Nautica Thorn was one of those special girls who was a pornstar from her very first scene. It doesn’t happen often but with her it was instant. There are a million reasons why she was able to take the industry by storm from her exotic looks, to her innocent personality, to her natural sensuality, and killer performances so it’s hard to pick just one reason to love Nautica Thorn. Another thing that made Nautica stand out was her ability to play so many different ethnicities. If she was playing an Asian girl you thought she was a hot Asian girl. If she was playing a Latina, you thought she was a hot Latina. There are some very exotic pornstars that can’t pull that off the way Ms. Thorn did. Mens Mag Daily was able to sit down with the legendary starlet to discuss how she got into the business, her slow and steady pace towards hardcore, and her predictions for this upcoming football season.
Mens Mag Daily: So Nautica, what was it like growing up in Hawaii?
Nautica Thorn: When you’re that young and growing up in Hawaii, you tend to take the beauty and lifestyle for granted. It’s when you move away you realize that you left such an amazing place. There’s nothing like warm beaches, local food, and sunny days all year round.
Mens Mag Daily: Was it a big change moving from Hawaii to Los Angeles?
Nautica Thorn: In a way yes, but I wanted the change. Living on an island is great but I needed to live someplace bigger, some place where I can’t drive around the island in an hour and a half. (Laughs)
Mens Mag Daily: You actually went from stripping, to nude modeling, to doing scenes. It was kind of a progression. Do you think progressing slowly into adult movies was beneficial for your career?
Nautica Thorn: I do. It’s like a relationship, why give the guy anal on the first day? Well for your readers they are probably saying why not? (Laughs) Yes I do think progressing slowly in the industry is key. There’s so many new faces coming in, you have to find your niche, make your fans want more, and brand yourself.
Mens Mag Daily: At what point in your life did you decide that you wanted to work in the adult industry and why?
Nautica Thorn: After stripping for a while, I just thought, “Oh why not”? I was always a sexually adventurous person so this was not really shocking for me.
Mens Mag Daily: You’re a veteran in the industry now, what do you attribute you longevity to? Many girls are gone in the blink of an eye.
Nautica Thorn: I think when I was shooting there weren’t many mixed Asians. I mean I would be booked for an Asian movie one week and then the next a Latin one. I think I was very diverse in my looks. Also I enjoyed my job and it came across in my scenes. I loved teasing my fans. I love eye contact.
Mens Mag Daily: You seem to really enjoy the adult industry but you once said you don’t like bringing other girls into the industry because of all of the negatives. What would you say are all the negatives and have you had any particularly negative experiences in your career?
Nautica Thorn: You are a product so everyone is trying to get a piece of you and what you can bring in for them. I was a very trusting person, too trusting sometimes, so that was my downfall. I just thought that no one can bring a girl in. She has to want to do it. After girls would start working is when I would help them where I could. I never wanted to see girls get screwed by the politics of this industry.
Mens Mag Daily: There are some pornstars that just seem to connect with the fans of adult movies. They seem to have an impact as soon as they enter the business. You’re one of those people. What do you attribute that to?
Nautica Thorn: I think it’s because I’m humble. At the end of the day I am a girl that enjoys sucking dick for a living. I don’t try to act as if I’m anything else or that I’m better than anyone. I am no rock star or Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The time and attention I give my fans is genuine. My fans and I are taking this journey together and I see them as friends, my “Thorn Army”.
Mens Mag Daily: When you first got into porn was it a scary experience or did stripping and nude modeling kind of prepare you for it?
Nautica Thorn: I was a little nervous, but then again I didn’t do much hardcore in the beginning. I guess that was the way to go for me. Just ease into it. (Laughs) I said “ease into it”.
Mens Mag Daily: When you first got into the business you did a ton of scenes, was that hard for you?
Nautica Thorn: It was and it wasn’t. I had nothing to compare it to as far as the industry. I learned along the way to pace myself and my body thanked me for it.
Mens Mag Daily: You’ve been in the industry for some years now, have you seen a lot of changes from when you first started?
Nautica Thorn: Yes, I see irresponsible people not taking other people’s lives and theirs into account. After I left and shot my last scene, there were 2 industry shut downs a short time after, 2 too many. I think back when I was actively shooting, we were a more closed community. I would be scared to work in the industry now.
Mens Mag Daily: I’m curious; you’re obviously very beautiful and exotic. What nationality do people often think you are?
Nautica Thorn: I get Filipino a lot. I also get Japanese, Puerto Rican, and Hawaiian.
Mens Mag Daily: You’re as gorgeous as you were the first day you entered porn and you don’t seem to age. How do you stay so beautiful?
Nautica Thorn: First off, thank you. I think it has to do with being Japanese. We don’t really age and an active sex life helps too. It keeps you young.
Mens Mag Daily: I’m sure I’m not the only guy who’s wondering this but what is your type of guy in real life?
Nautica Thorn: I don’t really have a type. I’ve dated all types of men from all different races. The one thing that always gets me is a guy that can make me laugh. But I’m pretty sure that’s every girl.
Mens Mag Daily: Is your personal sex life much different from your on screen sex life?
Nautica Thorn: Yes and no. I am very submissive in bed in my personal life which is not much different in my scenes. I would say the only big difference is I’m a biter and kisser. I love nibbling on your lips or arms while a man is on me.
Mens Mag Daily: Do you also date women in your personal life or is that just for the camera. If so, what type of women do you like?
Nautica Thorn: I would never date a woman but I would have fun with them. I am a dick whore. I could never go straight pussy.
Mens Mag Daily: A lot of successful porn stars such as yourself often do other things outside of the industry in terms of business. Is there anything you want to get involved in outside of porn?
Nautica Thorn: I’ve been a photographer for quite some time now. Working with some amazing photographers in the industry, you pick up tricks of the trade. I love shooting civilian girls and giving them the beauty treatment. I don’t associate my porn with my work. Those two stay separate.
Mens Mag Daily: I know you’re very into fantasy football. When did you get into football and do you have any predictions for the upcoming season?
Nautica Thorn: I have always loved sports. I love watching and playing football and golf. Being from Hawaii, I got to pick a team. At first I was a Raiders fan, of course and then I found my man, Mr. Peyton Manning. I was a Colts fan for years but had to follow him to the Broncos. My prediction for the upcoming season is it’s going to be a repeat of last year.
Mens Mag Daily: Would you say you’re the type of person who really likes to get away from work when you’re done filming and if so what are some things you like to do in your downtime?
Nautica Thorn: Oh yes. I needed my down time to get back to real me and put Nautica away. You can get caught up in the lifestyle, so my downtime was important. I wasn’t one to party so staying at home or catching a movie with friends was my thing. I also had a mini farm of dogs so that kept me occupied. Going home at least once a year helped as well.
