimately is under your control, and you get where you get by whatever means you get there. But you got to make sure that you don't get caught in any potholes along the way or in any quicksand and that you keep growing. You get through whatever that original issue was. So you can finally live as a separate person without the ghost of the past. Craig, you're 22.
1:29:53🔗All right. Here's my situation. I came from Minnesota to Washington, moved in with my teacher, one of my teachers from high school, of course, two years later.
1:30:03🔗She was here and I needed a place to stay. So it worked out. And her and her husband, actually. So they gave me a place to stay. I lived with them for two or three months and then I moved out. And now I don't live with them anymore. But of course, I still stay in contact with her. And now she's got, actually, she did and has had a problem with alcohol. Right. And so I've kind of been here to support her through it all. And it's kind of escalated into more than helping.
1:30:42🔗It's not. It's nothing super sketch or anything. It's not like nothing major has happened, like nothing infidelis or anything of the sort. Just kind of weird, weird talks and little bit of cuddling and things like that. Nothing major, though.
1:31:01🔗DrewWell, and she is well into her disease, right?
1:31:09🔗DrewYou got to get out of there. Yeah. She's an alcoholic and she's in her disease well in, and there's no telling what kind of behavior you can get trapped in here. This is a person with an illness that is running amok, and you do not want to get in the middle of this.
1:31:23🔗For me, it's like abandonment, though. She's my friend.
1:32:02🔗DrewOkay, and that's it. If she doesn't follow through, that is her choice. That's the one thing alcoholics do have a choice over, is to go ahead and access treatment.
1:32:10🔗DrewAnd if she is not willing to do that, one of the consequences, the only way she's going to ever come to treatment is with consequence. You've got to deliver some of that consequence by leaving.
1:32:27🔗DrewI guarantee it. And you need to get her to treatment. You cannot treat her. You cannot support her. You are enabling her, if you do not take some action, with this person well into this disease. OK?
1:32:45🔗DrewYou know what? Maybe it's scrolling so fast, it's going up the screen here or something. We can't talk about these chats, and it's about you getting a little weird on us.
1:32:54🔗CallerHey, earlier when you were talking to that girl, and you asked me what I was talking about, you had almost said the S word, and I just didn't want to go on and mix up the flow. But that's what I was freaking out about.
1:33:05🔗CallerAnd then you ended up saying it. Yeah.
1:33:06🔗DrewSo you're a little off. You need Adam. I have to bring the Adam piece in here. OK, let's keep going. Here's one for you, Stacy. It says Levi is 19. Levi?
1:33:18🔗CallerNice to be talking to you. I'm Stacy.
1:33:20🔗Hey. I had a question for you. My girlfriend, I've been with her for four years. And we've had sex for about three years now. And she does not have orgasms.
1:33:40🔗DrewHang on one sec. Is this not going on screen? Why? Oh, we're logged out. Somebody's jamming our website. All right, I'm logging Stacy off just for that. You guys, go ahead. Go ahead, Levi, talk to Stacy about this.
1:33:53🔗Yeah. I can't figure out why she don't have orgasms. I mean, she just, I mean, she gets...
1:34:05🔗AdamHas she had orgasms before? I mean, with anyone else or masturbation?
1:34:21🔗AdamBecause I, self-awareness is everything, and if she knows how she can pleasure herself, she can tell you, you know, what, you know, she can tell you, communicate to you, where to go and what feels good.
1:34:36🔗Right. Yeah, she, I mean, well, it's been three years now, and I mean, she, you know, she'll tell me where it feels good and everything, but it just, I mean, she's the type of person that can go without sex for, I mean, like, too much, you know, she don't have to have it. And I, on the other hand, are like, every night, you know, I want it, want it, want it, and she just...
1:34:56🔗DrewLevi, I gotta break in. We have to go to break.
1:35:41🔗DrewHey, it's Loveline. It's Dr. Drew. Adam missed the entire show. He missed the lovely evening with Stacy Valentine. Thank you for joining us.
1:35:57🔗Drewgndmovie.com. And tomorrow night, we've got Zach Ward from Titus, a new TV show that's getting a lot of buzz about that show. So until tomorrow night, when I expect Adam Corolla will have finished his vomming and diarrhea, if indeed this was food poisoning. Enjoy. A joy, a pleasure. And until tomorrow night, this is Dr. Drew, on behalf of Adam Corolla, saying mahalo.
1:36:20🔗CallerI did some gay porn in the late 70s.
