I was a NYC prostitute and porn star for twenty years; then I morphed into an artist and sexologist. I have passionately explored sexuality for over forty years, sharing my experiences through making my own unique brand of feminist sex films, writing books and articles, visual art making, creating theater performances, and teaching. I have consistently championed sex worker rights and health care and was one of the pivotal players of the Sex Positive Movement of the 1980s. I got my BFA at the School of Visual Arts in NYC and was the first porn star to earn a Ph.D.. I’m a popular lecturer whose work is studied in many colleges and Universities.

“It is a well-documented fact that pornography as a separate category did not exist until the nine-tenth century, when lawmakers throughout Europe ostensibly sought to protect a predominantly white, middle-class female population from sexually explicit material and - by extension - knowledge of their own sexuality.”
Annie Sprinkle, Hardcore from the Heart: The Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex in Performance

“We are ALL sexually abused by virtue of the fact that we live in a sex-negative society.”
Annie Sprinkle, Hardcore from the Heart: The Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex in Performance

“Pornography is like a mirror through which we can take a look at ourselves. And sometimes what we see doesn't look pretty, and it can make us feel very uncomfortable. But how beautiful to take that look, to see (truth), and to learn. The answer to bad porn is not no porn, but to make better porn!”
Annie Sprinkle , Hardcore from the Heart: The Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex in Performance
