At age twenty-two, Jessy Nikea moved to Russia where she would later be introduced to the porn industry. Starring in many different niche scenes from anal to interracial to group sex. Spending only a few years in porn, she made her impact collecting fans from all around the world. I was lucky enough to sit down and interview the lovely, kind and genuine Jessy Nikea, enjoy!

What led to you starring in porn?

It’s a very long story since a lot went into the decision, but the short answer is; I was travelling in Russia for a few months after college, visiting my Mom’s family. I met some people and started hanging out with that group. A few of them were involved in producing and acting in porn scenes. They asked if I’d ever be interested and after some soul searching, I decided to try it.

Are you still performing in the industry?

No. Last time in porn was 2012.

What factored into your decision to retire?

There wasn’t one thing. It was a combination of being back in the US, not really liking all the scenes I was doing and the fear of being seen by someone I knew.

What are you doing now, after porn?

I work in the hotel and resort business as a marketing professional. My family was in this business and I went to college for marketing so it’s something I’ve been doing for a long time.

What were you like in high school?

I tried really hard not to stand out. My family was known due to a business we owned locally and I just wanted to be treated like everyone else and not some rich girl. I worked a lot, so I didn’t have a lot of close friends, but I did date the same guy all through high school.

Have you ever been recognised in public?

Yes, a few times, but not often. Sometimes someone can’t place me, but say I look familiar so maybe they know me from there. There was one guy I worked with that recognised me, but he was very respectful about it.

For you, what are the best and worst aspects of the porn industry?

The best things are being the centre of attention and being made to feel desirable and sexual. Being able to let your hair down and embrace your sexuality. The worst is probably the way some scenes were filmed or the stigma attached to the industry by some.

Care to elaborate a bit on what you mean by “the way some scenes were filmed”?

There is often a lot of stopping and starting so its hard to stay genuinely excited. Also I like to close my eyes at times during sex to have a greater sense of feeling and that was frowned upon. Also had to fake moan some. I hate that. lol

Did you strictly work with male co-stars?

I did a few scenes where other women were involved, but guys were always in the scene too. I never did any girl only scenes.

Time for the age old question. Does size matter?

Yes and no. It’s not a deciding factor in whether a guy is great sexually, but there is no denying size can add that wow factor or looks better in a scene since I’m small and it makes a guy look even larger. Honestly, my first scene I was taken aback at how a large guy felt when he first entered me. It has a different feeling to it and I wasn’t ready for what it would feel like.

What was the largest porn star you’ve been with?

They varied from about 6” and thick to one that was measured at 10.5 inches (No, I couldn’t handle him all). Most guys are definitely longer than normal, but most are definitely thicker than the norm.

What was your favourite scene to film?

In some ways my very first scene was, but I think one of the massage scenes I did was my favourite. I love sensual massages and was very turned on that day showing up for the scene. Having an orgasm during a scene was rare, but I did during that scene. Right up there with experiencing being with more than one guy at a time since I was living out a fantasy.

What was the most men you’ve been with in a single scene?

The most in a scene was three.

Have you ever had sex with a co-star behind the scenes?

Yes, I did. With two different co-stars, I did.

Are you single? If not, what does your significant other think about your work?

I have a long distant boyfriend at present and we’ve been together for a couple years. He is the most supportive person I know about my work. He knew before we dated and has been 100% supportive even liking to watch my scenes while we are together.

In what ways does your personal sex life differ from your business sex life? If at all.

I tried to be authentic during scenes but it’s not always possible. In a lot of ways or some scenes I was the same as my personal life. Others I had to adapt or be different like being more vocal. I’m more on the submissive side and that lent itself really well in porn scenes where being submissive was often what was desired. Since porn I’m a little bit more open to experiences I want. I don’t have sex with a lot of different guys usually like you do in porn. I’ve had just a few boyfriends and friends with benefits since porn ended for the most part.

Does any of your family and friends know? If so, what were their initial thoughts upon telling them?

My parents just found out recently and those conversations went about as well as could be expected. I told my sister about two years ago and she at first didn’t believe me and then after that she was very supportive and asked me a lot of questions. Some friends know and some don’t. I don’t openly tell people about it, but if they find out and ask, I will tell them. If I would ever date anyone else, I would tell them early on though.

Was Russia the only place you worked? Or did you also work in the United States?

Yes, Russia was the only place I filmed porn.

Based on your knowledge of the industry in the United States, did you notice any differences?

Yes, for sure I did after doing some scenes. Anal was a big deal in Russia so more scenes featured it I noticed. Also there is a lot more fake moaning and acting in American porn. The women are more vocal saying what I think is stupid stuff to the guys. It doesn’t seem natural to me. Not that porn sex is real or natural, but I find myself turning off most American porn because of how fake it is except for maybe amateur porn. I think some of the women have too much plastic surgery too. Most women in Russia just have natural bodies and don’t have enhanced breasts or anything.

Do you genuinely enjoy anal sex?

A lot of my scenes involved anal sex and yes, I can find it enjoyable most of the time. I don’t like having it all the time and I have to be in the mood and prepare. Anal in scenes can be a lot harder than in real life because of the size of the guys, the roughness and the duration of a scene. It’s hard to have anal sex for two hours off and on, capturing different positions especially when you are asked to be submissive and take it roughly. It can be erotic too and in my personal life I know most guys like it so I like to please them by doing it.

What acts or scenes did you draw the line at? Or were you fairly open minded?

I tried to say yes to every scene since I wanted to be good to work with. I definitely said no to a few things but it was more about concerns about my identity more than anything. They wanted to play up the fact that I was American and I was concerned my real identity would be easily discovered. Some themes included me being an American Navy officer taken and seduced or dominated by Russian soldiers. I never wanted to be a big star and be found out, so I said no to those story lines.

What is a funny or weird story that happened on set?

The funniest was probably getting to work with a new male actor. He was incredibly nervous and we transitioned from me performing oral on him to sex. He started thrusting and the director told him to fuck me harder and within like twenty seconds of doing that he lost control and came. It was both funny and sad. We took a break and he could’t get hard again so we never completed the scene. I don’t think he ever shot another scene.

Any horror stories from the set?

The disagreement I had before a scene and subsequently being drugged was really the only horror story. I’ve come to terms with it and I could have handled the situation better too. Once I didn’t prepare enough for an anal scene so that caused some pain at first.

What stereotypes about porn stars did you find to be untrue?

That everyone is hooked on drugs or was abused as a child.

What is your favourite position?

Doggie was the most common, but I found reverse cowgirl the most intense position usually. The guys being larger and thrusting just hit me in the right spots. Mmm lol.

What were your thoughts and opinions on the industry going in and how did that differ afterwards?

If at all, it depends on what parts of the industry. Overall I think I have a little higher opinion, but there are bad eggs in every business and I experienced both the good and bad during my time.

What were some of the bad aspects you experienced?

I had one bad experience where I was drugged without my knowledge before a scene, so that wasn’t good. That was the most extreme. I didn’t always like the guys I was paired with and the filming process wasn’t great at times.

Have you ever contracted and STI?

No. Everyone was extensively tested. I didn’t know of anyone who tested positive, but I know it can happen. It’s just rare because of testing.

Have you Google’d yourself? If so, what were some of the more interesting comments you read on your videos?

I have Google’d myself. It’s surreal reading comments about me in such a sexual way, but I’ve sort of gotten used to it now. I used to look all the time, but not so much recently. Someone a few years ago posted some unflattering lies about me, so that would be the most disappointing things said. I enjoy seeing the positive comments that talk about my performance or how I handled myself in the scene.

Assuming you continue to watch porn. Who in the business do you see as a good performer today?

I don’t really have one actress I watch or anything. I really like Krystal Boyd as a Russian performer. She does her scenes mostly with her boyfriend. They are authentic to me and she’s beautiful. I think one American actress I respect is Sasha Grey mostly because of her commitment to the industry and business approach. She got in and made a lot of money and then did things outside of porn. I never wanted to do that, but I can appreciate and respect what she’s done in her career.

What advice would you give to a younger women who is interested in getting into porn?

Don’t do it if you are only doing it for the money. Be willing to say no and walk away if it doesn’t feel right. Assume everyone you know and business acquaintances will find out or see your scenes.

Do you have any regrets?

I don’t regret doing it. I would do some things differently, but I don’t consider those regrets. I think if I hadn’t tried, I would have regretted not taking the leap.

Finally, any final thoughts?

Overall I am glad I had the experience of porn. It’s not for everyone, but I think often of those experiences. I learned a lot about the business while doing it and I know I annoyed the producers by asking a lot of questions. Wanting to know what makes people watch a scene and the type of customer porn has. What they want to see. I enjoy the entire sex industry even though I’m not a part of porn anymore.
