Interview: Porn Performer Sadie West

July 14, 2011

To know Sadie West is truly to experience an enigma. The girl has an exceptionally deep voice and her rumbling laugh will drop to a whisper, unexpectedly. She is an outrageously attractive woman with full natural lips, huge green eyes, deep olive skin, and dark hair. Her breasts are real as is her round, full bubble butt.

Beneath this outwardly goddess-like woman is the little girl that I knew and grew up with. This rowdy tomboy stole my underwear and hung it on the clothesline for her brothers to see at the family barbecue. As kids we would play hide-and-seek late at night on the deserted high school campus, where we would often hide in the drainage sewer. We would spend afternoons at the public pool, Sadie speaking loudly in an English accent, yelling “bloody fuck!” off the high dive. When the new neighbors moved in next door to her parents’ house, she had them thinking she was an adopted British kid for at least a week.

jizlee_3808 — Jiz Lee, shot by Courtney Trouble for KarmaPervs.com

I agonized over the title of this piece for a little too long. I came up with about a dozen puns involving the name Jiz, but they all came out far too nasty-sounding for such a classy and upstanding media outlet as Tits and Sass. So, without further ado and no dirty puns, meet genderqueer porn star Jiz Lee.

June is a busy month for Jiz (man, this is all still sounding raunchy, isn’t it?), who is performing this weekend at OP Magazine‘s Trans March after party and Courtney Trouble’s annual pride party, Queerly Beloved, on Pride Sunday. You can get another hot load of Jiz next week, as the co-curator of This Is What I Want, an art show all about the intersection of sex and performance. The festival features a few other San Francisco sex worker superstars, like Michelle Tea, and is a part of the larger National Queer Arts Festival.

Jiz also just finished shooting (ohhh, yeah!) in Cheryl Dunye’s upcoming film, Mommy is Coming, and an engagement with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens at their Ecosexual Symposium last week. If you’ll miss the star in person, you can get some more Jiz all up in your face at the site KarmaPervs.com, described as a “philanthropic porn fundraiser,” full of hot exclusive photos all in the name of charity.

best-dad-clipart — Clip art of a gay-for-pay hooker/dad. Obviously! Thanks ClipArtHeaven.com.

The struggling single mom is a common cliche in our industry, but meeting men who choose sex work to support their families is pretty uncommon. Father’s Day is this weekend, so I figured it was time to give sex worker daddies, however few there may be, their due respect.

“Randall” is a gay-for-pay sex worker and a single dad, working and raising a junior high age daughter in California. He chatted with me about his work and what it’s like raising a kid when your lifestyle’s a bit on the unconventional side.

So what do you do exactly?

My jobs are somewhat similar to what you would imagine a dominatrix does. I looked it up once, a Dominatrix is actually, technically, a female. So I suppose I am a “Dominator”, but that gender distinction would be lost and sound really silly in an advertisement, huh? I also never wear the leather outfits or use any of the other cliche props that pop culture shows dominatrices employing. I just roll up a newspaper when it’s time for a spanking. I have some other clients that I guess you could say I give the “Boyfriend Experience” to, but it’s quite a bit different from my female colleagues. I am a straight guy and I market myself that way. Being straight serves as a “forbidden fruit” sort of selling tool, and also protects me from the issues so many female sex workers tell me they deal with—like the ubiquitous delusional client thinking I’m going to fall in love and run away with him. And many clients tell me I am one of the few genuinely straight guys in this niche market. I have been honing my craft for almost eight years now and have been topping my way to the top ever since.

Talking Dirty with Tonya Jone Miller

I was flipping through BUST magazine last month when I came across a story about a Portland-based phone sex operator who makes all sorts of cash talking about food fetishes. Impressed and intrigued, the first thing that came to my mind was my all-time favorite South Park episode where Stan’s dad gets caught jerking off while watching the Food Network late at night. After his wife blocks the channel, he starts calling the Food Network hotline and talks to a sultry-voiced woman about deglazing and how moist the pan roasted chicken is. So when I heard about Tonya Jone Miller, I was beyond thrilled to think that conversations like this really happen in the non-animated world, and that a real live woman might be getting rich bringing foodie fantasies to life.
To my disappointment, Tonya tells me that the food fetish thing isn’t super-common but was a fun angle for the story, which appeared in BUST’s food issue. She is, however, a successful, full-time indie phone sex operator with plenty to say about her business.

In light of the recent murders of Long Island sex workers, vigilante justice group New York Initiative has been getting attention for their offers to protect and rescue sex workers in need, all while wearing superhero costumes. Their Craigslist post, beginning with a somewhat creepy and condescending “Hello, pretty lady!”, gives some obvious safety advice (“make sure a friend knows where you’re going”), and then offers their own services as “rescue team,” should a client get out of hand.
