DNA: What brought you to porn?
Alex Mecum: I was a university student and didn’t like the idea of student loans. The winter semester of 2015 was especially hard. I’d quit my full-time work and took up a bunch of part-time jobs to keep afloat. That, on top of maintaining a relationship and attending to my studies, was a lot of work and I was not prepared for the time after finals when I would lose my jobs for the summer. I had money in savings but I hated spending more than I made so I was definitely on a downward trend. I had interest in doing porn. I was somewhat of an exhibitionist, during the semester my boyfriend had filmed for Sean Cody, and I had meddled a little a couple of years prior doing a few solo videos. My agent found me on Twitter and suggested filming. I automatically voiced my interest.
