Behind the Scenes with Pornstars: Meet Alam Wernik

14th March 2021, 11:09 am

 

From being leather clad on the cover of Attitude magazine’s “Sex & Sexuality” issue to connecting with his audience on OnlyFans, pornstar Alam Wernik has truly been making the best of his quarantine. Alam was not only the cover model on this Attitude issue, but also played a part in its homage to #TOMs100 and the history of sexual expression that Tom nurtured so dearly in his work.

As we have moved into one hundred and ONE years of Tom of Finland, we sat down with Alam to talk at TOM House. In this interview with Tom of Finland Foundation Creative Director Richard Villani, Alam talks about creating porn in quarantine, connecting online with his fans, and how he fits into the history of Queer sexual expression. Richard and Alam also chat about the centennial book Tom of Finland: The Official Life and Work of a Gay Hero by F. Valentine Hooven III.

This interview is the first in a series of intimate encounters with pornstars at the Foundation, hosted by Richard. The full video is available in the World of TOM.
