Luke Ford
Luke Ford is an unusual character. He is Australian , to begin with. Raised as a Heathen Gentile, ith in the passed decade he as been living as a orthodox Jew. He is celibate, and his perversion exceeds that of Yoshi Obayashi. Luke is, at least was, a sick, sick man. One of the few guests to genuinely freak out David and Asa with his opinions of Sex Addiction. Luke is an advocate of the 12 Step Program. He regularly sees his analyst.
He made his career as a journalist writing about porn. He was seen as something of a pariah within that community for his scathing reports on the state of the industry. He was often highly critical and considered a "gossip columnist". In 2001 his Rabbi urged him to change his focus away from porn, which he did. He became celibate, and entered the 12 Step program seeking treatment for sex addiction.
He appeared in Episode 20 of the podcast. He was invited by Maury Showbizawitz who felt David "needed" to talk with him. The main topic of the podcast was the concept of "Eroticized Rage" and Sex Addiction.
