Her work in pornography attempted to challenge the settled notions and assumptions of viewers about female sexuality. Because she did this, she was not a very popular performer among reviewers seeking titillation.

For example, her conception of a gangbang was based on the example of Messalina, a wife of the emperor Claudius. Messalina is not held in high regard by Roman historians, largely because of gender bias (although Messalina had other character defects as well.) Chong questioned the double standard that denies, and has historically denied, women the ability to exhibit the same sexuality as men, by modelling what a female "stud" would be. However, some critics note that one can hold up historical gender biases for scrutiny without being gangbanged by 80 men on camera.

Porn career

Annabel started in porn by answering an advertisement in LA Weekly which led to photo shoots and then an interview with director John T. Bone.

Pecker's Lonely Hearts Club Gangbang and I Can't Believe I Did the Whole Team. In Anal Queen and Depraved Fantasies #3 , Annabel took hardcore pornography to a new level, she pioneered on-camera triple penetration.

The production that propelled Annabel into the limelight was another John T. Bone's production The World's Biggest Gang Bang. Chong advertised on adult television for 300 participants for the event. Even though only eighty or so participants turned up, this still caused a sensation in the porn world. As well as being the largest single grouping of men ever, Annabel had started a new trend. There were to be even larger gangbangs, but none were as famous or were higher-grossing movies. Annabel was never paid the USD $10,000 she was promised, which was supposed to cover her USC expenses. After the event, Annabel made a host of media appearances, including The Jerry Springer Show.
