Twenty Questions for Trouble Films’ Cinnamon Maxxine

Cinnamon Is Tasty

Hot BBW performer Cinnamon Maxxine is the new "Artist in Residence" at Trouble Films, and she stars in their latest release, "Seven Minutes In Heaven 4", directed by Courtney Trouble. Maxxine is out and proud as a sex worker, and she's all about a woman determining her own fate. She is fucking gorgeous, and she talked to us in an email interview about her porno life and career so far: 

What kind of girl were you back in high school? Who did you hang out with/date?

"Oooh. In high school, I was a nerd, weirdo, slight outcast, awkward, and I generally don't like to think about it! It wasn't terrible, it's just not the person I wanted to be or am now. I've grown, changed, and been able to spread my wings so much that I am literally a different person."

Were you a porn fan before you got into the industry? Who were your favorite porn stars/favorite porn movies?

"I wasn't really a porn fan before I got into the industry. OK, that's not entirely true, I really liked softcore porn. And still do. In many ways, I prefer it over "regular" porn. I also didn't like porn because the way that folks like me were represented often made me feel shitty. Black femmes, fat folks, and lesbians are always fetishized in a way that didn't feel good to me growing up, but I couldn't my finger on why. I will say that my first look at a black porn performer with a big ol' booty was Pinky. I don't know how it ended up happening, but I was young and kind of fell in love! She inspired me to not only be proud of my big butt, but use it to my advantage. To take pride in having a butt that's good for jigglin', shakin', and bouncin'. And make money from it."

What do you think shaped you into the performer that you are now?

"I think the above question kind of answers this one. I wasn't satisfied with the way I was seeing people like me in porn portrayed. Also, there just wasn't and still isn't enough diversity. I enjoy talking about that and making that part of my work. I want more black fat femmes and women to see themselves as sexually desirable and wanted it in a way that isn't always a fetishized way."

What/who do you want to do on-camera that you haven’t done yet?

"I'll never tell! I'm so shy. I have tons of porn crushes. I probably have porn crushes on you if I know you, not going to lie. I'm a porno slut. As far as what have want to do on camera, well, I've done some really hot threesome scenes in the past, but what I'd really like to do is a gangbang and an all-femme gangbang on Cinnamon. Like seriously."

Who is your favorite male performer/female performer to work with and why?

"I've worked with quite a few people, but I always enjoy performing with new folks. It's fun, exciting, and kind of funny. Because it's a little awkward. In addition, I like performing with folks who know what they want. I'm a little awkward and sometimes get awkward and I'm not all that creative. It's nice to work with folks that go on camera and know how they want to fuck. I don't want to have to putz around awkward looking for the next thing to do. That may sound some kind of way, but it's true. It's still work and sometimes it's things lag a little when neither of us is sure what to do next. That's the worst! It sort of makes me feel self conscious. I also enjoy working with other brown folks, fat folks, and brown fat folks. This doesn't mean I don't work with thin people or white people or other types of bodies and people, but I take pride in working with marginalized bodies and people. Because there is a real power in the validation I get from those bodies. And I want others to see us and know they themselves are attractive, desired, sexual, and that they can be sexy."

You seem to really love your fans and you talk to them a lot on Twitter. Tell me how having this fan base has changed your life.

"I'm actually terrible about using Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and all that. I really need to get better. I do make a point of trying to stay up with it, but I just don't. I also try to make a point of getting back to folks that DM me. Do I have a fan base?! That's cool. I don't really think of myself as having fans! I think I'm still getting used to having a fan base. It's really nice to get recognized, get credit, and be sought after, but I just don't think about myself that way."

What’s your favorite position to get fucked in/fuck in and why does it get you off?

I like to fuck ass up and in missionary. I know it's simple, but they always get my spots right. Or standing up sometimes. Depends on the occasion. ;) I like ass up because I really enjoy it when others appreciate my gloriously big ass. It's great. I really enjoy having others take pleasure in my ass. I could also say reverse cowgirl for this reason, but that's more for the benefit of the person I'm riding. Missionary is great for me—I like being able to use vibrators and this is the most comfortable position for me to have prime vibrator action and a huge cock, fingers, or fist.

What is your favorite type of scene to do?

"I think I sort of answered this before, doing scenes with other brown, black, and fat people."

What do you think your fans would be most surprised to learn about you?

"I'm shy and maybe a little bit of a prude."

What are the best things about being a porn star?

"I don't mean to sound modest, but I don't think of myself as a porn star. I have been in porn for about 8 years and have done over 10 scenes, but I don't feel like I get recognition that much for porn stuff. I don't necessarily get asked to much stuff. And that's totally OK! But because of this, I don't feel like I've reached porn star status. With the work that I have done, I really enjoyed that my costars genuinely seemed like that were actually having a good time with me and body."

What do you want to do most with your time in the adult industry?

"I really want to focus attention on diversity and acceptance for all body types, styles, colors, abilities, and sexualities. Porn is still racist, classist, size-ist, homophobic, transphobic, and so much more shit. I realize that porn takes it's cues from larger societal mainstream beauty standards. And we need to work on that too, in order to change what sets the bar as the beauty standard. I would also like to see queer porn be more legitimized as a form of "real" porn. Yes, sure, it's a "speciality", a niche, and very small section of porn. But I get naked on camera too. And there are so many glaring difference betweens queer porn and mainstream porn. However, queer porn is still porn. People are watching it, buying it, and getting off to it."

What do you love most about your scene in the latest "Seven Minutes In Heaven" from Trouble Films?

"Everything. It was great! I had a great day and got to fuck people I think are really hot, Q-Tip, and Emerald X-File. Would definitely do that again!"

Who are your role models in porn and how/why do they inspire you?

"Hmm. This is really hard. I don't really have any specific role models these days. As I stated before, I really looked up to Pinky when I was growing up, but over the years I have not kept up with her career. Unfortunately. I would like to see more black fat women getting attention in all the various types of porn there are. I did meet Norma Stitz a few years ago and looked her up afterward and was really stoked to know she existed in the porn universe. I'm not heavily in the porn scene either. So I don't know all the people out there making porn. I wish I knew more people in the industry. That being said, not that many people come to mind."

What do you think are “must-own” DVDs for your fans?

"Hmm. Again, this is hard because I really just know the stuff I've been in! I'm not really a porn connoisseur, if you will. So, unfortunately my knowledge of must-own/ must-see porn is not very big. Of course I suggest that folks check out TroubleFilms 7 Minutes in Heaven 4 and Lesbian Curves 3, Anything on Crashpad (pink label), and Aiden Starr's Marshmallow Girls series (specifically #4 because I'm in it!). I suggest these because I am shamelessly shouting out work I've been in, but also because I think that work does a good job of being diverse without terribly fetishizing the performers."

What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

"I'm a picky movie person and haven't seen anything good. Because mainstream movies are boring. I watch cartoons. Because I'm a nerd."

How about the best porno movie? Is there someone whose movies you like to watch who is working now?

"I also haven't been keeping up with mainstream porn. *guilty face* I think this is in part because I have a hard time supporting a lot of porn that feels like it's actively perpetuating isms and phobias and other bullshit."

Are you into toys to get yourself off alone or are you a low-tech woman?

"I'm definitely into toys! My wands were stolen last year and I have yet to replace them, but I have a small one until I can replace the wands. I actually really like it and it does the job!"

If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be? Give us your male and female choices.

"Oh, wow! You know, I have long list of celebrities I'd like to fuck, but it's really hard to narrow it down to just one male and one female choice. REALLY HARD! Hhhhhmmm. I don't know if this is the answer I'd go for if it was the end of the world and I had to pick just two people, but I think it's definitely HIGH, very high, on my list. I think I might like to do a threesome with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Yeah, I'm going to go with that answer. I definitely feel good about that."

What is coming up for you?

"I'm hoping to focus some time and energy into my own project, Soft Serve, Porn for Prudes. I'm also doing some directing for Trouble Films."

Is there anything you want to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?

"WoW! This was tons of fun and I'm so grateful that folks are interested in what I have to say! That's so sweet and amazing! I really appreciate everyone out there who took the time to read this and found it interesting. To any fat, brown, black, femme, woman out there, I see you and I think you're beautiful, sexy, and stimulating in all the ways. Your beauty and sex appeal is worth so much more than society gives you credit for."
