Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia | Age: 19 | Height: 5'2" | Weight: 108 pounds | Eyes: Brown | Hair: Brunette When we first spoke to Haley Banks during the summer, she'd been in the adult business for all of three weeks, but already had five or six scenes under her belt and was ready for more—like the boy/girl/girl scene she had booked for early the following month. It'd be a real treat, she said, because although she's had sex with women in her private life, this would be her first on-camera muff-diving. "Before I got into porn, I did camming for a little while, but that just wasn't really my thing, so I wanted something more face-to-face and a little more fast-paced, so I decided to choose this as a career path," she said. "I had quit my job—I was working at a smoke shop—and so I was home a lot. So once I left my job, I still wanted to be working, but I didn't want to be doing food service or everything that I had been doing, so I started camming, and that kind of opened me up to more stuff, and then this is where it landed me." But considering that she told us that her favorite scene that she's like to do involves a "bondage insane asylum," we figure she'll be expanding her horizons beyond boy/girl or even boy/girl/girl in the near future. "My goal is to eventually, later on in my career, be doing things for Kink," Banks admitted. "I think BDSM is just more than sex, in a sense; it opens up mental boundaries that you've had. You get to experience things that you haven't experienced before, so to me, BDSM is more than some people may perceive it as, so my dream sex scene would be to do a bondage insane asylum thing, which I don't know; I always thought it would be cool to be in a straitjacket or something." Also on the (possibly far) horizon: Anal, which she's done in her personal life, "but for now, I'm holding off on my anal card." Speaking of her personal life, Banks is quite the outdoorswoman. "I definitely like hiking," she said. "Where I'm from, there's not a lot of mountains, so in California, it's kind of cool because I'm around all the mountains, and like before I go home, I'm definitely going on some hikes, which should be fun. At home, we have a bunch of waterfalls, so I like to hike to the waterfalls and things like that—and go skinnydipping." A lot of her hiking is done with her dog, Athena, but she also likes cats. However, "Birds can be a little aggressive, but I'll chill with them. Snakes, I don't really like playing with snakes but I definitely admire snakes. My favorite wild animal would have to be a tiger. They're currently extremely endangered, so I hope later on in my career I'll be able to donate to a tiger rescue or something like that." A high school dropout who recently got her GED, Banks would like to go to community college to further her education, though she doesn't yet have a major in mind. She'd also like to travel, which she hasn't done much of, possibly with the boyfriend who accompanied her to California—and she'll probably have the time for it, considering that the words she lives by are, "I will never quit, even after death." In fact, that's tattooed on her hip. "I believe in some sort of afterlife, but I don't believe we're all going to be damned for anything that we've done," she explained. "I think there's a bigger lesson." Banks is signed with ATMLA, and her Twitter handle is @haleybanksxxx. Photo above by Chris King/ReelSeduction.com.
