Life After Porn

Life After Porn - Ginger LynnI had promised myself when I began performing in xxx-rated movies in late 1983 that I would never do anything I didn’t feel good about or that made me uncomfortable. It was important to me that I enjoyed, even loved, what I was doing in every single scene and movie. Up until one day late in 1985 I had remained true to myself and my love of porn.

On this particular morning I woke up, and rather than thinking to myself, “Yes! Today I’m going to ‘do it’ with so and so,” for the the first time ever in my adult career I thought to myself, “I just don’t want to suck cock today.” This was new for me, and I listened to what my head was telling me.

I had made a commitment, so I showed up to the set as scheduled and did my “thing.” I did it well, but my heart and my clit were just not into it. I was under contract for video at the time with Vivid, but still had my options open for film work. I had made 67 films, including video up to this point and a handful of 8 millimeter loops.

After completing my work for the day, I walked into the owner of Vivid’s office and told him I was done. If I didn’t have the desire to want to perform on film, I would not have the passion in my scenes. I have always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever it was I was doing.

Steven said he understood completely and asked if I would be up for finishing the last two films under my contract. My word has always been important to me, so I said, “Yes.” I agreed to do the last two films I was obligated to under my contract.

  1. There are very few women who have worked in the x-rated industry that could compete looks-wise with hollywood starlets. Without a doubt Ginger could put even the very best of them to shame.
    If there was ever a need for a visual image of the perfect blonde girl-next door… Ginger is it. Quite literally, this woman is a walking talking male fantasy. The kind of woman that could make you shiver if she so much as smiled at you.
    An American Goddess, without equal, and I’ve been a fan and will be a fan forever. <3

    • Awww, my dear, sweet, beautiful lady… what an honour to have had a reply from you. But you know, it really is me that should be thanking you. You have ‘made my day’ on many occasions (and I had the sticky sheets to prove it). LOL
      I can remember way back when, and this might date me but so be it, when there was a rumour floating around (and I admit it might just have been a publicity thing) that you were going to marry Amber Lynn. And I remember thinking to myself… oh hell ya, that could definitely work! LOL
      It was just one of the very many ways you gave us to love you. And for all of the ways you gave to me, I thank you. It’s been my pleasure to watch you go from a cute and spunky blonde, to an eloquent and beautiful woman. So thank you.

  2. You and your hot sexy friends made porn hot sexy and classy even though back then it was taboo.now everyone is a porn star .but they will never match you.no way you are the hottest ever!

    • Well I don’t know about the hottest ever, but thank you! It was a different business back then. We made real movies.

  3. Sounds like you made a wise choice. As much as we would have loved seeing more :Ginger movies,” if your heart wouldn’t have been in them we wouldn’t have seen the Ginger we know and love. Better to remember you at your best that watch some lifeless scenes. I think you gave us more than enough to last a lifetime.
