“I can work a lot but I’m very selective now.”
Even though Black never planned it this way, she has created a demand for new sex scenes because of the scarcity of her performances—at press time she had done less than 60 professional scenes.
She can count the number of scenes in 2022 using both her hands.
“But also I didn’t really shoot for my OnlyFans as well,” Rae reveals. “I think I only did like
three boy/girl scene or something, so total less than 10 even.
“I am not taking bookings which I don’t want. If I don’t fully agree I am not gonna take it. First
I want to know where I’m going, what kind of scene I’m having, who I’m working with. And then the plot.
“Everything I want to check first and then if I agree I’m gonna work. So that’s why I’m not working a lot. I can work a lot but I’m very selective now.”
It’s safe to say Black’s porn portfolio consists of quality, not quantity—a factor that has kept her ranked among the most popular performers in the world for years on Pornhub and more recently, online retail heavyweight Adult Empire.
Black at press time charted 18th on Pornhub’s Most Popular Pornstars list with more than 436 million video views and 754K-plus subscribers. She ranked 22nd on Adult Empire.
“For the person who’s not working a lot, it’s not too bad,” Black says humbly.
“I would never say I’m a porn star. I would never call myself... I can say porn actress, yes, but porn star? I’m not a star, yet.
“If I become famous, sure I’m gonna call myself—yeah, I’m a porn star. But I don’t know for now. For now, I am just another girl who is sharing her life—sometimes nude, sometimes porn.” Black says a lot has changed during her time in adult, in particular, how she approaches
decisions.
“Everything is slower,” Rae says. “Everything is fast but slow in my mind. Because I’m thinking
a lot now. Before I was like, well I am a very spontaneous person in general but now I’m like OK...I’m more, like I consider everything more. Like I think about what can happen.
“I take things a little bit more careful than before. And I do now care about my image as a social media personality. I am very careful.”
Rae continues, “Because I am now not happy with being called like a slut or whore. Like it’s very interesting to say because I’m doing porn, but I’m trying to create my image as a little bit more genuine. It’s not only porn but more... It’s hard to describe but I’m very careful what I share. Like I never post something like [explicit] now, because I don’t want to be too sexual.
“I try to keep my image a little bit more clean—more non-porn.”
When she considers what she’ll do for the rest of 2022 and beyond, Rae pauses for a beat.
“I’m like a cowboy—I would say cowgirl. I just do whatever I want, just go everywhere else.”
