Twenty Questions with Porno Legend Christy Canyon

Christy Canyon just rules.  She is in the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame and is one of the most memorable Vivid Girls to walk the planet.  She wrote a great book about being a porn star and has been immortalized in an Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark song.  She won the AVN Award for Best Tease Performance in Vivid's "Comeback" in 1996 and Best Group Sex Scene for her scene in "The Show" (also known as "The Sex Show") where she got fucked well by Steven St. Croix, Tony Tedeschi and Vince Vouyer.  She hosts "The Christy Canyon Show" on Vivid Radio and it is some dirty, dirty fun.  Here are her answers to twenty questions.

1) What kind of girl were you back in high school? Who did you hang out with/date?

In high school I was one of the middle of the road popular kids....our school was broken into three categories; the upper was called the soches (short for socialites) then the middle group, the cool kids and then the bottom of the barrel the stoners and a few scattered geeks and misfits. I was firmly in the middle group...the cool kids. I was a one man woman...always had a cool boyfriend.

2) Were you a porn fan before you got into the industry? Who were your favorite porn stars/favorite porn movies?

I had only seen one porn before entering the biz. One wonderful stoned out of my mind night with some old perv. NEVER did I think six months later I would get into the biz.

3) What do you think shaped you into the great performer that we saw in your porno?

Big tits and an insatiable appetite to learn about sex.

4) What do you enjoy most about hosting for Vivid Radio?

Interviewing and playing around with my sexy guests. People fascinate me.

5) Who was your favorite male performer/female performer to work with and why?

My favorites are Peter North, Mark Davis, TT Boy, Tony Tedeschi, Tom Byron, even Ron Jeremy. Whew....now that I think of it, if I fucked them on film only once, they weren't my favorites. They were almost all my favorite. Why? Because they were sexy motherfuckers that didn't want to cuddle in the morning.

6) You check in with your fans a lot on Twitter. Tell me how reaching your fans through the internet has changed things for you.

It's taken away some of the mystique I grew up with....I loved being a bit more mysterious. Yet the positive is, I feel closer to my fans now knowing when they take a piss in the morning thanks to them tweeting it out.

7) What’s your favorite position to get fucked in and why does it get you off?

Missionary is my go to when I just want an instant big O. THEN, three orgasms later, I switch into what ever mood I am in. If I am with a tit lover, I'll climb on top. if I am with an ass lover I do reverse cowgirl. If they aren't my cup of tea, I'll back it up into doggie.

8) What do you remember most about the making of Vivid’s “Comeback”?

How big and beautiful Tony Tedeschi's cock was.

9) What is one thing you would teach a woman who wanted to be better in bed with her guy?

Be yourself. Tell him what YOU want.

10) What are the best things about being a porn star? How has it made your life more fulfilling?

Believe it or not, I became ore confident all the way around.

11) What do you think are “must-own” titles for your fans?

Comeback, The Show, W-Pink and The Passages 1-4 series....oh hell, all of them.

12) What do you like to do for fun?

Pamper myself. I am a total girlie-girl.

13) Have you met anyone on your show who you wish you could have worked with during your performing career?

Only every fucking day!!!!!

14) What is coming up for you?

Lunch then Vivid Radio. I can't plan any further than that.

15) What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

American Sniper and believe you me, that is not generally my movie style. I actually had to think. but DAMN, it was done well, I learned a bit and Bradley Cooper is one fine looking man.

16) How about the best porno movie? Is there someone whose movies you like to watch who is working now?

Any movie or girl who can take two cocks up her ass. I don't care who she is.

17) Are you into toys to get yourself off alone or are you a low-tech woman?

I like fingers when I have twenty minutes and vibes when I need to just squeak out an orgasm in a minute.

18) If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be? Give us your male and female choices and tell us why.

I am such a Gemini, it just depends n my mood that morning.

19) After all of your years in porn, is there anything you would want to do differently if you had a second chance?

Yes, I would have signed with Vivid Entertainment earlier!!!

20) Is there anything you want to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?

Tune into me daily on Vivid Radio 2-4pm pst while you are jerking off to my site.
