Laying Layton Benton

In some ways porn seems like an odd choice for Layton Benton, who grew up a self-described tomboy around San Francisco Bay. The 22-year-old of mixed Dominican, Puerto Rican, and African-American heritage hated wearing "feminine" tokens like heels or sexy underwear. The first time Benton had her bust measured she cried because she didn't like being touched by a strange woman. Unlike many adult models who dabble in exotic dancing or webcaming before jumping into shooting hardcore sex scenes, Benton worked at Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, and Radio Shack. Of course she also had a well deserved reputation in high school for banging all the hot jocks, so maybe her profession wasn't all that surprising. Despite her sexually adventurous nature, porn brought many firsts for Benton. Among other things she discovered that she not only likes women to touch her chest, she enjoys fucking them as well. Having shot over 50 scenes for companies like Hustler, Digital Playground, Evil Angel, Reality Kings, and Penthouse, Benton was recently honored with a Best New Starlet nomination at the 2014 AVNs. I caught up with her at Exxxotica in Ft. Lauderdale.

Is it true you’re available for anal scenes but your ass hasn't been booked yet?

Yeah. I want my first anal scene to be with Elegant Angel or Mason or Mike Adriano. I’m a really big fan of Mason. Hard X is just so beautiful. Mike Adriano is very intense and I feel like the scene would be absolutely amazing. Elegant Angel, they are just elegant and classy. I want my first anal to be very elegant and classy.

So it's not because studios are afraid of your huge ass?

No. It’s funny because I actually enjoy using anal plugs. At the end of the day it just feels really good. I cum ten times harder with something else inside me.

I was a hot mess. I never really wore lingerie or any of that sexy stuff. It wasn’t my thing. I was more of a tomboy. Lingerie scared me.

Scared you like you would walk into Victoria’s Secret and freak out?

I did. I cried when I got my boobs measured once. I didn’t want a lady touching me. Now I love girls, but at the time, I was not into it.

You’re okay with your boobs being touched now?

You can go ahead and grab one if you’d like. They are just sitting there.

Do you get paired more with black of white performers?

I’d say white performers. I think interracial is just more popular.

When you get a facial, do you have to throw away your fake eyelashes?

I reuse eyelashes, but not cum-covered eyelashes.

I’ve always been told you should never touch a black woman's hair. Is that true?

Yeah. I don’t like my hair touched.

When you do a facial, do you freak out if some gets in your hair?

Yeah. I am so sensitive about my hair. If they grab my hair during sex, that’s fine, but don’t just walk up to me and touch my hair. It’s weird. It takes so long for me to do my hair and I have very thick hair. If someone messes with my hair, I’m mad.

I went to the ATM one day and tried to withdraw some money. The machine told me to go see a teller and the teller told me my account had been closed. I had just gotten my nails done and I had to pay for them. So I’m freaking out. They said they closed my bank account because it was a risk. I was like, “A risk of what?” I don’t do anything illegal. I’m not a drug dealer. Yeah I do porn, but how did they figure that out. Basically they said they wanted to prevent fraudulent activity and they didn’t want to have me as a customer anymore.

So they didn't just take one look at your ass and say, "She’s definitely a porn star"?

I don’t know. They probably watched one of my porns to make sure.

They probably watched several back to back.

Then they said I couldn’t have my money for ten days. I was crying in the bank. It was my only bank account. I put all my money in that account. I can’t just not have money because they decided to close my account. Finally they agreed to give me all my money. That was that… I’ve decided that I want to settle something with them before I take legal action. I’m not just going to let it fly. Also I have a ding on my credit because of it. I can’t open up another bank account because of it. Hopefully they will just settle without causing more drama.

What nerdy tech skills do you have from working at Radio Shack? Do you know how to jailbreak a cellphone?

I don’t know how to jailbreak a cellphone, but I’m really smart when it comes to cellphones. I used to be in the top of my district when it came to cellphone sales and service plans. I became a supervisor at Radio Shack. Before that I was a manager at Wal-Mart in Plano, Texas. All the people I used to work with are so surprised that I do porn.

I read somewhere that in high school you were very promiscuous, so I don’t imagine your former classmates would be surprised.

None of them are surprised. All the people I went to high school with are just like, “We knew she would.” I used to mess around with the football team.

No, not the whole football team. I would mess with one football player, and then another, and then another, and then there was the basketball team. I was the basketball manager. I was having sex with two of them and they didn’t know it.

In high school, when a girl is a manager of a boy’s sports team, what’s the odds she's sleeping with one or more of the players?

Pretty good. You get to look at their sweaty bodies jumping up and down, and I love balls

Why balls?

Because I can play with them.

What do you look for in balls?

I don’t like small ones, the kind I have to look for. I like the ones I can rub around like stress relievers, like those Chinese balls.

Do you have a pay site yet?

Not yet. I’m going to wait a bit to do my site so I can do it right. But I plan to have a clips4sale in the mean time because my fans have been asking when I’m going to have a site.

What do you think fans contact you about most?

Usually webcamming and skype shows.

Oh yeah they love that stuff. A lot of my fans request custom videos of my ass worshiping scenes, my face sitting scenes, my feet.

Do you ever worry about suffocating your partner in an ass-worshiping scene?

That’s funny because I did an interview with Evil Angel, and I did a face-sitting thing during the interview and his contact came out.

He was interviewing you while you were smothering his face?

Yes, and his contact came out.

What else should guys be cautious about when sleeping with you, or fucking you on camera, other than losing their contacts?

They need to make sure they have stamina and a lot of energy because I will leave you wanting to go to sleep. I’ll put you to bed.

Have you ever shot a scene then fallen asleep right afterward on set?

Yeah. The best sleep is after you cum.
