Q&A with Cami Parker

Q1: When did you enter the brothel industry?
A:
When I was 21, I was studying journalism in NYC and doing some modeling. One day, I saw Dennis Hof on the Tyra Banks Show and was fascinated—I didn’t even know legal brothels existed! Although I had no experience in the industry, I’d always been open-minded and highly sexual. On a whim, I emailed Madame Suzette out of curiosity. I didn’t expect a response since Dennis said she received hundreds of emails daily, but she replied within 24 hours.

Q2: What sparked your interest in the brothel industry?
A:
I’d never heard of the industry before seeing Dennis on TV. While I was studying journalism, I always dreamed of being featured in Playboy or Hustler. I’ve always believed women’s sexuality should be celebrated, and this seemed like the perfect avenue. I love meeting new people, creating connections, and building bonds—this industry felt like an exciting way to do all of that.

Q3: When and how did you meet the late Dennis Hof?
A:
I met Dennis on my first night at the ranch, less than a month after emailing Madame Suzette. Suzette had emailed me back quickly and thought Dennis would love me. On Thursdays, Dennis had a tradition of welcoming new and returning girls with a limo dinner party to help everyone get comfortable. I loved him right away, and it seems Suzette was right—Mommy knows best!

Q4: What principles from Dennis Hof do you still apply in today’s brothels?
A:
Dennis was a pioneer because of his brilliance and innovative ideas. Three key principles I’ve carried with me are:
“It’s not just sex, it’s an adventure.” The experience should offer meaningful connections and lifelong memories.
Make visitors feel special. Whether they party with me or not, I ensure every guest feels welcome and has a positive experience—like an adult Disneyland.
Curate custom experiences. Each client is unique, so listening and caring are crucial to understanding their needs and creating tailored sessions.

Q5: What’s one memorable experience from your career at BunnyRanch?
A:
There are countless special memories. Some of my most meaningful experiences involve helping virgins, introducing couples to new experiences, or connecting with widows in need of emotional and physical touch. Outside the brothel, highlights include attending parties at the Playboy Mansion, shooting my first Hustler centerfold, and having lunch with Larry Flynt when he personally asked me to appear in his magazine. Joining Dennis at Oxford University to discuss legalizing prostitution for the Olympics was another unforgettable moment.

Q6: How has your time on HBO’s Cathouse influenced your approach to work?
A:
Being on the show was an incredible adventure. It allowed me to present a different perspective on the industry and humanize both the workers and clients. I think people often forget we’re just normal people, though maybe a bit more special.

Q7: What advice would you offer to newcomers considering a career in the brothel industry?
A:
Think carefully if this is the right path for you. It’s not just about “enjoying sex and money”—that’s not enough. You must feel comfortable with your sexuality and have a genuine passion for creating meaningful experiences. If your focus is only on making quick money, you won’t find long-term happiness or success in this field. Both the client and the worker need to be happy—it’s not something you can fake.

Q8: How do you balance personal interests with being a courtesan?
A:
I prioritize self-care to avoid burnout. On my time off, I take vacations, spend time with my dog and family, and pursue personal goals like advancing my Yoga Instructor Certification. Time management is key to maintaining a happy, fulfilling life.

Q9: What unique qualities or experiences do you bring to your sessions?
A:
People call me “America’s Sweetheart,” and Dr. Drew once referred to me as “The Mother Theresa of Sex Workers.” I genuinely enjoy making people happy and feel honored when someone trusts me with their joy. My goal is for every client to leave happier than they arrived, and I believe my gratitude and fulfillment in spreading love truly make a difference.

Q10: What future goals do you have within the industry?
A:
I plan to stay in the industry as long as it has a place for me. The joy of spreading happiness is irreplaceable. I’m also growing my real estate business, which is an endless pursuit. For now, I hope to continue creating beautiful experiences for as long as possible.
