Praise for INSATIABLE - Porn: A Love Story by Asa Akira:

"Akira is not only passionate about the porn industry, she’s shameless, funny and even endearing."
-Susannah Cahalan, New York Post (Best Books of 2014)

“An intimate look at her life. Each chapter is filled with brutal honesty and self-deprecating humor. It’s touching, inspiring, and flies in the face of a lot of people’s preconceptions about the life of an adult film star. What’s most refreshing is that the high points of the book aren’t the double-penetration and masturbation scenes—even though that stuff is great—it’s her strong storytelling, which makes her struggles and triumphs in the adult film industry super relatable.”
-Erica Euse, Vice

"It is common for mainstream porn stars to explain their choice of profession with some variation on “I just love sex. . . . When Asa Akira says it, though, I really believe it. . . . And yet, no person can act as the flawless representative for an entire group of people — and certainly not while writing a memoir worth reading. Luckily, Akira doesn’t try to do that with her book. . . . All of which is to say, her book is a lot like her porn: raw, brutal and always unflinching.”
-Tracy Clark-Flory, Salon.com

"Candid, funny, sexy, and smart...Akira expertly explores the human side of the sex industry...Shocking and tawdry, but ultimately relatable, this is a tale of a young girl realizing her dreams and navigating dangerous temptations (drugs, hooking, pizza) along the way."
-Royal Young, Interview Magazine

"Insatiable is, at turns, laugh-out loud funny...poignant...and outrageously politically incorrect...But above all else, it’s a brutally honest look at one woman’s journey through the adult industry."
-EJ Dickson, The Daily Dot

Unusual

This book was a little bit much for my tastes. Some of the scenes were too freaky. I don’t relish having someone pee on me nor would I want to
Pee on another person. I did recommend this book to my boyfriend as he just recently began reading erotic literature. I am hoping to begin writing in this genre myself in the near future

Book 54/150 for the year. 2 star read. This collection of erotica featured short stories written by a host of the most recognizable porn stars in the world at the time of Publication in 2017. The stories were fine for what they were that being cheap illicit erotica. The stories were tied to the various fetishes that each author has. Therefore, there were stories that were included that were too much and a bit weird for my reading tastes.

The style rarely ever rises above your typical college writing workshop, but when your classmates are Casey Calvert, Kayden Kross, Angela White, and all the others you know from the commons of your search history... well sir, you can do worse.

Interesting mix of stories. Definitely a twist on garden variety romance / erotica (and not just in a kinky way)

[Nerita · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some stories were truly worth reading but other were like: dafuq is happening?

[Alegria · Rating 5 out of 5]

I give 5 stars because I support SWs till I die, but I think I enjoyed about 2-3 of the stories overall. I’m sorry 😭

Knocking it down one 💫 because every man in this story was 6’5” dressed in expensive suits that looked like they were painted on their 0% body fat bodies. As a member of the (very) under 6 foot tall club, I must say reading all that was very triggering and traumatic for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕

Special shout out to Angela White, Missy Martinez, Abella Danger, Charlotte Cross, Kira Noir and Casey Calvert for their exceptional contributions.
