Catching Up With Ivy Wolfe Interview: She’s Back!
It’s always disappointing when a favorite pornstar retires or takes an extended hiatus. You miss seeing their latest releases and hearing about their exciting new projects. Ivy Wolfe fans had reason to celebrate when the star recently announced that she’s back in business! In this new Adult Empire interview with the star, she discusses her comeback and 2021 plans.
What prompted your performing hiatus?
I needed a moment to step back and heal, I absolutely love the adult industry and it’s been very good to me. But I knew that I wanted to give it my best, and I needed time to heal some things from my past and truly take that time before I could continue to give my best.
What in turn made you mount a comeback?
I always figured I may come back eventually, I wanted to keep growing my name, and come back to an industry that had expanded and helped me rip chains of shame off of me so well. I missed it. I missed everything about it. And once I was mentally and physically healthy again, there’s nothing that could keep me away.
What did you learn about yourself during your hiatus?
I learned I had a habit of abandoning myself in search of approval from others. I learned that it stemmed from childhood. I learned how much I really loved and cared for myself, and it was reflected in my decision to, at the peak of my climbing career, choosing the healing of my heart and soul instead of success. Choosing Me. I stopped abandoning myself in exchange for success. Which I think is far too normalized in our society, it doesn’t matter what industry you are in or what you are doing. And I realized my deepest success was going to come from loving myself.
Talk about your collaboration with Vixen Media Group.
We have decided to collab on some scenes for a big comeback for me, which is deeply exciting for me. I love every single member of every crew so deeply, and I feel so deeply aligned with the artistic vision of this company and all its branches.
Do you think your performance style has changed since your hiatus?
I don’t know if my performance style could ever deeply change that much. I think I’ll always be the intense girl I was. I think I’ve definitely expanded to be able to do more but I think I’ll always have that in my toolbox, and will always be a huge part of who I am. When I perform, when I’m in front of the camera, it’s the deepest part of me that finally gets to come out. I’m no longer “too intense” I’m celebrated for it, for my animalistic sexuality. Me and the camera are best friends.
What type of scenes do you enjoy performing in most?
To be honest I don’t have a preference, it’s all just as pleasurable to me. I really enjoy scenes I feel like I’m encouraged to deeply connect. I feel like that carries such passion into the scene.
Who haven’t you worked with yet in the industry but would like to in the future?
I haven’t worked with Emily Willis, and I’ve had my eyes on her from the beginning. We have the same agency and I just adore her attitude. She’s gorgeous and seated on her throne. She’s incredible. I’d also love to work with Adriana Chechik. That woman is a gorgeous animal of royalty with a heart of gold and I just adore that. I’ve also had my eyes on Kenzie Anne, who I just can’t root for enough. She’s so genuine, beautiful, goofy, gracious, regal, I’m definitely a fan.
What’s something you are nostalgic about?
I think the early 1900’s really inspires me musically. There’s something about the vocals, the instrument arrangements that reaches into my soul and puts me in a sexy jazz bar seducing everyone.
You’re also a singer and songwriter. Tell us about that side of your art!
Yes, I am! It’s a huge hidden part of who I am. It’s been a journey of shedding a lot of fear. So much “will I be taken seriously as a pornstar?” And I’ve realized I don’t care. This is what I love to do. What I do behind closed doors and besides my scenes and healing, what I pour my heart into. And that’s all that matters. I am an individual with a message about shame and sexuality. And I hope to break through many barriers with my music. But, to be honest, it’s for me. My music is for me. It’s what makes me happy. It’s how I get to bleed my heart out, and express myself in all the ways that heal me. I do all genres. Excited to release things soon and begin the beautifully terrifying journey of vulnerably exposing myself. I wanted to align it timing wise with releasing new adult films. My favorite thing to do musically is to freestyle, or I call it streamlining. Where you have no idea what’s going to come out, what’s going to happen, but you take that leap of faith and you open your mouth and trust. You just jump. And that’s how I feel I’ve lived my life and that’s how I create my music. That’s how the best songs I’ve written have come to be.
As a musician, do you find yourself paying particular attention to the way music is used in porn?
I don’t actually, but that’s a fantastic idea! LOL!
What does a typical day in the life of Ivy Wolfe look like?
I wake up, meditate, vitamins, green juice, protein shake, work out, and then do music for an hour or two. Then I do any adult stuff I need to do, shoot if I’m going to, etc.
You recently tweeted that you were banned on Tinder. Gianna Dior and others have had similar experiences. Do you think adult performers face prejudicial treatment on dating apps?
I think honestly I have no idea. I think we face prejudice in general, and I think it’s hilarious and ridiculous and angers me when I see my fellow performers going through difficulties because of it. I try to maintain a positive attitude and not let it stop me. It’s part of my mission is to really show we are people, who make art, who have families. To eliminate the thought that sex is to be hidden, and that sexual beings can only be sexual beings and not full well rounded human beings. It’s so telling of how our society sees sexuality in general, based on our treatment of sex workers.
What advice would you give someone looking to join the adult industry?
Stay in touch with your heart. Stay Humble. Nothing, no-one, and no amount of success is worth more then your happiness, wholeness, and healing. In reality, your honoring of yourself, and others, will bring you more success then anything else. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
What are your plans for 2021 and beyond?
I am releasing my big comeback scenes this year, slowly coming back into this industry I adore. Focusing on my music and vulnerably sharing more deeply. Lots in store and you’ll just have to stay tuned 😉 Thank you for having me and giving me an opportunity to share myself.
