For porn stars, “coming out” is a process that never ends.

To the uninitiated, the idea of a career in the adult film industry may come with stigma that porn performers and sex workers have long fought to shake off. For many, that fight begins with one awkward conversation.

When Coming Out Like a Porn Star was first published in 2015, it garnered cult status as an anthology of candidly intimate essays by diverse adult industry professionals and icons, relating the pain, pride, and surprises that accompanied their experiences coming out about their work.

Edited by veteran industry professional Jiz Lee, and featuring a chapter by VendettaVerse star Bella Vendetta.  This book also features incredible coming out stories from many well known pornstars

Awards and Reviews

“Best Thought Leadership” Winner of the 2021 BEST SEX AWARDS!

“A manifesto, a reclamation by Lee of the role of porn as a positive artistic form.” ―Salon

“These intimate, often funny, deftly expressed accounts are told from a range of generations, genders, and races, and include personal experiences from the late feminist porn pioneer Candida Royalle, legends Nina Hartley and Annie Sprinkle, and sexuality bloggers Conner Habib and Stoya.” —The New Inquiry

“Reveals the fascinating, funny, and sometimes brutal stories of performers in the adult entertainment business.” —Dazed

“[Coming Out Like a Porn Star] seeks to share an honest portrait of porn.” —VICE

“Lee’s collection of essays offers a nuanced, heartfelt, and incredibly honest look at what it means to come to terms with a highly public, incredibly sexual identity within the bounds of one’s private life.” ―Lux Alptraum, former editor/publisher, Fleshbot.com

“This revealing, moving, and often surprising collection lets you go deep inside the lives of generations of porn stars and explicit performers. It’s an absolute must-read for anyone interested in sex industry politics, sex-positive culture, and porn studies––and for anyone whose friend, lover, or family member has taken their pants off in front of a camera. One after the other, these memoirs add up to a powerful, if ironic, conclusion: Porn stigma is the biggest problem many adult performers face, and it is at least as likely to come from our feminist moms as from prudish conservatives. Once you’ve heard the clear, articulate voices of these porn stars, you’ll never look at a sex movie, or the people who make it happen, the same way again.”
