Ebony Ayes (born January 28, 1962) is a retired adult model and pornographic actress. With Jeannie Pepper and Heather Hunter, Ayes was among the first African-American women to "cross over" into mainstream porn video. [Mireille Miller-Young, " [http://www.socolar.com/ab.aspx?aid=5004486&vid=64890# Hardcore Desire: Black Women Laboring in Porn — Is It Just Another Job?] ", "", Winter 2005.]

Film career

Ayes began her film career in 1985. During the period in which she was most active, 1987 through 1989, Ayes made more than 110 original films — 56 in 1988 alone — but by the early 1990s she was appearing in fewer than 5 films a year. Ayes's last sexual performance in an original film was in 1994.

Most of Ayes's films fell into one of two categories:
* "Black-themed" and interracial movies.
* "Big bust" films.

Modeling career

Beside her film appearances, Ayes was a model in men's magazines. She was especially popular in magazines such as "D-Cup", "Score", and "Juggs" that feature large-breasted women. Ayes was also featured in magazines that cater to Black men, such as "Players" and "Black Tail".

During the mid-1990s, Ayes wrote a column, "Sex Talk with Ebony Ayes" for "Black Tail". [See, for example, "Black Tail", September 1994, at pp. 65–67.]

Career as a dominatrix and a dancer

After her retirement from adult films, Ayes worked as a dominatrix in Atlanta, Georgia.

[See, for example, "Black Tail", April 1994.]

Retirement

Ayes retired from the adult entertainment industry during the early 2000s.
