María Riot

Who is María Riot?

María Riot's path into feminist erotic cinema began long before she ever stepped on a set. Working as a cam girl in Argentina, María began receiving messages from local clients asking whether she also met in person. With no moral panic attached to the idea and she spent months researching sexual health, labor rights, and sex-worker organizations before beginning to offer services. Around the same time, she discovered feminist porn. Directors and performers speaking openly about feminism in pornography lit a spark: she wanted to be part of this world.

For her, sex work offered her economic autonomy, flexible schedules, and the ability to be her own boss. With the savings she earned, María made a life-changing decision: she left Argentina and moved to Barcelona, where she began working in feminist porn full-time. Her admiration for Erika Lust’s work quickly led her to apply, and by 2015, she had become one of the most iconic performers in the ethical porn landscape.

After some experiences on a mainstream production, María expanded her career to become an intimacy coordinator. Her professionalism and empathy made her quickly popular on this as well, and today she works to ensure performer safety, clear consent, and emotional support on set. Her next dream? To direct her own feminist porn film and shape new stories from behind the camera.

María’s first collaboration with Erika Lust came in the apocalyptic erotic fantasy If the Apocalypse Comes, Fuck Me, co-starring Luke Hotrod.

She has since appeared in some of the platform’s most beloved films, including A Feminist Man with Marc Morató, the queer sex-work documentary Sex Work Is Work, Her role in this film is especially significant. Episode 1 follows María hiring Dante Dionys as an escort. This scene means his first time working with a female client, and her first time hiring an escort, which opens an honest conversation about stigma, desire, and the complexities of sex work. Episode 2 captures María enjoying a live cam session by Moth & Rust while reflecting on pleasure, connection, and digital intimacy.

María has also shone in Lust’s period-inspired orgy film Dirty Martini Sex Party, an ode to the liberatory erotic culture of the 1960s and 70s. As the film explores swinger parties, fetish gatherings, and pansexual exploration, María embodies the spirit of the era: free, daring, and deeply connected to community pleasure.
