On Episode 120 of American Sex Podcast, adult performer Chris Cock talks with us about race in porn–namely the ethics and relevance of the interracial porn genre. Learn what inequities unfold behind the scenes in the making of IR content: what types of scenes qualify as interracial and which surprisingly don’t, race-based pay differentials, unequal adult industry POC media coverage, and more. Chris created the hashtag #IRRELEVANCE to not only call attention to this issue but find solutions. One involves performers redefining the IR genre making interracial content as we know it now irrelevant. Chris also gives advice for newcomers in the industry and important tips for new performers of color.
Chris Cock Bio
Active in adult since 2011, he got into the business by chance without thinking much of it.
Since then he’s gone on to film numerous scenes and still finds the work enjoyable. His favorite thing about the industry is having “the ability to be open in many ways—freedom to express and be yourself.”
In his personal life he finds time to travel and appreciate all styles of dance (he’s also choreography/instructor) and has a deep love for MINI COOPERS :)
Seeing what can be made better with the right mindset and energy. He has begun taking his creativity to the next step with Coopers & Cuties along with IRRELEVANCE Studios with ideas to put out quality content and ideas on different platforms.
Asked for words he lives by, Chris Cock quotes his mother—who indeed offers good advice: “First impressions only last in that moment. People must continue to be intrigued and impressed in future encounters as well. Always be yourself and at your best.”
