She took over directorship of Kink.com's ''Wired Pussy'', a pornographic website focusing on electrical stimulation of female [[Bottom (BDSM)|submissives]] by female [[Top (BDSM)|dominants]]. In addition to directing, she served as the principal dominant on the site, though other female dominants make guest appearances. In 2008 it was reported that she had directed and appeared in about 300 scenes for ''Wired Pussy''.<ref name=Taormino1/> Some of her first performances were as a submissive for Insex.com, but she did not perform male/female intercourse on camera until 2008: "The Training of O was the first site that combined enough serious BDSM with boy/girl sex to make me curious about trying it."<ref name=Taormino2>[http://www.villagevoice.com/2008-05-27/columns/the-training-of-o-turns-the-tables-on-a-well-known-domme/ "The Training of O Turns the Tables on a Well Known Domme"], ''[[Village Voice]]'', May 27, 2008.</ref> In 2008, Princess Donna developed a new site, ''PublicDisgrace.com'', which focused on the fetish of public humiliation of female submissives, and also featured male-female intercourse.<ref name=AVN/> As of late 2012 she directed ''Public Disgrace'', ''Bound Gang Bangs'', and ''Ultimate Surrender''. Princess Donna is also a regular "character" on the reality-based queer serial pornographic website ''The Crash Pad Series''. She left Kink in late 2014. ===Documentaries=== Along with [[Lorelei Lee (actress)|Lorelei Lee]], Princess Donna was the subject of Brian Lilla's 2007 independent film ''A Tale of Two Bondage Models'', which appeared at the 2008 [[Tribeca Film Festival]].<ref name=Tribeca/> She also appears in ''[[Graphic Sexual Horror]],'' a 2009 documentary about [[Insex]]. She appears, along with adult performers [[Lorelei Lee (actress)|Lorelei Lee]] and Isis Love, in the 2012 documentary ''Public Sex, Private Lives'' by Simone Jude, where she is interviewed about the lifestyle and workday of people who practice BDSM, and how it is becoming less taboo.<ref name="Public Sex, Private Lives" /><ref name="New Documentary That Will Challenge Everything You Know About Porn" /><ref name="A Documentary on Porn Performers" /><ref name="Documentary on Kink.com Stars Seeks Kickstarter Crowdfunding" /> ==Views on sexuality== Princess Donna identifies her sexual identity as "[[queer]]," according to a 2008 interview in the ''[[Village Voice]]''. She said: "My sexuality lies outside the dominant culture of vanilla [[heteronormativity]]. I'm everything but straight. I like girls, I like boys, I like [[transgender]] boys and girls."<ref name=Taormino2/> She has expressed a [[feminist]] perspective on her work: "I grew up in a ''[[The Silence of the Lambs (film)|Silence of the Lambs]]'' culture, a culture where rape and killing women are very common themes for movies and TV shows. Society isn't afraid of sex and violence; they are afraid of women owning their own bodies and controlling their own sexuality—which is what happens in BDSM."<ref name=Taormino1/> ==Documentary appearances== *2007: ''A Tale of Two Bondage Models'' *2009: ''[[Graphic Sexual Horror]]'' *2012: ''Public Sex, Private Lives'' *2013: ''Kink'' == References == {{reflist|2| refs = <ref name="sfbg">{{cite news | title = Because Princess says so | first = Caitlin | last = Donohue | url = http://www.sfbg.com/2011/09/20/because-princess-says-so?page=0,0 | newspaper = San Francisco Bay Guardian | publisher = | year = 2011 | accessdate = 2012-01-12 }}</ref> <ref name=AVN>[http://online.avn.com/articles/32606.html "New Public Sex and Bondage Site, PublicDisgrace.com, Launches"], ''[[Adult Video News]]'', October 1, 2008.</ref> <ref name=Tribeca>[http://www.tribecafilm.com/filmguide/Tale_of_Two_Bondage_Models.html "Tribeca Film Festival Catalog"], 2008.</ref> }} ==Further reading== * [http://www.sfbg.com/2011/09/20/because-princess-says-so?page=0,0 "Because Princess Says So"], ''[[San Francisco Bay Guardian]]'' (September 20, 2011) * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4G3Xz8v0OM Video Interview: Princess Donna on Feminism and Porn] ==External links== {{commons category}} * [http://princessdonnablog.com Official blog] * {{IMDb name|2508282|Princess Donna}} * {{Twitter}} * {{iafd name|id=princessdonna|gender=female|name=Princess Donna}} * {{afdb name|id=43918|gender=female|name=Princess Donna}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Princess Donna}} [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:American female erotic dancers]] [[Category:American erotic dancers]] [[Category:American pornographic film actresses]] [[Category:American pornographers]] [[Category:Bondage models]] [[Category:Culture of San Francisco]] [[Category:Educators from California]] [[Category:Women pornographic film directors]] [[Category:LGBT dancers]] [[Category:LGBT entertainers from the United States]] [[Category:Queer pornographic film actors]] [[Category:Pornographic film actors from California]] [[Category:Sex educators]] [[Category:Tisch School of the Arts alumni]] [[Category:Queer directors]] [[Category:Queer feminists]] [[Category:Sex-positive feminists]] [[Category:Queer women]] [[Category:1982 births]] [[Category:LGBT people from California]] [[Category:LGBT people from New York (state)]]'
