Tera Patrick is the only porn star to ever cross over into mainstream?

Wow, simply amazing. I like Tera Patrick but damn is she way off on this. Tera is interviewed in this month’s Black Book magazine and wants us to believe that mainly because she was on the cover of FHM maagazine, that it makes her the only porn star ever to cross over into the mainstream. She says she’s the only porn star with a mainstream presence, has a video game, and has been on the Carson Daly show. That yes Jenna Jameson was the face of porn but Jenna had more of the porn look while Tera isn’t fake looking with bleached blonde hair with silicon and fake lips. Are you kidding me? Tera’s implants are huge and she has a tattoo arm sleave! I know Tera sued ClubJenna at one time for unpaid royalties before she started her own company Teravision but does Tera actually belive what she’s saying or is it just her hatred for Jenna that’s speaking?

Tera says Jenna is much older than she is. Really? According to IMDB Jenna is only two years older. I wouldn’t put her in the grandma category just yet Tera. She says she has done more legitimate mainstream things than Jenna has and there is really no other porn star that’s crossed into mainstream that Tera can think of.

Tera seems to have memory loss because how can she honestly say that with a straight face and not mention Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn Allen? Traci Lords especially. Traci has been mainstream for 22 years with a successful acting career in feature films, television, won an acting award for best actress for her movie “Chump Change”, was a Guess Jeans girl, had a number one techno album, and has been on more talk shows like Oprah Winfrey, Larry King, to Jay Leno unlike Tera boasting she was on Carson Daly’s late night show.

Tera goes on to say she has never been an escort and has no interest in it. She makes money using her brain. But the business is open with many opportunities and encourages women to do what they want.

Sex with fellow porn stars, Tera says Savanna Samson gives the best oral sex. While her dream girl that she’s never been with and would do anything to be with is Belladonna.

Full interview after the jump.

Tell me about your involvement in Saint’s Row 2.

Saint’s Row 2 is s a very exciting project. It’s really cool because not only am I working on a video game, but I have a teenage brother, so I’m like a hero to him. It’s really exciting because it’s my demographic: young boys, twenty year old boys, thirty year old boys. Video games are like porn movies. Everybody loves them and everybody plays them.

You’ve managed to transcend porn and have somewhat of a mainstream presence, which is very rare for porn stars. Jenna Jameson is another example.

I’m the only one with a mainstream presence. Jenna’s never been on the cover of FHM. There’s a lot more things I’ve done than Jenna. I wouldn’t say she has a mainstream presence, I would say that she is the number one face of porn. She has more of a porn look. And Jenna’s a lot older than me and she’s been in the business a lot longer than me. She was the first to go mainstream with Howard Stern, but I’ve done more legitimate mainstream things than she has. There’s really no other porn star that’s crossed into mainstream that I can think of. I’m the only girl that’s been on FHM, I have a video game, I’ve been on the Carson Daly show, I’ve done a lot of stuff. I’m not trying to toot my own horn, I’m not saying I’m definitely out of porn or turning my back on porn, I would never do that. But I’m pretty much the girl that makes porn okay.

Why have you achieved this mainstream recognition?

Aside from the fact that I have a good work ethic, good attitude, I can act, and I’m intelligent, I don’t look like a porn star. I’m not bleached blonde with silicon and fake lips. I have a good look. I look like a fashion model. There’s nothing wrong with looking like a porn star, but when women see me, it’s okay for their husbands to look at me. I’m not fake looking.

Has porn changed a lot since you started in 1999?

The presence was definitely different. There was a lot less girls in the industry. It used to be owned by old, bald, hairy Jewish guys. Now I’m the one who is capitalizing on my look. Now it’s about empowerment over exploitation. It’s about the performers taking over, the girls making the money for the first time. There’s a lot of women that devoted a lot of their lives to working in the industry for ten, fifteen, or twenty years and they don’t have anything.

Are you and Jenna Jameson friends? I know you were involved in a legal snafu.

No. I was never affiliated with her. Jenna and I have never worked together. There was a brief moment where I did some business with Club Jenna, but that is no longer. I am completely in charge of my entire empire. I wish Jenna the best.

Did you have some kind of falling out?

No, we’ve never had a falling out! We’ve only met a few times, and she’s no longer in the business. We just don’t speak and I only wish her the best.

A lot of porn stars are high-priced escorts on the side. Have you ever come across that?

It’s never come across for me personally. I have never done it, I have no interest in it. I make money using my brain. I say more power to any girl who does whatever she wants to do. The business is open with many opportunities and I say, if you’re a woman, do whatever you can. More power to you.

When you first met your husband, he wasn’t in the porn industry. Was it tough to convince him to join the business?

No way! Please, every guy wants to be a porn star.

And you both perform with other actors. Is it tough having that kind of open relationship?

Our relationship isn’t open. It’s not a typical marriage, but we’re not swingers. We don’t sleep with people outside of the business. We trust each other. We don’t call each other ten times a day to see what each other’s doing. We call each other ten times a day to say, I love you, come home and fuck me now.

You once said you’d be done with porn in two years. Is that true?

When I said that I was basing it on some ideal. But if you would have told me, I’m gonna own a big company, make beautiful movies, and make millions of dollars, I would have been like, yeah right. I just want to get laid today. I got laid that day, I’m still getting laid today, and I have millions of dollars. It’s a good feeling.

So which of your fellow female pornstars gives the best oral sex?

Savannah. Oh my god, Savannah is amazing. I’ll always remember the first time I ever did girl on girl with her. You know who has the most amazing eyes when she looks at you and fucks you? Felicia. She is so gorgeous. It’s just like, will you marry me? My dream girl that I’ve never been with, that I would do anything to be with, is Belladonna.

Do you think that with the proliferation of porn online, it’s lost some of its mystique?

The good thing about our industry is there are so many niches. We could sit here and say the value of porn is going down, there’s a lot of porn that isn’t really my style, or the type of porn I would shoot today, back when I was shooting by myself. Yeah I shot gonzo, and I shot low-end stuff, do I regret it? No. It made my career. But it’s not something I would do today and I feel like there’s a niche for everyone. If they’re making money, good for them.
