Fifteen years behind the scenes of the adult industry teaches you a thing or 69. Like how to light a butthole on a rainy-day porn shoot, how to quickly get cum out of an Airbnb carpet, and the unique pain of having a brutal hangover while having to edit hours of rough blowjob porn. But mostly, it taught me that catering to the mainstream male gaze while working for dodgy dudes who only care about cash becomes soul-crushingly dull after some time. So, I quit. I swapped boredom for balloons and babes with red noses and launched my own clown porn studio… as you do. These days, I work with incredible sex workers to create and commission content that’s silly, sexy and – above all – fun. Forget the vanilla mainstream, we’re serving up rainbow sprinkles and a side of clussy in this online circus.
But first, back to the beginning.
Before I found my true calling in clown porn, I guess you could say that I spent years juggling different roles in the Australian and New Zealand adult industries. You name it, I’ve probably done it – editing, directing, writing, retouching, casting, advertising, brothel and BDSM house management – I have work stories for days! As you can probably imagine, every job had its quirks, like the time I had to clean up after a pro Domme over-enthusiastically spun her submissive a few too many times on the wall-mounted wheel, while in the next room a Mistress accidentally smashed an entire tray of poppers, turning the dungeon into a toxic haze of Jungle Juice and hot vomit.

But, while I learned plenty in the sheer variety of these roles over the years – like the level of extreme retouching that goes into some centrefolds, or my uncanny ability to turn every article heading into some kind of dirty sex pun – I started realising that while there was variety in my day, there was also a lot of monotony and misogyny. I became deathly bored with removing pubic hair stubble and writing my 500th article on how to approach your monogamous wife for a threesome. I started asking myself – where’s the humour? The weirdness? The creativity? Most importantly, where’s the fun? By the time I hit my 15-year mark, I knew I needed to leave the industry or I was going to lose the plot.
In the midst of my very short-lived phase of applying for boring vanilla jobs, my “aha!” moment hit me like a cream pie to the face. I realised I didn’t want to run away from the adult industry or ditch porn. No! I had just lost my love for it and I needed to pivot. It was time to ditch the dudes at the top and be my own Big Top. I was sick of playing it safe. It was time to embrace the weirdness that I was already known for through my art and performance. Clowning had always been a strong theme in my creative work, my personal life and my sex life. I thought, if I’m going off the rails, why not go completely bonkers? Why not start my own studio? A clown porn studio, to be exact.
I started imagining a space where sex workers could explore their most outrageous, creative sides without worrying about catering to mainstream norms. Where they could create the kind of content they wanted to create, while being celebrated for it – and of course, getting paid for it! I began to reach out to other clown creators, discussing ideas and getting my studio off the ground. With each conversation, I realised I wasn’t alone in wanting to break free from the cookie-cutter constraints of the adult industry. And thus, Honkers was born.

What really sets Honkers apart isn’t just the rubber noses, the cream pies, or the creampies – it’s about giving performers the freedom to create the kind of content they’re excited to make, no matter how silly, kinky or downright absurd. These days, I commission a variety of clown content from creators from around the world, buy existing content, as well as shoot content with models in Australia. In this circus, there are not too many limits on what can be imagined or created. Want to juggle dildos while riding a Sybian? Go for it. Want to fist your non binary lover in a ball pit? Please do. Want to sit on a cake or pee on a balloon? I love that for you.
Clowning aside, my ultimate goal is to build a community where performers can make their own rules and express themselves freely without shame or restriction, while connecting with an enthusiastic, open-minded community of clown-lovers who also share a passion for lovingly ludicrous porn. Clown porn isn’t just about sex, it’s about redefining what’s desirable, while also being a cheeky colourful middle finger up to tired tropes and narrow beauty ideals.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to keep growing, collaborating with incredible artists and sex workers, and pushing boundaries with content that’s exciting, creative, outrageous, and of course – fun!
So, strap on a red nose, honk if you’re horny, and hit me up if you’re ever down to clown!
