Girlvert: A Porno Memoir

Product Information

But the interesting thing here is throughout the authors recounting of her experiences in porno, she very much expresses that she was in charge, the power lay with her, she made all of the decisions. And yet as you read it, you realise how much this young woman has been raped and abused and forced into things. The most interesting aspect is something that I observe quite often. It is entitlement among those that other people are entitled against. Ignorant people look down at porn actresses. This is wrong. But Ashley Blue, a hardcore porn actress herself, looks down and degrades prostitutes numerous times in this book. She views them as barely human at all. I thought that‘s quite weird since she should know best how bad it is to be confronted by prejudices and contempt. OS/AB The merits of extreme porn are higher than any other kind of porn. I was definitely the right girl in the right place when I was doing it all the time. It’s more entertaining. We are just a facet of entertainment. Harder and weirder just impresses me more. But that is just my opinion. I am not trying to force that on anyone else, because it is wrong to do that. I have respect for other people’s interests. OS/AB I am all about this book. I will be traveling to promote Girlvert. Recording the audio version right now, so Girlvert will be a book on tape! Then I’m planning to do some podcasts of my own. Writing another book. Will be putting together a graphic novel. And continuously making, showing and selling artwork.

So, how much is Ashley Blue worth at the age of 42 years old? Ashley Blue’s income source is mostly from being a successful Former. She is from United States. We have estimated The book starts with the chapter ‘Modelling and Recreational Sex’, where Oriana Rene Small mentions how she entered into this industry after trying various jobs. She wanted to be a model, and she went for an interview following the ad in a classified section of the Los Angeles Daily News. Oriana was rejected due to her short height, which I have mentioned above in this article and the search for the next offer, she landed herself on Van Nuys Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. Oriana reflects the male dominance in this industry, where they were forced to use drugs to perform the sex.

Oriana Small is a big talent as a writer. And one of great charm as well. And it is unusual (for me) to find great charm in the world of Porn. Nevertheless "Girlvert" is a journey into the heart of the valley (San Fernando Valley to be exact), the headquarters that is everything Porn. Dive into the chapters to know more and discover the life of Oriana Small and how she earned her name ‘Ashley Blue.’ Girlvert: A Porno Memoir (Anniversary Edition) For her "Girvert" film series, she sees herself as more as a performance artist. Small has no regrets for the life she had lived (and still does in a sense by working with her talented porn director/photographer Dave Naz) because she sees it as an unique life experience. This is not a book of woe, but more of a personal journey into an unique and very specialized world. Porn, in general is boring, but when you have a character you care about or find interesting, or at times the way it's shot, it is something else above the average viewing of bodies mixing together. The actual story being told in GIRLVERT is pretty brutal. I don't watch porn but for some reason I like to read porn memoirs. I erroneously thought that this book was a more feminist take on the porn industry. I was wrong as hell. The author specializes in super hardcore pornography that sounds degrading and physically and emotionally painful. I struggled to understand how a woman could perpetuate the intensely negative view of women that her films exemplify. Small says it's acting out rape or violence against women as fantasy, as if that somehow justifies portraying characters who are abused so egregiously, but I know there have to be people who take that subject matter at face value. People who think all women like being handled roughly and demeaned in every way possible. It scares me. I've always been very liberal regarding porn, and people who want to work in the sex industry. Everybody has the right to choose what to do with their bodies.

AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene (Video) – The Violation of Audrey Hollander (with Audrey Hollander, Gia Paloma, Tyla Wynn, Brodi, & Kelly Kline) [15] OS/AB I’m too fat to work for Max. I think he has a certain type of girl that fit best in his starring roles, and I am not quite up to par. But if he would agree to be in a Girlvert… that is a different story… He is a crazy performing artist! I love watching him and that’s really all I need to call him a performance artist. It’s not like studying hard and being a lawyer or doctor. Oriana Small's (aka Ashley Blue) personal life already looked like a porn movie -- filled with multiple partners, double penetration, bukkake, and cream pies, she was the girl willing to do anything sexually and never say "stop, that's too much." She started doing porn on a lark, she needed money to go to a music festival. Oriana/Ashley talks plainly about the sex, the drugs, betrayals and humiliation. More to the point, the sex and drugs are part of the armor, the humiliation and extremes part of her identity. The book's title refers to a series of porn movies of the same title, where she plays both perpetrator, forcing young girls to extreme sexual acts against their will, and victim. Neuman, Joshua.

However, the overall gut punch of the book is undeniable. This is a woman who has, in the darkest times of her life, been in one of the darkest and most frightening communities in the country and she managed to come out the other side a stronger, balanced person.

Andersson, Acme (June 7, 2004). "Adam Film World 2003 Award Winners Announced". Adult Video News . Retrieved February 12, 2014. Ashley Blue is an American radio personality, writer, and former pornographic actress. She was born on 8 July, 1981 in California, United States. She is 39 years old. And therein lies the greater problem. I think the narrator does not have enough self reflection to make this story worth more than the sum of its parts. It occasionally dips into the past, psychological reasoning, ethical dilemmas, or philosophical quandaries about pornography, however, too often these come as asides or rhetorical questions asked in the dark. Oriana has a lot of trauma to deal with as well as a lot of joy, but all I got out of it was an endless stream of drugs and disappointment. Additionally, the character portrays herself very passively throughout, asserting most of the decisions were made by men in her life. While this may be accurate, it takes a way both personal responsibility, but more so, an active protagonist. I have read a great deal on torture, and even people who spend years of their life dominated by others finds ways to perceive themselves as actors in their own lives. Oriana entered the adult entertainment industry in 2002 when she was twenty-one years old. Oriana Rene Small, professionally known as Ashley Blue, has worked for ten years in the industry from 2002 – to 2013. She has featured in more than 380 films and also directed seventeen titles. Not particularly good writing, no emotional connection or insight but worth a read if you're interested in the facts of the life of a hardcore porn actress.
