The jizz bizz, like any industry, has it’s own slang and references. They can be confusing to outsiders. For example, during a refreshment break on an adult movie set, only someone with no experience of the porn world would ask Ron Jeremy to put some cream in their coffee.
To ease people’s entry to the world of smut I’ve started compiling an encyclopedia of common terms - The Encyclopedia Pornographia. To ease people’s entry in more general terms I suggest KY jelly, butter or - in a pinch - 10w30 (10w40 between November and March).
The Encyclopedia is aimed at people interested in working in the jizz bizz, so I’ve left out porn information which is of more interest to fans. I’m not including anything which I don’t think is directly relevant to porn, so don’t look for non-porn specific definitions either.
Have I missed something? Tell me. Think I’ve made a mistake? Start your own blog if you’re so fucking clever.
I’ll update this in response to requests or whenever I feel it’s necessary.
0-9
2257 - Shorthand for the laws regarding the production of pornography in the US . Often used in reference to the specific requirements placed on adult websites. Not complying with 2257 regulations will land you in jail.
A
A2M - Ass-to-mouth. Depictions of men receiving fellatio immediately following unprotected anal sex from the woman they were sodomizing. Ingesting rectal bacteria is potentially highly dangerous. Definitely a second date move.
A2OGM - Ass-to-other-girls-mouth. Depictions of men receiving fellatio, immediately following unprotected anal sex, from a woman who isn’t the one they were sodomizing. Potentially dangerous (see A2M). Performed by Tom Hanks during the ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ DVD out-takes.
AIDS - The disease most often cited as a risk of working in hardcore pornography. Most performers are tested every 30 days using a PCR-DNA test. HIV tests are not mandated by law, but performers in the US are expected to be tested and arrive for work with current test data. AIM healthcare will confirm a clean bill of health for a performer if asked.
AIM Healthcare - Adult Industry Medical. Medical facility run by ex-performer Dr. Sharon Mitchell. Performs the vast majority of the mandatory STD screening performers need in order to work in the jizz bizz. AIM offers counseling to performers and warns the industry of disease outbreaks.
Anal - Anal sex. A standard part of porn movies. Female performers stop eating 12-8 hours before an anal scene and give themselves repeated enemas to create the illusion of a soot-free tailpipe.
AVN - Adult Video News (www.avn.com), the main trade publication of the porn industry. Free subscriptions available to qualified individuals. Can be purchased at some news stands and in sex shops.
AVN Awards - The Oscars of US Porn. Held in Vegas each January. Ironically AVN Awards are harder to use as sex toys than Oscars.

B
B/G - A sex scene involving a man and a woman.
Bi - Bisexual. Only used to describe scenes in which men are bisexual. There is unwarranted stigma attached to women who perform with bisexual men (i.e. in films which contain male-homosexual and straight content together).

Condom only - Studios who insist on using condoms during sex scenes. What I pack for a weekend out of town.

Cum - Also known as man fat, baby gravy, liquid silk, cock vomit, the juice, milky goodness, the breakfast of champions or semen. Latin word meaning "with".

Dong - What the people who make them call a dildo. Seriously.
F
Free Speech Coalition (FSC) - Adult industry lobbying group. Fights punitive legislation, defends performers and offers a public ‘face’ for the industry. The animated flag on their website is cheesy.

Gape - Term used to describe video footage of a wide open rectum. More tea vicar?

I

Interracial - Scenes in which black and white people have sex with each other. White/Asian sex is not always categorized as interracial but Black/White sex always is. Black/Asian sex is good - real good.

Jenna Jameson - Arguably the worlds most famous porn star, certainly the richest. The only real ’star’. Came to fame at Wicked Pictures under the tutelage of Joy King and Steve Orenstein. Now runs a number of porn related business’ and websites. Is partnered with Vivid for distribution. Looks good as a brunette.
Jesus - Invented sex, hates fucking apparently. A confusing message we all struggle with.

Sharon Mitchell, Dr. - founder of AIM Healthcare, ex-performer and ex-heroin addict. Smart and saintly in her devotion to performer welfare. Has a pet parrot.
