A choice selection from the interview on HotMoviesForHer.com:

Haven't heard of Audacia Ray yet? This woman has taken the industry by storm, directing her first film The Bi Apple (read our review!), which is an excellent female friendly film, publishing her first book "Naked on the Internet - Hookups, Downloads, Cashing in on Sexploration" and being an executive editor of the award winning magazine "$pread", which is by and for sex workers. In her spare time, she curates the exhibit "Sex Worker Visions" and writes for Fleshbot, among other ventures. She's like Visa - everywhere you want to be. With an MA from Columbia, and years of experience of different types of work in the sex industry, this sex positve, queer-friendly firecracker is a wealth of knowledge and experience and we're super excited to have such a wonderful and empowered woman give us an exclusive interview.

1. How (and when) did you get involved with the sex/sex work industry?
I think I've always been something of a sex nerd, though once upon a time I was a lot more timid about it than I am now. I got my first official sex-related job in 2001 - as a researcher at the then-nascent Museum of Sex. Since then I've been a porn reviewer, sex blogger, curator, body worker, professional foot fetishist, porn director/producer, magazine editor, naked model… the list goes on.

2. If you weren't working in and around the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I would probably be working in a museum or a library.

3. What's the best thing you've learned or best advice you've received from industry?
I'm not sure if it qualifies as the "best" but I've learned how to be proud of and stand up for things that many people find despicable.

4. What's one of the funniest things to have happened to you?
Um, the time I met my now-boyfriend in a threesome with my best friend was pretty good.
