Annie Sprinkle's Herstory of Porn

Annie welcomes us to the "intimate film diary" of her years making porn.  This clip starts in 1973, when Annie was 18 and her first film was "Teenage Deviate". Her early porn years are highlighted with many short clips from dozens of different films, with Annie playing virgins, swingers, detectives, teenage career girls and so much more.

Annie shows clips from her fetish and fantasy films, where she explores the bizarre, the kinky, and the taboo.

Annie tells us about making a porno movie of her very own: "Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle". This very popular movie was one of the first of a new genre--pornography made by women.

"Rites of Passion" was written, directed, and edited by Annie in 1984. This artistic, autobigraphical, erotic movie tells the story of Annie's discovery of ancient tantra sexual yoga techniques leading to deeply spiritual experiences through sex. The special effects are particularly stellar.

In response to the devastation and death of the AIDS crisis, Annie founded Pornographers Promoting Safer Sex.  All of her movies from then on show only hot, wild, educational safer sex.

Annie's films move into the artistic, experimental, avant-garde and political realms in the 90's with art porn, "Linda, Les & Annie", and "Sluts and Goddesses".

Annie shares an experience of medibation--meditative masturbation--and of a crygasm in this clip, filmed in nature by House o' Chicks.

Annie creates a training film to help all of us make our own erotic videos:  "Pornography Made Easy".  In it, we follow the making of her film, "Teenage Mermaid Fanta-sea."
