DID THAT HAPPEN A LOT? SOME GUYS DIDN'T WANT TO USE CONDOMS?
The security guards constantly had to remind the guys "condoms only." [Laughs] Some of them did get carried away, yeah. They would forget to put them on.
HOW MANY OF THE TEN HOURS WOULD YOU ESTIMATE THAT YOU WERE ACTUALLY HAVING SEX?
[Sigh] Probably between six and seven hours.
COULD YOU NAME THE BEST OF ALL THE MEN? DOES ONE PERSON STICK IN YOUR MIND WHO KIND OF SYMBOLIZES THE WHOLE THING?
I couldn't give you his name but I could give you a description. He was a middle aged, quite attractive Asian guy, you know, nice body and everything. I was just really glad to see Asians being represented because I specifically requested that all ethnic groups be there.
HOW COME?
Well, I was kind of basing it on Messalina, so I wanted, like, the townspeople; it was supposed to be a kind of cross-section, like the United Nations. [Laughs] And there were a few men who were very good.
WHAT QUALIFIES?
Well, they were enthusiastic, they weren't nervous, they were at ease. You know, I tend to vibe into my partners and if they get nervous then I'm nervous too. So, they'd saunter up on the stage and if they were at ease, excited and aroused, then that immediately put me at ease and I was able to enjoy myself.
WAS MOST OF THE SEX VAGINAL OR WAS THERE ANAL?
Most of it was vaginal because, well, first of all, the guy only had a limited amount of time. I think only four guys did have anal sex with me. Because the guy has to be slightly more erect to be able to pull off anal sex and most of them weren't because they weren't given enough time and they were fairly nervous.
THE ONES WHO DID HAVE ANAL SEX WITH YOU — WAS IT THEIR PREFERENCE OR YOURS?
Well, the first one, he basically just came up to me and started singing, "I'm a back door maaaan," you know, like The Doors. It was my concern that there was not enough anal going on, so with some of the guys I was like, "Hey, you know, you're pretty hard, let's try some anal." My whole Annabel Chong thing was, like, she's supposed to be the Anal Queen, so it'd be kind of weird if there was no anal. My second video — such a terrible title — was What's a Girl Like You Doing in an Anal Movie?
DID YOU SPEAK TO ALL OF THEM OR WERE THERE SOME WHO YOU DIDN'T SPEAK TO AT ALL?
When they came on stage I'd say hi to them, but I don't think that it's a situation that encourages conversation because they only had ten minutes. They'd ask me little questions like, "Annabel, so are you having a good time?" and I'd ask them if they were enjoying themselves and I'd tell them to relax. It wasn't a very chatty event.
DID YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THEM?
As far as I could. We had these really hot lights on stage and it's really hard for me to see them and it's really hard, I believe, for them to see me without squinting but I did have a look at their Polaroids before the event.
DO YOU THINK IT'S CONCEIVABLE THAT THERE ARE SOME MEN WHO YOU HAD SEX WITH WHOM YOU WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE NOW?
Yeah, I'm not very good at faces after a long time. I still recognize a few of them because they had a particular look about them that made them stand out from the crowd, but after a while the faces just blur.
HOW MANY MEN DO YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD SEX WITH IN YOUR LIFETIME?
Probably ballpark of 150 to 200 men.
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO NAME ALL OF THEM?
No.
RECOGNIZE THEM?
Some of them.
WOMEN?
About 25 to 50.
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO NAME THEM? RECOGNIZE THEM?
Yes. Yes.
ON THE ISSUE OF SAFETY AND DISEASE, DID ALL THE MEN PASS AIDS AND STD TESTS? IN THE DOCUMENTARY, I THINK YOU WERE INITIALLY TOLD THEY ALL PASSED AIDS TESTS BUT FOUND OUT AFTERWARD THAT NOT ALL OF THEM BROUGHT PROOF.
Yeah, in retrospect I would be more careful. I guess some of them were checked and some weren't and I was working under the assumption that all of them were. I shouldn't have trusted the producers that much and I was really lucky to have missed the bullet, but that was the reason why we had condoms, too.
WERE THE MEN WHO WERE TESTED TESTED FOR EVERYTHING OR JUST FOR AIDS?
They were tested for AIDS, not for anything else.
HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
I could have gotten Hep B. [Laughs] Scary thought, eh?
WAS THE EVENT PAINFUL AT ALL?
It's very close to running a marathon. You get the down time, you get the up time. It's very much the same physical process when you're on a roll and it's not painful, it's actually really enjoyable. Then it gets to the down time when it's not going at all and you just have to get yourself through that period and hit a good pace and then it's up time again. Yeah, there was pain. It was definitely a physical strain, I mean, not like vaginal pain but just general strain: my knees, my shoulders. And it's psychological too because I'm claustrophobic, so sometimes I would start to hyperventilate and we'd stop for me to take a breather, have some cold water.
DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR PAIN OR THE PAIN THAT THE MEN MIGHT HAVE IMAGINED YOU HAVING TURNED THEM ON?
Ummm, no, actually it got them kind of upset when they made the announcement that they shouldn't use their fingers or else I'd be cut by fingernails. Then they would come up and they'd go, "Are you all right, Annabel? I'll go gently."
DO YOU THINK THAT AT LEAST INITIALLY IT WAS A SADISTIC ACT FOR THE MEN?
I didn't think they were thinking about it in sadistic terms because they seemed to be very timid when they came up to me. They weren't like "Yeeaah! I'm gonna fuck this bitch!" They were like, "Oh, Annabel!" I think they were too self-conscious to really be sadistic. There was this bizarre sort of homoeroticism in the whole event because there were all these naked men and they were all looking at each other, checking out the competition, and it's almost cruisy. It's almost as if the interest was in each other instead of me. Standing in line waiting, stroking their dicks, looking at each other's dicks, you know hoping that they'd get their dick hard before the guy beside him.
DID YOU HAVE ANY ORGASMS DURING THIS?
Yeah, well there were times when the going was good and I was having a really good time. When they're up and jumping and I'm up and jumping and we're really getting to the flow of things — you know, that's when it gets good. Female orgasms are not like male orgasms where they're very defined, very clean cut. So I can't really give you a ballpark number. It's like a multiple orgasm: you can't really count it. It just goes on and on and on and then stops.
