Crystal Taylor Talks with Captain Jack
Crystal is a new girl on the porn scene but she is truly unique. She has such a wide-ranging background in the entertainment and sex work field that I wonder why it took her so long to find porn! That doesn’t matter because she’s here now and ready to make an impact! Crystal is absolutely gorgeous with a great personality. We talked about everything under the sun and I can’t wait until she makes her debut!
Captain Jack: Tell me about Crystal Taylor.
Crystal Taylor: I was born and raised in New York. I moved to California at 19 after my freshman year of college. After a cross country road trip involving nonstop music festivals and enough psychedelics to permanently blast my third eye open and shatter my previous conceptions of reality, I landed in Northern California in the cannabis culture. Those were the true wild west pre recreational cannabis culture days that all the OGs in the game reference with great pride. That was an era where you could easily make six figures out of your garage. I was there for a decade and amassed a collection of stories that are absolutely worthy of writing a book about. After about a decade I moved up to Portland when the industry was shifting and I saw the price of the pound steadily dropping. I noticed the industry moving towards capitalist ideals and was ready to move on into more soul-satisfying and lucrative ventures. I was still involved heavily with cannabis and decided to put myself through circus school. After 5 years in Portland studying circus arts, I moved to LA to literally run away with the circus to become a professional aerialist and fire performer. Circus artistry is highly competitive and so I continued consulting for the cannabis industry while performing internationally. During the slow season, a fellow female performer had been working in strip clubs prior to entering the circus and was continuously nagging me to come work at a club with her to show off my pole skills. I was initially recalcitrant to work there but she persisted and I obliged. My first night dancing I made $1500 in five hours which was pretty outrageous for a dancer because this was not the glory stripper days of the ‘90s. In fact it was a Wednesday night in Hollywood and my hustle exponentially evolved from that first night on. I flourished in the strip club environment and financially speaking it was far superior to the paychecks from circus performances without the aggravation of competing to get booked. I continued to do it on-and-off for 9 years in addition to cannabis consulting and product/equipment distribution. In the process, I developed a reverence for the art of real sex work. Within that time frame, I had a several year endeavor into securing my contractors license in the state of California. I owned a solar company and did solar panel installations and energy-efficient upgrades to both commercial and residential properties. I always had this deep need to balance my vanilla business dealings with the freak exhibitionist side of myself that needed to be expressed through sex work. Through the cannabis industry, all my wildest dreams came true because the money was really great and I used it to pursue all kinds of interests. For example, I ran a full 26.2 mile marathon and, contrary to popular belief, running a marathon is pretty expensive and time consuming and not a normal pursuit for a person in their 20’s. I wanted to know I could accomplish something that required that level of dedication, persistence, endurance, and consistency.
CJ: How did you find circus performing? Did you just google it?
Crystal: Many years ago I had seen a Cirque Du Soleil aerial performance and I immediately knew it was a sport I wanted to pursue. In 2002 I attended an incredible aerial performance at Burning Man and that solidified my attraction to it even more so. I thought it was beautiful, captivating, and artistic. I was already studying pole dancing so I understood the type of training it involved. I’ve been doing gymnastics since I was a little girl but something about that particular variation of acrobatics really ignited a fire within my spirit. This was before pole dancing was an acceptable form of exercise and was looked upon with judgment and disdain as a sexualized activity. I got really good at it and this was years—I’m talking years—before I ever set foot in a strip club. I networked and met other girls who were into pole who were doing exceptionally interesting and creative choreography. I got turned onto all these different apparatuses and that’s how I truly became obsessed with circus art. It’s funny because it all circled back around to pole when I found my way to a strip club many years later. The reality is if you really understand the hustle of exotic dancing you can bank hard. Circus, however, has a limited budget and a ceiling in terms of earning potential so you really have to do it for the love of the sport. I have friends who actually perform with Cirque Du Soleil and in the height of my dancing career I nearly tripled their annual income. The evolution of it is interesting because I got strong beyond what I believed I was capable of from all the other training and the pole called me back. It’s been an illuminating journey into what is possible with the human body.
CJ: You also said you were a fire performer, what does that all entail?
Crystal: Part of circus arts is prop manipulation and there are many different props with Kevlar wrapping in various formations which are soaked in white gasoline and lit on fire to spin, juggle, and flip for stunning visual effects. I have performed fire hoop, staff, fans, and poi. I have played with fire far too often and am surprised I have not been badly burned.
CJ: Then you stripped for 9 years?
Crystal: Yes, on and off for 9 years.
CJ: With all your moves and your flexibility, I bet you were the top earner at your club.
Crystal: I’ve been the top earner at every club I’ve ever set foot in. I’ve mentored a lot of new strippers that come into the club. It’s not about the stage performance or the tricks I’m doing…those things help but it’s really you’re understanding of psychology and how you relate to people. I don’t have fake tits or heavy plastic surgery but that isn’t necessary and also doesn’t guarantee that you’re going to make money. It all comes down to your hustle and, over the years, you learn that. I came in as an adult with a clear vision of what I wanted out of my dancing career. I’ve found that the older dancers are the ones often making the most money because they understand the game. I was not there to party, I was there to work with integrity. I never consumed an alcoholic drink in a strip club because I liked to keep my game sharp and I didn’t want to risk an injury doing death-defying pole stunts. I went in, I did my job and I really enjoyed it. I put on a hell of a stage show and I was able to gracefully ingratiate myself to the most difficult of clientele.
CJ: The hustle is nice but just from talking to you a couple of times now, you have a great personality…you’re a genuine person.
Crystal: Thank you so much. The hustle entails a distinct level of authenticity. I’ll give you an example of a night that stood out in particular. A guy came into the club once and he emptied his wallet, he gave me everything he had. Then he went to the ATM and gave me more. When everything was done and I officially realized that I had cleaned him out, I could have easily moved onto the next customer but I did not. That night, the club was slow and was catering dinner. I asked him if I could get him a plate. I returned with his food and drink and introduced him to the house mom whom I loved dearly. He felt a sense of a very real connection as I was enjoying his company as much as he was enjoying mine. This man repeatedly came back for a long time to watch me slay the stage and entertain him with the kind of attention only I can give. Those little movements of giving a shit, is what they’re looking for. It’s not about kissing ass or manipulation when it comes to a client handing over large sums of money. It comes down to having some compassion and relatability. I don’t like referring to clientele’ as “tricks” as it feels insulting and trivializes the nature of a person who is supporting your life endeavors. Your clients in any industry are people and they are always buying you before whatever product you are selling. If there is no rapport there is no sale. I don’t mind paying my therapist to listen to me and therefore I am similar to a naked therapist there to entertain, listen with my full attention, and meet the clients’ needs which are more often than not emotionally based.
CJ: You also mentioned that you have been in gymnastics since you were a child. Is that how you became so flexible?
Crystal: Yes, I have trained gymnastics and flexibility since I was a child. When I began training aerial acrobatics, I learned that you have to strike a balance between strength and flexibility to climb 30 or 40 feet into the air, stay up there for 5 minutes, and make it look graceful. In order to excel at aerial I got really serious about contortion training. That was after 10 years of really dedicated hot yoga so I came into contortion training relatively flexible. I buckled down and trained hard with many 6-8 hour days in the gymnastics studio. It’s all about consistency and discipline, no matter what you want to pursue.
CJ: What do they have you do in a contortion class?
Crystal: It’s similar to a gymnastics class with a more advanced focus on flexibility training. You train various splits and backbends off the floor with a series of blocks underfoot to achieve oversplits which are hyperextensions to some degree. Instead of just pushing up into a backbend, I’m trying to put my head on my ass.
CJ: How close have you come to that?
Crystal: I think the closest I’ve ever come is what you call a scorpion pose. My splits are my specialty but my backbends are still evolving. What can I say?! I love spreading my legs as far as they can go and beyond. (laughs)
CJ: You also have an Only Fans page and you sell clips, when did that start?
Crystal: While I was a dancer I was also working as a consultant in the cannabis industry both solo and for a time I was involved in corporate wholesale cannabis equipment distribution. I never really wanted to make my sex work kink public while engaged in consulting so I kept all my stripping endeavors on the DL. Eventually I wanted to own the fact that I was a sex worker and be open about it because I was proud of myself and tired of concealing it. I thought it was the most pleasurable job I had in my life and I felt annoyed that I had to hide it due to concerns about the stigma and reactions of co-workers, family members, and friends. When I finally made the decision to tell people that I had been doing adult entertainment for 9 years already, it did not elicit the reaction that I was so afraid of. Everybody was really supportive and not shocked at all most likely due to my freak half-naked pole and aerial circus performances . They knew I was already a seasoned performer and exhibitionist and they weren’t even remotely surprised. My transition into the adult industry was celebrated. Around March, I started my OnlyFans and my Manyvids. I already had a lot of content because I was filming porn and not posting it anywhere for years. I did all sorts of weird shit on camera and just never posted it anywhere because I wasn’t ready to be public with it but I had it on deck for when I knew I would eventually be. It’s a big decision to put yourself out there because it’s permanent once you do it and due to the stigma there are inevitable repercussions which need to be considered.
CJ: You also talked with Sandra from OC Modeling and now you’re going to make your professional debut!
Crystal: Sandy signed me in the beginning of May. When I started OnlyFans, I had no intention of doing porn with an agency at all. One day in March I was hiking through the woods taking nude pictures of myself with my camera and my tripod and I stumbled across this guy in the middle of the woods and he had a golden drum kit setup. He was filming his own promo for his heavy metal band. It could have been a bad scene but he was truly an angel. He introduced me to his friend who is a producer with several decades in the industry. This producer was pivotal in guiding me towards the right people and answering all my questions. He told me, ‘You’re beautiful and your personality is solid gold! You are going to thrive in the adult industry!’ He wasn’t trying to make money off me or come onto me at all. He was a kindred spirit who saw my unique talents. He introduced me to Sandy and she signed me immediately. That was a huge surprise to me, it was never planned. It’s not really any different than what I’ve been doing in my personal life for years and years.
CJ: You are also 38 and proud of it, as you should be!
Crystal: I’m really proud of the fact that I’m 38 and have no desire to conceal my age. My body and face reflect my healthy lifestyle. Nobody would ever guess my age unless you told them. I’m proud of how well I’ve taken care of myself for all these years. I’m dedicated to my self-care routines.
CJ: You have always been very sexual, as you said. When did you discover your sexuality? Was it at a young age?
Crystal: I dripped sexuality from the time I was very young and for that reason my mother never left me alone with anyone. I was never molested or beaten as a kid so I don’t fulfill those common stereotypes of adult performers. My parents are still married today and I consider them normal. I just always had a voracious sexual appetite and I’ve always been a hardcore exhibitionist, constantly ripping my clothes off and getting naked. The most famous story in my family was how I got thrown out of a fucking preschool for ripping off my clothes and screaming ‘Naked Revolution!’ It’s the best insight into my wild at heart nature.
CJ: You told me this the other day, you have to tell me how you lost your virginity!
Crystal: Oh, man… I was in 8th grade and I was dating a guy in my school. We were freaks, pink hair and all that shit. He was the bad boy of the school and I was the bad girl of the school. So naturally, everyone thought we were going to hook up…and we did. My parents dropped me off to go to a movie at a shopping mall where my boy toy met me. It was an absolutely jam-packed movie theatre. You’re going to think I’m making this up but the truth is I had sex with him on the floor of the movie theatre in the front row with everybody watching and nobody called the cops. I have no idea how I didn’t go to jail for this. I haven’t told anyone else that story! It was absolutely outlandish but the truth! It just goes to show that I always had that exhibitionist streak in me. I’m not housebroken. Somebody train me!!!!
CJ: So why were you considered the bad girl of the school?
Crystal: My parents were fundamentally strict old school New York Italian’s with Roman Catholic upbringings. Their chokehold on my social life caused me to continuously struggle for my independence and was classified as rebellion. I think if they had just relaxed and allowed me to have more freedom I maybe wouldn’t have felt the need to be so outrageous. If you asked them, they’d most likely give you a completely different story. If I wanted to see one of my friends, they’d say, ‘We have to talk to their parents.’
CJ: After you gave a movie performance that 300 people will never forget, did you start sleeping around?
Crystal: I have no idea what qualifies as sleeping around but I can tell you I have always found great pleasure in exploring my sexuality.
CJ: When was your first time with a girl?
Crystal: Definitely before I lost my virginity, I think I was 12. I had a neighbor who was two years older and repeatedly initiating sexual encounters with me. I was totally willing to participate in whatever she wanted because she was the “it girl” in the neighborhood. It was an ongoing thing and she was beautiful. That went on for years but she was always a little bitch to me when her friends were around. She didn’t want them to know what she was doing due to her own programmed sexual shame.
CJ: Well, at that age, you probably don’t want to come out to your friends either.
Crystal: I was always very street smart so I already knew that she wasn’t a lesbian, she just wanted to explore her sexuality. She started rubbing my pussy in the hot tub and scissoring and all this type of shit and I just always knew that snitches get stitches and I carried that moral code all the way over to my adult life. I wanted it to keep going on so I kept my mouth shut. She was hot! It was great!
CJ: When was your first DP?
Crystal: My first DP was when I was 22. I had this boyfriend and he had a best friend. We were really in love with each other and he wanted to do anything to make me happy. We were at a reggae festival and I told him his friend was hot. The way he set it up was incredible! We got back to my apartment after the festival and his friend asked if he could stay with us for the night. We all took showers and I was just lying in bed. My boyfriend’s friend was out in the living room when my boyfriend came into the bedroom and blindfolded me and said, ‘I have a surprise for you!’ He then left the room and I was lying there in suspense. When the door reopened I felt a set of hands on each ankle. Internally I exclaimed ‘FUCK YEAH!’ From that first experience being double penetrated I felt completely in my element. Most men are not comfortable with their balls slapping against another man’s balls and I was amazed at how they were coping. I could tell they were a little uncomfortable but they were doing it because they wanted to make me happy. It was fucking awesome! And I remember telling my girlfriends about it and they were horrified. They were so much more innocent than me.
CJ: When was your first anal?
Crystal: Probably early in high school. We’re actually still friends today, he’s a charming human being and a really good person. He was another one of those guys who was an absolute sweetheart and would do anything to make me happy. During that relationship, I wanted constant sex. One time we were having sex in the woods on a sunny summer day and I just tossed his dick in my ass. I had never even seen porn yet at that point in my life. There was no forewarning, I just spit on it and slid his cock right into my ass. I was so horny and so young and turned on, my body just opened up to it. As we were going back to the car, he asked me if I would ever marry him. I asked, ‘What the hell are you talking about? I’m still in high school!’ Then he started crying and said, ‘All you want to do is have sex!’ and I just started laughing. I basically fucked that interaction up. He was way too innocent then and he still is today. He was not built to handle the type of wild animal I am. I was really horny and although we had an emotional connection, he saw good sex as a sign that we should marry one another. To me, sex, love, and marriage are not always mutually exclusive and I don’t think he understood.
CJ: You also mentioned a gangbang. When was that? Or did you have multiple gangbangs?
Crystal: Gangbangs have not gone down quite the way I want them to yet. Multiple partners, yes, but an organized gangbang, I can’t wait until the day that it happens. I’ve had plenty of DP’s go down, maybe 3 dudes at a time but I would like to be in a gangbang with over 4 dudes. That’s very hard to arrange when you’re doing things responsibly. I’m not whacked out on drugs and I haven’t been going to swinger’s clubs. It’s more like I have a couple of lovers that will bring their friends. So I can’t wait until I have an organized gangbang.
CJ: Do you have a goal of like 10 guys or 20 guys?
Crystal: There’s no number, it doesn’t matter to me. So often in porn we see a certain narrative depicting a scene oriented predominately around male pleasure where guys come in and aggressively fuck a girl. Behind the scenes that may not be the case but after the editing that is often what is portrayed. From my experience, when there are multiple men involved, they’re treating me like a queen and they’re trying to please me. That dynamic is so much more pleasurable because it allows me to really become submissive. When I know that I’m safe and there is consent I am able to fully let go. That takes people who are really conscious and them understanding the behaviors that are acceptable to me. In my personal life, when there has been multiple men involved, every time that’s been the dynamic. There’s always a conversation that goes down where I tell them what I like, what I don’t like, what I won’t tolerate. Usually when they come over, I have some unscented soap that’s specifically for their genitals and they will all one-by-one take a shower and file their nails. I have a list of requirements and they all comply. I’ve done a bunch of these multiple partner events and they know what I’m capable of and they know it’s going to be awesome. My requests are reasonable when you consider the benefits.
CJ: How did you come up with your stage name?
Crystal: (laughs) My father actually wanted to name me Crystal so I’ve been going by Crystal for over 20 years. It’s really not that much of a stretch. It’s a very natural extension of myself and one of the many fun personas I entertain. I came up with ‘Taylor’ for a very specific reason. One thing about Taylor Swift is that she goes out of her way to interact with her fans and to show them how much she appreciates them. I aspire to conduct my relationships with my fans in a similar fashion. She became super famous partly due to her dedication to her fans and I want to conduct myself similarly. The people who support me know how much I appreciate them because they’re the ones truly responsible for changing my life. I love anyone who supports what I’m doing and I find it extremely flattering!
CJ: When you were talking about that one guy, you said that you were always horny. Are you still the same way or are there certain things that will get you wet now?
Crystal: For me, it’s very, very psychological. I don’t really have a type as far as physical attraction. I know what I’m looking for in a connection and that is consent, respect, and the knowledge that the person you’re interacting with desires to please you and not push your boundaries beyond your level of comfortability. Those qualities combined with sexual creativity turns me on so much and is less focused on the person’s physical attributes. I don’t have an aesthetic type anymore, it’s more about a vibe and an insightful consciousness that really excites me. During role playing, I’ve had out-of-body experiences. It’s been so amazing because what I’m feeling is an intelligent human being merging their fantasies with mine during conscious sexual play.
CJ: You mentioned in the gangbang that you want to totally become submissive, are you more submissive than dominant?
Crystal: I am a 100% dominant when it comes to business and real-life relations but when it comes to the bedroom, I can’t wait to be submissive. When you’re doing business you’re playing a dominant role and it is a weighted responsibility. During sexual play when I can relinquish control to someone I know is trustworthy, I can fully submit and that’s my happy place. I love being submissive and losing myself in sexual ecstasy.
CJ: Would you be willing to work with a TS girl?
Crystal: That’s always been super interesting to me and I haven’t had that experience yet. Under the right circumstances, I would happily invite that into my life. That is such a unique experience that would turn me on a lot. There are certain TS girls that are so stunningly beautiful that I say, ‘Holy shit! Wow!’ I don’t care what kind of genitals that person has, they are absolutely stunning. That’s why I feel porn is so exciting because I can have experiences and explore the parameters of my sexuality in a controlled environment and safe container with people who are getting tested regularly and understand consent. Adult performers are often very evolved in that aspect and it feels much safer than doing it in the real world with people who don’t give a shit.
CJ: Are you a size queen? Do you like huge cocks?
Crystal: I can tell you that when I’m creating content with somebody, big dicks look better on camera but in real life, it really doesn’t matter. Let’s say you were in a relationship and the guy has a monster cock, that becomes a lot when you’re fucking him day after day. I’ve had sex with guys with average sized dicks that knew what to do. They used their mouths and their fingers and all these other ways to pleasure me. So a big dick is not an indicator of great sex by any means and I think that’s a false narrative that is constantly promoted and it actually makes men feel insecure. Men often receive their sex education from porn and think they have to pound the shit out of you and that’s not reality nor is it a healthy way to learn about sexuality. It is called “adult entertainment” not “adult sexual education” for a reason!
CJ: What are you like off-camera? When you have free time, what do you do for fun?
Crystal: I roller skate probably 7 to 10 miles every day of my life. I’m still totally obsessed with acrobatics. Gymnastics is just never going to get old and I’m passionate about it. Every single day I spend at least an hour to an hour-and-a-half doing contortion and at least an hour roller skating. I usually throw in aerial acrobatics and weight training 3-4 days a week. That’s a lot of hours of high octane movement. I’m also fucking obsessed with doing a coffee enema every morning. I pour a quart of coffee up my ass and flush my body out and it feels amazing. There are a lot of health benefits to it. I think maybe I’m just obsessed with my asshole.
CJ: So that makes two of us.
Crystal: I need you to feel that way if we are going to continue to be friends. (laughs) She has a name… “Gloria Ass-stuffin”. Please refer to my asshole by her name “Gloria” please and thank you,
CJ: What kind of music do you like?
Crystal: My favorite band in the world is a reggae band from St. Croix called Midnite. I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to music. I like a lot of rap, R&B, electronic music, and jam bands. When I was younger, I loved Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails and stuff like that. I also have my moments where I like pop music so I’m all over the spectrum but reggae is my heart.
CJ: Do you have any favorite movies?
Crystal: My favorite movie of all-time is The Never Ending Story followed by Willow. They don’t make movies like that anymore.
CJ: What are your favorite TV shows?
Crystal: I have never owned a television in my life and I don’t really watch television at all. I like to read.
CJ: What’s your favorite book?
Crystal: I don’t really have a favorite. I read whatever subject I’m interested in and research it to death. I gravitate towards anything that can educate me.
CJ: What’s your favorite food?
Crystal: It’s watermelon for sure. I fucking love watermelon. It’s just sooooooooo pink and juicy!
CJ: And how can the fans follow you on social media?
Crystal: On Twitter, I’m @CrystalTaylorXO. Instagram is @IloveCrystalTaylor. Website is ILoveCrystalTaylor.com
