In this unprecedented new series from award winning author and filmmaker Tristan Taormino, the scenes are based entirely on the real fantasies of female performers, which run the gamut from dominance to submission. Through deeply personal interviews, you’ll discover their definitions of rough sex, why they love it, how they establish trust with their partners, and what they need to feel safe to play on the edge. With scenes that are part documentary and part erotic vignette, Rough Sex dares to challenge conventional wisdom about the fantasy lives of women.
Starring Sasha Grey, Francesca Le, Marie Luv, Adrianna Nicole, Satine Phoenix, Marco Banderas, Christian, Julius Ceazher, Derrick Pierce, and Danny Wylde

Tristan Taormino is an author, columnist, editor, pornographic film director (and occasional actress) and self-styled "anal sexpert." She graduated Phi Beta Kappa with her Bachelor's degree in American Studies from Wesleyan University in 1993.
Taormino is the author of four books, including the Firecracker Book Award-winning The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women.
Taormino says about her sexuality, "I don't really identify with the label 'bisexual,' nor does it feel like it accurately describes me...I see myself as queer, since queer to me is not just about who I love or lust, but it's about my culture, my community, and my politics. The truth is, even if I were with a heterosexual guy, I'd be a queer dyke."
Taormino stated in an online interview, "I identify strongly as queer and as a dyke, because, as I have said before, it's not just about who I fuck and love, being queer is also about my politics, my culture, my community, and the way I see the world. People want to call me bisexual or pansexual or whatever, but I believe in people's power to self-identity."
In addition, "she describes herself as 'equal opportunity.' She doesn't like the word 'bisexual' -- it's too polarizing."
