“She really built herself up with her
name and who she is.”
—Seth Gamble
While living and teaching in the Orlando area, Luna decided to join FetLife with the desire to
meet new friends outside of work. FetLife is billed as “the most popular social network for the
BDSM, fetish and kink community.”
“So you find your region and then you get together with people in real life and you talk about
fetish and kink and maybe you play and maybe you don’t or maybe you’re just meeting at a
Starbucks and talking to like-minded people,” Luna recalls. “And so that’s kind of what I was
looking for when I moved to Florida—because now I’m 25 and I have to make friends as an
adult for the first time in my life.”
She credits The Woodshed, a private membership club dedicated to building community for
alternative lifestyles, with teaching her how to play with discretion.
“I just learned so much from that place, and I’m so thankful for The Woodshed in Orlando
because it really taught me how to play safely, sanely and consensually. Those are like the three
hallmarks of kink play. And I got to the point where I was like, this is empowering, I feel very
good doing this. … And I think that’s what I’ve kind of carried into this career as well. Being
able to feel like I’m very confident in that exploration of sex.”
While on FetLife, Lexi was headhunted by L.A. Direct Models; she had some discussions but
didn’t end up signing, starting out with another agency. Eventually, she gained her footing with
East Coast Talent—her second agency—doing many of her early scenes in Fort Lauderdale
in the late spring and early summer of 2016.
“And it was difficult to get booked at first because I had a super young face and I had a MILF
body,” Lexi says. “And so they were like, well, you’re not a teen, but you’re not a MILF. And we
don’t really know what to do with you. So for three years, I really didn’t do a lot.”
Then came July 2019—which Luna refers to as “Julexi.”
“I worked I think like 28 out of 31 days or something like that,” she recalls. “It was an insane
month. But also I knew that that’s what it took in that moment.
“Like I have to do it all and take any work that I can get because that’s how you get spread
out and find new fans and all these companies are promoting you. People are always like, you
guys don’t get paid enough. I’m like, well, I don’t really know how much it costs to get a million-
plus eyes on me at once when Brazzers post a scene and then posts on their Instagram. I
don’t know what the cost of that is, but that feels very valuable to me when it’s not just about
the rate I’m getting. It’s also about the exposure and the promotion.
“And I figured that out pretty early on.”
When COVID hit the following spring, Luna had scenes in the bank—lots of them.
