Vice Interviews Courtney Trouble About Creating Plus-Size Content

LOS ANGELES — Performer and content producer Courtney Trouble sat for an interview with Vice's Gina Tonic to discuss plus-size porn and the increase in diversity of body types in adult content.

Trouble also discussed the talent and production community, how she got started in adult and representation of marginalized groups in her work.

"I loved Playboy growing up, and the closer I got to being 18, the more I thought about how badly I wanted to be a part of Hefner's glowing dream world," Trouble told Tonic. "By the time I was 18, I was secure enough in what I thought the industry might be to become an entertainment-based sex worker."

Trouble, who focuses a lot of her work on queer performers, spoke about the community that adult engenders and how it informs her work.

"I have performers and artists I admire and get inspired by, and then stories that get written tend to open up spaces for new people, and a cycle of making things within our circle of queer sex workers starts again," she told Vice.

She notes her work is inclusive of the community she identifies with. 

"I think from an outside perspective my films will always look like I've placed this idea of 'diversity' in the forefront of my artistic goals, but actually that's just my community," she said. "I am queer, I am trans identified, I am fat, I have disabilities. I don't hang out with a whole lot of straight or cis people in my daily life; my family itself is not all white or cis or thin. A lot of it comes from who’s interested in working with me, as I don't work with agencies or casting directors. I'll also just make whatever kind of porn wants to be made that day — I'm not thinking, like, 'Oh, I need to make a lesbian anal movie, everyone's doing anal.' I still think diversity is important in porn — DIY and indie porn may always just feel more diverse, in one way or another, but there's room for all of it."

She also spoke about free streaming sites as a gateway to adult, while pushing the idea that it should eventually lead to consumers paying for content.

"I also have to admit that, without something like Napster, I wouldn't have discovered or been able to explore some of my all-time favourite bands or films, and I've thankfully only stolen some of the worst music I've ever heard without having to give some giant corporation money for the listen," she said. "I want people to be able to maybe have that kind of relationship with watching free streaming porn. If you're going to do it, make sure you're buying the things you love."
