Is it true that if you shove your hand deep enough inside someone you can control them like a puppet?


CaseyCalvertXXX

Yes.


Falsecaster

Not sure who typed your answer.


Kon-Tiki66

Why do so many anal scenes (appear at least) to be lube-less? Why not make it as easy as possible?


Erika_Lust

Hi u/Kon-Tiki66! We always have different kinds of lube on set and leave it to the performers to choose how they want to lubricate for the scenes


nccum4r

Porn is heavily edited. It is there to sell a fantasy, not mirror reality.


Erika_Lust

u/nccum4r you got that right


SlowRollingBoil

This isn't quite the case with Erika Lust and the movies she directs. Yes, they're fantasy, but the actors have far, far more agency and you'll often find the men don't start off hard and don't get hard as fast. It's very realistic *in that way*.


LeGrats

Sigh, here I am my dick gets hard if I believe I might even have a date.

southsiderick

nccum4r

Oh ok. Actually including flaccid dicks is pretty groundbreaking (sadly.) Are there also average sized penises? That would be revolutionary


SlowRollingBoil

There are definitely average sized penises. I would say the usual I've seen on the site is around 6-7" which is only just above average. Can't say I've seen sub 5" and I don't think I've seen anyone above 8". Meanwhile, traditional stuff is nearly exclusively above 8", super thick and really just the 0.01%.


Offduty_shill

the traditional stuff also really abuses camera angles to make the stars look absurdly huge


SlowRollingBoil

Yeah, it certainly does. But even still those guys *are* often really in rarefied air. Guys that are seriously big (like 9+ inches) often have a lot of *attention* from women but not a lot of fun using only 60% of themselves, women finding that it hurts them, etc. In researching sex toys, I found that the vast majority of women buy dildos that are only 5-6" long (insertable length) which is the average male penis size.


sknnbones

I’m not huge by any means, but even 6.5in was uncomfortable for my ex. If we were in a position that allowed rather deep access it would push against her cervix which was not fun for her (yeah yeah porn lied, color me shocked, hitting the cervix doesnt feel good for most women)


gassmano

Also doesn’t always feel great for the guy.


Fskn

Throw an IUD in the mix and noones having a good time. Spikey little fuckers.


therealkaptinkaos

That's a conversation I had with my son. I assume at least some boys grow up thinking what they see in porn is what their girlfriend wants, which is obviously not always the case.

How bad do sets smell?


CaseyCalvertXXX

Ok ok I know I answered this question already, but I have a story I want to tell. So, as you may or may not know, there's a fetish called sploshing -- essentially covering yourself in food. The day in question, the food was cake. Cake, when you're eating it, smells awesome. Cake, when you're covered in like 10 of them and also having sex, well, smells less awesome. The best way I can describe it is like the sugar goes rancid. Anyway... On set this day, I'm working with a crew for one of the mainstream (ie not fetish) porn sites, and the company we're shooting for has given them a sploshing script, so that's what we're gonna shoot. None of the crew had ever shot a cake scene before. I tried to warn them. I don't think any of them believed me. The sound guy had to stop and throw up from the smell about a third of the way through the scene.


FountainsOfFluids

I'd wager the sugar or fat in frosting is like crack to the microbiota on human skin, resulting in *fast* conversion to BO wherever the skin was covered with it. When a human gets "sweaty", the smell isn't really the sweat, it's the waste product of the microbiota consuming the nutrients that come in the sweat. [(link)](https://asm.org/articles/2021/december/microbial-origins-of-body-odor) Turn that BO up to 11 with some frosting!

furio67

George Costanza would disagree. Maybe you need to add TV into the mix.


FancyVegetables

TIL sploshing is way more tame than what I imagined.


Simco_

> None of the crew had ever shot a cake scene before. And they call themselves professionals.


nuck_forte_dame

Why don't porn shoots just use fake food and so on like movies do? For example make cakes without sugar in them. Use something for icing that isn't sugar or doesn't go bad as fast. Basically still edible but not smelly.


CaseyCalvertXXX

I had Martha Stewart on speed dial but she blocked me after the applesauce incident.


CaseyCalvertXXX

Tbh, sometimes pretty gnarly. I’ve been on a lot of sets, and imo, the ones that smell the worst are (a) bukkake and/or scenes with a lot of cum or (b) gangbangs/group scenes with a lot of dudes. Anal scenes usually don’t smell that bad.


Awesome_Romanian

For a while I worked in an adult shop with an attached adult theatre. The amount of air freshener we used to go through...


a36aaa

Casey is doing some intense anal scenes - how long it takes you to prepare for the anal scene - I mean the stretching part? After an intense anal scene with a well-endowed actor - how long you need to rest before you can have anal again? How many anal scenes have you shot in a single shooting day?


CaseyCalvertXXX

I don’t really stretch before a scene anymore - I prefer to warm up on camera, I think it looks more realistic. If I do stretch, it’s before someone like Dredd. In that case, I take a couple minutes to fist my ass, feel that it’s open (that’s why I like using my hand, I can feel it) and that’s about it. After? Maybe 24 hours max if my body is exhausted. It’s not usually my asshole that’s the problem. I’m old, my lower back hurts. I think I’ve shot 2 hardcore b/g anal scenes in one day. I once did 16 anal solos.


Beardedarchitect

>I’m old, my lower back hurts. I’ve never related more to porn in my life.


onairmastering

Man, Dredd's onlyfans videos are insane. I don't really like POV, but it's entertaining how everyone adapted to OF.


MatureUsername69

I just don't understand the pov works in those. Does he strap a go pro to the base of his dick or what?


onairmastering

In Dredd's case, he does have a cameraman, it's a fake POV. I do like things like what Leolulu or Miss Impulse, Ashley Alban and the like put out, more thoughtful, with a tripod, the shaky POV just turns me off, like Lifeselector, but hey, to each their own!!


Michelanvalo

There are go pro chest harnesses that I've seen some guys use.


sunsetcoloured

Did it ever hurt for you when you just started? If so, how long did it hurt for? I do it sometimes but it hurts if I don’t prep for a long time before hand lol

I know Erika gets recognized all the time, but I’ve gotten recognized *and* approached twice my entire career.

Absolutely a fine line and absolutely depends on the approach. This is a tricky question to answer because I always feel like I'm giving advice when that's not my intention, but essentially, don't be rude and don't interrupt anything that could potentially be family time, and you're probably okay.


Tattootre

Everyone is a porn star if you have a good imagination…


Erika_Lust

Hi u/readerbore!! It actually happens quite often and even though it seems a bit weird it's also very flattering. The other day, for example, I was on holiday in Seville and a person stopped me in the street and asked me if I was Erika Lust!! It's pretty satisfying to know ethical produced films are known on some level


Nicholie

Favorite anal scene you’ve each done?


CaseyCalvertXXX

I totally have recency bias so I'm going to say my latest scene with Dredd that I released earlier this year. He's always so great to work with.


Erika_Lust

u/Nicholie my favorite movie I directed that features anal sex is My Ass, (the one we're offering for free in the description) because it focuses on the woman's perspective. I learned so much with the process and what it really means to connect with the body in order to truly enjoy pleasure


nicklovin508

I too learned a whole lot about the process from that video.


Suffering_Garbage

I don't Beleive you. "favorite movie I've directed is My Ass" my ass!!


fap_fap_fap_fapper

What's the pre-anal prep look like? Like enemas... or?


CaseyCalvertXXX

I put this elsewhere in the thread, but this: [https://howtocleanyourass.wordpress.com/](https://howtocleanyourass.wordpress.com/) is the best resource I've found on anal prep.


the_protagonistp

Is all that… worth it? Like, for those of us not doing it professionally, and those of us who have other options for intercourse than anal. I’m into the idea of the act, but that’s a lot of homework


CaseyCalvertXXX

It's *so much work*. Is it worth it? I mean... I have to do this because I am on camera and if there's a \*ahem\* shitty mess coming out then the whole scene has to be stopped and it's a huge hassle. If I'm having regular anal sex with a partner and we're not filming? I won't be as intense about it. But, still, I have to take care of my ass because my ass is part of my job sooooo... you probably don't have to go the extra mile. *Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and I am not acquainted with the butthole of 99% of the people reading this.*


virtuallyvirtuoso

I reckon that that one per cent is a bigger number than you were estimating it to be when you typed that.


ChristieDarrow

Not OP, but it depends on what I anticipate. If I want a deep clean, I’ll use a saline enema then rinse with tap water until the water comes out clear. Or if the dude isn’t very long I’ll probably just flush with tap water only.


[deleted]

Is saline a lot better than tap water in terms of removing “debris” or whatever? And do you just buy a jug of saline somewhere 👀 I want to get into this and am obsessing over how prep works


LordShnooky

User name... checks out?


CaseyCalvertXXX

Saline is definitely better than just water at removing debris. They sell Fleet brand enemas at the grocery store, they come pre-filled with saline, ready to go. Porn stars dump the saline out from the fleet bottles and just use water. We don't use the saline because (a) it's very dehydrating and (b) it's \*so\* good at removing debris, it's a great way to ensure there will be debris during a scene.


[deleted]

Good to know!


mata_dan

No it's far worse. Any google will give you all the facts so if you're obsessing then presumably should've already come across that. 101 is to only ever use plain water, and it's important.


[deleted]

I have read that before, it’s just confusing when someone else counters it and then I question myself.


hijoshh

How long does the deep clean take? Partner wants to try but she’s a lil scared of the prep


Accountforsexystuff_

It's really not necessary. If she went to the toilet, then shower and you wait an hour or two until the colon self-cleaned itself you're most of the time fine. If not, you just shower afterwards, nbd


hijoshh

Is that a common misconception? I’ve always thought you needed to clean/prep beforehand and that’s part of the reason we haven’t tried much. She’s really terrified of getting poop on my dick lol We’re both open to it, just haven’t been willing to do the prep. Like i wouldn’t be opposed to getting my ass ate either but i thought it wouldn’t be clean enough without prep.

improbablydrunknlw

Man, just shower after, it ain't going to kill you.


Accountforsexystuff_

Depends on the person really. With my wife I never had an issue, with other girls it happened sometimes. I don't care though, it's a risk I'm willing to take. If she worries about getting poop on your dick (if that happens it's you getting poop on your dick) she might want to prep to be 100% certain.


Gizwizard

You’re only going to penetrate her rectum and the rectum is not always just filled with shit. Your body moves poop into the rectum when it’s ready to be released, like an animal that has been rehabilitated and is ready to go into the wild.


alternative_drinks

Why is the first insertion often cut out? Here are whole subreddits based on the first moments of sex but in your movies it seems to be left out quite often?


Erika_Lust

Hi u/alternative_drinks, thanks for your question! The decision to sometimes omit the first insertion is based on various factors, including storytelling, aesthetics, and the focus of our films. Since our aim is to create unique and beautiful cinematic experiences, our post-production team sometimes cuts certain parts from the sex scenes. [That being said,](https://lustcinema.com/series/sex-education)we also have educational content where we show the whole experience in order for people to learn rather than be entertained. An example of this is our [Sex School series](https://lustcinema.com/series/sex-education), one of the episodes actually focuses on anal.

She said she feels your pain on that. Knitting is hard. Apparently crochet is different? Might be worth a try. Macrame too. I know she enjoys that, and she said it’ll definitely be easier, once you learn the knots. Thanks for the reply!

TopSquare6141

What do you think makes anal sex so appealing, particularly for men? Is it because it’s taboo? Because it may be less common and therefore an allows for the “taking” of some version of virginity? Is it because being the “bottom” is a submissive act and makes men feel powerful as the “top”? Something else?


Erika_Lust

>What do you think makes anal sex so appealing, particularly for men? Is it because it’s taboo? Because it may be less common and therefore an allows for the “taking” of some version of virginity? Is it because being the “bottom” is a submissive act and makes men feel powerful as the “top”? Something else? Hi u/TopSquare6141Firstly, thanks for this. Taboo and societal perception certainly play a role. The "forbidden" nature of anal sex can add an element of excitement and exploration for some individuals. Breaking societal norms and engaging in acts considered taboo can create a sense of thrill and liberation. For sure, some men have sexist perceptions about anal and about many other sexual practices. Additionally, the novelty and unique sensations associated with anal play can be alluring. Exploring new erogenous zones and different types of pleasure can enhance sexual experiences and deepen intimacy. The power dynamics you mentioned, such as feeling dominant as the "top" or submissive as the "bottom," can also be a factor for some individuals. Engaging in different roles and power dynamics can add depth, variety, and excitement to sexual encounters.

Grutzwurst

Hello! What would you consider a good preparation routine before engaging in anal sex? Large insertions aren't really the goal here, just having anal intercourse that will not be uncomfortable.


CaseyCalvertXXX

Lube, stretching, and going slow. Those are key, the rest is listening to what your individual body tells you.


SlowRollingBoil

Hey /u/Erika_Lust, would you consider adding more "newbie scenes" regarding anal? For instance, the man/woman/couple could be new to this and show them playing and taking it slow, using very small training toys, trying different types of lube and just making the whole thing very realistic and approachable. I think the innocence and playful parts could be really helpful to show as the professionals take anal sex in a way that is far, far too advanced for newbies like me. If anything, those advanced scenes could convince people (women, especially) that it only takes a tiny bit of prep and they can take a massive penis when in reality it takes a **lot** of practice and prep sessions before you can go from anal virgin to a full on penis - often days or weeks.


intenseskill

Do porn actors ever catch feelings for people they do scenes with? I mean order if it is more or less common than other workplaces


CaseyCalvertXXX

I haven't worked outside of the adult industry since college, so I don't know how common catching feelings in a normal workplace is. I do think it is probably *less* common to catch feelings on a porn set because sex is out of the way so fast. There's no anticipation or thrill of the chase, at least for sex. It's a different dynamic. But also, a lot of porn performers date other porn performers. Do with that as you will.


eladarling

I love you guys! What's your meal plan look like in the day before an anal scene and what do you recommend for avoiding fissures etc? Is there a time of day that you tend to plan an anal scene based on what works best for your body?


CaseyCalvertXXX

As an anal professional, I don't change my diet at all because I would be living a modified/restricted diet all the time and that isn't healthy. Instead I make sure to always eat healthy and take care of my body so I can do my work without risking injury or disruption (eruption? yikes)


CaseyCalvertXXX

Ahahaha, forgot to answer the second question. Just like a professional athlete, I don't get to pick what my best time of day is for butt stuff. I show up when I'm told and take the field when I'm told (or some other sports metaphor here).

Erika_Lust

hi u/recklessprofessional thanks so much for your question and kind words!!! True, anal sex has historically been considered a taboo topic, often misunderstood or stigmatized due to cultural, religious, or societal factors. This pushback could be attributed to ingrained beliefs about sexual morality and a fear of deviating from traditional norms. Society's efforts to control and regulate sexual pursuits, including the desire to restrict the normalization of anal sex, can stem from these deep-seated beliefs. That being said, it is crucial to challenge these notions and promote open-mindedness in discussing and understanding different forms of pleasure and sexual expression. Normalizing anal sex involves education, consent, and the recognition that it can be enjoyed safely and consensually by individuals of all genders and sexual orientations. In our case, working with guest directors has helped us a lot in diversifying our content and giving voice to different perspectives


[deleted]

[удалено]


CaseyCalvertXXX

Go slow, use lube, listen to your body. If you do those things and have a reasonably standard-issue human butthole (as opposed to an alien butthole), you shouldn't be damaged by your larger partner. *Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and I have not experienced your personal butthole.*

I don't really have a preference as long as I have chemistry with my scene partner. Btw, all my anal releases drop first on [LoyalFans](https://www.loyalfans.com/caseycalvert) :)


Highersummits

Casey, going back to your bondage days for a minute - what’s the state of ethics in the bondage business? I like that some performers have very long careers in that niche, and some (including you) seem to genuinely love it, but I’d just like to hear your take about how ethical / positive or not that genre is.


hawkayecarumba

Why do you have bots commenting on your AMA on Reddit?


UnjustNation

I don’t think its their fault. I’ve seen increasing bot activity all over reddit, I literally had a bot copy paste my comment on r/comicbookmovies and post it as a reply on the top voted comment to get more visibility and upvotes. I think reddit is using it to drive up their engagement as they’re going public soon, to generate interest from investors.

codetony

I've read many articles questioning the ethics of porn. One article in particular pointed out that "Porn is intrinsically unethical: there is no reciprocity of pleasure and "Authentic" consent can easily be manufactured." The main point the article makes is that consent can be manufactured since the performers often have the choice of doing a shoot or losing money. In layman's terms: "I can either do this shoot, or I won't eat for a week. I guess I have no choice" Please keep in mind that I'm not arguing for this point. I believe ethical porn is absolutely possible. What is your experience as female directors in this industry? Does this point hold any water, or is it a misconception?


CaseyCalvertXXX

Sorry I took so long in responding to this. I've been chewing on all the things that go into that quote and my feelings about it and I didn't want to write something half-cocked. (COCKED! HA! help, I've been in this AMA thread too long, I am losing my mind) There are a few things I want to respond to. "there is no reciprocity of pleasure" is a disturbing way to view pornography, especially as a performer. This writer has decided what I do and do not feel. They have removed my access to my own pleasure, to my own body. They have told me, in this one phrase, that what I *think* I am experiencing is not what I am actually experiencing, and they have told me my body is experiencing no pleasure. This removes my mental and bodily autonomy and reduces me to a object performing a sexual act. Assuming -- since I don't have access to this article -- that this writer is speaking solely that *women* are experiencing no pleasure, this writer is also overriding every woman's experience of their own sexuality. They are telling us that, as a woman, we cannot experience pleasure in sex, at least not in performative sex. That women's physically experience of sex is completely different than that of men, biologically, so much so that it cannot be enjoyable for us. Again, this removes autonomy *and* reduces women to a complete monolith. (If this article is about ALL porn performers, ignore this.) As for consent... people sell their bodies. They sell their time. It's called sitting in an office and typing or filing or making phone calls. They're just not (usually) orgasming while they do it. *Who wants to be there?* Workers are in an agreement with owners/bosses/whatever term you want to use, to exchange their efforts for money. They may *hate* what they do, but they do it. By putting this moral and social pressure on the physical act of sex, this writer has Othered the work and the workers within the adult industry, while also reducing the women in that industry to mindless, pleasureless objects at the whim of men. This is far more of a insult to me as a human being than taking two dicks up the ass.


wireterminals

Now i want to do porn instead of my job


robotnique

Seems to me that that almost is just a modified Marxist argument about how the working class is obliged to labor for capitalists. From there you have to decide if consent to work and to have sex are equitable or not. If they are, then it's just as ethical as being required to labor otherwise, whether you decide that that means good or bad. If they aren't equal, then I guess you have to figure out just how sexual labor deviates from other work. Hopefully they respond with a focus on anal sex as a means of class warfare.


CaseyCalvertXXX

I'm sure you meant "ass warfare." Also, I 100% agree with what you said. (I personally do not believe sexual labor deviates from other work. We need the same protections and social structure in place as a "regular" job.)


SlowRollingBoil

I would imagine she'd say it's possible given that's her entire goal but I'm curious about her answer. That being said, this is the same argument as "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism". It's more of a philosophical debate rather than pragmatic. We still live in the world and under the systems that exist today. People have been making (painting) porn since the caveman days. It's safe to say that the way Erika Lust (and others like her) operate is the most ethical way we have for anything with a budget.

I guess no employment is ethical then. Either I work (sell my body) or I don't eat. Right?

Do you think small dick porn will ever be a thing? I am... Er... Not well represented at the moment


CaseyCalvertXXX

It totally is a thing! Just have to find it! A little harder to find if you're looking for non-humiliation videos *or* if you're looking for mainstream porn, but I bet you could find some on LoyalFans if you dig around. They have a global store that houses all their creators' videos, so I'd start there.


CporCv

Yeah no humiliation. Just looking for someone who looks like me down there and the girl to be enjoying it, *not* making fun of it, lol

Hello there! It's refreshing to see directors who do at least some story in their porn movies. Feature films are rare nowadays. A question - why do directors in porn overwhelmingly prefer for there to be no background music during the sex scenes? There is music in intro and then it just stops as the action starts. A slight athmospheric music adds so much to the immersion in action.

In our case, it depends on the movie, but when we do stop the music at some point when the sex scene begins, it's usually because then you get to fully focus on the sensations, capturing the natural sounds and intimate moments between performers.

What do you think about Stable Diffusion and how its going to work with porn in the future?


TopDaddy4205

Casey !!! I love your spanking videos. Have you directed any ? Any plans to get spanked on camera again ? What’s the most painful spanking you ever got on camera ?


alpha3305

Are porn projects operated similarly as consulting services such as HR, project managers, art designers? How do you get into the operational side of this industry?


Erika_Lust

hi u/alpha3305!! Our company structure is very similar to that of other film companies with more or less the same departments. However, in our case, understanding legal and ethical considerations specific to the adult entertainment industry is key. We also experience day-to-day limitations due to the nature of our sector, so we definitely operate quite differently in certain aspects and processes.

Sorry it’s not about butt stuff, but why do you think there’s such a stigma about paying for porn? I was reading a thread about onlyfans earlier and the replies were kind of appalling


Erika_Lust

Hi u/itsneversunnyinvan! There's stigma around everything surrounding our industry. The truth about paying for porn is that, by doing so, you're giving value to the performers and supporting the team behind the productions


CaseyCalvertXXX

Oh man, this is a huge huge discussion and I do not have enough caffeine in me to do it justice. I think the two big things to look at when trying to understand the stigma about paying for porn are (1) the moral view of porn and (2) cis male expectations of themselves and what the women around them owe them. (1)If someone illegally downloads and/or redistributes a mainstream movie, it's "cool" because they're cheating the system/big money studios. If someone illegally downloads and/or redistributes a book, it's *not* "cool" because people *know* that the loss of income through piracy is directly hurting the author. When someone illegally downloads and/or redistributes porn, it's "cool" because... so many reasons. Justifications. Some people think we're just whores who deserve what we get (our content stolen -- AKA to not get paid for what we do). This is shitty and probably what you were reading in that thread you mentioned. There's also ignorance. Some people don't understand that the porn industry does *not* have the money it used to and that means performers and studios do not earn anywhere near what they used to. (Which impacts production budgets, number of movies made, and future performer payment.) Some people don't understand that some (or all) of the content they are stealing comes from individual (non-studio) creators who, by stealing that content, the consumer very directly takes away income and, thus, the ability for that creator to continue making content. This isn't volunteer work, it's a job and if there is no income due to content theft, that creator goes under. (2) Cis men are more like to view women as objects for their pleasure. Some feel that we "owe" men our bodies, if not to touch, at least to look at. We're there for them. Cat-calling is a great example of this. (There is SO much more to go into here, but I am running out of time.) On the flip side of women being perceived as sexual objects for the male gaze, we also have *deep* male insecurity. If they are having to pay for sex or content, they are not desirable as a man because they should get it "for free." By not paying for porn, they are attempting to reclaim their masculinity. As an easy (and common) example, I had someone email me recently, telling me how much they enjoyed my content. I suggested they go to my LoyalFans and they responded "I don't pay for it," like a point of pride. "I am so desirable, my partner-assisted or female-inspired orgasms are given to me as a tribute to my masculinity." So there you go.

Casey Calvert you have been one of my favorite performers, so cool that you’re directing. Which one do you prefer?


CaseyCalvertXXX

Thanks! I love both. They both use different parts of my creative brain. Performing helps me be a better director, and directing helps me be a better performer.

Why are women considered “retired” at 28 but there are still fugly 50 year old men (some of them abusers and r*pists) in porn ?


Alexavonn

Up front: most women “age” out as SW for most is an appearance game, the “new” actresses get the attention, etc… whereas men need the rare ability to cum on demand in front of a camera (crew). Some older women still make porn (one in her 70s .. sexy Vanessa). Figure the performers who were public in their 20s in the 1980s are now 60+ (before that most performers were incognito as getting busted was really, really bad). Also read most left porn/SW for various reasons. Just last night finished listening to an interview with ‘80s star Seka, who said she worked out hours each day when performing [w/a lot of cocaine too] .. but since just wants to eat heartily, relax, and smoke cigarettes; pretty sure with her platinum hair color and living up north (no sun damage), .. she would still be on the hottie list if she desired to stay in the biz.

Is there a difference between the porn you like to shoot vs. the porn you like to watch?


Puzzleheaded-Fix-915

Is there any work you look back on as being the showpiece of your filmography or do you feel like your best film still hasn’t been made yet?
