Briana Is Back!: An Interview with Living Porn Legend Briana Banks

Briana Is Back And Her Comeback Scene Is On ArchAngel

You know, it is really easy to throw around words like "living porn legend", but well, Briana Banks is nothing less than one in every respect. Banks is one of the most popular Vivid Girls of all time and a solid fan favorite. She has been a Penthouse Pet and is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, along with every other porn hall of fame that means a crap. She is lovely, so damn talented, and she has been away from porn for five long years. Her first porn scene appears this weekend only on ArchAngel's site. She performs with Manuel Ferrara in a scene directed by MimeFreak and we have the only exclusive pics of that hardcore scene that you are going to see anywhere before the scene hits the internet on Sunday, Valentine's Day. Could the holiday built around love and lust get sweeter than Banks' return? Here is what Banks had to say about it all.

How does it feel to be a performer again?

"Words can't describe how happy and thrilled I am to step into my shoes as Briana Banks again. I'm adjusting to all the changes that have happened since I left five years ago but one thing remains, my sexual appetite and love for my fans and the industry."

What do you remember most about being a Vivid Girl?

"Being a Vivid Girl for eight years was a amazing experience especially after all the gonzo scenes I'd done before. I got to push the envelope on my scenes and do stuff Vivid didn't always like at first, but I was always adamant about keeping my scenes just as strong and dirty. Adding in the big budget films and traveling all over the world was amazing and I loved most of the Vivid Girls--some really amazing women--and the directors that I got to experience the pleasure of working with."

Who are your favorite female/male performers to work with and why?

"My favorite male performers were Manuel Ferrara, Eric Everhard, Evan Stone, Joel Lawrence and Mark Davis . They are all amazing performers and really made work into a fun rewarding orgasmic experience. It was fun to meet them all in my gonzo years and work with them again in Vivid productions. I'd constantly get 'Briana, you can't do that' for my love of spitting, shocking, slapping and hair pulling, and I'd be like, 'just edit out what you absolutely have to but let me do my thing'. Female performers I loved were Dasha, Tyler Faith, Tera Patrick, Jenna Jameson, Monique Alexander and gosh, so many females who got me into my love for women!!!!

You have a lot of fans out there. What is the best thing about having all of those people admire your work?

"My fans are so amazing, due to my very different scenes from five-on-ones for Anabolic to shoots for the amazing Paul Thomas and Chi Chi LaRue. I have such a huge fan base it makes me smile that I could curb each one's appetite in my span in the industry as a dirty rough sex girl and a more glammed up, softer (kinda LOL) version. I love each and every fan I have and no regrets on anything I've shot because at least one fan got off on it!"

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

"I love doggie position. Something about being pinned down and fucked into submission turns me on. I'm a strong force to be taken down so it's so hot to have a man straight take me down...:))) "

What is it like being in the AVN Hall of Fame?

"It's amazing!!! It was so nice to receive that award five years ago just as I stepped down. It felt like I couldn't do much more but now I realize that it's not about how many awards you have, it's about growing and experiencing new things as a performer and continuing to go above and beyond what you've accomplished in your career."

What advice would you give to someone who wanted to be better at sexually pleasing a woman?

"Listen, not just to verbal conversation but body language and eye contact is very important. To be a great lover, you must learn to read your lovers body and mind."

What are the best things about being a porn star?

"Definitely you learn about your body and learning you like things that you never knew existed. I also love knowing I get to get people off as well as teaching people about their bodies and ways to get pleasure and live their own sexuality."

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

"Wow, that's tough! I've shot so many amazing scenes. Off the top of my head and sneaking a look at my DVD cabinet (I had to), I'd say 'Only The Best of Briana Banks' by Metro, 'Briana Loves Jenna', 'Briana Loves Rocco', 'Stunner ', 'Perfect Match'.... I mean, so many I can't remember all the names. I also did an eight movie deal with Jerry T. [Jerome Tanner] before signing with Vivid that are amazing. A few of those titles are 'Charlie's Little Devils', 'The Haunted' off the top of my head...and I love 'The Dinner Party' and 'The Puppeteer' by Adam and Eve!!!!"

What do you plan to do during your comeback to porn? 

"Right now I am going day-to-day, scene-by-scene... getting familiar with how everything works and will move forward from there."

What do you like to do for fun these days?

"I'm actually very laid back. I love just hanging out with friends, hiking, working out, and traveling."

What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

"I actually watched '21 Grams' the other night and loved it!!! I know it's old but I really enjoyed it. I like movies that make me think. :)"

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

"I'm a huge fan of Kendra Lust and Jessica Jaymes. Both are top notch performers and really amazing strong woman in real life. I admire their work ethic and work."

Are you still an enormous toy fan?

"I love toys and sex!! If I'm super horny, of course, I can use my fingers and imagination to get myself off but I really like eye contact and the personal feeling a sexual encounter orgasm brings."

 
What is coming up for you?

"I don't wanna say too much yet, just that I'm coming back full throttle so I hope my fans are ready for their Briana Banks to 'cum' back into their lives and pants."

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

"Thank you for all your support from the time I started in 1999 until now. My fans are so supportive and really give me the drive to come back strong and win all their love back as well as gaining new fans to love and support me!!!! Briana Banks Is Back!!!!!"
