About this ebook

How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, the mega-bestselling memoir, triumphant survival story, and cautionary tale that spent over six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and rocketed adult film icon Jenna Jameson into the mainstream spotlight, is now in paperback and ebook for the very first time. Her unforgettable memoir, written with master storyteller Neil Strauss, is many things at once: a shocking sexual history; an insider's guide to the secret workings of the billion-dollar adult-film industry; and a gripping thriller that probes deep into Jameson's dark past. With never-before-seen photographs from Jenna's private collection, exclusive photos taken for this book, and original cartoon strips, this memoir is an unparalleled exploration of sexual freedom.

In the underbelly of Las Vegas, a cesspool of warring biker gangs and seedy strip clubs, gawky, brace-faced Jenna Massoli was transformed into the bombshell Jenna Jameson. Today, Jenna is the biggest star in the history of adult movies, consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful women alive. But behind the glamour and the meteoric rise to fame was a path paved with tragedy and heartbreak. As a teenager—drawn into a dark and chaotic world where rape, abuse, and murder were commonplace—Jenna began her rapid downward spiral of addiction and degradation . . . while at the same time becoming the porn world's biggest crossover success story.

Ratings and reviews

In enjoyed reading this autobiographical account of the life of Jenna Jameson. She has enlightened my life on by featuring on various pornographic DVDs and I wanted to know what inspired her to become an adult movie star. I am pleased with this autobiography and would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the adult entertainment industry. She gives her views on her fellow models, actresses, contemporaries, performers and friends. This is the first real book I have read written by a porn star and found it very easy reading, lighthearted in tone and composition. The photographs in the book are not tasteless but enlighten the subject matter.

It's quite a fantastic tale in which we follow Jenna's life. We feel her anger, pain and finally love. Everyone will find something in this book that speaks to them. I have been recommending this book and I'll continue to do so.

Wow! Simply amazing! Jenna's story is unreal and hard to believe at some points but it's all true! I enjoyed every minute I spent reading this book. It's just as good as Lisa Ann's "The Life" and maybe even better because Jenna's life was so wild; I would compare her life with Jordan Belfort in terms of craziness! Jenna Jameson tells it all in the book and it really is an amazing read! You will find yourself feeling sad, happy, excited, nostalgic, confused, sick to your stomach, and above all you will find yourself cheering for Jenna to make it! It's a must read! Jenna Jameson's life deserves to be made into a big movie!
