Fresh Faces: Honey Gold

LOS ANGELES—Honey Gold, the vivacious, new mixed-race Spiegler Girl, tells AVN her first porn scene was unforgettable for a few reasons.

“For one it was exciting because I had never fucked anyone with more tattoos than myself,” Gold says. 

The 23-year-old native of San Francisco paired off with Small Hands for the encounter that was shot just seven weeks ago by Joanna Angel’s Burning Angel Entertainment.

“It was an automatic turn-on because most of the guys who I’ve ever dated in my life, they’ve maybe had one or two tattoos, and I’ve got them on my hands and neck so it’s kind of hardcore,” Gold continues.

“So that was something that was really exciting. And the fact that I had never fucked anyone’s husband made it more interesting for me.”

Gold even asked Joanna Angel, the founder of Burning Angel who is Small Hands’ wife, if she was ok with it all.

“So Joanna was like, ‘Yes, this is normal,’ because she understood it was my first time,” Gold says. “And there were so many different factors that made me nervous, especially since yeah we’re supposed to do a scene together and your wife is right there. It can take some getting used to.”

Gold got acclimated quick and the scene is already live on BurningAngel.com as the latest addition to the “It’s My First Time” series.

“They didn’t know what to expect from me and I was very thankful they were willing to be the first company to book me,” Gold says. “The chemistry and the dynamic in the scene is absolutely beautiful and one thing I liked about him is he allowed me to be myself because I can be very submissive, but I can also be very dominant.

“And he’s the only guy who let me smack him, ever, in my personal life or on camera. And the thrill of that was exciting. I absolutely loved it. I didn’t know I was capable of doing anything that I did during the scene until I did that scene. Like everything was just kind of carnal instinct which helped make it beautiful.”

Speaking of instinct, the 23-year-old went with her gut again in her second scene—a triple blowjob for Throated with Chloe Couture and Leigh Raven; Isiah Maxwell was the lucky recipient.

“Mind you I had never deep-throated in my life so shooting for a company called Throated I was kind of freaking out,” Gold admits.

“The day that I had to do the scene I saw how big Isiah was and I was like, ‘Hell no! No, this is not gonna work.’ But I guess in the heat of the moment when they start rolling the camera I’m able to actually go from ‘normal me’ to Honey Gold. It’s like having an alter-ego. I’m able to become someone else in front of the camera and I realized I’m able to do things that I can’t normally do in my personal life. Because I’m the type of person that wants to put forth the best possible effort that I can to make sure that it’s a good scene.

“So being that I was a deep-throat virgin—pardon me for saying this in a crude way—I took that dick down to the base! I don’t know how it happened but it happened.”

Gold took on veteran Spanish stud Ramon Nomar in her fourth sex scene, which at the time of this interview, was thus far all she had done.

“The fourth one was for Axel and I’m a huge fan of Axel Braun. I love all of his parodies. I really didn’t know what to expect because Axel thought it would be funny to tell Ramon to speak to me in Spanish the entire time,” she says.

“So that scene was absolutely amazing because it’s a lot easier to do a really great scene when somebody actually wants to fuck you and they’re not afraid to show it because I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. There’s going to be someone that won’t want to work with me and I’ll deal with that when I get there.

“But he was super excited to work with me, he was really sweet and I like the fact that he kind of has this air of confidence about him.”

She even squirted during the eventful session that will appear in Axel Braun’s Inked 3 coming soon from Wicked Pictures.

“I was able to actually orgasm multiple times because he told me a little secret,” Gold reveals. “He said it’s not always about the dick size. Sometimes you just need to get in the female’s head and that can create a really dynamic scene. And that’s what happened with that one.”

She says she had only slept with two men prior to starting her porn career.

“Girls are more than my hands and toes, but guys it’s only two. So Small Hands was number three, Ramon was number four.”

Gold says her exotic look leaves many people guessing.

“I’m half Cantonese, Black, Cherokee Indian, Mongolian and Irish. I’m pretty much Blasian,” she says. “I think I look Filipino though. … Axel Braun thought I was just Black. I get a mix of different things every time I encounter someone.”

She did various jobs before finding nude modeling, including graphic design, medical billing, working at a weed dispensary and in a fast food joint.

“I got sick of that. I was always looking for something more exciting. Because I don’t like the mundane repetitive cycle that comes with a 9 to 5,” she says. “So when I was working in medical billing I got to a point where I was so unhappy that I was going to call my boyfriend at the time—he was my fiancee—I was going to break up with him. I was going to go home and I was just going to off myself that day. Because I was just so miserable because I had everything going for me. But it didn’t bring me any satisfaction. I felt like a slave to society.

“And so I ended up calling a radio station accidentally and I won two tickets to a cruise in The Bahamas, so I took that as a godsend. So I was like you know what I’m going to hang in there. I want to see what happens but if I’m at rock bottom and I’m willing to off myself let’s just try something different and see how it works out. So a lot of people always told me you have unique features why don’t you give modeling a try?”

Gold had been approached by representatives from The Gap and American Apparel but didn’t take the next step until she created a ModelMayhem page.

“I realized I suck at modeling with clothes on,” she jokes.

So through ModelMayhem she experimented with a couple nude shoots.

“The first time I did it I was so nervous but it was the most liberating feeling in the world,” Gold recalls. “And it was empowering because I come from a household where sexuality is looked down on. Because I’m a very sexually suppressed person, believe it or not. And when I got a taste of that freedom I ran with it.”

Gold dated adult performer Donny Sins before porn and she says it was Sins who introduced her to former Spiegler Girl Skin Diamond.

“I met her at a fashion show. But he introduced me to many different girls and I had no idea that I would actually be in the industry because they would always tell me, ‘Don’t go into porn. Don’t go into porn.’ And I got curious about it,” Gold adds.

Finally, she decided to go for it, researching different agencies and reading online forums to get a feel for who’s who. She says she emailed Spiegler “on a whim” with the thought she had nothing to lose by trying.

“He emailed me back and I remember when I got that email I was just screaming in my room like oh my god this really happened! It was unbelievable because of the wait list he has and so many girls I’ve heard want to work for him,” Gold says.

When Gold got her meeting with Spiegler and he indicated he’d consider representing her, “not to be weird but I almost shit my pants on his couch.”

“It was like a dream come true because most of my life nothing good ever happened to me,” continues Gold, who ran away from home as a teen.

“I felt that was just an amazing moment that I will never forget. I’m never going to stop being grateful for that no matter if I succeed or fail. You never know what could happen to someone. I’m still going to always be thankful for that moment because someone actually gave me a chance and believed in me when a lot of people in my life weren’t like that.”

She and Spiegler didn’t make it official until the AVN White Party in January in Las Vegas.

“And for the first time in a long time in my life people actually acknowledged that I was alive in the room. It was crazy,” Gold says.

It’s impossible not to notice Gold’s creative body art that holds many different meanings to her—like the baby owl on her left shoulder.

“Have you heard about how little baby owls will fall out of the nest or get kicked out of the nest? And they either survive or die? That’s what happens to little baby owls,” Gold says. “And I got this because an owl doesn’t only represent wisdom but the fact that I kind of relate to the whole concept of being kicked out of the nest or falling out of the nest in regards to my family. And I got this as a reminder to constantly push myself and fight to survive.”

She got her first tattoo on her right forearm.

“It’s my compass rose,” Gold explains. “Because oddly enough even to this day, even when it comes to Spiegler or porn or fetish modeling, for some reason I feel like I never know where I’m going but I always end up right where I’m supposed to be.”

She has a wolf on her left hand “just because I like wolves.”

“I see myself as what I like to call at home an alpha bitch,” Gold adds. 

Then she has a tattoo of a still-blossoming rose on the upper left part of her chest.

“Most people don’t realize that it hasn’t fully blossomed because I feel like no matter how old I get I’m still learning, growing and developing,” Gold says.

On the other side of her upper chest, she has a ‘C’ in reference to her birth name “and I’m also a July baby so I’m a Cancer.”

Meanwhile, Gold has a Lotus medallion on her right shoulder.

“And everyone knows that a Lotus grows in mud. It doesn’t grow in beautiful circumstances and this relates a lot to my past because I didn’t have the best upbringing but I feel I’m still able to thrive into something beautiful despite my background and my circumstances,” she says.

Now Gold wants to take her porn career as far as she can.

“I am committing everything I have to this,” she says. “I can definitely say that there’s no going back. I thought a lot about doing this and I want to see how far I can push myself. I have the best agent in the game and I’m open-minded to wherever he’s going to steer me.

“I just want to be as successful as possible and I know that comes with a lot of hard work and motivation and I’m going to give all of that to this because that’s how passionate I am about it. So I’m in it to win it. Hopefully one day I become a nice little MILF.”
