The Porn Stars I Admired
Last month an editor client sent me a video link about Luna: https://www.pornhub.com/model/luna-okko and I accidentally jumped into a rabbit hole.
You know I’m a traditional Asian girl. And I found it oddly fascinating to see the the big contrast between her boldness and my traditional view of most asian girls.
Luna is a lovely French-speaking content creator. One minute she’s posting dreamy videos of her travels—think scenic diving and fancy dinner—and the next, she’s sharing intimate moments with her husband, complete with her signature catchphrase, “oui.” Who knew one word could express so many moods?
What I love about Luna is her whole vibe. She’s authentic, natural, and seems to treat life like one big romantic journey with some explicit scenes thrown in. She’s not trying to provoke—she’s just living her life, filming it, and sprinkling in a little romance. Très chic, non?
While surfing Pornhub—purely for research, of course—I stumbled upon another Asian beauty-June: https://www.pornhub.com/pornstar/june-liu who has a totally different flavor.
I heard that she started making videos because she couldn’t pay rent. Fast forward, and she’s a star with millions of views, a loyal fanbase, and enough income to forget what rent even is. She even gives interviews to shut down her haters. “If I hated my job, I’d be depressed by now,” she said. Fair point.
June also explained the difference between working for a company versus freelancing. Big companies offer resources—but they can also toss you into uncomfortable gigs. Freelancing? You call the shots, set your own pace, and avoid awkward team meetings about “content direction.” Honestly, I think she nailed it. Most people don’t want to be controlled—and if you’re going to run a business, it’s way easier when you’re the only boss.
Both Luna and June have racked up millions of views.But what struck me most wasn’t their videos (although they were certainly… informative and educational). It was their boldness. Their unapologetic attitude. Their ability to say, “This is who I am, and I like it.” As someone raised to be modest and quiet, watching them was like seeing another dimension of womanhood.
So will I considering joining porn star? Uh, probably not.I still have some concerns about my family — certainly, they won't support this job, and it can't be a secret. Being a secrect freelance escort maybe the best job for me now.
