Twenty Questions with Hardcore Star Lydia Black

"For most of my life, my parents sent me to a Catholic private school, but in ninth grade, I got kicked out so I could finally go to public school. Once I was there, I definitely feel into the crowd of queer kids. I had a few boyfriends but most were older, I had lots of girlfriends! I went to prom with my girlfriend, she was the first girl at our school to wear a suit. We looked amazing, stayed for three songs and then left with all our queer friends to dance on the beach at night instead."

"I was always into BDSM porn. I used to watch old videos of Matt Williams on Kink and Insex. I was a fan of Dee Williams when she was known as Darling. People like Joanna Angel, Sasha Grey and Dita Von Teese were always role models for me."

"I have three favorite kinds of scenes to shoot. I love shooting weird queer or trans porn that pushed the boundaries, like the crazy bi shoot I have done with double anal or when two trans girls put their dicks in my ass at the same time. I love doing BDSM scenes where there doesn't even necessarily have to be any sex but I get to push my body in new ways. And of course I love doing gangbangs, having all the attention on me and being like a fuck princess for a day!"

"I want to do a major feature, where I get to really play a role and get into a story. I love that a lot of the porn I've gotten to do is real and me, but I would love to get lost in someone else's script and play a character."

"I love working with Natalie Mars. She is a close friend and we share a lot of the same kinks and turn-ons. As for men my favorite performer to work with has been Nathan Bronson, he's so sweet and we have a killer connection when the camera is on."

"I love talking with them! My favorite kind of message to get from fans is when they tell me I turned them on to a new kink or opened up something new for them in a relationship because of my work."

"I tell people that I've been a sex worker since the day I turned 18. I was already in college and some of my friends were on this website where you could sell sexy picture sets or videos to people for extra cash, so I signed up for it as well. I didn't know it was sex work, nor was I planning at the time to go from there to porn but it made me feel sexy and empowered, plus it helped pay the bills since I was in college, and an unpaid intern. From there, I connected with other BDSM sex workers and started doing BDSM/fetish porn and now here I am today."

"When I decided to do mainstream porn, my goal was always to eventually have my own site and bring more educational, consensual BDSM to mainstream porn. Porn has gotten more and more rough, and that's how I love sex but how can we be showing how to do this safely as well as still, well, selling masturbation material , LOL?"

"Spend a lot of time getting to know your own body, but also make sure you know how to communicate what you've learned about your own body to someone else."

"I love having a safe and loving place to explore my sexuality and my sexual desires, I am so lucky to have an amazing sex worker family around me. I love being able to share what I know about my sexuality with other people and I truly love bringing others sexual fantasies to life."

"My fans would love to see me on a DVD full of anal, ass eating and hot threesomes."

"For fun, I love to go on hikes. Living in Vegas, I have so much amazing nature around me, canyons, rivers, mountains, hot springs! I am a hobby taxidermist so that is also fun to do in my free time, but when I'm feeling lazy, I always love to spend a day inside playing video games and watching anime."

"My current favorite fetish to explore on camera is definitely pet play, I love being a puppy and a piggy!"

"My current role models in porn are Anna de Ville and Kristen Scott. They have both made a huge impression and changed the game in different perspectives, Anna moving to Europe and making it her home, changing the anal game and now signing a directorial contract. Kristen is making beautiful queer porn, writing scripts for amazing full length features and now directing as well."

"This is a tough one since there haven't been tons of movies this year but I've been re watching my favorite movie The Favourite recently."

"I have subscribed to Cameron Damage's OnlyFans and I have been loving the at home things he has been shooting, lots of hot fantasy stuff and creative social distance aka sexting porn, it's been really inspiring."

"I'm about to release some amazing content I made recently with Michael Vegas and Siouxsie Q. it's an amazing train of pegging, I've got a monster strap-on in Michael's ass, Siouxsie Q. has a huge strap-on in my ass, and Michael manages to get a ton of huge toys in my ass."

"Ashnikko! She's my girl crush right now and she is my favorite pop star."

"I would tell them to make sure to be making content for themselves, especially in COVID times."

"I would love to thank my fans so much for all the support they give me and go keep telling me what they wanna see me do, who they want to see me work with and to keep requesting me on their favorite sites."
