Initial Personal Information
[edit]I believe I have read that she earned a PhD from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. Her dissertation was on something like the educational needs of sex workers. Dick Kimball (talk) 19:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Article states that Sprinkle's doctorate is from an accredited institution. According to the wikipedia article on the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, the institution is NOT accredited, simply licensed to operate in the state of CA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Advanced_Study_of_Human_Sexuality It has been ordered to seek and obtain accreditation, but according to the most current data available (2015 annual report) it has not done so. https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/bppe/2015_summary.php IMHO the article on Sprinkle should be corrected to reflect this.

endoscopy
[edit]Based on the interview she gave the the Angry Women RESearch book.
doesn't she use one of the endoscopy cameras for the cervix thing, and show it on a giant screen? (don't ask me how I know that... a show at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London I covered many many years ago. No, I didn't see a performance of hers. -- Tarquin Actually Annie used only a speculum and a flashlight, no cameras, and she placed a microphone between her legs so when people looked they could discribe what they saw and make comments.
Pictures and descriptions I've seen have people literally getting up and taking a look firsthand.
- Early in her performance career she gave smaller performances where people came up to take a look, but as she grew more popular she would, in fact, use an endoscopy camera and projection screen. 68.222.10.9 06:03, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC) (Annie here, I never used a camera!)
"prostitute"-- is that libelous? What is needed is a reference to where she declares this herself, to keep Wikipedia out of court, it would seem to me, not being a lawyer. 67.118.116.231 19:02, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) Annie here: Yes, I was a prostitute from 1973 until 1993 in Manhattan massage parlors.
Can someone please look into the claim on the article page that Annie is the first porn star to receive a Ph.D. I believe Sharon Mitchell's Ph.D, from the same (non-accredited) institution, predates Annie's. In fact, my understanding was that Annie decided to pursue this degree based on Sharon's experience, although I can't back this assertion up and am happy to have it refuted. Normally, under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (the "Buckley Amendment"), a regionally accredited institution provides, upon request, the date(s) of any degree(s) awarded to any of their students. I do not know if the Buckley Amendment applies to non-regionally accredited institutions. Bucinka 16:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Annie here: I was the first American porn star to get a Ph.D. In fact, I was on Sharon Mitchell's dissertation committee after I got my Ph.D.
Yeah, I don't think Annie was ever a prostitute or declared herself one.(YES I DID!) She did make "boob art" though which is really interesting. She took her boob, dipped it in paint, laid it on some paper, and then drew an outline of the state of Texas around it and sold them at one of her shows that I saw. Am I a reliable source enough to add that to the page or do I need to find a written citation? GingerGin 08:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ummm... Well, actually, she writes about her being a prostitute in a number of places, including her web site. In "Post-post porn modernist" she has a graphic of the number of feet of cock she sucked, for example. Annie is not shy about telling people she was a prostitute. (And she is a personal friend of mine, and I'd be the first to remove something from this article that was not true.) --BenBurch 09:29, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Beth Stephens: Wife, Not "Domestic Partner"
[edit]Actually, Beth and Annie have now tied the knot in Canada, where same-sex marriage is fully possible. Excuse me while I accordingly amend the reference to Annie and her partner...

So, uh...

Annie Sprinkle Jewish
[edit]In her IMDb biographies it says, “A self-described ‘nice Jewish girl,’” and I have no trouble conceiving the idea that someone who was born with the surname ‘Steinberg’ could be Jewish. Actually, I just stumbled on an interview where she confirms having Jewish ancestry on both sides of her family. I'll mention this in the article and add Sprinkle to the List of Jewish feminists.
