Avi Love grew up in the 24-hour world of Las Vegas, which meant pretty much everything was available at all times, but even in that crazy world she was sure she wanted to be a virgin until marriage.
And then came high school. And the bad boy boyfriend.
Speaking with Don Juan DeMarko at XCritic for part 2 of their amazing interview, she reveals that this boy had her rethinking her virgin-till-wedding-day idea. And she doesn’t seem to regret it one bit.
“I didn’t live in a household that was extremely religious or anything like that, but I had it in my mind at a very young age that I was not going to have sex until I was married,” she told XCritic. “I am a very hard-headed person, there are very few things that once I say or do something that I do not stick with it. Then, in high school, I got a boyfriend. He was this bad boy, and I mean a real bad boy in the sense that my family did not like him at all, but I was rebelling and I stuck with him despite my family’s outrage and I feel like he really allowed me to open my sexuality up in so many ways. He was the first person that I had sex with. He was the first person I had sex outdoors with. He was the first person I ever had sex with in a car. He was also the first person that I did anal with. I feel like he really got the freakiness out of me that I had inside of me that I had sheltered for so long.”
Virginity out of the way, Avi was sexually free and, obviously, went on to become one of the world’s greatest adult stars. As DeMarko points out in the interview, she is only the third performer ever to win Best Actress and Best Sexual Performance in the same year, which she did this year, and she is going to be a force to be reckoned with come the 2020 awards season. Among the movies she has coming out is a “big project” with director Jacky St. James.
“Jacky is just this amazing person to be around,” Avi said, refusing to reveal details about the project. “Her scripts are great. When she shoots, you get this feeling of organization within the production and I love that. She is a pro from second one on her set. I just love her.”
Of course, Avi also stars in some big new movies already on shelves: she has the lead in Wicked Picture’s new feature Sex & Lies, new scenes from Kink, Girlsway and Tushy and is on the cover of This Is Not Just aMassage from Fantasy Massage.
In the interview they also cover her awards (“It was simply unbelievable. It was really exciting; I just don’t know. Even now, words escape me.”); growing up in Vegas (“Living in a city that is going twenty-four hours, we could leave in the middle of the night and go get snacks and then just hang out and play Just Dance.); America’s frowning on sexuality and porn (“There is truly a degree of difficultness for somebody to come out even to their own family if they are not accepting. It makes it that much harder to achieve happiness and understanding in places that many people take for granted.”); and so much more.
Closing out the interview, DeMarko had many a nice thing to say about Avi. In part, he wrote, “This interview is very special, not just because Avi is having a monstrous year in 2019. Not because she has the potential to be one of the biggest stars in the adult world, no it is more than that. With this interview. Avi Love showed the world a depth that no one knows or wants to believe exists in this industry. she shines a light on a sisterhood/brotherhood of love and understanding in a work community.”
