Jessica Stoya has been working with sexuality since 2005. Stoya performed in mainstream pornography for several years. Highlights of her time as a “porn star” include being awarded Best US Newcomer 2008 by the Venus Berlin eLINE Awards along with Best New Starlet 2009 by AVN and Xbiz, followed by becoming a Fleshlight Girl in 2011.
That Fleshlight contract has enabled Stoya to pursue writing and creative work seriously. Jessica has written about sexuality, pornography, and the contexts each subject exists within for outlets such as The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Statesman, VICE, and Playboy. Her first book, Philosophy, Pussycats, & Porn, was published in 2018, and she has been half of Slate’s How To Do it sex advice column since 2019.
Retired from mainstream pornography, Jessica continues to create visual work involving sexuality. She is available for interviews, public speaking, and freelance commissions of writing and other forms of media.
