Shy Love, also known as Shy Luv, (born November 27, 1978[1]) is the stage name of a West German-born American pornographic actress, of Sicilian and Puerto Rican descent.[1] She has been active in the porn industry since 2003.

Early years

Love was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father, a U.S. Army soldier, was stationed. At age seven, she, her parents, and her five sisters moved to New Haven, Connecticut. According to Love, she graduated from high school at age 16 and then earned a bachelor's degree and two masters[4] She has also stated that she is a certified public accountant.[5][6]

Personal life

In a 2007 interview with Gamelink, she said her relationship with her husband was only the third real relationship with a man she had ever had, that theirs was an open relationship, and she likes to play with other women.[7]

Career

She is part-owner of a nightclub in Colorado Springs called 13 Pure; it opened in January 2008.[8] In August 2008, she worked on a controversial bisexual film directed by Chi Chi LaRue entitled Shifting Gears. LaRue coined the term "straight-for-pay" (a play on the porn industry term "gay-for-pay"), to characterize actor Blake Riley's liking his first encounter with a woman (Love).[9]

Talent Agency

In 2006 Love established her own talent agency, Adult Talent Managers,[10] and signed Memphis Monroe and Lisa Daniels as contract girls. She has said that her agency's representation of gay men in addition to women is unique in the industry.[7] In 2010, Love merged her company with another talent agency, A List Talent, to create a single agency with both adult and mainstream branches.[11] Then in 2013, she sold her interest in the company to her business partner, Mark Schechter.[11]
