Jules Jordan (born Ashley Gasper)[1] is an American pornographic movie director, actor, and producer. Formerly, his movies were distributed under John Stagliano's adult video company, Evil Angel. In early 2006 Jules Jordan Video began handling its own distribution.
He is one of the most acclaimed, awarded and imitated porn directors, notably in his use of long takes, tease, and fetish clothing. His most famous series are Flesh Hunter, Ass Worship, Feeding Frenzy and Weapons of Ass Destruction, all of which are classified as gonzo pornography.
He is known for his fetish for big butts, his recurrent use of sex toys (such as "butt-plugs"), and his particular attention to the performers' outfits. He acts in some of the films that he produces.
Jordan is from West Philadelphia, and got his start in the porn industry by working at a local porn video store. He later started to film his own videos in the area, and later moved to Southern California, which attracts most of the money and talent for pornographic movies.
He works the camera himself and rarely uses music. He features hardcore sex acts (such as anal gaping, deep throating or ass-to-mouth), but without the touch of misogyny that is found in many gonzo porn videos. The girls in his films can commonly be seen wearing collars and leashes, having rough sex, and sometimes engaging in group sex and gangbangs - but they always seem flirtatious and sexually excited to participate, as if it were role-playing.
Jordan and John Stagliano have said that they treat copyright infringement with zero tolerance, and have filed multiple lawsuits against alleged pirates.[2] In 2007, Jordan and Evil Angel were awarded US$17.5 million in a piracy case, an amount later reduced on appeal.[3][4][1]
