The lie is that I was a stripper, I'm too shy for that.
too shy for stripping, but did porn? I think that deserves a story!
I was 19, I answered an ad for a nude model, it ended up being for a porn company. I did 2 solo photoshoots before doing my first video with a guy friend, then another video with a guy porn actor, then a girl on girl video (my first time ever with a girl). I was going to try to go big time but met A's dad shortly before doing my last video and decided I wanted a relationship more than a career in porn.
Porn didn't seem as bad as stripping because there isn't so much pressure to be "on" all the time, I was able to take water breaks (lol that sounds funny), pee breaks, breaks to review the film, I could stop and change direction (literally or not lol) and it could be edited to fit the final film. I was in a studio with the director, a sound guy, and the other actor, sometimes another female actor to coach me, and there was always someone in the editing room. I did one live feed for an online audience but because I couldn't see them, I didn't get nervous.
I am an open book about my time in the adult industry (this wasn't my only job) so ask away if you want to.
