What makes you queer and/or sexually transgressive? Being queer for me means that I can feel validated within ambiguity and grow in that space in different directions. I see sex as something magical, and potentially spiritual and something that should be explored with consideration, magic, and consent…however that looks.
How has being a queer porn star changed your life? Well, so far it’s given me something to think about politically and socially. I don’t think sex work is generally something that someone should be shamed for, and the type of shaming that is placed upon bodies for their sexuality also in general is a huge problem. I think a more progressive understanding of sex work itself can help. Taking the step to put myself out there has caused me todo some looking inside myself.. thinking, and analyzing. I feel like I have more respect for my body by choosing to be in queer porn, and I struggle with knowing that many people outside of queer porn might be surprised by that.
Pitch your life as a reality tv show: Oh gosh. I’m sure it would be totally ridiculous and people would get tired of watching me sit at coffee shops or sit on the internet for hours.
Dish about a hot exhibitionist experience: I just can’t yet.
What is your favorite sex toy? I have not used many sex toys unfortunately and till only very recently have i owned my own. Which is weird, because I worked in a sex shop for awhile… I guess till recently I was too shy to buy them.
Tell us about your QPTV scene: I felt incredibly welcome on set, esp. knowing that I could be my goth/dark alternative self. I loved meeting Courtney, and when I saw Ned Mayhem stroll through the door I couldn’t wait to get the cameras rolling. Courtney and her assistant made the experience so comfortable, and wonderful. The body positive vibes on set were really sexy. I’m new to porn as well as using toys, so I learned a lot 🙂 I’ll never forget shooting for QPTV and I hope to do it again soon 😉
Did you live out any fetishes or fantasies? Oh my goodness yes. Don’t tell Ned, but I kind of had a little crush on him before the shoot itself, so being able to work with him was really hot and i’d do it again in a heartbeat. Otherwise, I loved being fucked aggressively from behind with his hand in and over my mouth. That really put butterflies in my stomach :)<3
