Someone commented recently on the lack of personal posts here, and it got me thinking about the rollercoaster of a (relatively) long career in sex work. You have to be like water to stay one step ahead of the burn out and over exposure, finding things that fuel your inner whore while avoiding the little tasks that tax your reserves. Putting my thoughts into words can be one of the first things I ignore, but in reality I think it's worth the struggle.
Early 2011 I started my experimentation with vanilla porn, something I honestly never thought I would do. Traditional BDSM movies historically had minimal sexual contact, hell sometimes not even nudity. Over the years that boundary has been broken, and if memory serves that was largely due to the launch of Sex and Submission by Kink.com. The idea of fucking a girl while she was tied up was a real legal taboo that few production companies had the balls (aka money) to challenge.
Because of that history "strictly fetish" models often had a bit of an attitude about vanilla porn. Some sex workers like to build this mental hierarchy of whore-iness based on how much fluid you exchange with someone else, and fetish porn was like this limbo where you could sell sex for money without getting penetrated by a penis. This stereotype managed to permeate even my proud pervert bubble, although less in a shame way and more in a "ew gross" kind of way. I will pause here, so those of you who know me can have a good laugh!
For about 3 years I was largely (yes there were a few exceptions) strange-penis-penetration free. It was actually deciding to do The Training of O, which required full sex, that motivated me to reconsider. Once I made the decision I didn't even wait for TTOO to happen. My first full sex scenes were with Derrick Pierce ( Fucked and Bound) and Mark Davis ( Sex and Submission)...both of which were entirely pleasant experiences. So pleasant I was forced to examine my pre-conceived notions on why a self-proclaimed cockwhore had avoided the situation for so long.
Frankly I was a dumb ass, because due to my uninformed bias I missed the last bubble of gold in vanilla porn. The good old days back when people were less educated about the internet and pirating movies still required effort and a risk of computer viruses. Before HD digital cameras were so accessible anyone could make a porno and the talent pool grew exponentially. The stigma for doing porn is still significant, but when you grow up watching Girls Gone Wild infomercials it doesn't seem so foreign.
Porn, particularly mainstream, is like a dying beast. Almost every movie can be illegally downloaded within days of release. 8 years of Republican politics stirred up even more stringent 2257 record keeping regulations and rabid obscenity cases that pushed a lot of smaller productions out of business. The crisis has now been downgraded from nuclear meltdown to just a general pain in the ass thanks to a Democrat in office and years of (continuing) legal battles which have fine tuned the rules, making them a bit more manageable.
Unfortunately nothing can solve the strangle hold credit card companies like Visa have on the nuts of all producers. They decide (seemingly on a daily whim) what types of content they will process payments for, and if you don't like it you can just not use them. Which let's face it, isn't really an option. I have serious respect for small independent producers (like Maggie and Ned at Meet the Mayhems) who are choosing to face the discrimination to make porn they love, even though "low volume" accounts will probably always get the short end of the stick.
Now when someone tests postive for HIV, whether it be a false positive or an accurate result, there is no centralized way to follow the tree of partners for retesting, making the mandatory moratoriums on shooting longer and the trails muddy. The Free Speech Coalition is trying to rectify that with APHSS (Adult Performer Health and Safety Services), but outside of LA their participating facilities can't keep up with the 24 hour turn around time the industry is used to.
Now we have AHF's mandatory condoms in porn initiatives which started in the city of Los Angeles, the vanilla porn mecca, but if they have a say will continue throughout the country. First they got enough signatures to force the city of LA to hold a special election on the issue, but the city council decided it was easier to pass the law on its own than spend 4 million dollars on the election process.
Now the city is scrambling to figrure out a practical way to enforce the law. Especially since it is techinically tied in to obtaining a film permit, which the majority of companies don't even apply for. Oh and it currently only applies within the city of Los Angeles while a majority of movies are shot in the San Fernando Valley, part of the greater LA area. A conservative agenda and deep pockets get you far in America, especially in a battle against an already maligned group, so I expect this issue to haunt the industry for quite a while. I personally have mixed feelings on the issue, but I can promise you AHF should have nothing to do with it.
All of this means making money producing smut is not the sure bet it once was. As a performer, less jobs overall and an endless talent supply have made it more important than ever to hustle hard. After a year of vanilla porn I'm already frustrated at the lack of control over my own appearance, chafing at the LA porn stereotype I will never quite fit into.
The main goal for 2012 is less traveling for shoots, more private professional BDSM. Starting to think every time I get comfortable with my work routine I get bored and rebellious! I'm not retiring from porn in the slightest, but after 7 years of earning all my money romancing producers and members, I'm excited to incorporate a little off-camera time that's on my own terms. I think I might be developing control issues! Should be interesting...

My newest movie POV Junkie 5, directed by Vince Vouyer, goes on sale tomorrow, April 18th! This is definitely one of my top 2 favorite anal movies out there at the moment. My scene was beautifully shot with lots of gaping and ass to mouth. Vince and I had electric chemistry that had me giving up all my holes in true filthy whore fashion. He is a master at shooting POV scenes without comprimising on positions or intensity.
"Blonde-haired, blue-eyed, all-natural Cherry Torn is a soft spoken dirty mouthed little anal slut! In her words, "there is not much I won't put in my mouth". Cherry takes the cock in all holes in true Porn Star fashion, taking ass-to-mouths from the anal pile driver, not to mention trading spaces from her pussy to her ass. Cherry is a true porn slut, hands down!"
See the trailer or buy the DVD at Gamelink. See all my available movies.

Travel Blog - 12/29/11 - MDW to SFO
Sometimes knowledge is power, but sometimes it's just plain sad. Currently on a Southwest flight, heading home from my 10 day Christmas "vacation" to South Carolina. I booked it with the many reward points I've accrued from my back and forth porno trips to LA (thanks porn!). I only had to pay the TSA $10, so I can't complain too much about the 4 hour layover and 2+ hour delay. I just made the mistake of asking the flight attendant how much time we have left, and let's just say it ain't good! 1 bloody mary, 2 grand marniers & a Sam Adams Winter Lager at Chicago Midway...now 2 tiny airplane bloody marys later I'm somewhere between drunk and a headache.
I spent the first hour of limbo browsing aiport stores, Fossil in particular, drooling over the leather purses (~$200, still too redneck for that) and belts. I can't help that even though I love animals, the wife and I have 3 rescue cats for fucks sake, nothing really compares to the smell and feel of real leather. Am I right pervs? I also eat meat on a daily basis and live in San Francisco, so I'm no stranger to the guilt and I've seen the nauseating documentaries. But god forbid you mention sniffing a purse on Twitter or some judgemental asshole will inform you that "supporting the cruelty of animals" and somehow even having kinky sex makes you a republican. Such a dirty word since I wouldn't even call myself a democrat.
As a gay loving, bisexual porn whore who's as liberal as they come the whole idiotic argument was baffling and a hilarious way to pass an hour in the airport bar. The rant is edited for length and censored for privacy although you can see the full extent of the silliness on my Twitter. 
Ultimately it got me to thinking about the kind of bullshit you have to put up with as an adult performer. This is not a complaint by the way, just an observation. Granted this guy had a stance, just no manners and 100% confidence in his ability to sum me up in one comment, but it's just one example of the myriad of ways the vitriol trickles in from every avenue online.
2nd example of the day, the bootylicious (but definitely not lesbian) performer Sinn Sage who mostly works with women got this comment.
Everyone has their preferences, but the intensity is so unnecessary and random. Not to mention the fact she constantly talks about fucking the shit out of her boyfriend. Or that it's not the first time the same person has made dickish comments. It bores them to tears yet they can't look away or shut up.
It's hard enough to be a woman with opinions, but taking unashamed control of your sexuality is such a threat to some men. There will always be a certain subset of porn consumer that lashes out at performers, because they don't know what to do with their guilt over jerking it to whores. Maybe they just get off on being mean or they want to show the dumb sluts how smart they are, but doing webcam shows you hear it all. Standing up for yourself while kissing enough ass to keep some man from harassing you online is tricky business. It's the same all over the internet I guess, there's always a hater waiting to complain, and you can never please everyone.
For a better example than I could ever conjure up, head over to Billy Watson's blog IShootPorn.com for amazing examples of emails from paying members of the huge interracial site Blacks on Blondes (where giant black cocks drill all your favorite porn hos, and yes you can find me there). They are fucking fascinating gems;
"there must be a real shortage of women for your monkeys because there are always more men than women in your shots. Get a job losers.".
And I purposefully picked the most mundane, it gets pretty disgusting, and yet they are paying for it. I can't help but wonder if people deciding they know you after less than 140 characters or paying to essentially complain is unique to the porn world or not. Guessing it's the same for any public "personality", but sometimes you're stranded drunk in an airport for 6 hours and you lose your nice filter for a second, oops!
To all the fans who appreciate the dirty movies you pay for and see the holes getting fucked (and the cocks filling them) as real people who deserve respect, you're the fucking best. You are why I do porn.

I've been selling myself on the Internet for almost 7 years now. In my humble opinion the constant criticism is way more crazy making than blowing 5 dudes at once. It takes about a year before you truly grasp the extent of the maintenance required to keep a ho together. Here's a taste:
- General skin care and exfoliating everywhere the camera can see, so...everywhere. This step is vital to avoid pizza face from the heavy makeup, ingrown hairs and razor rash.
- Eyebrow waxes and shaving (legs, pussy and armpits). Don't forget the asshole girls, it's all connected. Somehow you need to do this every day while keeping your skin clear. #1 reason you hear "fuck HD" on sets.
- Tanning. Either beds a couple times a week or slathering it on right before a shoot. Reapply every 5 showers. Expect to shower 2-3 times per shoot day, sometimes more. I don't care how much you like pale skin, everyone benefits from a little bit of color on camera.
- Nails. You can have acrylics and never properly open a soda can or start a roll of tape without help OR go natural and repaint your nails for every shoot. Feet should be scrubbed, filed and painted to match.
- And then there's the hair. Extensions are vital for mainstream porn unless you have luscious Asian hair. Bleach, tone, extend, cut, repeat, MAINTAIN. If you want to stray outside the norm be prepared to listen to complaints and lose work.
- Every piercing or tattoo you get loses you money.
- If you do a BDSM shoot you're (ideally) required to show up with no marks, but be ready for complaints if you don't want to leave with any. For mainstream you have to worry about even accidental I-bumped-into-the-coffee-table bruises, scrapes, cuts and faint scars.
- Remember that if you show up to set with a zit on your ass, trailer park roots or a terrible outfit it will be on the internet forever. Seriously forever.
- It's standard operating procedure to douche with water before a scene. Then there's the enema process which is just a whole other kettle of fish. If you're performing on your period, shove a cosmetic sponge up your snatch and keep going.
If you manage the above you will have created the perfect blank canvas for the 15+ step makeup routine plus the hour of blowdryers & flat irons. When all is said and done every agent, director, model, PA and viewer will have an opinion. They will be given to your face, behind your back, posted in the comments of all your videos, emailed to you daily and discussed on forums.
In addition to the general criticism I think every performer has that 1 polarizing attribute, be it hair/makeup/piercings/tattoos. For me it's always been my hair. From red to blonde to pink then black, blonde, short, long...I change it often and never hear the end of it. All the opposing opinions can drive you nuts, but somehow you have to block all that out and be yourself because that is how you keep your sense of self and sanity in this industry.
For the record, this is not a complaint. I developed a thick skin to go with my rhino butt years ago. It's just an observation on what it's like being "public property" and earning your livelihood based on how thoroughly you exfoliate your crotch.
As I piece myself together before every trip I'm reminded what it's like to do all of this and still be too fat, too pale, too alt, and too tattooed for some people. More than anything I'm reminded just how little time is spent on the actual touching of genitalia. This is all I'm thinking about every time I get that "How do I get into porn?" email. Lesson one, embrace your inner Barbie.

It's been 24 hours since I was publicly disgraced in front of a crowd of people in a San Francisco bar. At the last minute Mr. Pete was replaced by Mark Davis, who I've worked with many times. I was not complaining because it definitely came in handy to be familiar with his habits once the overwhelming crowd factor kicked in.
I had drinks thrown in my face and dumped all over me. Bar slime spread from head to toe after crawling around on the floor. Which reminds me I still need to scrape the last of it from my toenails. I don't know if my throat is more sore from deep throating cock or begging the crowd and screaming. I've been taking pictures of my bruised knees all day. Even the very tip top of my head hurts and I can't even tell you why.
Here's a little pre and post photo op:  My outfit was pretty epic. I almost made my skirt disappear.
 My legs at the very end. My face looked very similar after the first 15 minutes.
 I love trashy, bruised knees almost more than anything.
 Bar slimey toenails
 Dirty knees.
The shoot will eventually be on Public Disgrace. In the meantime you can find the one lonely action shot of Mark Davis and the (seriously) painfully hot Akira Raine (also on Burning Angel, did I mention this girl is H-O-T?) trying to stuff both their cocks in my mouth at once on Karen Sin's Tumblr.

If there's one kink site I've wanted to do but haven't had the chance it's Public Disgrace. At the same time I've been a guest (Catrina Cummings) / decoration model (Melanie Monroe) / fluffer (Sasha Yung) at many and I am scared people! Always, always nervous before every shoot but it's a little more terrifying when you know you're about to be humiliated in a bar in front of strangers...or worse yet your friends.
My pussy is very happy that Mr. Pete will be the pro dick on hand. He was my first DP, back in my fledgling boy-girl sex days. I know he'll fuck me until I'm horny enough to do just about anything. The big day is tomorrow (probably today by the time you read this). I'm getting the whore nails refreshed as we speak. Wish me luck!

Here's an excerpt out of my travel journal for April 26th 2011:
Trying to decide if 2 giant black cocks will fit inside me at once is a lot harder than it sounds. It's a pretty important question since I have no desire to book something I can't pull off and if I hurry I can even switch them out.
The cocks belong to Flash Brown and Rico Strong, 2 serious chocolate weapons! I sent out messages to the ho network for a good size comparison and description of hardness (that counts for so much in the giant dick game). Sarah Shevon and Violet Monroe my go-to butt sluts have almost convinced me to do it. I mean I have to 1up the Everything Butt scene with Mark Davis right?
As an aside this scene is for Billy Watson, who directs for Blacks on Blondes, Manojobs, & Gloryhole. He also writes one of my favorite blogs, "I Shoot Porn". I fucking love the way he captures the casual filthiness that sets porn people apart, always toeing the line of gross. I've had him in my blogroll for years so working with him is a real milestone for me. This is the closest I've gotten to fangirl excited! I don't want my ass to disappoint. Torn!
In the end I surrendered and asked for replacement cocks. I got nervous because it was the very first scene of a very, very long trip (I got 5 loads of cum just the first day). Of course Billy's counter offer was a straight vag scene with 2 even bigger cocks!  Shane Diesel and Jack Napier bang Tweety Valentine
 Shane Diesel is by far the fattest cock I've had in my pussy.
 Shane Diesel and Jack Napier
 Shane Diesel
 My sexy outfit before Shane and Jack destroyed my pussy. I already had 3 loads of cum that morning.
Somehow my poor little pussy made it through my brutal 3way with Shane Diesel and Jack Napier. There was a lot of squealing, but it didn't hold me back from the 3 guy interracial DP later on in the week. I will give you the heads up once it goes live on Blacks on Blondes. In the meantime my dirty talking handjob scene is already up on Manojobs.

After rehashing my milk enema I got to thinking about anal. Since I decided to start doing mainstream porn I made up my mind to take it in the ass as often as I could possibly fit into my schedule. This month I have at least 4 anal scenes, not a crazy amount for some, but significant for me.
Butt sex in most kinky movies is really only necessary if you're super into it. The anal bonus isn't that much, so if the cost benefit analysis doesn't come out in anal's favor, why do it! Now there's more of a reason. It's hard to be successful in mainstream porn without taking it in the butt like a champ, so I'm gonna do it! So far it's going better than I expected.
It's less the anal itself and more the preparation that keeps me from doing it more. I'm just not one of those girls that can do a couple dispoable enemas 30 minutes before a scene. Ain't no freakin way. Butt sex adds 2 hours to my morning routine.
In the old days...and hell up into the once a week, pre Upper Floor days anal was a source of stress, because I just never felt confident my ass was clean. I never gave myself enough time and I just didn't know my system's patterns.
(I don't know why I'm going here but I am. I didn't find out about the makeup sponge during your period trick for years and it would have saved me a lot of problems.)
If I have one tip for having a clean ass for 8-10 hours it's doing enemas over time. And not eating. I guess that's 2 tips! Some girls go really far and stop eating at like 5pm the day before like they're going in for a colonoscopy. I'm too much of a fatty to do that, so I just eat normal, take 2 anti-diahhrrhea pills the night before and avoid anything solid the day of the shoot.
The morning of I wash down more Immodium with a big cup of coffee to get everything else moving. I use disposable fleet enema bottles you can buy at the drug store, replacing the laxative solution with clean water (please god replace the solution with water). I used to swear by the anal douche, but mine is too hard to squeeze with one hand and resulted in weird pretzel like contortions. Recently I tried the shower nozzle attachment at January Seraph's and there's really nothing quite like it. Must investigate one of those for myself.
I flush my ass over and over until it SEEMS like it's clean, then shower or do my hair/makeup and hopefully smoke a cigarette. I'm not a big smoker, but it really is a true test of ass cleanliness. I've learned over the years that my ass will ALWAYS try to fake me out. I just have to wait. Hence the need for time and more flushing. I'm beginning to realize that if I'm truly clean I will feel kind of nauseous and light headed. Even when it's clean the ass needs a little more time to get rid of all the water.
After all that I'm usually good to go. But even that milk enema wasn't totally white. Yes there's a picture on Society SM. Do you have a secret for a squeaky clean butt?
I'm heading to LA tonight so James Deen can rail my ass for Burning Angel. Won't forget the enema bottles this time!

After my previous post about OKCupid, Scarlet Faux linked me to an article about dating as a sex worker. I honestly don't know what it is to date as anything BUT a sex worker. On top of that I'm constantly reminded how being active in the BDSM community effects my experience. Growing up a perv I think you get used to the idea of being different. It may not be an easy journey, but at some point you embrace your weird (or lose your fucking mind). Being involved in BDSM events is like practice for porn, you get comfortable being naked around others and fucking while people watch or even jerk off. Maybe you swing. Being a slut is glorified and the lack of shame and guilt is amazing. Whore isn't a dirty word.
My recent mainstream experiences have made me wonder what it would be like as a "normal" person in porn. Even if the naked fucking on camera didn't bother you, how do you reconcile the sheer volume of dick and the marketing language? Not to mention your family having potentially no warning of your impending "shame". My mom's known way too clearly that I'm a little off since that unfortunate computer snooping incident when I was 16, porn almost seemed like a positive step to her. I mean what if your friends didn't think it was totally awesome that you humiliated your "husband" while getting railed by big black cock? Or spent a year getting a little "slave training". It boggles the mind.
"Lying to your date about what you do for a living—and keeping the charade up for years. Dates who expect you to be wild and kinky, when you just want gentle, romantic lovemaking. Dates who assume you have an STI, even though you get tested more than anyone you know."
In my experience, if you lie heavily about being in the business you probably won't last. Or you'll have some kind of spectacular outing. Or you'll go fucking crazy. Guilt is a funny thing.
I still love to be wild and kinky, but asking me to pull out all the stops is the fastest way to make me decide just how into you I am. If it feels like work at all, I'll never be back. The longer I'm in the industry the more I only want toe curling, amazing sex and hopefully that sex is not preceded by an awkward, slightly accusatory STD talk. I don't drag my ass to AIM in Oakland every month because it's fun or convenient, so I would love to know how often the average joe gets around to it. These assumptions are just expected stereotypes that every sex worker faces all the time, even without fucking entering the picture. Then you have to explain why you're covered in bruises...
I can't help but wonder what these boys expect of me. My first date was so polite I didn't touch him once and as a fuck-first-ask-questions-later type I hardly knew what to make of it. I'm so used to dom guys that take the lead I'm still learning how to fuck different. Luckily I went back for seconds, because it was definitely worth it. He's the the first non-industry person I've seen in years, an interesting complement to the convenient coworker bang that is my norm. Variety is the spice of life and what do you know I have a whole new pool of coworkers now. It's amazing what you can rustle up if you just whack the bushes a little.
