A pioneer in sexual education
Annette Haven was one of
the pioneers of adult movies in America and has worked with all
the legendary male stars of her time, including
John Holmes, John
Leslie, Paul Thomas, Eric Edwards, Wade Nichols, Jamie Gillis and
Joey Silvera. As was the case with European actresses such as Brigitte
Lahaie and Cicciolina, she viewed her involvement in the porn industry
as an ideological statement; something through which she could confront
conservative values and educate. "I've never approached the
business the way Ginger Lynn did and Traci Lords did and that whole
crowd. They've made something like a hundred films and videos in
a year in order to make a cash killing. That has never been my point
in being in the adult industry. I felt that it would give me an
excellent platform to speak about sexual matters
That to me
is very, very important. I grew up watching most of my girlfriends
get really ruined because of their lack of sexual education...
