The Sex in My Business: Sex is an essential part of my work as an adult entertainer. I cam. I text. I promote. I post. I am a porn star, an actress, and a model. Sex sells and I have found that you can sell anything related to sex. So, I sell it all—from talking to me on the phone or over the interwebs, to worshiping my feet.
A Typical Day: I wake up between 10:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Once I’m up, I take my pup out every four hours. We often go to the park on our walks. Then I cam, text, and/or model, depending on what I have going on that day. I am usually home by 9 p.m. and in bed by 2 a.m.
The Best Part: I am my own boss — I only work if I want to take the job. No one is pressuring me to work or to stay at work. It is about being comfortable all day long for me, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
The Worst Part: Waking up early. This mostly happens when I shoot porn, as the call times for this work are normally quite early, but I try to avoid it if I can. I have anxiety when I have to get up early because I always worry I will miss my alarms, but thankfully, I never do.
How I Got Here: I used to be a substitute teacher and worked with kids of all levels, ranging from kindergarten to high school. Since there wasn’t any school during the summer, one day my husband suggested that I try camming on the computer. I think the first site I worked on was called WebCamModels.com, but I don’t fully remember. It was a small site that I easily took over by rising to the top of the leaderboard very quickly. My first time camming was actually on the balcony at a friend’s house late at night. I was hiding that I was a cam model back then, so I had to be super quiet. I remember strip teasing for the client and being super shy, but that faded easily — I am not shy anymore! I am now in my sixth year of camming and still have so much fun. I love checking in with my clients every day and hope to have new equipment soon.
What Society Thinks: People on the street are only strangers and no one should care what they think. Some like my job. Others will have nothing to do with it and shame me. So, it’s best to just do me and forget about the strangers of the world. Sometimes it is hard to face new crowds knowing I might be judged based on my occupation, but my family is completely supportive and I am stronger knowing that. My husband loves my work. He is my biggest fan and offers helpful critiques so I can get better. I embrace myself and my work every day.
When I’m Not At Work: I get high and hang out with my roommate Aria Haze and our puppies.
