An interview with Tanner Mayes posted on www.IShootPorn.com –

I Shoot Porn: Um…so what’s new with Miss Tanner Mayes?

Tanner Mayes: Well, I feel great. I thought I was gonna quit porn and get married. I was with LA Direct, and slowly the work was slowing down. I was in Michigan for a little bit, observing that life…and engaged. I decided that place wasn’t for me. I just started shooting again with Porno Dan. I still might get married, but no Michigan. That’s for sure.

ISP: So you’re sober.

TM: Right. I’ve been sober six months. Three months. Five months. Feels like a long time. Forever. Not forever.

ISP: Would you say sobriety is a struggle?

TM: It definitely is. I drove around for a while before I got to your studio, just in circles, frightened. Nervs. I was really nervous. I wasn’t loaded. In the old days I used to party before a scene cause it made me feel good. I still smoke pot…I mean…I dunno how to explain it.

ISP: Do you need drugs to do porn?

TM: No. I don’t wanna party before I go do a scene. I don’t need it. I don’t wanna show up and look like the asshole. I want to continue in the adult biz, too.

ISP: You showed up on time today. Sober. Ready to work.

TM: Thanks.

ISP: What was your drug of choice?

TM: Crystal meth. And it’s still weed.

ISP: My question’s always been, with what we all know about serious drugs, why does someone take that first hit?

TM: I was actually out, shooting a scene, and after we’re all sitting there partying, and in the course of a porn career you run into those things. From there it’s just a matter of what you wanna do, and I’m always up for anything. “Hey, you wanna hit this?” and I said sure. I stayed up that whole night partying. GHB and speed. This was a director’s place, and we’re all hanging out and making money and having fun…but then it eventually spins out of control. Now I miss so much that drugs prevented me from having. I really feel one of the reasons I’m not a top girl is I prevented myself from letting it happen. I’m not trying to sound conceited, but drugs took me to my bottom. I was so paranoid.

ISP: So no more YouTube vids of Tanner Mayes throwing a fit and being escorted out of the building?

TM: Right! I’m a firm believer that I’m always right. (Starts to laugh.) No! I’m kidding. I was loaded on set that day, and you know what? I didn’t learn anything. Cause it just got worse. I was missing scenes and showing up late…if at all. That just wasn’t me. I was driven by fear. I’m afraid of rejection, and drugs are like a Superman cape.

ISP: How long you been in the biz now?

TM: 3 years. I’m 22. My first scene was for the Score Group. I think it was T & A Tryouts.

ISP: What’s your best scene?

TM: I liked My Teen Swallows from Vince Vouyer.

ISP: What’s gonna happen for the rest of 2011?

TM: Hopefully I’m working on a porno set.

ISP: You don’t have an agent.

TM: I like agents…I just don’t want to be that floating talent who’s been with every agent in the business. I started with Jim South, then Shy Love, then LA Direct. I wouldn’t really know who to go with now.

ISP: Are you even ready to have an agent? Are you ready to start getting calls for work?

TM: Definitely. I love this business. Every day is different. I was so scared of it for a while. Can’t it be scary and intimidating?

ISP: Absolutely. I could never be male talent. I could take that call from some director dude I’ve never met telling me to be on his set to fuck some girl I may or may not be attracted to and open up for camera during sex and go through stills and have to keep a boner the whole time. No way.

TM: I know. It’s so much different than posing in front of a mirror or dancing in front of it. You know I put all these mirrors in my house and I lived in front of them. That’s crazy! It’s what drugs will do. I needed to know what I looked like. Super vain. Super crazy.

ISP: What else are you working on?

TM: PlanetTanner.com. There’s nothing there yet, but it’s a work in progress. I tweet, too.

ISP: What’s your favorite fast food combo?

TM: McDonald’s #2 no cheese ketchup only with a Diet Coke.

ISP: Do you like your bacon chewy and not-too-well-done — or crispy and crunchy?

TM: Depends on who’s making it. I guess I like it kinda soggy.

ISP: What movie can you watch over and over and never get tired of?

TM: Easy A.

ISP: What song can you listen to over and over and never get tired of?

TM: Lupe Fiasco…um, what is it?

ISP: I dunno Lupe Fiasco. Do you know Wilco?

TM: No.

ISP: Does size matter?

TM: Only for looks.

ISP: What panties do you wear in your private life?

TM: Depends on what I’m wearing. If I’m wearing a dress then I wear little shorts. It also depends on where I’m going.

ISP: I heard you have a thing for older men.

TM: I do!

ISP: I’m 47. Does that mean I’m in?

TM: Perfect! I like ‘em floatin’ around 50.

ISP: Would that be The Daddy Issue living inside your head?

TM: I’ve resolved The Daddy Issue. Jesus Saves!

ISP: Are you for real right now? Can we talk about this?

TM: OK!

ISP: When did you get saved?

TM: A few months ago.

ISP: How do you deal with the conflicting moral issue of your theology and being in porn? And would you go as far as to say you’re a Jesus Freak?

TM: At first I thought I would have to be a Jesus Freak. That’s another reason I was out of porn. I thought I was gonna quit. That’s what initially started the binge drug use. How I felt internally about porn. I thought it was a bad thing. I was already sexually active, and I really needed money…so I got in. Then, after I got in, it was kinda like a current, in a way like a current is…you can’t control things…the fans, getting booked. I was young, too. And we’re all sinners. I love myself and I share and I give. It’s not all taking. Before, when I was on drugs, I was a taker. Now, I’m giving. I want to share my body with people who really appreciate it. Accept the love. I used to run from it. Now I embrace.

ISP: So are we all gonna go to hell cause we’re in porn?

TM: Not at all. Being saved means you’re going to Heaven.

ISP: If you go into the bathroom and you blow my floatin’-around-50-year-old wee wee, we’re still good for Heaven?

TM: Um…right. We have choices.
