Spicymeatball asks: Have you ever had a boyfriend while working in your film career? If yes, what are some of the challenges trying to have a relationship while being an adult actress. Do you save anything special for your significant other?
Yes, dating someone in the adult industry (pornchick, stripper, etc.) is challenging. It really depends on your view of sex and your level of confidence. Most guys have wanted to bang a pornchick, but not a lot have the confidence to handle dating one, and want the girl to change everything about themselves once they are officially dating. I can handle compromise, but not someone who will try to control me.
Everyone has different boundaries. The biggest problem I’ve had is when people aren’t honest about what exactly those boundaries are. If you want the bragging rights of dating a chick in the adult biz but can’t handle competition, or are a firm believer in monogamy, then you should really find someone that shares your same values and beliefs. Trust me there is someone out there for everyone.
Sex is just sex — at least to me — and sex at home is much different to a porn set. You can be on set for hours, there are delays, and while it can be fun sometimes it can also be mechanical. When I have sex at home away from the set, I am able to enjoy it and I don’t have to worry about my angles, the camera, the lighting, or worry where the cum shot is going to be. Porn sex can be amazing, but sex at home is just as great and when it’s under my terms there is real passion behind it.
If by saving anything for a special someone you mean he gets a free pass to have threesomes with various pornstars and strippers, than yeah I guess that can be considered special. I have to admit, it is fun to watch the guy you are into bang the shit out of another chick. It turns me on!
Fried Taco asks: Do you fantasize about doing jiu-jitsu with a guy, and then having it turn into sex? Because that’s what we fantasize you fantasizing about.
Is that why guys always want to work from my inside guard in BJJ practice? Those bastards!
ExpectJesusBro asks: Who’s your favorite current champion in MMA? Fav of all time?
SethF asks: Who is your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
Michelangelo. I think he was the more carefree one of the bunch. Plus I can totally see him moving on in his life having a beer gut, watching UFC at some dive sports bar, eating pizza, and bitching about how back in his day they had no weight classes or time limits.
El Famous Burrito asks: Dan Severn stripped naked between two parked cars in a rock quarry before going to work. Can you beat that?
How about having sex on the hood of a car at a Wal-Mart parking lot at 3am in front of the garden center with some guys from the graveyard shift watching? Your move, Mr. Severn.
RwilsonR asks: Both MMA and adult films have had to work hard to gain some level of mainstream acceptance. Can you tell us about what got you into MMA as a fan, and what got you into films as an actress?
The day I really got into MMA, was on a date with a guy and we went to Hooters to go and watch a WEC fight with some of his buddies. I never really watched it before, but it was exciting. I don’t remember who was fighting but it was a damn good fight! Pretty soon I was hooked and forgot about the fact that the guy was a total cheap bastard who took me to Hooters on a date. I became completely obsessed with the sport and tried to learn everything about it after that.
I was always curious about getting into porn. It wasn’t for the money. It was for the simple fact that I fantasized about fucking in front of other people watching me. It was such a turn-on to think about. Then, when I was in college I saw an ad looking for xxx models. I applied, and I have to admit, I was nervous walking through the door, but when I got to start taking my clothes off, I began to be aroused. Since then, I just kept doing more. Why stop something that is fun and enjoyable?
As far as Porn and MMA gaining mainstream acceptance, not sure that was really a question, but I don’t think it will ever be 100% embraced by everyone. But the more educated people get about it, the less it will be demonized by the general public.
RwilsonR asks: What do you think is the best fight that could/should be made in all of MMA right now?
I’m going to say Ben Fowlkes vs. Ariel Helwani. Winner is in the mix to challenge CP champ Ben Goldstein. Wonder what the betting lines would look like for that? If Dana White can’t make that happen, the second best fight I would love to see would have to be Jon Jones vs. Anderson Silva.
ExpectJesusBro asks: What advice would you give to young aspiring fellas who would like to begin a professional career in adult film?
You need confidence above all else. If you can let your junk hang out in front of at least six of the douche-iest Cage Potato members while they all make rude comments, get and maintain an erection with a room full of crew members watching you and still cum on the girl when they tell you to cum…then you need to take your ass to porn valley and get an agent. On a side note, drink lots of pineapple juice and egg whites before a scene, you’ll thank me later.
Viva Hate asks: Scatting or golden showers?
Which ever one makes you feel at home Viva Hate. If you let me pee in your mouth though, I’m totally recording it.
Fried Taco asks: When you’re having sex, do you ever think “Wow, this must be what it feels like to be in a fight!”?
If I don’t feel like you took me into the championship rounds, then you’re doing it wrong.
