Natassia Dreams: On Fashion, Dating, and P*nis Obsession
We recorded this right before we did the Luis DeJavier fashion show, and Asa didn’t know regular people use pasties. “Trans” is one of the top searched terms in porn again, according to the Pornhub Year-in-Review data. What’s a “penis fetish?” Why are dudes so obsessed with dicks? Why is it sometimes easier to express yourself when you’re being recorded on-camera? It’s been a year since Natassia got her brand new p*ssy - she was gracious enough to tell us: what does it feel like??? Is it different to shoot content? Whats the recovery process like? PLUS we talk about a bunch of stuff we weren’t allowed to be talking about OOPS LOLOL
