Sex Industry
She entered the adult film industry, while working as a prostitute, when she was 24 years old. During her time in the sex industry, she contracted herpes and HPV, which led to cervical cancer. During and after her life in the sex industry, she battled alcohol and drug addictions. During her pornographic career, which lasted from 1993–1994, Lubben appeared in "about 30" hardcore movies, including The Cumm Brothers 3: Go to Traffic School, Used and Abused 2, and Bra Busters 2. Lubben has stated that the sex acts that women perform on film sets are physically harmful (including anal and uterus hemorrhaging), and psychologically traumatizing. In February 2011, she became the subject of a documentary entitled, The Devil and Shelley Lubben, created by porn industry advocate Michael Whiteacre. According to Mark Kernes of adult industry trade journal, AVN, the film disputes Lubben's experiences in pornography and the trauma she says can be traced to those experiences.
