of a lot more and a hell of a lot more honestly and openly<br />
than we do now. Start to look at the fact that strict genderrole<br />
differentiation hurts people, doesn’t help people, doesn’t<br />
allow for men or women to achieve their best qualities and<br />
makes us feel like we’re separate species, which we’re not,<br />
even though we’re trained to act like it. Start providing kids<br />
with space to be sexual and good sex educa tion. Throw a<br />
lot more money at sexually transmitted disease-eradication<br />
research than is being thrown now. In the meantime, make<br />
free condoms available everywhere. Make sex okay, make it<br />
a cultural priority.<br />
Ann More<br />
What were you told was your job? ~ I was told that I was<br />
there to entertain men and to do what I wanted to do.<br />
Now it’s been proven to me that<br />
anything with tits and a cunt can do<br />
anything to a man.<br />
Were you told that the men masturbate? ~ I was not told.<br />
I must have fig ured it out as soon as I got onstage. [Laughs.]<br />
As a matter of fact, as I watch other people get hired, it<br />
seems to me like it’s something that’s totally avoided. Women<br />
seem to be really shocked. [Laughs.] Management is kind<br />
of igno rant, so I think they just assume you know, or it’s just<br />
part of the game now. Personally, I had no idea. People beat<br />
off—that’s what happens.<br />
What sexual depictions do you perform? ~ [Laughs.]<br />
None! God, I don’t do anything now. I dance. I’ll bend over.<br />
I play with my breasts, over and over and over again. I just<br />
move around. I’m more concerned about how far I can stretch<br />
my leg, how much I can suck my stomach in, where my cellulite<br />
is. I’m not worried about the customers or showing them<br />
anything. They might catch a glimpse of my labia, since I have<br />
a gold ring there. I’ll play with that, but it’s not for them—I’m<br />
looking at it. To bend over, to me, is basi cally an insult. But<br />
[laughs] they love it.<br />
Do you test your power to arouse? ~ Not any longer. I did<br />
the first year and a half. It was a trip. You want to see what<br />
you can do, and now it’s been proven to me that anything<br />
with tits and a cunt can do anything to a man. [Laughs.] I<br />
know they’re desperate to get attention from me because<br />
I have no pants on. So there’s no test. They walked in the<br />
door—I won. [Laughs.]<br />
How much of your performance is you and your sexuality<br />
and how much is persona? ~ Basically, it is me. I am basically<br />
a negative, cold, non-sexual person. I think the world<br />
has been overloaded with all of it. I wish there were somewhere<br />
else to go, but unfortunately, there’s no other world.<br />
Well, as far as my sexuality goes, the relationship I’m in now<br />
is wonderful. I’m very sex ual with this person. That is very<br />
important to me because [laughs] my last relationship was<br />
very asexual. Nothing was happening. I saw cock all day and<br />
then went home to another ignorant cock.<br />
Is there competition among the dancers onstage? ~ No,<br />
not at all.<br />
Is the myth of the perfect body perpetuated here? ~<br />
[Laughs.] No, not in this theater. [Laughs.] It’s funny because<br />
I give myself a little credit or pride for trying to take care of<br />
myself and having one of the better, in-shape bodies there,<br />
and it doesn’t matter. What matters is who has their legs<br />
open, who is sticking their asshole in some man’s nose.<br />
[Laughs.] Who has tits hanging to their knees, who has the<br />
biggest is what it’s all about. Whoever’s giving<br />
a man attention is what it’s all about. If you’re<br />
anorexic, and you’re looking at him, spreading<br />
your cheeks, then you’re it to him. You’re<br />
like a wallflower unless you are showing him<br />
your pussy, which is what he came to see. [Laughs.] I mean,<br />
please! [Laughs.]<br />
Do you ever become aroused by what you are doing and<br />
what is happening around you onstage? ~ I remember<br />
three times, in the first year, when I was in heat right before<br />
my period, where I actually did get horny being with a pathetic<br />
man, using my power [laughs] and watching how he<br />
could just gawk and be so desperate. I just beat off and forgot<br />
about it. But it had nothing to do with them, you know what I<br />
mean? But now, nothing. [Laughs.]<br />
Do you ever have sexual fantasies during your performance?<br />
~ I have murder fantasies. Nothing sexual ever goes<br />
through my mind. Except maybe that I can’t wait to go home<br />
and make love with my man, because this is so disgusting.<br />
I was quite surprised when I first heard that healing occurs<br />
here, women healing themselves, each other, and<br />
customers. Describe what you know about this. ~ I don’t<br />
know what you’re talking about. This is news to me. [Laughs.]<br />
Healing? What are we talking—sexual, mental, physical healing?<br />
What are we talking about?<br />
Describe the customers. ~ I have to find vocabulary—“pathetic”<br />
is getting old. They’re like strays. It reminds me of being<br />
at the Humane Society and seeing a bunch of dogs in the<br />
kennel. But these you don’t want to take home. These are the<br />
ones that you want to send away to be destroyed. Which is<br />
not fair to say, because you don’t know them. But they’re all<br />
so desperate, and they come there expecting so much. For a<br />
quarter, they expect a fucking prostitute. [Laughs.]<br />
