Encarna does not fit the profile of your average silicone enhanced, pouting porn star. At 45, she is a late entry to that group of women who seek fame or fortune by performing sexual acrobatics and faking orgasms for the camera. Her first film, Breaking Barriers, is, however, already the subject of debate on internet chatboards and has even had entire pages dedicated to it in the Spanish press. The reason for the fuss is that Encarna is a wheelchair user who has a musclecontrol disorder called ataxia. . [...] Her decision to appear on screen with professional porn actors came after she wrote to Spain's biggest porn producer to complain that disabled people never featured in his films. [...] “It was very pleasant, though I was somewhat cowardly,” says Encarna. Unusually for a porn film, however, Breaking Barriers ends with a serious conversation between Encarna and her producer. “Disabled women have to take steps forward and one should always be happy if one breaks a barrier,” she says. [...] “We demand the right to decide on our own lives, without depending on other people who, simply because we have functional problems, take power over our lives, desires and future,” her website says.
