Interview with a Porn Star (#46) — Ryder Skye

Ryder Skye

I Shoot Porn: I don’t know much about you. So tell me more.

Ryder Skye: Tell you more! What do you want to know? There’s so much!

ISP: The obvious.

RS: I’m from LA. I won’t tell you how old I am. I’ve been in porn for about a year and a half.

ISP: What was your segue into porn?

RS: I was an executive assistant and I was bored. Miserable. I started dancing at a bikini bar. Cheetah’s.

ISP: Hey! That’s right by my new house!

RS: I started dancing at night, then started doing some modeling on the weekends. I wanted to build a portfolio, so I did a lot of trade with photographers. That turned into topless, and then I discovered The Suicide Girls. I started submitting photos to them. I did two sets, but they didn’t take them. But I found out I was OK to be naked in front of the camera.

ISP: So what was your first porn shoot?

RS: New Sensations. It was a solo.

ISP: No, what your first porn shoot?

RS: I only did solo and girls for the first 3 months. My first boy/girl scene was actually an interracial scene with a penis that was way too large for me.

ISP: Today’s scene for Blacks on Blondes will feature you…and an unusually large wiener.

RS: Well, I’m unusually small. There’s not a lot of room down there.

ISP: Here’s a fan question: Who is your favorite dick to suck on set?

RS: I don’t like dropping names. I don’t wanna give anyone an ego. They already have big enough egos as it is.

ISP: What is your worst porno experience?

RS: I worked with this one guy who asked me what his “no’s” were, just so he could tell me his.

ISP: What are your no’s?

RS: No fingering. No pounding. Fuck…there’s one more. I can’t think of what it is. I just can’t have a guy pound me. And I hate when guys finger me. Men and women. They just don’t know how to do it!

ISP: I do.

RS: I really don’t have many “no’s”.

ISP: How long has your longest porn shoot been?

RS: Sixteen hours. I do a lot of features.

ISP: What the fuck takes sixteen hours?

RS: Dialog. Sex scenes. They do more than one sex scenes in a day, and if you’re a lead, you’re needed sporadically throughout the day.

ISP: What do you do on the set to pass the time?

RS: Homework. I’m a student.

ISP: What are you studying?

RS: My major is Gender and Women’s Studies with a minor in Human Sexuality. I’m going to get licensed for marriage counseling and sex therapy. I’m also a pro-sex feminist and an advocate for animal rights.

ISP: What did you want to be when you were in high school?

RS: An actress. I trained for 10 years. I’m back at it, too.

ISP: What’s your favorite role?

RS: I dunno. I like doing sit com.

ISP: Do you think porno’s gonna help your acting career?

RS: No no. It’s killing me. It already has.

ISP: Example.

RS: It’s very difficult to find an agent and/or a manager when they find out you’re in porn, which is ridiculous, cause every single actress out there, with the exception of a few, have whored themselves out. The casting couch is really prominent. Just a couple months ago it happened to me.

ISP: Tell me about your mainstream casting couch experience.

RS: It wasn’t for a specific job, it was for representation. He was a manager. He knew I’m in porn, and he said he didn’t care that I was in porn, and that he was fascinated by me being in porn. I told me the casting couch is almost non-existent in porn, and he replied that it’s huge in mainstream. It’s funny, too, cause he was making it sound bad…

ISP: And then he propositioned you.

RS: Yep. What a fucking douche. A total waste of time.

ISP: Did I mention that if you blow me right now I can get you a ton of work?

RS: (laughs) Um…No, it’s cool.

ISP: Do you ever feel exploited making dirty movies?

RS: Hell no. I don’t understand. How can I be exploited if I have full control over my career and my life and the choices I make? An expression of sexuality should never be taken as exploitation. It’s a double standard for women…and that’s why it’s such a big deal.

ISP: Well put! Anything to close with?

RS: Check out my official site! Ryder Skye.com!

  1. 16 hours! Egads…

    I’m surprised you didn’t ask this budding scholar about the Chomsky thing (or about the Wendy McElroy thing), but it seems you alluded to it. She seems pretty cool. Now what does she sound like?
