If you haven’t heard of or seen the new Taschen book “The Big Book of Pussy” well then you missing out. I was lucky enough to have been asked to be in this book by the editor Dian Hansen. She is just wonderful and we have since become super great friends.
Well I am the only man in this book…hahaa. That is so super cool that Dian would even consider putting me in a book like this. She said that of course it has been very controversial and you know I love that. AVN just did a review on the book and here it is plus the link to the original. I think it’s great.
‘The Big Book of Pussy’: A Review

LOS ANGELES—We’ve always thought that Kimberly Kane has a beautiful pussy, so we’re not surprised it’s made the front cover of Taschen GmbH’s latest foray into classic sexuality, The Big Book of Pussy, written and edited by adult industry veteran Dian Hanson. Of course, readers will have to remove the transparent overlay from the cover in order to see Kimberly’s pussy in all its glory, but that’s the last piece of hidden content they’ll have to deal with. Marie McCray’s pussy, for instance, gets part of the inside front cover, and that’s just the beginning of the miles of labia and lips presented in full, unfettered fashion.
After several full-page views—and we do mean “full page,” each of which measures nearly a full square foot—of women explicitly showing their pussies, often in acrobatic positions, Hanson herself steps in to explain why, throughout history, pussies have been both admired and feared.
“The simple truth is: Whether you prefer sweet endearments like pussy, kitty, yum yum, lady parts, muff, honey pot, and golden furrow, or slander like gash, fuckhole, stench trench, cumbucket, fish taco, and hairy axe wound, this orifice has such power to tip the gender balance that no man approaches it lightly,” Hanson observes. “One day, you’re just friends with benefits; the next, the trap snaps, and you’re brought to ground by the wily vagina.”
Hanson traces, in English, German and French texts, some of the history of the pussy in art, from paleolithic cave paintings to modern times, discoursing on the mythology of the “killer vagina,” then segues into a discussion of the anatomy of the organ and much more. And of course, the article is illustrated with many photos of the “big hairy,” including magazine covers, comic photo poses and explicit drawings.
What follows are several pictorial sections divided into decades, though the first stretches from 1900 to 1959 and includes a couple of shots by early 20th century photographer “JA” of Paris, who also produced several nudes as 3D “stereoviews” (which sadly are not in this book). And for those who like jokes about “smoking after sex,” there are several photos of women with cigarettes protruding from their lower lips.
Beyond that, there are several “interludes” featuring articles by or with porn luminaries such as Vanessa del Rio, who traces her years as a prostitute, her entry into porn in 1974 and her career (and life and lovers) thereafter—and her big clit; David “Pussyman” Christopher and his life-long love of pussies which culminated in his becoming a porn actor in the mid-’70s and a director not too long after that; UK-born “Vaginal Performance Artist” Mouse, who discourses on the British porn and sexual performance scene, and gives advice on how to shoot ping-pong balls and other things from one’s pussy; and Steve Shubin, an ex-cop who in response to his wife’s troubled pregnancy and a prohibition on fucking for nine months, created the most famous “faux vagina” in the world, the Fleshlight.
Also featured is a mini-autobiography by Flower Tucci, a “champion squirter” who got her start in adult movies after her husband rented several Seymore Butts videos that contained squirting, and she wanted to give it a try. As porn fans know, the rest is history: She became one of Seymore’s most popular “Tushy Girls,” and the article gives tips on how to learn to squirt.
The concluding essay is by Buck Angel, adult’s most famous female-to-male transsexual, who tells of how his parents called him “Buck” and raised him as a boy from a very young age; of how he first found about about getting periods by accident when he was 17; that he was a virgin until age 21 but “masturbated like a fiend”; and what life as a transsexual is like, both before and after his sexual reassignment surgery.
Along the way, expect to see plenty of photos of porn stars spanning over 30 years, as well as non-star shots by some of the best glamour photographers around, like Steve Diet Goedde, Suze and Holly Randall, Ed Fox and Steven Hicks.
What can we say? If you love pussy, this volume is a must-own.
The Big Book of Pussy by Dian Hanson is published by Taschen GmbH; oversized hardcover; 372 pp; $59.99.
Oh and here is a photo of one of my pics in the book..
Taschen-The Big Book of Pussy
November 26, 2011 · Posted in Buck Angel · Comment
Taschen is one of the biggest art book sellers in the world! They have the most amazing books. So when Dian Hanson asked me to be apart of the new book “The Big Book of Pussy” how could I say no.
Dian is such a wonderful woman. She is super sweet and really knows her shit. She has been editing and working in the world of adult books and magazines for 25 years. She asked me if I would do photos in drag! I was totally down for it. I don’t know why but I felt totally ok with her dressing me up like a girl. She wanted to recreate my “model” days. But I told her I was not going to shave my face it took me way to long to grow this thing.
So being the smart woman she is she just used ways to hide my face a bit. The photographer Ed Fox who did the photos is amazing. He really captured it.
When I was in London 2 weeks ago I saw the book in a book store. That was the first time I had seen the photos. So I snapped one with my iphone. I was pretty shocked, but in a good way. my Vagina looks so big! I really think this book is awesome. If you decide to get it you will not be disappointed.
Taschen,Out Tv, birthday, UFC 2

Damn sorry for such a long delay in posts. I am not making an excuse I have just been on the road non stop the last couple months. My trip to Helsinki as you can see from my last post kicked ass. Ashley and I blew them away. I met some super awesome new friends there too.
Ms. Diana Ball is so sexy and she spent time taking me all around Helsinki and even out to have a deer dinner. yep I said it I ate a deer. You know Santa Claus comes from Finland.I didn’t know that. This photo of us was taken in my dressing room.
Then the most awesome thing happened! The guys from the band ROCTUM showed up to my show waving a huge banner. It was so great! Then they left because they could not get backstage so I had the stage manager call them and they were at McDonald’s eating so they dropped their burgers and came back to see me backstage. They are the guys who made the “Buck Angel Song”
This last week OUT TV in Canada ran an exclusive one hour interview I did with one of my favorite guys and a true friend Shaun Proulx. It is pretty awesome and I am always scared how the outcome of these interviews will be. But I have to say I was pretty proud of this one. You can see a teaser here but try to catch the whole show if you can.
When I was in Los Angeles this last week I had the honor of shooting with Ed Fox for a new Taschen book that is coming out. I will not blow the surprise but it is gonna be so super I think it will shock you. Dian Hansen the editor is so cool. I have made a great new friend that’s for sure. She is so smart and really nice energy to be around. Ed is killer photographer as well. Things just keep getting better and better. I can’t believe how my life has changed sometimes.
I also finished shooting the final scenes for UFC2-tattooed and screwed. My next DVD. FUCK!! This is going to one of my best yet. The men are HOT and the scenes are so rocking. I got Greg York and Ian McQueen to fuck me at the Eagle in Los Angeles. The Eagle was so cool to let me shoot there. I think I am one of the few that has been allowed to do that. Sometimes I feel so special.
My birthday was this past weekend June 5th and I wanted to get home so I could be in my favorite place in the whole world! So I spent two days in my pool just relaxing and having sex! I smoked some great cigars too, The NUB is one of my new favorite smokes. Here I am with a couple of my kids
Well that’s it for now. I am off to Toronto next week to speak at IdeaCity10 then doing lots of stuff for gay pride. Check my calendar and facebook for all the info too.
WOOF!!
