Sex Geek Confidential: A Conversation with Seska By The Ultimate Degenerate _____________________________________________________________________________________ |
|
|
Tuesday night isn’t a particularly
special time of the week for most people, unless you’re a die-hard Gilmore
Girls fan, or your AA meeting happens to fall on that day. But it’s a very
important event for one young woman in Montreal, because that’s when she
undergoes a stunning transformation from cat lover and Buffy the Vampire
Slayer fan into Seska, amateur internet model and boudoir demon, to put on
another weekly webcam performance, which inevitably concludes with her at
the bottom (or on top) of a pile of sweaty and thoroughly worn-out
manflesh. Sure beats reruns. Like most of her Canadian sisters in sin, Seska rides herd over a variety of projects bearing her name and ‘50s-pinup-pixie likeness. In addition to her amateur sites (seska.com for the horndogs, seska4lovers.com for the couples), she also handles a sex advice column at Homegrown Video, and maintains the Coalition for the Rights of Sex Workers website, an advocacy group maintained by and for sex workers, and Femmerotic Portal at Scarlet Letters. With Canadian wild woman Elsa Bangz (see interview), she’s also one-half of the Coral Lees, a “neo-burlesque troupe” that has earned serious praise in the Montreal press. Oh, and if you happen to wander into a International Wrestling Syndicate event, keep an eye out for the gal in the naughty nurse outfit who’s handing out haymakers – yeah, that’s Seska, too. |

Seska, who along with her husband and frequent co-star James was the subject of the “Women on Top” episode of HBO’s Real Sex: Pornucopia series, took time out of what must the busiest day-to-day schedule on the North American continent to answer our questions on action figures, sex cyborgs, the truth behind the myth of hot teachers, and fart battles. And for that (especially the part about hot teachers), we are extremely grateful.
Actually, we are all cyborgs constructed in a secret lab in the North West Territories. Just as I suspected. So I did some research on the name Seska, and all I could come up with is some character on Star Trek. What’s the origin of the name? I asked my mom the same thing, but she just stared at me with a look of confusion and finally replied, “Who's Seska?” You mentioned on the HBO Pornocopia special that you and your husband James Lee were teachers prior to internet stardom. You realize, of course, that you are perpetuating the hot teacher myth. Actually, I was a teacher, but James worked as a
techie for a marketing research firm. So he perpetuates the “geeks are
obsessed with porn myth. As for the hot teacher myth, studies show that
the hotter the teachers are, the lower the rate of absenteeism. |

Which is why I had perfect attendance all throughout high school. When you were a student, did you have a teacher whom you wish had a web site like yours? Unfortunately, we did not have very many sexy teachers at my high school. Lots of bad cologne was as close to sexy as some were going to get. It was the Eighties, after all. Ouch. Okay, let’s talk about some of the sites that you’re involved with. There’s seska.com, seska4lovers.com, the advice column for Homegrown Video…anything we’re missing? Tell the readers the difference between each of these. Seska.com was my first website. It is your basic personal Amateur porn website. It is a documentation of my real life sexual adventures. Seska 4 Lovers ) is a small free site that is geared towards women and couples. It features articles, essays, erotic fiction and softer picture galleries. I am the SIO (Sexual Information Officer) for the Homegrown Video's website. I love reading and writing about sex. I am a sex geek. Let’s say that the Prime Minister of Canada makes you the Secretary of Adult Sites for the entire country. What changes would you make, and what laws would you pass? |

All Canadian adult websites would have to have at least one set of pictures of squirrels. What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever read or received from a fan? Most of the stuff is pretty benign. Pictures of cocks are very common. But the weirdest stuff is usually requests for custom videos. They have very elaborate scripts. One was for me to be a magician's assistant who had more power than the magician. So after he used his powers on me with simple tricks, I would then turn him into a dog. I was supposed to use a stuffed toy dog and drag it around on a leash. It went on and on.
I don't usually look at my subscribers’ personal data. When I chat with them during my cam shows or correspond with them through email, they frequently use aliases. For all I know, the entire US Senate could have a membership to my site, but if even if I knew I wouldn't tell anyone. The entire U.S. Senate probably does have a membership to your site (except for that Zell Miller guy). So in addition to running all these sites, you’re in the burlesque/cabaret act the Coral Lees with the fabulous Elsa Bangz. Tell us about that – it’s not your typical burlesque show, no? The Coral Lees is a neo burlesque troupe.
We take striptease and fuck it up. We are not snobby burlesque performers
who won't show their boobs. We are comfortable with our porn roots and we
like to bust myths about gals like us. |

And if you weren’t involved in enough side projects, you’re also in wrestling. Please, please explain. It started out as a silly thing to do for kicks. The owner of the Fed (the International Wrestling Syndicate) went to my high school and had heard of my porn site. He thought I could bring some hot chicks to the show. I sent him to talk to my friend Carol Cox and her husband, who have a porn production company, and they all became partners. I wanted to be a part of the shows though, so I asked to be the nurse. Then like The Jeffersons, I moved on up and became the president. For me, it is all about the sexy outfits. If they made a Seska wrestling action figure, what would be included in the package? And if you pressed a button in its back, what would it say? Sexy outfits, obviously. A “wagging finger” to chastise people, and my top would come off at random, inopportune times. |

My George “the Animal” Steele action figure just told me that wants to play with that. Tell us what a quiet evening at home with Seska is like. Does such a thing exist? I love hanging out on the couch, eating chips (Pico Gallo's are my favourite) and watching TV. I was a big Buffy fan and still feel the void. I also like taking hot baths. I am addicted to Lush bath bombs. Tuesday nights, though, are debauchery night. I do my weekly webcam show and have a whole lot of fun. Are we correct in noting that laundry is something of an obsession? I'm sorry. I'm kind of busy doing laundry. What was the question? We promised that we would be kind regarding the music you like. What’s in constant rotation at Casa di Seska? My boyfriend makes fun of me by saying I am one of those Women & Song chicks. It is true, but I also like Cake, Matthew Good, No Doubt, and ‘80s compilations (old REM, The Cure, and any stuff that allows me to work my classic ‘80s dance moves). I am sure if you were to put all my CDs together, you'd find it at the “crap section” of the music store. |

Hypothetical: Which is the better way to settle an argument: street fight or roller derby? Roller derby, of course. That way, you also have a paying audience. Brilliant! Which Canadian musician deserves to be banished from your country? Fortunately, Celine Dion already lives in Las Vegas and Florida, but the Canadian government needs to make it official and ban her. Hypothetical: all Canadians must celebrate your birthday. What rites and ceremonies do you require to be properly feted? |
|
It would include celebrating all the things I love: Thai food, fuzzy animals, foot worship, and skinny-dipping (though my birthday is in February, so they could do that part in the summer).
Quite recently. My husband and I often have a battle of the farts. That is evil with a capital E. Since we just survived the holidays, what was at the top of your want list? And do you always get what you want? Kitchen appliances. I might be the only woman who is actually happy when she receives a toaster as a gift. I don't always get what I want from my husband. We've been together long enough for him to know all my tricks. Fortunately, my boyfriend still gives in to most of my demands. If readers want to send you e-mails, letters, pledges of devotion, fingers, where and how can they do it?
They can email me at seska@seska.com, but they can only send me fingers if they are made of tofu. Anything that doesn't fit in an email can be sent to: C.P. 686 - Victoria Station - Westmount, PQ - H3Z 2Y7 - Canada We’ll leave it up to you, dear reader, to determine what does and doesn’t fit in an email, as well as how one makes fingers from tofu. Merci, Seska. |
