Multiple AVN Award nominee Ariana Marie told director Mason a curious tale in the opening of Hard X/O.L. Entertainment’s Super Cute about a high school boyfriend who, unfathomably exasperated with her frequent requests for sex, told her, “You should just go become a porn star.”

Little did he suspect she’d actually take his advice.

The Latina from Clearwater, Florida—a nominee for Best New Starlet in the 2015 AVN Awards—claims that the inner horn-dog of her teenage self was a side of her not many would have guessed she harbored.

“I was a little shy and quiet growing up,” Ariana said. “Hardly ever got into trouble. I never really gave my parents any reason to ever question me about what I was doing. I always had a boyfriend throughout high school and would do naughty things when my parents were asleep upstairs, but I was never caught by them.”

Evidently, her parents have a major jolt on the way. “For me to be in the adult industry is going to be a shocker to them probably, because they would never expect this from me,” Ariana said. “I’ve always been into this kind of stuff though, and I’m happy I get to be a part of something like this.”

She certainly makes no bones anymore about her raging libido. “I love being someone’s fuck doll,” she enthused.

In addition to Super Cute, her credits include a new series from Kelly Madison/Juicy, Born Flirty 3, and Wet Food 5 (Jonni Darkko/Evil Angel).

She also does not mince words when it comes to her career aspirations: “I’m determined to win awards and make a well-known name for myself. I’ll keep striving for this until I get to my goal.”

With her moxie, though, comes a dash of wide-eyed eagerness as well. “I finally found something I’m good at, and I’ll be doing it for as long as I can,” Ariana proclaimed. “Just being a part of this industry is amazing.”
