Artist, Educator Ami Mercury to Moderate #SexTalkTuesday Today

LOS ANGELES —  Artist Ami Mercury will serve as guest moderator for today's edition of the Twitter-based chat show #SexTalkTuesday with a focus on "the syncretic relationship between the visual arts and adult entertainment."

The program, produced by Sssh.com owner Angie Rowntree, recently shifted to a biweekly format and a new timeslot of 5 to 6 p.m. (PDT).

“I’m thrilled to have Ami Mercury guest-moderating," said Rowntree. "Fellow creatives are in for a real treat with this week’s discussion."

Mercury has worked in adult for six years on fetish films and in camming and phone sex. "She has been writing and illustrating her tawdry romance comic 'Orc Girl' for over three years," a rep explained. "Ami also enjoys creating art pieces focusing on some of her favorite characters and creatures of fiction. Like her adult industry work, her art often portrays kink and sex-positive themes, romance, fantasy and a nuanced view of morality."

"A lifestyle kinkster herself, Ami also participates in and teaches BDSM and kink classes across the country at lifestyle and industry events," continued the rep. "She is currently running a self-love, and body positivity, campaign called 'How To Be Orc' inspired by her comics and adult work encouraging others to find their inner strength, or as she puts it their 'inner orc.'"

The artist and educator looks forward to connecting with the #SexTalkTuesday audience.

"Through both my adult industry work and my art, I am able to explore and share my interests in a way that I hope others can enjoy, as well," she said. "I do this with my webcomic 'Orc Girl,' especially. Before writing it, I had noticed a lack of fantasy stories geared towards audiences in adulthood, as opposed to the plethora of coming-of-age stories in the same genre. I wanted a story with adult characters dealing with adult problems, but still rife with all the elements that I always loved about fantasy. Being a sex worker and part of a lifestyle BDSM power dynamic, I also wanted the opportunity to tell a story with positive displays of sexuality and kink."
