Thinking XXX (2004)

Famed photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders did the world an enormous favor in 2004 by releasing XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits, a coffee-table-ready masterpiece fit to please porn buffs everywhere. Essentially, it's a book comprised of still images of male and female adult film stars both clothed and naked, as they naturally look in their day to day lives and how they appear once they get made up into their porno personas. Then, we can read a little bit about their lives, making the people we usually only see getting porked onscreen much more human. Dissatisfied with still photography, Greenfield-Sanders followed up the project with Thinking XXX (2004), a film companion to the famous tome. The shutterbug goes behind the scenes of his nude shoots to reveal the models at their most carefree and exposed. The cast roll is a virtual who’s-who of smut and includes Belladonna, Jenna Jameson, Sharon Mitchell, Tawny Roberts, and many, many more. Why would you want to look at these women naturally naked rather than taking a load to the face or having an obscenely loud ordgams? Because it's weirdly, way more intimate. From Ginger Lynn Allen joking that she's more nervous being photographed with her clothes on, to Nina Hartley discussing the not so glamourous side of the gig, all the way to everyone talking glowingly about Jenna Jameson's business sense and Jesse Jane breaking down how she uses her career to live out her darkest fantasies, thing's get very personal with these people we've seen doing the most personal acts imaginable. Truly a thinking man's guide to the women you've always thought about boning, Thinking XXX is about so much more than sex!
