Before I keep on waxing poetic about Annie Sprinkle, let me get into her early career. She was born as Elen F. Steinberg in Philadephia, Pennsylvania July 23rd, 1954 (I can’t believe it was that long ago..). She called herself the ‘nice Jewish girl’ from time to time, and whiel she was born in PA she was raised in Los Angeles. She started off in the sex industry by doing what so many teens did in the 60s and 70s – she was rebelling by becomming a prostitute, along with a job as a porn theater cashier. One thing lead to another and she ended up right in the middle of the porn industry.

Her first movie was Teenage Covergirl (or Teenage Deviate in 1974, but sources are sketchy on this part of things), which was released for public consumption in 1973, however, her most well known movie is the one pictured here: Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle. That movie was released in 1981.

She has used this background of sexuality to make a positive impact in her life, becoming the first classic pornstar to get a PHD. She is openly bisexual with her life partner Elizabeth Stephens and describes herself as a Post Porn Modernist. She does a great deal of sex positive things, from workshops to tantric yoga to a great deal of excellent books on sexuality.

It is very rare to see someone so in touch with her own sexuality to be able to help countless others understand their needs and desires, to realize they aren’t dirty or deviant at all…and for that, I have to say that I owe a great debt of gratitude to this wonderful woman that is Dr. Annie Sprinkle.
