The 13 Smartest Porn Stars of All Time By Greg [93 more lists]

From earning PhDs to starting small businesses, here are the smartest, geekiest and most driven p**n stars of all time. P**n Stars are often derided for being unintelligent and shallow, but let's be honest, they were smart enough to make a living at something we all do for free. These women have been successful academically as well as financially, from founding succesful enterprises outside of the p**n industry to leading an Oxford debate team to victory. These 13 adult film stars prove they have big brains to match their other large assets.

Annie Sprinkle

Annie Sprinkle is the first p**n star known to have earned a Ph.D.

She earned her doctorate in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, California.

Her work spans over three decades and is currently being studied at many universities throughout the U.S. in departments such as Women's Studies, Film Studies and Theater History. She's also a faculty member at The New School of Erotic Touch. So, needless to say, she's 100% a PRO.

Here's an interesting video on Annie's unique look at sexuality:

Sasha Grey

Here's a video of Sasha Grey describing her 5 favorite films.

Only in her early 20s, Sasha Grey has starred in over 170 adult films.

She's been on various programs throughout television and the internet defending her lifestyle and those who choose it. She has been quoted as saying that she's never done anything she didn't want to do.

How is she intelligent enough to be on this list? Well, she turned to p*********y as an art form. She says she used to watch it when she was in college and used it to m********e, and was a huge fan, but always felt like something was "missing" from it.

Her unique brand of name-calling and vocal reactions to what is happening in every one of her scenes are what she describes as a sort of "psychological warfare" she wages on her co-stars and the audience in order to challenge them all.

In addition to her successful adult film career, she's also starred in mainstream director Stephen Soderberg's film The Girlfriend Experience and even has her own band.

She has since used her popularity to herald such causes as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' initiative for animal birth control.

Nina Hartley

Coming from Buddhist parents, Nina Hartley started working in strip clubs during her sophomore year of nursing school to support herself. She graduated magna c*m laude (must not... make... joke....) from San Francisco State University's nursing school, and is a registered nurse.

One of her best quotes is: "Sex isn't something men do to you. It isn't something men get out of you. Sex is something you dive into with gusto and like it every bit as much as he does." She's a well-known sex educator and sex-positive feminist.

Before Jenna Jameson's rise to fame, she was pretty much THE go-to eloquent, well-spoken spokesperson FOR p*********y. She even appeared on Oprah Winfrey defending the subject in front of dozens of angry women in the audience.

She is also a really experienced and wise sex educator and teaches via a series of "Guide to..." films that pretty much cover the entire spectrum of sexuality. She has a "How to" video on how to do just about anything and will teach you and your partner to do all that stuff you've always been afraid to do.

Asia Carrera

Not to be mistaken with Wayne's World's Tia Carrera, Asia Carrera was born in New York City and studied piano as a child (which is probably where she gets her fast fingers). She was so good at this, in fact (the piano playing), that she performed at Carnegie Hall TWICE before even turning 15.

She's starred in over 275 adult films in her career (as well as some Mainstream Films) and has as IQ of 156. She also attended Rutgers University from which she earned a full scholarship, where she double-majored in Business and Japanese.

She never quite finished her full degree, though, because she made more money at the stripping job she had during college and according to her just "had more fun" and, according to Cyndi Lauper, that's all girls want to do anyway, so everything seemed to work out.

She's gone on to own the rights to some of her most famous films, including "A is for Asia", and has become one of the most well-known adult film stars of all time.

She's the self proclaimed "nerd of p**n" and is an avid player of Unreal Tournament (a popular First-Person-Shooter game). She even went as far as designing her own game skins.

Her gamertag is Megabitchgoddess, for anyone who's interested.

You may recognize her from the fake p**n film in The Big Lebowski or from the action figures of her that are sold in some novelty stores.

In this video: Asia's rocky journey to success, fueled primarily by her intelligent survival.

Shy Love

Shy Love has starred in over 250 adult films during her career.

She legitimately graduated high school at the age of 16, then earned a bachelor's degree and two Masters Degrees. She got her Bachelor's degree in Accounting, then got her Master's Degree in Accounting immediately afterward.

Soon after, she became the comptroller of a multi-national pet pharmaceutical company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And during her employment there, she found the time to take night classes to earn her second Master's Degree in Taxation. By the age of 25, she was a certified public accountant, which means she's probably REALLY fun at parties.

She's currently a talent manager, as she even started her own talent management agency.

Here's a video about this lovely lady's lucrative career and how she runs some of her business from her bed:

Lorelei Lee

A graduate student at NYU, Lorelei Lee, 28, is a well known p**n star who has managed being a student and adult film star for almost 10 years.

(Not to be mistaken with the wrestler)

Lorelei is a 2008 graduate from San Francisco State University. She enrolled at NYU's creative writing program.

Despite much criticism, she continues to juggle both her adult professional career AND her grueling academic duties/schedule.

This is a picture of her being studious (awesome, right? You have no idea how hard it is to find clothed pictures of her).

Below is a video.

Most of her work is based on her experience in the adult entertainment industry. She's even been featured in NYDailyNews, where she told the reporter that she "isn't quite sure what [she] wants to do after she graduates, but [she] doesn't expect to leave the p**n industry." She says, "I still do get something out of my work in p**n; I think I'm good at it, the ability to focus on what's happening right at that moment. In these fields, you have to have a lot of personal drive." (Giggity).

Here's an interview with her discussing her adult and academic career:

Joanna Angel

Joanne Angel is not only a star, but is a director and writer of the adult films she stars in, which is hot.

Even hotter still, she has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature with a minor in Film Studies from Rutgers University.

Like Asia Carrera, she enrolled in Rutgers University. She earned her B.A. in English Literature and minored in Film Studies.

She's extremely well spoken and very eloquent, as well as informed about her trade. Her writing has been featured in magazines and newspapers such as The New York Times. She even wrote a sex advice column for popular music magazine Spin.

Here's a video of her views on the evolution of p*********y and what effect the internet has had on it:

Here's her learned perspective on the demise of legitimate sexual contacts on Craigslist:

Laurie Wallace

Scottish adult film actress Laurie Wallace graduated Summa C*m Laude (must not... make... joke) with a double major in German and Political Science from Loyola College in Maryland. She later attended law school at George Washington University.

She was also an intern on K Street, a center for various think tanks and advocacy groups located in Washington D.C.

She later moved on to modeling and intelligently moved onto p*********y afterward, because that was (obviously) her calling. She used the pull from her modeling career to make appearances in Maxim, FHM, many national commercials and over 300 romance novel covers.

She's definitely someone who could have stayed a scholar, and could have become a very successful, well-connected lawyer, but CHOSE another profession she just happened to enjoy more. And for that, we salute her.

She's admitted that she spends a lot of her free time reading Tolstoy and Oscar Wilde.

Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson is widely considered the most successful woman in p**n. (As well as starring in mainstream films.)

While her academic career isn't much to marvel at we have to give credit to the woman who almost single handedly brought p**n into the mainstream. She owns multiple businesses and built up, then sold to Playboy, an enormously profitable production company in ClubJenna (that has over $30 million in revenue, with at least half of that being profit).

The biggest reason for Jenna Jameson making this list, though, is her debating skills. In 2001, the Oxford Union debating society invited Jameson to come to Oxford to debate a proposed British law against p**nography. Shockingly, she led her side to victory, winning the debate 204 to 27.

She's also taken Bill O'Reilly to task for some of his hypocritical ways. Here's a youtube video of her appearance on his show, Jenna Jameson on Bill O'Reilly . Later, in February 2003, Pony International planned to feature her as one of several p**n stars in advertisements for athletic shoes. This plan was attacked by O'Reilly, then Jameson sent a sarcastic email to the show, writing:

"I hope Bill understands the difference between a p**n star and a hooker. I assume he has done some research on the subject because he requested some of my videos after we finished taping my appearance. I imagine he wanted them for professional reasons."

Jenna Jameson for the win.

Lisa Sparxxx

This pornstar who holds a world record for having sex with 919 men in the space of a day has a Master of Arts degree in Multimedia with a minor in Business from the University of Kentucky.

She even started her own affiliate program via her personal website which receives tens of thousands of visitors a day. This program she developed allows her to keep over 50-65% of initial sales from her ads/site. She runs the site, and her own production company (including filming, casting, etc.) with her husband.

Just as a side note, she got the world record during the Third Annual World Gangbang Championship and Eroticon in 2004. That's right, you read it right, these exist.

Here's an interesting interview (NSFW) about her career and her experiences in the industry, done shortly after her world record:

Ron Jeremy

Ron Jeremy, the world record holder for most appearances in adult films, actually used to be a teacher. Before he got into the p*********y industry, he was making great use of his bachelor's degree in Education and Theatre and his Master's Degree in Special Education from Queens College in New York.

He's since been noted as one of the most prominent faces of the p*********y/adult industry and has even been invited to address the Oxford Union, a debating society whose membership usually comes exclusively from either students or alums of Oxford University. His speech, which defended p*********y, was well-received by critics and scholars alike.

Since then, he began a series of similar debates on p*********y, visiting various U.S. and Canada university and college campuses as part of his 2006 "Porn Debate Tour".

He's also helped open a Club Sesso (which I believe means "brains" (in meat form) in Spanish) located in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Attached is a 3-part debate Ron Jeremy held at Laurentian University.

In person Sasha is one of the dumbest people I ever heard speak, and yes...she was sober. She tries to use big words that she writes on the back of her hand and doesn't even know the full meanings of. Poor girl needs to go and just get a job at Wendy's already. On top of that her take on art is trully misguided and un-educated.

The 13 Smartest Porn Stars of All Time at 12/28/2011 10:35 AM

I heard Max Hardcore on national public radio here in Canada explaining that the majority of women in his Gonzo films have PhDs, and that they participate in the Gonzo p**n as an artistic expression of their unique human sexuality and sensuality. He went on to elaborate that the Gonzo production house he runs is less about profit than it is a spiritual practice of a progressive alternative community. Given the numbers of women in his films, one would think that there would be hundreds (at the very least) of doctorate holding p**n actors. No one in the p**n industry would lie about what's really going on there, would they? Also, if it's all so empowering and such a wondrous healthy job choice, why are we even having a conversation about the relative intelligence of p**n stars? And why are we only discussing females? I mean, it's all a safe, healthy creative expression of the spectrum of human sexuality, right?

Nina Hartley here. Nonsense Blue: your "stats" are completely bogus. The death rate for adult performers is no higher than for other people in a similar age cohort. If you take a look at the "dead p**n stars" site, you'll see that not that many have died over the past 30 years and most have died from accidents, not drug ODs or suicide.

The entertainment business, mainstream as well as adult, is a very harsh business, peopled by those who need attention. More comics have killed themselves than have adult performers. "Most" are NOT drug addicts, either, so please get your facts from somewhere other than your behind, or keep risking sounding like a completely judgmental ignoramus.

Mike: you really can't compare law with nursing. Two different types of intelligences are needed. Both are hard, with lots to know, remember and recall. Have YOU tried to get through one nursing course? Biology? Anatomy? Chemistry? Physiology? Psychology? Can you start an IV? Take a medical history? Do a physical assessment of an injury? Change a dressing safely? Remove stitches? Record vital signs? Deliver a baby? Help a woman learn to breast feed her infant? I thought so.

Jimmy: suicide is NOT rampant in the adult industry. In my 26 years here there have been fewer than ten, including the idiot with the sword.

To set the record straight, there have been exactly FIVE cases of HIV detected since 2004, four in '04 and 1 last year, when a new performer was found to be HIV+, after she had done a BJ scene. The other cases were either people being screened before their first scenes (and therefore kept out of the talent pool), or were "civilians" (non-performers) who were just getting tested on their own.

  Ms. Hartley,
  
  My name is John. I will reveal more of myself to you via e-mail should you choose to write me back. I am a writer and have been looking for a consultant with your intelligence and background and was wondering, if you would, when you have the time to write me back, could I please pick your brain from time to time for informative feedback of your backgrounds (my wife, too, is a nurse) for articles and books, both fiction and nonfiction, I hope to write. Your input, I feel, could be invaluable on such matters. I also would like to find out from you in a personal way the experiences in the professions you have chosen which, I feel, would also supply me with interesting information to utilize in an article or book both on its own and in combination with the general overview about the two professions I hope to get from you. If you would, could you please send me an e-mail message when you get the opportunity to do so to my literary.lad@gmail.com e-mail address. Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it.

Why do people associate university degrees with intellegence? Most degrees are absolute useless c**p and a waste of time. Most people I know who have degrees work in areas that have no relevance to their education (most are low paid). I did the most intelligent thing of all my friends and started a business at age 18 instead of going to university. I am 33 now and have retired in comfort. Get a degree in life and the world is your oyster.

  There's correlation with higher education and IQ a "measure" of intelligence.It seems like your mistakenly associating intelligence with success. And more education does mean higher salary.

Ummm, . . . no she wasn't an Olympic swimmer. Did she help Kevin Costner design that oil centifuge thing, or maybe fly on the space shuttle?

  No, but she WAS part of the 1988 US Olympic swim team competing in both the butterfly and back sprint 100 meter races.
  
  Where do you get your non-facts?

Well, since the whole Olympic swimmer thing for TJ Hart is made up nonsense, I wouldn't hold my breath about the triple major either. In fact probably most of the non-p**n accomplishments in the article are made up, except for the fact that they ARE good business women. Oh, Kevin Costner really DID invent an oil centrifuge thingamajig, but he's still a couple of bad openings away from doing p**n!

Hypocrites.

They want people to call them P**n Stars -_-

They share the same activities and motivations as the group of people we call "Prostitutes". Men in power are behind this.

Today's society (In general) Is a sick an ignorant one. There's no doubt about it, where ever you go you'll see some kind of sexual-business connection. (ex) Sports, Advertisements, Non-educational T.V. programs, etc.

As a young teen. Temptations are hard when older generations are advertising you sex wherever you put your eyes on. (It's obvious that you make decisions) but it is uncomfortable browsing the web, watching T.V. programs, etc and having all this hypocrite people -_-

Most people without noticing, don't know it. They even idolize people. If you analyze deep into society, they don't do much but create more perverted minds in the Planet.

I extremely dislike the power/luxuries they give to celebrities. They are sometimes giving statues, recognition, and blah blah. When they don't do anything to help society out from this hypocrite stage. But to assimilate more young girls to follow the same dysfunctional old path: "The best and easy way to a recognized life"

I will not idolize this women for being "Astute"

Not that hard to get a job on "K Street", which is actually just a street in DC with a lot of lobbying firms, not a center. Actually, not that hard to get any internships in DC if you're pretty and blonde. I know because I was one.

  Also, that's not her ONLY accomplishment. The fact is that she didn't come from a "hard" background, but chose a profession that makes her happy and is lucrative for her.

Nonsense Blue: don't even give it a second thought. All this academic accomplishment is completely fake. Like Asia Carrera had a full scholarship to Rutgers, but still need to strip to make money! LOL There's a reason that p**n stars have a death rate 10 to 12 times higher than the general population in their age group, and it's drug abuse. Most of these women were strippers with a habit, not academics with a hobby.

  What's your source for those statistics? As far as I'm aware (and to be fair, I don't know much about the adult industry but I have read a decent amount about it) adult stars have some of the highest rates of testing for STDs in Western society for the simple reason that their profession makes their exposure to it more likely. There are plenty of rules and regulations in place to protect them from infection - and not just rules made up on the spot but ones enforced by the adult media industry and state/federal laws.
  Asia Carrera's education is a widely known fact. I'm not aware that she's a drug addict. Just because she makes a tonne of money doesn't mean she's making it to fuel a habit. Plenty of politicians make millions every year, not all of them are junkies.
  Drug addiction is rife in the industry, yes, but mainly in the 'amateur' p**n that you'll find on RedTube. The shitty stuff you get for free should never be confused with the standards of an industry.

    The LA Times ran a story last year about 16 previously unknown cases of HIV in the p**n industry. It's not just STD's that are a problem, as suicide is rampant and there are also some violent deaths, such as the case this spring of the p**n star with a sword. As for Asia Carrera, well, here is a direct quote from her blog dated 4/29 of this year: "I got my 30-day sobriety chip from AA today! WOOHOO" She is to be congratulated, but I'm sure that most of the info cited, (one website said she is a college professor!) about her is exagerrated or just plain lies. CEO's, politicians and military leaders lie about their background, so why would you think p**n stars don't?

Interesting article, Greg. But what's up with the asterisks? Are you so childish that you can't fully spell out 'p**n' or 'p**nography'. Are you a closet fundamentalist who trembles in fear at using adult language? Gimme a break... Grown up and write correctly or get off Ranker and give a real adult the opportunity to write.
