LOS ANGELES—Adult film star Tasha Reign is heading to the University of California Santa Barbara to discuss consent, sexual boundaries, and more. She will speak at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house during a special appearance at 7 p.m. today.
Much like her recent panels at UCLA’s and UCSD’s AEPi houses, the event is not open to the public, but Reign and other adult film stars are accepting bookings to speak about consent and provide sex education at higher education institutions nationwide.

“I’m very excited to hit Isla Vista and UCSB’s AEPi house to discuss the importance of active consent and how to navigate personal sexual boundaries,” Reign said. “At a time when students are seeing conflicting messages about sex on social media, online sites, television and elsewhere, it’s important to cut through the clutter bring a better understanding of being responsible and respectful. I am very grateful to AEPi for having me and supporting this effort to bring this discussion about consent and responsible behaviors with the opposite sex to campus."
With a rise in incidents of sexual assault, rape, and sexual harassment on college campuses around the country, Reign and others have been speaking out to raise awareness on the importance of consent and respect.
“We’re very pleased to have Tasha Reign join us and bring her insight and keen perspective about respect and consent to our members and fellow students,” the fraternity said in a statement. “We at AEPi share Tasha’s concern for students as they navigate the world interpersonal relationships in the midst of a challenging academic environment and their own efforts for personal growth.”
A 2014 UCLA graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Women’s Studies, Reign has been outspoken about her support for women’s rights and women’s sexual freedom as well as an advocate for normalizing sexuality and advancing the rights of sex workers. She took an active role in helping defeat the anti-porn Prop. 60 last year by campaigning vigorously and raising awareness through the media, as noted in The Guardian last fall.
In addition to being published in notable mainstream media outlets such as Huffington Post, Al Jazeera America, BroBible.com, and OC Weekly, Reign has also participated in a number of panel discussions and presentations at college campuses. Moreover, her writings have been featured in such collegiate websites as Total Sorority Move and BroBible. Reign’s time at UCLA has been profiled in the school’s paper, The Daily Bruin, as well as LA Weekly, and other publications.
A Penthouse Pet and a contract star for iWantEmpire after serving as an Elegant Angel exclusive performer, Reign is a sought-after speaker, performer, and director, as well as continuing to tour the country as a feature dancer. Despite her busy schedule, Reign continues to direct and produce original content for her popular tashareign.com site while remaining very active with her fans whom she calls her "Reigndeer" on social media.
As the newly-elected Chairperson of Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC), a workplace safety advocacy group for adult performers, Reign is dedicating herself to fighting for the rights of adult performers as well as all women.
Meanwhile, Reign plans to attend graduate school in the fall where she will focus on writing and journalism.
