Every few months an article comes across my desk (or desktop or phone or whatever) talking about either how porn has become increasingly mainstream or how it has become increasingly democratic, or how this isn’t your Daddy’s porn anymore because things have changed (My Daddy’s porn was frustratingly either non existent or impossibly well hidden.  This was a real issue in the days before the internet, at 13 you didn’t have a lot of options and there was just nothing in my house, trust me, I looked).  Without fail mentioned in these articles are either or both Stoya and James Deen.  It makes sense, too, because Stoya is ridiculously articulate about all manner of things including the realities of the porn industry.  Her tumblr can be a fascinating read if you’ve never checked it out, she is a gifted and thoughtful writer.  Also, if your world is tumblr centric you would think this power couple of porn to be among the most famous people in the universe.  Due to the nature of who is on tumblr a large number of my followers are teenage girls.  A lot of them when I have checked out their blog have Stoya on their dash.  It is a little mind blowing because I didn’t even know the names of any porn stars when I was a teenager and I certainly didn’t know a girl alive who would have pasted pictures of male or female porn stars on their locker doors.  So maybe it is more mainstream.  Or maybe it isn’t.  Maybe it’s cyclical, you can find a lot of writing about how mainstream porn was becoming from the 70’s also but the VCR cured that pretty well.  I don’t know, mainly Stoya is here because I have been thinking about it, and about the implications of porn and you know, it isn’t black and white.  But that’s what makes her writing so interesting, she is aware of that.  I still am not sure where I stand to be honest but she is pretty and she is thoughtful and she is intelligent and it means she’s one of the rare porn stars to ever show up here.  Today I want to fuck Stoya.
