	Annie Sprinkle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Annie M. Sprinkle (born Ellen F. Steinberg July 23, 1954 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was a prostitute, stripper, porn film star, cable television host, porn magazine editor and writer, and sex film producer.
		As the first porn star to earn a Ph.D., Sprinkle received her Ph.D. in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, CA.
		In 1991, Sprinkle created the Sluts and Goddesses workshop, which became the basis for her 1992 production The Sluts and Goddesses Video Workshop – Or How To Be A Sex Goddess in 101 Easy Steps which was co-produced and co-directed with videographer Maria Beatty and featuring music by composer Pauline Oliveros.

	Biography of Annie Sprinkle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Annie's genuinely candid use of sexually explicit material is not the least bit sensationalist, instead she educates audiences about the various aspects of women's sexuality and potential by demystifying female anatomy.
		Annie Sprinkle's self-conscious exhibitionism rejects that idea of connotation by blatantly displaying an enlightened caricature of "to-be-looked-at-ness" that exudes her prerogative to manipulate the conveyed representation.
		Annie is an acting subject, not an objectified passive recipient of the gaze, for she is the one wielding the power.

	spectator.net - Spectator.net - Annie Sprinkle's Hardcore from the Heart - review by Liz Highleyman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		That Annie Sprinkle is one of the most well-known and best-loved figures in pornography is no accident — for over 25 years she’s broken new ground and pushed the edges of erotic representation.
		Annie’s "Sprinkle Salons" in her New York apartment were graced by the likes of Fakir Musafar, Lydia Lunch, artist H.R. Giger, happy hooker Xaviera Hollander, Tiny Tim, and members of the Hell’s Angels.
		Annie says she "wants to delight, not shock." Maybe this is why her work has such a friendly feel: She would rather reach out, embrace, and educate the world — not scare it off.

	Goddess Erotica. Article - Annie Sprinkle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I have long admired Annie Sprinkle, the ex porn star who now calls herself a "pleasure activist." Annie has worked so hard to put forward a pro-sex viewpoint, and is always giving the world far more than she takes from it.
		Annie's personal journey has been monumental, and she has experienced so much in her lifetime - prostitution, film stardom, grief, many lovers, and an awakening of her lesbian sexuality.
		Annie has created other shows since then, but hasn't returned to Australia so I haven't had the chance to see any of her other work.

		Sprinkle admits that "feeling ugly and wanting to be touched" drove her to porn and prostitution in her teens, but she doesn't wring her hands over it.

	The Oberlin Review Online // Arts
		When she became a hooker and a porn star, Steinberg realized her name was not suitable to her lifestyle and while lying in bed, Ellen heard the name "Annie Sprinkle" whispered in her ear.
		Soon Sprinkle was discovered at a burlesque sex show titled Nurse Sprinkle Sex Education Class and the head of Performance Studies at New York University invited her to perform in the show, The Prometheus Project at the Performing Garage.
		She discussed her shift from Ellen Steinberg to Annie Sprinkle, the benefits and drawbacks of sex work, made the Public Cervix Announcement - she opened her vagina with a speculum and invited the audience to look at her cervix - and performed ritual masturbation.

		Sprinkle displayed the ribald generosity she is known for as she slung her breasts about and promised "tit prints for everybody" even though the books had sold out.
		Sprinkle's role as "dialectical" shows her as someone very conscientious about her role as both commodity and seller, and it disavows her as a victim.
		Sprinkle has come to prefer art to pornography because of the freedom and acceptance she has found as an artist, and she has found a way to transcend porn and present a bigger message.

		Annie Sprinkle has been in the porn industry for such a long time that she has almost become an icon of sexuality.
		Annie also introduces us to some new vocabulary words of her own including “medibate” (a form or meditating and masturbation) and “crygasm” (the act of shedding a few tears during orgasm) which on the surface seem a little silly but underneath are just goofy.
		Annie says that making porn is a lot harder than we think and that “the answer to bad porn is not no porn but to try and make better porn” and after watching this, I tend to agree.

		In 1982, after starring in 100 movies written and directed by men, Sprinkle wrote, directed and starred in "Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle." This was several years before she went to college and discovered feminism in a women's studies class, but the movie subverts porn's dehumanization by putting Sprinkle's pleasure front and center.
		She's the aggressor, and she's the celebrity ("Why, you're Annie Sprinkle," cries a white-haired gentleman as she pulls his fingers into her mouth).
		Sprinkle has several sex-related gigs now, yet I wonder if her mermaid identification signals a move away from sex.

		ANNIE: [laughs] A Post Porn Modernist is a term a friend of mine in Holland came up with to describe certain kinds of people who make sexually explicit material that's perhaps more experimental, political, humorous, avant garde, strange, eclectic, than the usual, which is basically erotic...or attempts to be erotic.
		ANNIE: Yes, Katharine Gates made the web site for me. Any expression of sexual issues or desires, any kind of talk or thinking about sexuality is a positive thing, because it's taking subjects that are very hidden and in the dark and bringing light on them.
		ANNIE: She was the keynote speaker at the whore conference.

		I reckon Annie is a huckster, drawing the rubes in with the old bait and switch.
		Annie Sprinkle and most all of the rest of the sexologists I've ever seen are just "morality porn".
		I have seen Sprinkle in Seattle [while she was fully dressed, on a panel talking about sex literature, I think] and she came off as sort of flakey and willfully naive about what it would take to make this country authentically more sex-positive.

		That is, it very much belongs to her, but during the 30 years she's undressed for the public eye, her body has also come to represent a kind of roving museum of performance art.
		Yes, I said "sex-positive." Although it's no longer a part of her stage show, Sprinkle is famous for baring the deepest parts of her own, er, vagina monologues, in a display called "Public Cervix Announcement." Most people don't even know where the cervix is, and this is the point of Sprinkle's performance art.
		These days, Sprinkle uses the stage to address censorship, queer issues and sex-positive feminism through a mostly autobiographical slide show of outtakes from her previous works, Annie Sprinkle's Herstory of Porn and Post-Porn Modernist.
