The world’s foremost sexual acrobats perform on brightly lit, Los Angeles sound stages and present themselves with an openness that most of us would never dream of. But when the lights flick off, pornstars are just people, cleaning spunk off their bodies with baby wipes, wondering what’s going to be served for lunch.

Someone has to blend the erotic and severe, to flagrantly display society’s id. Aaron Thompson, known by the pseudonym Small Hands,knows this better than anyone.
