This Sunday, December 9, I’ll be taking to Facebook Live to read more from my memoir, Watching Porn! This time, I’ll be reading “Chapter 7: The Conflicted Existence of the Female Porn Writer,” where I’ll tell you about the column I wrote for McSweeney’s. In that column, I finally got to ask all the questions I had about the porn industry. And, at last, I started to get some answers. And I also had to bite the bullet and tell my parents about what I’d been up to for the past few years. Yikes.
Along the way, I’ll have a few quotes from industry insiders Tim Von Swine, Buck Angel, and Christopher Zeischegg (formerly known as Danny Wylde), along with a great photo of me interviewing the amazing Nina Hartley. (Not the one above! A different one!)
And after the reading is over, I’ll have a live Q&A with viewers where we can talk about coming out to our parents. So far the only thing I’ve come out to mine about is my porn writing, and… It went… okay…? I’d love to hear about your own experiences! So join me this Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. MST (that’s 3:00 Eastern, noon Pacific). We’ll have some tea, talk about porn, and dish about family trauma!
