Interview with Monica Mayhem

By Cindi Loftus, courtesy of Xcitement Magazine

From Queensland to Porn star! Monica Mayhem embodies that hard-hitting f-ck-ability we all like to see in our X-rated movies. She’s appeared in over 200 movies in the four years she’s been in the business. Monica is also working on her singing career. Her music has been played on the radio across the country.

Xcitement: How did you get from Australia to here?
Monica: I left Australia when I was 21 and traveled in Europe. I was working in the financial market, like futures and foreign exchange trading, for six years and I really, really hated that life. So I started dancing at the Spearmint Rhino in London. I met one of the owners and we got drunk and he flew me back to America with him that night. And I’ve never looked back from there. That was in December 2000.
X: How did you go from dancing to porn star?
M: I kinda got thrown into it by an agent. But the money was so good. I said yeah!
X: What is the difference between the sex industry in Australia and it here?
M: I really have no idea because I wasn’t involved in it there at all.
X: What is the weirdest thing that you found about the United States?
M: That everyone wants deep-fried everything here. They deep fry cheese!
X: You didn’t have that back home huh?
M: No. And the restaurant meals are like three times the size over here.
X: That’s why we Americans are all fat. You don’t see a lot of fat Australians.
M: (laughs) I’m not saying that, you are!
X: I’ve read that there is a Monica Mayhem blow up doll that looks just like you.
M: I do have a blow up doll that does NOT look just like me! The face is distorted a little. It’s pretty funny.
X: Does it feel strange to have a blow up doll of you?
M: It is kind of strange and also funny at the same time.
X: You should have a couple of them laying around your house. Sitting on the couch.
M: I joke about driving around with it on the passenger seat. Going in the car pool lane. Getting pulled over by a cop.
X: So you signed with Cherry Boxxx pictures?
M: Yes it’s a non-exclusive twelve picture deal.
X: How do you like working for Cherry Box Pictures? Can you tell us a little bit about the movies that you have made for them?
M: Cherry Boxxx is great, Rick Davis, my director is super cool, shoots quick, and the movies I have made for them so far have been easy, and I've been able to have a say in what actually goes on in the storyline.
X: Do you have some of their movies out at the stores right now?
M: Yes. I have a few main features that are done. And I’ve also shot a few that are just coming out.
X: What stands out as the your all time favorite movie that you have made?
M: My all time fav movie, I guess would have to be Sweet Sounds by Adam and Eve, that was my first time in a recording studio, singing, and singing on stage in front of a huge crowd.
X: How many movies have you done all together?
M: Since I’ve been here, over two hundred.
X: What is your favorite thing about being an adult star?
M: Being able to work when I want, with whom I want, charge how much I want. It’s just such a laid back lifestyle.
X: Do you like feature dancing?
M: Yes it’s fun. You get to go to all different cities all the time and meet new people. Meeting all the fans. It’s cool.
X: What is the best sex scene you’ve have ever done?
M: Oh, that’s way too hard! There have been so many I just couldn’t pick one.
X: You’ve got a beautiful body. Is everything natural?
M: (laughs) Used to be.
X: Is there a lot of pressure to get a boob job if you are in the industry?
M: No. That had nothing to do with the business what so ever. That was my choice and the fact that I was able afford to do it. That is why I did it.
X: If people want to see more pictures of you where should they go?
M: My website is MonicaMayhemXXX.com.
X: There are a lot of sites that people put up with your name on them. Where do they get the pictures of you? Do they steal them?
M: They steal them. And that can cost them ten thousand an image. If someone is trying to charge for it and say that it is official then that is wrong. If someone starts a free fan site that is fine.
X: How often do you do scenes?
M: Like one to three scenes a month.
X: So say you are having sex on camera three times a month. How many times are you having sex in your personal life?
M: Well I would be if I was dating.
X: I just wonder if you have more sex then “normal” people.
M: Uhm. No. If I was working every day, like I used to maybe. But I have cut down a lot. I don’t do that unless I am with someone, dating someone. I don’t sleep around.
X: What kind of guy would you be looking for?
M: Much older, at least over thirty-five, a good sense of humor, successful. I don’t want to be supporting anyone. Intelligent.
X: What would be your favorite sex act?
M: It’s hard to say right now… (phone static).. restaurant.
X: So you like having sex in a restaurant?
M: No, I said I can’t say right now because I am IN a restaurant! (laughs)
X: Ahhh. What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you while filming a movie?
M: I don’t know. A lot of funny stuff happens to me. I generally get in a lot of trouble. I've had many funny times while filming, for example the director might make some kind of joke to the male performer in the middle of sex, and we just crack up for like 10mins. And can't stop laughing.
X: Do you have an unfulfilled fantasy?
M: No. I have pretty much done everything now.
X: What are you looking forward to?
M: Hopefully a successful music career.
X: Really? You are a singer?
M: Yes. I’ve been working on that right now, while I am traveling all over the country.
X: What kind of music do you do?
M: It’s rock. Kind of like Rap/rock.
X: Do you have anything out yet?
M: No not yet.
X: You should put a clip on your site so your fans can go listen to it.
M: I’m actually going to do that. I just have to get it copyrighted.
X: I’d like to hear you sing.
M: Well I do a lot of radio station interviews when I travel, so I have had it played on the radio.
X: That must be fun. I think one of the reasons you stand out is your makeup. Did you come up with the look your self?
M: Yes. I like doing makeup. I’m a creative type in general. I design my own costumes.
X: While I was doing research on you for this interview, the one thing I noticed was that there was no controversy. I couldn’t find anything bad said about you.
M: There are some things said by catty girls who spread rumors and stuff.
X: What are some of the rumors that you have heard about yourself?
M: Uhm. I hear stuff like I got deported. One website said I was an escort and you could pay sixteen grand to have me for the night. I said to myself, really!
X: You should have called and booked yourself!
M: Yeah, I know. That would be funny.
X: What is your favorite type of sex?
M: My favorite type of sex is one on one, boy or girl
X: Who would you most like to have sex with?
M: Girls would be a toss up between Britney Spears and Gwen Stephani. Guys- Bruce Willis!
X: He fits your qualifications. He’s older, successful and intelligent. And he has a twenty-something year old girlfriend.
M: Well I am twenty-six.
X: Does size matter?
M: Only if it is too big. Average is perfect.
X: Do you want to make a comment about the HIV outbreak?
M: It’s a tragedy. I want to send my regards out to all the people affected by it. I hope everything works out for them.
X: When this happened, did it make you think twice about what you do for a living?
M: Yeah it did. I found out that a friend of mine had it. It is really sad.
X: Luckily, with the medications now, you can live a normal life.
M: Yes if you stay fit and healthy you can fight it.
X: What is the wildest sex you ever had?
M: Wildest sex I've ever had, well, that's tough, but I just love it when it's spontaneous, and you just have to have it right then and there, wherever that may be!
X: What are some of the nice things that fans have done for you?
M: I've been given birthday/valentines gifts, flowers at signings, stuff like that.
X: Do you have a message for your fans?
M: Yes. Thank you for supporting me. I love you all and keep watching because there is much more to come!
