He's baaaack!

Three months ago David Forest retired. He sold his Forestmen porn star management agency to Fabscout Entertainment. He said he was getting too old for the porn game and it was time for a change.

What he didn't mention was that his decision was based more on self-preservation than anything else. Instead of a trip to someplace sunny and warm, he moved into a rehab center. And after a (fingers crossed) successful stint taking care of certain addictions, Forest wants to get back to work in adult entertainment.

"I was a manager, not an agent," he said. "A manager guides and counsels his clients; he doesn't just find them jobs. From day one, I tried to bring mainstream ethics and techniques to the smut biz. I managed my stars the old-fashioned way."

And he was good at it. For example, he helped Billy Harrington negotiate  $25,000 to appear in All Worlds Video's "Conquered." And he assisted Tony Capucci in scoring $3,000 for each of six scenes for Falcon. 

So now what? [more]

Forest's new venture is Forest Meetings, which he says offers discerning, rich men the opportunity to meet some of the men Forest will be representing.

"Forest Meetings is the third incarnation of my private connections program," he said. "I'm no longer representing talent for movies or public appearances, but I do represent some of the same guys at Forest Meetings."

Some of the stars on the slate are Zeb Atlas, Brent Diggs, and Adam Killian. Consider it an expensive, and very selective, callboy service.

"I am the most famous and most successful male madam in the world," he said. "Some people have called me ‘the male Heidi Fleiss,' but actually she was ‘the female David Forest.'"

We all aspire to something.
