Voice off camera: I’m going to clap. I got your hands. I got hands. [clap] Thank you!

SCENE

EMMA: So, how did you enjoy the shoot today?

GOLDEN: It was really fun. [laugh, sigh] It was fun. And exhilarating. And exhausting. [laugh] How did you enjoy the shoot?

EMMA: I really enjoyed it. I think that was the sweatiest that I’ve… [laugh] I don’t know how, but some pretty sweaty [inaudible], but… that was really great.

SCENE

EMMA: … fuck…

SCENE

EMMA: So, what was challenging about this shoot?

GOLDEN: Probably my nerves. I came in really nervous, because I really admire CrashPad and… was a little Midwest queer jerking off to CrashPad. Being able to be on it is awesome and super anxiety provoking. That was hard, but… I got used to it. What was the most challenging part for you?

EMMA: My sense of balance, I think. [laugh] It was… whoa. I get nervous for shoots as well and… no matter how well you know your partner or if it is a complete stranger, you want to make sure they fell great. So, that is all in the back of your mind. Stuff like that.

SCENE

GOLDEN: Damn, oh fuck! God damn it! Oh, fuck! Fuck! Oh my god! Fuck! Oh, yes!

EMMA: Oh, shit. Want me to stop?

GOLDEN: No!

SCENE

GOLDEN: What are your safe sex practices and why?

EMMA: Well… you know, that is contingent on the partner. Barriers are always great. I usually wear condoms if I’m using my trans clit to fuck someone. Either in the ass or the cunt or wherever. I… you know… I do a lot around HIV and STD testing. The more I know about it, the less I’m freaked about… those type of things. But, it is really important to communicate that to me. Communication and barriers.

GOLDEN: Yeah, I think. Yeah, definitely. I’m the same way. The more I know my partner, the more comfortable I feel using less barriers but I do… my number one safe sex practice is communication, because… I wanna know if you like it. And if you don’t like it. And that is important to me for being sure… just even asking about statuses is important.

SCENE

GOLDEN: So, why do you do porn?

EMMA: Well, because I like fucking on camera. I’m a bit of a exhibitionist. I think said this before, but for the trans women bodies in porn are important to show… that we like to get fucked in different ways. It’s really what I like about it. What about you?

GOLDEN: This is… technically my second shoot but it’s still feel really, really new to me. I do it because I like… I do it for lots of reasons. I do it to feel, I don’t know, feel comfortable in my own skin. I do it to show other people to be comfortable in their own skin. I do it… no, I think… showing different types of sexualities and different… and different types of bodies and different type of people are having sex. It’s a real thing. It’s not just typical mainstream porn actors that have sex and have kinky sex and sex for pleasure. [laugh] It’s important. It’s awesome to celebrate our bodies. It’s awesome to… feel welcome in this space and to feel wanted in this space. It is really important. It makes me feel good. And that’s why I do most things. [laugh]

SCENE

GOLDEN: [laugh]

VOC: This is a good ending for us, if this is a good ending for you.

EMMA: Yeah.

GOLDEN: Yay!

SCENE

GOLDEN: Thank you so much for the opportunity. I really appreciate it. I really appreciate making… it’s awesome. It’s awesome to be a part of it. I thank you.
