How long have you been watching pornography?
"Since I was underage. About 13. I don't know if you would have called it pornography, but it was then. Magazines, soft-core, rated-R movies with nudity."

What interested you in it?
"I could see naked people."

What do you think you learned from pornography? "How to get skinny. No, just kidding. You see what's beautiful. You learn to enjoy yourself (well, you always enjoy yourself), but you see people, and it just makes you more creative. Nowadays, I'm into really hardcore, disgusting, disturbing shit. I like a lot of degrading stuff, but I like a lot of features too, stuff with stories."

Stuff that's degrading to men or women or both? "Both. I don't know, name calling and stuff. It's hot. It's so hot when people are calling each other names."

Do you ever act like a porn star?
Let's just say "I leave the high heels on."

How often do you watch porn?
"I probably watch porn once a week. I watch it alone or with girlfriends. I can't watch it with a guy 'cause it's too weird. Probably because if I watch it with a guy he's going to try to get all over me and stuff. And I'm like, dude, go away, I'm trying to watch TV. So I'd rather watch porn alone with girlfriends and then file that away in the memory bank and then do that on a guy later."

What do you say to women who think that porn is degrading and don't want to watch it? "They're watching the wrong stuff. If more women would just watch more things, they would see what they like. Guys want to watch porn with women so badly that if the girl initiates it he won't think anything less of her. He's going to love her more."
