When the stewardess brought me off the plane in a wheelchair, I
lowered my head. I was too scared to even look at my father. I didn't
want to see the disappointment and horror on his face. All that hate I
had accumulated for him over the years, all the resentment against him
for not understanding what I was going through, just released with the
tears.
"So, where are your parents?" the stewardess asked me after a few minutes. "I can't wait here with you much longer."
I looked up and wiped my eyes. My father was standing ten feet away. He didn't even recognize me.
In the underbelly of Las Vegas, a cesspool of warring biker gangs and
seedy strip clubs transformed the gawky, brace-faced Jenna Massoli into
the bombshell Jenna Jameson. Today, Jenna Jameson is the biggest star
in the history of adult movies, consistently ranked as one of the most
beautiful women alive. But behind the glamour and the meteoric rise to
fame was a path paved with tragedy and heartbreak. As a teenager drawn
into a chaotic world ruled by rape, abuse, and murder, Jenna plunged
into a downward spiral of addiction, even as she became one of the most
photographed women in adult magazines.
Determined to overcome this past, Jenna rebounded in the adult-film
business, where she encountered sadistic directors, experienced lovers
of both sexes, amorous celebrities (from Howard Stern to Marilyn Manson
to Tommy Lee), bitter rival starlets, and finally, glory, as she went on
to become the biggest porn star the world has ever seen. But her
struggle for happiness did not end when the accolades began. For years
she wrestled with her resentment at her estranged father, the loneliness
of growing up from the age of two without a mother, and her enduring
childhood desire to find a man who could give her the security and love
she never had.
Her unforgettable memoir is many things at once: a shocking sexual
history, an insider's guide to the secret workings of the billion-dollar
adult-film industry, and a gripping thriller that probes deep into
Jenna's dark past. An unparalleled exploration of sexual freedom, How to
Make Love Like a Porn Star ventures far beyond the flesh, into the
heart-shredding tragedies and adrenaline-pumping triumphs of a woman who
has already lived a hundred lifetimes. Always witty and humorous even
as she faces the demons of her past, Jenna offers hilarious anecdotes
about one of the most controversial businesses in history, and shares
outrageous advice, including her ten commandments of dating and sex, how
to become a "suitcase pimp," and how to make it in the business as a
female (or a male).
Add to this never-before-seen photographs from Jenna's private
collection and others taken exclusively for this book, and the result is
certain to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.
