The Choice Of Motherhood and Insidious Drug Store...
 I had the privilege of growing up with a second wave feminist/reformed hippy mother. Before I sprouted my first pubic hair she handed me a mirror and a flashlight and told me to get to know my vagina. I was raised to believe that my body was mine to share with whoever I chose, whether that was one man, a couple of women, or a whole bunch of people over the course of my life. My mom home...

Vice.com 25 April 2013
Photo by Nate “Igor” Smith There’s a frequently repeated anecdote about 20th century ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky from one of his early shows in Paris. Someone asked him if it was hard to perform one of his celebrated leaps—to stay suspended in the air in a way that appeared superhuman. His reply was “No! Not difficult. You have just to go up and then pause a little...

When Egos Collide
The weekend of Molly Crabapple’s Shell Game opening I was being followed by a reporter. The reporter was writing a profile on me for a NYC based publication, and it either started shaping up into a cover story or was intended to be one from the beginning. They’d chosen that weekend specifically because I was performing at both Molly’s event and the Box, so there were plenty of...

WHY LAS VEGAS IS THE PINNACLE OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT...
We also have Las Vegas, which is the sparkliest money-sucking pit of debauchery I’ve ever set foot in. Gambling is a thrilling way to hand your money over to a casino in exchange for an all natural and completely legal norepinephrine high. Sure, sometimes you might win a game here or there but at the end of the day the house always gets the better half of the deal. The “What Happens In...

Stoya on the Metaphysics of Cocksucking (via VICE)
“What’s your number-one tip for giving the best blowjob?” This question drives me insane. I usually pause to shoot murderous looks at whichever PR person has set up the interview before responding. I have two sound-bite-sized answers: “Don’t chomp down on the dick unless the person it’s attached to has expressed a desire for that sort of thing,” and...

"Watch Over Me"
It’s not usually in the legal paperwork, but contract girls are expected to promote the movies they are in by posting about them on social media networks and doing interviews. We tweet, retweet, and usually put up some kind of blog post somewhere.  Digital Playground already has the dissemination of pictures and trailers covered pretty well, so my promotional blog posts are usually something...

“To that end, the first point: Antis need to LISTEN to sex workers. Actively listen. Listen to understand. Listen to each and every sex worker who speaks, and believe us about our own experiences.  Yes, this includes listening to the most privileged sex workers—the independent, high-priced, White, Western escorts with college degrees who gave up careers in accounting because they just loved...

Congratulations Mr. Angel.
Buck Angel is an incredible, attractive, and intelligent person. He’s also so full of integrity that if integrity were a tangible thing he’d have to carry most of it around in a giant truck. Dan Hunt recently premiered a documentary called Mr. Angel about Buck at SXSW, and I really hope it does amazingly. Here’s a picture from that time Ellen Stagg photographed us together.

luxnightmare: Here’s a personal confession for you guys: when I consume smut in my not work life, it is very likely written smut. I have a very specific system in place for finding the kind of stuff that I want, too.

Mansplain.
It’s a verb. It’s an action word as opposed to a noun like jerk or an adjective like pompous. I’m not sure who originated the term, but I always think of Jezebel.com when mansplaining comes up. Hugo Schwyzer did a great piece on it last year. I wrote a piece this week on my experience with hormonal birth control, and I’m grouchy about one of the comments I received via...

Squeals Of Glee
I wrote something for VICE and they published it online. Both the wonderful Molly Crabapple and the amazing Warren Ellis write for VICE. Maybe if I keep getting published I’ll turn into a real writer and have a sweet job option when it’s time to retire from the naked lady business and put my clothes back on. I envision this scenario as somewhat like Pinocchio but with nipples instead...

Here is a picture of Dr. Squeak McQueen, esq.  If you don’t want to read about something gross that happened in my pubic area, I suggest you navigate away from this post now. Two years ago a small bump appeared in the crease between my vulva and upper thigh. It was the size of a pencil eraser and it only hurt if I poked at it. I figured it was an ingrown hair. I couldn’t see a hair,...

Dear Supervert:
I have no recollection of how I found pervscan.com. I do remember being impressed by how legitimately perverted the content was. It was at times highly disturbing. It was always fascinating. When you stopped publishing on February 14th, I assumed the selection of that date was purposeful, but was it ironic? Hopeful? Done without any further meaning than the desire to make people wonder about the...

Authenticity vs The Billing Companies
I used to be able to say that, for the most part, the sex I had on camera was very much like the sex I have at home. Sure, I don’t usually groom my pubic hair, shave my legs, and put on a full face of makeup for sex in my personal life. There’s also the attempt to avoid showing the camera nothing but the back of someone’s head or blocking penetration with one’s thigh and...

A Kayden, Two Jaydens, and a James Deen
I had just gotten off a plane from LA and wanted my winter coat as soon as possible. My cab driver and I were discussing the quickest route to my apartment in Brooklyn. He called me his co-pilot, which I found charming. Kayden, stuck in traffic somewhere in one of the other boroughs, was trying to convince me to come to the party she was hosting in Manhattan that night.  It takes a really good...

Why Measure B puts adult performers at higher...
Pornography has a self imposed system of keeping ourselves as safe as possible while supplying the type of product that consumers demand. “Bizarre as the ritual is, it seems to work.”  The tests that we voluntarily use are expensive. Because so many performers test so frequently through one of two companies, we are able to get bulk rates. Vivid switched to condom-only productions for a...

Hi Internet:
Can we talk for a minute about lack of understanding and corrections of said lack? In my last post I said “Every last one of us has been a hypocrite at some point in our lives. We have all failed to sympathize with the persecution and suffering of another person or group because or in spite of our own struggles.” I believe both statements are true. They most certainly apply to me.  I...

So Measure B Passed...
…and here’s what I have to say about it at the moment: Sex, like shelter and food, is something that humans are generally wired to desire. I recognize the legitimacy of asexuality, but this can’t wait until I have the ability to see where asexuality fits in here. I also don’t know enough about trans people and the struggles they face to discuss how they are affected by the...

Sandy
I was scheduled to fly out to LA on Sunday evening to see my boyfriend and shoot a porno. I made my flight and have been internet-stalking my friends and family for signs of life for the past few days. Most of them have popped up as completely fine or fine but displaced due to power outages or flooding. A few have homes or businesses that are completely wrecked. I wish I was there to help in a...

… to a number of private questions asking variations of “Is there something wrong with me if I like/don’t like ____?” At least in the United States, you have the right to be wanton, sexually provocative, and promiscuous. You have the right to wear as little clothing as legally allowed by the government where you live. Actually, I guess you can wear less clothing than...

Context and Protection (Part 3)
Wrapping up from parts 1 and 2: Are you totally freaked out and considering never having sex again or only having sex with a completely faithful monogamous partner? Some of you definitely are. I know this because some of you have said so privately and publicly.  That’s ok. You have this really awesome thing called free will. You have the privilege of deciding what you are and are not...

Jesse Jane (god bless her sweet, bubbly heart) made a choice to get a massive breast augmentation. Seriously, each one of her breasts is about as big as her head. She really wanted giant tits. She now has giant tits and is consistently happy with them. I think they look pretty cool on her even though I wouldn’t want them in my own body.  Her choice is just as valid as the choice of a woman...

Context and Protection (Part 2)
Hopefully you’ve read part 1 and are ready to forge ahead into part 2 with me. Onward to trichomoniasis! Trichomoniasis is a parasite that can live in both vaginas and penises. It doesn’t usually have symptoms. When there are symptoms, they may include itching, odd smells, or discharge. There is a test available that involves taking a sample of vaginal or urethral discharge.  Gonorrhea...
