RYAN KEELY: EARLY LIFE
As a kid, Ryan Keely studied in theater. When she turned 18 years, Keely moved to San Diego, California, United States. She started her career in the adult film industry at age 18.
RYAN KEELY CAREER
In her January 2016 interview, Ryan Keely has described herself as 'the weird girl'. According to her,
"I was the weird girl. I hung out by myself in the library, or with the stoners and the burnouts. But I also did theater and hung out with other theater kids, dated them as well. Some of my early boyfriends may or may not have been straight...I was a HUGE porn fan before I got into the industry. The first porn I really got into was Dreamquest".
After moving to California, Keely started working at the Hustler Hollywood adult video store. Not only this, she also worked as a porn shop employee, a production assistant and a production manager. Keely also had her own show on radio for about 2 years. She started performing in explicit hardcore movies in 2006. She has appeared in big brands such as Girlfriends Films, Evil Angel, Hustler, Zero Tolerance and Wicked Pictures.
Ryan explained,
"When I was 18, I got a job in a porn store in San Diego, mostly for the discount...You can't be good at porn if you aren't passionate about what you do. I started performing because I wasn't seeing enough content with real orgasms. So I decided to cum hard on camera".
Over the years, Ryan Keely performed in many adult films and won many awards.
Most notably, she wrote a sex and dating advice column for the Penthouse Forum "The Dirty Details".
According to her,
"I look really hard and try to find a focused, all-inclusive answer that can help people through the majority of the situation. I always encourage people to follow up...I'm not perfect and the best part of my column is that it's always pushing me to learn about things that I wouldn't necessarily know about on my own. I have an extensive collection of sex education books. I ask other experts as well to come up with a solid answer. That's what I love about my column...
People are more comfortable talking about a sex act, it doesn't mean that they're actually more comfortable with the sex act. I feel that a lot of people are putting on a big show about talking about sexuality when they're not as comfortable with it as they like people to believe they are. I think that's caused by a large rift in the sex education system and the sexuality on TV. What's really inspired me in my sex education and in the great books that I've read is to connect sexuality with spirituality and I believe that's a message that's not being taught anywhere...
Sex is an incredibly intense and incredibly spiritual experience. Very few people scream out God's name anywhere except in the bedroom. No matter what high power or lack of a high power you believe in, it's a moving experience, and one that can shake you to your core. Treating it like something that's cheap, I don't think necessarily respects the act in the way that it should be. Although I am no longer a Catholic and currently claim Atheism as my religion, I was raised Catholic and I was raised in the Catholic tradition. One of the things I loved about going to Catholic school and Catholic sex education is that they taught the reason that you abstain until marriage is that your sexuality is such an amazing, powerful gift that it shouldn't be cheapened by throwing it around. And it was so spiritual and so intense that it should only be shared with one special person. Clearly I don't believe that by being an adult performer. 😊 I do think that there's some truth in the fact that our sexuality is a special gift and should be respected".
According to her,
"I've always taught sex ed. I'm definitely self-educated. I haven't seen fit to go to college yet. I'm much more interested in an honorary degree than earning one. (laughs) I started working with women and couples at a very early age in San Diego where part of my job was being exceptionally knowledgeable on all of the sex products and books on the market and learning to apply that knowledge to each individual couple. From that, my passion and interest has always grown and remained solid. The past year, just because of popular request, seeing my body of work, Penthouse asked me to write the column, which I now do exclusively. I sold my company doing seminars because I don't have time, but I'd love to go back and do that in the future...
I love dealing with individuals on a one-on-one, face-to-face basis. And as much as I love doing my column I don't get enough interaction with people with highly specific problems. Sometimes a sex problem takes more than thirteen hundred to fifteen hundred words I have of column space".
