Career

Before she started doing porn, Paul worked alongside several startups that focused on sustainable agriculture. One such initiative was based in Central America where she engaged in negotiations between the local government and individual investors. As part of her work, she made frequent international trips which introduced strain on her personal finances. Hence, she began to webcam from her hotel rooms to have capital to pay her workers. The company eventually went under but talent scouts for mainstream porn took notice of her by then.Buxom and shapely 5'4" brunette knockout Lena Paul was born on October 12, 1993 in DeLand, Florida.

bio

Lena Paul: I grew up pretty much all over the Southeast. I was raised in Georgia and did my first year of college at the University of Louisville in Kentucky and finished up at a college in Florida because I met a boy and fell madly in love and all that good stuff. (laughs) The boy didn’t necessarily work out but I loved the whole schooling experience. I studied Latin American studies and worked in agriculturally orientated start-up spaces. I worked with different start-ups that were looking at sustainable agriculture. Like organic farming, organic crop treatments and that type of thing. I basically negotiated between Central American governments and individual investors with the U.S. teams because I generally found being a petite, relatively cute blonde girl made it really easy for people to talk to me. I could get a lot more out of unions in Latin America that might be more closed off to others. I basically worked with the indigenous. I had a really weird career before I got into porn and now I still have a really weird career. (laughs)

Lena: I’m 23. I was homeschooled growing up so I graduated from high school early and went to college. By the time I was out and running around Mexico and Guatemala, I was about 21 or 22. There was a little bit of crossover between this time period for me because start-ups notoriously have no money and I was frequently running into the scenario where I couldn’t pay my workers in Honduras or Guatemala because of this management on the U.S. side so I was actually webcamming from my hotel room in Guatemala to fund my start-up. I ended up getting paid by the company in the form of equity. So when I got fed up with the structures of the companies I was working with and saw the writing on the wall and saw it wasn’t going to go anywhere for me career-wise, I walked away from that. In the time being, I unwittingly and unintentionally grew a pretty good presence in camming. I was getting hit up by porn agents and for auditions and all this stuff. I was going to go back and work on some kind of graduate degree but in the meantime, I realized I went to a private school, I have a ton of student debt, I kind of put everything off in my life to travel around the world, I had to figure out a way to pay my bills and have some fun at the same time. And porn still kind of appeared for me.

Lena: Yes! I started getting breasts when I was about 8 years old. I was the definition of an early bloomer. I had double D’s by the time I was 11 or 12. I was homeschooled so I was a little bit sheltered from it but I think I’ve always been conscious of the fact that I had a woman’s body at a really early age. I definitely did not look like the other girls growing up. Honestly, porn’s been really good for me in some ways because it’s been my way of making peace with my body. I feel so much more comfortable in my skin after interacting with porn consumers. They tell me that they want a woman, not a little girl. AVN was very sweet because I never think of people in terms of physical attractiveness. I’ve dated all varying body types, different appearances, some very conventional and some that not many people idolize so I never think of myself in terms of my sexuality. It’s just a business for me. Other things are important to me like intelligence and character.

lose hervirginity?

Lena: I was a really late bloomer. I lost my virginity at 19. It was really funny because my body was so developed that I think I was overwhelmed with attention. There were so many boys that wanted to be close to me and I knew that they were only after one thing. And being young and innocent, I was really not ready for that. So I waited and I actually lost my virginity to somebody that I really cared about and we were both virgins. We transitioned from high school sweethearts and dated all through college.

Lena: I kind of went crazy after we broke up! It’s so funny because my husband is the last person I hooked up with before I got into the business. I remember we were laying in my hotel room and we were trying to count up all the partners we had been with…I’ve been with about 18 or 19. I was not an amateur. One of the good things about having sex older is that you’re not all hung up on those high school insecurities. Once the cat was out of the bag, I just tried everything; bondage, DP, women, orgies, threesomes…I did a little bit of it all. BDSM too. I went to a dungeon a time or two. I just wanted to sample everything.

She went to a dungeon

Lena: I was and continue to be a switch. I went once as somebody’s dom and I went once and was a sub. I’ve tried both. BDSM is something that I will definitely explore more but I would love to experiment with it more in a professional setting.

I’m a complete and total nymphomaniac but there is a specific thing about sex I love and that’s that total animal moment when you’re not thinking about your grocery list, you’re not thinking what you have to do tomorrow…everything narrows and your whole field of vision narrows into what is happening in that one moment. I think BDSM distils that perfectly when done correctly. It’s almost meditative. The whole goal of meditation is to empty your mind and that’s what I think is really great about BDSM sex.

Sex positivity is something I’ve been big on for a long time. I think you have to be sex positive to even be attracted to this business. I’ve always tried to be supportive of fetishes, be it my partner, who I’m with, or be it a client. I never want to shame anybody. I’m always going to be a good sport and give it a try. There’s this one male performer, I won’t say who because it could be considered embarrassing, His particular kink is, he always says, ‘I want to piss in your mouth!’ ‘I want to piss in your mouth!’ I’ve always told him that’s not my fetish but I’ll dirty talk it to help you. That turns me on to get somebody going for them to feel safe and accepted in their kink. I think that is the thing I love the most, quite honestly, about sex.

escorting

Lena: No, that’s in Skype privates. I tried sugaring and I was open about that. Whenever I was funding my startup and, for me, it’s so intensive because it’s just natural setting to give a full girlfriend experience. It’s just so exhausting. I couldn’t really do it. I had a really positive experience but my life is so consumed into my work that I don’t have time to take on any projects like that.

Stage name

Lena: I love old Hollywood, Hollywood glamour, so “Lena” came from Lena Horne. And my original name when I started camming was Lena Peach because I’m from Georgia. When I got into porn, my first agent said that Peach doesn’t work. He said I should be “Paul” and I was ok with that because Lena Paul and Les Paul. It made me think of that.

Lena: Excited and nervous, like a lot of people. My first scene was with Brick Danger for Reality Kings. I met Brick, he’s a really cool dude. Our director was Ivan in Miami. Ivan is this cool fiery Cuban dude and I speak Spanish so I naturally shit talked him in Spanish all the time to bug him. Brick started joining in and we were really friendly the whole day. By the time we actually got to sex, it felt I was just fucking a friend. That’s always what it feels like in this industry because we’re all so kind and respectful to each other, most of the time. By the time we started fucking, it just felt so natural. I had such a good time. It’s so funny because I remember that we were getting ready and about to start the scene. Most of the time when a guy is dealing with a newbie, he knows to go off in the corner and masturbate to get started. I immediately went to him and said, ‘Hey, do you need a hand?’ He looks at Ivan and says, ‘She’s going to go really far in this business!’ (laughs) He was one of the first people who predicted that I was going to do well.

hobbies

Lena: I am a huge gamer so, at the moment, I’m obsessed with League of Legends and Sky Rim. I play those a lot! I have a Labrador that’s my baby and I’m always playing with her. I love to cook, I used to work as a chef while I was in college. I worked in catering. Cooking has always been a love language in my family. When you care about somebody, you make them a big meal. So I love to be in the kitchen. That’s one of my favorite things to do in my off-times. Whenever I have time, I love to be in the gym. My partner’s a bodybuilder. I just work all the time so I don’t get as much time to go as I would want to.

favorite food?

Lena: My favorite food to eat is everything. I love Southern Soul Food. I love Thai and Sushi. I worked for a Thai family and a Japanese family, cooking, so I got all their recipes. Of course, I got great recipes living in Central America. I tend to collect recipes wherever I go. I guess between sex and food, I’m generally a hedonist. I can’t eat shit food and I can’t have bad sex. Having those for any length of time makes me sad and grumpy.

music sheike?

Lena: I listen to a little bit of everything. I listen to alternative, metal, rap…I’m just all over the place. I grew up in a home of music enthusiasts.

favorite movies?

Lena: I love foreign films like The Seventh Samurai by Akira Kurosawa. I love old Westerns. Watching old Westerns was my dad’s thing so we bonded over that. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is amazing. Singing in the Rain. Anything by Hitchcock. Anything by Scorsese. I’m kind of everywhere as far as movies go. Strangely, the longer you’re in porn, the more you learn about composition. The more that I work, the more obsessed with film I become because it’s such a powerful medium.

favorite TV shows?

Lena: At the moment, I’m watching House of Cards, The Man In The High Castle and I just finished The Wire.

kinks

Lena: I was in LA on business back when I was working as a professional, the kind that wears pants to work, and I had a series of stressful and unproductive meetings. It was the last day of my trip and I was flying out in the morning. I just hopped on Tinder and I was down for anything. So I met up with this guy. He was a professional salsa dancer so he was going to take me out dancing. I thought great. There was no illusion there, I was just there to get rot out. We met his buddy at the bar that we were dancing at. One thing led to another and the friend ended up coming home with us. And I wind up having my first DP experience with 2 total strangers. It was really filthy and slutty. Normally, I just get off on chemistry but this was one of the first times that I was just getting off on being slutty. But I don’t recommend it. For those reading at home, I definitely do not recommend having sex with strangers. Get tested! Be responsible! Use protection! Even in my drunken state, there were condoms!
