AVN Stars Spotlight: Goddess Ishtar

The creator known as Goddess Ishtar began her adult creator journey while she was still in college studying foreign languages. “I first worked as a cam girl, teasing men, but then I realized I had the power to manipulate men,” Goddess Ishtar explains. “As I learned more about men’s weaknesses, I became more skilled.” Ishtar became fluent in English, Russian and Hebrew while studying at her university, where she also gained knowledge of Latin. And more recently, the intellectual goddess has picked up some Mandarin. But the area in which Ishtar has become a master is the art of femdom. “I have 15 years of experience in femdom and 10 years experience in findom,” Ishtar reveals. “As I learned how to manipulate men, I realized I could make them do anything I want. Then I started adding findom to my femdom games and manipulating techniques and it worked well.” She says findom is an extreme form of femdom submission. “By giving control over his finances a slave feels open and vulnerable,” the Goddess continues. “By going into debt, he shows that he loves His Goddess more than his money and he is willing to suffer in order to fund her luxury life. This is true submission. “Money is a strong tool I can use to make a slave lose control and make him submit completely.” And lately, Goddess Ishtar practices her art on AVN Stars, where she has built a community that she calls “a harem of worthy, well-trained slaves.” “I like to post pictures of me with brainwashing captions, that help me lure in more victims that end up being my puppets,” Ishtar says. “I also like to post recorded sessions and custom videos to show my power over my slaves.” Indeed, the Russian stunner is classy, elegant and intelligent—a fetishist who is “a genius at mind-fuck and tease/denial.” “I have always loved the creative side of this work, the process of creating content, creating a mood,” the Goddess says. “I love selecting and wearing sexy outfits, adding fetish accents to my pictures, and then writing captions designed to play with the viewers’ emotions, implanting behavioral triggers that I can later I use to control their minds.” In this exclusive interview, Ishtar discusses the popularity of findom, her personal website, IshtarXXX.com, her love for sport and her favorite kind of reading material, among other things. Where are you from originally - born and raised? I was born and raised in a small town in Russia, but left Russia when I was in my teens. What do you think of the AVN Stars platform so far? What are your favorite features of it? I like that the platform offers me fan club features and works as a social media platform that gives me more exposure and helps me build my audience. Of course, I like that fans can show their appreciation by tipping and get closer to me.  When did you create your website, IshtarXXX.com? How would you describe your site? I created my website seven years ago but for the first five years, I didn’t post much.  More recently, I have posted more content about my sessions and experience. Today my website has become a Wikipedia of femdom and findom where slaves can learn about my sessions and femdom in general. How does your personal website complement your work on other platforms such as AVN Stars? My personal website is a way to communicate even more intimately with my fans. In your opinion, why has findom become such a popular and lucrative genre of content creation? Findom becomes more and more popular because it’s thrilling. It evokes fear and excitement or complete submission that links fantasies closer to reality. What kind of video clips do you create? What is your specialty? I don’t have much experience in creating clips and there is lots to learn. I have been doing online femdom sessions for 15 years but creating clips is different and requires different skills. I would describe my specialty as Female and Financial Domination and Fetishism. What have you learned about yourself since you started your adult entertainment career? I have learned that I value the intellectual and financial independence that this kind of career can lead to if one is good at it. What do you enjoy the most about your profession?  Independence, the intellectual and creative work. What are your hobbies or interests outside of your adult work? I love books and movies. I am addicted to sport. I enjoy travel. I always study. I used to be involved in the import/export of cosmetics before the onset of Covid-19. Now I am a real estate investor—a landlord by day and a Dominatrix by night. What kind of books do you enjoy reading? What’s a recent book that you read? Do you like the work or any particular authors? I prefer works of non-fiction, though I am not averse to fiction on occasion. I dip into Carl Jung’s The Red Book regularly, because of the insights it offers into psychology and the subconscious. I am currently reading A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel, recommended by one of my friends, who is a financial consultant.   What kind of movies do you enjoy watching? What’s a recent movie you watched? I enjoy watching television series, particularly mind-bending, exciting, witty thrillers. I am currently watching the latest season of “The Blacklist.” Regarding sport, do you mean playing or watching or both? I like both playing and watching sport. When it comes to participation, I enjoy ping-pong as well as fitness-oriented activities such as yoga, aerobics, and pilates. Which sports do you like or follow? Do you ever attend games in person Which one is your favorite? As for watching sport, I follow soccer, because many of my subs watch it. I like involving soccer in my femdom games. I place a bet with a slave on the outcome of a game and if my team wins, the slave gets a hardcore task to complete whereas if my team loses the slave is let off lightly with a softcore task to complete. Sometimes, I attend soccer games in person (before and after quarantine, obviously). I love the way the roar of the crowd creates an electric atmosphere. And there is something grand about the grace and power of players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Robert Lewandowski.What’s next for you? New goals, new successes.
