The name Lori Lust conjures up images of porn movies in Betamax boxes bigger than your head, Casio soundtracks, and a lack of shaving. But don't let the name fool you; Lori Lust is a millennial porn star and relentless self-promoter with abs that could crack a fire hydrant. More after the gap. - G. Ponante

"I was the only porn star to host at the Playboy Mansion," Lori Lust is saying on the phone. "That's pretty interesting, isn't it? One guy told me that I was giving everybody hard-ons. I was naked for two hours."
I have no evidence to confirm or deny Lust's status as the first porn star to host at the Playboy Mansion, a job which involves meeting and greeting and posing for photos, but no Pauly wrangling.
Lust is a recent immigrant to Porn Valley with a Detroit-adjacent accent. She and her partner, Craig Stevens, are fitness models and work out each day. "I'm on a lot of fitness model sites, too," Lust said. "I've won a bunch of awards. People say I have the best body in the business."
"I've already shot for Hustler and Adam & Eve already," she continues, "and I just got the cover of (escort publication) L.A. XPress."
It's such a thrill ride that I can't but keep listening.
"I saw Hef and sat on a rock in the grotto naked," she said. "It was cold after a while. I was just walking around everywhere naked."
"Did you see any celebrities? Richard Belzer? Jimmy Caan? David Steinberg? Fred Durst?"
"I don't think so." I told her that Fleshbot readers love Fred Durst.
The idea of being my own spokesperson scares me to death, but Lust rattles off Howard Stern appearances, sponsorships, and how people say she has great nipples. She is deadly serious about her career.
"How did you arrive at your name?" I asked, looking for a human angle.
"I just made it up," she said. "I was greeting everybody at that party at the Playboy Mansion. People were taking pictures of me. The guy said I was giving everybody hard-ons."
