Tell us a bit about yourself
Opal Essex: I’m 22 yo, I’m a senior in college getting my degree in psychology, but I would’ve done art if there was actually money in that field.
Describe yourself briefly growing up?
Opal Essex: I was always an artsy kid, I like drawing and painting and just making things. I also played a bunch of different sports but I was never serious about any of them. Kind of the nerdy slacker in high school, if that makes sense.
What are your stats/measurements?
Opal Essex: Victoria’s Secret says I’m 32DD, measurements are 35-27-37, 5’4″ tall and weigh about 130lbs.
How did you start within the industry?
Opal Essex: My friend introduced me to camming! She said I’d be good at it so I tried it out. And I decided to explore other aspects of online sw, so I did content creating and eventually professional porn!
How did you create the name?
Opal Essex: I changed my hair color a lot when I was starting off and I wanted my name to reflect that. And Opal Essex comes from the word “opalescent”, meaning to reflect the light spectrum like an opal.
What do you enjoy most about being a pornstar?
Opal Essex: Doing porn let’s me travel, I get to experience all sorts of new things, and the money (duh!)
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
Opal Essex: Shooting more scenes and hopefully going and/or finishing grad school.
What's your favorite sexual position on & off camera & why
Opal Essex: on camera: Anything that shows off my boobs! Off camera: missionary, but where my legs are on their shoulders.because it hits deeper 😂.
Which pornstar would you most like to work with?
Opal Essex: Goth Charlotte is such a badass I’d love to work with her.
What would you change about the adult industry?
Opal Essex: I wish mainstream could just chill out a little. It’s a little too uptight for me, I mean it’s porn! Who cares about hair color or tattoos?
Have you ever been grossed out during a shoot?
Opal Essex: Yes I have, but I just focused on what I needed to do for the shoot and just suppressed the “ew”.
Are there any sex acts that you haven’t shot yet but want to?
Opal Essex: A lot! I wanna do a MMF threesome and get into kinkier scenes.
Has the stigma around the adult industry affected you?
Opal Essex: For the most part my friends and family support my career choices. but I am aware that it may impact any future career when I want to change chapters in my life. I just don’t let the stigma impact my goal striving.
What's the weirdest thing that you’ve been asked to do during a shoot?
Opal Essex: Weirdest? hide in the back of a van.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to get into the industry?
Opal Essex: Research, ask questions, and make sure to budget! It might be tempting to blow your new porn money, but try to think in the longterm.
If you directed a scene what would it be about and who would feature?
Opal Essex: That’s a tough one… Honestly I’d want to do something fun like a “unicorn ambush”. Cute naive girl gives into her curiosity to be with a couple and they catch her by surprise and dominate her. I think it’d be fun to do that with a porn couple like H3LL4SL00TS and Babysid or Rich Rodney and Alexa Addams.
What hobbies & interests do you have outside of the adult industry?
Opal Essex: Art, being in the outdoors, roller skating, dancing, I’m a huge nerd so I like reading books and comics and playing video games.
Do you use sex toys? If so which ones?
Opal Essex: I use my Hitachi the most, but I also sometimes like to use my buttplugs, impact implements and bondage items.
To date which porn scene are you most proud of & why?
Opal Essex: It’s gotta be a three way tie between my Netgirl 4some, my Black Ambush scene, and the VR scene I did because I had the most fun during those and I gave those scenes 110%.
Do you watch porn? If so what type?
Opal Essex: Not really I only watch porn for content inspiration 😅 I prefer to read erotica or listen to audios because it let’s me use my imagination.
If you were interviewing a pornstar what would you ask them? & answer this question
Opal Essex: Has the industry had any effect on your own sexuality? For me, it’s introduced me to a lot more kinks and turn-ons I didn’t even know existed! And it’s helped improve my relationship with my own sexuality.
What really turns you on?
Opal Essex: Honestly I don’t know, a lot of things! I think for me my biggest turn-on is neck kisses and the feeling that I can be overpowered by the other person. I’m submissive as hell.
Who would you like to nominate to answer these questions within the industry?
Opal Essex: I’d love to hear from Mina Moon and Milu Blaze.
