One of the evening’s honorees, a current Dorcel exclusive contract star, addressed the crowd: "Working for Dorcel is not like working in adult film. It is like working in film. Period. We rehearse.

Dorcel CEO Grégoire (Marc’s son) took the stage to announce a surprising statistic: Despite the dominance of free user-generated content, Dorcel’s subscription base in North America has grown 18% year-over-year for the last three years.

But on a recent glittering evening in the heart of Hollywood, the adult entertainment industry did just that. Marc Dorcel, the legendary French studio synonymous with high-end, cinematic erotic cinema, brought its milestone "45 Years of Pleasure" world tour to Los Angeles.
