Roger T. Pipe (born October 17, 1967) is an American pornographic film critic, adult radio commentator, and occasional writer and director who resides in California. Pipe operates a website RogReviews which hosts reviews of movies, sex toys, and websites involving the adult entertainment industry, as well as audio and text interviews with stars, directors, and other important figureheads. He is an active member of the X-Rated Critics Organization and a member of the XRCO Hall of Fame as of 2009. He has been quoted and referenced in books like Necroculture by Charles Thorpe (Springer Publishing, 2016), Violence and the Pornographic Imaginary by Natalie J. Purcell (Routledge, 2012), The Aesthetics of Degradation by Adrian Nathan West (Watkins Media, 2016) A History of X by Luke Ford (Prometheus Books, 1999) and Il porno di massa by Pietro Adamo (R. Cortina, 2004). Personal life Pipe was born in October 1967 and grew up in San Marcos in southern California. He went to Cal-State Fullerton and graduated with a degree in communications. In his interviews he said that he has a wife for 15 years who supports him watching porn, and has children. Career Pipe began watching pornography consistently in 1985. It wasn't until 1995, while doing a search on the internet for a rare porn title, that he stumbled across a website where individuals were discussing and reviewing pornographic titles. After several days, Pipe decided that he would try his own luck by reviewing movies from his private collection, writing “from the heart of a porn fan.” The response was seemingly overnight, and soon, Pipe's reviews were being included on distributor websites to establish a more personal connection with those buying the videos. Eventually, Pipe launched Rog Reviews in 1998, intending only to showcase his reviews, a decision made partially in retaliation against the Adult Video News Awards, for which he had briefly worked for. The experience left Pipe jaded against the more mainstream avenues, but has since worked out to be “very beneficial.” Pipe has said in interviews that the same individual who dismissed him (Mark Kulkis) has ensured Pipe's accessibility to every major film premiere for the companies he represents, suggesting that while the way in which they parted was not ideal, there was still a level of respect for Pipe's work. RogReviews was used as a source in books like Controversial Images by Feona Attwood et al. (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013),
