Seka Black, a 70-year-old ex-accountant, has embarked on an exciting new journey as an adult content creator, working alongside her 23-year-old daughter, Nessi. While they do not collaborate directly, they support each other through their pursuit in their careers. Despite the sensitive nature of their work, Seka and Nessi maintain clear boundaries, demonstrating their mutual respect and understanding.

From Accounting to Adult Entertainment

Seka Black spent decades working as an accountant before entering the adult industry. She retired from her conventional career and decided to explore new opportunities with her husband. The couple became involved in the swinging lifestyle, which eventually led to adult content creation. Seka transitioned from corporate spreadsheets to explicit videos, finding unexpected fulfillment in her new career. Her husband actively participates in her work, serving as her video photographer and editor.

“I retired from accounting and now we’re having fun,” Seka explained in a YouTube video discussing their careers, saying her career change came later in life. Seka has appeared in many adult films for major studios and on OnlyFans. She was recently nominated for the AVN Awards, known as the “Oscars of porn.” The 2025 AVN Awards took place on January 25 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Although she didn’t win Niche Performer of the Year, her nomination was a significant recognition.

Discovery During a Family Trip

Seka’s daughter Nessi unexpectedly discovered her mother’s second career in adult entertainment during a family vacation. Nessi accidentally stumbled upon explicit pictures on her mother’s phone whilst at Disneyland. Nessi gradually deduced her mother’s profession from a collection of pictures and various hints. While the discovery was entirely unexpected, Nessi’s response differed from what one might expect.

“It was the last thing in my head I thought you would be doing,” Nessi admitted in the video. However, instead of showing disgust or disapproval, she showed interest and curiosity towards her mother’s secret profession. Nessi revealed that she had always been interested in adult entertainment, but she was cautious about getting involved too early. Learning about her mother’s career helped her see the industry as more normal. Nessi felt comforted knowing someone she trusted had successfully navigated the controversy.

Following in Maternal Footsteps

Nessi started exploring adult content creation through webcamming when she turned 18. At first, she was cautious, testing the waters without fully committing. By around age 20, she chose to pursue it more seriously. Unlike her mother, who entered the industry later, Nessi began her career in her early twenties. This decision led her to leave her job at a condominium management company to focus entirely on her new career OnlyFans.

“I wasn’t happy with my job at the condo so I was like, ‘I’m just gonna try OnlyFans,’” Nessi explained. Her mother lovingly encouraged her when Nessi first talked about the opportunity. Seka and her husband were supportive and had no objections to their daughter’s choice to create adult content. The family’s open and accepting attitude towards sexuality made the transition smoother for Nessi compared to many other creators. Her parents even attempted to give helpful advice, though occasional technological gaps between generations sometimes made communication a bit difficult.

Professional Preparation Before the Plunge

Nessi took practical steps to ensure financial security before fully committing to adult content creation. She and her fiancé attended trade school to develop marketable skills outside the industry. This preparation provided a safety net if she decided to leave adult entertainment later.

Me and my fiancé went to trade school and developed other skills before we jumped into this,” Nessi said. Her fiancé is very supportive and involved in her content creation, much like Seka’s husband’s participation. The couple happily shares that their relationship has grown stronger since they left their traditional jobs. They enjoy less stress and more flexible schedules now. As Nessi’s OnlyFans income has increased, their financial situation has also improved beyond what it was before.

Family Support and Collaboration

Seka eagerly supported her daughter, Nessi, as she began her content-creation journey. While she acknowledged that younger people often have a natural talent for social media and technology, she admitted they face challenges due to varying levels of tech skill. Instead, Seka provides her with guidance on the business aspects of adult entertainment, sharing her wisdom and experience to aid Nessi’s success.

“At that time we were even trying to help you with advice!” Seka said to Nessi during their video. “But this younger generation are better at the technology than what we are.” The mother-daughter duo assists each other in distinct ways based on their respective strengths. Nessi manages her mother’s social media presence and helps with digital marketing strategies. Seka provides guidance on negotiating rates, understanding contracts, and managing industry relationships. Their collaboration remains strictly behind-the-scenes, without creating explicit content together.

Navigating Awkward Situations

Nessi acknowledges that it can be awkward when her mother’s fans reach out to her via social media. Some fans learn of their family connection and message Nessi about Seka’s content. This attention from her mother’s fanbase is an unforeseen consequence of their shared career. Nevertheless, Nessi has learned to handle these interactions as part of her work in adult entertainment.

Seka has gained a large following in the niche for mature performers. Her age sets her apart in an industry focused on youth. The “MILF” and mature categories have grown on platforms like OnlyFans. Older performers challenge societal views on aging and sexuality, showing there’s demand for performers beyond traditional beauty standards.

The Business of OnlyFans

OnlyFans has really changed the landscape of adult entertainment by connecting creators directly with their fans, cutting out the middlemen. It hosts an impressive 4.19 million creators exploring all sorts of categories. While some stories highlight big earnings, the reality for most is modest; the average monthly income is about $150 to $180 across the board. Of course, top creators like Seka and Nessi do earn quite a bit more thanks to their dedication and savvy marketing, showing that passion and persistence really pay off.

In 2023, the platform added 936,000 new creator accounts, a 29.4% increase. Women make up about 70% of creators, while men make up 30%. OnlyFans earned $6.6 billion in revenue from more than 305 million fan accounts that year. The platform transformed adult entertainment by removing gatekeepers who once regulated performer access. Creators now have more control over their content, pricing, and personal branding than traditional studios.

Breaking Generational Stereotypes

Seka’s career challenges societal norms regarding age, sexuality, and what is considered acceptable for older women. Usually, women over 65 are expected to shy away from sexuality and public displays of sensuality. Her ongoing involvement in adult entertainment at age 70 boldly defies these limiting stereotypes. At the AVN Awards red carpet, Seka wore a sparkling ruby-red gown, making a statement. Her participation in industry events helps normalize sexuality at any age, rather than confining it.

The adult entertainment industry has historically prioritized youth, particularly for female performers. Male performers often work into their 40s and 50s without facing age-related career obstacles. Female performers traditionally faced shorter careers with fewer opportunities as they aged. However, niche markets for mature performers have expanded significantly with the rise of independent platforms. Performers like Seka demonstrate that audience demand exists beyond conventional beauty standards centered on youth.

No Plans for Retirement

When asked about leaving the adult entertainment industry, Seka shared that she does not plan to retire anytime soon. She hopes to keep performing for at least another 5 years, health permitting. Seka prefers to take her career one day at a time rather than sticking to strict long-term plans.

“I let each day come and go and I just wing it!” Seka said regarding her career longevity. Her ongoing enthusiasm for her work keeps her motivated, not just for money. While many performers burn out or lose interest over time, Seka stays engaged. Her positive outlook on aging and sexuality probably helps her maintain career satisfaction. She has also invested a lot of time in expanding her video stores and planning future projects.

Industry Recognition and Legitimacy

The AVN Awards are the top honors in the adult entertainment industry, recognizing outstanding work. The 42nd ceremony was held on January 25, 2025, featuring hundreds of categories. Winners are celebrated in a manner similar to mainstream awards such as the Oscars or the Grammys. Nonetheless, the event highlights work often overlooked or stigmatized by mainstream media. Performers, directors, studios, and technical staff compete in many specialized categories.

Seka’s nomination in the Niche Performer of the Year category recognized her impressive work in mature content. Although Cruel Reell took home the award at the 2025 ceremony at Virgin Hotels, it highlights the thriving talent within the industry. Other highlights included Anna Claire Clouds earning Female Performer of the Year, Vince Karter winning Male Performer of the Year, and Brittney Kade being honored as Trans Performer of the Year. The event was a celebration of both industry votes and fan choices across a variety of performance categories, making it a truly special occasion.

Challenging Social Stigma

Adult entertainment continues to be heavily stigmatized despite generating multi-billion-dollar revenue and attracting millions of consumers. Performers often encounter discrimination in housing, banking, and other services once their profession is disclosed. Many creators conceal their work from family members out of fear of judgment or rejection. Seka and Nessi’s openness about their careers is notable for the level of family acceptance it reflects. Their public discussions serve to challenge the shame usually linked to sex work.

The family’s comfort in talking about their work helps to see adult content creation as a normal job. But this open attitude also makes them vulnerable to criticism from opponents of adult entertainment. Conservative religious groups and anti-pornography activists see their work as morally wrong, no matter the consent involved. Seka and Nessi’s readiness to do interviews shows they are confident in their careers. They describe their work as a legitimate business, not something shameful to hide.

Conclusion

Seka continues to expand her influence in the adult industry through new projects and strategic content efforts. She has dedicated considerable effort to growing her video stores and planning future releases. Her AVN Award nomination was a significant milestone, highlighting her years of hard work and reputation-building. Seka’s sustained industry success contradicts the notion that careers in adult entertainment must decline by middle age. Her accomplishments inspire other performers seeking long-term careers in the field industry.

Nessi continues to build her own fan base and develop her unique brand separate from her mother. Her early career path indicates potential for long-term success if she stays consistent with content creation. However, the future of OnlyFans careers remains uncertain as platform policies and market saturation change. Both women face persistent challenges from social stigma, policy shifts, and unpredictable income. Their story demonstrates how family support can help navigate the complexities of a controversial and demanding industry.
