Question: What was first…escort or porn? Can you tell us how this adventure started?
Answer: It was definitely porn. I remember watching a porn movie on my TV on an adult channel. After a few minutes, I thought, “Oh my God, this is really boring and pathetic. At any moment of any day, I could do infinitely better than that girl on the screen.” Later, I realized it wasn’t a high-quality production—it was quite cheap and poorly directed (which is common in this industry). That moment made me realize that I could do better, and it eventually led me to become an actress.

Q: Do the guests expect more from a pornstar escort?
A:
Yes, definitely. The goal is the same, but because they can see you on screen having sex, it’s like a hormonal bomb in their heads. The idea that they could experience the same pleasure as the male actors is a huge trigger for anyone.

Q: If you had to choose between escorting and porn, which would you choose and why?
A: As I’ve already mentioned, being a porn actress was and still is my main goal. I’ve never been in a position where I had to choose between escorting and porn, but if I had to, I would always choose acting in porn. Escorting is like the “cherry on top”—never the main purpose.

Q: Have you ever been booked by someone who had no idea you were a pornstar?
A:
Yes, more often than you might think. There have been people who didn’t know at the time that I was a porn actress. When they found out later, it was a pleasant surprise for them, and they were thrilled. I think potential clients are more interested in checking reviews than reading a girl’s description. They seem to value what previous visitors have to say as a kind of guarantee for their own satisfaction. The description area doesn’t get as much attention, even though it also contains valuable information.

Q: Most pornstars quit porn once they start escorting. Why is that?
A:
Being a porn actress isn’t as easy as 8 out of 10 people might think. It’s actually a really hard and sometimes frustrating job. You’re not in control of how your sex act is going—you’re taking orders from everyone on set. After a while, having everyone around you tell you how to have sex and how to enjoy it can be frustrating. But as I said, it’s not an easy job. This is a good reason why some might quit porn in favor of escorting. The goal is still the same—having sex—but with escorting, you’re back in total control of how, where, and when it happens, plus you’re well compensated for it.

Q: What is the advantage of being a pornstar escort and not just an escort?
A:
Yes, a porn star escort is usually better paid than a regular one. It’s all about the image, status, and brand. But it’s not a rule—there are many deluxe escort girls with very high rates who’ve never been involved in the porn industry.

Q: Is there something you do as a pornstar that you refuse to do as an escort?
A:
There are many things I do in porn movies as an actress that I definitely don’t do during escort meetings. A lot of my visitors are interested in what they call the PSE (porn star experience). To all of them, I say the same thing: these meetings are an opportunity to meet me in real life, to get to know me, talk face-to-face, and of course, have fun together. If they’re interested in my performance skills as an actress, they should hire me as an actress—that’s a completely different matter.

Q: What is your favorite city or country for tours?
A:
There are many places that could be named as favorites on my list of destinations, but if I had to choose, I’d say France. Paris.

Q: What do you prefer…12 hours with the same client or a normal workday?
A:
I definitely prefer a 12-hour meeting with one guy rather than multiple meetings. As I’ve said before, escorting is not, and never will be, my primary focus in the adult industry, so I don’t have a specific goal in it. A 12-hour meeting involves talking, getting to know each other, walking around, having dinner, drinks, laughing, and also sex. It’s more captivating and relaxing than a 1-hour meeting where you have to do a lot in a very limited time.

Q: Do clients like to spoil the girls they meet?
A:
Lots of clients have a tendency to spoil girls with small attentions, gifts, etc. That’s not a rule, and it depends on different factors. The first factor is, of course, whether that particular client is willing to do so, and most importantly, it depends on the girl. If she knows how to please a guy, not only sexually but also emotionally, she might get a pleasant surprise from him. Most clients are looking for a good time, not just sexually—they want someone who knows how to listen, be there for their issues and problems. Many love the fact that they can be open and talk about anything, laughing and getting silly without the fear of being judged. Others talk about family problems, girlfriend issues, or even ask for advice, so you have to be a priest, psychologist, friend, and lover, all in one and at the same time.

Q: Do you have any unforgettable experiences?
A:
Yes, I can say that I’ve had a few unforgettable experiences, but I’m not going to get into that—privacy matters.

Q: What was the most impressive gift you ever received?
A:
The most impressive gift? Something with diamonds. Not big, but still, as Marilyn Monroe said, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.”

Q: What is the part of your body that men love the most?
A:
Well, that’s a question you’d have to ask them, because they’re all so different—you simply can’t put a label on that. It’s like asking something about women… They’re all so different.

Q: Besides filming and escorting, are you involved in anything else?
A:
Yes, of course. I direct most of my own film projects, I run my own production company, and I do all the regular things any woman does—cooking, cleaning, taking care of my house, and everything else.

Q: Is a pornstar escort better paid than a regular escort?
A:
Yes, a porn star escort is usually better paid than a regular one. It’s all about the image, status, and brand, if you want to put it that way. But it’s not a rule—there are many deluxe escort girls with very high rates who’ve never been in touch with the porn industry.

Q: Would you encourage an escort to start doing porn? Why?
A:
If I were to encourage an escort girl to become a porn actress? I can’t see a good reason not to. Not that I’ve ever done it, but it’s obvious why an escort should think about it. Living in the 21st century, it’s all about image. You can spend a small fortune trying to build an image for yourself and expose it worldwide, but you’ll never get close to the results that the adult industry can provide for your image. Basically, you let others invest in your image and spread it around. They have every reason to sell your image and put you in a favorable light. You’ll never have the power or time to invest as much in your own image as they do, and they’ll do it professionally.

Q: Have you ever been blamed for what you do?
A:
Of course, I’ve been blamed. As long as there are liars and hypocrites in the world, that will happen. Not only in this, but in any other activity you might choose in life, there will always be comments about it.

Q: Is there anything you would change about your life?
A:
No, and that’s 100% certain. I would do things the same, maybe faster, and also be more careful about who to trust, but that’s another matter. I think everyone has to learn some lessons on their own in life, but I definitely wouldn’t change anything.

Q: What was the longest meeting you ever had?
A:
Yes, I’ve had some very long meetings, especially those that involved traveling together or spending a whole weekend or even more time with the same person. These are usually the most intense and memorable ones.

Q: Have you ever refused a guest? Why?
A:
Yes, I have refused guests before. It’s very important to me that I feel comfortable and safe in any situation. If I have any doubts or bad feelings about a person or if something doesn’t seem right, I won’t go through with the meeting. It’s better to be safe and to trust your instincts in these cases.

Q: Between these two jobs, which one is more demanding?
A:
Being a porn actress is more demanding in many ways. There’s a lot of physical and mental preparation involved, not to mention the long hours on set and the pressure to perform perfectly on camera. Escorting can also be demanding, but in a different way—it’s more about building connections, being present, and understanding the client’s needs. Both require a lot of energy and focus, but in different aspects.

Q: What’s the most unexpected request you’ve received from a client, and how did you handle it?
A:
There have been many unexpected requests, some of which I had to politely decline. It’s all about maintaining boundaries and ensuring that both parties are comfortable. I always try to handle such situations with professionalism and respect, making sure that my limits are clearly communicated.

Q: How do you balance your personal and professional life, especially with such a demanding career?
A:
It’s all about setting boundaries and making time for yourself. I’ve learned to separate my personal life from my work, and I make sure to take time off when needed to recharge and focus on my well-being. Having a strong support system and staying organized helps a lot in maintaining this balance.

Q: What’s your routine before a big shoot or a long appointment?
A:
I usually prepare by getting plenty of rest the night before, staying hydrated, and eating well. I also like to take some time to relax and focus on my mindset, whether that’s through meditation, a light workout, or just some quiet time alone. It’s important for me to feel calm and centered before any big event.

Q: How do you stay motivated and passionate about your work?
A:
I stay motivated by focusing on the positive aspects of my work—meeting new people, the creativity involved in acting, and the satisfaction of doing a good job. I also set personal goals and challenges for myself to keep things interesting and rewarding. Passion comes naturally when you love what you do, and I make sure to keep that love alive by staying engaged and curious.

Q: What’s one piece of advice you would give to someone considering a career in either escorting or adult films?
A:
My advice would be to always stay true to yourself and your boundaries. This industry can be challenging, so it’s important to know your limits and to stick to them. Also, be professional, reliable, and respectful—those qualities will take you far in any career, but especially in this one. And finally, make sure to take care of your mental and physical health.

Q: What are some common misconceptions people have about your profession?
A:
One of the biggest misconceptions is that this work is easy or that it doesn’t require skill. In reality, it’s a demanding job that requires a lot of effort, both physically and mentally. Another misconception is that people in this industry don’t have other interests or talents, which is simply not true. Many of us are involved in other projects, businesses, and hobbies.

Q: How do you handle privacy and security concerns given your public persona?
A:
Privacy and security are extremely important to me. I take several precautions to protect my personal information and ensure that my private life remains separate from my public persona. This includes using different names, being careful about what I share online, and always being vigilant about who I trust. It’s about creating clear boundaries and being proactive about my safety.

Q: What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
A:
The most rewarding part of my job is the ability to connect with people and make a positive impact on their lives, even if just for a short time. Whether it’s through acting or meeting someone as an escort, knowing that I’ve provided them with a memorable experience is incredibly satisfying. It’s also rewarding to be able to express myself creatively and to have control over my career.

Q: Have you ever faced any significant challenges in your career, and how did you overcome them?
A:
Yes, there have been many challenges, from dealing with stigma to navigating the ups and downs of the industry. I’ve overcome them by staying focused on my goals, being resilient, and always looking for ways to improve myself and my work. Support from friends, colleagues, and fans has also been crucial in helping me get through tough times.

Q: Do you see yourself continuing in this industry long-term, or do you have other career aspirations?
A:
I do see myself continuing in this industry for as long as it’s fulfilling and enjoyable. However, I also have other aspirations, such as expanding my business ventures and exploring different creative outlets. The beauty of this career is that it can open doors to many other opportunities, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.

Q: How do you maintain your mental and physical health in such a demanding industry?
A:
Maintaining mental and physical health is a priority for me. I make sure to exercise regularly, eat well, and get enough sleep. I also practice mindfulness and take breaks when needed to avoid burnout. Surrounding myself with supportive people and having a balanced lifestyle helps me stay grounded and healthy.

Q: What’s a typical day like for you when you’re not working?
A:
On days when I’m not working, I enjoy relaxing at home, spending time with friends and family, and engaging in my hobbies, such as cooking or reading. I also like to take care of my business-related tasks, such as planning future projects or managing my online presence. It’s important for me to have downtime to recharge and focus on the things I enjoy outside of work.

Q: What’s the funniest or most awkward thing that has happened during a session?
A:
There have been plenty of funny and awkward moments, as you can imagine. Sometimes it’s just little things, like an unexpected interruption or a funny miscommunication. I try to take these moments in stride and laugh them off, as they are part of the human experience. It’s all about staying relaxed and not taking things too seriously.

Q: Do you have any rituals or habits that help you get into the right mindset before a session?
A:
Yes, I have a few rituals that help me get into the right mindset. This includes taking some quiet time to center myself, listening to music that energizes me, and making sure I feel confident and comfortable in my appearance. These little rituals help me to focus and be fully present during the session.

Q: How do you stay informed about industry trends and client preferences?
A:
I stay informed by networking with colleagues, attending industry events, and keeping an eye on social media and relevant publications. I also pay attention to feedback from clients and fans, which helps me understand what people are looking for and how I can adapt to meet those needs.

Q: What qualities do you think make someone successful in the adult industry?
A:
To be successful in this industry, you need to be professional, reliable, and adaptable. Confidence and a strong sense of self are also important, as is the ability to maintain boundaries and protect your privacy. Creativity, passion for your work, and good communication skills are also key qualities that can help you stand out and build a lasting career.

Q: Have you developed any close friendships within the industry? How do these relationships support you in your career?
A:
Of course, during all these years, I’ve developed friendships. To be very well understood, this job is not different from any other job as much as someone might consider it. Basically, on a set, we are a team, not only actors and actresses that share some sexual experience, but everyone present there—tech staff, directors, make-up artists, everyone is working to obtain a fine product. So, clearly, with all new scenes that you do and all the time that you spend together, you’ll develop a friendship with all these persons. These kinds of friendships, of course, can be more than helpful considering that each and any of those people can recommend you for a new project if they consider that you’re good at what you’re doing. If you’re trying to ask me about another type of “friendship,” the answer is NO. I never mix my private life with my job area. I’ve had too many bad examples in front of my eyes during the time spent in this job to repeat someone else’s mistakes.

Q: How do you handle days when you don’t feel like working? Do you have any tips for staying motivated on tough days?
A:
To be honest, I don’t usually have days when I don’t feel like working. For me, at least, a scene starts when I agree to do it, even if that means a few weeks in advance. I’ve trained myself not to leave unfinished business behind, so that’s my main motivation. If I said yes to a production, I arrange my future plans around that date, and I prepare myself for it. So basically, there’s no way back for me. It’s something that must be done, period.

Q: What’s one thing about your job that you wish the public understood better? How do you think this understanding could change perceptions of the adult industry?
A:
I think the idea of sex needs to change in some people’s perception. You see, if you use logic, there’s no way there could be a supply without a demand, especially in such a multi-billion-dollar business as the porn industry. So there are far more people demanding these porn movies than there are people blaming it. Sex is a physical necessity and has nothing to do with feelings (not to be confused with sensations). Having sex when you’re in love with the person you love is different—that’s a well-known fact, and nobody can argue with that. So, according to this, sex in a love relationship is like the “cherry on top”—something that completes the entire and complex, inexplicable act of love. Over many years of intellectual evolution, persons has even tried to put a clear distinction between sex and making love. Remember the expression “It’s just sex,” or “make love”? As I said, sex is a physical necessity like any other (eating, drinking, even sleeping or resting)—maybe not as powerful as those I just mentioned, but still. Remember, please, that even in the army, throughout our entire history, women were provided for sex to the soldiers on the front to stimulate them, and this was done after strong psychological analysis by specialists. We need sex, we enjoy having sex, and we should not be ashamed of it. I think there are too many people spreading the ideology that sex equals shame, sin, etc. The sad thing is that those people are driven by interests higher than the truth and are usually the worst when it comes to their own sex lives.

Q: What are some of the most surprising things you’ve learned about yourself since starting this career? How have these self-discoveries impacted your personal and professional life?
A:
I’ve learned a lot about my strength and resilience. This career has taught me that I’m capable of handling challenges I never thought I could. It has also made me more confident and comfortable in my own skin. These self-discoveries have helped me grow not just professionally, but personally as well, allowing me to approach life with a more open mind and a stronger sense of self.

Q: What role does social media play in your work, and how do you manage your online presence?
A:
Social media plays a significant role in my work. It’s a way to connect with fans, promote my projects, and stay engaged with the industry. Managing my online presence involves being strategic about what I post, staying consistent, and interacting with my followers in a genuine way. It’s also important to balance being accessible online with maintaining privacy.

Q: Have you had any memorable interactions with fans online?
A:
Yes, there have been many memorable interactions. Some fans have shared how my work has had a positive impact on their lives, which is always rewarding to hear. There have also been funny or surprising moments when fans recognize me in public or send me messages that catch me off guard in a good way. These interactions remind me of the reach and influence of my work.

Q: How do you manage to keep your work exciting and prevent it from becoming routine? Can you share a specific example of how you’ve kept things fresh?
A:
Keeping things fresh is all about staying creative and open to new experiences. I try to approach each project with a sense of curiosity and willingness to try new things. For example, I’ve experimented with different genres or styles in my performances or taken on roles that challenge me in new ways. Keeping the work exciting is also about collaborating with others and bringing new ideas to the table.

Q: Have you ever collaborated with other escorts or adult performers on a project? What was that experience like, and would you do it again?
A:
Yes, I’ve collaborated with other performers on various projects, and it’s always a rewarding experience. Working with others allows for a great exchange of ideas and brings new energy to the project. It also helps to build a sense of community within the industry. I would definitely do it again, as these collaborations often lead to some of the best work and create lasting professional relationships.

Q: What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from your clients? How has this lesson shaped your approach to your work?
A:
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from my clients is the importance of empathy and understanding. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different needs, and being able to connect with them on a human level is crucial. This lesson has shaped my approach by making me more patient, attentive, and committed to providing a positive experience for each client.

Q: Do you have any hobbies or interests that might surprise your clients? How do these hobbies help you unwind and recharge?
A:
I have several hobbies that might surprise people, such as cooking, gardening, and painting. These activities help me unwind and express myself creatively outside of work. They also provide a sense of balance and relaxation, which is essential for recharging both mentally and physically.

Q: How do you set goals for your career, and what are some of your current goals? What steps are you taking to achieve these goals?
A:
I set goals by identifying what I want to achieve in both the short and long term. Currently, some of my goals include expanding my business ventures and exploring new creative opportunities within the industry. I’m taking steps to achieve these goals by networking, investing in my skills, and staying informed about industry trends. I also set smaller, manageable milestones to keep myself on track and motivated.

Q: Have you noticed any changes in client expectations or industry standards over the years? How do you adapt to these changes to stay relevant?
A:
Yes, client expectations and industry standards have evolved over the years. There’s a greater emphasis on quality, professionalism, and personalized experiences now. To stay relevant, I’ve adapted by continuously improving my skills, staying up-to-date with trends, and listening to feedback from clients. It’s about being flexible and willing to grow along with the industry.

Q: If you could debunk one myth about the adult industry, what would it be? Why do you think this myth persists, and how can the industry address it?
A:
One myth I would debunk is the idea that everyone in the adult industry is unprofessional or that the work is easy. This myth persists because of stereotypes and a lack of understanding about what the job actually entails. The industry can address this by continuing to showcase the professionalism and dedication of those who work within it, as well as by educating the public about the realities of the job.

Q: Finally, what do you hope people take away from your story and experiences in the adult industry?
A:
I hope people understand that this industry, like any other, requires dedication, professionalism, and resilience. It’s not just about what happens on camera; it’s about the connections you make, the challenges you overcome, and the personal growth you experience. If there’s one thing I want people to know, it’s that we are more than just our job titles—we are individuals with passions, dreams, and stories worth telling.
