I’m ecstatic that Point of Contact is finally going to see the light of day!

Usually, when I perform in porn, the video is released within a month or two, and I get to experience my current sexuality on display for all to see (a dream come true for an exhibitionist such as myself!). In the case of Point of Contact, I am about to enjoy the rare opportunity to see footage of my erotic self of five years ago.

These scenes really showcase what a serious exhibitionist slut I was at the time. I treasure my slutty friendships; I’m so grateful to everyone who performed with me! And in my jerk-off scene you can see me just getting to know a dildo that is still my all-time favorite sex toy.

Most of my scenes were shot in one day, in an East Bay bondage house that is very near and dear to my whore heart. The fact that I went from playing an attention-hungry slave to a spanking top to a little boy in the space of a few hours makes this sort of a documentary of the campy, switchy, genderflux nature of my sexuality.

I really must thank Ex Libris, who did a lot of the camera work, for teaching me the most important rule of filming porn: a poorly composed shot of an orgasm is always preferable over a pretty shot of the floor.

With this project, Shine Louise Houston and the gang really gave me a platform as a sex worker and queer artist. This project empowered me to transform a lot of my ideas about sex and BDSM — age play fantasies, bondage, gender-fucking — into hardcore films. It was certainly one of the things that inspired me to co-create, produce, and direct the multi-Feminist Porn Award winning QueerPorn.Tv.

I think the best thing about the current release of Point of Contact is that it coincides with the recent launch of my newest project, “Why Are People Into That?!” a podcast about the whys and wherefores of human sexuality. Five years ago, I was using porn performance to connect with an audience, and now I’m happily writing and making media to explore those same subjects. I’m in a completely different time of my life now. The only thing that’s stayed the same is my irrepressible versatile pervyness, which is on pretty glorious display in these clips.
