She's more than just a pretty face.
By Lola Stark — Written on Jul 15, 2017
Yes, I'm a married female who still enjoys watching pornography. Is there something wrong with me? Hell no! I may be married but I'm still human.
I don't normally learn the names of the porn stars I watch, not for lack of caring, but because I usually have so much information in my head at any given moment, that focusing on a name may prevent me from actually hitting a home run (if you know what I mean).
But I recently learned of Asa Akira, and hot damn, this woman is just unbelievably sexy. So, of course, I had to learn EVERYTHING about her.
(For example, even though she was born in NYC, Asa spent a good chunk of her adolescence in Japan, attending American schools.)
And, because I'm pretty badass, I'm going to share some of the vital info I learned about Asa with you lovely people — along with a few pictures of Asa too, because have I mentioned already that she's scorching HOT?
So sit back, relax, and let's get to it!
1. Is Asa Akira really a porn star?
YES! Asa Akira, often dubbed the "anal queen" was offered some work when she met porn actress Gina Lynn on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show. Gina Lynn Productions produced her Asa's first boy-girl sex scene. After that, she was offered a contract with Vouyor Media. She has been signed exclusively with Wicked Pictures since 2014.
2. Is she a lesbian?
Though she has plenty of girl-on-girl sex scenes, she is not a lesbian in her personal life. Asa has stated that though she finds "girls that look like boys" attractive, she doesn't identify as bisexual.
In fact, Asa Akira is married to fellow porn star and director, Toni Ribas, and they are in a monogamous relationship, despite their line of work. GO THEM!
3. What is Asa Akira's net worth?
According to The Richest, Asa is worth $1.5 million. Not too bad, right?
4. OK, so do porn stars have award shows like the Oscars?
The AVN (Adult Video News) Award show celebrates those who work in the porn industry. And let me tell you, Asa Akira has been CELEBRATED!
In 2011, Asa took home the following AVN awards for Elegant Angel's Asa Akira Is Insatiable:
- Best Anal Sex Scene,
- Best Three-Way Sex Scene (G/B/B),
- Best Double Penetration Sex Scene,
- Fan Award for Favorite Movie.
She also won Best All-Girl Three-Way Sex Scene from Elegant's Buttwoman vs. Slutwoman. (The titles of these movies KILL ME.)
In 2012, Asa won the following AVN Awards:
- Best Anal Scene,
- Best All Sex Release,
- Best DP Scene,
- Best Group Scene,
- Best Solo Sex Scene,
- Best Tease Performance,
- Best Three-way Sex Scene.
In 2013, Asa Akira served as one of the co-hosts of the awards ceremony as well as winning:
- Female Performer of the Year,
- Best Showcase Movie,
- Best DP Scene,
- Best Group Sex Scene,
- Best POV Scene,
- Three-way Sex Scene.
Here's Asa Akira taking some sexy pictures and showing off her red carpet fashion at the 2016 XBIZ Awards:
5. Is she really a successful author?
TOTALLY!
Both her books have been very well received. Her first memoir, Insatiable: Porn—A Love Story, was released in 2014. (YourTango interviewed Asa about her book when it was first published.)
Her follow up, Dirty Thirty, was just released in July of 2016. You definitely need to check them out.
So, remember, she's not just a pretty face. Asa Akira is EVERYTHING!
