On straight sets, I could never tell anyone, “I had a threesome with two dudes last night for $800.” Directors will even tell me to clean up my Twitter feed because they don’t want to see diaper play and some of the other fetish stuff I do. (Of course, for the most part, nobody has a stigma about cis girls having sex with cis girls.) Also, girl-on-girl scenes with trans girls and cis girls. I’d say the definition of a female crossover performer is a woman who has a threesome with two guys who have a gay dynamic. Vixen did shoot me for a scene, on recommendation, but I had to shoot with a woman I know who is also a crossover performer.
Every now and then, I’ll get booked by a bigger company, usually as one of the guys in a three-way or group scene. If I hadn’t had sex with any trans women or guys, my career would have taken off more quickly, especially now that I’m doing vanilla stuff. The agents will fire some of their girls just for being in a scene with me, because of a stigma that says crossover performers have a higher chance of transmitting AIDS. As a career, it’s the worst move I could have made, but I didn’t enter the industry for money, even though it’s now my main source of income. The people who decide what a “crossover” means are the agents. I like having sex with guys, but I don’t want to date them. I shot my first gay porn scene last year, after I’d already had experience off-camera. I don’t identify as gay, but I do gay porn and have fun doing stuff with guy friends off-camera too. When it comes to sexual orientation, I don’t like identifying as anything. I have to tell my friends, “I’m not fetishizing you, I like you.” A lot of trans women are concerned about being fetishized, so because of the porn I’ve done, they think my interest is just a fetish. Now, that’s basically who I’m looking for in a relationship. That was an awesome scene, and my first experience with a trans woman. But at the same time, I just like femininity, so I was open to anything. When I applied, I was banking on doing a femme domme scene with a cis domme.

was the first professional website to hire me. Tony Orlando, 28, Las Vegas: I began modeling for fetish photography in San Francisco about eight years ago. Here’s what they told me… “If I hadn’t had sex with any trans women or guys, my career would have taken off more quickly, especially now that I’m doing vanilla stuff.” To better understand life on both “sides” of porn - and how such performers deal with the stigma that even in 2019, some in the industry still consider them bad for business - I sought out three different crossover stars.

“The unfortunate thing is that unsafe practices from untested partners outside of the industry is the real point of vulnerability within the industry, not ‘crossovers,’” explains Lotus Lain, the industry relations coordinator at the Free Speech Coalition. For them, the industry can be confining, judgmental and, worse yet, stigmatizing - largely because of the myth that they’re potential carriers of HIV due to the fact that they’re having sex with men and trans women on camera. This, however, isn’t always the case for male crossover performers who shoot straight scenes in addition to gay scenes, bisexual scenes, pegging scenes and scenes with trans women. For many performers, the adult industry is an incomparable space to explore their sexuality and desires.
