Lorelei Lei interview - if anybody doubts porn babes have brains Lorelei Lei was one of the female stars, along with Annette Schwartz, of the Milk Nymphos scene that was one of the 2 scenes and a video trailer that were at the center of John Stagliano's trial. This is an interview she did after the case was thrown out - smart woman: http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movie..._lee_stagliano_trial | |

Its ludicrous that it even went to court.. clever girl and an excellent article. Hopefully this will all go full circle and will be a positive thing for producers. x Mistress Kent xx http://www.mistresskent.com http://www.mistresskent.co.uk | |

I like the beginning of her answer to the last question, about how many would view what she does in porn as degrading and what her thoughts were. Her response was right on, in my opinion: 'Well, I've had very few experiences on porn sets that I would classify as "degrading." I've had infinitely more degrading experiences as a waitress or a barista in a chain coffeeshop than I've ever had on set. That, of course, has everything to do with working conditions and nothing to do with what I'm actually doing as my job.' I always get a kick how the porn-haters with the degradation-and-dehumanization-of-women argument seem to never want to direct their anger and energy towards things in society that truly degrade and dehumanize women, such as low wage, long hour jobs; pitiful health and child care options for working mothers; continued 'reforms' of welfare; not to mention a country that happily and proudly maintains most of its patriarchal systems while barely batting an eye. It so easy to pick on a classic target, like porn, as a victimizer of women everywhere without addressing much greater problems that affect a far larger number of people and in a far more negative manner. Gee, maybe these prudish assholes don't really care about women or free speech or different expressions of human sexuality at all, maybe they just have a hidden agenda about protecting the supposed 'morals' and 'values' of we the sheep--uh, I mean people!

I think this is very true. The right-wing anti-porn brigade wants social control more than anything else, so they don't want people doing anything that's going to involve playing and thinking about social roles. The left-wing anti-porn brigade is knee-jerk in their response, they don't investigate much, they're intellectually lazy on the subject and they wind up being dupes of the right-wing anti-porn brigade, when it comes right down to it. | |

http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movie..._lee_stagliano_trial Lorelei Lei is extremely impressive as a writer. If she has that kind of ability on a spontaneous basis, she could make a powerful lawyer or speaker. | |

I now have an interest in seeing her videos. I never knew of her before, but she is a credit to the industry. | |

If anyone wants to find out a little more about Lorelei (and read some of her writing/storytelling), here you go: http://therumpus.net/2009/02/an-oral-history-of-kink/ And as far as I can find, she's actually going to NYU for creative writing. | |

That makes her sound thoroughly screwed up from day one! I guess that's why I don't like knowing too much about the starlets out there; do a little digging and you can easily find a vast amount of dysfunction and depression. Though admittedly some were well raised and are well adjusted and happy in their adult lives, many are not.  Hope she's doing better now, maybe her statement from a few years ago--"Porn was an incredibly therapuetic thing for me."--will be true again one day. It's certainly therapeutic for me!

I didn't get that impression at all. To me, it sounds like she is saying she had a very unhappy childhood, and that that continued until she was into her late teens and early twenties. But she also sounds like she is really taking control of her life, and that she is a highly intelligent, self-aware person: "I’m an adult now and I make these choices because I’m doing what’s best for me. It’s not because I’m programmed by some trauma, it’s because I’m doing the best I can to make my life the best it can be." She's going to college, evidently to get a degree to help herself get a better job. Her blog, writing, letters, email, whatever --if actually honest and not fake, made-up bullshit -- could easily be put together into a book, that might have decent sales. And like I said before, this seems to be an intelligent, capable person who could be a lawyer or speaker. I've only read her one email, and this one other piece by her, but she really impresses me with her honesty and intelligence and the clarity of her thoughts. | |
