Welcome To The World Of Miss Veronica Vera

In my 40+ years as author, artist, sex worker, activist – and now a Doctor of Human Sexuality -I have led the life of a sexual libertine, chronicling the most outre corners of the NYC sex scene and the lovable outlaws and eccentrics who were its key players. As an adult movie star, I used my body as well as my words to develop my life as an ‘arthole’ liberating and empowering myself and others. In 1989, I founded the world’s first transgender and cross-dressing academy as a safe place for people to explore gender expression. The theories and realizations that I came to via my tireless and often raunchy research have proven to be even more relevant today. That is why I have decided to share my archives here on this site, as well as excerpts from my upcoming memoir, Bare Witness.

(1985)The ladies are out in full force tonight. But then they are always out walking the streets. They stand on the corners in certain districts of Manhattan dressed in less than the bare minimum of clothing. Their short skirts just cover their asses, their spandex pants leave no room for air. Sometimes in the winter…Read More
