Shannon Bell and "Fast Feminism"
Shannon Bell’s 2010 book ”Fast Feminism” had me at the beginning of the second paragraph when she stated that she never writes about anything she hasn’t done. I really admire that desire to authentically experience things before forming and expressing opinions on them, especially coming from someone in academia.
Thirty-seven pages in, I realized that I had seen this...
“For the past six years when I go to universities I have said, “You are not...”
– Penny Arcade in an interview for Trigger Magazine with Mikal Saint George
luckystryker asked: Not so much a question as it's a comment (a compliment I hope) - More power to stars like you who make porn really sexy.
On that note, how does it affect you when people put you in the center of their fantasies? Would it bother you if it were someone whom you actually happen to know or like in a platonic way?

Name Calling
This is something I’ve gotten a lot of questions about and which I feel is under-discussed in both porn and more mainstream entertainment. In case you missed it over at popporn.com:
‘A Vagina By Any Other Name Would Still Smell Like a Vagina’
Some people seem to think that knowledge of a public persona’s real name is some kind of power to wield, like an old pulp fantasy...
thumbtackjack asked: I'm a professional wrestler and I'm super pale, so I always stand out in this business full of tanned guys. How does being extremely pale and working in the porn industry work for you? Did it help you build a reputation because you stand out? Did colleagues ever give you the feeling you should change something about your skin? Or is most of the feedback positive? After all, standing out...
somethingscrewy asked: I have always been advised that when moving from the backdoor to the front, it is a good idea to change condoms or clean the utensil. Yet, often in porn, I see performers hopping between holes with no break in the action that would imply protective measures are being taken. What is going on? (Multiple Choice)

moocheese asked: Were you pressured into doing anal in your movies, or is it something you did outside of work anyway?
herdirtylittleheart asked: So a few years ago I was checking out someone's myspace and your photo was there as one of their friends, and I thought "That is the most delicious looking woman I have ever seen." A quick investigation taught me you were intelligent, which made my pulse quicken, and that you made some very sexy movies, which was a bonus for me because, seriously, how often can you go from crushing...
erikamoen asked: Hi Stoya,
This is not a question, but I had to say "Thank you!" for linking my dirty little comic, GirlFuck! My husband and I have been great fans of yours for years now and was quite shocked to be reading through your Tumblr like normal and see my own name on there! Er, guh, sorry I'm excited. Just trying to say thank you so much much making my day :)

wedgeradio asked: Do you think it would be odd having people come up to you, who have used your fleshlight, feeling that they have had sex with you? I'm sure people obsess and some fans must be just downright frightening.
sh9876 asked: Hello Stoya,
I love your work and think you are absolutely gorgeous! I was wondering if you have any advice for flirting with women. I am a bisexual female and I have the hardest time meeting women for casual sex.
Thanks :)

Oh Amtrak...
you… with your free wireless… which has child-safe content filters built in. I get it… you don’t want some kid lurking around behind people who are looking at adult oriented things seeing something and repeating it to their parents, because sometimes those parents get very upset. I understand what you’re trying to do, but I’m trying to get some work done while I...

godlikedevil asked: You know it is kind of odd asking you this, but any female opinion helps. I'm very attracted to this Russian pole dancer who works in a gentleman's club down here. We've been corresponding for a few months now. Got any tips on how I can sweep her off her feet?
guiltyinnocence asked: I have found the one and only! I think you are simply beautiful, head to toes, Miss Stoya! Love your modeling shoots, and of course your adult films. You are a goddess! Met you at AVN 2009 and maybe I'll see you again in 2011. MUAW kiss for you! Such an honor.
ih8myfollowers-deactivated20120 asked: you mentioned that you weighed up a list of pros and cons before
you got into the industry, i know some very intelligent women in the
ahem 'dancing' field of your industry and money seems to be the main
driving factor in it. what was it for you?

Stoya vs. The Female Condom
After a lengthy adventure wandering the prophylactic section of various drug stores in a couple of different counties and failing to locate a ”female” or “internal” condom things were looking bleak for my great (if by ‘great’ you mean ‘miniscule’ and ‘not particularly scientific’) alternative safe sex experiment. This was especially...

rmirolo asked: when I was 16 my girlfriend had a sexuality crisis after watching one of your movies, (I'd shown her...) Do you often get women coming up to you telling you that you turned them gay? Do you find the process of defining a sexuality for yourself pointless or do you consider yourself bisexual or (The ever elusive!) pansexual?

godlikedevil asked: Wow, I never knew you were on Tumblr. I just wanna say I am a big fan of your work, particularly that article you wrote regarding losing privacy and normalcy as the price you ought to be willing to live with when you enter the adult industry. You are one of the most articulate yet concise porn stars out there.

1.- Who's your favorite writer?

thepixelpeeps asked: Wait, did Saha Grey turn you onto Dusan Makavejev, or are all porn stars independently into exiled Serbian radical filmmakers? Or maybe you turned her onto him? Anyway, she tweeted about his stuff. I actually took a year long film class from him in college. He's definitely a bit of a wild man and I remember a TA quit, but I got along with him and have some fond memories and good stories.
