DEBI DIAMOND — “I had done everything with everybody, I was a true groupie porn slut!”

Editor’s Note: This is part one of a two part interview with Debbi Diamond. Part two will be posted next week.

WHACK! Debi Diamond! Holy crap are we excited to talk to you! You are one of porn’s original hardcore girls, and you only just re-entered the business in a big way in January. Thank you so much for taking time out of your very busy schedule!

DEBI DIAMOND Well, right back atcha, I’m honored you want to talk about my movie and my new production company… I have so much more to come, I’m very excited…

W! Ok, Debi, we like to think that our readers are deeply entrenched in the world of smut and know their hardcore history, but just in case, can you tell us a bit about yourself so any n00bs out there can get acquainted?

DD Ok, my history… in porn began in 1983, and is very well documented in films, from 83-95… Most of the films I have appeared in can be found at DebiDiamondVOD…

W! You were born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, so porn was kind of a natural progression for you more than many people, but what was it about adult that pulled you in?

DD I came from a very Hollywood family, so porn, NO… not natural, not anticipated, and I actually went right into straight acting. While fun, and very lucritive, I was addicted to risk, raced cars very early in life, and my need for speed was very expensive… So, taking off my clothes and being bad was a very tempting offer, not as much down time as with mainstream, and well it seemed to play the Hollywood game I would have had to fuck and suck anyways, plus, I then had the funds to build the perfect race bike!

W! You’ve said in interviews that you “never perform,” you just enjoy yourself. And you talk often about how you’re just a naturally perverted person. Were you highly sexual before you started working in the industry, or did you discover your sexual side when you got into it?

DD I never really had much sex, guys were my buddies, not my sexual fantasies… So no, it wasn’t till I actually got in front of a camera, dolled up, that I felt this sexual charge… It was unstoppable… and felt very natural, that combined with the fact that porn was a NO-NO… Well, the ingredients to a very fun “job.”

W! So you pretty much dropped off the face of the Porn Planet in the mid-nineties, after the earthquake in 1994. Without going into more detail than necessary—what have you been up to? What made you decide to come back?

DD Needless to say, my biological clock was getting very loud, and believe me, I had done everything with everybody, I was a true groupie porn slut! And well yes, the earthquake was a very traumatizing time for me, and being of American Indian descent, I listen to “mother nature” and knew it was time for change… location/situation/mind set… so I left Cali… to find myself some peace.

W! You’ve gone pretty strictly vegetarian and say you feel fantastic! When did you switch over to veggie-ism? How has it affected your life? And how do you avoid bacon? I could never do without bacon.

DD As far as eating, I did get very into the treatment of animals harvested for food. Not only is it heartbreaking, but very unethical in most circumstances… I love living things, all of them, we don’t kill anything, nor do we endorse killing to eat. More than anything I had ever tried in my life, taking meat from my diet just made such a difference in the way I felt, my brain, my body… Can’t argue with that! And I have never met a pig I didn’t like…

W! You’ve mentioned in several places that the freedom of modern technology and the internet are amazing compared to the way things were when you started doing porn in the eighties. Back then, shooting porn was still seen as a really bad thing to do, and borderline illegal. Now it’s still taboo, but easier to film and access. Do you think porn and sex in general have become more acceptable in America since then? Or do you think it’s just gotten easier to get them?

DD Again, we have the issue of our First Amendment and our freedom… YES, I believe the technology has made it a wonderful place to be for some, not so good for others. Free porn has taken many down, and it is sad. To stay in the game you must be creative and serve up fresh niche content, this is what I intend to do.

AS FAR AS OUR FREEDOM… MAY I SAY, I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR, SOME ARE TARGETED AS “OBSCENE” AND ARE BEING CRUCIFIED. MY THOUGHTS ARE THIS… IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, DON’T WATCH IT… Recently I was quoted as saying things I did not say, for god’s sake… I ABOVE EVERYONE, do not think any “legal and adult porn,” meaning consenting adults… should be held as obscene, the witch hunts that are ongoing within our industry are heartbreaking, make no mistake… As in the case of John & Karen Stagliano, I HAVE KNOWN JOHN FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR HIM, AND IN NO WAY feel… THIS WITCH HUNT BEHAVIOR WAS DESERVED, FOR HIM OR MAX HARDCORE… When you step into the interview lights, be careful… Some have angles… and for the record, I will never do a phone interview again!

W! You’re a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie. What kinds of things do you do besides have sex on camera to get your adrenaline fix?

DD I volunteer for local and state wildlife rescue organizations… Believe me, this whole Gulf tragedy is unbelievably sad, we had pelicans and sea birds in need of rescue before this oil catastrophe, and well… I just can’t even bear to think of the suffering going on with the wildlife. In fact on my blog on MySpace, I offer free stuff to anyone who can donate time or money to help the Gulf wildlife… Ok, so catching an injured or starving bird, there’s my fix…..
