For many people across Arizona, it is becoming more apparent that injustices are running rampant within the state of Arizona. For many of us living here in Arizona, it has shaped our lives in one way or another. People from other states oftentimes are repulsed by the way the state of Arizona has a tendency to run things, especially when it comes to the criminal justice system here. As the state of Arizona has continued to grow, policies have begun to change and somewhere along the line the state took a seriously wrong turn.

Chances are if you have a pulse, you’re over the age of 18, with a cell phone, you’ve definitely watched porn before, and you probably watched it on Porn Hub. If you are the type of person who is not-ashamed-and-hiding-it, you probably can name off current day porn stars in scenes, like most can with their favorite mainstream actors and actresses in a TV sitcom. With that said I am going to take a wild guess and say you most likely have wondered what it might be like to date your favorite porn star. You might be surprised, to learn just how many people do. That’s why I’m here, to talk with you about what it is like to actually date one of us, a real-life porn star. Yes, me, yes I was in fact a very busy, pretty sought after porn star at one time in my life. In fact I won the first ever “Dirtiest Girl In Porn Award” at the first ever F.A.M.E Awards at one of the first Exotica Conventions in 2006. Boy, was I ever so proud of that award.

Despite the fact that Arizona is one of the youngest states to join the United States of America, you might expect it to be a pretty progressive forward thinking place. Seeing how Arizona established itself later than majority of other states, it would only make sense that we would have taken the time to learn from the mistakes of older states, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth. Arizona may look fancy and have beautiful new homes, new construction happening often, beautiful nice communities, new shopping centers, new freeways and roads etc. In reality it’s only aesthetic.

When something goes wrong in your life, it is incredibly easy to blame other people for any role that they might have played in it. It can be frustrating and upsetting when things go badly or don’t work out the way that you wanted them to. By no means should that ever mean that you need to start pointing fingers and looking for someone to blame for the wrongs in your life.

Something about sex work has a tendency to bring out a bunch of fake advocates who want to save people who absolutely do not need to be saved. I am not a victim because I worked or work in the porn industry. I am an adult woman now and was one when I made the decision to enter the porn industry. I have always been proud of my work in the porn industry. Despite the fact that people continuously criticize me, try to shame me, and try to categorize me as someone of a lessor class for it.

Many people suffer from insecurities when they are in their developmental adolescence, years of life which are from 12 years old to 18 years old. But nobody talks about the fact that as a teenager, your need to start developing your own personal identity and sense of who you truly are. Unsuccessful development of your sense of self and identity leads to role confusion and possibly a weak self-esteem, which leads to insecurities that can move forward with you and leave you stuck with the same problems being presented in a completely different way. The ability to stay true to yourself and have a strong self-esteem is a major part of your adolescence.
