Williams Queer Porn Recap
Last weekend I spoke at Williams College as part of the Mike Dively Committee Twentieth Anniversary Celebration, which is funded from an endowment intended “to develop an understanding of human sexuality and sexual orientation and their impact on culture.”

Feminist Porn Award Nominations 2012
Feminist porn pioneer Annie Sprinkle once said: “The answer to bad porn is not no porn, but to try to make better porn!” And to this I would add: not necessarily “better” porn, but specifically, “MORE” porn. Because “better” is in the eye of the beholder, and given that all adults involved are legal and consenting, there’s...
MOMMY IS COMING to Berlinale!
I’m excited to travel to Berlin tomorrow to attend the premiere of MOMMY IS COMING at the 62nd Berlinale, Berlin International Film Festival. MOMMY IS COMING is a raunch comedy directed by Cheryl Dunye and co-written by Sarah Schulman, and produced by Dunye, Claus Matthes, and Jürgen Brüning, who you might recognize as the producer...
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...
RodeoH Campaign
Fun times! Shine Louise Houston and I modeled the new RodeoH Harnesses, and Tristan Crane took cute pics. Want to see the harness below the belt? Check them out at RodeoH.com.
2012 AVN Award Nominations
The 2012 AVN Award Nominations have been announced, but this year I’m not attending the event. I’ve been traveling so much in the recent months that I haven’t had a moment to go back home and visit my family. So I’m taking the opportunity to go back to Maui, and do all the things I’ve...
Feminist Porn Awards 2012 – Call for Nominations
I’m excited to share that it’s time for the nominations period for the Feminist Porn Awards. The event is hosted by the sex toy store “Good For Her” in Toronto. Each year the screening and awards ceremony gets bigger and bigger, grabbing the attention of international media and raising important discussions about pornography. And bringing...
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,...
October 21st is Fisting Day
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...
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...
Safer Sex in Queer Porn and the Condom Debate
It’s late afternoon on a grey, overcast Monday in the SOMA district of San Francisco. For the last few months — and especially this weekend — I’ve been reading about changes happening in Los Angeles in the mainstream porn industry. I’d like to think there’s more difference between San Francisco’s little queer porn hub and...
J-Bird’s Queer Porn Story
I shot with J-Bird not too long ago on CrashPadSeries.com. I had such a fun, sweet time with him! J-Bird is a hot new genderqueer porn performer on the scene, and definitely a star to look out for. Check out our scene, and be sure to catch him on Twitter, Facebook, and his adorably awesome Youtube Channel. His illustrated queer...
100th Episode of CrashPadSeries.com… with Nina Hartley!
*pinches self* Nope, that didn’t work… *slaps self*… maybe better… maybe… How excited am I!? First of all, Nina Hartley — who many people may know from the film “Boogie Nights” and others may know and love from her countless sex ed videos (and of whom, many supported as she recovers from surgery) — recently inquired...
Cherry Episode 2 – Trailer
Check out the trailer for Cherry Episode 2, by Jewelbox Films/Digital Playground. Kay Brandt is the director of the series, and it’s really new grounds for mainstream pornography. I have a small but noticeably distinguished part in it as androgynous DJ Carson and have sex with Andy San Dimas. Read more about Cherry in my...
