“So who are the most famous porn stars you know?”, I asked a group of friends.

“Paris Hilton.”

“That 16 year old porn star who licked a toilet bowl clean”

“Anwar Ibrahim”

Today, let me share with you some of my favourite porn stars.

Asia Carrera

I think my ‘first love’ in the porn world would probably be Asia Carrera, a fact that should reveal my age just a little bit.

One might think that I was attracted by the fact that she has an IQ of 156 (which I am told is high?), played piano performances at Carnegie Hall twice before she was 15, or that she is a geek who writes her own html.

One would be mistaken. I was drawn to her because she gave kick ass sex performances, and because she’s really pretty.

I think that’s my main criteria to make me a fan – kick ass performances. Where women are concerned, the ability to look like she’s vigorously and thoroughly in the throes of uncontrollable passion is easily my number one determinant of a porn star’s awesomeness.

Of course, I have a soft spot for the really pretty ones too – but I suppose that’s altogether more subjective.

Asia has led an interesting life, and is probably one of the very first blogs I started reading – long predating many famous bloggers of today. I’ll leave you to read her life story, blog and (self hard coded) website.

Maybe it was because she was one of the first pretty porn stars I got to know (that half-Asian half-white thing – always a killer), but I do recall refreshing performances, a pretty smile and more than a hint of a disarming personality.

Asia has long retired from porn, and now spends most of her time raising her two beautiful kids in some kampung somewhere. Her blog and the stories of how she has coped since her husband passed away in a car accident are written in a way which seems to exude a certain sincerity – she seems to come across as someone who cares genuinely, and someone you would be drawn to care about.

Strange? Read her blog, and tell me yourself how it makes you feel.

Chasey Lain

Staying within this generation of stars, there are some girls I like mostly because they’re just really pretty. Racquel Darrian is a name worth mentioning as is Sunset Thomas in Michael Ninn’s Latex.

Perhaps the most gorgeous I have ever come across however is the incomparable Chasey Lain. Some sites have her listed as being of Dutch, French, Cherokee & English heritage, and it certainly looks it.

Captivating eyes you’d love to get lost in, coupled with enthusiastic, deeply felt performances make her an enduring winner – always one of the top few to come to mind.

Other beauties from this era include the striking Janine and a lesser known Ashley Rain. Jenna Jameson is easily the most recognisable name from this – and some would argue – any era. I might be slightly of the opinion that she’s a little overrated as a porn star per se, but there’s no doubting some of her accomplishments off screen.

As far as interesting porn stars of this generation go, I suppose it would be remiss of me not to mention Annabel Chong, from far closer to home. Her work and life story certainly make for compelling reading.

Rocco

Before we go into the female stars of today (I wish), let’s take a quick break to talk about some of the men in the industry.

Early famous ones include the tragic John Holmes, and Ron Jeremy, whose future was much more pleasant and who still continues to make appearances in the odd film here and there.

There are some slightly lesser known stars whose performances I think deserve mention. I like Erik Everhard (yep), who seems to always be a good looking, affable, guy next door with a sweet smile who is always up for energetically fucking your brains out.

Pierre Woodman is a French director with a tummy and no hair, but still seems to illicit some rather excited responses from his female co-stars with remarkable consistency. Another actor/director Jake Malone specialises in decidedly more rough stuff, and brings ‘ravaging’ women to whole new levels.

From the Vivid/Wicked/Adam&Eve houses that churn out more ‘couples’ oriented porn, some mainstays include the likes of Evan Stone (real fun guy), Steven St. Croix, Brad Armstrong and Randy Spears, who’ve had to do enough ‘plot’ scenes to possibly have gotten mildly good at it. At the very least they seem to garner some enjoyment from trying to play their roles well, often managing some decent comedic ability along the way.

If there was an undisputed porn king, I’d have to guess it’d be Rocco Siffredi. I think I would characterise the way this man fucks as… inspiring. The pleasure he both elicits and derives (by, and this is important, any means necessary) reflect a dedication to the art, and a true devotion to depravity. If all men fucked like that, all I can say is that the world would probably be a happier place, or a ‘nastier’ one, to borrow one of his favourite catch phrases.

Sasha Grey

Back now, to contemporary female porn stars. Some lookers worth mentioning include Tera Patrick and Tori Black – beauts both, the latter of which is also quite an exciting performer I reckon.

I have also enjoyed the sultry work of Jenna Haze, who plays the slut to perfection. In the arena of rougher sex, you would do well to check out the work of Annette Schwartz and Bobbi Starr (both of whom have had sizzling collaborations with the afore mentioned Jake Malone in the excellent Fuck Slaves series).

While there are a few standouts like Katja Kean, Europe seems to churn out more quantity than particular stars. There are a steady flow of very pretty, often very leggy women though, who under the direction of the likes of Pierre Woodman give extremely convincing performances.

Coming down to the more famous personalities, another near household name is the truly gorgeous Maria Ozawa aka Miyabi. The Japanese/French-Canadien mix works the magic you would expect, and this young lady seems perfectly willing to let go of all inhibitions in front of the camera.

A product of the Japanese porn industry, her performances aren’t really quite the same as what viewers more used to Western “standards”. Nonetheless, her work remains quite natural and moany, though let’s face it, even if it wasn’t, who wouldn’t get off watching a pretty face like that getting fucked proper.

Of the famous stars of today, I think I most appreciate the work of Sasha Grey (who, it turns out, was the person mistakenly described as the toilet licking 16 year old). Quite an exotic beauty in her own right, Sasha has given some performances that have a vein popping intensity. When this girl gets down to fuck, she lets out all the stops and the result is a sight to behold.

Even in an industry where everyone is more or less trying for the same effect, the gusto with which Sasha takes to cock is still often heads and shoulders above the rest. I think Sasha Grey is the only person for whom I have a multi gigabyte ‘megapack’ downloading.

Two performances in particular stand out in my memory. Her work overall in Throat: A Cautionary Tale is exemplary, and I remember a scene with Evan Stone that exemplifies some of her best. There’s also a group scene in Fashionistas 2, which is some of the best fucking with wild abandon I’ve seen – and if you know how much porn I’ve watched, this is not a compliment you might take lightly.

There, go start downloading. What are you waiting for?

  1. suze randall, cytherea,yummy yum..noor sayang…boys will always be boys….LOL.

  2. Necessary. People have to be aware of porn stars who have been fighting for rights, health and safe – but the author did not highlight much.

    Sasha Grey has a great brain behind and she's the reason I started reading existentialism materials.

  3. @Noor – I found your question charming and rather dainty too. Now that Porn Week has fizzled out, I suppose we can ask ourself a larger question – one posed by none other than the late great humorist James Thurber – IS SEX NECESSARY? (pls click on the link to read my response! :-)

  4. Yeah Sasha Grey is hot and wild. Another lovely slut will be Hillary Scott. My current crush is Mia Lina. O_o
