Talking about the personal lives of pornstars isn’t that much of a taboo topic anymore. The times of seeing them as superhumans who have glamorous lives are over.
More and more porn stars come out with shocking details about their personal lives, which we don’t really see when we see them fuck on screen.
Last week I finished the Netflix-produced series based on the story of the legendary beast of a pornstar – Rocco Siffredi.
Even though I was aware that not all details of the series actually happened in his real life, quite a big chunk of it was true, and it was interesting but also shocking on so many levels.
Once it was over, I just sat staring at the screen and wanted to know so much more about him and so many other pornstars and wild live cam girls performing on sites like PDCams.com.
Why did they enter the adult industry? How did they become so famous? What was their out-of-character personality like? Was there anything controversial about them?
These are only a few of the questions I began asking myself, and I bet I wasn’t the only one. That’s why I sat down and made a list of 5 of the best books on porn written by pornstars.
Keep reading this article to find out what these books are, and I can guarantee you’ll find a few new good books to fill your reading time with.
Insatiable: Porn – A Love Story by Asa Akira
Asa Akira is currently one of the most famous pornstars and has taken part in nearly 700 adult movies. She is known for her more hardcore and extreme style of porn acting.
Her life is very intriguing due to her education at the UN International School, but she figured that stripping and working as a dominatrix at a sex dungeon would take her further in life. She wasn’t wrong.
In her bestselling book Insatiable, Akira discusses her unusual life in a mix of amusing, shocking, and touching ways.
She shares details about her life before the adult industry and how it changed when she started doing porn – from stories about her relationship with other pornstars to amusing anecdotes.
The book is an excellent read for those who want more insight into the depth of the porn industry and the way our lives and cultures are centered around the role of sex.
How to Make Love Like a Pornstar: A Cautionary Tale by Jenna Jameson
Even though Jenna Jameson isn’t as relevant in modern porn, she remains one of the most iconic pornstars that the adult industry has ever seen.
In her autobiographical book, she talks about all the steps she had to take to become a businesswoman in the adult industry – from her first-ever stripping experience to her first porn shoot.
As you can guess by the title, she also shares tips on how to perform better in sex, from instructions about strip-teasing to oral sex and other more in-depth advice.
However, while the book is partially fun and entertaining, it also has a darker side focused on the secrets of the adult industry and the ghosts of her dark past riddled with drugs.
Even though the book was published in 2004, which is now 20 years ago, the shocking details it provides about the secrets hidden by the adult industry are still relevant.
Full Disclosure by Stormy Daniels
Stormy Daniels is a pornstar who was greatly discussed in recent years as a result of the lawsuit she filed against Donald Trump over a nondisclosure agreement.
In her book, she tells juicy details about the whole ordeal. Also, she tells more about her life, coming from a poverty-riddled background in Louisiana to becoming a prominent pornstar.
Judging by the reviews of this book, readers seem to truly enjoy the stories she tells about working in the adult industry and all the obstacles she had to go through to get where she is.
Stormy is unapologetic and owns everything that she does. She uses a witty and amusing tone to entertain the readers with stories from her personal life.
Absolute Mayhem: Secret Confessions of a Pornstar by Monica Mayhem
Another prominent pornstar back from the golden age of porn, also known as the Noughties, is well-known by many – Monica Mayhem.
She began her career in the ’00s and officially retired in 2010 after taking part in over 400 adult movies which makes her a pretty good example of someone from this era of porn.
Mayhem has the stereotypical pornstar look – blonde hair, heavy pornstar make-up, and big fake boobs.
In her book, she talks proudly of her successes in the porn industry and reveals what she had to do to make it big in Hollywood. She shares juicy details about the hardcore adult movies she’s taken part in over the years, tells the readers about her favorite sex toys, and how she built her porn empire.
From Princess to Porn Star – A Real-Life Cinderella Story by Tasha Reign
The final book on the list is made by Tasha Reign – another well-known pornstar with a pretty big chunk of adult movies behind her back.
Similarly to previous books on this list, she discusses the reasons she decided to join the adult industry and how she wanted to make something more for herself than a boring 9-to-5 job.
Her life abruptly changed once her dad passed away, leaving her stranded and disowned by her evil stepmom. Despite this misfortune, she invested her heart and soul into her work.
The book is a really interesting read for anyone who still has unanswered questions about how the adult industry works and wants to dive deeper into its darker aspects.
From misogyny and racism to the empowering benefits it offers, Tasha embarks on the adventure of her life since entering the adult industry.
Want Something More?
After all this reading, you may have the urge to unwind a little bit and get some real-time action and a closer look into the adult industry.
An excellent way to do that is to take a look at some live sex cam shows and get to spend time with adult workers who are still at the stage of making it big.
On any leading adult cam site like PDCams.com, one can find everything from hung transsexuals and perverted MILFs to 18+ teen cams performed by cute-looking sluts with a naughty side.
It’s exciting to see a star in the making who’s pouring her soul and heart into her work. Who knows, maybe one day you will be reading a description of their book in this list.
