Excerpt from an interview with a porn star from Sexpectations

Name: Roni Raye
Age:29
Occupation: Amateur porn star, phone sex operator, model and more
Relationship Status: In a long term relationship

How long have you been in the porn business?
Over three years now. Before this I was working as a dental assistant. One day I got bored with the job and have been doing this ever since. I enjoy this so much because I have get so much attention from men. My exposure is very different than a stripper, where they get immediate attention. I get the attention I crave, but I do it on my terms. I get letters, phone calls, but there is no physical contact with anyone.

What magazines have run photos of you?
Velvet, Gallery, Genesis, Cheri, Hustler's Busty Beauty, Amateur Hour, and many more.

How did you gain national attention?
I got national attention when the company I work for had legal problems from porn videos they were marketing. As a result of their legal battles, they received a lot of talk show footage on television. The company got lots of requests to be on talk shows. They asked me to be on Maury Povich with them. Once I was on Maury Povich and since I've been in all the magazines and had my photos in bookstores, I couldn't help but gain national attention. It doesn't mean that I am a national figure or anything. Guys who are definitely into pornography and way into the amateur industry will know who I am.

Do you enjoy doing professional phone sex?
I love it. I will probably be doing that until I am 80 or 90. I really like interacting with people. On a sexual level, it is very stimulating. It is not just about words, it is really fun. Contrary to people's beliefs, there are different types of phone sex operators. There are the big offices called boiler rooms, that have 500 girls working and you can hear phones ringing in the background. There cannot be a sexual connotation in those circumstances. The women are not for real, they are faking.

Then there is someone like myself, who works out of her home and lays in bed and does calls. There are certain men I have a connection with and it can be very sexual without faking.

Do you sometimes masturbate on calls?
Yes, I do. For someone who interviews women on sex, you sure get embarrassed.

I am not embarrassed at all. I am just trying to get my questions answered. Are you monogamous with your boyfriend?
By nature I am a monogamous person; I'm not a swinger. Many people think that because I do all the videos and phone sex, that I am a swinger, but I'm not. I only do videos with men I am in a relationship with, and you won't find that often. Most people who are doing porn videos or amateur videos are swingers, or have had multiple partners. The most men I've been with is only two.

Who are the men who call your phone sex line?
On my phone line I get doctors, lawyers, even Congressmen. I get people of all kinds who want to talk to me. I can't tell you which Congressmen I get, but I do. I get very influential and wealthy publishers. I don't know what makes me special, it is not just about sex. I have no problem with some guy calling me because he is horny and just wants sexual relief, because I enjoy that. I get power in doing that, it really builds my ego. There is something about hearing a man come on the other end of the line that just gets me excited....
