Kendra Lust: An Intimate Interview with a Porn Industry Icon
Kendra Lust is a name synonymous with passion, charisma, and success in the adult film industry. In just a year and a half, she has carved out a significant space for herself. Her story is one of transformation, embracing sexuality, and defying expectations. This article delves into an interview with Kendra Lust, revealing her thoughts on her career, her personal life, and the adult entertainment industry.
From Small-Town Girl to Adult Film Star
Kendra Lust's journey began in a small town, where she describes herself as a "pretty normal kid." She was involved in sports, had an active social life, and was even a homecoming queen. "I was very promiscuous, even from a very, very young age," she admits. Despite her wild side, she excelled academically, maintaining honor student status. One spring break during her junior year, she participated in an amateur dance contest at a local club, winning prize money that funded her trip. "I was actually 16!" she laughs, recalling her early adventures.
After high school, Kendra followed a more traditional path, graduating from nursing school and working as a registered nurse for six years. She enjoyed caring for people but felt a desire to explore other avenues. "I thought life is too short so I checked some things off my bucket list," she explains. "I felt, what do I have to lose? Nothing. The worse they can tell me is no."
Embracing a New Career
Kendra's entry into the adult film industry was initially intended as a short-term adventure, a way to check something off her bucket list. "Honestly, when I first got involved, I was just going to do this, see what happens and check it off my bucket list and go from there," she says. "I honestly thought I could stay under the radar." However, her career quickly took off, leading her to embrace her new path.
She candidly addresses the potential social stigma associated with her profession. "I will never feel guilty or ashamed for what I do," she asserts. "I think more women would love to do it but I think they are afraid of that social stigma associated with it. But I don’t give a shit. I don’t care." Kendra emphasizes that her career does not define her as a person. "I’ve always felt that a career does not define you, only if you let it," she says. "And I have a whole other life outside of porn. Porn doesn’t define me as a person."

Kendra's decision to enter the adult film industry came after a period of web-camming. Encouraged by viewers in her chatroom, she researched major companies like Brazzers and Kink and sent in her pictures. "I was going to harass the shit out of them until they agreed to book me," she jokes. Despite being nervous on her first set, she let her guard down and embraced the experience.
Even after several months in the industry, Kendra still experiences pre-shoot jitters. "Every time I’m on set, I still get those butterflies," she admits. "I don’t take it as I’m just going to show up and have sex. I want to perform well, I want to put on a nice scene. I want everyone to be comfortable. I want it to be a good day."
Preferences and Experiences On-Screen
Kendra shares her preferences and experiences on set, offering insights into the realities of the adult film industry. She humorously recounts her experience with girl/girl scenes, stating, "I did two girl/girl scenes and I thought, 'this is boring!' Don’t get me wrong, I love women but I need dick!"
She also addresses common misconceptions about the industry. "People think we have sex all day and that’s the furthest thing from the truth," she explains. "It’s more setting everything up and the cameras and the lighting and the angle and the make-up and hair. It’s a lot of hurry up and wait." Kendra also challenges the stereotype of porn stars as unintelligent or drug-addicted. "I think a lot of people portray porn stars as bimbos, as having no brains," she says. "That we’re all doing drugs! And we’re not! Granted, there are some people that party and do their thing but not everybody does."
Kendra emphasizes the importance of communication and consent on set. "When you’re on set you want your male performers to be good," she says. "The two main things I worry about are my male performer and the director. I want them to be happy because if the male performer isn’t feeling it, your day is going to be really long. So you want to make sure he’s on point and he should be because he’s a professional. Even girls, I ask if they have any don’ts or no’s or anything she’s not cool with."

She also reveals some of her personal preferences, such as enjoying "a finger in my ass when I cum" and appreciating dirty talk during scenes. "I really like dirty talk in my scenes," she says. "Where they’re just whispering in my ear so that the director can’t hear it. All those dirty things get me going. I love it. I love the dirty talk. I love it when they get nasty."
Family and Personal Life
Kendra is open about her career with her family, including her mother, sister, aunts, and uncles. "I just told them," she says. "I guess I wanted them to find out from me instead of another way." While her relationship with her father is more superficial, she emphasizes that her career is not a reflection of her upbringing or her parents. "I have a great job and great parents and I couldn’t have asked for a more normal upbringing," she says. "This job isn’t a reflection of my parents."
She also shares her thoughts on her favorite performers, both male and female. Among the men, she lists Kieran Lee, Manuel Ferrara, Johnny Castle, and Johnny Sins as some of her favorites. As for women, she expresses admiration for Rachel Starr, Phoenix Marie, Jessica Drake, and Jada Stevens.
Memorable Experiences and Boundaries
Kendra recalls a memorable orgy scene she filmed for Brazzers, describing it as "crazy" and "awesome." She also discusses her boundaries on set, mentioning that she once declined a director's request to pee in a guy's mouth. "I just can’t do it," she says.
She acknowledges the importance of self-promotion in the industry, stating, "It’s PR. You see a director and say put me in this or I really like that." Kendra also reveals her interest in exploring a gang bang scenario, expressing her desire to be the center of attention. "There’s nothing more exciting to me than all those cocks worshipping me and fucking me," she says. "I just think it would be so hot! I’m a dirty little slut who likes being the center of attention."

Body Image and Fitness
Kendra openly discusses her experience with breast augmentation, explaining that she chose to have the procedure after losing weight and noticing a decrease in her breast size. "I was working out real hard and lost some weight and they were diminishing!" she says. "And I didn’t like the way they looked. So I just filled them out to pretty much what they were, like the same size. I lost a whole cup size with exercise and they weren’t as perky. So I bought myself a Christmas present and invested in the girls."
She emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, noting that she has always been athletic and enjoys various forms of exercise. "I have always been really athletic," she says. "I played sports in high school. I’ve always lifted weights and done cardio, I just like to mix it up. Do different classes, I’m not crazy about choreographed classes but I tried cycling and yoga and other stuff. But now I have a trainer. I don’t know what I was thinking! I was bored and needed to change it up so I hired this guy and he’s kicking my ass, literally. I despise him right now. I don’t even want to think about my session tomorrow."
Hobbies and Interests
Outside of her career, Kendra enjoys a variety of hobbies and interests, including house projects, traveling, boating, fishing, and attending sporting events. "I like doing house projects," she says. "I like traveling and getting away. Last weekend I went up north with my girlfriends. We were on a lake and it was really nice and relaxing. We did some boating. I love boating. I like the water. I like to fish. I like to catch football, basketball, baseball games. I like to exercise, just being out and about. Anything that’s kind of social. At times I can be isolated."
She also reveals her surprising talent for basketball. "Still to this day, I can crossover," she says. "I can dribble a basketball. I played in a rec league a few years ago and it was fun."
Advice for Aspiring Performers
Kendra offers advice for those considering a career in the adult film industry. "The one piece of advice I would give and I believe it, is that you have to first love sex," she says. "Really enjoy it. Nobody knows everything, but you have to enjoy it. You have to take it seriously. Not all the time, but you have to show up on time. It’s a profession, you have to take it seriously."
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Kendra hopes to continue working in the industry for the next few years. "My 5-year plan is to keep working and I’ll be 39-40 and that’ll be a great time to leave," she says. While she is unsure if she will return to nursing, she expresses a desire to work with children and make a difference.
Wrestling Similarities
During another interview, Kendra also discussed the adult film industry and the pro wrestling industry similarities. She mentioned that just like in wrestling, in the adult film industry, the performers should have "staying power." Kendra also added that she never quite fit in, because she doesn't live in LA, unlike the other performers.
