I Shoot Porn: So what’s your damage?

Charlotte Vale: I don’t do drugs. I drink socially, but that’s about it. And I remember my childhood being very happy.

ISP: What the hell are you doing porn?

CV: I want damage! But the fun kind, I guess.

ISP: Define “fun damage”.

CV: I guess I’m no so much expressing my sexuality through porn as much as exploring it. There are a lot of things I’ve never tried, and a lot of things I find exciting that would be really hard to try in real life.

ISP: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done without a camera rolling?

CV: I was at a swinger’s party, not expecting to have a great time. I ended up cumming three times, without anyone touching me. That’s pretty crazy to me!

ISP: How did you cum then?

CV: Someone was massaging my legs, but there was no other stimulation. I couldn’t tell you how I came, so I guess an orgasm is more in the mind than physical aspects.

ISP: What did you want to be when you were growing up?

CV: A ballerina. Then I wanted to be an actress. Then I went through a 1/4 life crisis, and my plan changed every few days…everything from Librarian to training seeing eye dogs. I eventually landed in accounting, for about a year.

ISP: An accountant! Wow! That’s exciting!

CV: It was for me! I like details and numbers.

ISP: How many scenes have you shot so far?

CV: Around 7.

ISP: You’re a total newb!

CV: Unless you count the Kink.com stuff. A lot of that isn’t sex.

ISP: What is it?

CV: Being suspended with ropes. Flogged. Clamps. Electric play. Forced orgasms with The Hitachi.

ISP: Hitachis are fucking bad ass.

CV: They are. I’m just scared of becoming dependent on it.

ISP: Name a sex act I can’t hire you for.

CV: Uhhh. Uh. (To herself) — a sex act you can’t hire me for…

ISP: Can I pee in your mouth?

CV: I haven’t done that yet. Maybe. We’d have to negotiate the rate. I won’t do scat!

ISP: Would you do a bukakke? Like a 50 man bukakke?

CV: Um. I’d rather not.

ISP: That means you will some day.

CV: No comment.

ISP: Do you have a myspace?

CV: Yes, but there’s not much going on there yet.

ISP: How come you love to show your tits off? Every time I see you, you’re wearing a very low cut, sexy top.

CV: I think my tits are pretty.

ISP: I do, too.

(Glen the make-up artist chimes in): They’re free agents! They like to go out by themselves!

Glen The Make-up Artist: Do you think not being a blonde, big-boobed pornstar has its advantages?

CV: I do! I think that it’s nice to see somebody who’s 100% natural. If there’s a blonde, big-boobed natural pornstar, I’d find that hot. But I don’t like the concept that to be appealing in porn you have to change yourself in order to fit a certain image. That there’s only one way to have sex…or be beautiful.

ISP: Does pornography exploit women?

CV: I think it can, but that’s up to the particular woman.

ISP: So do you feel exploited by porn?

CV: No, but that was one of my biggest fears going into it. I didn’t want to be a part of an industry that I felt exploited women, but I think if it’s real, and a girl is living a fantasy, and they’re doing it cause they want to be there, and they’re taking advantage of an industry instead of letting it take advantage of them, then it’s not exploitative at all.

ISP: That’s a pretty good answer. How educated are you?

CV: I have a bachelor’s in Theater.

ISP: What the fuck do you do with a bachelor’s in theater? It’s a lot like mine in English.

CV: I know. I wanted to be an actress, and part-way through I decided I didn’t want that as a career.

ISP: But you are an actress! Now let’s jump in the van and head out to the secret gloryhole I just found last week!

CV: As long as you don’t exploit me!
