“Jesse Jane has always wanted to be a sex symbol."

By Jason Tanamor

When Jesse Jane worked as a manager at the popular chain Hooters, she was used to people giving her attention. After all, according to the restaurant chain, “people don’t come here for the food.” But even though Ms. Jane had the attention of the incoming patrons, she never really imagined how much notoriety she was going to get from that point forward. That’s because, currently, Jesse Jane is one of the hottest porn stars working today. “I love attention. I’ve always wanted to be a sex symbol. I love the fact that now people know me and masturbate to me,” Ms. Jane said.



The blond haired, green eyed native of Texas, who now makes her home in Los Angeles, stands barely above five feet high and weighs a little more than 100 pounds. Her small frame, however, doesn’t hinder her ability to find work on such major projects like the movie “Pirates,” her biggest movie to date. “It was well into seven figures. We shot at two locations, had an actual pirate ship, detailed sets, make-up, wardrobe, special effects and so much more,” Ms. Jane said.

Before working in film though, Jesse Jane was a model for Hawaiian Tropics, something she used to get signed with Digital Playground, a leader in marketing, branding and promotion. “I actually contacted Digital Playground, sent them pictures and then they flew me to L.A. and I signed a contract,” Ms. Jane said.

And thank goodness for that. By signing with the agency, Jesse Jane landed gigs with Maxim, People, The National Enquirer, US Weekly, In Touch, The Globe, and Star. Not to mention a stint on “The Howard Stern Show.” But with all the accolades she’s received, Jesse Jane credits her success with being herself. “I don’t care what people think of me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion,” Ms. Jane said. “If you judge people without knowing them, that just shows how shallow of a person you are. The people’s opinions who matter are all of my fans.”

All of this print work eventually landed Ms. Jane on film, playing roles in adult movies all over the country and men and women’s imaginations and bedrooms. The porn star, who has appeared in numerous films including, “Island Fever 3,” “Jesse Jane Erotique,” “Loaded,” “Beat the Devil,” and “The Story Of J,” lost her virginity to her high school sweetheart. “I was seventeen. It was your typical puppy love. It was with my boyfriend, my first love,” Ms, Jane said. “It was after prom and we romantically set up the hotel room and we made love.”



Now, fourteen men later, Jesse Jane is still going strong. And even though her industry is adult movies, Ms. Jane has little worry about the threat of diseases like AIDS and STD’s. “Of course. I’ll always worry. Everyone should. But I’m not as worried as normal people out there should be,” Ms. Jane said. “Everyone in our business is tested every 30 days so we see if anyone is carrying HIV or STD’s. Most people go out and have one night stands with strangers and they have no idea if that person is carrying an STD. They also don’t know if they are hosting a disease themselves. So, I feel more comfortable working in the business knowing my partners and I are all clean.”

Jesse Jane also doesn’t worry about what people say about her, speaking from the experiences she’s gone through in her life as an adult movie goddess. And for those thinking about going into her line of work, she offers this advice. “Make sure you know that your friends and family will eventually find out. So you have to be okay with that. Then know that you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do,” Ms. Jane said. “Some directors will try to convince you that you have to do gang bangs and stuff but you don’t. It really is a great job if you’re smart with your decisions.”

Ms. Jane added this for women specifically. “It’s okay to express yourselves sexually. Don’t be embarrassed to be empowered.” For Jesse Jane, she only plans to be on camera a little while longer. “A few more years on film and then I would like to make my own movies, behind the camera,” Ms. Jane said.
