Society knowingly detaches the human element of sex worker’s lives abusively and intrusively on social media. They are treated like sex objects rather than the actual human beings they are. One look at some performers’ Twitter feeds and you’ll notice them constantly defending their right to be respected like everyone else. If you knew of the extra elements to the lives of these hardworking performers, you’d know that they are not just human beings, but multifaceted people as well. They are so much more than that scene you just spilled semen to. This special group of porn performers can help shed some light on their alter-egos and into the very real lives that they once led or still do. From special talents to former careers, you’ll get a glimpse of what it is like to be “More Than Porn.”
Karmen Karma
When Karmen Karma took a reprieve from the industry, she had specific goals in mind besides starting a family. She decided to kick some powerlifting butt in the world of professional weightlifting. She’s since returned to the industry after her endeavor of life-bettering physical fitness. Now, she’s back better than ever with a bodacious body to bang around in her return scenes for the fans that stayed. Before her break, she had an impressive catalog that contained destined classics among her established fanbase.
Now with a memoir coming this summer (June 2019), Karmen is authoring a book under her real name, and she spills it all on the floor for her fans to see. Overcome: A Memoir of Abuse, Addiction, Sex Work, and Recovery By Amber Van De Bunt aka Karmen Karma should be on every dedicated fan’s pre-order list.
Some Karma klassics are included in this compilation by New Sensations called The Sexual Desires of Karmen Karma
Lisey Sweet
Lisey Sweet is that scientist babe we’ve all dreamed about or have seen in sci-fi movies and videogames. Literally, she can be that buxom blonde with glasses in a lab coat and mini skirt. Lisey Sweet actually has a background in the science field. Definitely not one of the characters she plays on the screen (yet!), but this studied sex star knows a thing or two about bacterium and cells, don’t forget the gangbangs too. She also happens to be one of the industry’s most active performers with this educated past under her belt. She’s been mentioned in Nature Science, as well as Hustler magazine, which puts her uniqueness eternally on both the sides of science and pornography in print.
You will fall in love with famous Lisey scenes like her legendary balls-in-the-ass DP that she performed with the late Bill Bailey (RIP) doing the scrotum-stuffing. John Strong is the other javelin in that double-hole jabbing. The scene can be found in the wacky city limits of Perv City at their Department of Double Penetration.
Maestro Claudio
A chief cameraman and director of the Perv City municipality, the Maestro can do it all. That isn’t even the half of it, as Maestro Claudio has a background in engineering and can fly planes. The keen eye of engineering accompanies him as he curates porn for what seems like a small country of porn fans, and he always interacts with his citizen, fine-tuning a product unique to his own vision.
Speaking of small countries, Maestro flew over his fair share of them. Once with a flight instructor he had a cross-country expedition that started in Rome, Italy and took over the skies of France, England, Scotland, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and then ended in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the US. The goal was to get into as many adventures as possible while taking to the skies as pilots. As for Maestro’s engineering endeavors? Simply for the challenge of studying, he claims. His studies started with electronic engineering, but then switched to mining engineering because of a Roger Moore film he watched from the 70s called Gold. Those were the Best in the West’s exact words.
Pay a visit to these Perv City performances to get a taste of Claudio’s magic:
1. Big Booty Anal Babes
2. Slutty Neighborhood Teens 2
3. PCU Anal Majors 6
Shawna Lenee
There is a real-life Poison Ivy involved in the industry. I’m not referring to an actress that plays the XXX version of the DC comics character from the Batman universe that is obsessed with plants; I’m talking about a very real performer that LOVES plants herself. Her name is Shawna Lenee, in case you haven’t heard of this bright beauty. Part of the love of plants stems from challenging herself, as she herself admits that she’ll never learn every plant name out there. There are so many species to study and research, but that is a challenge worth taking to the upbeat Shawna Lenee.
The industry flower has some foot stuff here on the Hot Movies archives called Hardcore Foot Sex 5. Check it out!
Lisa Ann
Lisa Ann is a legend of lore both in her own porn tenures and her storied knowledge of fantasy sports talk. Lisa Ann took time off from her career to build up her repertoire in a place you’d least likely see a porn performer: fantasy sports. She can definitely talk about football and probably school most people numbers-wise. She’s a complete workhorse still as she tours the country for her fans. Among the living legends in this business, she is one of the tallest mountains.
As an author, she also wrote The Life: Playin’ Palin, My Love of Sports, And Living to the Fullest On My Own Terms.
As always, Lisa’s fans are on her mind, and she recently brought back an old favorite called Lisa Ann’s Blackout for a surprise third entry under Evil Angel’s umbrella.
James Bartholet
Some current industry folk come from mainstream backgrounds. This includes James Bartholet from the world of soap operas and mainstream media. Now, he hosts adult-related radio programs on LA Talk Radio and recently just jumped on board with Vivid Radio over at Sirius XM. James is known as the king of parodies, since there almost isn’t one he hasn’t been a part of. Deadpool XXX and Not The Three Stooges XXX comes to mind when dipping into the endless portal of parodies that are in porn.
His radio program Inside the Industry is very positive and informative detailing the adult industry. The format revolves around interviewing call-in guests as well as live studio visits from major adult performers. James has also been known to give acting workshops to his fellow performers.
Manuel Ferrara
Besides being an award-winning champion among male talent, Manuel Ferrara is an avid gamer. There are popular streaming services out there for gamers to stream their content to actual fanbases. Manuel specializes in this culture of sharing videogames with other players. He even uses this medium to raise money for charity, using his name for the forces of good just like the videogame characters he plays. A charity close to his heart is the St. Jude’s Children’s Research facility.
Voodoo
Look up! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is a porn star that likes to jump out of planes! Voodoo, a veteran performer that should be familiar with those old collectors out there, actually had a background in being a skydiving instructor. With a background in adult films to couple with that, controversy was right around the corner. Rather than run from it, Voodoo embraced the taboos. One of these very taboos being jumping out of a moving plane while having sex! It is frowned upon in the aviation community, but a spectacle for the internet age.
Solidifying his veteran status, he starred alongside Stormy Daniels in an epic by Wicked Pictures called Operation Desert Stormy.
Danny Mountain
Besides having a definite love of the football team Manchester United, Danny has a vested hobby in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. From the obvious appearance of his athletic frame, this life-building hobby pays off for his adult film career. You can see him athletically tackling some of the hottest booty and vaginas in this industry as if it were a real full-contact sport. The in-demand male talent can be seen swinging his sword for such studios like Hard X, where he gets paired with some of the hottest porn girls.
Cherie DeVille
Besides doing porn for the mere love of living as a successful and stable porn performer, Cherie happens to have a degree in Physical Therapy. It is more than a side gig and originally her first career back when she started in Nashville, so money was never a motivation to join this industry. The sheer love of being a professional just happened to carry over into her alternative career where she’s currently killing it as an energetic porn performer. Even though you’ll see her play a MILF most of the time, there is one thing for sure and that is she can’t be contained. Versatility in her acting chops is proof of that. Watch the Dana Vespoli-directed The Coven Wives to see for yourself.
If it isn’t a former or current profession, it is a definite hobby. These performers are people just like the rest of us with interests and hobbies that go beyond the fantasies they’re perceived to be. Thankfully they are providing just that, a fantasy. But in reality, we have some very talented people in this wonderful industry revolving around the different walks of life they come from. Just like every other person you see out on the street and every other industry that employs human beings, we’re all talented and different in our own ways.
