Cali Caliente Embraces ‘Slutwoman’ Title
The word “slut” carries power and weight. It can be hurled as an insult or embraced as an expression of empowerment. When the late Patrick Collins released Elegant Angel’s first Slutwoman in 1999, he knew the title would attract attention. A quarter century later, the term and the series it inspired continue to evolve. Because Slutwoman had been dormant since 2015, the new edition required a star with special charisma.
Enter Cali Caliente.
Cali Caliente Is Slutwoman, debuting as a GameLink featured vid this week, follows in the slut-walkin’ footsteps of performers like Aidra Fox, Maddy O’Reilly, and Kristina Rose. It’s an impressive series history, but don’t expect Caliente to be intimidated by her illustrious predecessors or even the term “slut” itself.
In fact, she happily embraces it all. “What kind of got me really excited about it was when I did the research on the Slutwoman series, and who had done it before, performers that had been given the opportunity before. I said, ‘I’m one of them?’ Okay, I said, this has to be fire. So I was really excited,” she told interviewer Nicole Chappelle. The original Slutwoman was far from the first movie to promote the word “slut” to title status, but by transforming it into a compound with a superhero-esque flavor, it encouraged a new, modern perspective on what a “slut” could be.
For Caliente, the word is not something to fear. “A slut to me is someone who’s kind of just really open with their sexuality,” she said. “I’m a girl’s girl, where I feel like women should be able to express themselves in a sexual manner and not have them be ridiculed or treated a certain way [ . . . ] So for me, being a slut is just being empowered and being a woman that’s open with her sexuality and not being afraid to express that or show that.”
Just as “slut” evolved from a term for a “bad housekeeper” (no, really) to one for a sexually adventurous woman, the Slutwoman series has transcended its DVD-era origins. Though iconic, the initial Slutwoman is a stew of 1990s porn tropes, from tracked-in muzak to intercut black-and-white segments. It also heavily features a theme that Caliente expressly decided to eschew in her new Slutwoman: lesbian action. “I think I just really wanted to take a lot of dick,” she joked. “I was like, you know, as much as I love the girls, I was like, I think for this one, I wanted to be all men.” The movie brings her dick-centric vision spectacularly to life, from B/G anal to blowbang to double penetration to airtight gangbang.
Anal sex, which appears in three of the movie’s scenes, has always been an important element of Caliente’s brand as a trailblazer, trendsetter, and self-styled slut. “I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I inspired a whole generation of Black women to do anal,” she said. “Because nobody was doing anal, right? [Then] I popped out, and then Avery Jane popped out [ . .. ] and then everybody else kind of fell in line.”
In keeping with the movie’s theme of amplified sexual expression, Caliente’s anal sequences up the ante vis-à-vis her previous work. Shooting the gangbang that closes the movie reflected her Slutwoman-level ease with the biggest, boldest hardcore action. “It was amazing,” Caliente said. “And I was really comfortable. I was very comfortable in the gangbang. I was extremely comfortable with the guys and just really excited.”
Though anal and gangbang scenes require prep like fasting, Caliente enjoys going with the flow once the shooting starts. “With the gangbang, it’s a lot going on. So my body just becomes, like, theirs,” Caliente said.
Ultimately, this dizzying sense of in-the-moment connection and continuity is what Slut-hood is all about. “I just want [audiences] to understand how hard I work to stay authentic, to continue to be that light that’s like, ‘This is real porn,’” Caliente said.
It doesn’t get much realer than Slutwoman herself.
Cali Caliente Is Slutwoman is available now on GameLink.
