I just posted the latest edition to my Ethical Pornographer column. This month I interviewed Athena Hollow of Geek Girls Online. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Athena for many years now and have been working with her a little more closely lately on some projects. She’s a smart, cool lady and a mom. And no, I will never get tired of using this image of her masturbating in a Harry Potter costume while I watch in a coffee shop.
Here’s a snippet:
GJ: How does raising a daughter influence your work in pornography and how do you plan on teaching her about what you do?
AH: It actually hasn’t changed my job, other than not being able to shoot content during the day while she is awake. I absolutely plan on teaching her what I do. I don’t hide it from anyone. I don’t necessarily throw it out during an introductory meeting, but if someone asks, I tell them. She’s only 4 and she has an idea of what mommy does for a living. She wakes up randomly when I am camming, and asks if I’m on cam when I walk by her room in my work clothes. She doesn’t exactly know what that entails, per say, but she does have a basic idea at least.
