CREATOR INTERVIEW w/ GREYSON VALDEZ.

How did you get into porn?

“I liked to film me and whoever I was fucking, if they were down with it, when I was in college and uploaded some vids to some sites as amateur porn. Once I graduated, I started sending vids to real porn companies, cause fucking for a living sounded like heaven when was I 22, and eventually got someone interested in hiring me. The rest is history.”

How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?

“Most of the friends I made in college knew I did videos and posted ‘em for the horny world to see, so none of them were surprised when I started doing actual porn. None of my family knows and don’t see why they would need to. I do real well for myself, and that’s all they need to know. So, nah, being in porn hasn’t changed my relationship with anyone, expect my friends asking a shitload of questions about sex all the time. Not that I’m complaining, it’s a fun subject.”

Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?

“If you mean long-term like into my 40′s, fuck no. I know i’m not gonna do this forever, but I also don’t know what I’m gonna do after so right now I’m just enjoying myself and doin’ what I like. Nothin’ wrong with that.”

If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?

“Damn. Haven’t really thought about this much. Probably get a bartending license or start a food truck, or something like that. Not interested in going back to college, did it once and that was enough for me, so that limits my options, job wise. But that’s cool, I would want to do something easy anyways. Anything that has to do with food or drink, because like, fucking being a waiter, would be cool with me.”

What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?

“Been doing this for too long for me to have just one memorable experience, but making friends with people I work with is definitely a plus, so I’m gonna go with that. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences over the years with company’s that have like, no fucking rules, but I’m in a good place now so they’ve been out of my mind for a while now.”

What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?

“Biggest advantage is obvious as fuck; I get to have sex with some of the hottest people I’ve ever met. Helps that a lot of them are cool off screen too and I get to chill with them outside of work. Biggest drawback has gotta be it taking three to four hours to get a take of five minutes. Sometimes it takes a lot for me to stay in the mood when I fuck someone and have to stop over and over again to make sure we’re getting the right angles and the right moans, but guess you can see it as a form of edging. It just gets annoying sometimes.”

What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?

“I love what I do. It’s not just about me getting my rocks off, but showing people that porn cause be pretty realistic and you can try out the shit I do in my videos at home (or wherever you wanna fuck) with your partner. I’m all about authenticity and I think it shows.”

What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?

“I’ve been working with a shitload of hot people and they just keep coming, so got some real fun stuff in the works right now. Doing some videos in public, some are educational, some got a lot of spanking and someone being tied up. I’m always down to do something new and exciting, so never expect the same thing from me.”

Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?

“Shit. I’d almost be forty so I kinda hope I’m not still doing this but I wouldn’t be the worst thing ever. I’m still gonna be hot as fuck in ten years but I think fucking people for a living is gonna get old eventually. Problem is, don’t know what I want to do after this so I’m just going with the flow for now.”

If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business?

“The fucked up stuff that some people get off to. Just makes them think that shit is right. Like extreme age play and shit where someone gets a beating for no fuckin’ reason, just ‘cause. Sex is supposed to be fun, ya know? That nasty shit has no place in the bedroom.”

FCKRMAN - CREATOR INTERVIEW

How did you get into porn?

“I was working in the industry in a different way so I just... kinda worked my way over, you know? It wasn’t like a conscious decision or a goal or anything, it just happened and I decided to roll with it. I moved over to LA like, 3 years ago after dealing with some shit back in Tennessee and I’ve been here since like, mid-2016. Sometimes it feels like I just got here, other days it feels like it’s been a fucking lifetime.”

How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?

“I mean, I’m not ashamed of what I do and never have, so I guess that kind of informs my perspective on the rest of that answer. I can tell you for sure that out of all the stuff I’ve done in my life, making porn and getting paid for it is kind of the least offensive, or whatever. I know my Ma would prefer me doing something else, but she and I just don’t talk about it. My sister’s apparently cool with it since she’s here now.”

Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?

“One thing you gotta know about me is that I’m not a long term planner. This is working out for me right now, so this is what I’m doing right now. We’ll see how long it keeps working, and when it stops I’ll figure something else out.”

If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?

“I dunno. There’s a lot of ‘if's’ going on all the time, but I am where I am and that’s the hand I’m playing. If I didn’t fuck up my knee in college I might be playing professional ball, but since I did, I’m here. How’s that?”

What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?

“Fuck, are you talking to people that keep a journal of all their fucks and write down their feelings afterward or something? I’m not gonna tell you about the bad shit because it’s none of your damn business, but I think some of the most memorable shit I’ve done is the videos I’ve posted in the last few months. There’s a buncha good people working here now, and I like fucking them.”

What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?

“Best thing’s always gonna be getting paid to have sex, and here, at New Directions specifically it’s being able to call your own shots and do whatever the fuck you want, you know? The 

What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?

“Uh, I don’t think you need to be like, particularly unique to get viewers. You need to be consistent and have sex with hot people and know how to use your body. The view’ll come to you if you’re putting out the content. That’s been my strategy, anyway. There’s nothing about my videos that’s like, super unique other than any of the shit you see is 100% real, none of that fake moaning and shit.”

What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?

“Do I gotta refer you to that answer above where I said I don’t plan shit? Because I don’t have like a five year plan or anything. I don’t even have a five minute plan. I film what I’m feeling like after jiving with my partner, and that’s kinda it. I guess I am looking forward to doing some more solo shit because the last video I posted with the epic cumshot’s got some pretty good views.”

Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?

“I guess after preaching about all the shit I don’t plan, I can say that I don’t t think I’ll still be in porn in 10 years. Don’t ask me what I’m gonna be doing because I have no fucking clue, but I think I’ll be on like, a second chapter of my life. Fuck, that sounds fucking dumb, but whatever. I won’t be here anymore. I kinda hope I’ll have a kid by then.”

If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business?

“I mean, if every place could be like New Directions, I think shit would be a lot better. There’s a lot of safety issues in porn, and I think a lot of that ladies here would be better at talking about that than I would be. Either way, I think companies gotta start listening to their creators and making changes for the people that are making their money.”

Ryder sits down for a short interview with NDHQ between time in the studio.

How did you get into porn?

Long story short, some sex tapes I had made with an ex got published. I got fired from my job and this was pretty much the only work I could find.  

How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?

I think it’s made me a lot more cautious, ya know. I’m not as open or friendly as I used to be with strangers. I think in the back of my mind I’m always kinda like does this person recognize me, why’re they looking at me. That’s probably a little egotistical but that’s not how I mean it. I uh, actually, I’ve only told a few people that I’m super close with about this. So, only a couple of my friends who I grew up with know and I haven’t told any of my family.  

Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?

Oh no. I kinda told myself this would be a pit stop before I figured out something I really wanna do with my life. I’m not sure exactly what that is, but when I know, I’ll tell ya.  

If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?

Something in marketing, I hope. I mean that’s what my degrees in so I would hope it would be something to do with that.  

What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?

I wouldn’t really say it was good or bad, it was more nerve-wracking. But for me, the most memorable thing was the first time I filmed and the first time I posted. It was a solo piece but I remember I had to close my eyes while I pressed upload. I felt like I was gonna throw up, I was so nervous.  

What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?

I think the biggest advantage is being able to make your own schedule, ya know, it’s not like it’s a 9-5 office job. If I wanna sleep in till 2 pm everyday, I can. If I wanna go live at 3 am, I can. The biggest drawback for me and I’m sure for everyone else who keeps their personal lives separate is that there’s a huge divide in your life. It’s almost like you’re living a double life. Ha, like a double agent or something. Not as cool though, just a lot of sex.  

What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?

Uh, that’s a good question. And that’s kinda shitty that I can’t think of something right off the bat. I think what sets me apart from other people here is that, at least I’ve been told, I’ve got this ‘boy-next-door’ thing going for me. I’m not 100% sure what that even means but I’m gonna hope it’s a good thing. I think I just look like an average guy so it’s probably easy for a guy who’s watching to put themselves in my shoes. I don’t know.  

What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?

I mentioned this once before but I really wanna do something where the girl is more dominant. I mean I love being in control, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just something about a girl who takes charge. It’s hot.  

Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?

Uh, in that amount of time, yeah I would hope I’d have moved onto something else. I don’t wanna sound ungrateful or like this is the worst job ever or something. It’s just, I don’t see myself doing this for forever.  

If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business

I think I would wanna address the stigma that we’ve all got Daddy issues or Mommy issues and that we’re all broken people. Like, there’s a market for this stuff. Why do we get all the shame when there’s thousands and thousands of people tuning into our stuff and buying memberships to see our stuff.

SIT DOWN WITH DANI DANGER: AN INTERVIEW SESSION

↳Dani Danger sits down and answered questions for viewers in an intimate one on one interview. Learn more about the New York native below.

How did you get into porn?

“Honestly, it was a total accident. I was low on money and working for Hooters at the time, me and one of my coworkers met this really hot silver fox who we ended up making a little home made movie with. The next thing I know, I got a call from a company who wanted to work with me and offered me three times what I was making waiting tables.”

How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?

“I haven’t really told my partners what I do. Most of the time if people ask I’ll be honest, I’m not ashamed of what I do at all because I’m good at it. But it’s more so to protect my brother, if I tell my partners what I do they’ll snoop and find him pretty easily. But my friends are all understanding, and the ones who aren’t can kiss my ass.”

Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?

“I mean as long as I can be, sure. Unless something major and huge comes along that tops this, which is very unlikely, this is totally gonna be what I do for a while. I already have almost four years under my belt anyways.”

If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?

“Probably would’ve pursued music a little more aggressively. The first no I got literally sucked, but it led me to this amazing industry. I love music and it’s something I still love doing in my down time.”

What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?

“I guess the bad would have to be the judgement. Sex is such a taboo thing to some people, but to me it’s totally natural and it’s fun and it’s something that shouldn’t be looked down on. But some people don’t get that and think it’s a horrible career, so I guess the looks and comments are a total negative.”

What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?

“When I worked at my old company, my video hit number one after I grinded for two years to get there which was huge to me. But I’d have to say a huge one was speaking at a convention for Latina women and what it means to be a strong woman, I don’t know how to explain it but it meant a lot I was able to speak there. The draw back would be not being able to be taken seriously when it comes to branching out of the industry and pursuing other things. Once again, the judgement and image of sex is ridiculous to me.”

What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?

“I want to say first that everyone here i work with is super talented and mad unique, like I’m always blown away with the talent here. I think my time working in the industry and my look is something that sets me apart. Dani Danger was like an alter ego I created that’s confident and strong and bad ass, and it shows in every scene I’m in that I can totally draw a viewer into the darkness.”

What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?

“New faces, that’s for sure. I’m working on making my first ever POV video, which is something the viewers have been wanting for a while, so be on the look out for that. I’ve been working with some super talented and familiar faces and it’ll be content you don’t want to miss.”

Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?

“Holy shit, I’ll be.....almost thirty four, that’s crazy. Maybe, if my looks escape me or I can’t do this on camera anymore, I wouldn’t mind help direct or produce scenes. Maybe explore music and stuff like that, who knows? I don’t like thinking about stuff like that.”

If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business?

“The whole stigma on it that it’s gross and messy and a bad lifestyle choice. Everyone here is professional and fun and we are here to entertain whoever wants to watch it. Let’s be real, a majority of people have watched or DO still watch porn. It’s normal, it’s natural, it’s not a big deal.”

[camfordhq-blog]

How did you get into porn?

“Honestly, how I got into porn isn’t that interesting of a story. Truthfully, I just auditioned for NDHQ and here I am. There was a lot of thought and research done before I just jumped on in. I had to make sure that this move was the right one for me, and so far I think it has been.”

How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?

“It hasn’t really changed my relationship with anyone. I can’t say that my parents are super thrilled with this career choice, but I think they’re more concerned for my safety than anything else. I think I’m probably just one of the lucky ones whose parents respect and accept that my choices are mine to make and my life is mine to live. As for my friends, they are so supportive, I get like five texts a day and at least two phone calls from them just checking in. It’s amazing and I know this level of support isn’t the most common. There are a few people in my life who have had a lot to say against me being in this industry, but the people closest to me, my inner circle, I don’t feel like much has changed other than me being on the other side of the country from them.”

Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?

“I’m only twenty years old, long term for me is like a year. No, but I know what you mean, and no I don’t see myself doing this for more than a couple of years. I’d like to use the medium of video and film to tell a multitude of stories and open people’s eyes to different perspectives. I really love the screen writing, producing and even directing aspect the most. So I would definitely like to spend more time behind the scenes than in them.”

If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?

“Definitely school, no question about it! I love school, I love learning, I love finding out new things, I love researching and writing and pushing myself to expand my mind. I am currently looking into schools in the area with screen writing and cinematography programs, so you never know you might see me in a class near you soon.”

What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?

“I haven’t even been in the industry for a month, so every experience I’m having right now is memorable because it’s the first. However, I will say I think I’ve already decided what the absolute best thing about this industry is going to be and that’s the people. Everyone here, is so warm and so welcoming. There is just this inherent level of trust in the foundation of this community that is just so inspiring and motivating. I feel honored to experience it first hand.”

What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?

“There are a ridiculous amount of perks. There’s the living situation, like that’s pretty amazing, I love my space and I love that I am surrounded by other content creators here, I think learning wise and collaboration wise that is the biggest perk. There’s also the obvious, free stuff, I never thought I’d need more than the drawer of my nightstand for my toys, and there’s a whole section of my closet completely dedicated to just costumes and underwear. It’s basically the dream. I think despite all of the love filling this place, the stigma attached to adult entertainment and how it prompts people to look at you and speak to you and judge you, is the biggest drawback.”

What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?

“Oh wow, okay, that’s a question isn’t it? Umm... well I think my look is pretty unique and my filming and editing style. I don’t know, honestly I’ve been labeled as different so consistently in my life that I think it’s informed my style and my personality, the way I carry myself. I think all of that translate onto film. Which is pretty cool to me.”

What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?

“I’m working on a series of videos that have been conceived by me, but will star some of the amazing talent that NDHQ has to offer. I don’t want to say too much about it, it’s still in it’s infancy stages and I don’t want to jinx anything, but I will say that I am so excited to be able to work behind the scenes for a while and to really flex some producer muscles. Also solo work, I think I would like to do a series that shows my sexual exploration of my own body, what does and doesn’t work for me, and hope that it encourages others to do the same.”

Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?

“I have no idea where I see myself in ten years. I just can’t even imagine me at 30 years old. That just sounds so far fetched and so far away. I can’t even imagine what I will be doing career wise, but I sure hope whatever it is I’ve found someone or a couple someones along the way. I hope I’m happy, I hope I feel light and free and joyful. If I’m those things then where when and what are as vast and infinite as space.”

If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business?

“I would make every company as respectful and conscientious as NDHQ. I’ve not had any horror stories and that’s because NDHQ has made sure every single one of their content creators is respected and celebrated. Unfortunately, a lot of my co workers do have horror stories and even more people only have horror stories. The idea that anyone might be forced to partake in a scene whether they want to or not because it’s their job, repulses me to my core.”

BEHIND THE LENS: Creator Interview

Getting candid with the resident charmer and self proclaimed hipster about his time as an adult entertainer for NDHQ. From what brought him to the business, what sets his work apart from the rest, and what you can expect from his channel in the future, it’s everything you wanted to know and a few more surprising facts.  Sadly, the clothes remain on. 

► How did you get into porn?

Straight to the hard stuff, huh? Really, I got into it on a whim. I do a lot that way, it never takes much to talk myself into something. I like a gamble, and this one seemed like a good thing. I made a few amateur videos and that got me a real audition here. 

► How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?

There’s only a few people in my life who know I do this. Close friends I’ve had since playground days, the ones I know who wouldn’t judge me ‘cause it’s probably ain’t off the wall to hear I’m in this line of work. I’ve always had a reputation for doing the unexpected and this falls in line, I think.

► Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?

I think anything in a business like this has a shelf life, so probably not. I’d like to find something I’m passionate about, maybe not rush into the next thing ‘cause it’s something to do. Eventually you gotta take your time and figure shit out, or so they tell me. 

► If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?

Honestly? I made great money as a stripper. Not like here, but working in the bar industry was good. I dunno if I’d go back, so who knows why I brought it up. I think,maybe I’d try my hand at getting my artwork out there. I’ve stalled on it long enough. 

► What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?

Good? Hitting 25,000 subscribers. That was the first time I actually realized I was a part of something folks were not only subscribing to, but were responding positively to the content and my work and creativity. It was a great feeling. I’m real lucky to have such an enthusiastic cheering section. 

► What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?

For me, it’s getting to be creative in a way that isn’t necessarily available in other industries or even at other companies. Controlling your ideas, your work, your work hours. It’s pretty ideal, especially for somebody who ain’t exactly built for a 9 to 5. Disadvantages, it’s a lot of bullshit you deal with, too. Competition, discrimination, wage fights, lots of pettiness. I saw it as a stripper and I see it now for sure.

► What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?

Wow, that’s a big question. What I try to offer ain’t exactly new in content, but the execution? Yeah that’s all me. I think it’s cool to give visuals, whether it’s different lighting, different editing techniques with color or setup. You know, give it a real cinematic and artsy feel. I guess you can tell I’m an artist. I like to bring that same energy in front of the camera when I work and behind, once I’m putting things together.

► What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?

I’m up for filming with as many different folks as I can, ‘cause I like getting that chain of ideas flowing, you know? In terms of what, I’ll be doing a livestream soon for the NDHQcares benefit, painting an original piece. Whoever donates the most money during that time, wins the artwork. So it’s combinin’ a few of my favorite things. Art, workin’ for a good cause, and taking my top off.

► Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?

As the late, great Mitch Hedberg once answered a similar way, celebrating the 10th anniversary of being asked this question. Jokes aside, I’ve never been the guy to plan that far ahead. So it’s a mystery right now. Least the new aspect part. But I know I don’t plan on being the dude in here for the long haul. I’d enjoy my time now and see where the next step takes me. 

► If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business?

The safety of the workers. Fair treatment across the board in about every way possible, gender, race, orientation, body size and ability. It’s come a long way but there’s still so much more, so many folks being exploited and taken advantage of. You know, there’s a big uproar in so many other industries with #MeToo and #TimesUp sparkin’ all these conversations, but I feel like it’s been quiet on that front for sex work. And that’s dangerous. I think there’s gotta be more education in like, health and wellness, and really calling out folks who make the work unsafe and unwelcome for so many. That includes other entertainers and the folks in the offices too. But let me hop off this soapbox and get back to work.

#NDHQTASK05 ► CREATOR INTERVIEW.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO PORN?

“It feels like forever ago, but I totally still remember my first ever video like it was yesterday. My college roommate freshman year had been making videos, and the two of us would hook up a lot just, like, in general, so she asked if I wanted to get in on the whole video thing. So we filmed a couple super amateur videos, we put them online, and they were actually picked up by the management people at my old company. It was a total Justin Bieber thing - someone saw our stuff online and wanted us to work for them. If Justin Bieber was a porn star, anyway.”

HOW HAS THIS CAREER AFFECTED YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE? DO YOU FEEL JUDGED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT WERE CLOSE TO YOU BEFORE YOU STARTED IN PORN?

“For the most part, I don’t think it has affected my relationships. I mean, there are certain people, mostly family members, who I haven’t told because I just don’t think they’d approve, and I mean, that’s okay. Not everybody is going to agree with your choices, and sometimes it’s a case of what others don’t know won’t hurt them, so I’ve kind of just accepted that, and with acceptance comes no change in relationship, so I mean, that’s chill. As for my friends, they’ve all been super supportive. I’m a very open person, and I tend to surround myself with other open, accepting people. If anybody is judging me, I wouldn’t know about it, but I also don’t think that I’d care.”

[more under the cut!]

DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS AN ADULT ENTERTAINER FOR THE LONG TERM? IF NOT, WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?

"Okay, don’t get me wrong, I actually really enjoy doing this. I mean, I left the industry for a couple years and then came back to it, so I feel like that kind of proves that I’m into it. But it’s not something I see myself doing long term, no. I like sex, I like porn, but my true passion is in body art, so what’s next for me is hopefully progression as far as that. I’d love to own my own studio someday, so that’s the big goal.”

IF YOU WEREN’T INVOLVED IN PORN, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’D BE DOING?

“I think I’d probably be doing what I’m doing now.. minus porn. I’d still be working at the tattoo studio, only I’d probably still be in Dallas. Maybe I’d have pushed for another season of Just Tattoo of Us, I don’t know. I don’t think things would be much different for me whether I was doing this or not, though. And I like that, I like that I know I’d be on the same path either way.”

WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE, GOOD OR BAD, WORKING IN THIS INDUSTRY?

“Is it super lame to say my first ever video? Because that was obviously super memorable, mostly because I was only eighteen and I didn’t know exactly what I was doing. I mean, I knew how to have sex, that wasn’t the issue. But I was just being very giggly and acting all bashful, which is totally embarrassing thinking back on it now. I wouldn’t call it a bad thing, though. It was cute - eighteen year old me was cute.”

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OR PERK TO THIS CAREER? BIGGEST DISADVANTAGE OR DRAWBACK?

“I think that sex is a big perk, and even more so when it comes to NDHQ because it’s the kind of company where you can tell they really care about the people working for them, you know? So I always feel like I’m safe when I’m filming, and that I can just have fun with it. I also think it’s nice to be able to own my body the way that I can. I mean, you don’t get many people heckling you when it comes to porn, they generally just want to see what you’re putting out there and use it to get off to. So I can embrace my body and my sexuality, and I don’t feel judged for it. I think the biggest disadvantage is that nagging worry that somebody who I don’t want to see me doing this might end up seeing. I mean, like I said before, I’m open about it, but I don’t need my family members logging on and seeing me starring in a porn video. That part is the part that I’d say is the biggest drawback, that risk.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK SETS YOU APART FROM THE OTHER CREATORS AT NDHQ AND IN PORN IN GENERAL?

“I’ll be totally honest, I don’t think I really have my own specific style when it comes to porn, so I definitely don’t think there’s anything super special about me. I think that I’m very adventurous and I’m willing to try anything at least once, but so are a lot of people, so I don’t know, this is kind of difficult. I think the fact that I can both dominate and submit well is a good thing, but again that’s not exactly exclusive to me. Aesthetically, I think I have a big advantage where my body art comes into it, because there’s a big following for “girls with ink” and a lot of people find it really hot in general, so throw it into literal porn and I think you have something pretty special.”

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU IN TERMS OF CONTENT? WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE FROM YOUR CHANNEL?

“I’m actually planning to take a small break, like, just for a week or something. I think it’s important that you don’t overdo it, you don’t want your videos to become stale, and self care is totally important. Once I do come back from my short break, though, I think you can expect a few more lives, since I really enjoyed my last one. I’m thinking maybe some more competitions, where people get to tell me what to do when it comes to my live streams. It seemed to go over really well last time, so I’d love to do some more of that. I also think I might start to work on a theme, since so far my content has been pretty all over the place. Which don’t get me wrong, is totally not a bad thing. Versatility is obviously important. But I do like the idea of my videos following a theme. I’m just not totally sure what that’s going to be yet.”

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? ARE YOU STILL WITH THE COMPANY? HAVE YOU MOVED ONTO A NEW ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE?

“In ten years I’ll be 35, and y’all will have totally hired way younger, way hotter people by then. But also like I said before, I really want to own my own tattoo studio, so I hope that by the time I’m 35, that’s a goal I’ve managed to achieve. I don’t think it really would leave me much time for porn, but I’m not ruling it out. I enjoy it, so if in ten years I’m still enjoying it, then I’m sure I’ll still do it occasionally.”

IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS?

“Y’all are going to think I’m just gassing you up here, but I’d honestly love to see more companies like NDHQ. I think there are a lot of companies that aren’t very respectful when it comes to the people working for them, and I think there are some really unsafe environments when it comes to this business. So, ideally everything would be as safe as this place is. I also think free birth control and health checks should be the norm, like your company should totally provide that for you, otherwise you’re opening yourself up to some terrifying situations, and I just think it’s really important that this industry is made to be as safe as it possibly can be. It shouldn’t be stigmatized, and it should honestly just be seen as any other job, same benefits included.”
