“It’s a new era of performers and it’s really amazing.”
A natural born hustler, Rain embraced her sense of adventure in her early 20s. After a couple years of stripping, she got into bottle service in LA and Las Vegas at 21, finding out that “you get treated worse in customer service than you do in a strip club.”
“People are more demanding and rude and they get away with it,” she says.
When she was 22, she returned to dancing at Sapphire Las Vegas before moving back to LA, where she found her way onto the Playboy Morning Show, appearing about a dozen times
in various skits.
“We would have this thing called Playboy Live—it was Playboy’s webcamming site,” Romi
explains. “And that was the first time I did webcamming. Because it was Playboy we couldn’t even masturbate or do anything too graphic. We could get naked, but I was chatting and hanging out with fans.”
Eager to take her sexual exploration further, she began doing research, reading blogs about adult, watching documentaries and personally contacting talent agencies before doing her first professional porn scenes in 2012.
“I started with girl/girl and then went into boy/girl after a handful of months,” she says. “People love to use the word ‘energy’ when they describe my scenes. I didn’t know if that was a good thing or bad thing at first and I know it’s a good thing now.
“When you attack people with passion it’s the best kind of aggression. I’m not a really slow lover. When I’m turned on and wanting something, I have chaotic good energy when it comes to scenes.”
One of Rain’s first major credits was a spread in Hustler magazine.
“I got to be a Hustler Honey,” Rain says. “Then I started shooting my first hardcore scenes.
... It’s pretty crazy to still have a career and still be working and thriving after 10 years. That was kind of unheard of back in the day.
“It’s a new era of performers and it’s really amazing. It used to be cliché that girls were in for three months or six months or a year, if you’re lucky. And then everybody’s going to forget about you and you’re going to have a hard life.
“Now there are so many opportunities, so many places to dip your toes into. Girls have been in for three, six, 10 or 15 years all around me. Some are 15-plus—still kicking ass and taking names.”
Rain’s ass kicking appears to know no bounds.
