She lacked a full-time manager, and the one she had also lived in BFE at the time. An honorable person, he did what he could on a part-time basis, but he dealt with constant pressure to put Tenaya in the much more easy to book, “BG” scenes. He was new at the game, and lacked the experience necessary to play turn down the volume of the constant noise like that all of us in the manager business must suffer. Eventually, Tenaya agreed.

As with all breakups, who broke up with whom would be a matter of some debate, but we can tell you without exception that the story “My girlfriend has sex with other beautiful women” on camera tends to be a whole lot easier to take than the “My girlfriend has sex with other dudes” variation on that theme. One’s friends can be an unforgiving audience.
Dating porn stars can be a taxing endeavor — in a few ways, honestly. Take one to Vegas for the weekend, and you will likely remember the trip for a very long time. Take one home to mom, and those memories can get more than a little muddled.

Soon after these overtly male adventures, Tenaya left the business entirely. We were not around her at the specific moment of that decision, but we have remained friendly since. The boyfriend never did return, although getting new ones has never seemed to be much of an issue. (Imagine that.) And although deciding not to get an education in the Army Medical Corps (because it turns out they “get up really, really early” every day), Tenaya has nevertheless managed to focus on a career where she continues to help people, albeit in less explicit ways.
