Dana Vespoli: Dana Loves Dana

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:00:00 CDT

I’m a fan of aggressive lesbian sex, so imagine my luck when Sweetheart Video has me direct new series “Lesbians In Charge”. I was really excited about it and here is why. #1) I love aggressive lesbian sex. #2) It was the first time I got to work with Dana DeArmond!

Dana D can’t help but challenge her partners. It’s like she’s daring them to stop her, as she gets as deep as possible inside of them both physically and mentally.

Dana Vespoli: The Pleasure of Learning in Porn

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:01:00 CST

I’ll never forget learning how to shoot sex. I had just gotten the green light to shoot my first ever movie and went to Manuel Ferrara for advice. There were dos and don’ts of shooting gonzo sex—certain angles that were most flattering, and certain cut points that made life easier for the editor. Manuel had been shooting for a few years, and had just begun shooting for Evil Angel, so I trusted him to give me sound advice. He told me to bring my camera into the bedroom, where he was bedridden with the flu. I brought my camera into the room, and he pulled back the covers and grabbed our cat’s giant stuffed polar bear from the floor...

Dana Vespoli: Keeping it Real

Tue, 04 Sep 2012 04:00:00 CDT

I had dinner with someone recently—someone who is not in the adult industry, and, if he is to be believed, a person who rarely watches porn. He asked how it was possible for two people who don’t know each other, or who are not attracted to each other, to have sex…

Dana Vespoli: An American in Paris

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:05:00 CDT

I’m writing this blog from Paris, or, more specifically, from a suburb just Southeast of Paris. I’m halfway through my trip and there's so much I love about this country. And now some blog highlights: As a performer/director I’ve had the pleasure of shooting and working with some outstanding French talent: Liza Del Sierra, Melissa Lauren, Ian Scott, Greg Centauro, Lou Charmelle, and Manuel Ferrara. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting Liza Del Sierra three times. I would love to fuck Liza myself one of these days. I want to eat flan off of her stomach while drinking espresso.

Dana Vespoli: Sinn Sage is A Force To Be Reckoned With

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:44:00 CDT

Who is this Sinn Sage character? I looked her up, saw her amazing ass and hot-as-fuck body and thought to myself, how come she’s not sitting on my face right now? More importantly, how do I get her in my movie?

Dana Vespoli: Who Am I, Anyway? - Dana Vespoli

Tue, 01 May 2012 14:02:00 CDT

Guess what? I’ve never blogged before. Can you believe it? I know…I feel like I was raised by wolves or something. I’ve written scripts, college theses, articles and I regularly tweet, so you’d think blogging wouldn’t be so challenging, but here we are. Well, to be fair, my writing might suck, but what do you care? If you want groundbreaking essays go read The New Yorker, assholes! Sorry. That was out of line, but I’m laughing a little at the same time.

I’m just going to make this really easy on myself and go with an introduction. I’m going to assume that most of you, save for die-hard porn fans, don’t know who I am. I’m an a...
