Nikita Denise Returns to Porn After a Three-Year Hiatus

After a three-year hiatus ... Czech-born performer Nikita Denise returned to the industry that made her famous ... Denise started working in the industry in January of 2000 ...

Nikita Denise: "I wanted to make it big. In Toronto, I began to watch a lot of porn with my ex-husband. I said to him, 'why not me?' I want to try. It wasn't for the money—I was doing very well as a stripper. It was more for the attention—to be in front of the camera. I obviously love sex and I just wanted to be famous and all that bullshit."

Denise's first scene was for Peter North's North Pole 13 ... opposite woodsman Dillon Day ...

Nikita Denise: "I wasn't nervous at all. It was so natural for me to be naked and to fuck in front of people. European girls are nastier. We are more comfortable with sex."

In 2002 ... Denise performed in 200 titles and earned the AVN award for Best Female Performer ... By 2004 she had starred in over 400 movies and decided to take some time off from the industry ...

Nikita Denise: "Everybody needs a break eventually. You think that you don't, but then it catches up with you. Then, one day, you go 'damn, I miss that. I need to come back.' I never thought about changing profession."

Denise plans on reclaiming her porn title of one of porn's nastiest performers ... but only on her terms ... She is condom-only now ...

So far this year ... Denise is starring in Wicked Pictures' Predator 2 ... Smash Pictures' Cheating Housewives 5 and Tom Byron Pictures' Lord of Asses 10 ...

Nikita Denise: "Porn is me. I needed to get back. I loved what I've done and look forward to doing it again. I'm not ready to slow down, I'm ready to go!"
