Cleo Clementine says, "I have always been passionate about sex positivity and sex education. Almost everybody in the world has sex and sex is important to most people's lives, but people don't talk about it or acknowledge it, and I think that leads to uncomfortable situations. I always thought, 'Why not talk about sex? It's okay. We all do it.' The adult industry always made sense for me. I talked about doing it for years, and I finally went for it."
She shot her first scene in December 2018: "It was in Florida, for Team Skeet. Dad Crush. I played a stepdaughter." After that, she shot for Reality Kings and other companies in Florida. "It was fun. Quick and easy."
As a performer, Clementine likes the new travel experiences and meeting new people that active performing brings: "I had never been to the East Coast before I did porn. I'd always stayed in my little northwest corner, and being able to work and meet people and make money while also being able to see an alligator in the wild for the first time—that was really fun." She still lives in Seattle and commutes to Los Angeles. "Ten days at home, ten days here, back and forth. I'm probably going to move to L.A. in the coming year, but for the moment I'm traveling a lot."
She'd "love to do a gangbang" and she'd like to work with Adriana Chechik and director Bryan Gozzling: "His stuff is rough, and that's what I love about it. It's the perfect amount of rough. I'm naturally submissive, so I love watching his porn and putting myself in that position."
In the future, Clementine would like to go back to college and complete her studies: "As I've gone further in school I've realized that evolutionary biology is my true, true passion. I'd like to go back to school and do research in that." In her spare time she likes to hike, go to art museums ("My first trip to L.A., I went to the Getty. I love Van Gogh, and they have a Van Gogh painting."), take naps and read. "I'm into evolutionary biology, so a lot of science books. I learn so much. It's so cool."
