Talking about her alluring body art via Tumblr, Arabelle Raphael conveyed how;

“My tattoos have various meanings.  My cherry blossoms and stocking seams are just cause they are pretty.  The locked heart and broken heart on my ankles were drunk and emo reactions to a break up.  My monarchs are tattoos that my sister and I will share.  The high heel is my femme pride tattoo.  I have one of my best friend’s tits tattooed to my arm (she has mine).  The key means I hold the “key” to everything I need no one else does. My feminist tattoo is a feminist tattoo.  The scissors mark a very hard time in my life where I made the decision to “cut” many things out of my life.  The “rite” is for rites of passage.  The hummingbird represents joy.  The phrase in French on my stomach means I will not be a slave to regret. And last is the beetle on my wrist which is going to get covered up. It represents rejuvenation”.

So where did it all begin? Born in Paris, France, Arabelle Raphael moved with her family to Oakland, California, when she was five years old. Arabelle’s mother was French and Tunisian, whilst her father was Iranian and Jewish, and Arabelle Raphael has noted within previous interviews that she was raised within a happy, liberating household. As Arabelle Raphael herself explained during her September 2012 Fleshbot interview;

“I grew up in a household where I was never shamed about my body nor sex. We never had “the talk”, we just talked about things openly (age appropriately of course). If I had a question I could just ask. Unlike most of my friends, I never really had to come out them. It just was, also my mother is incredibly supportive of my work. All this is why I am so comfortable”.

Before she began working within the adult entertainment industry Arabelle Raphael used to tutor children in French as well as working several retail jobs. However, Arabelle’s affinity for exhibitionism soon attracted her towards nude and fetish modelling which ultimately resulted in her filming her first ever sex scenes for Burning Angel Entertainment and Kink.com in late 2010. Arabelle Raphael feels that she has always been destined for a career within the adult entertainment industry and noted in her Queer Porn TV interview that;

“Sex work has always been a secret desire of mine, even as I little girl. I always saw some kind of power in it”.

In fact, Arabelle Raphael further elaborated within her Porn Valley Vantage (PVV) Online interview with Chauntelle Anne Tibbals, PhD, how;

“I have been in the sex industry for less than year and have performed for BurningAngel.com and Kink.com. I started modeling first and doing stuff for small sites – alternative pin up and that sort of thing. While I was shooting, I started to gravitate towards more sexually explicit themes.  The more I shot, the more I wanted to push my own limits – I loved doing it!  I was shooting with friends and photographers I met on modeling sites, so eventually I decided I wanted to try to make as much porn as I could…Before I did porn, I used to teach French to kids (I’m not kidding); I also worked in retail…

Some of my favorite things are the fact I get to sexually express myself, the fact that I totally get off on being filmed while I’m having sex, and that I am able to live out my sexual fantasies. Plus, I get to work with some pretty hot people …and get paid for it!…

Sex work has always been a secret desire of mine, even as I little girl. I always saw some kind of power in it. For some people it’s just a job, but I really love it. When I started doing porn, it felt like I had found something I was meant for…The most surprising thing about being a performer is that I am sort of jumpy before all my shoots. I thought it would go away after awhile, but I still get giddy and nervous …a little like a teenage boy about to have sex! A lot of the time you meet whoever you’re performing with the day of the shoot, so you have a brand new and unfamiliar body to work with. Once we get started it goes away, but I always get a little tense beforehand”.

Arabelle Raphael was still attending college when she made her porn debut and she revealed during her PVV Online interview that she is still interested in training as a sex therapist;

“Beyond the actual performance work, there’s a lot of networking and promoting different projects involved. It can be quite endless, but you get out as much as you are willing to put in, you know? In addition to being a performer, I’m still a full time sex worker. I am a stripper and cam girl as well – I create fantasy for others, which can be quite intense…As far as my life beyond sex work… I am currently applying to sex therapist programs. Sexuality has always been a very important part of my life; it fascinates me to no end. I am in the middle of completing my BA, so I still have lots of school ahead of me though…

I eventually want to specialize in [post-traumatic stress disorder]. Many women with a history of any kind of sexual violation are told that they are damaged for life and will never be able to have a healthy sexuality; I don’t think that’s true. I feel like psychology and sex work are somewhat related, especially when doing cam work and stripping. I have definitely found myself counseling some of my customers, which I feel is the most taxing part of the job. You never know when it will come up, and you aren’t usually expecting it”.

Want to know the most impressive part? Ronda ArouseMe: Grounded And Pounded (2015) even attracted mainstream media attention from BJPenn, the Man Cave Podcast, Complex magazine, Crave Online and the Playboy and Maxim websites. Ronda Rousey herself even publicly commented upon Ronda ArouseMe: Grounded And Pounded when she was asked about it during a Reddit AMA. Ronda revealed during this online Q&A that she sometimes used to be called ‘Ronda ArouseMe’ in high school;

“It’s funny I used to hear that in high school sometimes! At least some girl somewhere is paying her bills with it now”.

Ronda ArouseMe: Grounded And Pounded (2015) was ardently recommended by prominent XCritic column writer Sex Reed who stated within his November 2015 film review that;

“Arabelle Raphael plays Miesha Taint’s trainer and she wants to sway things in Miesha’s favor, so she offers the referee her ass. Moe The Monster Johnson plays the referee and he’s well-named because he’s enormous. It made for a hot interracial scene…Arabelle is a pretty and hot brunette babe and I want to watch her fuck some more in future scenes…

As a parody, I thought Joanna Angel did a good job of making this parody because it never took itself seriously and had a lot of humor throughout. I enjoyed the humor from Angel and Small hands playing the announcers, as well as scenes like Sammie dropping her dildo when she grabs a towel. I hadn’t seen a movie paced like this before, at least as far as I can remember. Angel set up the plot to where it quickly unfolded and then returned to it and showed each scene with all the sex included. The sex was hot, and I always enjoy watching Kleio Valentien fuck when the opportunity arises. Sammie Six is an impressive newcomer and Arabelle Raphael put in a good performance in a hot fuck. Overall, I say this one is recommended for those reasons”.

Arabelle Raphael : Recent Releases, Advocacy Work & Upcoming Projects

A pioneering fetish peformer with a passion for exhibitionism and exploring exciting new niches, Arabelle Raphael has collaborated with groundbreaking porn director Courtney Trouble on several Trouble Films DVDs such as Fuckstyles Of The Queer And Famous (2012) and the epic Girl Pile (2013) unscripted lesbian orgy also starring Nikki Hearts, Sinn Sage and Tori Lux which was nominated for “Best Web Premiere” at the 2014 AVN Awards. Arabelle Raphael has also filmed a thrilling three-way with Nikki Darling and Daisy Ducati for the Trouble Films production My Best Friend’s Perfect Pussy (2015) which was nominated for “All-Girl Release of the Year” at the 2016 AVN Awards. XCritic column writer Apache Warrior praised Arabelle Raphael’s kinky Trouble Films three-way in his May 2015 film review, highlighting how;

“This film is a good lesbian flick that has hot sex. The first scene with Ela Darling and Draven Star is the hottest one with the three-way performance with Denali Winter, Daisy Ducati, and Nikki Darling is the most memorable on account of the trio’s driven work effort, chemistry, and squirting moments. Their pussy pleasuring activities are a big turn-on. Eye candy Sandy Bottoms and Emarald X File’s passion should be paired up in the future for a hot sex performance. This film will show off Courtney Trouble’s very good eye in pairing up people as well as filming raw sex scenes. She needs to make more of them. I recommend this fine film”.

In addition to these fan-favourite Trouble Films productions, Arabelle Raphael collaborated with Courtney Trouble and her fellow feminist porn stars on numerous projects for The Feminist Porn Book. For instance, Arabelle Raphael appeared as a presenter during the 2013 Feminist Porn Conference – speaking on several thought-provoking panel sessions such as “Being Out Now: How Performers Navigate Sexual Morality  And Media Representation” with Tina Horn, Jiz Lee, Bianca Stone, James Darling, Quinn Cassidy and Sinnamon Love as well as “Safe: A Discussion About Mandatory Condoms And Safer Sex In Porn” with Nica Noelle, Courtney Trouble and Lisa Kadey. Talking about her alternative porn star status within her PVV Online interview, Arabelle Raphael highlighted how;

“The most challenging thing is definitely not being a ‘mainstream’-looking porn performer: I am tattooed, pierced, all natural, and am another ethnicity other than Caucasian. Though porn has changed a lot, there is still quite a lot of fear present in terms of going against mainstream standards. Thank God there are some amazing people out there still pushing the envelope and creating different content within the feminist, queer, alt, and BDSM porn communities”.

In fact, Arabelle Raphael often describes herself as a ‘sexual activist’. Upon being asked about her future adult film industry plans within her PVV Online interview, Arabelle Raphael mentioned that;

“Among other things, I am dedicating all of my studies to help people become sexually liberated, as well as educated. I am an ‘out’ sex worker, meaning that I do not keep my job a secret, and I try my best to demystify sex work to as many people as I can. Where and who I work with is also a big part of it – for example, I work in the world’s only unionized and worker-owned peep show…Hopefully, in five years from now, I will have finished my degree and will be working in my field to these ends. I would like to have more awesome porn out as well”.

In this manner, Arabelle Raphael has proceeded to shoot a wide range of groundbreaking TS scenes for Kink.com’s fan-favourite TS Pussy Hunters web series. We recommend checking out Arabelle Raphael’s festive A Very Anal Xmas shoot with Venus Lux in December 2015, her luxurious lace lingerie shoot with Morgan Bailey in January 2016 and her steamy Sauna Perverts scenes with Tori Mayes that were distributed via TS Pussy Hunters in January 2017.
