LOS ANGELES — Rachel Steele is featured in a new article for Hustler Magazine.

In the article, titled “Mature XXX Mavens,” writer Missy Martinez interviews Steele and Lacey Starr about their experiences as MILF performers.

“I quickly grew to become very confident with the character that emerged, my sexual skills, my acting and my creating of people’s most taboo fantasies through film,” said Steele. “Making these taboo films helped me to explore my sexuality and take my power back. Dominating men is an absolute joy to me and a huge turn-on.

“There is a huge focus on age in this industry and in all acting industries,” Steele added. “We need to move away from this ageism and just focus on the talents and the art that people create. There are many opportunities for people of any gender, of any age and of any size in this industry and beyond. Stay away from anyone who tells you different; create your own product, your own brand. Be confident in who you are and where you are in life, and you will find an audience.”

“Since 2021 StopNCII.org has helped over 300,000 people create cases in the prevention of intimate images and videos from being shared online without consent,” said a rep. “StopNCII.org uses world-first, on-device hashing technology that allows those being threatened with intimate image abuse the ability to create digital fingerprints (also known as hashes) of their images.
