"As I got older, I had to start watching what I ate and working out a little bit more. When I was young, I drank, I partied all night. I never smoked but I wasn't good to my body. Once I got serious, working out became a habit. Then I went through a really bad breakup and I focused even more on working out and did my first fitness show. But I had no business being onstage at that time. I was nowhere near ready in comparison to everybody else, but you have to start somewhere. I've done nine shows since then, and I've done pretty well."
Shay got into porn late in life, at least compared to the average girl. But with more and more women in their 30s, 40s and older trying porn today, age has become irrelevant. The stigmas of the past are fading away.
"I started when I was 40, so I was in my sexual prime. Uninhibited. Still exploring, but I knew my body very well. I was single. I'm still single, and it was something I definitely pre-thought. I had no one to answer to. I'm not embarrassed. Sex is a very natural thing, and people put too much emphasis on the bad of sex, but it's not bad. I love it."
