Annie M. Sprinkle (born Ellen F. Steinberg on July 23, 1954) is an American certified sexologist,[2] performance artist, former sex worker, and advocate for sex work and health care.[3]
Sprinkle has worked as a prostitute, sex educator, feminist stripper, pornographic film actress, and sex film producer and director.[4][5] In 1996, she became the first known porn star to get a doctoral degree,[2] earning a PhD in human sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.[6][7]
Identifying as ecosexual, Sprinkle is best known for her self-help style of pornography, teaching individuals about pleasure, and for her conventional pornographic film Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle (1981).[8] Through the production of feminist based pornographic content, include understanding of female genitalia and pornography based on women's desires, Sprinkle has contributed to feminist pornography and the larger social movement of feminism; she is also known for contributing to the rise of the post-porn movement and bisexual/lesbian pornography.[9][4] Sprinkle, a bisexual woman and member of the LGBTQ+ community, married her long-time partner Beth Stephens in Canada on January 14, 2007.
