Jelena Jensen is an American-born Penthouse model, prominent porn actress, entrepreneur, webcam girl, and radio personality, born Monique Reising on October 7, 1981 in Los Angeles, California, United States.

She entered the adult industry in 2003 at age 21 after being approached at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo. Because she was not interested in doing hardcore, a friend suggested that she do solo stills. Jensen had her first photo shoot with Scott St. James, which was published in the August 2003 edition of Club magazine. Jelena has since been featured on numerous websites, and has been featured in every major men’s magazine, including Penthouse and eight issues to date of Playboy’s Special Editions. She then began doing softcore girl/girl scenes for studios like Digital Playground, Girlfriends Films, and Penthouse, per AVN.

After performing only softcore for over 6 years, Jensen performed her first hardcore scene for her website in 2009. The scene was a hardcore lesbian scene with Sandee Westgate. Jensen admitted she never had sex with a woman before and this would be her first. In previous interviews Jensen said she was 100% straight and knew this thanks to two bad drunken experiences with women in threesomes. Ironically, Jensen would go onto be a prolific G/G performer for the next decade, having sex with over 100 women and later identifying as bisexual. On June 22, 2009, Jelena Jensen premiered her first scene with a man on camera. All her boy/girl scenes are with her husband.
