Bisexual, 21-year-old Sasha Grey has crammed more sex into her three short years doing porn than most.
When she started back in 2006, she was pegged as the “next Jenna Jameson.” Since then, her career has eclipsed all predictions. She’s made 189 films and counting, and has won a number of adult awards, including four AVN awards. She even hit the mainstream this year with her role as an escort in Steven Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience,” which screened at the Sundance Film Festival. (Watch the trailer here.)
