Tristan Taormino & Sasha Grey Get Rough w/ Vivid

LOS ANGELES — Vivid Entertainment is looking to punch up people’s sex lives with the release of Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex, shipping to distributers July 15. Industry darling Sasha Grey headlines the sex-ed video.

The feature finds Taormino mixing frank discussion with role-play to explore the idea of rough sex as “sexy, empowering and even feminist.”  The AVN award-winning director strong-armed Sasha Grey into performing a “switch” scene in the movie, something the high-profile starlet enjoys on her downtime.

“When I approached Sasha Grey to do the movie, I knew she had already done lots of rough sex on camera; she’s never been afraid to explore her submissive desires,” said Taormino. “But one thing she has never done on camera until now is a “switch” scene, where she switches between the dominant and submissive roles. Sasha is a switch in real life, so this was an opportunity to explore a real part of her sexuality.”

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex also stars Adrianna Nicole, Marie Luv, Satine Phoenix, Francesca Le, Derrick Pierce, Christian, Marco Banderas, Danny Wylde and Julius Ceazher.

The DVD arrives in stores on July 22. To order, contact Howard Levine at [email protected] or at 818-435-1607.
