Erica Fontes

Erica Fontes (born 14 May 1991 in Lisbon), is a Portuguese pornographic actress. In 2013, aged 21, Erica Fontes became the first and only Portuguese woman to win an XBIZ Award in the Foreign Female Performer of the Year category. The fictitious surname Fontes was chosen by her and her partner Ângelo Ferro, pornographic actor and footballer, when on their way to their first porno film shoot, filmed in a dental clinic in Benfica, Lisbon.

In her book "De corpo e alma : dos filmes à vida real. As confissões da estrela de filmes para adultos que conquistou o mundo" ("De Corpo e Alma. From films to real life. The confessions of the adult film star who conquered the world") (Alfragide, Edições Asa, 2013), she confided that "even today I always feel a sense of relief when the scene is over". According to historian António Araújo, the relief felt by Erica at the end of each scene ends up corroborating, at least in part, the chilling passages that the famous and gigantic Meese Report, with more than 1,960 pages, devoted to characterising performers of explicit sexual content: broken family backgrounds, drug use, exploitation on and off the stage, etc. (Attorney General's Commission on Pornography - Final Report, July 1986).
