Erika begins this comic by excitedly announcing, “Holy Moley, my Dearest Perverts! I’m beyond delighted to bring you a special treat today. Genderqueer porn star Jiz Lee is gracing us with their presence for this installment of Ask a Porn Star.” Jiz Lee smiles and says, “Hiya Perverts! I asked for your questions through my Facebook, Twitter, and JizLee.com and whoah, did you deliver!”

The first question reads, “@llman244: Are most of your actions driven by passion or logic?” Jiz Lee responds brightly, “Both! I set up rules to use as a guideline while I follow my gut. I work with directors I admire and performers I adore and plan to keep doing porn as long as I’m having fun. Nina Hartley calls me a ‘Lifer’.” Jiz Lee is standing with an older version of themself holding a silver fox. They continue, “I want to grow old with porn, and represent sexy queer elders. I celebrated by 30^th birthday on CrashPad with a Dirty Thirty 30-Person Orgy and I look forward to planning my Silver Fox Sixty.”

The next question is asked by @psybiggs, “Why sex tip might ’60 Year Old Silver Fox You’ have for you now?” The 60 year old Jiz Lee looks serious and says, “Let go of your insecurities.” Present-day Jiz Lee shrugs and says, “It’s also what my 33 yr old self is telling my 33 yr old self right now, but it’s easier said than done. I guess wisdom grows with age.”

@jameebaiser asks Jiz Lee the next question, “Attachment preference for strap-on harnesses? Tips on picking one out?” Jiz Lee stands with a harness and responds, “When choosing a harness, consider your wants and needs. I prefer silicone dildos that have wide bases, attached to the harness with stretchy or interchangeable O-rings. Will it fit your dildo size/shape? Easy to clean? Accommodating for different body types? There’s been a lot of strap-on innovations; some great harness markers include: SpareParts, ASLAN, and the Roadster Harness by Cherry Bombin’ which is made from recycled bicycle innertubes!”

The next question reads, “@jameebaiser: How to arrange a 30-person orgy?” Over an illustrated background of thirty people having sex with each other, Jiz Lee says, “Planning an orgy of any size is a skill. Invite people who are able to both say and hear ‘no thanks.’ Let guests know who else is invited. Remember that the act of watching is participation and created a sexually charged space. Agree on safer sex precautions and provide supplies. Lubes, dental dams, gloves, and especially non-latex options.” Jiz Lee adds, “Fun fact: an orgy is more than 5 people.”

The next question is asked by Chris Lowrence, “As a genderqueer person, do you prefer that partners use gender-neutral terms when referring to your genitals (ie ‘front hole’ instead of ‘vagina’)? What’s your advice to other who might be uncertain about their partners’ preferences regarding genital terminology?” Jiz Lee replies,  “I like Vulva, Cunt, Vagina, Hole, Clit… But to each, their own! The best method if you aren’t sure of what someone calls their genitalia, is to ask. After all, no matter our gender, we all have preferred names for our fun, fleshy bits.”

@ashtheelf asks, “What were your first sex toys, and where were they from?” Jiz Lee responds, “My first sex toys were Crayola Markers, the handle of a hairbrush, and the bathtub faucet. My first novelty-type toy was a (blue) Fun Factory G-Swirl Vibrator, which gave me my first G-spot ejaculation. Being in San Francisco, it came from Good Vibrations, where I also got my first toys exploring gender, safer sex, and fun.”

The next question reads, “@ElaDarling: Can I fist myself? How? Help, please.” Jiz Lee winks and says, “Chopping off your arm gets messy, and cloning yourself carries ethical dilemmas. Casting a silicone replica can be a handy project… But all these options are a stretch. Assuming the hand fits, folks most able to self-fist are blessed with an accommodating body proportion that includes long arms and short, flexible torsos. It’s often easiest to approach from behind, whatever hole you’re aiming for. One there, the same rules of fisting someone else apply to yourself: Lube, patience, work your way in with the ‘wedge’ or ‘duckbill’ shape, etc… #FistingDay is Oct. 21^st so there’s plenty of time to practice!”

Erika holds her arms outstretched as she says, “Jiz, thank you so much for stopping by our comic. Where else can my delightful Perverts find you online?” Jiz Lee says, “I work behind the scenes and perform in the fine pornographies of CrashPadSeries.com. And I have a hot new movie with Wolf Hudson at PinkLabel.tv titled ‘Justify My Jiz’.”
