In the sensual “Good Loving,” Leana’s got the fever, and Anton Harden’s got the cure!
LOS ANGELES, Calif. / July 8, 2022) — Leana Lovings makes her eagerly-anticipated Blacked Raw debut in the sensual “Good Loving,” now in digital release.
Skillfully directed by Derek Dozer, the scene captures the rising star at her sexual peak alongside stud Anton Harden.
Leana’s a good girlfriend but she’s an even better liar. After convincing her man she’s turning in early, this fun-sized flirt hits the L.A. streets hoping to see some stars and snag a hung hookup.
“This scene was one of my most genuine in how much of a bang it was,” said Lovings. “Working with Anton was such a joy because we connected really well, and it was a night to remember. I’m so happy to see how it’s being received so far because it was a labor in/of love.”
Director Derek Dozer commented, “Leana was an absolute doll; I enjoyed her a lot actually. Don’t let her girl next door look fool you, that’s for sure. I like it when I come to set and a girl makes me go, wow she can fuck!”
Lovings treats admirers to an unparalleled level of access via her OnlyFans account, which is updated daily with images and videos that you can’t see on her public accounts.
With her popularity skyrocketing faster than gas prices, fans are invited to subscribe to Lovings’ verified Pornhub page, view her videos and check her progress.
One of the fastest-rising stars in adult entertainment, Leana Lovings was already an immensely popular webcam performer with over 200,000 followers on Chaturbate before taking the plunge into the World of X in September 2021.
She has brought her loving fan base with her and, in that short interval, the all-natural, 5-foot brunette beauty has reached the top 0.7% on OnlyFans and ascended to the top 100 adult stars on Pornhub, with over 75 million views on that platform alone.
Lovings grew up in the rural southeast, and attended university with double major in Biology and Psychology and a specialization in Neuroscience. Camming represented “a way to explore my sexuality in a safe way, while creating something that feels like a very intimate and even comforting experience for the viewer,” Lovings said.
Having been raised in a religious environment, Lovings said that “sex work healed me in a lot of ways. It taught me how to care more for myself — exercise, self care — and how to have more confidence in myself.”
The sought-after starlet has already shot around 125 scenes, for studios such as Brazzers, Reality Kings, Naughty America, Team Skeet, Bang Bros, Girlfriends Films, Cherry Pimps, Lubed, Bang.com, and many more. Her numerous Virtual Reality appearances include starring roles for industry leaders such as SexLikeReal, BangBros VR, VRBangers, VRHush, VRAllure, VR Conk and RealJamVR.
In March 2022, Lovings graced the cover of The Score Group’s iconic “18 Eighteen” magazine. She is currently the cover girl for the May issue of Hustler’s “Barely Legal” magazine.
In May, Lovings served as trophy girl at the adult industry’s X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) Awards in Hollywood, and was a featured speaker on two panels at the YNOT Summit.
By this point in the evolution of sex work, it’s not really surprising to find so many “indie” cam performers and clip artists in the upper echelons of industry rankings, rubbing elbows with models who came up through the more traditional pipeline of “get an agent, get cast, shoot pro scenes, become a star.”
It’s also not that unusual to find that a number of up-and-coming starlets in the studio system gained valuable career experience through popular camming platforms like Chaturbate.
But Leana Lovings’ meteoric success does stand out.
Ever since she started drawing attention for her studio work, which began less than a year ago, the 24-year-old Chaturbate broadcaster-turned-pro adult performer has shot up the Pornhub ratings with astonishing speed — 55 million video views to date, and the chart line keeps going steadily up.
Lovings only entered the pro side of the adult industry in September 2021, bringing along with her a fan base — built mostly through Chaturbate — that was already 200,000 strong.
By April 2022, she had cracked the Top 100 ranking on Pornhub, landing on Page Two of a crowded throng of nearly every other porn performer in the world. A few weeks later, at the time of this writing, she is hovering around No. 65, in the immediate neighborhood of much, much more established and industry-acclaimed names such as Blake Blossom, Lulu Chu, Kenzie Reeves, Janice Griffith and Gina Valentina .
In that respect, she resembles Evie Elfie, the Russian clip artist who surprised many industry observers by quickly shooting up to the very top of the Pornhub rankings and lodged herself in its uppermost echelons for the last few years and counting. She is No. 3 at the time of this writing.
But unlike Elfie, who has found it difficult to translate her immensely popular work in the cams-and-clips ecosystem into a bona fide studio career, Lovings is well on her way to achieving just that. She has sought the advice of experienced industry figures to help her craft and execute a plan that would allow her to make that jump. Propelled by her rock-solid work ethic and determination, forged in the ultra-competitive arena of camming, she is already reaping encouraging results.
Lovings’ scientific bent compelled her to thoroughly research her entrance into the pro side of the industry. Although she had been pondering the world of porn since her earliest experiences with camming, she waited four years to dive in, with a research-readied road map factoring in what she calls her “calculations.”
She also made her dedicated fans a clear and present factor in the transition, inviting them along to be part of her “journey” into pro porn and chronicling her rise through the more interactive camming and premium fan platforms.
“Take your fans on that ride,” she advises other cam and clip models aiming to make the jump into studio work.
Less than a year later, Lovings has put in the time and paid the proverbial dues, racking up over 120 shoots for top studios such as Brazzers, Reality Kings, Naughty America, Team Skeet, Bang Bros, Girlfriends Films, Cherry Pimps, Lubed and Bang.com. Using the skills developed through camming to create the ultimate illusion of “girl-next-door, GFE intimacy,” Lovings also carved a niche for herself as a specialized VR performer with studios like SexLikeReal, BangBros VR, VRBangers, VRHush, VRAllure, VR Conk and RealJamVR.
Earlier this month, she came to Hollywood to serve as one of the trophy girls, aka “Heart-On Girls,” for the XRCO Awards, and hit another traditional, career-making mark by securing the cover of Hustler’s iconic younger-looking performer brand, “Barely Legal” magazine.
One of her earliest scenes — “But I Have A Girlfriend Now,” co-starring Johnny Love and shot for Gamma’s MyPervyFamily imprint — became a breakaway hit on VOD platforms. She held the No. 1 spot on AdultEmpire’s popularity rankings, calculated with input from both fans and industry figures, for several weeks.
“I still can’t believe that one of my very first porn videos blew up so quickly and has maintained that momentum,” Lovings said through a press release. “I never would have expected one of my first videos to have that kind of success given my overwhelming inexperience.”
The “overwhelming inexperience” comment is deceptive, though. It is tricky to describe how she comes off in person without resorting to cringey “starlet profile” clichés like “mature,” “poised” or “articulate.” But Lovings actually is all of those things, plus very smart and quite experienced.
XBIZ caught up with her during the XBIZ Miami 2022 industry conference. Her official biography states that Lovings grew up “in the rural Southeast,” and she has spoken of a severely conservative and religious upbringing that had the unintended, yet all too common, effect of encouraging a fixation on her sexuality.
Before switching to full-time sex work via camming and clip making — she’s also top 0.7% on OnlyFans — Lovings attended university and pursued a double major in biology and psychology, with a specialization in neuroscience. The draw of camming was not only monetary for her; Lovings has stated that it represented a safe way to explore her sexuality “while creating something that feels like a very intimate and even comforting experience for the viewer.”
“Sex work healed me in a lot of ways,” she also said. “It taught me how to care more for myself — exercise, self care — and how to have more confidence in myself.”
“I started Chaturbate almost five years ago, when I was 19,” she tells XBIZ in a characteristic thoughtful, measured and polite tone. “I started out with very gentle sexual exploration — just masturbating. My very first stream I was wearing an overall and a white T-shirt and I was hugging a teddy bear. It was very plain, I was just talking to my fans; I didn’t get naked. I just sort of built that courage up into it.”
After several months of buildup, Lovings first realized that she actually had fans.
“I received fan art online, a portrait,” she recalls. “That was the real marker for me, when I realized that I had a presence: ‘I’ve inspired people to create art!’ That was very moving for me.”
Her fans “stick around quite consistently,” she says, noting that her Chaturbate channel moderator, named Vinyl, has been with her from the very beginning.
“I maintain those relationships,” Lovings explains. “Sometimes they disappear for a bit, but they come back. There’s always renewed interest on how I have changed.”
The idea of “the journey” is a concept that Lovings revisited frequently during her XBIZ interview.
“I see myself as the ‘girl-next-door’ type taking her fans on a journey of self-sexual exploration, with all of the avenues and caveats that that may include,” she says. “I really see it as an experience where I can also give my fans a ‘girlfriend experience,’ very intimate and in-close contact with them — still always over a computer screen, but something where I personalize all of my content to make it feel like I’m really speaking to them as a person,” she adds.
Like many savvy performers of her generation, Lovings did her due diligence by studying genres and brands, deliberately keeping her personal and professional goals in sight.
“Before I got into camming, I would watch Chaturbate streams to figure out what my niche was going to be, what my style was going to be, who I wanted to be while I was exploring my sexuality,” she explains.
But when it came to studio porn, she adds, she was “living vicariously through other porn stars and directors.” She calls Mike Quasar “a really big inspiration” whose work made her think, “Wow, I wanna be able to work with people in the industry that are like that.”
“When I think about the people in the industry that inspire me,” Lovings says, “I was looking at performers like Elena Koshka and her very wild, unbridled creativity. I love what she does so much. She does such a great variety of scenes, and I would like to do that.”
Lovings acknowledges she and Koshka are different physical types, which she sees as a branding opportunity.
“Overall, I definitely have some general niches I fit into,” she points out. “I fit into ‘girl-next-door.’ I obviously fit into a lot of the ‘stepsister’ content, and a lot of the ‘younger’ content in general. But there’s so much variability within that. And I’d like to show that I have a lot of variability within my acting ability that allows me to range in a variety of roles.”
Loving says that through her porn shoots she has discovered a talent for acting, especially for improv, that was “entirely unexpected.”
“I think camming contributed to that because it gave me an edge in my career that I would not have had otherwise,” she muses. “It gave me the experience to anticipate something that my fans would like, even without the live feedback of a stream.”
The dual idea of sex work as both a lucrative business and also her personal “journey of exploration” is central to the extraordinary drive that rewarded Lovings with a faster-than-usual rise up the rankings.
“I grew up extremely sheltered,” she explains. “I was afraid of my own body. And I wanted to be able to understand it and really get so intimate with it that I would never have that feeling again. And I feel so confident now. Before I got into camming I had a very strong lack of confidence, but the presence of my fans and their support through this entire journey has been something that has lifted me up. I appreciate them every step of the way.”
She eloquently describes the moment she chose sex work as nothing remotely like a search for kicks or thrills, but as “a shift in paradigms,” a shift in her own personal beliefs and what she values most within herself.
“When I found my own internal philosophies, I started debating and questioning my family’s very strong religious beliefs,” she says. “I had been taught that masturbation was bad and that it was ‘unsafe.’ And suddenly I saw that there was this whole world of people who were embracing their bodies as something that they weren’t afraid of.”
The paradigm shift, however, is still rooted in a kind of baked-in reticence and love for tradition. She conveys a certain quality in her demeanor and thoughtfulness that would make her very popular if she ever chose to work with Japanese studios.
Lovings lights up at the suggestion.
“I really love Japan,” she beams, and shares childhood tales of neighbors Yoko and Hiro who owned a sushi restaurant, and offered her and her siblings hospitality.
“Yoko and Hiro, to me, were inspirations in their generosity and their kindness and they really piqued my interest in Japanese culture,” she says. “Later on, as I started developing my internal philosophy, I found a very strong interest in Japanese shrines, particularly. I think they are so interesting, and the preservation of traditional Japanese culture is so cool. Of course, I watched anime and things like that, but it hasn’t influenced my interest in traditional Japanese culture. They are two very separate things. I don’t use anime as a reference for how I understand Japanese people.”
Lovings has only recently started traveling abroad, but instead of wild tales from Amsterdam and Cancún, two of her three recent destinations, she talks about the “awe-inspiring landscapes” of Northern Ireland’s Mamore Gap, a European version of her favorite Japanese shrines.
“I fell in love with Northern Ireland when I was there,” she shares with open delight. ”Everywhere you go in Ireland is special. They say the grass is always greener, but I think in Ireland it’s definitely greener!”
As her XBIZ interview concludes and Lovings steps away from the Sagamore Hotel pool, where the XBIZ Miami revelry is heating up, it’s clear a very real thirst for experience, knowledge and intellectual engagement lies behind the costumes and scenarios when Lovings is asked to embody the “nerdy stepsister” with big glasses.
“I started college and I had to stop,” she says. “I was in the process of getting my degree, and at some point I realized I was earning a substantial amount of money through camming and there was a great opportunity and potential for my future.
“I saw the potential in my journey in sex work and where it could go — and I’m very glad I stuck to it.”
