Everybody Loves Lianna!

Trans porn star Lianna Lawson is a complete sexual treasure and she is only going to get more and more popular. Get to know her here!

What were you like back in high school? Who did you hang out with/date?
"High school was an interesting time, a lot of self discovery for sure. I didn't hang out with a ton of other people, was more of a shut-in who played waaaaay too many video games. What I played most of all back then was Star Wars Galaxies, sooo much time and energy was spent on that game. And the only reason I stopped playing was because they shut the servers down. As for dating, I didn't really seek out relationships and any relationships I did have went nowhere fast."

Were you a porn fan before you got into the industry? Who were your favorite porn stars/favorite porn movies?

"Very much so, I enjoyed the fantasy fulfillment of it. Like these really attractive people going to town on each other was extremely hot. Some of my favorite porn stars were/are girls who do anal like Sasha Grey, Jenna Haze, Roxy Raye or Proxy Paige. There's just something so tantalizing about girls who takes it up the ass, it's just so fucking hot. It's probably why I explored anal on myself. And to be honest I didn't exactly watch movies so much as the scenes online and I couldn't tell ya the title of any of them for the life of me. I just remembered the studio logos that made them like Kink or Evil Angel."

What kind of scene have you found is your favorite kind to do so far?

"I like the scenes where I'm typically getting fucked, the harder the better, not to say it's not also fun to be on the other side. I just find myself enjoying the scenes where I'm the submissive one getting railed. I'd love to explore more kinkier submissive roles, but those opportunities haven't presented themselves yet."

What/who do you want to do on-camera that you haven’t done yet?

"I would love to do a BDSM scene(s); it's a genre which more than a couple things line up with my tastes. I'd enjoy something along the lines of me being suspended and having a line of guys fuck and play with me mercilessly. I also think it would be super hot to do an exhibition shoot where I'm humiliated and degraded, or something along those lines. These are definitely things I'd love to explore on camera or even in private."

Who is your favorite performer to work with so far and why?

"That's a really tough one, I've enjoyed working with practically all of my scene partners. There's usually one thing or another which makes working with another performer very enjoyable. Whether it's their personality, quirks, looks, or just the attitude towards the scene makes them all pretty fun. Cop out answer, I know, but after working with so many other people it's hard to pick just one."

You respond to your fans a lot on Twitter. What do you like most about talking to your fans on social media?

"I really enjoy the responses on Twitter because it's a time to actually interact with someone else on the other side of the screen and Twitter creates a space for a dialogue between me and the fans which today is pretty important for building a connection and even a brand between 'buyer and seller'."

How did you become a porn performer? What led you down that career path?

"I kinda just filmed a video of me playing with my toys and there was a positive reception which sorta snowballed into camming and that led to a director noticing me and getting me in front of their camera which ultimately led me to where I'm at now, starring in porn being a semi-recognizable performer."

What do you think that people assume about trans porn performers that simply is not true?

"I believe that people have this misconception that because trans women have a penis that it functions exactly how a cis male performer's functions. That's simply not true. Trans girls are on a cocktail of hormones, and things don't always end up working 'as expected'. There are varying degrees as to how hormones affect each person, but viewers insisting that all trans performers function exactly how male performers function in scenes is unrealistic."

What would you most like to achieve in the porn industry?

"I think I'd be lucky to achieve anything, as long as the direction is forward I'm happy to be apart of that movement. If anything, better representation is always nice in more mainstream avenues. I just wanna lick ass and take names and have a blast while doing it."

What do you love most about being in porn?

"The people. Everyone has something to bring to the table and contribute and it's the coolest thing ever. It's a chance to peek behind the curtain and see all the nitty-gritty details on what another person may be all about. It's awesome and really cool to meet, hang out, and work with the people in this industry. I wouldn't have it any other way."

What do you think are “must-have” DVDs for your fans?

"I suppose you can check out releases like 'Trans-Visions 13' or 'The TS Life' from Evil Angel and enjoy to your heart's content!"

What do you like to do for fun?

"I like to play video games, watch movies, read books or comics; you know, the usual suspects. I've always enjoyed running and I'm trying to do more of that for a number of reasons. I've also fancied dancing and that keeps me active, but I feel a little self conscious about dancing in public. I think it'd be really neat to get into pole dancing, but there are certain anxieties that come along with that."

What are your favorite fetishes to explore on camera?

"I love being a sub, just love, love, love it. I think it would be really cool to explore kinkier sides of submission. Just seeing what I'm capable of doing on camera is exhilarating. It's been fun exploring sounding, I'd also like to take the time now to state that sounding is safe and does not hurt when done properly. Just so much stuff I put out there like chastity, piss-play, fisting, breath-play, spanking, domming, being dommed, etc.. Just so much fun."

Who are your role models in porn?

"Big one is Sasha Grey, she pretty much did whatever and I feel like that's a great head space for being in this industry. She used porn as a platform to explore in a sex-positive way her liberation of shame. You shouldn't have to hide away your fantasies for fear of rejection. Another role model would be Natalie Mars, she's leading the charge for a resurgence of kinkier submissive roles for trans women." It's high time having it be more acceptable casting trans women for that type of content, which in a sense is liberating as well. That's awesome because I think it's a great direction."

What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

"I really enjoyed 'Blade Runner 2049'. The cinematography is just so damn good, albeit it drags on for a bit, it's well acted and an interesting take on the advancement of technology. It's refreshing to see a sequel that is not super terrible."

How about the best porno movie? Is there someone whose movies you like to watch who is working now?

"I do like Charlotte Sartre's movies. Bringing it back to girls who do it in the butt, she does it in spades. And I love her for it! She's a performer who does/has done everything under the sun, and I think that's a great quality. I wish her nothing but the best!"

What is coming up for you?

"I have my own website which should be coming out soon and there's a ton of scenes that I am sure are going to excite fans. Other things would be scenes I've shot for companies which I am super proud to be a part of and excited to see how they turned out, not only for myself but for the fans as well."

If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be?

"A young Michelle Pfeiffer in her Catwoman suit from 'Batman Returns'. Michael Fassbender is a close second."

What single piece of advice would you give a brand new porn performer?

"Come prepared, make the most of the scene, and try and have fun with it."

Is there anything you want to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?

"I really appreciate the love and support that you give me and allow me to further pursue my career. Without you and your support, I don't believe I would be here now gushing over how awesome it is to be a sex worker. Thank you all for being fans!!"
