We interviewed porn star Lana Violet and learned about the ins-and-outs of LA’s porn industry, PLUS win a date with her.
This article was originally posted in the Jan/Feb 2015 Sex & Porn issue.
Why did you get into porn?
To be honest I wanted to be a stripper first. Around my teens I really had the urge to be a stripper because I had been to a strip club illegally and I just thought it was amazing what the girls were doing. I did my first stripping job and a woman told me I should get into porn because it’s more money. I did it and enjoyed it.
What’s the reason you like doing porn?
First of all I was a nymphomaniac when I was younger. I would have sex with almost everybody and anybody. But I wanted money too. So porn was a way for me to have a lot of sex while making money.
How many scenes do you shoot nowadays?
I’m slowing down. I do maybe 2 scenes a month. Nowadays I’m mostly doing feature dancing and stripping. With the recent HIV scares it’s a lot riskier to do porn now. I know a lot of girls get STDs even though we’re tested. A lot of them get it through escorting or stuff outside of porn though.

What kind of porn do you personally watch?
I watch a lot of tranny porn, girl-girl, and gay porn. I’m also into Japanese porn because it’s so kinky. I like kinkier stuff.
What is the porn industry like? Are photographers just having sex with pornstars and pornstars having sex with directors?
Not really. I’m sure every photographer probably has sex with one or two girls at least, but on many of the sets I’ve been on it was professional. It’s not really like the “Backroom Casting Couch” thing.
Has anything ever happened where it got a little “unprofessional”?
Yeah I remember I gave the director a BJ in the bathroom once. He came in while I was changing and literally just took out his dick and told me to suck it. I was attracted to him and he had a really large penis so I started licking it. Then we had sex in the bathroom. The photographer started banging on the door to get us to leave.
There was another time when a PA and I were on the bed talking. I was naked. He tried to suck my nipple and I pushed him off me. He was super creepy and weird so that’s why I didn’t let him touch me.
What’s the worst thing that’s happened to you on a porn shoot?
I was shooting a “monster cock” scene where the guy was massive. He hurt me when we had sex and I was seriously injured. After that scene I wasn’t able to have sex for an entire year because I was in so much pain. I was actually celibate for the entire year, which was really hard for me to do.
Who is the hottest Asian pornstar?
I LOVE Katsuni. She is so damn beautiful.
What kind of guy do you date?
Tall, cute, funny. I know that’s pretty generic. But the main thing is he has to be okay with what I do. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences. I’m very upfront and honest with what I do. I never hide it. There have been guys that know I’m in porn but then they get mad when I do a porn scene or strip. I remember one guy I was dating seriously told me “Are you going out whoring again?” which got me really mad.
PS. Did you enter our contest to win an intimate date with Lana Violet yet?
Are you single or taken?
Single. I’m just dating casually at the moment.
Is your boyfriend or girlfriend allowed to have sex with other people?
Maybe. It just depends on our situation and how close I am with that person. If it’s a serious relationship I wouldn’t want them to sleep with anyone else.
Why not? Isn’t that hypocritical since you’re a pornstar?
Well I’m a pornstar but I would quit doing scenes for the right person. Honestly. I don’t think I’d quit stripping because I love it so much, but I would quit shooting movies.

Do you have sex on the first date?
Sometimes. Honestly it depends if I like the guy. If I like the guy I’ll sleep with him on the first date. But if I don’t then no. In my past 5 dates with guys I think I’ve only slept with 1 of them on the first date. I’m little less promiscuous now to be honest. When I was younger I was super promiscuous and would fuck anybody, but now I’m getting older and trying to grow up a little more.
Wouldn’t guys be pissed about not sleeping with a pornstar?
For me to have sex outside of porn I must actually LIKE the person. I’m not just going to fuck any guy just because I’m a pornstar. Why would I fuck a guy that’s a total creep on our date or someone I don’t get along with?
Thanks, any last words?
Thanks a lot to Amped Asia, and be sure to win a date with me. I’m single, bisexual, and ready to mingle.
