Beginnings in the adult film industry

Dover worked for many years with his girlfriend, the stripper and model Linzi Drew. After she retired at 41 to have their child, Tyger Drew-Honey, he developed his "Ben Dover" persona. He used the Videx equipment and mail order list to start up his own business, with Mike Freeman's permission. At the time Mike Freeman was England's most successful pornographer, having released twenty one hour long uncensored films. In 1983 Videx was raided by the police, and Freeman was remanded in custody. At a trial at the Old Bailey Freeman was acquitted, along with Honey, Sarah Bhaskaran and Kent Boulton.

Success in the adult film industry

Dover subsequently became best known for his rude, raunchy and sometimes downright mucky ''Ben Dover's:'' series, which he directed, produced and starred in between 1996 and 2002. The popular series featured young British and European tarts in Gonzo, Hardcore and Anal scenes. In 1997, Dover was awarded the ''Breakthrough Award'' for the ''Ben Dover'' series by Adult Video News. He has also won AVN's ''Best Gonzo'' Award twice, in 2000 for ''Ben Dover's End Games'' and in 2002 for ''Ben Dover's The Booty Bandit''.
Upon original release in the United States, Dover's films were edited by VCA Pictures to exclude the more graphic contents of the original, such as scenes of ass to mouth, golden showers (including piss drinking), rimming, fisting, ass-to-pussy, double penetration, triple pentetration, double vaginal and double anal penetration . It wasn't until 2004 that Dover again attempted US distribution for his films. He signed a deal with Kick Ass Pictures and began producing the ''Ben Dover's Kick Ass Anal Adventures'' series, of which there have been five installments. This series was not edited any more than Dover wished.
Dover was included in Larry Flynt's Hustler Magazine's ''Top 50 Most Influential People In Porn'' list, printed in the January 1999 issue. He also has a line of adult toys bearing his moniker: ''The Ben Dover Signature line'', which produces, among other products, ''The Ben Dover Realistic Penis'' and ''The Ben Dover Anal Kit''. In 2006, Ben Dover won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the UK Adult Film Awards, which he co-presented with Kristyn Halborg, Kelly Stafford and lifelong friend and co-star Pascal White.

As well as his pornographic works, Ben has acted in some non-pornographic feature films, such as the horror/thriller, ''Deadly Intruder'' (1981), for which he also provided the incidental music, and drama ''Last Resort'' (2000), in which he played the role of a low budget pornography producer.
