Chloe Camilla is a fascinating woman. If you are a fan of Kink.com you will no doubt have seen her there but, unless you have also been to her website, you probably won’t know that porn is only a small part of what she does. Chloe is cute, multi-talented and has an extremely interesting career and I am so excited that she has accepted to be interviewed for ForceFantasy.com!

Charlotte Gatto: You describe yourself as a “queer femme-inist sex educator, sex worker, performance artist, model, and writer”. Which of these roles do you enjoy the most, and why?

Chloe Camilla: I love all of them! I am happiest when I get to write and create performances that reflect my political beliefs and promote learning for both my audiences and me. I feel so grateful that I don’t have to choose and that I have been able to construct a life in which so many important elements of who I am and what I love get to be explored.

CG: It’s true that not everyone can claim to love his or her job. It’s a wonderful thing to enjoy what we are doing all day!

The workshops on your website look fascinating. Which groups of people usually book these workshops? Have you ever had a surprising or funny reaction from someone in attendance?

CC: Thanks! I have taught workshops to all sorts of people – from youth community organizers to medical students, and from nervous college first-years to excited adult swingers. Right now, I’m primarily teaching at adult stores and a variety of sex-positive spaces, but I hope to get back into college and young adult settings soon.

My favorite recent response was from an employee of one of the sex stores at which I taught. She came up to me after my “Girl on Girl” workshop and said, “Before your workshop, I thought I was straight, but now I’m so excited to get out there and try having sex with a woman!” That to me was a huge success!

About a year ago I was looking for a good erotic novel and I found a book called The Toy by Claire Thompson. I was hooked from the very first page, and from there it just got better and better. Even the ending was perfect which is where I find that many erotic stories can be disappointing. I have since re-read The Toy several times, and I think it will be a long time before I grow bored of my favorite paragraphs. Sometimes I just read them quickly before going to sleep, to give me nice dreams…

After reading The Toy, I bought several other of Claire’s novels and I am currently greatly enjoying, Golden Angel. I recently contacted Claire and she very generously agreed to let me interview her. Please feel free to leave comments!

Charlotte: How do people react when you tell them that you write erotica?

Claire Thompson: I have to be very careful who I tell, since I live in a small town and work for a school district. A funny story associated with this is about my kids. They were very young when I first started doing this, and I didn’t want to confuse or upset them by giving them TMI about what Mommy was doing on the computer all the time… So when they did occasionally ask, I said I was editing manuscripts for romance novels. Years passed and nothing more was said. I was somewhat surprised at their lack of curiosity, but passed it off to kids not being interested in their boring old parents.

Well, when my son was 17 and my daughter 14, and I was beginning to achieve a modicum of recognition and success, I decided to tell them. I was driving them to school that morning and I said, “Do you ever wonder about what I do all the time on the computer?” Continue reading »
