(Intro music)

Freya: How did you enjoy the shoot today?

Janie: Mmm… Mmhmm!
Freya: Yeah?

Janie: How did you enjoy the shoot?

Freya: It was great. We got all sweaty. And wet. And sticky. I had so much fun with you!

Janie: It’s nice to see you, it’s been so long!

Freya: I know!

Janie: God, this was so – this was everything.

Freya: Working with you is icing on the cake.

Janie: Oh my god, of course! Yeah, I mean… What a dream shoot. I haven’t seen you in so long. And CrashPad is always just a fun, awesome company to shoot with. I’m glowing right now.

Freya: Did you um….

(Shine Louise Houston, off camera): Did you find anything challenging?

Janie: Um, the most challenging thing was literally stopping myself from riding the bed across the room. And breaking everything!

Freya: I was gonna say…

Janie: By Riding your cock!

Freya: The most challenging part was the goal that you had in mind, which was to fuck me across the room. You’re trying so very hard

Janie: You know the one time I showed restraint… Oh the cameras are set up and… no I should have just taken it across the… the city!

Freya: Yeah, I though we might break the bed at one point. Cause you were riding my dick so hard

Janie: I mean…
Freya: I was impressed!

Janie: I mean… your dick was really nice

Freya: Thank you
Janie: Yeah

Janie: It just felt so good.
Janie: What other questions we got?

(Shine, off camera): Did you also say if there was anything challenging for you?

Janie: Oh yeah, I’m sorry.

Freya: Um, challenging? Ah, just… I think…You were so high energy and I just wanted to be like…Do I have to like, turn it up a little bit? But I think we had really good complementary sort of chemistry

Janie: Yeah. I think we complemented each other very well. I just can’t help it. I’m a… cock monster!

Freya: But yeah, nothing else really was super challenging. Yeah.

(Shine, off camera): What are your safer sex practices and why?

Freya: Safer sex practices…. um… I mean… It’s been COVID time so I haven’t really… it’s so funny because COVID has brought out this conversation that usually you only really have in relationships where it’s like, “Oh, who are you sleeping with?” But with COVID, it was like, “Oh, who are you seeing?”

Janie: – Breathing near!

Freya: Yeah, like who’s air are you sharing?

Freya: Safer sex practices… Barriers are usually something that I use frequently in my personal life.

Janie: You’re a great communicator too. Communication is a safer sex practice.

Freya: What about you?

Janie: I mean, I get tested all the fucking time. Because I do work in this industry. But even outside of the industry I think getting tested is really important and I’m on PrEP* [*pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV] What else… I mean, I believe in vaccines. I believe in those things. I believe in communicating with people. I think the safest sex practice is fucking talking with people. So yeah, communication… getting tested regularly… condoms are very important too.

Freya: Yeah, I told you that when we had our discussion about testing, you’d said that you gotten tested recently and I have not, but, I mean, we did talk about how I haven’t really been… seeing people…

Janie: – Yeah. Communication is important

Freya: … outside of my partner — who says hello by the way

Janie: “Hi”
And what else we got?
Freya: – We’re all friends!

(Shine, off camera): The next question is: If you’ve done porn before, why do you continue to do porn? You can ask each other.

Janie: Go for it.

Freya: Um, I mean, I always enjoy the performative aspect of sex I love getting off in front of other people for their enjoyment it’s been something that’s been hot to me like ever since I was a kid I always enjoyed being watched. It’s something that I didn’t think was kinky until later on I was like, You know what, I’ve always actually liked being kind of an exhibitionist. So that’s kind of like why I got started in this industry doing porn ’cause that whole idea has just been hot to me.

And why do I continue to do it? Um, well it pays really well.

Janie: Sometimes.
Freya: Sometimes.

Freya: Um… and… It’s a lot of fun. And I get to work with amazing people.

Janie: Where?

Freya: Everybody here in this room today!
So, what about you?

Janie: GOD. I have no other life skills! I’m loud and obnoxious and I love cock! That’s why. No, I mean… I think porn for me has been very empowering for being in control of my life and working at a pace that I enjoy and I’m also at the point right now in porn where I can say ‘No’ to people. Like, I don’t give a fuck how big you are, because you’re a douchebag. And I don’t have to work with you.

Freya: You get to be your own boss!

Janie: Especially now, because there’s so much there’s so many ways of distributing your content and producing your own content so I think really, now is a great time to really be in the industry and take control of your career and everything.

Freya: If it’s not legislated in a way that makes it more difficult for us which is something that we constantly have to be mindful of and be on top of because this industry is heavily regulated. It’s getting harder and harder to produce and distribute this content.

Janie: In some ways.

Freya: Our community is constantly under attack. And that is exhausting.

Janie: Absolutely.
Freya: Yeah. But, you know…Yeah… Well, I mean Not to get like…super real and depressing. That’s the reality of the kind of industry that we work in. Constantly fighting

Janie: I know
Freya: Yeah. You know. I’m preaching to the choir. But people at home don’t realize how hard it can get.

(Shine) So, bonus question.. What was the best thing about quarantine?

Freya: See, I was afraid of this question because I don’t know if I have a good answer for it. I had a really hard time in quarantine. The best part? I guess the best part is that I was able to… to stay home and take care of the people that I love.

Janie: Aww…

Freya: I don’t want to get all teary-eyed…It was a traumatizing year for a lot of people.

Janie: Absolutely. God. I spent so much of quarantine just self-loathing really just struggling. The best thing that came out of quarantine is I got my dream apartment and it’s rent-controlled because all the techies moved the fuck out! (blows kiss) BYE! But yeah, I mean… After the last year we had, it’s really important to pick out your strengths and what really got you through it and being proud of you know, like we did get through something catastrophic and crazy. I’m just so happy to still be here and to have not moved to fucking Vegas.

Freya: Yeah

Janie: And ended up with the apartment that I really like and having the space to produce my own content.

Freya: That’s awesome

Janie: And being proud of myself for resilience.

Freya: I’ve also, like recently my roommate moved out and I’m finally in a position where I can actually afford to live on my own in the Bay Area, which is a lot

Janie: Absolutely

Freya: But uh, yeah I’m also excited to have my own space. It’s been a really long time
since I’ve lived alone.

(Shine) The next question: Now that restrictions are starting to lift, what is something that you’re
looking forward to doing that you haven’t done in the last year?

Janie: I want to get filled with cocks. Like as many fucking cocks as possible.

Freya: There’s so much

Janie: I miss Folsom St. Fair… I miss…

Freya: I miss community

Janie: Queers and weirdos at the club. I miss fucking….city life

Freya: I miss going to the Eagle. And hanging out with leather queers. And, um, going to events. Running a train on my friend on her birthday in the bathroom.

Janie: My birthday’s on Tuesday.

Freya: (Laughs) Shut up, really?
Janie: It is. International Whore’s Day! I am the patron saint of whores.

Freya: I’m gonna light a candle for you.

Janie: Thank you. And I’ll hold it in my butt. And it will drip down… Tingle and burn… I’ll squirm a lot…

Freya: Terrible for nobody.

Janie: Anything else we got?

Freya: What else am I interested in doing now that restrictions…Oh! I’m excited to see my family,
for the first time in like, three years. I hadn’t seen them for a while before COVID but it was especially hard being away from everyone during COVID so, yeah. See my family. I miss them. And I’m excited to see them.

Janie: Anything else?

(Shine) That’s it! Awesome! Thank you! The hard part’s over.

Janie and Freya: Mmhm! Thank you!
