Sophia Locke, one of the industry’s favorite adult film stars who is back onscreen after a five-year hiatus, was a featured guest on a recent episode of the Krazy Train with Jasmin St. Claire Podcast.

The sultry redhead, who is set to appear at the 2023 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo January 4-7 signing at the 101 Modeling exhibit booth, spoke to St. Claire at length about her life in and out of the adult business over the past several years.

“After seven years of being in the industry, I did want people to see me for something else… I was really quiet about it, no one knew that I had done sex work… but now I am very open that I did adult film, I am excited to be open about it now; I was so reserved about it before,” she says in the virtual interview.

She praises the enlightened state of today’s skin biz: “People have been pretty respectful, more so than in my vanilla jobs where you have a boss who is all touchy-feely and you can’t say anything… it’s awesome being in this industry, I think.”

Locke also discusses her love of singing: “I imagine it’s probably related to how much I love performing in adult stuff… you want to be on stage, you want to be watched, you want to affect people in some way – for singing, it’s emotionally, for sex work it’s obviously in a different way.”

These days, Locke says she’s learned to simply sit back and enjoy the ride as an onscreen performer. “I am very determined to be single and focus on my career… I am feeling very grateful to have this second chance in this business that I didn’t know if I’d have or not, and I just want to go as far as I can with it.”

Sophia Locke is a model, content creator and adult film star on a mission; the sultry Long Beach native was born with an adventurous streak that ultimately manifested itself in her budding sexuality. “I signed up to a cam site back in 2010 to satisfy my exhibitionism and to explore BDSM,” she said. “It was fascinating to learn the different fetishes that people were into; I also was able to make great money, so I quit my job in luxury hospitality to do it full-time for the next seven years.”

As her popularity blossomed, Locke expanded her professional brand, running events and after-parties for the infamous Cam Girl Mansion, and by 2014, she was shooting for studios part-time – primarily for Kink.com. “It was my dream site, and I was fortunate to shoot several scenes for them and other big companies over the next year and a half.”

She left the industry in 2016, as her former partner was uncomfortable with her day-to-day job duties; she shifted to real estate, but by August 2021, single again, Locke was back onscreen and shooting films like no time had passed. “I missed the exhibitionism and like-minded community of models and fans; I assumed I’d been forgotten, but the same supportive folks were shockingly still there for me and embraced my comeback.”

Unfortunately, she lost her relationship with her mother “because she doesn’t agree with what I do for a living”, affirming her personal mission “to shift perspectives of other people based on my true lived experiences in porn, since I can’t do that with her. It is healing for me.”
