I interview Jasmine Tame, 19, who's
been in porn for seven months, appearing in about 80 scenes.
"I was broke. I was in college. This was my big
break and I liked it."
What did you study in college?
"I was taking the basic classes like math and
science and that crap."
Charlotte Stokely says she started college. She
says she has about two year's worth of credits.
Jasmine: "I like LA because the mountains are
pretty and the people are nice. I just like the heat, so I'm never
going to leave Miami."
Luke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with
in highschool?"
Jasmine: "It was a mix of people. Geeks, the
popular girls, to sports guys... I was a good student through all
the cheating. I had a good GPA. I cheated on every test I had. I
hated school so I just cheated."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want
to be when you grew up?"
Jasmine: "I wanted to be a dolphin trainer.
After that, I wanted to be a choreographer, but that's too
competitive, so I've just stuck with Adult film."
Jasmine asks James Deen: "What did you want to
do? This? Well, you're 19."
Luke: "He's a guy.
"What's the oldest guy you've been with?"
Jasmine: "Sixty."
Luke: "You did a scene with Dave Cummings?"
Jasmine shakes her head. "It was a private. I
gave a BJ to some old guy. It was different. Doesn't bother me."
Tame got a breast job last October, moving from
a 34B to a 36C.
Luke: "What were you expected to become by your
parents?"
Jasmine: "They left it up to me but my dad
wanted me to work in healthcare, but I hate blood and I don't want
to be near people puking."
James Deen no longer likes to be referred to as
"talent." He's a "sexually liberated craftsman."
James: "There's no talent in what I do."
August 30, 2007
I first spoke to this cute blonde on December
7, 2005.
Thursday morning we chat by phone.
Jasmine: "I stayed in Florida [out of porn] for
seven months until June when I went back [to Los Angeles to do
hardcore]."
"It's so hard to travel back and forth. I was
thinking of moving out there at the new year and starting all over
again."
Luke: "What do you love and what do you hate
about being a porn star?"
Jasmine: "It's creative. Yeah, it's sex but you
can come up with so many fun things to do around it. I like that I
can do whatever I want, wear whatever I want and say whatever I
want and it's all fun.
"Negatives? Yeah, some people are rude. They
don't care about you. They'll make things up about you. They'll
put it so negative and really it's not.
"As far as drugs. If a girl wants to drink on
set, that's her thing. It's not like people do it purposely or
just because of the job."
Luke: "How often have you seen drugs on set?"
Jasmine: "Rarely. The only person I remember
always having drinks was my friend Chico [Wang]."
"Shelley Lubben puts out that it's fun at the
beginning and then you get tired of it. She should've known that
going in. She's going, 'These guys just want to use you.' No s---.
I know. That's what the sex industry is all about -- what you do
for me and what I do for you."
"I like being sexy. It doesn't matter where and
when. It doesn't matter if it is all taboo or if it is on Club
Jenna's set.
"She's making everyone so bad for doing what
they're doing. I still want to do photography even if I'm not in
porn. I still want to take sexy pictures of myself."
Luke: "How has being in the industry affected
you?"
Jasmine: "It really hasn't. The only thing that
affects me is the stress. There's so much. And it doesn't stop. It
just keeps your mind going and going and going. It can be
addicting but it doesn't take over my world. I like to do other
things. I'm pretty normal."
Luke: "Did you lose any friends from your
decision to get into this industry?"
Jasmine: "No. I was pretty much on my own when
I went to college."
"It doesn't change anything. They don't look at
me any differently."
Luke: "How did your family react?"
Jasmine: "I never told my dad. He would never
ask. My mother knows. She doesn't hate me. I'm still the same. I'm
not messed up. I told her I could do anything I want. I just do
porn. It's no biggie."
Luke: "How has it affected your love life?"
Jasmine: "I started a month before I met
someone. I did it the whole time I had a boyfriend. It didn't
affect it at all. Over time, yeah, I broke up with him but it
doesn't make me not love anybody. I separate the sex from the
love. It can just be fun.
"Shelley said having great sex with the person
you love... You can. You can have one-time meetings with other
people just for fun. It doesn't have to mean anything. Sometimes
people like to have sex with strangers, like swinging.
"She's like, 'You don't know what good sex is.'
Yes, I do. Mixing your emotions with the business is something you
can't really do. You can't be emotional and have sex with whoever
you want. You shouldn't mix love and sex."
Luke: "How has it affected you to mix love and
sex?"
Jasmine: "It's my choice to be in an open
relationship. We like to have sex with other people. Right now I'm
not looking to be serious with anyone. I don't sleep around as
much as people think I do."
Luke: "How's Chico doing?"
Jasmine: "I don't know. I think he left the
country. The funny part is he didn't tell me. He spaced himself
out from other people."
"We were friends but he kept his distance. I
don't know why. Maybe he stays at home by himself and doesn't deal
with things. He's happy now he has a girlfriend [Hailey Page]. He
just wanted someone there all the time. I was there but not
enough."
Luke: "What happened?"
"He told Hailey, 'You're coming on the boat
with me tomorrow because I'm afraid you're going to shoot up.' She
exaggerated and said he kidnapped her. She was trying to piss him
off. And he's trying to help her.
"Hailey had guns under her name. I think Chico
got caught with a gun in the car. A felon with a gun is like a
year in jail. He doesn't want to go to jail. He left the country.
He wanted to go anyway.
"He wrote a blog saying there's violence in
America while in China there's not much violence and gangs. He
wanted to keep doing his website. He was doing it for the fun,
like I am. He wanted to do fun sites like PornoJackAss."
Luke: "You're one of the few people in the
industry who stuck by him."
Jasmine: "Yeah. I don't know why. He confronts
people. I told him, 'Don't even bother.' He learned the lesson the
hard way by having some guy say that Chico robbed his house."
Jasmine wants to open a small shop.
Luke: "Did you save your money?"
Jasmine: "No. I was in a relationship and it
was a learning process. I blew all of my money. I'm going to start
all over again. I took time off to think of smarter ways to do
it."
