"There's always this idea that a woman who does porn is disrespecting herself, but I completely disagree. Ultimately, yes, I am selling my body. I am doing the most vulnerable thing you can do - having sex - and I'm doing it in front of everyone in the world. So for me, I've always done it my own way; I've always been very stubborn and very in control - it was my way or the highway with directors and other actors. That was empowering.

There's another reason I call myself a feminist at the same time as a porn star: I'm exercising my freedom of choice. And so is everyone else in the industry. Whether they've made the choice because they have no money and it's an easy way of making some, or whether they just want to have sex and that's it, everyone I've met in that industry has made the choice to be there. Yes, every industry has instances of workers being exploited or mistreated, and porn is no different. That undoubtedly needs to change, regardless of profession. But, like other industries, it certainly isn't the majority many people think.

There's no reason the career I've built up in porn shouldn't be regarded with the same respect other women's careers in other industries are. I was always very aware of my principles - of my brand, of my following, of my look and of who I wanted to work for. I researched every single company before I shot for them, I said no to a lot of people and I've built my career up.

To me, my career in porn embodies everything I love about being a woman. It's power. It's different for everyone, but for me, I've learnt that being a woman truly makes you powerful, and nobody else's attitudes can change that."

 Side note: By the way, I joyfully look forward to my sensitive lovers/decent people kind of "groupies".
