Hey! I am Lexi Bloom the retired porn star. AMA.
I have a couple hours so entertain me with your questions :)
Edit OMG you guys are amazing. Lol For everyone asking, yes, I am selling custom videos and fan signs to pay for school. Tweet me @TheLexitron for details or email at sexylexibloom at gmail
Edit Once again, you guys are amazing. I have now been staring at my computer for 10 hours instead of the intended hour or two. My eyes have filed for divorce and my ass is so numb that I'm not even sure it is there. I guess it is time to say good night. Message me, email me, tweet me. I'll respond. Xoxo
lexitronb334 karma
Lol!! Not gunna happen. :) But I still do customs videos and Skype chats to pay for school. Just no cocks or pussies.
Death_proofer360 karma
When did you lose your virginity?
There is a misconception that girls in porn are "broken". Is this actually true?
Are a few of the veterans "stuck" in the job?
PS, I've lost a lot of DNA to you.
lexitronb471 karma
I lost my virginity at 15 to a guy that I dated for 2 years.
Nope, that is actually true. Most of the people - girls especially - in the industry are a mess.
No one is ever actually stuck. We all have a choice to move on if we want to. I'm sure there are some people in the industry still because it is the easy path to stay in.
Haha I'm glad to hear that. I still web cam and make custom videos if you would like to lose some more. ;)
MUSTY_BALLSACK447 karma
Hi, I don't have a question. Just wanted to say that I'd Lexi your Bloom, if you know what I mean
DrSeuss-ish837 karma
A Who fucked for money
But then she retired,
- Which is like being so old
You choose to be fired.
She sucked on some wazzles
And swallowed some gloop
She once put a Who
In the hole where she pooped!
But don't for a moment
Not even a tock
Think that this means
That this Who doesn't rock.
So I say with a song
And a sing with a tune:
Oh sexy porn exy
I'd Lexi your Bloom.
swefpelego79 karma
What do you mean by mess? Drug problems? Relationship problems? Broken spirit? Seems like porn stars would have a lot of similar problems to non porn stars.
lexitronb196 karma
Drug problems, history of sexual abuse, intimacy issues, lack of value for themselves.
Yeah, they are issues that non-industry people have but for some reason the industry really attracts them.
lexitronb153 karma
The closest on I come to is "sexual abuse" being as I was taught that sex is a sin.
PatternWolf21 karma
I feel like that the second point is contrary to what others have said. Didn't some of the other pornstars on here say that it was a stereo type?
lexitronb119 karma
Most porn stars are on drugs or have had a drug problem. Most porn stars have some kind of sexual trauma in their history. Most porn stars make most of their money escorting. Anyone that tells you otherwise is in denial or hiding something.
lexitronb55 karma
Lol I couldn't watch that. The only stupid movie I can pay attention to long enough to watch is Kung Pow.
lexitronb26 karma
Ok fine. Evil Alien Conquerors. Not as if anyone will know what that is. Lol.
All7hatRemains314 karma
Would you rather suck 1 horse sized dick, or 1000 duck sized dicks?
lexitronb282 karma
I have no idea how big a horse sized dick is but I am assuming that I wouldn't be able to get it in my mouth. I would rather die then suck 1000 duck sized dicks.
miller_timmy286 karma
JUST SO YOU KNOW: she is still web camming and making custom videos for fans to pay for school.
UPVOTE FOR VISIBILITY.... AND TITTIES
lexitronb370 karma
Some of my solos were real but most, especially the BG ones, were fake.
KumarChhabra187 karma
How's your sex life since your experience? It would put pressure on me to have sex with a pornstar (former) I would be way to worried on making her feel good. Are you still able to enjoy sex with some degree of intimacy?
lexitronb406 karma
I didn't have sex for 6 months after because I really didn't want to. It took an awesome guy 2 months of convincing me to fall for him for me to finally get naked again. Now sex is the best sex I have ever had.
That's funny that you say that. I was actually scared of having sex with my guy before the first time because I didn't want to be too porno.
wildeep_MacSound244 karma
. . . As a male on the internet, I'd have to say there is no such thing as too porno.
KumarChhabra181 karma
That's kinda sweet :) is also like to know, was porn sex ever good? Did you genuinely enjoy getting pounded like a jackhammer for 30 straight minutes?
lexitronb294 karma
Not really. There were a couple scenes with my ex that I enjoyed but we were in a relationship so we had an emotional connection.
And no, I did not enjoy that. It was uncomfortable and ended in me being sore.
funkadilious184 karma
What are your views on the socio-economic problems facing some European nation states in regards to their continued membership in the union?
lexitronb236 karma
I have no views because I know nothing about the subject. Feel free to email me some links though and I'll try to make time read about it.
kent_eh105 karma
Upvote for honest answer.
If only the talking heads and politicians on the news would actually say this once in a while.
lexitronb130 karma
Lol a ton of things.. Anal scenes, gang bangs, BBG, DP, IR, pee scenes, scat scenes..... Incest role play scenes....
skraptastic141 karma
How do you feel about kids having such easy access to porn? I worry that my teen son will have a skewed view of sex due to this ease of access. We have lots of talks though. Usually ending with him saying "Are we done yet?"
Also adding the required "Back in my day to get porn I had to hope some bum would leave a dirty magazine in the gutter, none of this internet nonsense!"
lexitronb213 karma
I don't like that kids have easy access to porn. It is a parents responsibility to shelter them till they are the right age. If you are having open, honest talks with your son then he will be fine. With teenagers, it seems like everything is in one ear and out the other but they are still subconsciously paying attention to your attitude and mimicking it on some level.
init6279 karma
I'm almost 30, but internet porn was still easy to get (pictures anyway) when I was a teen. Each time my dad found my electronic "stash," I just got better at hiding it. Probably how I got into IT security.
lexitronb96 karma
LOL! True. It'll be funny to see how the next generation tries to get away with things.
timesync140 karma
Is there a good living to be made in porn these days, and how is your health if you don't mind me asking? Thank you.
lexitronb329 karma
Not really. Companies are barely shooting so unless you are a big name you barely get any shoots.
My health is great. I managed to escape the industry STD free. :)
aolostmaiden131 karma
I realized the other day, after approximately 20 years of porn watching mind you, that it's really the pleasure of the woman in a guy-girl scene that turns me on the most. The scenes that I love are ones where the woman can convince me that she's really enjoying it. Aside from a lot of the new amateur stuff, such scenes are few and far between. Actually this fact makes me think that either most porn-starlettes are shitty actresses, or most of them really don't enjoy it, but I digress.
I'm wondering how often (like percentage-wise) you would say that you personally were showing genuine enjoyment in a scene? Also, if you could extend your answer to include any other girls that you knew/know well and what their percentages might be.
And grats on the psychology major, I'm sure you'll do great (that is not sarcastic btw).
lexitronb195 karma
Hahaha most porn-starlettes ARE shitty actresses! Lol. Ever wonder why they didn't go mainstream?
I didn't really enjoy my scenes. I'm not naturally a slut. Sex is so much better with the same person over and over. I'm a love fucker ;)
I don't really know about other girls. I never really got close to any girls that performed.
Thanks :) That is very sweet of you!
lexitronb202 karma
My best memories of the industry were being on set for SexArt.com when I was working back end managing the models and doing wardrobe. The MetArt/SexArt team are AMAZING. I adore each and every one of them.
Blindfirekiller185 karma
How does wardrobe work?
"I think you should wear nothing" repeat infinitely.
lexitronb216 karma
Haha no way. Have you watched my porn? "Do you have pink knee-high socks? Any pink tshirts? No, that shirt makes you look 20. We need you to look 18." Lol
lexitronb106 karma
Haha entertaining as hell but kinda ruined my hope for humanity all at the same time. I'm just glad the general population isn't like the people I have met.
lol_u_so_kawaii111 karma
Would it be too much trouble to write my name on your boobs? I could return with the same treatment. I have an aggressively average non-muscular chest, a must see. Thanks!
tdub27107 karma
What are the bad things that you have experienced being a female porn star?
lexitronb235 karma
Mostly just the way girls are treated. Most of the girls in the industry come in with major issues. They treat themselves like they are worthless and allow people to manipulate and use them.
lexitronb147 karma
I was sitting in a car with my agent at the time and a couple other models. My agent told me that I needed to pick a name and I didn't know what to pick so they named me.
roaddogg2k2165 karma
When I close my eyes, I see this thing, a sign, I see this name in bright blue neon lights with a purple outline. And this name is so bright and so sharp that the sign - it just blows up because the name is so powerful... It says, "Dirk Diggler."
"Hrmm, well I like it, but it's just not you...How about Lexi Bloom? Yeah, lets go with Lexi Bloom"
Lenthiuste86 karma
I am unfamiliar with a lot of the technical aspects of the pornography business. What happens immediately before and after a shoot? How long did one of your average shoots take? Were there breaks in between shots/positions? Were there certain things you were uncomfortable with and how did you handle them? Did you have a "fluffer" that came with you to different shoots or was there a different one each time? How was your relationship with them? I appreciate your time doing an AMA, thanks!
lexitronb121 karma
You get to set, go through hair and makeup, do pretty girl stills, do hardcore stills, shoot the video, fill out paperwork, get your check, then go home.
The length of the shoot depends on the company. Usually you are not on set less then 3 hours and no more then 8 hours.
Breaks all depend on the production company and the talent. Sometimes they need to reset cameras, lights, or the talent needs water or to pee.
I'm not sure what you mean by uncomfortable. I had guys that were on my no list and had restrictions on what I would shoot. I never did more then one guy. I didn't do anal..
Fluffers are completely illegal and not real in porn now. I don't know about in the past but now the only "fluffers" are ones that are performers on camera faking it.
Thanks for the questions. :)
rocket_jocky232 karma
I didn't do anal..
what do you call this? http://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=1009230335
lexitronb137 karma
Lol. By didn't do anal I mean I did one scene when I first started then from there on out I was not available for anal scenes.
sicknightmyer16 karma
That scene looks really uncomfortable, and who was your "friend" next to you?
Lenthiuste46 karma
Thanks for the answer! I have one more, probably stupid, question that relates to a previous question. Some of the pornography I have watched involves either the director or the male actor being excessively physically aggressive and horribly demeaning to the woman actress. I know she must have given consent and that there is a market for that kind of pornography, but it seems like the line could have been easily crossed and it would be difficult for the actress to prevent actual abuse. I have not watched any of your films so I do not know if you were ever in this situation, but what would you do if the actor/director did something on film that you did not consent to?
lexitronb75 karma
I was alway very, very clear about my boundaries which a lot of people were not used to. I was never in any situations like that. The industry girls tend to be spineless and not care how they are treated.
lexitronb514 karma
There was a girl sitting on set waiting for us to adjust lights in the middle of a solo scene. She had a weird look on her face so we asked her if she was ok and she said "Yeah, I just remembered that I used to let my dog lick my pussy when I was a kid."
lexitronb53 karma
Kinda. It was more of a "ooook.. Let's get this over with" type of thing. Lol
kissmecozimhot79 karma
Does your bf watch porn? if yes, what kind? how do you feel about it?
lexitronb207 karma
He doesn't. Lol I guess I have ruined it for him. Plus, he doesn't really get a chance to anyways. I tend to jump him as soon as he gets home and send him naughty pictures whenever he is work.
TheCountryRedditaria79 karma
Gotta ask... If you don't want to answer I understand
Does everyone in porn have herpes? Because if I have heard right the STD test y'all receive (like the ones I get) aren't full panel tests therefore they don't test for herpes...
I just find it nearly impossible not to get it if 1/5 of adults have it and you've had unprotected sex with hundreds of people... Just curious like I said its cool if you don't want to answer
lexitronb119 karma
Not everyone but I'm sure a ton of them do. The tests only test for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis.
From what I understand, the chances of getting it when the other person doesn't have an outbreak are very low. I managed to get out of the industry without getting it. Thank god. Others haven't been so lucky.
TheCountryRedditaria24 karma
Yea I've heard that too but most people with herpes don't know it or show symptoms...
Have you had a full panel test? Because I'm scared to get one. No problems but the odds aren't in my favor haha
lexitronb55 karma
I have had a full panel test... I had 2 or 3 while I was in the industry then one when I was out. I was scared too but it came back clean.
You should go get tested. The odds are never in our favor. If you are sexually active at all there is something like a 60% chance that you have HPV. And that's just one STD. It's better to find out if you have something so that you can start taking care of it and heal.
fantatastic68 karma
The most disappointing trend in porn are the porn movie names. They've gone from clever, witty names like Flesh Gordon, Riding Miss Daisey, Shaving Ryan's Privates, Indiana Bones and the temple of Poon and the like to boring names like Star Wars: An XXX Parody.
Any insight to why they've adopted dull movie titles?
jonny_nutsack60 karma
Civilian here. What can i do that will really impress a chick. (sex-wise)
lexitronb101 karma
Haha I have no idea. I guess be agressive. There is nothing sexier then a strong, confident man.
jonny_nutsack228 karma
LEXI! LET ME MAKE OUT WITH YOU! no? it was worth a shot.
EDIT: FUCK YEA. highest rated comment is being a creeper to an ex-porn chick. Lexi, this song goes out to you:
its_a_thing_now51 karma
Are you worried that it may affect your career after college if employers, clients, etc. find out what you used to do for a living?
lexitronb108 karma
Not really. And if my history does affect a job that I have in the future then it is a sign that it is not the right fit for me.
Nomsfud47 karma
How much did you get paid per movie? Did you ever feel a specific connection to your co-stars, or was it "all in a day's work"?
lexitronb54 karma
It all depended. Most girls get between $1200 and $800 for a BG scene. Out of that they have to pay their agents 10-15%, pay their drivers, pay for housing, and pay for their tests.
I never really had any connections with my co-stars. I did work with my ex a few times and obviously there was a connection there but all the other scenes were just work.
Apotheosis9123 karma
But.. but the guy the in the video said 1000 to 5000 dollars a day...
lexitronb11 karma
Guy in what video? The only people that make $5000 a day are the big name contract girls.
jake517345 karma
What was the conversation like when you told your parents what your job was?
lexitronb105 karma
I didn't actually tell them. My real name was posted online and my dad saw it. He was not happy and we did not talk for a long time after that.
I told my mom because I didn't want her to find out from anyone else. She said that she already knew and though she was worried about my health, I am an adult and have the right to make my own decisions.
The_mighty_viceroy42 karma
Evner got any stds or injuries at work? Does your work effect your personal love-life?
lexitronb64 karma
I got chlamydia twice and BV a few times. I'm glad that I never got anything that couldn't be taken care of with antibiotics.
I no longer perform so it doesn't. My guy don't care about my making custom videos and web camming. He's very secure about that.
JimmyTadeski40 karma
is kung pow still one of your favorite movies and can you still quote the living crap out of it.
JimmyTadeski19 karma
killing is wrong. killing is bad. killing is both bad and wrong. killing is badwrong or badong. yes killing is badong.
lexitronb72 karma
Pretty much every time I took off my shirt on set and someone said something about my nipples, I would respond with "My nipples are like milk duds". Not one person ever got it.
RtardDAN7 karma
Thank you lexi, you've just given me something to watch as i cant sleep :)
NeoMegaRyuMKII38 karma
How did you get into porn?
Favorite of your own videos? Least favorite?
Thoughts on the changes in the porn industry?
What do you do now?
lexitronb65 karma
I was doing artistic nudes back home in Portland and kinda feel into it. I didn't know exactly what I was getting into.
Honestly, I have never watched my own videos. I find it creepy hearing my voice and watching myself have sex. Lol. I do, however, love the stills taken of me by Holly Randall, InTheCrack, SexArt/MetArt, and Digital Desire.
Changes like the condom law? I think the condom law is stupid. If they are going to try to enforce that then they should do the same for people at home. What happened to freedom of choice?
I am web camming and making customs for fans to make enough to go to school this term. I will probably continue to do that for quite a while. I really enjoy it.
lexitronb22 karma
Nope, I paid off debts then only had enough for necessities. LA is rediculously expensive.
lexitronb46 karma
Haha nope. I am out for the rest of eternity. I am still web camming and making custom videos for fans though to pay for school.
Oh_ya_scared_me27 karma
I know of these customs. I had you make me one a few months ago, it serves me well!
lexitronb34 karma
Yay!! Well if you ever want another one, let me know! I'm working on making enough money for this term of school!
lexitronb67 karma
I retired because I was over it. I'm not naturally a slut. The industry was just a short term experimental type thing. I am a one guy type of girl. That being said, I'm a flirt so I love web camming and making customs for fans.
I dated someone in the industry while I was in. Didn't work out. He didn't care about me performing though.
Fishtails34 karma
Who is the bitchiest female talent you encountered in the industry? Conversely, who was the most pleasant?
lexitronb62 karma
This girl that I called "RC" for "Royal Cunt".... I don't remember her actual stage name and she wasn't around for very long. Most of the girls are actually really chill on set even if they are insane in their personal lives.
whiplash6433 karma
How have things changed in the time you were in the business? Do you feel they're for the better or worse? what did you like most?
lexitronb68 karma
Well when I first started I was making $1200+ for BGs and now some girls are getting like $600 for them. Because of torrent sites and tube site, the industry doesn't have much income. That is, of course, for the worse. If the girls don't make much then fewer amazing ones will come into the industry and companies will start producing less. Fans are the ones that suffer.
lexitronb73 karma
Drugs and alcohol are everywhere in the industry. Yes, performers turn up drunk or high all the time. I have never been around mainstream but I have friends who have been... They all say it's an entertainment business thing. Not just a porn thing.
lexitronb55 karma
Not really regrets. If I could go back 3 years and keep everything that I have learned then I would never get in it but it was worth the growing up that I did.
lexitronb41 karma
In some of my solos I did. My orgasms during BG scenes were faked. I never really had orgasms from intercourse till now.
Viper-S1517 karma
Did you have different favourite positions in porn and in your own time?
If you could have one super power what would it be?
lexitronb41 karma
The positions in porn are usually done because the director wants to see them plus they are usually placed so the camera can see what's going on. Off camera sex is completely different and so are the positions.
If I could have a super power it would be all knowledge.
lexitronb81 karma
I don't remember. There were a bunch of big cocks. And no, I'm a really little girl. I was mostly uncomfortable during scenes and sore after them.
lexitronb262 karma
Lol Girls that like massive cocks probably have nasty stretched out pussies that you wouldn't want to fuck anyways.
lexitronb5 karma
They can lose elasticity in the vaginal wall. It's like any other skin. If you repeatedly abuse it then it ages.
TheCountryRedditaria13 karma
How did you choose your porn name? How has the industry increased or decreased your sex drive? What's the goofiest experience you've had on a set?
Thanks for the AMA! And I have a friend who does webcam shows and apparently she does pretty well so with your name I'm sure you'll do great. Cheers
lexitronb17 karma
I was sitting in a car with my agent at the time and a couple other models. My agent told me that I needed to pick a name and I didn't know what to pick so they named me.
After I retired, I took 6 months off of sex. The industry totally wore me out and I wanted nothing to do with it. Luckily, I found a guy that I couldn't resist. Real sex is so much better then porn sex.
Omg. Goofy like funny? I can't really think of one. Most of the time when I was on set, everyone just worked as fast as they could to get done.
Thanks :)
lexitronb19 karma
Lol. Most of the time I was either paying attention to staying open for the camera or wondering how much more they needed to film.
Crisspie133 karma
So personnel favorite thing in bed that a man does? and since its valentines day tomorrow best thing a man can do for you out of bed.
lexitronb3 karma
I love being kissed passionately. Sometimes I'm like "Yeah, I totally am not having sex tonight.." then my guy comes up and starts kissing me.. In like 3 seconds I'm ready.
shhhoe3 karma
well that's upsetting to hear, you're my favorite of the last few years, one of those few girls that I can watch every scene multiple times, thanks for the great times, and doing at least one 3D scene.
What are you going to school for, do any of your professors or classmates recognize you?
lexitronb4 karma
Aww :) That is so sweet of you! I am still camming and making custom videos to make money for school so you can still get my content. I think I did two 3D scenes.
I am a Psychology major. And no, no one really recognizes me that I know of.
Sulla06c3 karma
Why is the porn industry is so full of degrading genres? My favorites are always the met art type of videos that just shows sexy naked girls doing their thing. Instead of facials and cum swapping and all that nonsense.
Kensin2 karma
Having seen it first hand, would you recommend getting into the porn industry to others? I can understand not wanting to do it for very long, but it seems like a good gig while you're young and starting out.
lexitronb4 karma
Nope. I definitely would not. It is not lucrative and most people get on drugs.
xnerdyxrealistx1 karma
First of all you're one of my favorites and I thank you for your work over the years. Three questions:
- What are your career and life plans for the future now?
- Did it feel weird to be perpetually 18?
- Were you actually doing porn when you were honestly 18?
lexitronb4 karma
Thanks :)
- I am raising money for this term of school. :) I'm a Psych major. I'm planning on moving home to Portland in the coming months.
- Yes, it did. Especially when the industry treats 23 year olds like they are cougars. I'm a cougar! LOL!
- Nope, I started porn at 20.
repomanfluffy1 karma
Which are your favorite three scifi shows? And what does PDXer mean???
lexitronb6 karma
Lol PDXer means I'm from Portland, Oregon.
Favorite SciFi shows? That better include movies. Star Wars, Fire Fly, and Star Trek.
Kensin1 karma
Is there one thing you'd tell someone thinking about going into porn? What is something you wish someone had told you when you first started?
lexitronb6 karma
Don't do it. Almost no one in it is worth building friendships with and most end up on drugs.
audiocontrol1 karma
I saw that you're studying Psychology or plan to. What school if you dont mind me asking, if it's too much to share I understand.
Why Psychology?
Are you concerned some of your classmates may recognize you and cause you to be shafted in some way?
lexitronb4 karma
I actually am not comfortable saying what school.
I have loved Psychology since I was younger. I think the first "Psychology" book I read was The Road Less Traveled when I was 18.
mississippiwildman1 karma
Got one you likely won't answer:
Did you ever do a porn scene and was like "this dick hurts?" and he just kept plowing you. Did it ever turn into semi rape?
lexitronb3 karma
I did a fake rape scene for some Japanese company. "Rape" scenes are a major liability for US companies to produce, host, and sell. No, I have never actually been raped or semi raped. That is fucked up.
