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.

Which pornstar would you most like to work with?

What would you change about the adult industry?

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.

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.

To date which porn scene are you most proud of & why?

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: I’d love to hear from Mina Moon and Milu Blaze.
