1. you have exaggerated what i have said on twitter and this forum... i have not done it alot at all in my personal life with someone compared to how u are making it sound... i have played a lot by myself with toys... small toys at that... in my personal life with a guy i have only done it a handful of times which is nothing compared to what most girls that do anal in the business have done. but to me, its a good amount. i have now filmed 3 anal movies, 1 which has not been released yet by jules jordan. to be honest, i genuinely dont understand how these girls take such huge dicks in their ass... i prepped for 3 days to take mike stephano. i prepped for 2 days both times i was with jules jordan. crazy enough i got a small tear, but significant enough for my doctor to tell me to not have ANY sexual activity anally for 6-8 weeks after each time! the last time my doctor said he understands this is my career but he highly doubts my body can handle huge objects anally and that it is not something i should do often. thats very discouraging when i think about people often requesting me to work with manuel ferrara. i personally do not want to stop trying by any means. with mike stephano, i had probably one of the most intense orgasms ive ever experienced, and i havent even been able to remake that feeling in my personal life since. i just want to make sure i'm not gonna do permanent damage to my body in the process. Phoenix marie is a close friend of mine and she has consulted me in great detail what i should do to prepare and trust me when i say i follow it to a T! i do believe i will have more anal scenes out there, but i dont want to mislead anyone to think i'm gonna be the next big anal queen either. i do the best i can do and i do what keeps things fun and exciting for me ;-)
2. i cant express more how far off u r about the money... i get your point of view and all. but it's sooooooo far off from my line of thinking i dont even know where to begin. for me, i'm ok with my 40-50 scenes per year. i live in dallas and i travel to LA, Vegas, and Miami every 2 months, shoot a bunch of scenes, then go back home, or travel the world backpack style (my favorite hobby). considering i do prefer regular boy girl scenes over anal, id like to keep majority of my scenes to what i like most. thats not saying that i dont like anal! furthermore, i believe quality is better than quantity. and because it is in high demand for people to see my anal scenes, i charge more and companies are willing to pay it such as jules jordan, elegant angel, and brazzers (after going back and forth with details and goals to be achieved, brazzers has finally agreed to pay my rate, but it's in the works of how it will be shot, where, when, and who with). i put a lot of time into my wardrobe, what companies i'm willing to shoot for, who i work with, marketing, etc... all this takes a great deal of time and effort. these movies will be out there for the world to see forever, and i want to do everything i can do on my end to make sure they are awesome not average. now, i dont have control of other talent having a bad day, or how well things are edited, or even something simple like weather or last minute cancelations where we are struggling to find replacements of location or talent. i just do my best to go with the companies that for the most part seem to do a better job than most.
i hope this clears up a lot of confusion or assumptions. i do aim to please, but i've also been around the block enough times to know i can't make everyone happy, so i'll just make myself happy. i respect everyones opinions, and i'm okay with the fact that i'm not everyones favorite. i mean thats what porn is all about, giving u variety to numerous talent of all different looks, personality, and fetishes. and for that i cherish and love my job and i'm grateful to be here.
CHEERS!

CHEERS!
She's previously stated on this board (I think sometime last year) and on twitter that she absolutely loves anal in her personal life and does it all the time. And that her not doing her another one was simply because companies weren't paying her the rate that she demanded, but otherwise she would love to do it. Now that's all perfectly reasonable in theory, but that's why I always compare her career to Asa Akira's and which of their porn business models actually makes them more money in the end. Asa accepts less money than Rachel to do a lot more anal scenes (tho obviously she's paid much more than a normal non-anal b/g scene), but also loves it in her personal life anyway, so its a win-win for her. Meanwhile, Rachel will ONLY do anal for a HUGE amount of money and therefore she's so far only found 2 companies in the last 2.5 years willing to pay that amount of $ and therefore makes far less money holding out for the giant paydays even though she also loves it in real life as well. So of these 2 pornstars' business models, 1 of them makes business sense and the other doesn't - especially considering they both say they love anal and they both obviously enjoy making more money.
IMO its must just be ego that's keeping Rachel from doing more anal and therefore making more money. She'd prefer the prestige of occasionally making a porn company "break the bank" to higher her services over the actual reality of making more money over time. Lets say there's a $1,000 pay bump in doing an anal scene. If Asa has done (lets say) 25 anal scenes in 2.5 years, that's an extra $25,000 that she's made doing the same number of scenes she was already going to do anyway and for doing something extra in a scene that she already loves doing anyway at home. Now unless Rachel (who's probably made 40-50 scenes in that same time frame) made $25,000 for that single 2nd anal scene alone (which there's no way she did) then I don't think her plan works in the end (even if it is a noble effort to try and get companies to pay their stars more). At some point the free market has spoken.
