CL ARISSA COX
Clarissa Cox, a new talent from Orange County, California, by way of Massachusetts, is not just a new face, she
brings a background and self-aware approach not often witnessed in porn debutantes.
For starters, Cox enters the business professionally — about a year after testing the waters with her PornHub
page — at age 28, with a career in business management already on her resumé.
“My career up until now has been in business,” she told AVN. “I worked for a tech startup as an account manager.
I actually managed numerous major retailers.”
Represented by another newcomer to the adult industry, Todd Supro of the Starxxx agency, Cox’s move to enter
the adult industry at age 28 wasn’t made as a business decision, though she is now attending a Los Angeles college
to earn a Bachelor’s degree in entertainment business. Instead Cox’s launch into porn seems more like a next step
on her carefully thought-out life journey.
“Everything that you see currently, everything that you will be seeing, they are what I’m into. It’s what gets me off,
it’s what turns me on,” she says.
So why did she wait until the age of 28 to make the jump into the industry?
“I could have gotten into it when I was 18, when I was 20, 21, 22, you know. But taking the time to be in tune with
myself, as a whole, as an individual, in every essence of that, is very important to me. I value that more than many
things,” she says.
