For some adult entertainment performers, working in bondage and fetish movies is just an occupation; for Claire Adams, it's a way of life. While she didn't make her first on-camera appearances until 2004, Claire has been a fixture of the Los Angeles BDSM community since 2000, when she first arrived on the scene as a gorgeous and sexual curious 19 year-old. Claire Adams made first worked in non-sex roles, appearing in several volumes of Nina Hartley's Private Sessions video line. In the years since, she has evolved into a performer who shines equally brightly in both dominant and submissive roles, appearing in popular series like Hardtied from Intersec Studios and Boundaries from Triangle Films. Her incendiary scene with Belladonna from the fifth volume of the Fetish Fanatics series was nominated as the Most Outrageous Sex Scene of 2008 by AVN, and stands to this day as one of the kinkiest lesbian porn scenes ever filmed. Now in her tenth year as an on-camera performer, Claire Adams has worked with a bevy of the most prominent and respected studios in the adult entertainment industry, including Evil Angel, Adam & Eve, Vivid, Girlfriend Films and Private. Drawing on her extensive real-life experience as a member of the BDSM community and recognized BDSM educator, it's not uncommon to see Claire cast in the role of an instructor or dominatrix, but she has done plenty of work on the other end of the whip, as well. One of Claire Adams' specialties is strap-on dildo work, and with all her work in lines like Men in Pain, at this point she's fucked nearly as many men as women with her strap-on cock. One look at Claire while she's pegging one of her male slaves in the ass with her big, fake dick and you can tell she is sincerely enjoying herself "“ and Claire makes no bones about it, admitting that "it's fun to turn the tables on a guy every once in a while and give him a taste of his own medicine." Some of Claire Adams' most acclaimed work has been in lesbian videos, most of which feature Claire in a dominant role. Among porn fans, one of Claire's most popular scenes is from Fuck Sasha Grey, in which Claire puts Sasha through her sexual paces in a big way, fucking her with dildos and other toys and squirting all over her, leaving Sasha a wet and exhausted mess on the bathroom floor by the end of the kinky affair. Claire Adams relishes the opportunity to work with less experienced women in her bondage videos. Claire says that there's nothing quite as intimate as being the first one to introduce a slave to experiences like wax play, electro-stimulation or Japanese rope bondage, and the feeling of empowerment and mutual trust that it inspires. Even when her partner is an experienced submissive who is just pretending to be new to bondage the action is compelling and arousing, but when her slave is a legitimate first-timer, "there's a level of tension and anticipation that you just can't fake," Claire says. In one of Claire Adams' videos that has over 100,000 views her on PORN.COM, Claire mercilessly teases slave girl Justine Jolie, who starts the scene in a cage, where no matter how much she pokes her head through the bars, she can't quite reach Claire's pussy with her tongue. Claire frees Justine from her cage, but not to let her finally taste Claire's wet box, but to have her cute little butt whipped and spanked until her ass cheeks are bright red and covered in welts. By the time Justine is permitted to sink her face in between her mistress' thighs, she is highly motivated to please Claire, to say the least! Off-screen, Claire Adams is a woman of many talents, several of which come in handy in her adult entertainment career "“ like her ability to make ropes and assemble complex bondage rigging, for example. Claire has also done work as a mainstream fashion and photography model "“ which should come as no surprise, given her supermodel looks and total comfort in front of the camera. A smart and restless woman, Claire Adams enjoys nothing more than learning new things and tackling challenges she has never faced before. She has a fearlessness to her, something that Claire says porn has helped foster, because "there's nothing like having sex on camera and knowing that millions of people are going to see it to make you let go of your other inhibitions, too." Her friends say Claire Adams is as sweet and compassionate as she is severe and stern on camera in her professional life. Always one to lend a friend a patient and understanding ear when they need to talk, Claire says her life in the BDSM community has helped her become a more open and trusting person. "Bondage is all about trust," Claire says. "You literally put yourself in the control of another person, and you learn a lot about yourself and about other people when you do that." When she's not getting her hands dirty adding to her physical and vocational skill set, Claire Adams can often be found curling up with a good book. Claire says that while she mostly reads non-fiction history and biographies, she admits to reading fantasy and science fiction as a guilty pleasure of hers. Some of her favorites include Isaac Asimov, JRR Tolkien, Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman and H.P. Lovecraft. Claire says that she loves "losing myself in the worlds these authors create, and the amazing characters, especially." Claire says it might have been her early interest in darker works of fiction that first drew her toward BDSM. "Bondage seemed to have some of that same vibe," Claire explains, "sort of Gothic and modern at the same time, something about BDSM that really appeals to me aesthetically."
