Tomie Tang tells AVN she may be new to studio porn, but she’s no stranger to creating adult content.
The former stripper and journalist started making “sex tapes” during quarantine in 2020 and has performed in more than 100 scenes for her fan sites in the past two-and-a-half years.
“When everyone started quarantining in 2020, the clubs closed, and I lost my other jobs, too,” Tang explains. “I had to figure out something quickly. I had worked at the strip club with my friends Sidney Summers and Emma Magnolia, and when the clubs closed, they both hopped on OnlyFans right away and strongly encouraged me to do the same.
“It took me some time to get comfortable with the idea, but eventually, I started in August 2020, and I’ve never looked back!”
The Korean American performer at press time had completed four studio scenes—two for Reality Kings, one for Mofos, and one for the queer indie studio Crashpad—with plans to do many more.
Now represented by Nexxxt Level Talent, Tomie says she has always loved storytelling and connecting with people—which inspired her to go for it in adult.
“That’s why I spent a lot of time writing and initially pursued a career in journalism,” says Tang, who also is a former NPR reporter. “I’m interested in evoking powerful emotions and experiences from an audience. Adult entertainment can also be a platform for artistic expression, with its own unique themes and subjects.
“I also saw a chance to challenge societal norms and stigmas, explore diverse and unique sexual experiences, and bring my own individuality to a rapidly evolving industry.”
She describes herself as someone who is always trying to find humor in any situation.
“I’m pretty laid back and open-minded—I go with the flow of things and like to stay curious about other peoples’ experiences and perspectives,” Tomie says. “I would say that while I’m very playful, fun-loving, and social. I’m pretty introspective, and I really value solitary activities and recharging in my own space.”
When Tang performs, she sets out to convey a blend of “sensuality, authenticity and open- mindedness.”
“My main goal is to create a genuine connection with my audience and show off my individuality,” she says. “I also believe in embracing diversity and inclusivity and celebrating the uniqueness of each individual.”
Tang says one of her favorite scenes so far is an orgy she did with four transgender women and two cis men.
“They all came inside me,” Tomie reveals. “It was an exhilarating, incredibly sexy experience. I had never taken so many creampies at once before. It was super hot, and I felt blissfully submissive.”
Tomie says what she likes most about her career choice is “the incredible people.”
“The adult industry gives me many opportunities to come out of my comfort zone and have unique, memorable experiences,” she tells AVN. “I feel like working in the adult industry made me more sexually confident and in touch with my own sexuality and sexual desires.”
