Before Cytherea, there were squirting videos. But there were no squirting stars.
There are certain pop cultural touchstones that the world sets it clock by. Marlon Brando made mumblers sexy. Bob Dylan was the first to plug in. And the woman known as Cytherea brought female ejaculation from her bedroom into the spotlight. Squirting videos were almost unheard of outside of the rarely-visited corners of your weird uncle's favourite xxx shops. There's a lot of history between now and back in 2003 when this good Mormon girl from Salt Lake went from a little-known novelty act with a dedicated Yahoo group behind her to agented celebrity and first lady of the female cumshot.
You don't mess with a pornstar who once made Howard Stern blush.
Even her name sounds like what a squirting vagina would say if it could talk. She went under the stagename "Squirtwoman" for awhile, but we feel that's a touch too on the nose, and we prefer Cytherea to all other labels. Once she broke through the barrier and took her novelty act mainstream, she set about the task of converting the squeamish. Chief in our memory from this quest is her classic, and completely unrehearsed appearance on the Howard Stern Show. It takes a lot, even for a pornstar, to make radio DJs speechless, they get fired for dead air, but speecheless the shock jock was. The audio of that interview is like the Nixon tapes. It poses more unanswerable questions than it answers.
Cytherea took the plunge and went anal in '06. Ever since then, she's been a pornstar at the top of her field.
After making it big as the world's first truly astronomical squirting video star, there was just one more taboo to cross, and Cytherea did it in 2006's Cytherea's Anal Whores. It's what you think it is, the first time on film that the lady who named herself after a Greek goddess got down on all fours and took it in the way the Greeks used to love it. This solidified her status in the industry as more than a one trick pony. And she's been huge ever since.
