Pussy Possessed: A Conversation with David “Pussyman” Christopher
As
director, Christopher also created some of the first interracial titles to
feature white men with black women, and has extended his unholy influence to the
internet, where he maintains a cornucopia of kinks on
pussyman.com. His latest online
venture is deviantdavid.com,
which puts him at front and center in a no-holds-barred orgy of “extreme” pussy
and ass worship. It’s enough to break men half his age, but Christopher has
clearly figured out the secret to a long and fruitful career as a pervert: it’s
the pussy, man. |

King Baboon Tarantula: First and foremost, please explain the joys of pussy and ass worship to the uninitiated. David Christopher: Pussy and ass worship is the ultimate sexual ritual in the worship of female sexual power. The gorgeous shape of the pussy and ass together is captivating and enticing to a true devotee such as myself. The smell, taste and feel make men do many things. Words cannot really capture the magic that permeates from this special area. KBT: So give us the thumbnail history of David Christopher as he transforms from Bernard Cohen, average citizen, to adult film actor in the early ‘70s. David Christopher: Being from a small town in Massachusetts, I was fascinated with New York City. It was the time of the sexual and cultural revolution and NYC was at the forefront, with eros pouring out of its veins. I always felt that I was meant to be in the business of conveying my message on sexuality. Filmmakers were stirring the nation with their strong messages concerning war, sex, religion and culture. Anyway, while getting my masters’ degree, I began working as a production assistant on a number of different kinds of film projects (commercials, independents and adult). |
 DC can't believe it either, really. |

All the time, I really wanted to have something to do with the Sex business. I would visit strip theaters and the original X-rated movie theaters. I would worship the Female Sex Godess on stage and on the screen. One day, my roommate, who was working as a PA on a new project, informed me that he was working on a shoot entitled Portrait, which would be directed by Gerard Damiano of Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones fame. Portrait was to star Jody Maxwell, “The Singing Cocksucker from Kansas City.” She performed a sexual trick in which she would suck two males simultaneously and at the same time sing “How Much Is That Doggy In The Window.” (1) I, of course, was to be one of the males and that was my initial entrance into the business. KBT: A lot of writers, especially younger ones who are experiencing ‘70s and ‘80s porn via DVD, tend to paint that period as the “Golden Age” of porn – what’s your take on that? David Christopher: I don’t know about the “Golden Age,” but performers were more intellectual, artistic, real and passionate about their sexuality. People wanted to enjoy all types of sex and were willing to experiment and create. Performers tended to be more adept at acting as they thought this might be a stepping stone to a real TV or film career. In addition, all of the filmmaking was done in either NYC or San Francisco, the most liberal and artistic of all U.S. cities.
And the movies and
performances reflected the temperment and attitudes of these twin cities.
When video became the mainstay of the business in the early ‘80s, L.A.
became the capital of the adult business. The girls were prettier, the
weather was spectacular, and the look started to become more important
than the substance. The movies started to become a reflection of
L.A.
and its lifestyle. The scenes, which are the most important part of a sex
movie, have always been both extremely hot in all periods, and extremely
not sexually enticing dependent upon who performs and who knows how
to direct people in performing to a heightened state of arousal. In
today’s market, sex is both a taboo and an everyday act. Generations of
people now have seen sex depicted in our society form an early age and
have a different look and attitude than previous times. There is always a
tendency to put days of old in either a "golden time" or in other cases a
miserable time. |

KBT: You appeared in several films for Avon, including The Taming of Rebecca and Kneel Before Me – what’s your recollection of that company, especially its notorious director Phil Prince? (2)
KBT: Do you have a favorite of your films as an actor? David Christopher: Anything with Veri Knotty (she had the largest pussy lips ever - along with Candy Cotton), and anything with big titted performers or ones who shaved their genital area. In those days, women for the most part did not trim their pubes. As a result when I would see the actual pussy lips with clitoris, I would become extremely aroused. KBT: What are your recollections on the following people? You can go into as much detail as you like. |

- Shaun Costello (director whose credits include such extreme titles as Forced Entry, Water Power, and Dominatrix Without Mercy; directed David in The Untamed Vixens and She’s No Angel, both ‘76) David Christopher: I remember he was an actor who began directing. Probably one of the first, unlike today when a performer becomes a so- called director. - Joe Davian (Israeli roughie director whose credits include House of De Sade and The Night of Submission, which David appeared in): David Christopher: I performed and wrote some seedy scripts for him. He made dark and creepy movies, if I remember correctly. KBT: Which movies? David Christopher: The scripts for Davian were basically written after the told me what he wanted. They did not have the title of the finished movie on the script. The name of the movie was always different from the script title. - Carter Stevens (actor and director who went from straightforward hardcore like Honeymoon Haven and Punk Rock to S&M and fetish video) |

David Christopher: He was into S&M and moved into that field after making a number of high budget films that I was in like Rollerbabies (and Twilite Pink, ’81). - Chuck Vincent (hardcore director who segued into lowbudget exploitation in the ‘80s, including Hollywood Hot Tubs; died from AIDS in 1991; directed David in Visions, ’77, and This Lady is a Tramp, ’80) David Christopher: He wanted to make movies that were for a regular audience. Since he was gay, he made movies from that perspective. He cared about acting and the story more than the sex. - Bobby Astyr (prolific porn actor of the ‘70s and longtime companion to Samantha Fox; dubbed “the Clown Prince of Porn” for his broad performances, he died in 2002) David Christopher: He was a funny Jewish comic who had a knack for performing as a character in sex movies. He was a good actor. - Annette Haven (stunning and classy star of Barbara Broadcast, 8 to 4, and many others; co-starred with David in Armand Weston’s Take Off) David Christopher: A gorgeous real beauty from San Francisco who reflected the evolution of the new erotica of that city.
David Christopher: The most talented actor and performer from that period. A tremendous sex and kink addict who actually loved all kinds of sex and women. Was as wild off the screen as on the screen. In addition, a very intellectual and artistic person - Gerard Damino (director of Deep Throat, many others; directed David in his first film, Portrait, ’74, and Joint Venture, ’77) David Christopher: The first director I performed for, and the first director to whom I was an assistant before I began directing myself. He was an excellent director who cared about his movies. He cared about the talent and the script, and wanted to achieve the best movie that he could possibly make. - Cecil Howard (producer, Babylon Pink, October Silk; director, Neon Nights, Firestorm, others; directed David in Heat Wave, ’77) David Christopher: Another director who wanted to make real movies and at times, he achieved that goal. He began as a producer and owner of films before he got the directing bug. - Vanessa Del Rio (legendary performer, “The Latin from Manhattan”; co-starred with David in numerous films) David Christopher: The Latin bombshell with one of the largest clits ever. She was extremely hot and was a natural sex performer. I performed with her not only in films but live on stage. She was great all the time. - Long Jean Silver (see review of Long Jean Silver) David Christopher: A crazy and wild gal who performed with one peg leg, or stump, as she called it. She used it as a sexual device and performed many kinky and wild acts. She was a hot and pretty girl; I remember performing live with her on stage at the aforementioned Avon. KBT: What are your recollections of the live shows? Were they anything like what’s portrayed in the Avon movie Pain Mania? (3) David Christopher: In regards to the live shows, I guess they were somewhat like the movie. I just remember them being wilder. And as I said, they were SRO all the time. I remember performing with Goddess Candice, who was my girlfriend at the time, and Long Jeanne Silver. There might have been more, but those two stand out in my mind. - Ron Jeremy (appeared with David in many films, both during the Avon period and afterwards)
David Christopher:
We all know Ron.
I first met him on an audition, where he bragged to me that he could suck
his own cock (which he did in numerous films). At that time, Ron was thin
and always wanted to be a superstar. He was always on the phone and would
eat everything in sight. He was a fine actor and performer. I remember him
as the first person who would constantly travel between the west and east
coast doing movies. We were two of the first actors to direct when the
video business began. He would be in my movies and I would be in movies he
directed while he was in NYC. He was a natural talent who never stopped
hustling and looking to be famous. |

- Veri Knotty (famous for her stage and movie trick of tying her labia into a knot; starred in Avon productions with David) David Christopher: The hottest babe in the business in the late ‘70s. She was my type of woman – a curvaceous, big breasted wild woman who loved all types of sex. She was the first wild and kinky model that I met who loved wearing thigh high boots and outrageous outfits. I had numerous hot and wild scenes with her. I al so remember her dancing at the first all nude strip clubs in NYC. She was a great dancer and I am one of the biggest voyeurs of all time, so we got along just fine. I remember performing with her in a number of special 8mm loops. -Robert Kerman (a.k.a. R. Bolla; star of such non-hardcore films as Cannibal Holocaust) David Christopher: He was a talented actor but to me, not a strong sex performer. If there was a role with lots of dialogue or he had to be a character, he was the man. -Annie Sprinkle (kink legend turned performance artist; a frequent participant with David in Avon movies) David Christopher: One of the true artists of sexuality. She was into the heightened evolvement of the human being. She was a giant breasted, big ass sex star who was really a sex star. |

She went later into theatre performance, and showed her entire sex career with pictures, slides and a whole movie presentation. She was real and was a a sexual experimenter and emancipator. KBT: Okay, which Pussyman product should I buy if I’m an anti-social degenerate living alone in my one-room cold water flat (like many of our readers)? David Christopher: Get Pussyman’s Favorite Pussy, a novelty item from Doc Johnson. It’s a replica of my favorite pussy -- no kidding. KBT: Your new venture is deviantdavid.com. What’s the low-down, and what can freaks expect to find there? David Christopher: deviantdavid.com is an extreme facesitting site about me (dirty old man) who is addicted to and worships big asses and gorgeous pussies. He is suffocated and humiliated by gorgeous wild sex stars (including Bree Olson, Eva Angelina, Gianna Lynn, and Sleazegrinder favorite Katja Kassin – KBT). He is forced to be smothered and to clean all the holes of the adult stars. What a tough job. KBT: It’s better than mine. David Christopher: Much of the facesitting action actually takes place in the bathroom, where the sex goddess cuts off my air by sitting on me over the toilet. It’s wild, erotic and filthy action, and fans of mine will love it. Also take a look at Pussyman.com, which has many genres featuring my scenes from the last number of years. Both sites contain brand new stuff, and the Deviant David site has exclusive new material and extreme ass and pussy worship scenes. KBT: You mentioned in an interview that you found the current crop of female adult talent to be more business-like than the ones you worked with in the ‘80s. Does this opinion still stand? David Christopher: What I meant was that today’s adult stars come to perform sex in the scene, get their money and quickly leave. In the past the talent seemed to actually like sex more than today. The current females may know more about sex and their bodies than ever, and they do try to go over the top (in order to impress and stand out), but they don’t seem to enjoy it as act of eroticism as they did in the past. Or perhaps it is just a different attitude as a result of today’s world and the instant gratification of electronic mediums that overwhelm everyone. KBT: For female readers who feel they’re ready to tangle with a true deviant like yourself, what should they bring to the party? And what should they expect? David Christopher: Females should bring their desire to find out what kind of sexual energies they can discover. They should bring a passionate mind and a sense of confidence. And they should expect a tremendous experience, one they will never forget. KBT: What’s a typical evening at Casa de Pussyman like? David Christopher: -Well, I finish up with some of the daily business, break for some light dinner, some drink, and some great smoke. Then maybe some music or some satellite action, maybe a DVD. Then time for the computer terminal, some guests, a few dinners at some favorite restauraunts. And later some R&R. Sometimes I just hang with my dogs and watch a movie. I also like to read late at night. I’m just a regular guy who’s obsessed by pussy. Hence, Pussyman. KBT: Is it still fun to be in this business? David Christopher: The business is still fun and engaging in certain aspects, but it’s definitely more cutthroat and not quite as engaging as in the past. But being the sexual being that I am,watching gorgeous and sexual women is never a bad thing. KBT: How can fans contact you to pay the proper respect? David Christopher: They can contact me at myspace.com/deviantdavid or at David@deviantdavid.com. KBT: Thank you, Pussyman, for everything.
(1) Fans can see Ms. Maxwell perform a similar trick on one lucky gent in Blue Underground’s Midnight Blue. Vol. 4: Freaks and Geeks DVD.
(2) A former employee at the Avon Theater, Prince went on to direct some of Avon Films’ most disturbing films, including Savage Sadists, Tales from the Bizarre, Oriental Techniques in Pain and Pleasure, and Dr. Bizarro. Prince later did time in 1983 for the robbery and attempted murder of an ice cream store manager. He was released in 1990, and his whereabouts today are the topic of much internet gossip.
(3) Pain Mania (1983) was Prince’s mondo-style faux documentary about the live stage shows at the Avon Theater, and featured interviews with and performances by Avon mainstays like Annie Sprinkle, Alan Adrian, Dave Ruby, and Mistress Candice. Footage from the film was later incorporated into Avon Films’ Oriental Techniques in Pain and Pleasure.
