Beauty is sometimes an optional in an adult entertainer. This is not the case of Raven Alexis, one of the most beautiful and sexy girls in the world of adult movies. 23 years old, Raven Alexis has quickly become one of the most recognizable faces (and bodies) in the business. And she is not just beautiful. In this interview we will talk about her career, about her private life, and about… guys. Of course. Read on. Alessio
How old are you? I am 23 years old.
How did you start in the adult entertainment industry? I started by doing nude photography - which is about the furthest thing from what I ever imagined myself doing. After the experience of posing nude, and seeing the photos, I was left feeling so sexually empowered. I knew that I had to do this as a career, and very quickly transitioned into being a business owner, website producer, and adult actress.
Who is your favorite adult entertainer of all times? There are so many incredible performers - it is impossible to pick just one. I look up to performers such as Jesse Jane, Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Sasha Grey, Tori Black, Manuel Ferrara, the list goes on and on.

Your official site states: 'reality porn star'. What does it mean? I wanted to give people a chance to go behind the movies and the appearances - to the life that I actually live. People look at musicians, actresses, and public figures, to entertain them, and what better way than to let people get a real look at me and what I am about. My fans really enjoy that, and until I hear otherwise, I'm going to continue in that tradition. :)
You are young, but you have had a long career already. How many movies have you performed in, so far? And how many award have you won, so far? I don't keep count, honestly, of how many movies. I've been very fortunate to be in many freelance ventures before I signed with Digital Playground, both video and photography modeling, and since being signed with Digital Playground, I've had 5 movies released. I'm also incredibly proud of my website, www.ravenalexis.com. I was honored to be nominated for Best New Web Starlet last year at the AVN awards as well.
How important is sex in your private life? Sex is a very important part of my life - I am a very sexually positive, open person, and I enjoy experimenting.
Does working in the sex industry make sex less appealing in real life? No, it actually makes the experience much more open and fun. I allow myself to think outside the box and take a completely open, non taboo approach to sex, which makes it so amazing.

You perform with guys and girls on stage. Are you bi-sexual also in your private life? Yes I am. I love men and women, and I think the interactions between them are so much different depending on whether it's two women, or a man and a woman.
What do you prefer, in your private life, and why? It depends on the mood I'm in. I love being a voyeur most of all - watching other people engage in sexual acts. It drives me crazy!!!
Where are you based? In Las Vegas, NV. I enjoy traveling a lot, and I'm never in one place for too long.
Can you describe a typical day in the life of Raven Alexis? My life is varied, which is something that people really get a good look at on my site. They see all the sides of me. A lot of days it's just as simple as cooking great meals, answering emails, and spending time in the pool with friends and family. Lots of traveling, outdoor activities, getting back to the basics, enjoying the Earth, and just living life to the fullest.
What do you look at, in a guy, when you first meet him? In a man or a woman, I always consider their personality first. Their laugh, their sense of humor, the way they conduct themselves. Shortly after that, it's their eyes and their smile. The eyes tell so much about a person, and someone has to be able to smile. Laughter is the best medicine.

What do you do to keep in shape? Diet, fitness… nothing? I am very into health and fitness. I work out 4 to 5 days a week - doing different things.
Dance, martial arts, cardio, elliptical, yoga, pilates, outdoor pursuits. I love feeling healthy and in charge of my body.
If you look back at these last few years in the adult entertainment industry, is there a very embarrassing moment, you do not usually like to think about? (and that are you willing to share it with us…)? Being in the adult entertainment industry has its share of very funny moments.
I can't think of any embarrassing moments off the top of my head - I've been lucky to work with some of the best companies and people in the industry - I have very fond memories of my work. :)
