We caught up with porn star Izan Loren to find out what life is like for a porn star in today’s industry.
MP: So how did you get into porn?
IZ: At 12-years-old, porn was my dream. The first time I worked was in a scene, alone, for Blakemason. He was not afraid, but I was nervous. The result was wonderful and I left wanting to work more.
MP: Have you told your family?
IZ: My sister and some of my best friends knew before I started to act as a porn actor and have always supported me. After starting and shooting scenes, most of my friends have heard.There have been people who criticise and others who give me encouragement and support to continue. My parents were a bit trickier. I had to explain more deeply the concept of porn. They have come to accept it and now support me.
MP: Is it hard to find romantic partners as sex is such an intimate part of the human experience, how do you balance the act versus the deeper connection?
IZ: It’s hard to find a guy who understands my work, and not engaged in the world of porn. A guy who works at a hotel, a bank, or in a supermarket, will possibly find it harder to understand my work. We must differentiate sex from love. Whoever wants to be with me, will have to respect my work because it is part of me. When I record a scene, I’m acting.
MP: Have you ever dated another porn star?
IZ: Now being tucked in the porn world, it is normal to meet more actors and is more likely to have a boyfriend who is an actor. And no, I have no boyfriend now.
MP: Are there things you’ve learnt doing porn that you’ve included in your personal life?
IZ: There are things that I have done for the first time shooting a scene, and others and put into practice in my personal life. Every day you learn something new, a new fetish…
MP: How do bottoms prepare themselves before a film?
IZ: I’m more active. I take care of normal care, work always gives us enemas to cleanse us inside and little more. I do not do things out of the ordinary.
MP: Do you receive bizarre messages from fans? What is the weirdest message/request you’ve received from a fan?
IZ: I think the weirdest message I received was from a boy from Spain, who paid me for only sucking his feet. Others have sex with others while watching.
MP: Do you sleep with your fans?
IZ: I have not slept with fans, or guys I’ve met that night. Many porn stars use their status to become “escorts” or have wish lists on Amazon. Right now I’m just porn actor. The escort being not part of my future plans.
MP: What would you say to people who want to get into porn?
IZ: I’d tell you if it’s your dream to fight for it. It is very easy to get into porn, and there are many ways to do it. If the person is worth it, you will be caught quickly.
MP: What’s the best/worst thing about doing porn?
IZ: Rolling with someone who smells bad (laughs).
MP: What do you think is the future of porn?
IZ: If I knew what would be the future of porn, I’d produce. Really porn has not seen many changes.
MP: What’s the average day of a porn star?
IZ: Go to the gym, hanging out with friends, shopping (I love buying clothes!), Partying, going to Spain to see my family and my friends.
MP: After all the sex and fame and thrill… what’s next?
IZ: I like living in the moment. Porn does not last a lifetime, so also saving for tomorrow to mount a business.
MP: Who has been your favourite scene partner and why? Is there anything that you
won’t do in porn?
IZ: There are two co-favourite scene because I really enjoyed them, they are great. Called Ashton Brad and Scott Williams for Boynapped. I would never fist. It’s something that I respect, but I do not like.
MP: What’s the average salary per scene/per film?
IZ: It depends on several factors. How big is the producer? And it depends on whether you have exclusivity with a producer. Each contract is different.
