Brittany CoxXx
Encyclopedia
Brittany CoxXx is the stage name
of a pornographic actress currently working in transsexual pornography. CoxXx was born as Adrian Cortez and had a successful career in gay pornography
under the name Stonie before transitioning
from male to female. Pre transtition she performed in more than 60 productions, appeared on nearly 50 box covers, and was nominated for the 2001 GayVN Award in the "Best Newcomer" category.Some fame was also gained due to a cameo appearance
in the 2006 movie Borat
. After transitioning, she was nominated for the "Transsexual Performer Of The Year" title at the 2009 AVN Awards
, whilst the film in which she starred, Brittany's Transformation, was nominated in the "Best Transsexual Release" category. More recently, she has been battling Hepatitis B but is recovering and as of September 2010 has begun re-engaging with the adult industry.
began in 1999 with an association with GayVN Hall of Fame director Paul Barresi
, and by 2006 this ran to more than 60 productions and included every major gay porn studio. Accolades included being described as the Kate Moss
of gay porn and "the boy with the hottest ass" – in fact, Mickey Skee described the star as having "one of the hottest asses in the business since Joey Stefano
's" whilst Jason Sechrest
described the star as an "insatiable super bottom with an unparalleled sex drive". According to one report, "Fans adore starring [sic] at [Stonie's] massive package and tight ass while he hangs with his homeboyz, macks on collegiate cuties or follow orders from his dictatorial daddies," a description that covers the major genres of Stonie's work. His "package" measures 8 inches and appears particularly large on Stonie's small frame. In playing roles where he was subservient to "dictatorial daddies" (that is, films with authoritarian, discipline, or military themes) Stonie was well-matched with Barresi, as Adult Video News has said Barresi's directorial efforts make him "undisputedly the king of military-themed videos."
Many of the authoritarian videos were made with Barresi and his Regiment Productions studio (such as Brig Brats, Carnal Cadets, and Wild Blue,) though he has also filmed a spanking
fetish
video for Control-T Studios and a bondage
video Roped Trick with Tom "Ropes" McGurk. He appeared in a scene with J.T. Sloan
, the 1995 GayVN Gay Performer of the Year, in the 2000 Pacific Sun Entertainment production Daddy Please! Working with All Worlds Video, Stonie made White Lies, Father Figure (where he appeared with GayVN Award
and two-time Grabby Award
-winner Sam Crockett), and the sequel Father Figure 2. For Catalina Video
, Stonie appeared in a threeway with Jason Sizemore, with whom he also appeared in the Studio 2000
production Straight Up. Over his career, Stonie has appeared on nearly 50 box covers.
A nomination was received in the "Best Newcomer" category in the 2001 GayVN Awards
, losing to Caesar. The two stars appeared together in the Men of Odyssey
production Caesar's Hardhat Gang Bang, which won the 2001 GayVN Award for "Best Ethnic-Themed Video".
was a 2006 mockumentary
comedy film
that was a critical and commercial success, but which was also highly controversial. In what was described as one of the best sight gags in the film, the central character Borat Sagdiyev shows photographs of himself with his allegedly thirteen-year-old son, portrayed by Stonie, to an etiquette
coach. In one such photo, "a naked Stonie is cradling his Dad in his arms" whilst in another "Borat [is] squatting down giving the thumbs-up sign to a close-up of shot of his son's large endowment".
RadarOnline republished the Radar
magazine report on the porn star appearing as Borat's son:
Commenting on the appearance, Queerty
noted that despite Borat exploiting "his son's genitals" Sacha Baron Cohen
did not invite Stonie to the premiere of Borat. Forest did comment that the star "earned far more for [the Borat] photo session than he would've if it had been for an adult company. We got paid a good sum of money."
Brittany CoxXx. After a year-long transition process involving hormones and breast surgery, Brittany emerged as a trans woman
; in an interview with Jason Sechrest
, Brittany confirmed that she still has her penis. Brittany's first performance was in the production Brittany's Transformation, which was directed by Paul Barresi
who had also directed much of Stonie's work in gay porn. J. C. Adams
, who has been writing about gay pornography since at least 1998, commented that Brittany's transsexual performance "may actually be the first time a gay adult performer has undergone the switch and re-emerged as a MTF actor. (Others have donned drag, of course, but that’s a different animal.)" Jason Sechrest confirmed that Brittany was the first to move from gay male to trans woman porn star, describing the movie as "groundbreaking". Lucas Entertainment
gay male performer Christian Cruz has since transitioned to become trans woman Christina Cruz, following Brittany in the move to starring in transsexual porn. According to Gay Porn Times editor J. C. Adams, the report of Stonie's emergence as Brittany was in the top ten most popular stories they covered in 2008.
The film Brittany's Transformation told the story of her transitioning
, and was well received. Barresi put together the financing for the film, decided to include older footage of Stonie to tell her transition story, and described the film as unlike any transsexual movie made before. The film was nominated in the 2009 AVN Awards
in the category of "Best Transsexual Release", whilst Brittany herself was nominated in the "Transsexual Performer Of The Year" category. America’s Next Top Tranny 2 took the Best Transsexual release award, whilst the Transsexual Performer Of The Year went to Wendy Williams, who had been a nominee in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Speaking of Brittany's Transformation, CoxXx commented that "since this is my first movie as a woman – in my new bod, which I totally love by the way – it's a whole new experience onscreen for myself and for the viewers". Brittany was partnered with Christian XXX (who worked in gay porn under the name Maxx Diesel) in the final scene of the film.
CoxXx left the adult industry in 2009 and moved to Florida, where she spent several months in hospital battling Hepatitis B and liver disease. By January 2010, her hepatitis was reported to be almost undetectable and she was recovering well. By September, Brittany was reported as fully recovered and made a live appearance at Micky's in West Hollywood, California, apparently stealing the show.
