Gay Kink Stars Axel Abysse and Yoshi Kawasaki Premiere “One Take” Live Sex Performance, Talk and Seminar Q&A
(Las Vegas, 4 May 2023)
For Immediate release
May 28th, 2022. Brussels, Belgium. French kink and fetish star Axel Abysse and his frequent collaborator, Japanese Yoshi Kawasaki take the stage for a live sex show in an unusual venue. Onstage at SNAP! festival and conference, Sex workers Narratives Arts & Politics, a “festival entirely dedicated to the discourses, representations and issues related to sex work,” Yoshi and Axel perform a fisting and sex performance followed by a discussion and a Q&A session, to address issues in making porn and fetish sex. Almost one year later, the performance and related discussions make their debut at AxelAbysse.com and YoshiKawasakiXXX.com Friday, May 5th.
Yoshi and Axel are releasing the movie now to coincide with the 2023 edition of the Snap! Festival in collaboration with the Brussels Porn Film Festival (which is also presenting Axel’s films “Vice Versa”, “Baptism” and “The Experiment”). The “One Take” video documents their performance before festival attendees, and two discussions, “Snap Talk” and “Snap Q&A” (available as bonus videos to site subscribers) round out a full virtual experience of their SNAP! conference session.
Axel recounts his experience of performing live for conference attendees. “I’m used to performing on stage in sex clubs or fetish events such as Darklands, but this was very different. First, being asked to talk about my work, and more precisely my life as a French sex worker expatriated in Japan, was both intimidating and enriching. I rarely take the time to step back and analyze what my career or my work can mean to myself or my audience. When performing in sex clubs, my only task is to be the pig that I am and turn on the spectators who came to see fisting. Here, the audience is a mix of all genders, most people being sex workers themselves, with a curiosity but not necessarily into or experienced with fisting/extreme practices. According to the questions we were asked after the filming, what struck some people in the audience was our level of intimacy despite the intensity of the practices. That means we reached the goal I have with my movies in general, focusing on showcasing the care for one another through fisting, which most people tend to view as violent and degrading. This is why I also love that kind of performance format, for an open-minded audience that is not necessarily the main target of the usual gay fisting porn. As a pansexual myself, I want my work to be able to reach all kinds of people too.” Partner Yoshi concurs. “Performing at SNAP! Festival was such a breath of fresh air. The crowd there were genuinely welcoming and I really appreciated the non-judgmental atmosphere the whole festival had.”
Festival organizer Marianne Chargois was familiar with Abysse and Kawasaki’s online work and was eager to bring them aboard into the event. “As a programmer of a pornographic festival, I discovered the films of Axel Abysse and Yoshi Kawasaki. As a fist-fucking fan, I literally felt in love with their asses. As a sex worker, I was impressed by their athletic skills. It became an obsession: I wanted to give the SNAP festival audience as well as my own inner pervert this incredible experience of watching their pornographic performance live. It was a noble goal: I had never experienced such a moment of excitement, emotion and power.”
“One Take” and bonus event videos “SNAP Talk!” and “SNAP Q&A” will all be available as of Friday, May 5th at AxelAbysse.com and YoshiKawasakiXXX.com.
About Axel Abysse: Born in the in the countryside of south France, introverted and unconfident as a kid, Axel escaped into his dreams and captured his fantasies on paper, writing and drawing on sketchbooks. His artistic interests soon brought him to pornography, as his growing body showed the first desires to be explored. While studying arts and more importantly cinema in Paris, Axel took a fist in him for the first time at 18, and never went back. Later, living in Japan, he explored photography using his obscene self as a model. Surprised, yet turned on by the reaction of hundreds of admirers online, he decides to share what he calls “his curse” with the world. Abysse is born. With exhibition as a pretext to exercise his self-taught filmmaking skills, a first video is uploaded on Xtube in 2014. It is the first of a long series of sometimes, somewhat experimental pornographic pieces in which the performer explores the art of fisting, alone or with partners from all over the world. His work started getting more attention over the months, and he was then invited by renowned studios to perform in the USA with big names of the industry, such as Brian Bonds and Amerifist. In 2017, after meeting with the inspirational trans-porn icon Buck Angel, Axel decided to fully embrace his creative and sexual passions with his website.
About Yoshi Kawasaki : Born in Japan, from a young age I had a big interest in fetish, reading erotic mangas mainly by Gengoroh Tagame. Once I started watching porn, my dream was to become a porn actor. That is when I started developing the fantasy of being used and abused by men as if I were just a piece of meat.
In 2011, I went to live abroad for the first time. My first stop was in Redondo Beach, California in the United States. There, while I studied English, I also studied the taste of men of other races. In 2013, I moved to London, England, where I had my debut in porn with UKHotJocks! At the same time as I started exploring the porn world, I also started exploring the world of fetish in person.
During my explorations, I also discovered PrEP and PeP. Once I discovered the taste of bareback, I knew there was no turning back for me. And now I can say I’m a proud cumdump! I’m thrilled that I am now both in front and behind the camera, to not only make all my own sexual fantasies come to life, but also to please all of my fans in new and unexpected ways.
