“Born into Porn” Kickstarter Documentary about Porn and the Family
I’m a big fan of crowdfunding, and frequently search Kickstarter and IndieGoGo for projects related to queer sexuality, gender, pornography, and other things that I find of interest. Such as this new project, a documentary on the private lives of performers who have children, called “Born into Porn.” As a performer myself, I’ve worked with...

Good Reads, Great Books
Right now I’m nearing the half-way mark of a new book, “Feed“, by Mira Grant. It’s reminding me how much I love reading, something that I seem to have less and less time for these days. Which means that I have to schedule it into my life and make room for it, something that is...
How to Come Out like a Porn Star
“Does your family know?” It’s a question I get asked a lot and it’s a fairly simple answer: Yes, many close family members know that I do porn, and they support me. And some of them I haven’t told yet because I want to come out to them when the time is right. Simple enough...
Photographer Hal’s Flesh Love – Shrink-Wrapped Couples
I spotted this photography project today on Flavorwire. Japanese artist “Photographer Hal” has created the Flesh Love iPad App featuring images of couples who have been shrink-wrapped. I love the concept and am feeling super inspired by the idea. Don’t be surprised if you see something like this coming for Karma Pervs this year… Image:...
2011 Year in Review
What an eventful year it’s been! 2011 was great for me. It was a year jam-packed with travel and fundraising, films and artful activism. Here’s a short recap, if that can even give it justice! Photo: Rae Threat/Fleshbot.com It pretty much started with Stoya and a shaved head, in bed. January was the 2011 AVN Awards...
Fisting Day
Happy International Fisting Day! You ready for a monster post? Well grab your lube, lay back, and relax. It’s late on Thursday night and I’m typing this out at one of my favorite bars, El Rio. San Francisco just felt it’s second earthquake today. It makes me shiver thinking about the fragility of our lives,...

This is an introduction, and an invitation. The introduction is for my longer blog post which I will publish October 21st. The invitation is for you to join me and my friend Courtney Trouble in bringing awareness to one of the most amazing sexual acts I know and love: fisting. Anyone who does it knows...
Valencia: The Movie(s)
I’m stoked to be a [very small but awesome] part of the upcoming film “Valencia: The Movie(s)”, based on Michelle Tea’s book Valencia. This book was one of the sexy catalysts that drove me to want to live in San Francisco… and wouldn’t you know it, I later modeled in Michelle’s book RENT GIRL with...

This weekend is the 2nd Ecosexual Symposium, the love child of LoveArtLab‘s wedding wives Elizabeth Stephens, a UCSC art professor and environmental activist and Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D. a former feminist porn-star, and pioneering ecosexologist. Last year I attended the 1st Ecosexual Symposium held in Los Angeles, presenting on Green Porn with director Carlos Batts and...
5 Ways YOU Can Fight Porn Piracy
One of the biggest issues facing the adult industry is piracy. In the days of VHS and DVD, file sharing between fans meant burning a copy and hand-walking it over to your buddies. I had an old college friend tell me she was given an untitled disc from a pal of hers who said “this...
Feminist Porn Awards Fundraiser: MOUTH
How amazing is this pulp-inspired movie poster!? Tristan Taormino‘s newest film is “Rough Sex 3: Adrianna Nicole’s Dangerous Mind“, the latest in her “Rough Sex” series. It stars some pretty amazing people, including some of my friends and people I have met and love, such as Keni Styles, Danny Wylde, Evan Stone, Jada Fire, and...
I Have Sex.
Well, that’s obvious. I stumbled across this video on the Good Vibrations Magazine and while I am no longer technically a “youth”, I was one not too long ago and like many of the young adults featured in this video, I had sex. And, I went to Planned Parenthood. As you may have heard, the...
Benefiting Lyon-Martin Health Services, Health Care for Women & Trans
As some of you may be aware, Lyon-Martin Health Services, a non-profit health organization for women and transgender patients is in a deep financial crisis. Though I raised money for them last year as a Karma Pervs recipient, I’m going to also devote February for even more fundraising. Their existence and continued service is vital....
