During the interview with Oprah, several things about Jenna stuck with me.

Jenna has since retired, but during her career she could boast a $60K paycheck for just 1.5 days of work.  She’s written a best selling memoir “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star:  A Cautionary Tale” as well.  After retiring, she gave birth to twin boys, and is a stay-at-home mother.   

Society has a big misconception about porn stars in general.  They think Jenna has had thousands of partners, and is a slut or whore.  However, in actuality most of Jenna’s career was spent having sex with her husband (now ex-husband, another porn star).  She thinks this is why her movies sold so well, because you could see the love and connection between the two actors.  This may also be why erotica produced by women for women has become so popular. It connects emotionally with the viewer. 

Jenna also faced infertility struggles for nearly 10 years before becoming pregnant with her twin boys (fathered by husband Tito Ortiz, a mixed martial artist and Ultimate Fighting Champ).  Now her world revolves around her sons.  She worries about how to explain her past to them - when they are old enough.  Jenna said on the show, it’s not that she worries what people or society thinks of her, but she does worry about what her sons think. 

She also doesn’t want other mothers to discriminate against her sons because of who their mother once was.  They might be denied play-dates, parties, or other kids’ activities based on their judgments about Jenna’s past.
