“I feel more in tune with my body and I feel more accepted in this industry.”
Lexi Stone calls her first go round in the adult industry “very vanilla.”
“This time I’m a little less vanilla,” she jokes. “I’m not full chocolate but I’m a swirl... I’m branching out a lot more. I’m super excited.”
The native of Fort Worth, Texas, returned to performing for the first time in 12 years this spring with a new attitude and better understanding of who she is and what she wants.
Now represented by Nexxxt Level Talent Agency, the former real estate agent and hairdresser is making this trip around Porn Valley count.
“This was something I wanted to do and I wanted to do it better,” Lexi tells AVN. “I feel more in tune with my body and I feel more accepted in this industry. And I just felt like quite honestly, I’m hotter than I was back then.”
No argument here.
Stone made her porn debut in 2009, appearing in about 70 titles in a whirlwind year-and-a-half in which she performed in multiple scenes for studios such as New Sensations/Digital Sin, Hustler Video, Penthouse, Brazzers, Naughty America, Twistys, Red Light District, Zero Tolerance, Vivid, Bang Bros and Reality Kings, which produced her first-ever hardcore encounter for CumFiesta, opposite Ramon Nomar.
“It was a crazy day,” Stone recalls. “Everything I did in that first round was a shock to me.
“I was straight off the plane from Texas—the Bible Belt—and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I watched porn... I had seen it in passing and I had done Playboy before, but ultimately I was vanilla and had no idea.”
Still she managed to leave an impression on a lot of fans even if that first stint was somewhat brief—she admits that falling in love with a civilian and transitioning to girl/ girl and solo scenes only may have affected her opportunities toward that end of her initial foray into the business.
Fast forward to early May, when Stone did a VR scene with AVN Hall of Fame performer John Strong and Jill Kassidy, the 2018 AVN Best New Starlet, for SexLikeReal.
“It was really cool,” Lexi says. “I’ve actually never worked in VR before. Back in 2009-2010, we weren’t quite there with VR, so I learned a lot... For the positioning it’s a little bit different. John wasn’t allowed to say anything—they didn’t even want to hear him breathe. And with the position of his head, we can’t see him and he can’t really see us.”
