She was a regular columnist for The Village Voice from 1999–2008, where she wrote the bi-weekly sex column “Pucker Up.” In print, her column appeared opposite Dan Savage’s column Savage Love. She popularized and re-defined the term “queer heterosexual,” in her 1995 column “The Queer Heterosexual.” She wrote: “In some cases, it’s based on either one or both partners having non-traditional gender expressions…or they actively work against their assigned gender roles. Some queer heterosexuals are strongly aligned with queer community, culture, politics, and activism but happen to love and lust after people of a different gender. I also consider folks who embrace alternative models of sexuality and relationships (polyamory, non-monogamy, BDSM, cross-dressing) to be queer, since labeling them “straight,” considering their lifestyle choices, seems inappropriate.” She was laid off from The Village Voice in 2008. She has written “The Anal Advisor” column for Hustler’s Taboo Magazine since 1999, and she is a former columnist for Velvetpark. She is the former editor of On Our Backs, the USA’s oldest lesbian-produced lesbian sex magazine.

Subsequently, she directed Tristan Taormino’s House of Ass for Adam & Eve, which shows a number of “porn stars” (from famous to unknown) interacting without a script.

She directed four volumes of the Chemistry series as well as sex education films for Vivid Ed, Vivid Entertainment’s sex education line that she was instrumental in creating.

Taormino says about her sexuality, “I don’t really identify with the label ‘bisexual’, nor does it feel like it accurately describes me…I see myself as queer, since queer to me is not just about who I love or lust, but it’s about my culture, my community, and my politics. The truth is, even if I were with a heterosexual guy, I’d be a queer dyke.” In addition, “she describes herself as ‘equal opportunity’. She doesn’t like the word ‘bisexual’ – it’s too polarizing.”
