Adam Wilcox posts on www.xxxwasteland.wordpress.com – In an industry constantly faced with adversity, veteran adult performer Mariah Milano has built a successful body of work spanning nearly a decade and a half. Since 1998, Milano has not only established a reputable name in front of the camera, but also helms a network of personal websites in addition to operating her affiliate program, Pornstar Payday.
Milano branched out into the cooking genre earlier this year with the launch of her Dinner With a Porn Star site combining sex appeal and cuisine. Following the success of that venture, Mariah introduced a sister page only a few weeks ago called www.DinnerWithMariah.com, where fans can enter a monthly raffle to be flown out for a meal with the starlet at one of her favorite restaurants.
Milano announced this week that she will no longer be performing in XXX films and will instead focus on shooting content for her official website and appearing in cam shows.
Mariah kindly granted XXX Wasteland an interview to discuss her retirement, plans for the future, reflections on her career and more.
You can visit Mariah online at MariahXXX.net and follow her on Twitter under the handle @MariahMilanoXXX. Milano’s FreeOnes page is available for viewing here.
Q: Obviously, the big news is your recent announcement that you are retiring from performing in adult films. For those unaware, can you explain how and why you arrived at this decision?
I have been out of the game since December 2011, but wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I didn’t know if I wanted to make it official or not. The state of the industry now is embarrassing. The girls are all escorting and still shooting scenes, which is so dangerous for everyone else. The testing situation is a mess and I just didn’t enjoy it anymore. It was past due, so I just stopped putting it off and did it officially.
Q: Although you will no longer work for production companies, I read that you will continue to appear in cam shows and shoot content for your official website, www.MariahXXX.net. On that note, can you tell us about the site and what those who sign up for membership can expect?
My site has nearly 2000 videos and it’s won awards and been nominated every year for five years for AVN and XBIZ Awards. My site is awesome; I do cam shows for my members and will continue to shoot some videos and photos for my sites only.
Q: When you look back on your career, what memories stand out the most during your time as an adult film star?
My first time having an orgasm on camera was in a scene with this Spanish girl. She used a pocket rocket on me while she licked my pussy and I had never come on camera before. It was intense!
Q: I understand you have several cooking-related projects in the works, namely an upcoming cookbook and a deal with European cable networks to shoot weekly cooking segments. Can you tell us about those endeavors?
I started my site, www.DinnerWithaPornStar.com, and it grew so fast and I got so much feedback, it was crazy. I found out after I started it that other girls had done some cooking stuff, but they all did it naked and it wasn’t about the food.
Q: Can you tell readers what the unique Dinner With a Porn Star page is about?
It’s about cooking and travel with photos of food I have cooked and also restaurants all over the world, complete with photos, videos and reviews.
Q: Let’s go back to the beginning: Can you explain how you initially became interested – and later involved – in the adult industry?
I was 18 and wanted to make money. I ran into a friend who was doing movies and took to me a set.
Q: Speaking as someone who has enjoyed a successful long-term career in the porn business, what advice would you give to men and women aspiring to enter the industry?
I would tell them that everyone they don’t want to know will find out. Their dads and moms will see it. They will be treated like shit by girls and the people that they think are their friends will talk shit. It isn’t easy. And people won’t take you seriously unless you demand respect.
Q: Is there one general misconception about the adult world that you wish you could dispel?
That we aren’t all drug addicts and hookers. That we don’t want you to E-mail pictures of your dick and that if you E-mail and say how bad you want to fuck us, you automatically get dumped into the “Junk” folder forever.
Q: Let’s learn a little bit about Mariah Milano, the person. Can you tell us where you were raised and how you would describe yourself growing up?
I was raised in Chatsworth in the Valley in L.A. It’s the porn capital of the world. I was shy and grouchy. (Laughs)
Q: What are some of your interests and hobbies?
Travel, cooking and spending time on my boat.
Q: Is there one thing about yourself that you feel would surprise most people?
That I don’t crave to fuck 24 hours a day. I also am a writer and I am a certified diver.
Q: Are there any more current or upcoming projects in the works that you would like to mention?
I have a few big things, but I am not permitted to talk about them at this time. But they are big-time and I am very proud!
Q: In closing, is there anything you wish to say to readers?
I love my fans and I hope you check out my sites and follow me on Twitter @MariahMilanoXXX.
