Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D. - prostitute/porn star turned performance artist/sexologist. Graduated The School of Visual Arts (NYC) with a BFA. Awarded the Rhodes Family Award for Outstanding Achievement in Photography. In 2002 she received her Ph.D. in Human Sexuality at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. She has passionately researched and explored sexuality in all of its glorious and inglorious forms for thirty years, and has shared her findings all along the way through producing and starring in her own unique brand of sex films, photographic work, teaching workshops, and college lectures. She is also an internationally acclaimed performance artist, touring one-woman shows about her life in sex. Annie has championed many a sex worker's rights and health issues along the way. She was also one of the pivotal players in the 80’s 'sex positive feminist movement'. Her autobiography, 'Post Porn Modernist' (Cleis Press) is a cult classic and her latest book, 'Hardcore from the Heart: The Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex in Performance', won the Firecracker Alternative Book Award in 2002.
