“If I could be naked all the time I would...”
Dakota Tyler tells AVN that adult performing is a “freeing feeling.”
“I guess doing porn is kind of—some people have their opinions—but doing it is really bold so I’m meeting all these bold, sure of themselves, confident people,” Tyler says. “People are so confident and so sure of themselves. My impressions of it are that it’s freeing and liberating.”
Fans will be seeing much more of the East Coast native in the coming months as she’s already booked into June, according to her agent John Steven from Matrix Models.
“She’s simply ridiculously photogenic,” Steven tells AVN. “In 22 years I’ve never come across someone like this. ... The amazing thing is she just has such a great attitude. Everyone just loves working with her.”
Dakota did her first professional scene for Exploited College Girls in February in Arizona, the day before her 19th birthday (which was on Feb. 20). At press time she had less than two dozen credits, including multiple outings for ExCoGi, PornPros and FTVGirls.
Her scene partner on Day 1 was Tyler Nixon.
“There was no script or anything. It was just act more like yourself, really go with the flow of your own personality,” Dakota says, adding that Nixon already is “by far one of my favorite male talents.”
She even knew of the veteran stud Tyler Nixon before the scene.
“I did know who he was, I had seen pictures of him on Reddit,” Dakota says. “My guy friends would show me porn and he was the male talent. And then I met him and I was like holy shit, I know you. I’ve literally seen you on the internet before. But I didn’t say that—I was too shy to say that.”
Dakota, who was an all-star cheerleader all throughout high school, admits she had the butterflies prior to that first scene.
“I was very nervous, like literally in my video as they kept asking me more and more questions, my face got all red because I was nervous,” Dakota says with a laugh. “I was also smiley and giggly at the same time. It was a mix of emotions.
“I was excited. I had never done anything like that. I was also very comfortable with my sexuality and being naked. I wasn’t nervous about getting naked and having sex on camera. I don’t know why I was so nervous... After it was over I was like that was a piece of cake for me. If I could be naked all the time I would.”
Dakota says not many people were surprised she ventured into porn due to her promiscuous tendencies. Ever since she accidentally found her grandpa’s Playboy magazine stash she had “a fascination with being naked, but making it pretty.”
She tells AVN one of her favorite parts about the industry so far is “meeting all the different types of colorful people.”
“It boosts my self confidence, too, that I’m able to get naked in front of a bunch of people and they don’t judge me,” Dakota says.
