EDITOR’S
NOTE
It turns out “The Queen of Pussy” also is the “The Queen of To Do Lists.”
When the three-time AVN All-Girl Performer of the Year Charlotte Stokely wants to
accomplish something, it would be wise to just stay out of her way.
“I learned that if something needs to get done, just do it!” Charlotte tells me.
One would be hard-pressed to find a performer more proactive than Stokely, who is working
on three books in between creating content, headlining big-budget features and teaching a
Sex-Ed Masterclass for an audience of a hundred thousand this month.
It’s all part of a remarkable progression for the Penthouse Pet and former American Apparel
model who will celebrate her 17-year anniversary in adult entertainment in August.
In between studying to become a certified health coach and sex educator, she managed
to three-peat as the top all-girl star in porn—and recently shared some personal news about
her relationship with fellow performer Will Pounder, the 2020 AVN Best Male Newcomer.
“Will has provided me a safe space to completely be myself without filter and opened
doors of intimacy I had long kept closed to focus on my career,” says Charlotte, who moved
from L.A. to Las Vegas this summer. “He’s very supportive of my goals and he’s my best
friend. We spend our free time laughing and having fun no matter what we’re doing. We’re
a team and now we’re engaged!”
A holistic healer for more than six years, Charlotte says she tends to avoid watching scary
movies because of how much she feels.
“I’m highly empathic, so seeing people in pain whether physically, emotionally, or mentally
it really gets to me—I feel their suffrage,” she says. “I know it’s just a movie so sometimes
I’ll focus on the camera angles and lighting during uncomfortable scenes to distract me or
think, ‘Wow, the prosthetics are really good!’
“I also don’t want the things I see in movies to leak into my dreams. Happy thoughts,
happy dreams. I’m a big fan of inner peace.”
