The Porn Starlet Who Became a Firefighter

Only to return to porn to play — what else? — a hot firefighter

Eva Angelina spent 14 years working in the adult industry when, in October 2017, she witnessed the Las Vegas mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. That was the moment when she realized she wanted to be a first-responder and decided to leave the porn world behind to become a firefighter. But in 2024, Angelina slid down the fire pole one last time to make her triumphant return to porn.

We recently caught up with her to talk about her recent role as a firefighter in a scene for the adult site Vixen as well as what makes firefighter porn so hot (both literally and figuratively) and how her dreams of saving the world aren’t over quite yet.

Being a firefighter in real life and in porn are two very different things. Porn is where I put my fantasy hat on. For example, the gangbang firefighter scene I shot for Vixen would never happen in real life — definitely not at my fire department. It’s all about the fantasy aspect of being the only woman in an all-male crew. What’s actually relatable is the beginning of the scene, where the guys are just bro-ing out — that’s pretty legit. But in reality they’d never be like, “Oh, let’s place a bet: Who can fuck the new girl?”

As for my real firefighter career, when the Route 91 Harvest mass shooting happened, I felt like I needed to be there first on the scene to assist in the chaos. I donated blood, and I was trying to volunteer for the Red Cross, but it didn’t feel like enough.

Then a friend of mine who was a firefighter recommended that I become one too, so I took my EMT certification, moved to Florida for family reasons, passed the physical agility exam on the first try and started at the fire academy. Once I completed that and paramedic school in 2021, I was hired at the North River Fire District out of the Manatee County area within two months of graduating.

I loved being a firefighter. I was even invited to join the light technical rescue team with my fire department, and I became a hazmat technician as well as a swift water rescue technician.

Everyone there knew about my former work as a porn star. I’d say, “Hey, I’m basing my relationship with all of you on honesty and trust. I’m not ashamed of what I did in the industry because it molded me into being the person that I am today.” They believed in me, needed me as a paramedic and didn’t judge me.

But in February 2024, I had to quit. My daughter was going through a tough time, and I’m a single mom. Plus, living on a firefighter’s income was making it difficult to survive paying for my daughter’s military boarding school. One day, I was on a trip with some of my firefighter girlfriends, and they were like, “What are you doing? You have the solution right in front of you. You already did all the hard work. Just quit and start OnlyFans again.”

I really didn’t want to leave, but I had to financially. I wanted to go with no drama, and I wanted to respect the station’s image — I knew people were going to talk shit and bash the department if I stayed while doing OnlyFans. So I just left quietly. No one except my fire chief knew that I was leaving until after I finished my last shift and turned in my gear. There are fire departments that have hired girls with OnlyFans accounts who then got caught shooting stuff on duty, and I think they ruin it for the girls who can separate the two things.

That said, when the opportunity to role-play a firefighter for a scene presented itself, I thought, How could I not? Previously, I’ve shot police officer scenes — and obviously they were very pornified and not very realistic — but doing a firefighter scene, I thought there could be a sense of realism.

I told Vixen I wasn’t going to do it unless it was done the right way. We wouldn’t be going to Spirit Halloween for a lame firefighter costume — we’d have to do it right, otherwise it’d just be a parody, and I’m not trying to make fun of something that I love and respect so much.

Vixen respected my wish, and they did a great job of bringing in some authenticity. They rented a fire engine and went to a legitimate Hollywood costume warehouse that has stuff for real movies. I brought some of my own gear, including the fire boots I wore on the job. As for the script, I had them change a couple of things. For example, the fire chief isn’t going to be on the line with their fire crew; rather, the captain is, so I had to be the captain, not the chief, as originally planned.

As a firefighter, I felt like I was an action hero every time I was on duty. One time I assisted a little girl with a head injury, and four months later, her mother put a post on Facebook looking for me so she could say thank you. That’s why I want to continue with emergency medicine — I miss that recognition for my work.

Being a firefighter truly affected the way I am in the industry now. One time, a male performer and I were waiting in line for the red carpet, and he said, “You’re always smiling. You’re always so positive and optimistic, and you never complain.” I told him, “I’ve seen the worst, and I’ve worked so hard. There’s no reason to complain when we’re in this industry, as far as little things go. Obviously, if things are inappropriate beyond what we’re required to do, then that’s different, but waiting in a line is nothing.”

We may sweat for 40 minutes while shooting a scene, but that’s different from working a fire while wearing all your gear. Those are the things that require real mental toughness, and that experience definitely changed my perspective on what we should be worried about and what we actually have control over.

Right now, I’m working on my math and science prerequisites to take the MCAT exam for medical school. That’s going to take me roughly two years. Then, medical school is four years, and after that, I’ll have a three-year residency for emergency medicine. What I plan on doing after that is being a locum tenen — basically the doctor equivalent of a travel nurse.

Until then, I’ll keep my OnlyFans profile — my fans like that I’m a former firefighter. Although, it’s not like they’re requesting content of me in a fire uniform or anything like that. Most of them would rather see me play mommy than strap on my boots and mess around with a fire hose.

Hey, whatever gets you hot.

Real Sex

The 10 Wildest Porn Reality Shows

Expect food fights, manufactured drama and… Shakespeare?

We’re obsessed with watching supposedly real-life drama unfold on-screen, even though most reality shows are a staged amplification of daily life. But that’s also what makes the genre perfect fodder for porn spin-offs.

Which is why we’ve done you the favor of combing through hours of X-rated reality TV to find the 10 funniest, sexiest and most memorable examples from the last few decades…

Wankaoke

You’ve seen drunk guys butcher karaoke classics at weddings, but have you ever watched a sheepish dude blow his load while singing “I Want It That Way”? No? Clearly you’ve never witnessed the sheer genius of Wankaoke, a high-camp game show led by Silvia Saige and Cherie DeVille.

Flustered guys shuffle behind a podium for a karaoke session. The catch? They have to perform while being jerked off — or, “sing a little Justin Bieber while we’re diddling your wiener.”

It’s hard to nut in three minutes while being serviced in front of a live studio audience, but the highly-skilled few manageto win the prestigious prize of a threesome, as well as the honor of being crowned a Wankaoke champion.

Brazzers House

Brazzers is a porn behemoth. So it’s no surprise the company has a few solid reality shows to its name. The best of the bunch, though, is Brazzers House. Want to see the emotional aftermath of a gang bang? Or a bunch of porn stars wrestle each other around a pool? Then Brazzers House is for you.

It has all the juicy, manufactured drama of reality TV, but everybody gets fucked. What’s not to love?

7 Lives Xposed

In the late ‘90s, when Americans were obsessed with reality shows like The Real World, it didn’t take long for Playboy TV to build on the emerging formula by making it X-rated. First aired in 2001, 7 Lives Xposed opens with a bold promise: “What you’re about to see is the next step in reality television.”

Self-described “internet entrepreneur” Devinn Lane plays the instigator, explaining that she’s gathered “a bunch of adventurous and sexually active amateurs” into one house. Think: food fights, cheating scandals, lots of hot tub sex scenes and some of the earliest XXX reality TV sex scenes.

Taxicab Confessions

This isn’t strictly a porn reality show, but it did inspire countless “real-life” porn series, like Fake Taxi.Either way, the HBO special was groundbreaking when it debuted in 1995 (it even won an Emmy). Drunk lesbians try to make out with their drivers, and plenty of randy passengers are keen to act out their cab driver porn fantasies.

Slag Wars

In 2020, porn stars Rebecca More and Sophie Anderson went viral for a hilariously OTT video. The clip was basically a recruitment drive for a gang bang, but a fast-growing fanbase fell in love with the pair’s overblown, porny moaning as well as the line iconic line: “We’re fucking cock destroyers.”

Before long, More and Anderson — who sadly died by suicide in 2023 — became porn royalty, launching a hunt for the next great cock destroyer in their reality show Slag Wars. Guests face a bunch of silly, smutty challenges all while the show celebrates out and proud slags.

My Bare Lady

You know the formula: American Anglophile moves to the U.K. to find a hunky British gentleman. There’s romance, hijinks and probably Hugh Grant. My Bare Lady is cut from the same cloth, but the women are porn stars, and they’re in England solely to master the best-known works of William Shakespeare.

They have just three weeks to go from porn to period piece, and they’re living together in close quarters, dealing with what may well be the most stressful few weeks of their lives. What could possibly go wrong?

The Sex Factor

Imagine America’s Next Top Model for amateur porn performers and you basically have The Sex Factor. In this 2016 reality show, 16 hopefuls battle it out for $1 million and “instant porn stardom.” It’s a riot. In the first episode alone, we meet a guy nicknamed “Banana Boat” because his dick curves upwards; another contestantself-identifies as a “gang-bang connoisseur.”

Presiding over the chaos is porn legend Asa Akira and British director Kieran Lee, who snaps on-set: “Someone has to lick a man’s ass!” Drama aside, it’s an interesting insight into the challenges of porn. Can you cum in less than two minutes? Can you take a load to the face and still look sexy? Stay tuned.

The Girls Next Door

Every straight guy in America has wondered at somepoint what life is like inside the Playboy Mansion, once home to the world’s horniest geriatric (Hugh Hefner) and an ever-changing roster of busty, blonde women.

Mid-aughts reality classic The Girls Next Door cashed in on that curiosity, creating a hit show that captured the trashy, dramatic peak of reality TV. In addition to making stars of pin-ups like Kendra Wilkinson, the show peeled back the mystique of an adult empire.

Show Us Your Wits

For two decades, Playboy TV reigned supreme in the XXX reality show genre. There was School of Sex, in which porn stars demonstrated kinky, convoluted sex positions. And All Wives Cheat, which is basically Cheaters, but if the husband discovered his philandering wife and then stayed to watch her get fucked.

Finally, there’s Show Us Your Wits, in which ecstatic guys are asked quick-fire questions while a stripper gives them a lapdance. Sure, you think you know the capital city of Canada, but can you remember it while a naked woman shakes her ass in your face?

House of Heat

You’ve heard of TikTok houses, full of polished teens who collaborate on videos to boost their fanbases. This OnlyFans reality show is basically that, but imagine a group of ripped, sexy influencers taking foot pics and straddling each other in a swimming pool.

The drama levels are high, and interestingly, the main arguments are tied to who screws on-camera and who doesn’t— a microcosm of a wider OnlyFans gripe. Don’t expect TED talks on the Whore-archy, but do expect hot people shouting at each other and fistfights at the dinner table. — Jake Hall

Boobs of the Week

Here are all the boulders that rocked (sorry) our world over the last seven days…

Nikki Glaser’s Award-Worthy Double-Sided Tape

The comedian recently took to Instagram to glaze (again, sorry) her staff over a team effort in rackitecture. “First @vmas in 12 years (see last slide)… I’d like to thank my team and an entire roll of double-sided tape for this incredible look tonight. #tapemccrae,” she wrote.

Ozempic Chest

According to new data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, plastic surgery procedures are on the rise, and Ozempic is the reason why. In recent years, the drug — an FDA-approved prescription medication for managing type 2 diabetes — has widely been used off-label by non-diabetic patients to achieve substantial (and relatively fast) weight loss. As a result, in some cases, firm melons turned into saggy pears — hence the numerous calls to cosmetic surgeons.

‘Love Island’ Boo(b)-hoos

Love Island U.K. alum Anna Vakili wishes she never went the boob-job route in the first place. In a recent episode of her podcast Sisters in the City, which she hosts with her sister Mandi (hence the name), Anna openly regretted hers. “I had great boobs,” she lamented. “I ruined them.”

A ‘Teen Mom’s Beach Flash

As widely documented by TMZ, former reality star Farrah Abraham recently had a half-nip slip moment while taking selfies on a SoCal beach. Someone should remind her that toplessness is, in fact, legal in California.

Not Only Boobs

Dakota Johnson, the woman that you are. Sure, it’s the boobs. But it’s also the legs, and the back, and the hips, and the…

HISTORICAL INK

This Was the First-Ever Tramp Stamp

You’ll be surprised to know it involves a goddess cult

In Britain, they’re called “slag tags.” In Germany, they’re arschgeweih — literally, “ass antlers.” In the U.S., we know the infamous lower back tattoo as a “tramp stamp.”

According to Urban Dictionary, they’re a surefire sign that a woman loves backdoor action. One elaborate 2008 entry even theorizes a whole formula of tramp stamps (lol), arguing the “presence and size is directly proportional to [a woman’s] sluttiness,” as well as whether she’ll swallow, star in gonzo porn or have an STI.

But where does this bizarre history of slut-shaming begin?

The First Tramp Stamp

Who was the first woman to get a lower back tattoo? It’s impossible to know. What we do know is that women were getting inked as far back as the 18th Dynasty of Egypt — that’s as early as 1550 B.C.

The humble “tramp stamp” may be older than Christ himself, but the connotations back then were wildly different. Ancient Egyptian women saw them as sacred symbols that would ensure their safety and protection during childbirth, markers of a cultish devotion to the fertility goddess Hathor.

As far as the earliest mention of the term “tramp stamp,” that dubious honor goes to a 1992 article in the St. Petersburg Times. But the “tramp stamp” mentioned wasn’t a lower back tattoo — it referred to a food stamp.

“It Won’t Be Cool Forever…”

“Tramp stamp” seemingly didn’t come to mean “a woman’s lower back tattoo” until the early aughts, although a few Redditors swear they heard the term floating around in the ‘90s. The term is usually linked to a 2004 SNL skit, Turtlington’s Lower Back Tattoo Remover,in which Amy Poehler plays a suburban mom with a huge, shameful secret.

In the sketch, a chart shows that “next to smoking and having sex, getting a lower back tattoo is the best thing you can do to be cool.” The words “tramp stamp” are never explicitly mentioned, but the sketch’s central gag is basically that young women get ill-advised lower back tattoos on promiscuous benders, which then sag and warp as they morph into sad, middle-aged women.

It’s an ethos exemplified by the tagline: “It won’t be cool forever.”

Urban Dictionary Has Entered the Chat

By 2005, guys on Urban Dictionary began claiming the backdoor myth, arguing that tramp stamps were tactically-placed by women to provide a swirly, cursive cum target to cap off a rigorous round of anal.

Weirdly, things haven’t changed all that much since the mid-aughts — although there are now articles debunking the obviously lame myth that all women with lower back tattoos are whores. Gen Z teens are even proudly reclaiming theirs — as well as the low-rise jeans and Von Dutch hats they were synonymous with. — Jake Hall

YET MORE INFLATION

Why Do Today’s American Women Have Bigger Boobs?

No, it’s not the obesity crisis

Scientists have spent decades measuring the chests of women worldwide to produce headline-worthy studies. But there’s one statistic in particular that always pops up, usually on Reddit: “The average bra size in the USA increased from a 34B to a 34DD. Why are boobs growing at the same rate as housing prices?”

Is that even true, though? Have American women become ridiculously well-endowed over the last few decades? If so, why? Commenters speculate wildly. It’s the obesity crisis! It’s because everyone has fake boobs now!

Let’s unpack this cleavage conundrum for good.

Do Big Bras Equal Bigger Boobs?

This statistic has done the online rounds multiple times. In 2024, a website called Factbaseshared photos of three apparent family members next to each other, their boobs swelling with every new generation.

The original source is usually uncredited, but a 2013 Racked (lol) article links it to “sales data and customer surveys collected by national lingerie retailer Intimacy,” which claim “the average American cup size has gone from 34B in 1983 to a whopping 34DD in 2013.”

Intimacy, whose stores were taken over by Rigby & Peller in 2015, was founded by self-styled “Bra Whisperer” Susan Nestero in 1992, so the stat was likely released to prove that bra fittings had been shitty for a long time, with sizes varying wildly between brands and countries. As far as proving that American boobs have grown bigger, that stat is basically a bust.

The Case for American Big Naturals

In 2016, an article published in The Journal of Female Health Sciences, which has now seemingly been deleted, made global headlines with its claim that American women have the biggest boobs in the world. The study featured interactive boob maps and a methodology that involved measuring actual breast tissue rather than bra size.

Tabloids went wild for the “research,” which is unsurprising, as the study basically reads: “America Wins Global Boob Olympics,” but further inspection indicates that the report was almost definitely a hoax, with no traceable authors.

Websites like World Population Reviewstill rank American boobs as amongst the biggest, but yet again, it’s worth being wary of the data. After all, average boob size varies based on endless factors, including the rising popularity of breast reduction surgeries.

Ultimately, the American Big Natural propaganda machine isn’t exactly pumping out evidence-based research to support its claims — and with cosmetic surgery trending toward smaller, so-called “yoga boobs,” boob sizes in the States could actually trend downwards in the near future. — Jake Hall

What’s up doc?

Enjoy A Dirty Joke

My wife just gave birth today, and after thanking the doctor, I pulled him aside and sheepishly asked, “How soon do you think we’ll be able to have sex?” He winked at me and said, “I’m off duty in 10 minutes — meet me in the car park.”
