Talking to Sex Wrecks, the married porn star with two young children reveals why she’s a meat eater again, how her husband is dealing with it, and how the good girl from Scottsdale, Arizona, became the sexual animal she is today. Check her out at AshtonMoore.com.

Why after a six-year absence are you doing men in your films again?
Fans are wonderful people. I’ve had some wonderful, loyal fans that have stuck with me. I know it’s hard to be a fan of a girl who only does girls. Yeah, it’s great to watch some girl-on-girl, but eventually they really want to see the girl get fucked.
I’m at a point in my career where I think it’s time to step it up a notch before I get too old and can’t do this anymore. I’m ready to perform again and do some really good stuff. I’m very excited about signing on with ClubJenna.com. This is the best move of my career. I’m ready to get out there and really do something, and boy-girl is something that I really need to do.
What made you give up the guys in the first place?
I really didn’t want to do it in the first place. [When] I originally came into the business and decided to do movies I wanted to do all-girl. I wasn’t comfortable doing boy-girl. I tried to get a contract doing girl-girl only. But when I went to look for a contract, being brand new in the business, it’s almost impossible to be a contract girl and do girl-girl only without a name.
Is it a personal choice?
Yeah, kind of. I don’t know, everything happened so fast. Seven months later, seven movies later and I woke up saying, “What am I doing? Is this really something I want to be doing? How did I get here?” My name was getting big. I thought, “Whoa, I better slow down and take a step back and think about what I’m doing and if I want to do this.”
Do you have a jealous boyfriend or are you a lesbian?
I’ve been married ten years. I was married before I got into the business. I didn’t grow up saying I wanted to be a porn star. Everything happened so fast.
How does a straight-A student from Arizona become a porn star?
I grew up a real good kid, got really good grades and did well in school, had friends. My family loves me tremendously; my parents are divorced but I have a huge family. I just had the best upbringing. My mother was really strict and my family was really strict, a real strong family unit.
What do they think about what you do for a living?
Oh, well, we’ll get there. When I was seventeen I lived with my mom and my sister. When I hit high school I started to rebel a little. My mom and I started to butt heads. I went through the whole teenager phase, is all it was, but my mom and I, who had always been close, she couldn’t handled it. We became the worst of enemies. I moved out at the age of seventeen.
My mom said, “You’re a little smart-ass. You think you can live on your own, go ahead.” And I was, “OK, I’ll show you.” I moved out in my senior year in high school. I wanted to finish school. I wasn’t going to drop out after, God, eighteen years of school. I got a job waitressing at a strip club Friday and Saturday nights, so I could go to school, finish high school all week, still be able to pay my bills and have my place and be able to work and have cash tips. It was great.
After about a week of that girls and costumers were telling me I could make so much more money, that I got to dance. Two weeks later I was on stage dancing and making money. Couldn’t believe I was doing it, but I was doing it. It all started with stripping [laughs].
Until then, I had never been interested in girls, had never been comfortable with my body, just really embarrassed by the whole thing. The longer I danced the more I became comfortable around girls, the whole bisexuality-type thing. It opened me up.
Did that lead to movies, which is a much bigger commitment?
It is. I danced for two years, off and on. I met my husband. I fell in love. I quit dancing for a while because I didn’t want to do that when I was in love with him. We got married and had had our first child. Then I got a boob job and decided, “Well, I need to go back and dance some more and pay for the boobs. And now that I have them I may as well show them off.”
I had just gotten a boob job, so my husband took some cute topless pictures of me to Hot Body International, basically a contest on pay-per-view cable. My husband said, “You should do that.” And I’m like, “No, not me. I don’t have the looks like those girls.” He sent pictures in and within days the guy who runs it called and said, “We want you to come out here.”
I flew out to L.A., entered the contest, and placed within the top three. Of course, most of the girls out there were doing stuff for magazines. They all had agents with them. Me, not having an agent, they were swarming me. I was real, not naïve, but I didn’t know anything about anything out there. I didn’t want to be taken and I heard sad things about agents.
One girl told me her agent was really good, he’s reliable, you can trust him. I talked to my husband about it and said, “I want you to go out there with me so I know I’m safe.” He thinks I can do magazines and I was just blown. I never pictured myself being good enough to do magazines. My husband’s gotten Playboy since he was eighteen and I steal the Playboys out of the mail and read them before he does, but I never thought that that would be me.
I went out to L.A., my agent took me to photographers, and I did test shots. And on the last day I met Suze Randall, who’s one of the biggest magazine photographers out there. She fell in love with me and said, “Don’t shoot for anybody else. I want you.” She brought me out about two weeks later and just started shooting me nonstop for every magazine.
I see the progression of your career, but what made you take the leap into film?
I did that for a couple of months, and of course when you’re shooting magazines you meet girls. I met Lexus, Vivid girls. I was meeting all these girls who were in the movie business and I was thinking, “Wow, they’re beautiful.” Here I was doing magazine layouts with girls and it was tinkering with my mind.
Then one night at dinner with my agent he was on the phone and really upset with some girl who hadn’t shown up for something and he was yelling at her. He said, “You signed this contract. They’re paying you $80,000 this year.” I think my mouth dropped. I want to do what she’s doing! He told me that she was doing movies and I can’t do that. I’m married. I could do stuff with girls. He said, “You could get a contract and do stuff only with girls on film. Janine does it.”
I talked to my husband. He’s like, “If you want to do girl-girl, I can handle girl-girl. Do you think you can handle it?” I think I can handle it. I went back to L.A. with my agent and hit up all the companies, Vivid, Metro, Wicked, everybody. The whole girl-girl thing was not flying.
Back then I wasn’t very smart. I didn’t realize if they really want me just hold out and they’ll take you. I finally talked to Ultimate Pictures, but the girl-girl thing still wasn’t flying. By now this was the tenth time I heard it. I was real disappointed. But they said I could work with my husband. OK, my husband’s a good-looking guy, well-endowed. That’d be sweet.
We talked about that and said we could do this for a couple of years and be really smart. It’d be great. We’re strong people. We can do this.
Well, the first month came around. I did a girl-girl. When it came time to do the boy-girl scene they had me working with someone who’s not my husband. It was a performance thing, they didn’t know if he could perform. It was just a line of bullshit. All of a sudden I was doing boy-girl and it wasn’t my guy.
How’d your husband take it?
It was hard. I did the scene. We did the whole, it’s just sex, there are no feelings involved. It’s not cheating. It’s a job. We got through it.
Is he comfortable with it now? I guess he must be.
Oh, yeah! I did get to do one scene with him for Ultimate four months into it. We finally got to do a scene together and they set it up to fail. It was for Search for the Snow Leopard, the biggest budgeted film ever. They had our call time at like seven o’clock in the morning. We finally started to shoot the scene at four o’clock the next morning. It was sixteen degrees outside, which is where we were shooting. It was the worst scenario possible ever. Of course we had trouble. We shot the scene, but it definitely wasn’t a good scene.
Guys have a whole concept of what they see on a film. The reality of him sitting on set was not how he saw it in his head. With my name getting bigger and bigger, everyone saying, “She’s the next big porn star,” I freaked out. It hit both of us at the same time, so I decided to step back for awhile. I had my second child, went back to college, got my degree in interior design, and got ready to start my career, but every time I click on my computer there’s me. My stuff was everywhere. All these people are making money off of me except for me! If this stuff is going to be out there I’m going to be the one to capitalize on it.
So I started a website, made a little money on the side, but still wasn’t planning to come back into the business. But I’m the kind of person who doesn’t do things half-assed. For the last three years I’ve been back in the business, I’ve been doing girl-girl. It’s been great for me. My website is kicking ass. I’m feature dancing. I love it, but I feel like my career is just missing that final punch. And that final punch is to come in and do some awesome boy-girl stuff that I know I can do.
