Porn Valley- The Sports Swami interviewed Shy Love this past Friday. Love reports that she just started directing. “Which is fun because it’s nice to be behind the camera once in awhile and put my input into what naughty should be.”

Love said she’s done 260 movies in a year. “I guess I’m trying to come out with a big bang.” What a lot of people may not realize, says Love, is that she owns an accounting firm. “I’ve been managing that as well.”

Asked how she gets away with being naughty outside of the office, Love attributes that to having totally different lifestyles. “Two personalities,” she says. “I swear. No one knows what I do in the office. I own it. So no one can really fire me. It’s like going to work in a business suit, my glasses, my hair up and being as professional as I can be and acting like I’m not a wild child. As soon as the doors are closed and I’m not there, everything’s bad!”

Love says she can be as conservative as she is extreme and extravagant about everything she does. “I have a mixture of personalities. Being wild and extreme doesn’t mean that I can’t be conservative, professional and bright. I think the best of the world is having both of them. Because you can take the world in you whole hands and no one can do a thing about it.”

Love was asked if she negotiates her own deals or whether she relies on L.A. Direct Models, www.ladirectmodels.com to do that for her. “L.A Direct Models does a lot for me,” said Love. “I basically have set rates. I don’t negotiate. I don’t budge from them. They know it. They know I’m very professional about what I do. Even though L.A. Direct Models manages pretty much a lot of stuff for me that has to do with me being talent only, I’m pretty sure that me being a business woman helps out a lot. It helps not only with pay but with me directing, me dealing with distributors, me dealing with everything. Me dealing with my fans is a business as well.”

Love claims to have over 1700 members to her website. “I have to make sure they’re all getting responses. I’m talking to everyone consistently every week so that they continue to stay my fans.”

Asked where she gets the time to do it all, Love says she doesn’t sleep. “But that’s okay. I’ll plenty of time to sleep in the future.”

It was noted that Love grew up in Germany as an Airforce brat and traveled across the world. She was asked how all that heightened her sensual awareness. Love said her father was pretty straight but that her mother is Puerto Rican. “When we were way young we were taught to be sexy and sensual,” she says. “Puerto Rican women are taught that from way high. It’s a natural instinct. They throw family parties and they’re doing seductive dances. Growing up, my dad did most of the raising and my mom just kind of stayed in the background. And he was pretty straight. Because I remember I couldn’t hang out in the front yard past the time- as soon as the lights outside went off, usually around 6:30, I had to be inside. And I wasn’t allowed to get bad grades in school or else I would get punished. My dad was pretty strict.”

Love said her parents were so strict that she’s only dated and been with two guys in whole personal life. “I’ve been with more guys on camera than I have in my personal life.”

Love said being on camera allows her to do all the stuff that she’s wanted to do. “All the scenes that girls say, oh God, I wish I could do that without getting a name and not feel bad about it.” Love says the alternate personality that she’s created for the camera allows her to be whoever it is she wants to be.

“And that’s what I enjoy about the camera the most,” she says. “That’s the time when I’m most open about myself.”Love is happily married and says she has different ways of balancing her married life and porn life.

“This is my one rule whenever I’m on camera- whenever the camera is on, that’s the person you’re with. That’s your relationship. That’s the guy you’re in love with. That’s the guy that you have to show your emotions and everything to at that moment. Believe it or not, all the guys I work with usually become great friends.”

Love says it’s easy for her because she’s that person at that moment. “But my husband knows that when that camera is off, as much as I enjoy the thrill of it, the fun of it, and the guys, I’m going to go home to him. At the end of the day when I get sick, or when I need someone to take care of me or talk to; someone for anything possible, he’s going to be there.”

Love explains that she met her husband way before he got into the industry. “So he knows I’m not going anywhere.” Asked how she met her husband, Love said she was hanging out with her girlfriend. “She wanted to go to this Mexican restaurant. I’m refusing to do it. I hated it. We ended up going there anyway. At that time I was already married and in a separation with my ex-husband. I married my first boyfriend, then I married my second.”

Though she was separated and her husband was in another country, Love kept her ring on. “I didn’t like guys coming on to me. This was before I said who cares who comes on to me. The funny part of it was, she was single and he ended up going out on a date with her the following night which happened to be New Year’s Eve. She brought a backup date who almost ended up fighting with him. I got stuck with him and we’ve been inseparable since.”

Love said she got “stuck” to stop a fight but it was the best thing she’s got stuck with her entire life. “Absolutely wonderful- I enjoyed being put in a predicament where I had to stop a fight then having to become best friends with the guy I married.”

Getting back to the “rules” issue, Love said she has certain things that she doesn’t do. “And I have certain things that are just for him. Regardless of how much money is offered and who it is, I don’t break it. And those are the things I give to him. On camera as long as I don’t do those things I can pretty much do whatever I want.”

Love said her and her husband are open about everything. “One reason our marriage works, before I got into the industry, we used to do the whole bringing girls home, and most women don’t realize that sometimes you need a little bit of entertainment to keep the romance and excitement going.”

Love said another of her rules is she doesn’t do cream pies. “The only person that gets to do that is the person I’m married to.” And Love, under no condition, swallows.

“Any function that has to do with cum is just with my husband. There’s no consumption of cum in any way.” Otherwise, said Love, she can do as many guys as she wants. “That’s how we keep it where we can separate business from pleasure.”

Although her husband is not an adult performer, Love says they’ve done a couple of scenes together. “He just started directing his own stuff, but he owns an advertising agency that does a lot of Internet advertising for a lot of huge clients. I can’t say their names because I don’t want to get him in trouble. He has a multitude of clients that everyone in the world probably knows.”

Asked how his family reacts to it, Love mentions another of her “rules”.

“Neither one of us lies about anything,” she said. “His entire family knows what we do. My entire family knows what we do. The one rule that they have is be safe and secure about what you do but just not mention it to them. They know that we do it. They respect the idea that we do it; they’re not happy with the decision but they love us either way. They just don’t want to hear any of the details or any of the gruesome stuff.”

Love said while her and her mother talk on the phone every day, her father doesn’t like the decisions that she’s made. Love also states that she has two Masters degree. “They [her parents] know I’ve done everything professionally but that I just , now, want to be naughty.”

Love said she wants to have a family but doesn’t have an estimated time about being out of the business. “I just say just as long I’m having fun and enjoying every moment of my life I’m going to keep doing it. The day I don’t have an enjoyment is the day that you’ll probably stop seeing me perform.”

The advantage of also being a director, according to Love, is that she knows what a lot of the girls go through prior to a scene. “There’s days I go seven hours without a meal trying to get the one scene.” Love said being a performer/director also gives her an insight into what a performer can handle. Love says her one disadvantage is that a lot of the talent are friends and associates. “Sometimes they think my friendship is going to allow them to have a softer, sweeter day: I don’t have to work as hard. No, I don’t play those games. Friendship and business, apart, I have certain things that my fans want and that’s what I’m going to give them.”

Addressing the talent becoming directors issue which was a heated one this year, Love feels that talent is as well educated and well rounded as a lot of the directors.

“I can understand if someone came into the industry and the only thing they’ve ever done has been talent and they’ve never been behind a camera, never handled anything regarding communications and directing and understanding what their fans want, but not all of are dumb and naive. A lot of us are very educated and very well-rounded. And we can handle as much as they can.”

Love maintains the www.shylalovexxx.com site for her fans. “I give my fans all my private things- I give them my diary; I tell them about my life. It’s me. When they get a letter written to them it’s me writing to them.”

She also maintains another site, www.putitwherever.com “Sometimes as much as your fans love you,” Love explains, “you have to be business-like. Your fans want to see you; they get bored and they want to see someone else. It’s a fluctuating thing. If you want to stay in the market and keep making money, you give them different options but still give them the opportunity to come back and see you.”

On this site, Love and other porn stars do content, and live chat shows. “You can see live porn stars up close and personal. You can tell them what you want them to do. It gives them different options.

“Because I love me,” continued Love. “But sometimes I couldn’t imagine me watching me all day long.”

Asked about her relationship with Kelly Kline, Love said Kline and her husband are roommates of hers. “We are amazing friends and will always be amazing friends. I think the reason why everyone always mentions Kelly Kline and Richard Kline, is because we’re always together, always talking. I’ve learned so much from those two. She is the sexiest thing ever and it’s good to know that once in awhile I get to molest her and do whatever I want. She doesn’t say no.”

Love, who came in the business at 24, was asked what she thought about there being an age limit.

“I give more power to these girls who are 18 years old,” she says. “They’re coming in at full force. I just know that me, personally, at 18, I wasn’t mature enough to handle what the business was. Before I made a decision this drastic, I wanted to make sure that I knew every step possible. Sometimes you can allow this business to manipulate you. Instead of you being yourself and the business being a part of you, sometimes the business can be your entire you. “You have to understand that when you’re not on set and you’re not at a promotional party, you’re actually supposed to have a life and you’re supposed to be you. And that’s what makes your fans like you- because you’re not always this fake, imaginary person.”
