According to OC Weekly, Jensen's parents were "groupies" who met at the Rainbow Bar and Grill in West Hollywood, California.[3] She was raised partly by her grandparents: Ken, a retired truck driver, and Erica, a housewife who grew up in Nazi Germany.[3]
While still in college, Jensen started working as a product and marketing manager for a pornographic DVD retail website.[6] She says she was approached at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in 2003 with the suggestion to model nude, which she soon began doing as her sole occupation.[2] Her first nude modeling appearance was in Club magazine.[1] Jensen had originally planned to continue modeling for a year to pay off her student debt.[6] She later decided to launch a website featuring her own adult films.[5] In 2009, she added hardcore pornography to her website.[7]
