    Aubrey Kate: "My Type Is Toxic!" — Dating, Desire & Redefining Trans Adult Entertainment

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with award-winning trans adult star, director and entrepreneur Aubrey Kate for an unfiltered conversation about adult entertainment, dating, attraction, secret admirers, industry politics and the reality of life at the top. Aubrey made history as Evil Angel's first trans contract performer and built a career that helped change the visibility of transgender women in adult entertainment. But her success didn't come without challenges. She opens up about being rejected by talent agencies early in her career, stepping away from mainstream productions, and making an ambitious comeback that eventually pushed her toward burnout. We also get into the questions fans really want answered. Aubrey reveals her personal dating preferences, why her on-camera chemistry doesn't always reflect her real-life attractions, and what she thinks about men who publicly reject trans women while secretly pursuing them. She also talks about dating other performers, navigating relationships as a successful adult star, and why she's become increasingly selective about the men she lets into her life. But some of Aubrey's biggest revelations are about the business itself. She explains why winning more adult industry awards actually resulted in fewer bookings, why established performers can struggle to compete with influencers commanding enormous paydays, and why she believes the industry's biggest celebrations don't always reward the people who built it. We also discuss her transition into directing, the creative freedom behind her productions, and what she's learned about maintaining boundaries and control both on and off camera. Beyond the glamour, Aubrey reflects on marriage, loneliness, financial success, personal fulfillment and the pressure of constantly proving yourself when you've already reached the top. From bedroom preferences to industry secrets, this is Aubrey Kate beyond the fantasy.

    Claudia Marie: “My Husband Loves Watching Me With Other Men” On 25 Years Of Open Marriage

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with veteran adult entertainer and self-described polyamorous hotwife Claudia Marie to talk about open marriage, swinging, jealousy, erotic fantasies, aging and the reality of sharing your partner after 25 years of marriage. Claudia and her husband, Robbie, have spent more than two decades exploring a relationship that challenges traditional ideas about marriage and monogamy. But despite their unconventional lifestyle, Claudia admits that jealousy hasn't disappeared completely. She explains why her husband enjoys watching her with other men, how they choose their partners, and why she's comfortable exploring erotic fantasies but still draws the line at certain forms of emotional intimacy. We also discuss the difference between intercourse and love, whether an open marriage can have stricter rules than a traditional one, and why Claudia believes some fantasies are better left unexplored. At 52, Claudia is experiencing another unexpected chapter in her career. She reveals why younger men are increasingly interested in mature women, how embracing the GILF category changed her business, and why getting older has made her more confident and outspoken. Claudia also shares the story behind her 4,200cc breast implants, how a planned increase turned into something much bigger than expected, and why she eventually embraced her new appearance. From her first nerve-racking adult film shoot with Naughty America to building her own subscription business before modern creator platforms existed, Claudia reflects on nearly 20 years in adult entertainment and the lessons she's learned about men, relationships and desire. We also get into what really happens inside swingers' clubs, why communication matters more than jealousy, and how Claudia and Robbie have kept their marriage together while continuing to explore their fantasies. For Claudia, a successful open marriage isn't about having no boundaries. It's about knowing exactly where those boundaries are.

    Erotica Divine: From Drag Queen To Trans Adult Star, Surgery, Sex & Finding Confidence

    Send us Fan Mail Why do some men desire trans women behind closed doors but refuse to love them in public? In this special Halloween episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with transgender adult entertainer, drag performer and activist Erotica Devine for a conversation about trans attraction, fetishization, dating, gender identity, cosmetic surgery, adult entertainment and the difference between being sexually desired and genuinely accepted. Erotica grew up facing bullying and rejection because of her sexuality. She found an escape through theatre and dance, eventually attending the Las Vegas Academy of the Performing Arts before studying gender and sexuality at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. But it wasn't until college that she began to understand her own identity as a transgender woman. Erotica explains how learning about queer history helped her recognize herself, why drag became an important part of her identity, and how she went from being rejected by performing arts programmes to sharing a stage with Kesha. We also discuss her transition, the cosmetic surgeries she's undergone, and why she initially struggled to feel comfortable pursuing adult entertainment before becoming more confident in her appearance. Erotica opens up about the realities of dating as a trans woman, including men who fetishize her body, promise romantic relationships and disappear after sex. She explains why sexual attraction doesn't always translate into acceptance, and why she's looking for a partner who values her beyond her appearance. She also takes us behind the scenes of her growing adult-entertainment career, including the pressure of performing for professional studios, navigating expectations around her body and learning to establish herself in an industry where appearance and sexuality are part of the business. We discuss the differences between drag and adult entertainment, the role of trans representation, the challenges of navigating identity within the LGBTQ+ community, and why Erotica refuses to make herself smaller to satisfy other people's expectations. For Erotica, being desired isn't the same as being loved. And being visible isn't always the same as being accepted.

    Adult Star Karen Fisher: Why Bigger Boobs Changed EVERYTHING About Her Career

    Send us Fan Mail Karen Fisher spent years trying to establish herself in adult entertainment. Then she made one physical change, and suddenly the industry started paying attention. In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with veteran adult performer Karen Fisher for a conversation about breast implants, the MILF industry, bisexuality, body image, aging, adult entertainment in the 2000s and what it takes to stay relevant after more than two decades. Karen began her career as an exotic dancer in Oregon before landing her first modelling job with Score Magazine. But breaking into mainstream adult films wasn't easy. Between expensive trips to Los Angeles, cancelled bookings and unpredictable pay, she struggled to make the business financially worthwhile. Everything changed after she moved to California and increased the size of her breast implants. Karen reveals how directors and companies who previously overlooked her suddenly began pursuing her, why she viewed cosmetic surgery as a business decision, and how her image evolved from a young performer into one of the industry's recognizable mature stars. We also discuss her early experiences with bisexuality, how adult entertainment helped her become more comfortable with her sexuality, and the boundaries she's maintained throughout her career. Karen takes us behind the scenes of the adult industry before creator platforms, including inappropriate behaviour she witnessed, long shooting days, and the changes she's seen in professionalism and performer protections. She also explains why fans now value personal interaction as much as adult content, how she handles criticism about her age and appearance, and why having a life outside the industry has helped her maintain her career. After more than 20 years, Karen is still adapting, building her own business and considering a return to more studio productions. We talk about what keeps her going, why she no longer lets strangers define her worth, and the lessons she wishes newer performers understood before entering the industry.

    Tyler Faith: Why I WALKED AWAY From Adult Entertainment — And Why I Came Back

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when an adult star walks away from the industry, only to realize she's not finished? In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with veteran adult performer Tyler Faith for a conversation about the golden age of adult entertainment, Jill Kelly Productions, contract stars, relationships, consent, career burnout and making a comeback on her own terms. Raised in a strict Italian household in Boston, Tyler was determined to live differently. She began exotic dancing at 18, entered adult films through Pleasure Productions and eventually stepped away from the industry for a relationship that left her feeling suppressed. Everything changed when Jill Kelly offered her a contract. Tyler takes us inside the era when adult performers signed exclusive studio deals, appeared in magazines, travelled for feature dancing and starred in elaborate productions with scripts, storylines and creative control. She explains how Jill Kelly became both her mentor and lifelong friend, and the most important lesson she taught her: you can always say no. We discuss the realities of working in adult entertainment before VIP Channels, how much freedom contract performers actually had, and why Tyler believes today's newcomers shouldn't feel pressured to do everything to become successful. Tyler also opens up about launching her own production company, navigating relationships that became intertwined with business, and the burnout that eventually led her to leave Los Angeles and return to Boston. After years away, she made her comeback. Now, Tyler explains why she prefers controlling her own content, choosing her collaborators and working on her own schedule rather than returning to the demanding studio system she once knew. We also talk about the difference between Tyler Faith the performer and the woman she is away from the cameras, the changing business of adult entertainment, and why knowing your worth matters more than any paycheck.

    Becoming Blake Lovely: Transitioning, Adult Entertainment & Making Music & Refusing To Be Controlled

    Send us Fan Mail Blake Lovely spent years trying to make it in music while hiding a part of herself she had understood since childhood. Eventually, she reached a point where she couldn't do it anymore. In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with musician, adult performer and director Blake Lovely for a conversation about transitioning, the music industry, adult entertainment, identity, rejection, creativity and building a career on your own terms. Before entering adult entertainment, Blake moved to Los Angeles to pursue music. She recorded albums, toured with her band Animal Sun and eventually earned recognition for her work. But behind the music was a much more personal story. Blake opens up about writing "Girl in Blue" about her desire to transition, why meeting transgender fans after shows affected her so deeply and the moment she decided that living authentically mattered more than protecting the career she had built. Blake discusses the reaction from people around her, the challenges she says she experienced in the music industry and why adult entertainment eventually became a place where she found something she hadn't expected: community. Some of the transgender performers Blake once watched and admired eventually became her friends, mentors and co-stars. Within a few years, she went from performing music on an awards stage as the only transgender person in the room to returning to that same venue to accept an award for her work in adult entertainment surrounded by people she felt understood her. But Blake didn't want to remain only in front of the camera. She opens up about moving into directing, creating Once Upon a TS Summer and her goal of bringing cinematic storytelling back to adult films at a time when much of the industry has shifted toward creator-driven content. We also discuss her latest project, Nobody Walks In Clean, why she assembled a cast of prominent transgender performers and her ambition to push transgender adult entertainment further into mainstream storytelling. Blake also talks about learning to stop chasing perfection, navigating body image during transition, rediscovering music and refusing to let one label define who she is. For Blake, being a musician, transgender woman, performer, director and artist aren't competing identities. They're different parts of the same person.

    Lauren Strong & Krystyna Lauren Teach You How To Be Sexy On Command | Sexxy: The Show Vegas Dancers

    Send us Fan Mail What does it actually take to be sexy on command? Behind the costumes, choreography and confidence of a Las Vegas showgirl are years of auditions, rejection, competition, body pressure and learning how to walk onto a stage and perform even when you don't feel your best. In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with professional dancers Lauren Strong and Krystyna Lauren from Las Vegas' Sexxy The Show for a conversation about professional dance, burlesque, bodybuilding, body dysmorphia, confidence, rejection and what really happens behind the scenes when being sexy becomes part of your job. Long before becoming Vegas showgirls, Lauren and Krystyna were already accustomed to high-performance environments. Lauren spent years in professional dance and cheer, performing across the NFL, NBA and NLL worlds while experiencing firsthand how competitive auditions can be. She opens up about making an NFL team, being cut the following season and learning how quickly your identity can become attached to the career you've worked so hard to build. Krystyna spent years auditioning for professional dance opportunities while also building a career in competitive bodybuilding, fitness and coaching. Together, they open up about something both worlds taught them: when your body becomes part of your profession, it can become very difficult to stop evaluating it. Krystyna discusses struggling with body dysmorphia, analyzing her body even when she didn't need to and eventually stepping away from bodybuilding competition to figure out whether she still wanted that life. Lauren reveals that she experienced body pressure from both sides. While bodybuilding rewarded one physique, professional cheer told her her upper body had become too muscular and needed to look more feminine. Eventually, both women found themselves entering a very different world: burlesque. And something unexpected happened. Performing in Sexxy The Show didn't make them more critical of their bodies. It began helping them become more accepting of themselves. We also talk about rejection, perfectionism, burnout, aging as a professional performer, female friendship, competition and why learning to separate your identity from your achievements may be one of the hardest lessons for a high performer to learn.

    Ava Devine Goes To Pole School With Claudia Renée | She Talks Confidence, Sensuality & Her Journey

    Send us Fan Mail Pole dancing has spent decades being dismissed because of its connection to strip clubs and erotica. But what happens when women stop seeing sensuality as something they perform for somebody else, and start discovering it for themselves? In this episode of Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with international pole dancer, instructor, and Team Basework founder Claudia Renee to talk about pole dancing, confidence, sensuality, strength, body image, sexual independence, and what really happens when women discover what their bodies are capable of. What started as a birthday gift eventually became a career that has taken Claudia around the world, teaching thousands of women from different backgrounds and ultimately building Team Basework, her virtual pole dancing community with instructors from around the world. But Claudia's approach to pole goes far beyond learning tricks. She explains why pole dancing can transform the way women see themselves, how physical strength can translate into emotional confidence and how she has watched women begin asking for what they want after discovering a different side of themselves through movement. We also talk about something Claudia refuses to separate from the conversation: where pole dancing comes from. Pole has increasingly entered the worlds of fitness, competitive sport and mainstream entertainment, but Claudia believes respecting the art also means respecting its relationship with erotic dancers and spicy workers. She takes us behind the scenes of training Constance Wu for Hustlers, the controversy she witnessed surrounding the production and why she believes pole dancers, midnight ballerinas, and spicy workers should be supporting each other rather than fighting over who is allowed to participate in the art form.
