To find jobs after pornography? | Lives of 3 Famous Pornstars
Asia Carrera Lemmon
Asia Carrera Lemmon — stay at home mom — single mom and a student. Ran away from home from 16 and lived on the street at 17. In the interview with her, she said, her birth parent told her: you’d better kill yourself then all of us can have a better life. Later she had a foster family and she can get back to school, she actually was always a student with high grades. But once she went to college she stopped doing schoolwork and tried to get some income and stability for her life. She took some shots and modeled in New York at the beginning. And the photographer shared his resource on some adult filmmakers in California. At that age, she kinda thought it is a fantasy to be a porn star when there are classmates who collect the magazines, that are fans of some porn stars and wondering how they can have such beautiful features? She was fascinated by her career then. Asia Lemmon was famously intelligent, she is even a mensa member which’s the top 2% of IQ. And we can find a little story. The mensa international did not want to link her website at the beginning since she was a pornstar, later Asia made another more college-like webpage and finally got recognized. Asia started pornography at 19 and retired at the age of 30. She got divorced once, with an adult film director, and her second husband, who is a nutritionist, was killed during a car accident when she was pregnant. And she gave birth to the baby, a daughter next year. She has two daughters. She began studying psychology at Dixie State University with her daughter in 2017 and her daughter was only 11 and is the youngest college student in Utah State at the time. She started grad school in Texas A&M this year 2020.
Houston
Houston, a very famous porn star. got Cancer. Started modeling in 9th grade, and later she attended and graduated from modeling school, did beauty pageants, bikini contests, and got to know that she can make money with her body. She had a roommate, who is a dancer, knew an agent and introduced her to do the movie. She was pretty much open-minded to be more exposed, do more magazines. She was like “sure, sign me up”. She became a very famous porn star that is so famous that people travel all around the world to see her, need a body-guard, and give signatures to her fans. And become the head-liner in a newspaper. She was good at it naturally. She was known as a gang bang queen in 1999 and even took over the Guinness world title. After retirement from the porn industry, Houston went to real estate school when she was 18 and she thought it would be a good direction. She first worked for a home builder, but one day the corporate went to her community, shut the doors to her — someone recognized you, you know who you are, and you’re too recognizable. Since we are a conservative industry, we’re gonna have to let you go. Houston regretted that she became so big and recognizable that it turned her into what it did for her. People will think to do it short-term and back to normal later on. Most girls work for 2–3 years, and some famous ones can be in the industry for like up to 10 years. It would be struggling after the porn ends, since getting hired to a normal job will be a hard thing, especially for women. For most industries, the experience of porn industries is always a no-no getting the job. Houston was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer and dealt with Chemotherapy and drugs, where she suffered pretty badly.
Randy West
Randy west: singing in a band, from his early time he never thought about going to the pornography industry. He worked for bands and sometimes did photo shooting. In 1978 he found he could get 250 to be in porn, which is like $1000 dollar. He got into his first try. In his experience the sex job was just a job, he never planned to quit, until he started to be in a relationship and especially once people got concerns about the AIDs. Another pushed him to leave once the DVD came up and substitute videos. His company held his DVD rights which means he will get much less money than before. He wanted to change his work. For men porn stars it could be easier than women. And he does music and also plays in a band for the charity. Pornography is show business. Currently, in the porn industry, people worked far more days like every day, or every other day, that it ran up their sex life. They used to work only one day a week or even less. Porn stars received spam emails and some like “you should put warnings on websites because kids can see your videos” They are also threatened by email or even physically.
