“Hello Rooster” is a non-binary performer of colour and is currently adopting tools and training to be an Intimacy “stunt” Coordinator; a practice Pioneered by Ita O’Brien (Netflix’s Sex Education) and other leaders in the field.

After being sexually assaulted on an Erika Lust set; a feminist and “safe” porn set, with little to no structure for accountability or managing sexual violence after the fact, especially in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Rooster started advocating for better working standards, safer conditions and labour rights for performers and crew. They are an educator and panellist on a consent, ethics and a sex educator.

“Hello Rooster” worked as a consultant and one of the active Co-Authors of the Guidelines for Ethical Porn & Model Bill of Rights for Erika Lust Films.

Being an intersectional feminist, they believe in the power of porn and sexuality that intersects and prioritises ethics and strives for better, ethical working standards and practices. Porn that doesnt dismiss performer and crew safety in the production process.
