For Natasha Nice, Adult is a Long-Term Career
Posted On 26 Jan 2022
Some people get into adult entertainment on a whim – and get out just as quickly. But not award-winning, big-busted star Natasha Nice. Born of French and Cuban parents, she entered the business shortly after turning 18 in 2006 and – besides taking a break to study computer science at university – has been with it ever since.
“I had just graduated from high school and moved out of my parent’s place and was very excited to be naked and have a ton of sex, especially as a job,” Natasha tells YNOT. “After doing my first solo scene for Matt’s Models, I dropped out of Santa Monica College and dove in full time. I started working every day, getting all the DVDs, magazine covers, and several nominations, so it felt awesome to know I’d made the right move.”
“My first shoot was with the ever-amazing John Strong, who manhandled the shit out of me and really introduced me to sex on a whole other level than my then 18-year-old self had ever known,” she adds. “He left me out of breath in all the best ways. It was a good old- fashioned gonzo scene for Red Light District.”
Since then, Natasha has made her name in both girl/girl and boy/girl porn. She has worked for major companies such as Brazzers and Reality Kings and won the 2019 XBIZ Award for Web Star of the Year. She has also won Fleshbot Awards’ Cam Model of the Year and a Lifetime Achievement Awards from XCritic.
Then as now, Natasha is a true porn professional. She consciously selected adult as a career, rather than a stopgap to pay the bills.
“I very much chose porn as a profession because I’d always felt that society, in general, frowns upon any women who are ‘too much’ in any way,” she explains. “One of my personality traits is that I love to get naked with people right away and feel physically close with them. Unfortunately, many people think this is bad! It’s just how I connect. So, porn felt (and still feels like) a huge breath of fresh air in that my slutty ways aren’t looked down upon but appreciated.”
Gifted with natural beauty, full breasts, an intelligent mind and a compelling on-screen presence, Natasha has enjoyed a solid run in adult over the past 16 years.
“My career has progressed for the most part in an upwards trajectory,” says Natasha. “I’ve shot for almost all of the studios.”
This being said, “It took time to decide whether or not I wanted to begin shooting anal scenes,” she admits. “My sexual appetite wasn’t really there yet, so I chose to backtrack a bit before deciding if I wanted to make porn my lifelong career and make that move. So, I went back to school for awhile and then returned in 2015 after a fan convention reminded me of how big and loyal my fan base was. I guess I hadn’t noticed the impact I had made, and it felt amazing to be remembered.”
It was this fan loyalty that convinced Natasha to take the anal plunge.
“Greg Lansky gave me an exclusive deal for my first anal and DP for Tushy the first week of my return,” she says. “He had always asked me to do anal before I left. I loved the idea of working closely with a fellow Frenchy! I didn’t even know yet at that time what he had become, but I knew it would turn out great nonetheless.”
Matters progressed from there. “I got my first showcase since my return with Elegant Angel in Naughty Natasha,” she continues. “I did my first gangbang and ‘IR’ DP in the showcase, and it really turned me on to being filled airtight.”
“Since I was still living in San Francisco at the time, I didn’t shoot as much as I could have between 2015 and 2021,” says Natasha. “But I was still honored with Cherry Pimps’ Cherry Of The Month and MYLF.com’s MYLF of the Month.”
In recent years, Natasha has analysed and adapted to the latest trends in porn, to ensure her relevance in this changing marketplace.
“During this time, I’ve begun to focus on my own content and live camming, and developed very strong audiences along the way, which is something I’m very grateful for. I constantly feel blessed by the loyalty of my fanbase,” she says. “In my recent years, I’ve begun to shoot a lot more MILF titles for some of the biggest production companies around and was even nominated for MILF of the Year by XBIZ this year, which is something I intend to do my everything into in order to reach. It definitely won’t be easy and will require a lot of work on many fronts, but I feel it will be one of the most exciting times of my career and even my life.”
Reflecting on her 16 years in porn, Natasha likes how things are going.
“In my opinion, the industry has changed for the better,” she says. “Production quality has improved tremendously. I’ve also noticed changes in the relationship between producers and performers, which I really like. In general, I feel like there’s more respect than there used to be, for the most part.”
“Obviously social media and independent content creation are larger than life compared to 2006, which can be good or bad,” notes Natasha. “But it would be unrealistic to expect an industry to not evolve over decades, so I feel like it’s essential to stay in the loop on what’s trending. We don’t necessarily need to copy each other, but we should know where our fans’ heads and appetites are at.”
Worth knowing: Natasha prefers shooting old school porn to self-generated content.
“I know I should say that OnlyFans and camming are the ‘entrees’ and that mainstream porn is the side, because obviously that’s the most profitable way of doing it,” she confides. “But every time my agent calls, I get so excited at the prospect of growing my fan base and further declaring myself an amazing performer. So, in reality, OnlyFans and live camming fit in between my mainstream shoots.
“That being said, connecting directly with my fans is the most inspiring part of my job because they really understand me, and remind me who Natasha Nice is, if that makes sense,” Natasha adds. “I could never pick just one between mainstream porn and Indie porn. The perfectly structured schedule is an illusion. It’s a day-by-day, week-by-week profession, and I’m learning to embrace that.”
It’s been over 800 weeks since Natasha Nice entered the adult world. Her porn persona started out as a ‘just-legal teen;’ so, how is her transition into the young MILF category working out?
“It’s still a bit too soon to tell for me since 2021 was the first year I really committed myself to the role of MILF,” Natasha says. “Some of my fans love watching me play the role of Mommy, while others still prefer my old stuff. I guess that’s just how it goes. So I try to feed all of their needs as much as possible by taking on the various roles offered to me and doing a variation of stuff for my OnlyFans/live cam.”
“I think the MILF market will continue to grow along with other fauxcest themes, so I like to think the opportunities aren’t going anywhere,” she adds. “I’m actually on a MILF set right now, getting ready to shoot a BG Anal followed by a GG. Both scripts are really hot, but I’m definitely looking forward to taking my stepson’s anal virginity. Ha ha! That came out wrong!”
With 16 years’ experience under her G-string, Natasha has given much thought to the pros and cons of a career in adult, both professionally and personally.
On the upside, “there are so many pros to this job that I think many, and even most, people choose to overlook,” says Natasha. “Besides personal autonomy, free sexual expression, and financial security, the best part is knowing that the opportunities are so abundant. I’ve seen so many performers choose to add activism, mainstream media, and film or just better and better porn to their life resume. It’s our version of ‘room for growth’, I guess.”
As for the downside of a porn career? “The biggest con by far is the negative stigma perpetuated by people who think they know us, especially the religious radicals,” she says. “It all comes with the territory: When you’re a ballsy human being, the world will always be afraid of you.”
With her beauty aging like a fine wine, and the beckoning possibilities of the mature MILF (and even GILF) niches ahead of her, Natasha Nice plans to pursue her adult career for decades to come – and to keep refining her craft in the process.
“My plan is always to beat the person I was yesterday, constantly self-improving and moving forward in whichever direction speaks to my skanky soul,” Natasha says with a laugh — “at least until I’m too old to spread my legs!”
One last treat: Asked how she chose the name Natasha Nice, she replied, “Natasha was the sexiest girl in school in my high school and my agent suggested Nice because of how nice my tits are.”
