[Off Camera] (Crew): (Sounds of a Camera, Clicking)
INTERVIEW
DD: Um.. not really, actually – like it just felt like it flowed really well, and.. um.. I mean.. I think if I had to do this with somebody else, it would, I’d probably have some like.. bigger hangups around things, but.. no, I felt like it went really well.. um.. I was definitely trying to like.. I re.. I.. kept remembering that there was cameras, so I kept thinking “oh, right” (Laughs) ..but other than that, that was about it
AS: Yup.. yup.. (Laughs)
DD: What about you? Anything challenging?
AS: Um.. well.. uh.. I have no problem being perfectly transparent – I am hungover as fuck today (Laughs)
DD: (Laughs) No sympathy
AS: And you knew that, so.. I know, um.. it’s totally cool, I don’t regret it at all, but yeah, um, I partied a little too hard last night, so, uh.. And generally I, I, like, before shoots I try and you know make sure that I’m well rested, and my body’s feeling good and, um.. everything’s in working order, and I’m showing up on set like in my best self, and I just really went balls to the wall last night, and..
DD: Like overalls fuckin’ like just hang.. like, “I don’t care”.. like,
AS: (Laughs) So I was really proud
DD: ..”he’s seen me before”.. (Laughs)
AS: (Laughs) I know.. I was like really proud of myself that I made it here, um..
DD: (Laughs)
AS: ..and also, uh, that like I don’t think um.. it, it would.. it would have been challenging if it had been anyone else. If I had to shoot with anyone else..
DD: Put on face
AS: ..it would have been challenging.
DD: Yeah.
AS: But this is like.. again, it’s it just feels like super natural for me. Not “supernatural”, but..
DD: (Laughs) I mean.. I did bite you..
AS: (Laughs) um.. I know
DD: ..could be supernatural..
AS: I know, you didn’t wolf howl though..
DD: Yeah, no.. (Laughs)
AS: Um.. and also like you know me I’m very much like a protector / caretaker personality, so there were definitely moments where you.. like especially when I was going down on you, and then everyone was like getting up in your grill right there I was like.. the.. the.. my mamma bear was like.. was like “oh.. is he ok? Like he hasn’t experienced this before” because the other shoot that we did was just one camera
DD: Yeah
AS: One person, and it was very, like, floaty all over the place.. so I was like “I wonder if.. he.. like I thinking about your sexual responses.. I was like “I wonder if he’s gona like.. take longer to cum than normal, because there are a bunch of people up in his face.. I wonder if this is like distracting for him?.. I wonder if it’s okay?.. did I prepare him adequately?.. for, like, what would happen?.. like.. Am I, just like.. spiraling all of my partner’s non-consensual sex..
DD: (Laughs)
AS: ..without my knowledge?.. (Laughs)
DD: I mean, that.. that part is a yes.. that part’s yes.. um..
AS: Um.. No, it was.. it was hard for me to stay present a little bit during that because I was like worried about you
DD: Well, you know it didn’t come off at all (Laughs)
AS: Yeah, great – I hide it well. I’ve done this like once or twice before
DD: And, and.. yeah, I wasn’t even.. I was not even paying attention to the cameras at all. I was like “I’m.. I’m paying attention to what’s happening”..
AS: Mmm hmm
DD: You’re very distracting
AS: I’ve heard that before
DD: (Laughs)
SCENE
AS: K? Okay good. (Laughs)
DD: (Laughs)
AS: Good, appropriately cuddly
DD: (Breathing deeply)
[Off Camera]: (Sounds of Cameras clicking)
DD: Ahhahhh.. mmm..
AS: (Laughs)
[Off Camera]: Too much packaging!
[Off Camera]: SLH: I know right? Got it
AS: Thanks Lube Fairy
[Off Camera]: (SLH): (Laughs)
INTERVIEW
DD: Um.. What are your safe sex practices and why?
AS: (Laughs) Um..
DD: I feel like I already know this
AS: I know, right?
DD: (Laughs)
AS: I hope you know this by now (Laughs)
DD: (Laughs)
AS: Surprise! Um.. I uh.. so, I.. um.. am not monogamous (Laughs). So in shock. We’re non-monogomous
DD: I didn’t know this!
AS: We’re non-mon.. non-monogomous.. um.. I don’t hook up very often, but, uh, when I do, um.. I do, like, risk assessment.. harm reduction.. uh.. conversations with the person beforehand and, if I feel really solid about their sexual history and their status, which honestly doesn’t happen very often, then I’ll eschew protection.. but otherwise I’m pretty diligent about protection, because I like protecting my people.. um.. and, uh.. I’m on Truvada, I’ve been on Truvada for almost 2 years for HIV stuff (go Truvada)..
DD: Woo!
AS: ..and, um.. uh.. what else? I get tested a lot, um.. just because of the sex industry. I get tested usually every 30 days, so..
DD: So just like a great practice anyway, like..
AS: Yeah, exactly.
DD: Yeah
AS: People should just do that anyway
DD: Yeah
AS: What about you?
DD: Um, I mean I.. I’m a.. I’m more monogamously-minded than you.. Yeah, um.. so I hook up.. So I hook up even less than you do
AS: (Laughs)
DD: Once in a.. in a fuckin’ purple moon (Laughs) anyway.. um.. Not even blue. And so.. I.. when it does happen.. like.. gloves, barriers.. all the, all the fun, protective things.. um.. but, I mean with my partners, I.. I.. ask if anything’s going on, but I usually know in advance and.. it.. you know, everything’s usually above board, and get tested fairly regularly..
AS: You try and keep it a closed nest or a closed loop..
DD: Exactly – yeah.. so I, I feel pretty comfortable with the level of risk that I’m taking (Laughs)
AS: Yeah, likewise
SCENE
AS: (Laughs)
DD: (Laughs)
AS: I think we’re good if you guys are good (Laughs)
DD: (Laughs)
AS: That’s what happens when I play with my own cum
DD: I’m shocked you only needed one pack..
INTERVIEW
AS: So I know..
DD: (Laughs)
AS: ..that you.. are not a porn performer by nature..
DD: I feel like this is cheating.. like..
AS: I know.. I have al.. I have all the intel..
DD: (Laughs)
AS: ..but uh.. so this was (as we mentioned earlier).. um.. this was technically your second shoot
DD: Yeah
AS: ..but I.. I kinda wanna like start the narrative with: “this was your first shoot”, um.. just because it will be the first one to see the light of day..
DD: Right.. that’s..
AS: ..that’s exciting, um.. you can send it to your mom and dad for christmas..
DD: Oh yeah.. they’d love that..
AS: Um.. and, uh.. but yeah, what was um.. what made you wanna.. do another / your first.. porno?
DD: Um.. (Laughs) I mean.. my.. my co-star had a lot to do with that.. um.. (Laughs) So, um.. I mean I feel like once you’ve been dating a.. someone who does sex work for four years, you end up falling in (Laughs)
AS: (Laughs)
DD: ..so, that’s just..
AS: Tripped and fell into the sex industry..
DD: Right, it’s like you’re covered with leaves, and it’s like “oh no!” (Laughs)
AS: Well you did.. you did your first um.. full.. nude.. you did your first strip tease..
DD: I did
AS: ..very recently, as well
DD: Yeah.. there’s a lot of firsts this month..
AS: Yeah, and it was a full nude strip tease.. and this is your second porn film.. I’m trying to think if you did any other kinds of..
DD: I thought I’d snowball a lot.. slower.. but.. no, apparently all in the same month, just do it
AS: Yup
DD: Um..
AS: So proud of you
DD: (Laughs) No, it was.. it.. I’m glad I did it again, I.. I don’t know if it would end up being like a thing that I’d do on any sort of regular basis, or that wasn’t with someone who I was already with, but, like.. I mean, it was very.. like I said I was very comfortable, and like I felt good about it, so.. I don’t ha.. I wouldn’t have any qualms about doing it again but like.. yeah the reason I did it in the first place is totally on you (Laughs)
AS: I’m like.. kind of like.. envious of you in this funny way because I.. I wish I had your like sexual response cycle
DD: (Laughs)
AS: Cuz you have like a perfect sexual response cycle for porn (Laughs). Like you can cum so easily, in like a variety of different ways, in a variety of different positions and environments, and, like, your stamina is really good
DD: (Laughs)
AS: (Laughing) for topping.. So I’m like, you actually like have all the things going on..
DD: (Laughs)
AS: I know, like.. it has.. it’s actually.. (you know this).. it’s like really difficult for me to have like legit orgasms on camera.. um..
DD: And in.. in general, like..
AS: Yeah, and in general, and I’m not an exhibitionist, which, most people find really hilarious about me, uh..
DD: Yeah (Laughs)
AS: ..but you already know all this stuff about me, and, like, I love being able to like.. I’ve always been able to have, like, real orgasms on CrashPad sets, which makes me really happy, so..
DD: Awwh..
AS: I know
DD: (Laughs)
AS: Um..
DD: Yeah.. well..
AS: Alright, now it’s your turn (Laughs)
DD: Well, ok, I also know this but.. what, so.. today.. and why do you continue to do porn?
AS: (whispers something unintelligible) I know. Um.. why do I continue to do porn? (Laughs)
DD: (Laughs) This is a real question
AS: No, I love it.. um.. I.. uh.. (Sighs) My hesitancy is only because I feel like I get asked this question a lot, so I’m like.. I’m.. I’m always like afraid of being like too repetitive, but um.. but the real answer is just that I started watching porn at a really young age, and, um.. I.. never saw bodies that were representative of mine, and.. I’m not even, like, a.. big or brown or trans person.. and I still found it lacking, and.. because of that, even though I got into the sex industry when I was 18, I like never thought I would ever be able to do porn. Because in my mind I was like, “that’s not.. I don’t look like.. that”. Like I don’t.. like, the porn industry wouldn’t accept me. Like I couldn’t work in it. And um.. and that’s not true.. (Laughs) ..in so many different ways..
DD: You’re so self-deprecating, it’s like I don’t.. and I’m just like you’re just..
AS: Well I also have way larger.. I mean I have way larger inner labia.. and like that’s like a huge like..
DD: Yeah
AS: ..self conscious thing that I’ve been working through my whole life.. and porn has been a like huuuge way for me to like work through that and gain like a lot of like confidence and empowerment around m’junk..
DD: (Laughs)
AS: ..um.. and, uh.. and.. so, yeah.. and like.. like.. my favorite thing, like I don’t, you know, I have, (like you know me), I have a million other jobs, like I don’t do it for the money.. um.
DD: Yeah, our names really.. our names should really change.. like.. you’re the jack of all trades, not me
AS: It’s true.. totally true (Laughs)
DD: I don’t even care
AS: Um.. but, um.. but.. yeah, I.. I guess I keep doing it because, um.. because every so often there is someone who comes up to me who’s like I watched a scene that you did and it, like, changed how I thought about.. blank. And they’re, 9 times out of 10, a queer person, like a marginalized person, um.. it feels like a form of activism. And right now, like, in the time that we’re in, like I kind of can’t do anything that’s not activism. So..
DD: Yeah..
AS: ..that’s kind of where I am
DD: ..anyone in this industry or anybody that is is partially marginalized is just like “Every.. every day is activism” just like.. getting up
AS: Everyone who’s interested in human consciousness, should be like that, but.. yeah. Anyway..
DD: Exactly
AS: ..Aaand let’s all talk politics into the camera.. yay! Porn! (Laughs)
DD: Porn is politics
[OFF CAMERA]: (SLH): Porn is politics
AS: Porn is politics. That’s how I feel
