Any rabid porn fan recognizes the names of Annie Sprinkle and Sharon Mitchell, legends who are part of an adult film sorority affectionately called the “Golden Goddesses.” But not everyone knows they have Ph.D.’s, degrees attained after their film days were over.
On the other hand, would a Ph.D. let her pent up sexuality sweep over a bookish life and turn her into a budding porn sensation? Of course, and her name is Leena Sky.
I’m an educator by trade and found intellectually connecting with Leena to be invigorating. On her pornie side, she’s no kid. Leena films with a gritty energy that is a pleasure to watch. Her on screen dynamics will arouse any fan who has ever fantasied about a hot teacher.
Also, keep in mind Leena’s in her early thirties which her qualifies as a MILF. Teacher and MILF rolled into one, an adorable niche Leena is ready to fill.
Recently Leena and I had an extended conversation over dinner in Hollywood. She flies into Porn Valley from the Tampa area to expand her porn repertoire. She’s solidified her visibility in the Sunshine State through shooting for a handful of companies, Reality Kings being most notable because they gave her the initial break to propel her to stardom.
A native Philadelphian, Leena graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina with a major in psychology. “I found psychology to be something I could relate to, having gone through a lot of turmoil in my own life,” she told me.
At this juncture in her life, Leena was embroiled in change. She went to grad school after an initial education burn out, ending up in Georgia where she worked in social services. A master’s in counseling came her way, leading her to private practice where she encountered suicidal and drug addicted patients.
“I like things that are fast and changing,” Leena says, speaking of her counseling years. But through it all, she confesses, she had nagging thoughts about the sex industry. “I always had these fantasies of being in it.” Sex work in front of the camera “Was always in the back of my mind,” she adds.
Leena got married along the way, had twins, and pursued a doctorate. It was not an easy run and perseverance was the key to her success. But like so many directions we can take in our pursuit of happiness, expectations exceeded reality. “I really hoped that light bulbs would turn to magical things when I got those letters [the Ph.D.],” she sighs. But fate, with its longings that intuitively shape our decisions, had other thoughts in mind.
Another opportunity poked its sensuous head around the corner and winked, sending its lewd message in Leena’s direction.
“Around this time,” she begins, “I had learned about webcamming through an accountant who did my taxes.” Her divorce left a financial hole in her checkbook and the CPA knew she could use extra work. “He planted the seed,” Leena says, but adds she had “no idea” what she was getting into. “I never watched porn. I was sort of in the very vanilla world.”
The closest she ever got to real porn were the “nudie magazines” her schoolgirl friends would snitch and ogle. It was “really pervy” to check out the models inside, Leena explains.
Pervy may be fun, but it does not create a porn star. Leena remained uninformed about the adult business, having no idea what the webcam entailed.
Decision time was on the horizon and the fantasy was morphing into reality. The college teaching gig was downsized; Leena limited her work to online classes. Her happiness level took a quantum leap forward, but bills had to be paid. Stepping up the webcam was the answer, at least in the short run. But Leena knew full well webcam is a tenuous enterprise and wouldn’t last forever.
So a porn career that is a perfect fit for the MILF and Hot for Teacher genres was underway. But wait porn fans. Have you daydreamed about your teacher chastising you with a ruler in her hand? Leena’s into the BDSM scene, too. Maybe that’s something I’ll talk about another time.
