Cannibal Head Hunting

Anita Cannibal proclaimed loudly to one and all last week at the East Coast Video Show that she had turned slut. Proving that it wasn't just something in the Atlantic Ocean water, Cannibal repeated herself when she got back to California. Cannibal, a psychology major in college, has been in the adult business 2 1/2 years. She says she's grown. "The business has been my classroom," she comments. "I had no idea what I was going to learn, and I had no idea the answers were going to come to me in questions that I didn't even know. I had no idea that sex could be taken to the places that I've experienced on camera and off."

Cannibal: "I've been wanting to do anal for awhile. Probably five months. Recently, I'm single. I was living with Bill [Margold] for the first year and felt well protected. I was with Bud [Lee] for a year and a half and felt well protected there. Because I was in a relationship. Swinging wasn't part of my lifestyle. Now that I'm single, Whoa. I get to do all this stuff. I've been wanting anyway to take it 'there' sexually. There's things that girls have told me that I haven't experienced, like the d.p.'s and how it feels and what it's like. And the anal sex, and the orgasms that you can feel and where it takes you.

" Seymore Butts' eyes roll in the back of his head when he talks about some of the experiences that anal sex gives people. I've passed out on camera before from an orgasm. I didn't black out, but I lost time and space reality."

Cannibal says one instance occurred on Deep Throat: The Quest 2. "It was the last scene. It was like the gonzo section of the movie," she recalls. "They had put me on the box and forgot to put me in the movie. So they put that in the movie that I was yelling at Bud. So we did this little scene. It was Bud's first scene back in 11 years. It was Rad. The part where I came so hard, I passed out was doggie style on a chair. I think he was fingering me and massaging my G-spot. And I was playing with my clit furiously. We had been working up to this for about an hour. I started to come, and he reached around and grabbed my neck and pulled it back. I came so hard. I just lost it. I swear to God it was like somebody put drugs in my pussy and it was hitting my bloodstream. It was so different. It was like being in the dentist's chair. I swear five minutes passed before this feeling was resolved. Then I came out of it and wondered what the fuck happened. And it was cool because it was on camera. I'll have that until I'm 85 or whatever.

"And I know there are other experiences like that," she says. Cannibal said she experienced something like that similarly when she sucked Julian's cock. "It was the blazing hot sun," she relates. "I was deep-throating his cock. It went down my throat and it was happening again from sucking his dick. The only way I can explain that was maybe it closed off a section to my spinal cord fluid. Whatever. But I was going there. That was cool. It's like every set I learn something. And I want to learn more. I love being touched - all over. It's so nasty. You can't walk around on the street and get that kind of sensation.

Cannibal: "Now I'm looking for a hungry man, auditions in the back. I don't know who I'm going to pick or how I'm going to do it."

Cannibal says she can't explain her breakup with Lee. She can't even say whether it was a mutual-thing. "I don't know. I love him to pieces. I'd be with him today. I think maybe it was our lifestyles were different. But he needs to go do his thing right now in his life. What you see is what you get with me. I'm really real. How deep I go is how deep I am. There's no facades going on. I really AM happy. And I love it. I'm allowed to be a slut, take risks and go nude skydiving."

Cannibal says neither jealousy nor the common problems generally associated with industry relationships came into the picture with her and Lee. "It wasn't like, yeah, I'm going on the road to fuck all these deejays or whatever. I'm not that shallow."

She talks about a gig he just did recently in Oakland. "The place was wild. I was hosting a strip contest in a lifestyles resort/hotel. It was crazy, watching people ten-deep fuck in the rooms. It was so cool. They asked me to come back next year."

According to Cannibal, Kim Chambers got her into porn. And car trouble got her into dancing. Cannibal was on her way back from Woodstock '94 taking a scenic route through Toronto, Ontario when her '69 Chevy went kablooey. "I knew somebody there who fixed cars," she says. "I said great, now how am I going to get the money to have it fixed. I checked out the newspapers wondering if I should or shouldn't [dance]. I did it and made $900 at $5 a table dance. You stood on these big old nasty boxes which strippers carried around. This was old school strip.

"I was tripping," she said. "My God, I have a bachelor's degree. I was working in my field [psychology] and excelling. But the universities lied to me for five years telling me about all these high paying jobs. Then when I danced and made $900...then within a few months I met Kim. I was making a $1,000 a night because it was nude lap dancing WITH alcohol. But Kim told me not to do porn yet. She saw me make $800 in five hours. I took her advice, but a lot of things changed up there. Legalized prostitution wiped out lap dancing. Then I came down and started doing movies."

Cannibal: "The weird thing was I was calling Kimmy and writing to Kimmy for year at Bill Margold's place not knowing who this guy was. It wasn't until I met Bill at the CES that I realized I was sending letters to his address. I never made the connection. I think that was ironic, but that's why I stayed with Bill. I don't believe in coincidences like this happening."
