Veronica Vera Writes...
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.

Here I remember him fondly in this interview article from back in the day . In all ways he was a pleasure activist – in his art and in his attitude toward sexual freedom. He died surrounded by those he loved. Rest in Pleasure, Ed.…Read More
