Vanessa Cliff organizes toward more inclusive sex-positive community and culture. Using porn as a vehicle for social connection and transformation, Vanessa invites people to play, imagine, assert their boundaries, take care of each other and celebrate the joy of being awkwardly human.
A happily slutty exhibitionist, kinky switch, polyamorous and pansexual woman, Vanessa loves laughter, people and adventure as much or more than she loves a hard dick or wet cunt.
She is driven by dreams of a future where everyone is taken care of in community and factors like identity, ability, appearance, sexuality or sexual labor have no bearing on whether people feel healthy, free, wanted and loved.

Vanessa’s career in sex work began as a for-hire porn actress. Fast forward several years and now she’s the one calling the shots – or, more accurately, she and a team of other queer people who have joined together to form an unusual production company.
Cliff Media operates at the unlikely intersection of two worlds: porn production and community organizing. Instead of recruiting professional adult actors, Cliff Media organizes group shoots open to all enthusiastically consenting adults who want to work together to create inclusive, loving, kinky spaces and media.

For more than a decade, Vanessa has been living outside of traditional monogamy: in polyamorous relationships with men, women, queer and trans partners, freely fucking friends and strangers, and playing in the swinger lifestyle.
Unlearning shame about her own body, identity, sexuality, and sexual labor only happened through connection to others. Vanessa now strives to foster connections like this for others, creating a community in which people can recognize parts of themselves in each other, lose shame, and find their own power.

In June 2023, Vanessa organized her first Cliff Slutfest, a tour hosting group shoots across 5 states. Through this tour, Vanessa began to realize that producing group porn scenes was about so much more than porn, and saw many people who were moved by the healing power of being authentic and wanted.

In October 2023, Cliff Media produced its first Women and LGBTQ+ Shoot Week in Portland, Oregon, joined by more than 30 queer people from around the country. Participants starred in ten orgy scenes in four days with each scene directed by a different member of the community.
The LGBTQ+ Shoot Week and Cliff Media was the subject of a documentary, “A Certain Kind”, that has since toured film festivals across the U.S., Mexico, the Czech Republic and England.

Scenes produced by Cliff Media explore themes of loving sex-positive community, healthy non-monogamy, joyful kink, and empowered female and queer sexuality.
They are often quite intentionally as awkward and silly as they are hot. Being human is messy and Cliff Media scenes embrace that truth as permission to play.

Cliff Media’s content plays with concepts that flip the script on dominant narratives, like a wedding where the bride and groom turn the event into a playful gangbang; a gender reveal party in which attendees decide to repeal and rebel against the constructs of gender altogether; and the spiritual impregnation of a trans woman where neither male ejaculate nor a female womb are required.

Since then, Cliff Media has grown in its leadership and community involvement. Throughout 2024, the company produced more than 100 scenes. Many big group, queer-led scenes are filmed during “shoot weeks” in which people gather to spend multiple days together, as engaged in making content as in connecting with each other over food and other community activities.

Cliff Media is now co-led by Vanessa and a team of queer and trans people in an executive board called the “Whore’s Nest”. The company is also guided by a larger 30 person Leadership Team of queer people, people with disabilities and Black, Indigenous and people of color. Together, they work toward the long-term vision of building strong, loving community and empowered, creative media.

Vanessa co-founded Cliff University, a 501(c)3 non-profit that has the same values and themes as Cliff Media, with a focus on community education. LGBTQ+, BIPOC and people with disabilities lead in-person and online trainings to share knowledge, skills and collective empowerment.

Vanessa also runs a podcast called “A Slut’s Guide to Happiness” that draws on the lived experiences and wisdom of members of the community. Episodes range from light-hearted conversations like gangbang experiences and sexy ways to wait out an STI, to deep topics like hyper-sexuality after assault and survival as a trans person in Russia.

At Cliff Media, LGBTQ+, BIPOC and people with disabilities lead and direct porn scenes, offer classes and organize community activities.
Homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, and fatphobia teach people that they aren’t desirable or worthy of love. At Cliff Media, Vanessa and the team work to flip those narratives on their head, striving toward more inclusive, loving spaces where everyone knows they are desirable and wanted.

Vanessa’s work is informed by more than a decade of past experience in social movements, organizing for LGBTQ+ rights, migrant justice, prison abolition, and economic equity. Today, she sees her work in Cliff Media and Cliff University as an extension of her community organizing experience, with different means to similar ends.
She believes that laughter and orgasms are underestimated tools of revolution. Even when participants are in an orgy pile rolling around on the floor in goofy costumes and covered in cum, the exercise in care and enthusiastic consent resists the dominant narratives under racial, patriarchal capitalism that we have to live alone, silent or in shame.

Vanessa has a M.A. in Human Rights and Nonprofit Management, and a Ph.D. in Social Sciences. She lives at and hosts the Cliff House, a community space open to good-hearted, sex-positive, predominantly LGBTQ+ people for social events, mutual support and film production.
At the time of this writing, she has two partners and several close family-like friends, and is learning to strike a balance between Buddhist beliefs in non-attachment and the development of a stable poly family.
Most importantly, Vanessa is a solo parent to a happy and self-confident kiddo with whom she loves making huge baking messes, exploring yoga poses and checking out every book at the library.
