Hi everyone, welcome to the porn hub podcast. I'm Asa Akira, your host, and today's guest

is Trip Richards, aka TripleX Transman. Trip is someone who has really made a big name for himself

and created a very successful porn career. In a very unconventional way, he, or maybe now it's more

conventional, but he really, really made a name for himself by shooting exclusively amateur porn

content, producing all of his own stuff, not really shooting for mainstream studios, and I think

this is, it's a really interesting way of doing porn, and more and more people are kind of in that

boat these days, where they're not really needing to shoot for these bigger studios anymore. It's very

different than my own porn experience, so I had a lot of questions about that, and he gave a lot

of really great advice for anyone that might be looking into getting into the porn industry that way.

Obviously, I asked him a lot of questions about what it's like to be a trans man in porn. He is

one of the most famous recognizable trans men in the porn industry, aside from, I would say,

and he gave me a lot of insight, really enlightened me, and educated me, and I hope that

you enjoy this interview. Trip Richards, aka Triple X Transman, great name, by the way.

Thank you. It's a little bit more of a mouthful than I ever would have planned if I'd actually

thought of it as a porn name. It was originally just like a user name, and I'm like, nobody knows

how to spell it out. But also, don't you kind of feel like porn stars now have user names?

I guess. I mean, honestly, they just have super generic names.

But even if you go into porn hub, it's like purple bitch, or like,

Oh, true. Spicy gum. Because like, I started amateur content like that. You know, I started

just web cam and, you know, I never thought that I would be a porn star per se.

So I wanted to ask you about that. Like, you started your journey as an amateur porn star,
