In my ongoing quest for something resembling clarity on the issue, I went to feminist porn star and director — yes, those mythical creatures do exist — Madison Young. The fiery-haired 30-year-old describes herself as a “sexual revolutionary” (indeed, she started San Francisco’s Femina Potens Art Gallery, which targets those “living outside the female-male gender binary”) and “one of the world’s kinkiest feminists.” I talked to her by e-mail about responsible pornography, condoms as a fantasy-killer and whether it’s safe to have crossover between the gay and straight sides of the industry .
I first met Madison Young when we performed together on the same bill at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco. I was immediately struck by the wonderful mass of contradictions. Smart but humble. Cute but fierce. Physical but articulate. Frankly, everything you’d want in a porn star.

Smart but humble. Cute but fierce. Physical but articulate. Frankly, everything you’d want in a porn star. I’ve been following her career ever since. I was so happy when she took her revolutionary ideas of sexuality and began directing, creating filmed sex that’s the next step in the evolution of erotic filmmaking. She has a new memoir out called Daddy. So I thought I’d sit down and pick her brain about sex, movies, writing, and yes, Daddy.
