Porn actress from the Eighties, Nina DePonca returned to the adult business
a little wiser, a little older; but, hey, aren't we all. She's
repped by World Modeling.

Nina was inducted into the Mr. Web Review Hall of Fame in March, 2003.

She recently sat down with Gene Ross of the old Gene Ross Extreme website. This interview is run with Gene's permission:

Gene: Where the hell have you been?

Nina: Just stripping.

Gene: You don't just strip.

Nina: That's what I did for a living- just strip.

Gene: When did you leave the adult business.

Nina: I think it was 1990.

Gene: You've been out 12 years? Doesn't seem like that long. Why did you leave?

Nina: I fell in love.

Gene: That usually does it.

Nina: The guy I was with didn't want me with anyone else, so I quit for him.

Gene: How long did it take you to realize that you had made a mistake?

Nina: We were together about three years.

Gene: That's a fait shot. What made you realize that it wasn't everlasting?

Nina: Because he was kind of selfish; he could never get it out of his head
what I used to do. It bothered him too much.

Gene: That's with a lot of guys.

Nina: I can understand that, though.

Gene: That accounts for three of the 12 years.

Nina: I figured after that I'd stay out in case I ever fell in love again.

Gene: So where were you stripping? All over the country? All over the world?

Nina: Just the USA and Canada. I got around. I'm like a roadrunner. Never stayed in one place too long.

Gene: So you were doing your own little Nina DePonca tour.

Nina: That's right.

Gene: So are there t-shirts commemorating the 1990 World Tour?

Nina: In the beginning.

Gene: When did you first come into the business?

Nina: 1986. Back then I used to watch porno. I was a big fan of Seka and Vanessa Del Rio. I wanted to see what I could do with it.

Gene: You were a fan who thought she could do as well.

Nina: I never thought I could do as well as Vanessa, but I tried my hand at it.

Gene: How would you characterize those four years you were in the business.

Nina: They were great. I have nothing bad to say. I had good times.

Gene: Of course there was a much different cast of characters back then.

Nina: I don't have anything to compare it to until I meet the new cast of guys.

Gene: Have you given this a lot of thought to coming back.

Nina: I did. Yes.

Gene: That was the thing that got you off your ass.

Nina: Nostalgia. I figured I'd give it one more go around until I got too old.
[Off mic DePonca said her current boyfriend had proven "too freaky" for her
and she left him, too.]

Gene; Remember the first sex scene you ever did.

Nina: It was with Tom Byron and Jon Dough. It was for a European company. I
don't remember the company but I remember the scene. I also remember what I was wearing. It was a little bluejean dress.

Gene: Was this a d.p.?

Nina: No it wasn't.

Gene: You've done anal.

Nina: Yes I have but I don't plan on it this time around. It's not very enjoyable for me. It hurts. I want to do things that are enjoyable.

Gene: How were you growing up.

Nina: I was kind of wild. I was the type who would drink beer in the bathroom in high school and smoke marijuana. I'd date older guys. If I was 15, my boyfriend might have been 27.

Gene: You looked older.

Nina: The same as I do now, but the guys didn't care about the age.

Gene: That's because they're slime.

Nina: I always liked the older guys

Gene: The experience no doubt.

Nina: And I always thought they were more handsome. I always thought the young guys were silly as I do now. I tend to think that young men are silly and I don't like silly men.

Gene: Old guys- give them a chance. They can be just as silly. When was the
first time you had sex.

Nina: I was 14. I had been smoking marijuana. Marijuana always made me really horny. I was saying no for months until I had smoked some marijuana. Then I said yes.

Gene: Was this some guy you were dating or someone who passed you a doobie at the right moment?

Nina: It was some guy that I really, really, really liked.

Gene: And you could add another "really" under the influence.

Nina: I was playing hard to get. I was going to give it to him eventually
anyway, but I just said fuck it that day.

Gene: Where did this happen.

Nina: It was in a car.

Gene: I love car stories.

Nina: A car is sexy.

Gene: Front seat or back.

Nina: Back. It was a Cadillac.

Gene: Did we have a little bit of doggie?

Nina: I was a virgin! So it was basically missionary. I didn't know what the
hell I was doing.

Gene: And there wasn't that much porn then available.

Nina: I had seen it. I used to sneak my family porno books.

Gene: How about loops.

Nina: We used to sneak in the quarter booths. The guy would turn his head and
we'd run in.

Gene: Remember anything of your first sexual experience?

Nina: I'll never forget it as long as I live. It was beautiful.

Gene: Given a choice between a Cadillac and a Volkswagen I could see why. So
how long was it before you dumped that guy?

Nina: I was 16.

Gene: So did you do anal before you ever got into the business?

Nina: Yeah. I did.

Gene: Out of curiosity or did a guy just annoy you to death and break down
your resistance?

Nina: You got it.

Gene: Broke down your will to live.

Nina: That happens. He kept begging me. I said, okay, I'll try it. What the
hell. It wasn't good.

Gene: He didn't know what he was doing?

Nina: He knew what he was doing. I wasn't the first one. The experience wasn't
too good. I could just never get into it.

Gene: Yet you still did it in your career.

Nina: Yeah, I know. Just because I don't like doesn't mean I don't know how to
do it. I suppose I could find something sexy in it, if I had to.

Gene: In your first go around what were some of your favorite guys to work
with?

Nina: Tom Byron, Jon Dough...I can't remember most people. I used to favor Tom and Jon. Then there was Randy West...

Gene: What's going through your mind as you're making your comeback.

Nina: Like I said I want to give it one last go-around before I get too old.
I'm craving the excitement. I'm bored. I need excitement.

Gene: That bad stripping, huh? In all those years of stripping, I'm sure you
heard every come on, every line of shit you could possibly imagine.

Nina: My God, it was like shut up, already. I think most of the guys are full
of shit. They just want to fuck. They're out for one thing. No one's original.

Gene: Do you award prizes for originality?

Nina: No, I don't. But I've met some pretty interesting men dancing. Every
boyfriend I've had I've met at strip clubs.

Gene: No shit, figure out where you've been spending most of your time.
Anything potentially serious ever come of them.

Nina: Oh yes. My relationships usually last three years.

Gene: And that's it. We'd have to do a psychic reading to figure out why it's
three years and out.

Nina: I'm just coming out of a three year relationship.

Gene: This one had to have been a real doozie to put you back into porn.

Nina: He doesn't know.

Gene: You're still seeing him?

Nina: No.

Gene: Then you don't have to worry about what he does or doesn't know.

Nina: I might want him back. But I don't think he'll have me back after this.
