Lisa Sparks: "The tube sites have now killed porn"
Lisa Sparks (aka Lisa Sparxxx) is part of this generation of porn actresses that haunted our first 100GB hard drives. Her pulpy silhouette was already a welcome exception among the filiform Taylor Rain, Aurora Snow or Gauge. Lisa has now changed category, inexorably approaching curvy spheres far beyond the scope of my personal tastes in porn. Nevermind, I wanted to pay tribute to Lisa Sparks, a veteran in the American porn industry. Here are her answers.
You’ve been in the porn business for over 10 years? I guess it must have changed since you did your first scene. What is your point of view about the evolution of porn, with the rise of internet and free x-tubes for instance?
Yes the business has changed… The internet caused more girls to have sites which has saturated the market but the tube sites have now killed porn probably forever. I am not sure what we can do except for being vigilant on keeping our content as safe as we can by sending letters of removal of our content and hoping that the more letters we send for copy write infringement the better at some point those sites will have to either leave them off for good or realize that paying us for the content will make the relationship better between us but I doubt that will happen so it will sadly continue to eat away at our profits and fans will be the only ones that will benefit from the free porn.
You still hold the world record for the biggest gang bang ever, it was back in 2004. I’ve seen this record being questioned on some websites by people arguing that you did not actually fucked with 900+ different guys. What would you answer them?
I have never said that it was 919 different guys I said it was 919 different insertions. That is what the record is for as for what I say about it. It was so long ago that I am really tired of talking about it and why people still bring it up is beyond me. I wish someone else would break it so they can answer all the questions that stupid people ask me that don’t even care about the work but just want to ask silly questions.
8 years after, what do you think about this impressive performance? Do you think you would still be able to do something similar nowadays? What was your state of mind when you decided to set this record?
I would never try that record again and I don’t really think it’s that impressive, it was just another day at work for me 🙂 My state of mind? I was working so I was focused on the work at hand just as most people are at their jobs.
You say on your website that Manuel Ferrara is one of your favorite porn actor. Why? Did you work with other French actors/actresses? What’s your opinion about French performers and French porn? Have you ever been to France?
Manuel is just a great person, it had nothing to do with being French, but not to say that is a bad thing it just wasn’t the focus. As for my opinion I don’t know any other French performers but I love my French fans they have always been very supportive and no sadly I have never been to France.
Do you watch porn? What are your favorite tags?
I don’t watch porn at all, so I don’t really know much as I don’t watch my own scenes either. So I wouldn’t be able to tell you what turns me on most on screen other then someone that is enjoying their work and not doing it just for the money.
You mention a lot of bands in your website faq. What are you listening to these days, what’s your current playlist? Any recommandation?
I am really into Bruno Mars right now. I love his music and they way that he keeps it fresh.
Your curves are now legendary, do you consider yourself an ambassador/spokesperson for curvy girls?
I don’t consider myself an ambassador to anything.I am just glad that girls know it’s sexy to be curvy but I am not the only woman in porn to help make that ok.
You say you’re a Lakers fan. It’s been a tough season so far for Kobe and his guys. What’s your opinion on Lakers chance to go to the playoffs and succeed this season? What’s your forecast about these playoffs and Finals? Do you attend Lakers games?
To be honest the Lakers are terrible this season. Not from Kobe or the other players, just because I think they should have hired Phil Jackson when they had the chance but I think they will make the playoffs but it will be a short lived trip. I have not been to a game in a few years but they never leave my heart.
Very recently, Aurora Snow wrote an article about interracial porn and the fact that it was still taboo for some actresses in the porn industry. It reminded me of the beef between you and Gauge back in 2005 about interracial links. Seems like the situation didn’t change that much, and there’s still racism (hidden or not) in American porn. You have featured in lot of interracial movies, what’s your point of view about the whole situation?
I think that interracial porn is to each his own. If you don’t like it then don’t watch it, if you don’t want to perform it then don’t perform it, but to make people that do enjoy it feel bad for that is crazy. I didn’t read her article and Gauge and I didn’t battle about it as we are great friends it was just a difference in opinion on the types of scenes we shoot. I just can’t believe that in 2013 we are still discussing something like racism as I find it terrible that people can’t do what they like without someone telling them it’s wrong. I don’t think I have come across anyone who has said to me that they don’t like me because I have shot interracial scenes. Guess I have been lucky.
What are your plans? Do you still see yourself playing in porn movies in the coming years? Any new projects?
I don’t have plans to retire anytime soon but I am always shooting things and my site LisaSparks.com is where you find me.
good article tanks very much
