What Is Life Like As A Pornstar? - Sienna Day - #101

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Oh, hello, people of Podcast Land. Welcome back to Modern Wisdom. My guest today is Sienna Day, and Johnny and Youssef, but mostly Sienna. Sienna is an adult actress from the UK, but works in America and Europe. She's a fan favorite, both here and abroad, and I know her. So it was just a matter of time before I got her and sat her down on a couch and asked her what life is like as a porn star. So yeah, expect to learn everything you ever wanted to know. And probably one or two things that you might not have anticipated knowing either. I was incredibly impressed by Sienna. I thought that she's planned her career out in a very well-structured and bureaucratic way. I think obviously looking from the outside in the porn industry just looks like people shagging. And it is, obviously that's a big part of it. But there's this whole other side to it, the way that actors are now monetizing themselves, the way that she's protecting a career in different ways and spreading her sources of income. I thought it was really, really insightful and surprising in some ways that I wasn't expected to be surprised in. It was surprisingly surprising. Anyway, here is a porn star.
I am joined by Jonny and Yusef from Propane Fitness and Sienna Day, all the way from the adult rated internet. Welcome to the show.

**Sienna Day** (1:45)
Thanks for having me.

**Chris Williamson** (1:46)
It's a pleasure to have you on. We have wanted to discuss what life is like in the porn industry for about, what, 31 years, and then we're coming for everyone else. And we've got hold of you. We finally got you, sat you down on a couch, different sort of couch than the one that you're used to.

**Sienna Day** (2:04)
No casting couch in? Or is it one?

**Chris Williamson** (2:06)
This could be the most famous couch that you've ever been sat on. Probably not, though. You changed it there.

**Sienna Day** (2:11)
Public agent was quite a popular number.

**Chris Williamson** (2:13)
Yeah. This also...

**Johnny** (2:14)
It looks like the public agent couch, actually.

**Chris Williamson** (2:16)
Have you seen it? I'm just going to warn you now, this is not waterproof. So can we... Or stain proof.

**Johnny** (2:22)
Has it got any spunk stains already on it?

**Chris Williamson** (2:24)
Probably. Yeah. So that's kind of what you're going to be in for today. We're going to just put a quick parental advisory on this.

**Johnny** (2:33)
Might be a bit late, I reckon, for that.

**Chris Williamson** (2:34)
Might be some adult themes. But yeah, we wanted to just ask you some questions. Jonny, you've crowdsourced some from friends.

**Johnny** (2:42)
Friends?

**Chris Williamson** (2:42)
Are you inundated?

**Youssef** (2:43)
I fucking dare to hot potato me.

**Chris Williamson** (2:45)
I'm not going to hot potato you. So first question that I want to ask, and it's the most basic question. Stop it. First question that everyone asks, how do you get into porn?

**Sienna Day** (2:57)
Oh, that's the most boring question I've ever heard.

**Chris Williamson** (2:59)
How the fuck do you get into porn? Everyone else sexes, but not everyone does porn.

**Youssef** (3:01)
Oh, at the beginning, yeah.

**Sienna Day** (3:02)
Right, at the beginning. You know what the problem was? I was very, very horny all the time.

**Johnny** (3:08)
I didn't just want to be a slag.

**Sienna Day** (3:10)
So I was thinking, right, I can't be doing that. There must be a way I can make use of this, wanting to fuck everyone. And I'd done a bit of webcam and stuff before. And then, what about, the guy I was seeing at the time was like, have you ever thought about porn? And I was like-

**Chris Williamson** (3:23)
How old were you?

**Sienna Day** (3:24)
21 And so I thought, do you know what I thought? I didn't actually used to watch much porn except for this lesbian porn, with this strap on these tattooed girls. So I didn't really know too much about the industry. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to do a little bit of research on it. And then I did some and I thought, yeah, I'm going to get into it. Actually, it can't be that hard.

**Johnny** (3:41)
It fucking is.

**Sienna Day** (3:42)
It's not as easy as you think.

**Chris Williamson** (3:44)
Would you need to be licensed? And like, is there a training course, MBQ level two?

**Sienna Day** (3:48)
No, but I think I could do a few teaching lessons.

**Chris Williamson** (3:51)
Okay, cool. So if there are, there we go, straight off the bat. Anyone who wants to get into porn, could you do an online course?
