Porn Valley- Friday morning I spoke to Veronika Raquel, www.veronikaraquel.com who’s from Miami by way of Pennsauken, NJ. As soon as I hear Miami, I ask Raquel if she’s ever worked for those guys who shoot water buffalo. Raquel says she has but only in the capacity to fish naked. Raquel, the total tanned vision of the outdoor girl, says she loves to fish.

Raquel, who’s with AMA Talent, www.amatalent.com and just did her first anal scene last Thursday, thinks she’s also going to like taking it in the ass. Raquel has been in the business three years shooting mostly for websites. “I’m an Internet whore,” she laughs. “I live in Miami and Miami is the Internet capital of porn. it’s all Internet out there.” Raquel says she has shot for Adam Redford who’s website touched some raw nerves for water buffalo fanciers.

“But we went fishing,” she says. “I caught a 40-pound black fin tuna on his boat,” says Raquel. “It was awesome. I was naked. It was naked fishing and Playboy Sexcetera did an interview-thing. It was cool. But I would never shoot a water buffalo. I love to fish.” But her activities aren’t confined to the ‘Net. Raquel comes out to California about very three months.

“I have a lot of DVD’s under my belt and I’m working with Joe of AMA, www.amatalent.com now. I’m getting more into the DVD’s now.” Asked what gave her the nudge to porn, Raquel describes herself as a fun girl who doesn’t want a 9 to 5 schedule at a desk. “When I was little I did some modeling.” Raquel grew up in Delaware. “In the middle of nowhere.”

In high school, Raquel played sports. “I was always the craziest one,” she says. “Because I grew up in Delaware, there’s nothing there. I was always fun. I was with every group of people. I was the craziest girl in my high school class. All I wanted to do was party and go to strip clubs. “There was only one strip club where I lived within a 45 minute radius. I had a fake ID and I’d go in there.” She’s also use the fake ID to go into the Atlantic City casinos.

Raquel mentions that she liked going to Cape May, New Jersey for laughs. I assumed that Raquel spent a few trips slipping over into Maryland, as well.

“I was in Ocean City, Maryland all the time,” she laughs. “We had some fun there. We hung out in a place called Secrets. But I guess I was pretty spontaneous although I never gave a blowjob until I was 18 or 19. I was very proud. I didn’t like giving blowjobs, now I do. I really enjoy it. I don’t know what it was.

“Sexually, I think I was 16 when I first had sex,” she adds. “He was a boyfriend and the only reason why I did it- I didn’t really want to do it- but everyone was, like, you’re still a virgin? How can you still be a virgin. I’m this crazy, spontaneous person. I think that’s the only reason. In a way, I regretted it, but look what I’m doing now.

“And I used to live in Pennsauken,” she adds. “I was 18 when I moved there. I stayed there for a year, two years. I got into a lot of trouble and I had to move. I went to Camden County college but I got into way too much trouble.” But Raquel never spent time of significance in Pennsauken.

“I was always in Philly,” she states. “I got a job at Egypt’s working in Philly on Delaware Avenue. I was a shot girl. I liked it. I liked being in the action and doing stuff like that. That’s where I got into the industry. I was approached by someone. He said you want to make a couple extra dollars? Okay. But I needed money to move to get away from what I was getting into there. My sister lived in Florida. She said why don’t you come down here. I needed to get some money so I did a couple of shoots for an Internet company that was all about housewives. I was a young housewife. I did that for a couple of months and made $3,000 just doing nude pictures. I got the money, packed up my car and moved down to south Florida.”

Once she got down there and situated, Raquel put her portfolio online then got contacted by another company that she’d rather not give any publicity to. “I really don’t like them right now- but they’re one of those bigger companies that adult work. I went in there and started doing girl-girl and solos. I wouldn’t go any further. Then I did. Like usual- girls who say that and go further. I was with them for a year. I signed a contract. Everything was going good then I met my fiance Justin. I brought him into the industry, and we tried working with other partners. We couldn’t handle it. There’s a lot of people in the industry who can. They like that lifestyle. We couldn’t do it. Now we work exclusively with each other. I still do girl-girl. He joins in but it’s worked out really well. People have told me you’re not going to be able to be in this industry if you don’t fuck other men. But we’ve come a long way. People really respect us for what we’re doing and we’re doing really good with what we’re doing.”

Raquel is still based in Florida, living in Ft. Lauderdale. She’s planning a move to Miami. “I just signed a contract with this company called Pink TV,” she says. “They’re going to be like Playboy TV, basically. They’re going to have Pink TV live. I know they’re already over in Prague and they already have 16 million viewers when they launch. They’re going to be as big as Playboy TV. They’e over in France and all those countries and they said why don’t we market in the U.S.” Raquel is going to be a host for one of the shows. “It’s cool. Their concepts are amazing. They’re going to have a voyeur room that’s going to be on TV and the Internet where they can look at the girls doing whatever. They also have private sessions where they have booths set up where you can click on met Raquel and do a private session with me. I go into this little room and they can see me and tell me what they want me to do. All that type of stuff.”

Raquel is very happy to be affiliated with such a project, she says. “They’re a good company, and I think it’s a good step in my career.” Raquel notes that she’s on a non-exclusive contract basis. “It’s going good and I’m really excited about that.”

Raquel updates her site every week. She’s had the site for two years. “It’s doing very good,” she says. “And I have other people come on there besides myself. I do a lot of fun stuff. I like to go out and go to crazy places.” Raquel also has another site called, www.coastalgirl.com. “We custom videos. People send in their script of what they want me to do. I’ve done some of the craziest things. I’ve bounced on balloons. People like that. Smoking fetish.”

I used to review custom videos an ask Raquel if she got any requests to iron. That always used to be a big thing but Raquel has never been asked to do that. “There’s pee’ing and all those usual ones,” she says. “There’s sticky, gooey-stuff that people are into.” Raquel remembers being asked to do something with marshmallows. “I had to squash my feet around into them. I’m like what are you getting off on.” There used to be a similar fetish with earthworms, but Raquel will not kill anything, noting that they went after people for doing that stuff.

“Then there’s all that necro-stuff which I don’t like,” she says. Raquel mentions that she likes being choked during sex. “But I don’t like to act like I’m dead- I don’t think that’s cool.” But she has received those requests. “I want to see Veronika shot. I want to see her choked. I want to see her eyes roll back in her head.”

For the most part, Raquel’s a sport. Not so much being smacked, but she likes having her hair pulled. “I like rough sex- I love having my ass smacked,” she adds. “I love being fucked hard. And I did my first anal scene.”

Raquel tried butt plugs in the past. “But this was the first time I had a penis in my ass and I rode that fucking cock like there was no tomorrow. I was really, really nervous because I was afraid it was going to hurt. I didn’t want it to hurt. It felt funny at first but once it loosened up I did every position.” Raquel is really quite proud of herself.

“I was doing that pile driver position and he [Jason] was ramming me,” she says. “I came like I never came before. I think I’m going to start doing a lot of anal now.”

The first time Raquel came out to California, she was 19. She’s going on 23 and remembers being nervous the first time. “I wasn’t quite sure if I really wanted to do this. I had just done the Internet stuff, but I had done good. My first scene was with Ed Powers. He’s a very, very nice guy. Everyone was very nice and I never had a bad experience coming out here.”
