LAS: How did you like the shoot today?
Z: [laughs] I loved it. It was awesome
LAS: Yeah
Z: uhhmm
Director: Hold on one second. I’m sorry
Z: Okay. Just like what?
Director: In it, did you like the sex? Do you like just being in front of the camera?
Z: Oh, I always like the sex
LAS: Thanks
[Both giggle]
LAS: Good answer, thank you.
Z: It’s a true answer. You make it really easy for me, which I really love. [Giggle] I love having fun. I definitely have fun with you. The bed was wobbly. And so when I first started, I was trying to get my bearings a little bit, but you make it easy. How about you, did you like it?
LAS: I did. I think it was really fun because I really like our dynamic. I really feel comfortable with whatever. I feel it’s really nice to actually have fun and have it really be light hearted. It’s us, and that’s really fun to do. I had a good time.
Z: I enjoyed it being mostly us
LAS: I love getting a little switchy on you
[Both giggling]
Z: Bend over
LAS: Okay
[Both giggling]
Z: I’m right handed
LAS: No, no that’s good.
Z: [giggle] [smacking of paddle] If it was better over there, I could go back over there since I’m right handed
Director: That’s true. Its just I can’t back up far enough, and its a little dark
Z: What if I was to move him up onto the table or up on the bed completely, and just do it off to the side?
Director: Yeah if you want to get him directly on the bed
[Paddle smacks] [Giggling]
Z: Did you find anything challenging?
LAS: I think the bed was a little bouncy as you said.
Z: Couldn’t get the thrust! But it was still really good.
LAS: No, I think the hardest part for me was because we tend to migrate off the bed, onto the floor, over to this side of the room.
Z: I know.
LAS: Then we go over there. So it was a little hard. Otherwise, no I felt super comfortable and you know…it was just you and I.
Z: Mmhmm. I think the more and more my clothes came off, the more and more I became comfortable.
Z: In the beginning it was like [stiff gesturing]
LAS: Oh yeah. Yeah, I was definitely nervous when we started. I think as soon as it was you and I connected. Maybe after I got hit a little bit. I think that was the hard part. Because I can take so much and we can play hard and play for a while. To actually stop and be like okay no more so we could fuck. That was a little hard.
[Both giggle]
Z: How are you doing?
LAS: Great.
Z: Let’s pick a number.
LAS: 3 [laughs]
Z: Ok, ready?
LAS: Yeah.
[Smack]
LAS: Ahh 1. Thank you.
[Smack]
LAS: Oww [laughing] 2 Thank you
[Smack]
LAS: Aah. 3 Thank you.
LAS: Have you done porn before?
[Laughing]
Z: I’ve done some amateur stuff in Seattle. I have been a private model for photographers. Nude model, nude modeling. Yeah, I think that’s about it right now.
LAS: Why do you keep doing it?
Z: Because I’m a little bit of an exhibitionist. Oh and I’m a performer, much like you. Because I think it’s important to represent a lot of different genders and sexuality and dynamics and I think it’s important to show that.
LAS: Mmhmm
Z: And I’m getting paid to fuck. I mean that’s awesome
[Laughing]
Z: You?
LAS: Me? Oh me, have I done? I have. I did one porn back in February, and that was fun. That was my first porn. But I think much like you, I’m also a big old’ exhibitionist. You know, fucking in public is always a good time. I think much like you said, I think porn is important in terms of speaking to very different kinds of audiences and breaking the norm of what porn classically is. Which is very heteronormative. So I feel like it’s really important to really put out there. Different bodied folks and people who like you said have different types of dynamics. As a way to just mainstream more of our queer culture. I feel like that’s important. I feel like that could come in porn and also performances of any sort. So I keep doing it.
[Moaning] [Yeah] [Fuck yeah, oh fuck me]
Z: I want to do it again, but I’d like to pierce a spot though. Closing thoughts…like how the day went?
LAS: Yeah
Z: Good. It felt good the whole way through. I could feel myself getting nervous up to it, but yeah.
LAS: I think it was really fun for me to do it with someone I know and trust versus the other time it was with strangers. That’s fun on its own, but it was really nice to have you there and it just be us. It made me forget the cameras so much more easily. This feels like a cool space to do it in.
Z: Yeah, I was surprised that I had forgotten that cameras as well.
