To help him launch his new video series “Hysterical Literature,” photographer Clayton Cubitt naturally turned to the thinking man’s porn star, Stoya.
The series’ premise is fairly straightforward: Women sit at a table and read aloud while an unseen pleasure takes place underneath.
Stoya, who picked for her session a passage from Supervert’s highbrow ode to corpse-fucking Necrophilia Variations, describes her experience in a Tumblr post excerpted below:
As I start reading, my disbelief is suspended. I forget what is about to happen. The first touch on my thigh sends all available blood to my vulva. I continue to enunciate properly, focusing on the text. I’ve broken a sweat. If this goes on for much longer my hair will be plastered to my head with perspiration as though I’ve been working out or engaging in acrobatic man/woman penetrative fucking. I stumble over a word, my concentration breaks as I go back to pronounce it correctly. Neither the Hitachi or the woman wielding it will be denied, but in the interests of art (and because this feels so beautifully filthy I don’t want it to stop yet) I hold out as long as I can. This section of the world that I’m inhabiting slows down, zooms in. Like a stretched rubber band it suddenly contracts, and I am lovingly punched with an orgasm.
