I’m a 26 year old female who was a porn star. I still cringe at the title of porn star since I wasn’t a famous porn actress. But in reality it wasn’t my goal to be a star. In fact I shied away from any opportunity to be a star. I was asked to make different choices to be a star or more well known but chose a path to remain less known. The main reason is I knew there would be a stigma attached to what I did that would follow me my entire life. And if I was famous, I wasn’t sure I was strong enough to face that the rest of my life.
I feel compelled to write this now because of all the negativity I see around about porn and the porn industry. In some ways porn is more accepted than it’s ever been. But in other ways the media and the recent Hot Girl Wanted documentary paint a picture that isn’t accurate since it only shows one side. With being involved in porn come accusations, assumptions and sometimes a hatred for it. I’m hoping that in some small way I can show a different side.
