Faith Leon: ‘I Had Never Seen A Porn Movie Before Getting Into The Industry’

LOS ANGELES (TNA) – It’s a good thing porn actress Faith Leon can do most of her work laying down, because she’s been known to have problems standing up.

A self-professed bad dancer, Leon, 23, had to quit her career as a stripper because of her lack of balance.

“I only stripped for two months,” Leon said during a March 25th chat with Naughty America. “It was right after high school and I left after falling off the stage during a show. I wasn’t too graceful.”

But Leon has tried other forms of dancing as well, some of which have come with much better pay-offs, such as having sex for the first time.

“When I was almost 18,” the North Carolina native recalls, “I worked as a can-can dancer at an amusement park. It was a Western themed show and me and one of the cowboys went behind the set and did it.”

But after giving up her dancing aspirations, Leon worked as a waitress at Hooters while attending college.

“I was a broke college student waitressing 60 hours a week. I hated it.”

Leon found the solution to her plight when she went online and answered an ad for a porn audition.

“I didn’t know anything at all about porn,” she said. “I had never seen a porn movie before getting into the industry. But I just jumped right into it.”

The gamble paid off. Leon moved to L.A. and met her future husband and fellow porn star Marcos Leon, and though she says she loves her work, she likes to keep it separate from her private life.

“My husband and I don’t do scenes together anymore,” she explained. “I don’t think of him as a porn star and he doesn’t think of me as a porn girl.”

Also, she will not do some of the things she does in private on camera. For example, the best orgasm she ever had occurred under rather dangerous circumstances that she doesn’t plan to ever recreate on film.

“I was in the bathtub getting fucked,” she recounts. “And as I was coming I stuck my head under water and sucked all this water into my mouth. I almost drowned, but it sort of added to the experience because it made it more intense.”

And while Leon is willing to try out interesting and even dangerous stunts during sex, she remains adamant about keeping one thing intact: her ass.

“My ass is a no entrance zone,” she said. “I don’t do anal in my private life and I’m not gonna do it on film. It hurts too much.”

When asked what advice she would give to someone looking to get in the business, Leon warned about the addictive nature of the job.

“If you wanna do it, do it,” she said. “But it gets addicting. The money, the freedom. Going from porn to a normal job is going to suck ass. So if you are planning on doing something else after porn, be careful.”
