Porn icon Asa Akira spills her secrets to sex stardom.

With 32 awards and two bestselling books under her garter belt, Asa Akira is far from an amateur in the porn industry. Back in 2013, she made history as the second Asian person to win the AVN Female Performer of the Year Award and she’s starred in over 500 adult films since her debut in the industry. We sat down with the famous Japanese-American sex starlet to learn how she stumbled onto her first porn shoot, the secret to being an award-winning anal performer, and where she will fit in to the future of pornography.

What was your earliest introduction to pornography? My first experience with porn was when I was in the third grade. I lived in Japan and my friend had some American cable channel, probably Skinemax. I would sleep over at her house every weekend and around 2 a.m., this fairytale porn show would come on. Mother Goose was naked and telling a fairytale, then they would reenact the story in a porno-y way. Looking back, I think it was probably softcore, they didn’t show penetration or anything. But it was very exciting and I thought it was the craziest, most awesome thing I’d ever seen.
