Lyra Lockhart -

Can you tell us a bit about yourself

Lyra Lockhart: Hi! My name is Lyra Lockhart, I’m 20 years old, and have been in the adult industry for about eight months. Outside of porn, I’m a goofy, nerdy girl that loves to cook, practice yoga, and snuggle with my cat.

What are your stats/measurements?

Lyra Lockhart: My measurements are 32D-28-33. I’m five feet tall and weigh about 110 pounds.

How did you create the name?

Lyra Lockhart: I’ve always thought that Lyra was a beautiful, unique name. My last name literally came from a google search for “L last names” because alliteration seemed like the way to go. Lockhart has kind of a whimsical sound to it, and the name also appears in the Harry Potter series. I’m a bit of a nerd, so it seemed to fit.

What do you enjoy most about being a pornstar?

Lyra Lockhart: I enjoy the freedom of sexual expression that porn has given me, along with being able to create something that makes others happy.

How are you different from other performers?

Lyra Lockhart: When most people look at me, they would not assume that I do porn and am a total freak. I come off as shy and nerdy and I think the shock value sets me apart. One director nicknamed me ‘the silent assassin’ because of that.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Lyra Lockhart: In five years, I hope to have graduated college and possibly go to grad school. I don’t know if I’ll be working in the adult industry full time, but would like to still have some involvement with it even if it doesn’t end up being my main career.

What's your favorite sexual position on & off camera & why

Lyra Lockhart: On camera, I like reverse cowgirl or doggy because they always seem to look good. Off camera, I really love missionary because it’s intimate and connective.

Which pornstar would you most like to work with?

Lyra Lockhart: I would love to work with Kissa Sins. Her sexual energy is amazing.

Have you ever been grossed out during a shoot?

Lyra Lockhart: That luckily hasn’t happened to me yet!

Are there any sex acts that you want to shoot?

Lyra Lockhart: I would love to do an airtight scene, but shooting a girl/girl scene is at the top of my list right now—I love women and want to capture that love on camera.

Are any sex acts taboo for you?

Lyra Lockhart: If you mean taboo as in something I don’t want to do, I’m not a huge fan of vomit or urine play.

Can you talk us through an average shoot?

Lyra Lockhart: I always try to get a good night’s sleep before a scene and pack my shoot bag the night before so everything is ready to go in the morning. That morning, I eat a healthy breakfast, shower, and do my makeup at home or just head to set if it’s done for us there. How long shooting takes depends on the type of scene and how much acting and dialogue is required. Before filming the sex, we usually take “pretty girl” photos, sex stills (although these are sometimes shot in the middle of a scene), and film teaser trailers. Then the sex scene is filmed, we clean up, get paid and go home!

Has the stigma around the adult industry affected you?

Lyra Lockhart: This stigma has definitely affected my relationship with some of my family, and has definitely made me keep what I do a secret from many people in my life. I am not ashamed at all, but it’s sometimes easier when people don’t know that I do porn.

What's the weirdest thing that you've been asked to do during a shoot?

Lyra Lockhart: Not much weirds me out, and none of my scenes have been too crazy, so I can’t really think of anything too weird that’s been asked of me.

Is sex with you off camera different from what we see in movies?

Lyra Lockhart: I think that there are some slight differences, but I do try to keep my performances authentic. Sometimes though, the script requires that you say or do certain things that you may not do a lot off camera. When filming, you also have to be aware of your angles and opening up to the camera, while you can just let go off camera and let nature take its course so to speak. I think I definitely have more intense orgasms off camera because I can really let go and not worry about what I look like or if the camera can see my face, etc.

Do you get recognized outside of the industry?

Lyra Lockhart: I’m still pretty new and am not well known, so I’ve never been recognized or approached by a fan in public. I also look pretty different when I’m not wearing makeup and don’t have my hair done nicely.

What's the most difficult thing about being a porn star?

Lyra Lockhart: One of the most difficult things for me is constantly having to fight the voice in the back of my head that tells me I’m not pretty enough, thin enough, talented enough, etc. to do porn. Some days can be really mentally exhausting.

If you weren't creating adult content what would you be doing?

Lyra Lockhart: I would be in college (like I am now) and would just be a slut off camera.

What advice would you give to someone wanting to get into the industry?

Lyra Lockhart: I would tell someone to research different agencies before signing with one, and also make sure that they’re prepared to be an adult performer. This job is not easy and takes a lot of mental strength, entrepreneurship, and perseverance.

What hobbies & interests do you have outside of the adult industry?

Lyra Lockhart: I love to cook and bake—I’m always making cookies and bringing them to my friends! Learning languages is another hobby of mine as well. My minor is actually in Japanese and I study other languages as well.

Do you use sex toys?

Lyra Lockhart: I typically masturbate with my hands, but occasionally will use dildos or vibrators. I recently started to fool around with wand-style vibrators (like Hitachi) and they knocked my socks off.

To date which porn scene are you most proud of?

Lyra Lockhart: I’m not sure if there’s a particular scene that I’m most proud of, but I really love my anal scenes because I’m proud of how much my little butthole can stretch and how well it gapes.

Do you watch porn? If so what type?

Lyra Lockhart: I occasionally watch lesbian or BSDM porn.

If you were interviewing a pornstar what would you ask them? & answer this question

Lyra Lockhart: I would probably ask them what goes on in their head during a scene. For me, it’s a combination of trying to make sure I’m staying in character, being good for the camera, making my scene partner(s) comfortable, and also some sexy thoughts.

What really turns you on?

Lyra Lockhart: Intelligence, confidence, and kindness.

Who would you like to nominate to answer these questions within the industry?

Lyra Lockhart: Thank you for interviewing me! I nominate any of the newer folks in the biz because every bit of exposure counts when you’re new and trying to build a fanbase.
