The W presents... Vicki Dávila
It's 12:13pm and we have over 700 people connected to our Facebook Live
and at this moment we welcome Amarna Miller...
Porn actress, activist in favour of sex work regulation, feminist, she has worked as a producer and actress...
And we have her here today on the W because she promotes ethical porn. Welcome, Amarna!
Hi Vicky, nice to meet you!
-What are you doing here in Colombia?
I came here to give a speech on the 19th in Medellin, speaking about ethical pornography as you mention and also feminism
inside the AEFest, Festival of Erotic Arts of Colombia.
- People think that porn and ethics... "ethical porn" is a contradiction... What's all about the ethical porn you promote so much?
Well I think it's very interesting when people see a contradiction, because they don't understand that the areas that are mainly owned by the Patriarchy must be reconquered,
pornography included of course, since it's a very sexist environment.
What's ethical porn?
The definition I like to use it's not mine, it's from a north American sex educator named Tristan Taormino,
she says that ethical pornography is those where performers are treated equally, their job is paid ethically
and the environment is healthy, save and consensual.
As you can see, all the characteristics have to do with what happens behind the cameras
not in front of them, because in my opinion we can't talk about feminist porn or the representation on screen
if the conditions where we are performing our job are not worthy or fair.
- Obviously when we start talking about pornography, which is a topic that involves basically everyone either it's because they reject it
but it's something that when you talk about it, there's people that closes the door, gets mad or get moralistic
How do you perceive it? When you openly say on your interviews "I defend sex workers, I'm a sex worker".
The stigma and discrimination are huge... When they ask me about what's the worst about pornography,
I always answer that the worst part of my job is how society understand sexuality
because that is what makes me having to justify myself every second of my everyday for the last 8 years.
In the eyes of society, when you work in something related to your image is because you don't have the brains to work in something related to your intelligence.
And this is a stigma that every sex worker has to deal with in our everyday.
- How old are you... 26?
Yes, I'm 26 years old.
- 26 years old Amarna, when do you decide you want to work in pornography?
I always say I ended up in this industry by chance!
I'm a person with a high sex drive, I definitively was interested in expanding the horizons of my sexuality,
trying new things... and when I turned 18
more like a fantasy I never thought would actually happen...
I reached out to some Spanish producers, I didn't like the answers and decided porn wasn't for me and stopped thinking about it.
At the same time I was studying Fine Arts, which is the career I graduated to,
and discovered the world of photography, which is the passion of my life.
So through photography and my existing interest in sex, I started taking pictures of my friends: first dressed, later naked,
then even more and more explicit... an it came to a point while seeing those representations, I realised that was where I wanted to participate
... but it didn't exist! So I saw a niche in the market, and with that idea in mind I created my own porn producer!
When I was 19... I was just a kid.
I had no idea what I was doing and it went a little through trial and error.
The first year it was a disaster, insane... and after the first year I started working as an actress too.
As you can imagine, having control of all the situation because I was directing and producing at the same time
so of course like that it was very easy.
- You're very young... You just said earlier that one of the reason you chose this profession was because you have a high sex drive... what do you mean with that?
Well... It's a good observation, I'm not certain that my sex drive is higher than the women around me
or I was just always more excited to explore those areas.
Meaning when I said my sex drive is higher then my enviornment
I'm not 100% sure if this is a real affirmation or I just simply had less problems on showing it... You know?
I have always been very exhibitionist or perhaps I was less afraid of "what will people think about me" for being a sex worker
and also being a woman, with the double standards this implies.
- What was your first job as a sex worker, you said you started taking pictures but when it was the moment to perform for the first time... How was it?
Honestly, it was super easy...
- Were you happy?
Yes, it was great! ...
- Was it really that easy?
Yes! As I told you I was directing, it was for my own producer, it was a solo-scene... So I was by myself.
At that time I was also working as an artistic model, so it was just taking a step further and instead of being naked in front of a camera,
I was naked and masturbating... And being someone who hadn't lots of prejudges around sexuality...
It didn't imply any epiphany... It was really simple and I had a lot of fun!
- Look Amarna... Many of our listeners that start hearing out your testimony... start blessing a cross!
Some curse, other leave, some other arrive... What would you say to those who see your work as sinful, shameful, improper...?
What would you say to those watching right now?
It's a controverted topic... Everyone has their right to have their own opinion
the only think I ask for to this people is that before leaving any negative comments, they should at least inform themselves of the work
because it's very easy to give an opinion without having an idea about we are talking about, specially in sex work
where many stereotypes and stigma exist, lots of discrimination based on nothing...
On theories that have been going on since the 80's/90's but are not to date.
So among anything, I would recommend information. Before having a closed, obtuse opinion regarding this topic... look for information about it!
Watch interviews of porn actresses, prostitutes, from sex workers that are open to the media
- And to those who see it from a religious or moralist point of view...
- What perception do you have? Because there some that see you as the devil!
As a demon.. OMG!
Ok well... obviously this topics don't get along with a religious ideology...
But well, I believe that in some way - specially women - we have been told for hundreds of years how we should love, how we should behave...
How we should establish our emotional, sexual relationships... So many levels! We were completely locked up.
Trapped in an ideology we didn't choose, and for the first time after all this years we have the opportunity of empower our sexuality,
being able to do whatever we want -obviously with certain limits- with our bodies, our image, our sex.
And this is wonderful! It's a tool we didn't have for centuries...
So.. it's my body and I choose... right? We've to respect the decisions of others.
And we all have to understand, that we're all in this world because someone had sex.... It's about time that we normalise it.
- Amarna... I want to ask you about your family... Your mom, dad... I don't know if you have siblings? What do they think about what you do since you started to now you're a professional?
I'm an only child, it's just me and my parents and well I have some close aunts and cousins.
But well our family is a little small.
At the beginning... when I decided to work in pornography, obviously I faced a huge family battle.
My parents thought it was terrible, specially because they belong to a generation that believes that if you have a career, you have studies...
you must work in that, meaning: the economic and work safety are worthier than personal happiness.
And I completely disagree with this. I believe that I should do what makes me happy, it's my life after all!
You only live once, and there is very little time for it!
I've always thought about living my life through my own decisions and not through the fears of other
I believe it's something that paralyses people... Everybody is always thinking "what will my family think about...?", "what will happen if my future son..., job opportunity...?"
Always thinking in hypothetical cases...
When I believe that, obviously the future is important but we should do what makes us happy.
- There are more than 1400 people online, but let me insist in the topic that presented Jairo,
at the beginning your family was somewhat scandalised, how did you come to terms? Do you remember the day you sat down and told them "look, I want to do this, this is what I like..."
Besides that, you're an only child... they were probably hoping you became a doctor, a painter, nurse... anything but a sex worker.
Well, again this is a little stereotype because it's the same being a doctor, lawyer, painter or sex worker.
You offer a service for which you obtain an economic compensation.
The battle I'm fighting is ideological, ethical and moral.
Answering your question... I told them just as I'm telling you now, it's my life and it's me who's going to make the decisions about it.
Besides, be aware I'm a very strategic person: I've things very clear, my head on my shoulders,
I'm not living a crazy life... Oh now I will shoot porn, lasts 2 months and then leave... No.
I have a professional baggage because I work in what I work, I do it because I want to and because I'm a hard worker.
And I believe this has helped them a lot to understand it in a positive way. Understanding I'm a grown up and I know what I'm doing...
This isn't just a fase.
- Sandra on Facebook asks: Vicky ask her why did she choose this job... for money or for pleasure?
Good question! I started in porn completely as a hobby! Honestly when I started I didn't even earn money from it,
I was working for my own company so everything I earned I did invest back. So at a personal level I didn't even make money.
But after 8 years working in something, it ends up turning into work. As much as I like it...
Well let me say an example: you probably love the radio but after working on it for long it turns into a job... Same for pornography.
I started as a hobby, just for pleasure and self-discover... But after a while it turned into something that obviously was worth it, but as a job.
- There's something I'd like to know...
(...)
Amarna, what's the difference of having sex on set, with someone you don't really know for shooting a movie
and sex with your partner, who you love, in you house... no lights, no cameras.
Well it's completely different ,of course!
The moment you have a camera in front of you recording, you are performing a representation of sex
but it will never be just like the one you have in your private life. Not better or worse, just different.
When you're on set you have to be focused, you can let go 100%
you can be shadowing yourself, must know where the camera angle is, ...
So it's not something as natural as the sex you have in your bedroom,
but this doesn't mean it's not pleasurable or that you don't have fun, you just have to keep certain things in mind.
- Where stands everything about having sex with the person you love... What happens with that when someone decides to work in the same profession as you?
I think we have been taught sexuality in two quite binary ways: the reproductive role, you have sex for having kids
or the romantic role, you only have sex with the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with.
And I believe there's a wonderful scale of greys that we sometimes miss.
You can have sex with someone you are not involved romantically but still like, just for fun and pleasure.
And I believe in my case, pornography is in that grey scale, it's not a sex radicalisation.
- (...) I'm looking through the comments on our Facebook Live, and most of the times people see this more from a moralist point of view
- They see your profession as something inmoral.
(...)
- What about morality?
Ah... it's a big confrontment... Something I deal with on my everyday...
On one side, I believe every opinion should be respected, there are many people against my work but they deserve the same respect as the ones who support it.
On the other hand, I believe that most of the people who are against it is simply because they haven't informed themselves enough about the reality of this business or industry.
