Karma Rx is an anarchist at heart, and not just when she’s peddling her Anarchist Soap Co. products on Etsy, where she has sold over 12,000 colognes, pomades, candles, hoodies and soaps with made-for-badasses names like The Outlaw, The Mobster and The Heretic. She is an anarchist made flesh, a capitalist with a generous philanthropic streak and a fuck-your-definitions rebel who is liable to piss off the sanctimonious evangelical pricks on the right and the hypocritical commie killjoys on the left.
No brand of identity politics, religious shame, social media censorship or political bullshit can lay a claim to her or keep her down like a party-line-spouting propaganda puppet. She is a libertarian freedom fighter and if you disagree with her, more power to you. That’s freedom, damn it. Hate me, love me or ignore me, I ain’t particularly bothered about it, son.
I want a little mischief. I need to have an outlet for that, so porn is the answer. I can just fly out to California, get fucking gangbanged, then come back to my farm and play with my goats or whatever.
It’s this damned-if-I-do, damned-if-I-don’t sincerity that has won her one of the most potent fan bases in the industry. It’s why, despite taking a year off from studio shoots and moving clear across the country from California to Tennessee, the minute she announced her interest in making a grand return, it only took ATMLA two hours to fully book her for weeks.
Because, as the award-winning star can attest, she sells like nobody’s business. After all, the miniscule vocal minority who rage and rant and wring their hands 24/7 on Twitter are not representative of the public at large. And the folks with an oft-espoused wealth-distribution mindset rarely possess the means to financially benefit Rx anyhow, so why bother with the baying of hounds in their mangy pens? Mind you, she has plenty of bite, even if her bark is pretty damn amusing.
Nonetheless, when you don’t let any group claim you as their own, it can be quite isolating, as she discovered in Tennessee after fleeing the not-so-golden Golden State. Whether it’s the cancel culture fanatics claiming to be liberal or the truck-driving redneck variety of conservative, mainstream can be very judgmental.
But enough preamble. You didn’t show up for witty banter and intro paragraphs. You came for the gun show. So sit back, pop open a Pabst, raise a toast to Uncle Sam and his United States of Corporate America, because Rx is the cure for all that soy you’ve been smoking. Now you've got to ask yourself just one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
XBIZ: What led you to take a break from porn last year?
RX: It got a little hectic with the COVID stuff and the political drama; it didn’t seem like a really fun environment at the time and I also got caught up doing other things, like being wholesome. So I packed up and moved to Tennessee, where I can carry concealed weapons and be myself. It was pretty impulsive, but most of my decisions are impulsive. I was able to sell my shitty house in California and buy a nice chunk of land out here: 17 acres of forest with two houses on the property. One of them is my momma’s, since I moved her out here, and then the other one is where I live.
XBIZ: Tell us what it was like moving to Tennessee and trying to go mainstream.
RX: I spent a good six months getting my real estate license and spent $10K on signs, business cards, presentation folders and bullshit. Then, a month in, I got fired twice by two different brokerages in three days because of my porn. And obviously, I wasn’t actively shooting at the time, so it was just because people recognized me. I guess my past didn’t align with the company image.
It was heartbreaking, because I tried really fucking hard and I was great at it for the two months I did it. But I made my bed, I’m gonna lie in it, but also… fuck people. Because people like to talk about second chances and letting people change, but not in their backyard. As a recovering drug addict and someone who used to be homeless, I’ve seen this my whole life, but now it’s due to porn. That’s ugly to me and I really don’t mind sucking dicks for money, let me tell ya!
XBIZ: How did you navigate that sex worker discrimination, professionally and personally?
RX: Well, my OnlyFans was still active, but it wasn’t a very big part of my life. And even though one of the big mainstream companies I worked with said I would need to delete all that to start over, it was still 80% of my income. If I had something to replace that with, sure, but I’m not an idiot and not going to get rid of my income. I don’t know that I’m willing to risk everything I’ve worked for my whole life, just because of people’s judgment of my past. In fact, even if I did delete all of my social media and independent content, that wouldn’t delete all the porn that’s already out there or delete me from the minds of men who jerked off to me.
And I don’t want any of this to sound like I regret doing porn. I regret people being shitty. But it’s easy to condemn people when — and I don’t want to sound cliché — you’ve never walked in their shoes. A lot of people never had to struggle and never had to do anything that other people maybe wouldn’t do for money. But when you sleep on concrete for a few days, tell me you wouldn’t suck dick for a living. And I love sucking dick actually, you’re paying me for something I actually love. I would conceivably pay money to do just that. Instead, I get a paycheck. That makes me chuckle.
XBIZ: How is your Anarchist Soap Co. business going? It seems to have grown substantially since last we talked.
RX: That was another part of not wanting to delete my social media, is I market my soap company. So “real estate or nothing” wasn’t an option. My whole basement is where I make my soap. Since it’s a three-story house, it’s now a soap factory. Depending on how motivated I feel, I’ll make batches all day, then other times I’ll go a week not making shit. But that’s the cool thing about owning multiple businesses. Now I’ve got soap, beard balm, pomade, lotion, tattoo products and tons of shit. Soap sells the most, with The Outlaw and The Viking as my top sellers, which is good because I made this whole company to make soap that smells like an outlaw.
XBIZ: As you balanced Anarchist Soap Co. with delving into real estate, how did you shift your content strategy on OnlyFans in the absence of local talent?
RX: It was more solo content and less boy/girl. But I should also mention that eventually changed, because I finally met some civilians out here who don’t have a problem with me posting our sexual experiences on OnlyFans, so thank you to the boys of Tennessee! Turns out there’s lots of willing volunteers. Which is good, because I’m going to keep living out here. Even after the bullshit, I fucking love it out here. So I’m just going to do two-week trips as I return to shooting studio porn and book things out so I can also make OnlyFans content the rest of the time when I’m in California.
XBIZ: Switching gears, it’s no secret you’ve expressed what some might consider very “politically incorrect” views. Discuss how your outspokenness has impacted business, if at all.
RX: My politics didn’t affect business, because I didn’t fully express my views until I stopped shooting for studios, but honestly I thought there’d be more of a backlash. It doesn’t seem to matter, because the people who wouldn’t hire me as a result weren’t hiring me beforehand anyhow, and I don’t imagine people can’t jerk off to me because of who I voted for.
I do have a problem with people trying to cancel anybody for having an opinion or saying what they believe. I think that there needs to be a balance in this country, because if we went all the way left or all the way right, I’d hate to be here. If it goes to the left too much, I want it to go more right.
Lately, nothing has been normal for anyone, so everybody is making life political. That being said, my views have always been the same, they’re just more aligned with the so-called “right” now. Because I definitely don’t want to live in a socialist country. I listen to a lot of Yuri Bezmenov, the ex-KGB operative, and I don’t want to live in a communist country.
I’m sure there are people who wouldn’t want to work with me, and that’s fine; I don’t want to work with people who are that sensitive. So unless someone is pro-child abuse or something, I’m fine with shooting with folks of all kinds. I suppose some people think my voting for President Donald J. Trump is an immoral choice or that I agree with everything he and his party do. But I don’t, and I don’t judge anyone for voting for someone else.
But like I said, there are people who never liked me even before they knew my views. If it’s not politics, it’s something else. Still, a lot of my fan base has always liked me, for over six years now, precisely because I’m unafraid to speak my mind and don’t sugarcoat shit. A lot of people respect that, even if they’re a silent majority who might not tweet about it. Either way I can’t exactly untweet anything I’ve said, so I’ll just keep tweeting things; I have absolutely no filter. At least I don’t get caught up in lies, or people finding out something nefarious about me. At least you know what you’re getting. And honestly, my sales on OnlyFans, my soap sales and everything have gone way up. Shocking, I know, that the side that likes to work actually has money to spend on adult entertainment, haha.
XBIZ: What upcoming scenes can fans look forward to, now that you’re back in the saddle, having recently visited L.A. for shoots?
RX: I was in L.A. for two weeks in July and shot like 16 studio scenes in 12 days, maybe more than that. I double shot the whole time I was there for MindGeek companies like Brazzers, plus Naughty America, Porn Pros, Jules Jordan and more. I also shot OnlyFans content with stars. It was great, because I have a “yes” list of people I got paid money to shoot with, that honestly I would’ve done for free. And I had more orgasms in the first four days than I had the entirety of last year. I also fell in love with a guy, so that was exciting, and I’ll be back either in the first two weeks of September or the last few weeks of August.
In the meantime, I’ll be focusing on my OnlyFans now that I’m back in Tennessee. Now that I have much more “real” content to put on there, fans can expect amazing updates. And I think I had taken a long enough break that I was legitimately excited to shoot porn, like the same energy as when I was brand new, where rather than going to work I was really getting off.
XBIZ: And now that you’re back in Tennessee, how will you split your time?
RX: I train like five days a week with jiu-jitsu. I tweeted the other day that I hope people can jerk off to my ass covered in bruises and with a cauliflower ear, haha. That’s the only thing that makes shooting porn hard for me, so I might have to buy some knee-high socks.
I’d actually started doing jiu-jitsu back before COVID-19, but after not being able to go for a year, as soon as I moved out here, I’ve been going to a local place where they teach it, and I love everyone there. I usually fucking hate exercise, but I just want to be a badass, and it’s the best fucking decision I ever made for my life. I realized the moment I wasn’t afraid of anything was when I got good enough to win a fight vs. an average person. As someone who’s been a perpetual victim my entire childhood and teenage years, there’s nothing quite like feeling genuinely safe.
And it’s not because I have guns, which I do. You can fuck up using a gun, or if one day you’re not carrying, actually having the physical and mental strength to defend yourself is really beautiful. Any woman, especially any survivor, I couldn’t recommend it more to. And moreover for someone as nuts as I am, because I’m stressed all the time with running three businesses — it’s a lot — jiu-jitsu is the only thing that makes me not think about my problems. You have to focus completely, so it’s like therapy, meditation, exercise and everything. But it doesn’t feel like exercise. I can’t do much on my feet but I know how to bring them to the ground.
Somebody between our legs as women is one of the most vulnerable places we can be, and in jiu-jitsu, that position is called “guard,” and it becomes the safest place you can be, on your back with your legs. A place of weakness is our greatest place of strength; I’ve got two legs and two arms, and they’ve got two arms in that position.
XBIZ: Any big goals for 2021 and beyond?
RX: I want to pay off a large portion of all this stupid shit I just bought. Between the land and the houses, I don’t usually overextend myself. I mean, I didn’t really overextend, but I do get nervous when I have debt. I’d like to bring it down to reasonable mortgage payments. I made good money on soap, but this empire would collapse without multiple revenue streams.
Mostly, this whole “being wholesome and living in the woods” thing was awesome, but also I’m a maniac wearing an ill-fitting human skin suit, so I feel like I’m gonna lose my shit sometimes. I want a little mischief. I need to have an outlet for that, so porn is the answer. I can just fly out to California, get fucking gangbanged, then come back to my farm and play with my goats or whatever. It’s either that, or getting gangbanged by this whole Christian town.
