Off the Set
VAN NUYS, Calif. —Digital Playground adult star Jesse Jane® is featured on the cover of :
“Off the Set: Porn Stars and Their Partners”.
Releasing in April of 2010, “Off the Set” is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com .
In addition to having Jesse and her husband grace the cover of the book, they are also spotlighted in the impressive compilation of photos.
Paulie and Pauline, the photographers of the book say,
“We knew that we had the cover shot for our book the moment we released the shutter.
There’s a playfulness and joy in that image – with Rich giving Jesse an ‘airplane’ – that we think every couple can relate to.
Jesse’s beautiful smile on the cover says everything we hoped this collection of photos would say.”
Paulie and Pauline continue,
“Jesse truly represents the type of individual we felt our project was about — an accomplished porn performer who balances an ability to excel in the industry while maintaining a relationship with her partner Rich and her family. Jesse and Rich are an adorable couple and we’re so grateful they invited us into their home to try and capture their intimacy.”

The photos in “Off the Set” present a group of acutely self-aware people who, along with their partners, embrace their choices to work in porn and thrive on the solidity of their romantic relationships.
The intimacy level was on high and Jesse Jane says “It was great shooting with Paulie and Pauline! They were so nice and made the shoot fun and playful. Shooting with Rich in our home was fun and very comfortable. We had a good time – it’s easy to be goofy with your husband!”
Hit movies like Digital Playground’s bestselling “Teachers” continue to make Jesse Jane the most vibrant adult star in the world. To view the trailer of Jesse Jane’s hit movie “Teachers”
Here are some details from Amazon about this book:
Porn stars are lightning rods. In a society that both voraciously consumes pornography and virulently condemns it, pornography has always been as a divisive barometer. And in spite of the recent dialogue regarding the pornification of America, porn performers remain a group of people who are consistently pushed to the margins of our society.
A palpable hostility underlies many of the assumptions commonly held about porn stars. In particular, the pervasive condemnation that pornography is inherently dehumanizing often ends up used to actively deny porn performers their humanity. As a group, they are dismissed as inferior and incapable of many of the things valued by the public at large, among them stability, family, and loving relationships.
Photographers Paulie & Pauline stepped behind the scenes of the porn industry to take an intimate look at the private life of ten porn stars and the significant others in their lives, including Jesse Jane, Tera Patrick, Seymore Butts, Mari Possa, Kylie Ireland, Buck Angel, Nicki Hunter, and Lorelei Lee. What they discovered was not a collection of people whose work as porn performers reduced them to damaged, jaded victims who need to be rescued and rehabilitated. Instead, they found a group of acutely self-aware individuals who, along with their partners, embrace their choices to work in porn and thrive on the solidity of their romantic relationships. The photos in Off the Set attempt to capture the beauty of the genuine bonds shared by these couples. Much as if you were permitted to peer into their private journals, this collection of photos aspires to reveal their vulnerability and, most of all, their humanity.
In addition to more than 100 b/w and color photos, the book also features a forward written by sex educator Tristan Taormino, and several essays on the realities of relationships for porn performers written by the stars themselves.
A portion of the sale price of each book will be donated to the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation.
