(Intro Music)

Maxine: What was your favorite part about the shoot today?
(Laughs)
Hold on… I, Robot.

Valentine: I definitely checked something off my sexual bucket list, which was getting sprayed with breast milk!

Maxine: Yeah!

Valentine: And, I don’t think I’ve actually pumped in the open role played with animal play. It’s always like a private thing you know?

Maxine: Yeah

Valentine: It’s kind of questionable sometimes, so…

Maxine: Well I feel really honored!

Valentine: Yeah! I knocked two things off! What was your favorite part about shooting today?

Maxine: Oh, so many things. My favorite part of shooting today was our chemistry. I thought that we just like built a really nice scene. It was really fun. And it was really hot and I love coming while squeezing breast milk.

Valentine: That was so awesome! Oh my god.

Maxine: It’s visual and visceral and you made me come super hard, and that was a lovely part of today.

Valentine: An honor as well! ‘Cuz it’s really hard to come sometimes on camera. And it felt very easy today.

(Sighs) Likewise.

Maxine: What was challenging about the shoot today?

Valentine: Wearing latex the whole time. I mean, honestly, nothing really felt challenging thankfully. But I would say that logistically… like… so much more sweat with the latex on, which sometimes adds to the beauty of latex. right. Exactly, yeah.

In this environment, it was like, ideal.

It’s like, if I’m going to sweat anywhere, it’s going to be in a bed.

Valentine: How about you? What was your challenging….

Maxine: Um, Most challenging…you know, this is the first scene that I’ve shot postpartum. So I’d say the challenge is more mental. Just like, okay. I’ve shot a lot of things in my day, but it’s been a minute and so just kind of psyching myself up and getting ready to feel like hot and sexy on camera was a little bit more than usual today

Valentine: Well I assure you from the outside perspective, you’re very hot and sexy.

Maxine: Aww, thanks! I’ll take that!

Valentine: Yeah, no, that’s valid. You kinda have to psyche yourself up for it.

Maxine: Yeah, totally.

Valentine: What are your safer sex practices? And why?

Maxine: So I would say, my biggest safer sex practice is communication. Being able to talk to my partner or partners about what I’ve been doing and when they’ve been tested, all of those things, is my biggest tool. Other than that, I try to get tested on a semi-regular basis or as needed. Use barriers for fluids when I’m not trying to exchange fluids with someone. But yeah. Communication, I think, is my main one.

And “Why”… You know, there is – there is no “safe” sex; there is “safer” sex and there’s, you know, lots of logistical things we can do to reduce risk but for me, talking about it and be able to assess risk and make decisions for my physical health and energetic and emotional health is is key for me.

Valentine: Yes
Maxine: – Yeah. And what about you? What are your favorite sex practices? And why?

Valentine: Um, I…

Valentine: I just blanked, because I haven’t had sex in a long time! (Laughs) Um… I was like “Don’t have sex for a long period of time?” I don’t know! (Laughs)

Maxine: Super safe!

Valentine: Super safe, right?!

Maxine: I think that’s what preachers say. Abstinence… is the safest sex around.

Valentine: Um, so I do get tested frequently. Every time I have a new partner, I try to get tested within a few weeks or so of that person. And if I’m doing a series of people, I have a talk with them to make sure that they’ve been tested recently, or at least if they know if they have any, sort of, flag statuses where I’m like, “Okay, I can make a sound decision around how we will interact. I have been with people who have active STIs and I’m like, “Cool. Great. Awesome. We’ll figure out a way around it.” That’s okay. And generally if I have…penetrative sex, it’s usually with a condom, if I don’t have penetrative sex, it’s usually game on! And all the fluids are exchanged, with safety in mind. The reason why I do is because I – I like to have very messy, fluid-based sex. And so in order for me to feel comfortable and safe I make sure that I’m protecting myself and protecting others as best as I can.

Maxine: And you’re great about talking about that. We had a video check-in a couple days ago and you were really easy to talk about it.

Valentine: And it’s just…

Maxine: It’s hot too!
Valentine: – It’s hot, yeah!

Maxine: I really appreciated the way you communicated about it. And now, not only is it about STI status and testing, but it also has to do with COVID.

Valentine: Yeah.

Maxine: It’s the new, other element in talking about safer sex. Which we were also able to it like really freely discuss. But I feel like people that are used to talking about and negotiating safer sex conversations are much more equipped to talk about the last time you’ve been tested for COVID and what your socialization practices are. So all that stuff is really interesting to me and it almost feels harder to negotiate and get on the same page about COVID stuff than it does about sex things right now.

Maxine: I’m glad we’re able to –
Valentine: Me too! Phew!
Maxine: – break the barrier and get together
Valentine: Literally, the barriers were…gone and non-existent. Broken.

Maxine: Have you done porn before?

Valentine: I mean, this is my first time. I’ve never been here before, ever.

(Laughs)

Valentine: No, I have done lots of porn. Lots of sexy things on film. I have not been here since 2018 and it feels amazing to be back. And I’m so glad I could just… make it and I’m glad that you were able to come in and we were able to make this really hot beautiful scene. And I continue to do porn because I really love having sex with amazing people who are creative and want to…share a moment, even if it’s like “for profit” but also I think there’s always an underlying like, “No, we would have, we would have done this!” you know? And I think that that’s really fun and it’s hot and it just kind of adds another element to being intimate with people on set and on camera.

Maxine: Yeah.

Valentine: How about you? Is this your first time?

Maxine: This is NOT my first time. Yeah, I’ve been doing porn for almost 13 years now.

Valentine: Yeah! I’m just under you.

Maxine: Yeah?

Valentine: I’m like, around 12.

Maxine: Wow, yeah! Yeah, so it’s been a minute and I continue to do porn. I’m at a position now where I choose to participate — because I do a lot of other types of sex work, and so if I am going to do something on film it’s usually something that is something I’m really excited about and is with someone who I really am excited to work with and, you know, one of the things I like most about doing porn is getting the chance to have sex with hot people that are also really good at sex.

Valentine: We talked about that. (Laughs)

Maxine: That’s a great thing to get paid for. So that feels really exciting or I try to engage with like projects that are really interesting or creative. Maybe a little bit artsy or that pay me really well, like that’s also, down for that. So, yeah, you know, also from an artistic perspective I am really interested in and excited about documenting my sexuality and how that has fluxed and changed over the years. And like, right now, I’m interested in documenting my hot mom phase and you know, my body has changed and will continue to change and I like representing that people post pregnant and postpartum are still sexual hot beings that are good at fucking.

Valentine: I’ve fucked a lot of parents in my day. And it’s hot. It’s so fun! It’s like, equal parts nurturing… because of course, most people who parent are nurturing and it’s also just…taking back that energy of like, “I am a sexual being…I’m not someone who sits around and keeps home.”

Maxine: Totally.

Valentine: I’m a feral being who happens to be a parent.

Maxine: Yeah.

Valentine: And it’s great, I love that.

Maxine: Thank you for seeing that.

Valentine: Yeah! Thank you for being here! God, you’re so amazing!

(Laughs)

Valentine: You’re really good at sex.

Maxine: So are you.

Valentine: Thank you.

Maxine: What has been your favorite part about quarantine?

Valentine: Therapy.

Maxine: Oh, nice!

Valentine: I dove real deep into therapy. And honestly, it was so good.

Maxine: That’s rad.

Valentine: Yeah! I really took that time to really work on myself and I was just like, “What are the things that I’m really struggling with and what are the things that I really need unbiased guidance on?” So I drove real deep and hard into that. It was really really helpful and I feel like coming out of it. It’s like I know more about who I am. I know more about the things that I desire and deserve in life and learning how to say “No” to things has been really crucial for me cuz I really like experiences. And so I say “Yes” to a lot of things but I don’t realize how detrimental it can be. Therapy has been really helpful and anti-depressants.

Maxine: Yeah. That’s cool! Thanks for sharing that.

Valentine: How about you? What’s been your favorite part of quarantine?

Maxine: My favorite part of quarantine…You know, one of the nice things is it was kind of a interesting reset button for me, career-wise, and socially. Like everything’s… socially, a lot of things stoped. And the way in my work because it’s such an interaction with other people, it really allowed me to re-examine what was working, and what wasn’t working, and weed some things out. I have always have a tendency to say “Yes” to all the projects and start new ones in the midst of that and take on a little too much. So… halting all of that has allowed me to integrate back into things with a little more intention. My life has changed a ton and when quarantine started I was parent of one young kid then got pregnant in April of 2020. So I was pregnant during that time So between pregnancy and quarantine I’ve definitely trimmed some things out and tried to keep more of my energy, and not let it out in the world so much. Yeah, that’s felt good.

Valentine: Good on you! I’m proud of you for doing that.

Maxine: Thank you!

Valentine: It’s not easy to do.

Maxine: No. It’s still a process, but, yeah. I’m working on it.

Valentine: Good job.

Maxine: Thanks! This is a lovely way to spend Valentine’s Day!

Valentine: Yay! It’s MY DAY!

Maxine: Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! It’s your day!
Valentine: – It’s MY day!

Maxine: (Maxine sings) Valentine’s Day!

Valentine: You’re so great.

(SMOOCH)

Maxine: This is good. It was good to see YOU. It was good to see everyone behind the camera!

Valentine: Yes! Oh my god, happy Valentine’s Day!

Maxine: This was really special.

Valentine: It was so good! It was so nice coming back. And seeing everybody. And (sighs and laughs). It was really, really good.

Both: Yeah.
