Absolute Mayhem: Secret Confessions of a Porn Star
So begins the no-holds-barred autobiography of Monica Mayhem—a porn star and proud of it. In her funny and disarmingly candid voice, she reveals the ins and outs of making it big in Los Angeles, the pornography capital of the world. Just how did a girl who was taunted at school because her eyes were “too big,” and who carved out a respectable career for herself trading oil futures in the financial markets of Sydney and London, go on to make over four hundred hardcore adult movies (and counting), win numerous industry awards, and even land herself a role in the first Sex and the City movie? From her troubled childhood to her first show at the famous Spearmint Rhino in London to her favorite sex toys, Monica reveals how she built her empire—which now includes hundreds of films, a website, and lucrative burlesque performances.
Absolute Mayhem lifts the lid on the sex, rock, and mayhem of Monica’s truly extraordinary professional life and unveils the private person behind it all.

Excellent book. I give this book 5 stars.

Wow, I didn't expect this to be at all readable, and it turned out to be not bad at all. I actually kinda liked it. It might even be the pr0n chick book to beat. (Which is not to say that you necessarily need to read a book by a pr0n chick.) I read about 3/4 (i.e. about 500 pages of 700 pages total) of Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Pr0n Star, and I didn't like it as much. (One of these days I'll probably still finish it.) It seemed to gloss over a lot of the things you'd really want to know about Jenna Jameson. It's more useful as full-on display of psychosis, what with its ridonkulous design and page after page filled with such obvious lies. Absolute Mayhem is the book you'd hope some pr0n chick would write. It's straight up reportage about how a chick ends up slobbing on a knob like corn on the cob for a living and all of the terrible/fantastic things that happen to you in that line of work. The only parts that seem untrue are the parts where she worked at a stockbroker in Australia and then England at the age of like 15. She may have once been in that line of work (she seems genuinely somewhat intelligent, emphasis on somewhat), but she was probably like 22. I think what she did is went through and subtracted at least five years from her age at every stage in this story, so we wouldn't know she's like 56. Because she spent a lot of her $2k/day pr0n chick salary on blow, and it's still not clear what she's going to do when she gets too old for even MILF work.

pure garbage.
poorly written, poorly edited, and just poor in general. The author doesn't really provide a cohesive narrative and often jumps around and contradicts herself (esp. when it comes to keeping dates straight).
it reads like every conversation you've ever had with that really crazy girl in high school you were trying to bang before she dropped out.
seriously, total crap. i'm debating getting mad at Amazon and asking for a refund.

I am always interested in why a woman would choose a career in porn or stripping when it is so degrading and dangerous. I pretty much learned that Monica had a bad childhood and was physically abused by her mom and loved feeling wanted and desirable by men which she got by doing porn. She talks about being scared every month waiting for STD and HIV tests to come back as well as numerous other revolting sex acts ( urination and a foot inside someone's vagina!!! WTF!) that had me just shaking my head and just asking "why?". She also considers her job to be an important one which I found kind of humerous. Ok......So if you have ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes or porn terminology (cream pies anyone?) you will get definitely get educated! it was a light and entertaining read.

It got two stars for the few gossipy tidbits thrown in this ego stroking (no pun intended) book. According to the author she has low self esteem yet spews *ahem* how talented she is in nearly every paragraph. She is the best model, the best porn star, the best singer yet she can't understand why she didn't win this award or that award or can't get a record deal. How dare anyone consider her a whore yet will "star" in a movie with the word whore in the title. How she is so wonderful at spoken word than other porn performers so she should be a mainstream Hollywood actress. Her big starring role in the Sex And The City movie was a character with no name (just Dante's girlfriend).
Yawn. If you can get past the bad writing, bad editing and self love *ahem* then this book is for you.

This was a surprisingly well-done book. It kept my attention and I read it in one day. Towards the end it got a little repetitive with her yearning to be loved and wanted like a normal person, and her dreams, but it was overall entertaining, interesting, and showed a real human behind the porn star.

Boy, this was BAD. You wouldn't expect to be bored by a porn star autobiography but this book lacked any real substance and the writing was pretty terrible. If you're looking for juicy stories about famous people, you won't find that here--no names are mentioned. The only people I'd recommend this book to would be hardcore fans of the author and her movies.

Wow! This is one blunt, graphic, tell-it-like-it-is memoir. Monica is one smart, confident woman. She was born in Australia in 1978 to an abusive, pill-popping, alcohol addicted mother and absentee father. She grew up feeling unloved and unwanted. She has found success in a tough business and has achieved so much at a young age. She’s brutally honest with everything she talks about, including her continued drug use. She seems to have a really positive attitude and one helluva sense of humor.
This book was a true A-read. If, like me, complete honesty and openness is what you want in a memoir, this is a book you should read. I truly wish Monica the best and hope she continues to have a positive attitude.

I found this book to be a really entertaining, informative read. Monica is very honest about her life and the porn industry. She doesn't make it sound glamourous, she just tells it like it is from her point of view as an actress. I can appreciate that. It is at times pretty graphic which doesn't bother me, but be forewarned. I didn't give this book 4 or 5 stars because the writing is very elementary, and the flow of the book is kind of awkward. One minute she talking about creampies and orgies, the next her life as a Wiccan? She also tries to make porn sound like a more important job than it really is and there were many times in the book when I thought it could have ended, but she kept going on with more randomness. She also brags about herself quite a bit, but on the other end, she admits to having low self esteem sometimes so maybe the bragging is some sort of self actualization tool.
Anyway, I would recommend this for anyone interested in reading first hand accounts of people in the sex industry. All others probably wouldn't be that interested.

I would like to give this 3.5 stars. This book went in and out of being disappointing and being pretty good. I actually almost stopped reading after the first 50 pages or so. I blame bad writing and the usual lack of ability to honestly report in books like these. She wrote with so much subtext ( using these as though her side comments didn't qualify for the original sentence or paragraph) which was crap because most of the time she should have just wrote fluidly. I don't feel she did the best job with her back story, writing about childhood dramas (but then throwing in a side comment about how much she loved sex) these parts to be an obvious sell to the male reading who wants to feel validated that they "aren't hurting anybody when they watch porn".
When she wrote about the porn industry later in the book, I feel she did a better job. but I don't know, I'm bored talking about this woman.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A PORN STAR IS A BIT OUTSIDE THE REALM OF MY NORMAL READING MATERIAL BUT THIS WAS A KINDLE FREEBIE SO I GAVE IT A SHOT THINKING THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LEARN. THE FIRST HALF OF THE BOOK WAS FAIRLY INTERESTING..THE AUTHOR'S CHILDHOOD, THE ROAD SHE TRAVELED TO ARRIVE AT THIS CAREER CHOICE, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ACTRESS, MODEL, DANCER, AND WANNA-BE ROCKSTAR...HOW SHE EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY DEALS WITH HER LIFESTYLE. THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK DRAGGED OUT...I GUESS THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH THAT CAN BE SAID WITHOUT IT BECOMING REDUNDANT. WAS INTERESTED TO READ THAT THE AUTHOR IS A WICCAN AND USES HER RELIGION TO CENTER HERSELF. INTERESTING TOO, ARE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS SHE MARKETS HERSELF AND HER TALENTS AND THE VARIOUS MEDIA INVOLVED IN MAKING MONEY IN THIS INDUSTRY. GIVE HER EXTRA POINTS FOR TELLING WHAT FELT LIKE AN HONEST STORY DESPITE MANY DEGRADING AND HUMILIATING MOMENTS.

This wasn't a bad book, it just wasn't great. There are probably better biographies out there and although I haven't read a lot of biographies I think that this is in the mediocre range.
That said, I found myself actually like Monica Mayhem as a person, the book just wasn't there. I think that she's led a very interesting life but it should have been written differently, maybe organized differently. The two star rating is more a reflection of the quality of the book and the writing style, not so much the content.
Why did I read this - I saw a girl on a plane to Bangkok walking off with a hardback copy of this book and it looked interesting from the cover, enough so that I remembered it anyway. Not going to go seeking out other biographies of adult entertainers based on this book though which is a shame because I absolutely love erotica as a genre of writing.

Monica is down to earth in this book and talks in plain language. Her co-writer puts all the actions and feelings she has experienced into excellent words that actully visual not only the more ruanchy parts but gives u a realistic look inside the corporate workings of this world, private emotions of monica's world and pit falls of this very grueling hard working, hard to be successful business of porn.
I just cant put this book down!
Now when ever i watch a porn flick, i dont see what i use to see i only see hardworking actresses and actors doing a job. And man, a hard job that must be, i couldnt do it.

A very easy read, but a very interesting read. My favorite parts were when she talked about the weirdest things she had to do on set and the part where she discussed her Wiccan religion, of which I hardly knew anything about. She's obviously not the same as every other porn star, but she's very intelligent and business savvy and isn't denying how she makes her money. She's a porn star and she's okay with it. She has her demons just like everyone else, but her particular struggles influenced how she got where she is, which just so happens to be an adult entertainer. Good for you Monica....keep on lovin!

Nothing special to see here; the book is a quick read and isn't high prose. But it's fun, and Monica seems like a decent enough person, who enjoys her life and her job. The writing isn't that great - the story is a bit scattered at times, and the sentences choppy - but the flip side of that is that it reads more like a dialogue, which kinda makes me want to just meet and chat with Monica :)

Got it as a Kindle deal a while back. Always wondered what made people get into porn. Entertaining at times, a little to gross (she goes into explicit detail about scenes from her career) and mostly self promotion. Not bad for a filler book when you can't find anything else to read but not one I'd recommend either.
April 24, 2014
She may be a good porn actress, but she is not a writer. Poorly written, badly edited - it jumps all over the place for no apparent reasons. It had the potential to be a great read - she's obviously a very interesting woman with a lot of great stories to tell, she just doesn't do a great job of telling them. It's a shame really as I was looking forward to reading her story.
October 23, 2013
Book was okay, not as good as some of the other autobiographies I've read. Like others have mentioned, she does jump around a lot with her stories and it lacks a certain cohesiveness. However, I find her to be a very normal person who just happens to work in porn.
August 13, 2016
This memoir is simply written and not that shocking compared to similar memoirs. I'm glad, however, that I read it because Monica talks about how the porn industry doesn't give residuals for future use of scenes; well, Monica, the publishing industry does!
August 29, 2015
This book was all over the place. The timeline was all wonky and made the story disjointed. She seemed desperate to find a job and a boyfriend in this book. Her story overall was interesting, but not well told.

August 1, 2011Not the best book out there. Her thoughts are pretty scattered and don't really follow any logical pattern.
"How to Make Love Like A Porn Star" is a far better read.

was a .99 book from Amazon. I want my money back. Just horribly written. No redeeming qualities.
December 13, 2013
This was...disapointing. It wasn't a tell all, it wasn't graphic, and it wasn't well written. It came across as a diary of a self-indulgent, immature girl.
December 11, 2013
Must admit I didn't finish it. Lots of information about the industry but not great at making you want to read more.
May 20, 2017
interesting ! Her book is incredibly insightful and HONEST. I loved that she was honest about the industry and didn't glamourize it like most do.

*Free w/ Audible trial* 3/5 - Monica Mayhem popped most in porn 2002-2005 but had an 8yr run. Asa Akira’s memoirs are better or cover many of the same things, so this audiobook is decent but improved by Monica’s Australian accent. Looking like a stereotypical blowup doll, w/ ‘80s hair and makeup, Monica has done 400+ pornos. Ironic how sweet her voice and present day is, being she was an alcoholic gang member (mostly vandalism) at 12, kicked out of home after her mom hits her for running away and doing drugs instead of starving alongside her. When her mom did cook with the welfare money she didn’t use to treat herself, she’d be so wasted, she’d make dinner multiple times, forgetting she already made food. This pill-popping mom is mean beyond measure, perpetually miserable despite all her push-over husband provides or tries to pace over being politely quiet.
By 16, Monica does scantily-clad promotional work for bar raffles or car washes, which she credits getting her start in porn, because it made her comfortable with her body. Then she had many jobs, including great early ones like brokering and real estate economic estimations! Monica admits she’s always trying to run from her past in Brisbane and seeking male attention because her mom always ignored her and kept her from her father. She starts stripping at the Spearmint Rhino in NY, which requires wearing long, sheer gowns to look classier between dances.
Dancing in London, the men have to keep a six foot distance. Porn later becomes the favorite of the two because she loves sex and the virtual distance from consumers. Neither of us realized there would be AVN reviewers, one of which negatively critiques every one of her scenes. Thankfully, she doesn’t find it or the awards affect her career much; fans have their types of girls and stick to them. Her most unique scene is a long, Matrix-inspired porn where she plays a slow-mo robot—though she also was in a video with Eddie VanHalen, who directed and scored.
She gets her boobs done as soon as her career kicks off, which causes the worst pain of her life yet more confidence. They look cartoonish but drop after a year and slowly shrink over time. She says it costs her $2K a month to maintain her appearance with kickboxing classes, makeup, hair, lingerie, essential oils, tanning, massages, acupuncture, and whatever maintained makes you less sore from all the psychical and flexible activity.
She got into porn in the States to afford retiring in Sydney. In 2010, she leaves porn due to aging out in her 30s and wanting to try singing rock music. She’s done a cameo in Sex in the City where she’s just a moaning neighbor and got paid 3x she would for porn. At the start of her gonzo days, she got $1400 a blowbang vs. today’s $400 for a one- guy oral, as professional studio porn dies. Another downside of the industry is that many contracts allow companies to repackage stars’ images without permission—or some just do, even if it’s mean-spirited or an ugly shot. Though many girls aspire to be under an exclusive contract with one studio because it’s a guaranteed set income no matter how many things they actually appear in, the studio may own your stage name forever and prevent you from even changing your hair. Lots of girls do drugs at every lull in a shoot, too, so there’s a big problem in L.A. with flakey, deceptive, or simply bad people.
When she tried cam girling, she was disturbed by requests for scat, inserting panties in herself, and putting her foot up to the ankle of another girl’s vagina (the last of which she did with an unusually loose girl)! Being pretty tight herself, she has sex dolls or herself for sale. The molding process to get her bits right she said felt surprisingly arousing, tingly cold.
The last bit of the book, she discusses being a Wiccan who casts healing spells, sweeps away bad energy with a broom, and believes any good or bad act you do will come back to you three times. That part is a bit silly but all well-intentioned, like gimmicky comfort rituals. Googling shows after the book is published, she quits porn, marries an army-man, but I do not know how her music career went. Though mention is made to constantly writing pretty good lyrics and collaborating with Korn producers, it seemed too often she wasn’t taken seriously by lascivious men and strung out women to maintain her hardcore all-girl band.

Book 49 of 2021 (audiobook)
Okay, so I forgot to review this a month or so ago. More like I was afraid to review this particular book from a work computer. Lol too many "hot" words that might draw attention.
As I've mentioned in other reviews, I do not see the point in reading a memoir/autobiography/biography about the humdrum. Well, Ms. Mayhem would definitely qualify as one with a story to tell. Did she tell it? Partly.
It claims to be a no-holds barred look behind the scenes at the porn world. There is some of that, but there is a whole lot of flittiness over journalism. I was nearly turned off when she went cliche and claims she's probably a porn star because her mother called her a bad name once.
Without any judgment, I was interested in an actual story. While she tells of her own life, that's not really the interesting part. What about all the no-holds barred stuff? I'm interested how a shoot goes down versus how the finished product is consumed by viewers. Surely more could have been written about working through some AIDS scares. What is a typical day on set like? Just so, so many questions that would have actually been interesting to read about from first-hand experience. No doubt those stories exist. I've read some, listened to some. But I thought maybe this would be a one-stop shop for a journalistic look at the ins and outs of the business.
Instead, some of the stuff presented seems to be almost more for shock value. Sorry, I picked up your book. No shocks here. And the beginning is some lame writing...how a set looked marvelous. Well tell me why and how it looked marvelous! But it was just interesting to keep it going to the finish line (I would call it the money shot but it was a little lackluster) and I wish the actress well.

Absolute mess would be a better title. "Monica Mayhem," the fake-named porn star, tries to blame everyone else in her world for all of her bad choices and weak career. She certainly had a rough upbringing, if you can believe what she writes: her mom was a raging alcoholic and her long absent dad finally agreed to let her live with him when she was a teenager. How does she reward family for their positive support? She turns into a run-away drug-taking and drinking rebel by age 14 that likes to sleep around. Most of her life becomes bad choices.
No surprise she drops out of school by age 16 and starts lying about her age in order to get work in very adult places. She tries to convince us how smart she is by getting promoted at financial institutions but I don't buy it--she does nothing but praise herself in this book while condemning everyone around her for the bad things that happen to her that are usually of her own making.
She stumbles into the porn career from "modeling" and does have some good inside information on how porn is made and how much money she got paid, but there's not much here worth reading. Every chapter is her celebrating her partying drug lifestyle or her willingness to allow herself to be used by men. By the time she devotes an entire chapter to her "spirituality" of being a wiccan (yes, she a wiccan) and following a personal shaman, I realized she was a lost case and not serious about learning anything about life from her mistakes.
Skip it. Read Tera Patrick's book instead, which has much more content and much less of Monica's mayhem.

Well, this was not great. Didn't know who she was before I read it, just thought the subject matter sounded interesting. I'll just sum up my problems with it by saying the narrator was kind of unlikeable. Both her personality and her star persona both came off a bit too braggadocios and the result was although it was supposed to be an autobiography it ended up reading more like a long magazine article with her sharing stories that put her in a good light. There were plenty of statements putting down other girls in the industry while kind of minimizing her own drug use and poor choices. There's also only kind of surface level descriptions of some of the stuff that she ended up doing (she'll mention she did a scene, then give a one sentence description of what that entails) and then move on to something else. Comparatively, she spent seemingly the longest chapter in the book talking about the Wicka religion.
