Nautica Thorn (born June 13, 1984, in Waipahu, Hawai'i) is an American pornographic actress.
Thorn's ethnicity is half Japanese, a quarter Puerto Rican, and a quarter Hawaiian. Her mother works as a secretary, and her father is in the construction business. Thorn revealed that she lost her virginity at the age of fourteen. Growing up in Hawaii, her first job was as a promotion and marketing person for a record company at fourteen. At sixteen, she relocated to California. After she turned eighteen, she began working as a stripper. Shortly afterwards an agent gave her his card. Spurred by this act, Thorn went from dancing to nude modelling, followed by masturbation scenes and later hardcore sex. Initially she worked an aggressive schedule of film bookings, working every day. She says about that pace "it just killed me" and that she "kept on getting torn and yeast infections." She now limits herself to just five or six shoots a month. Thorn is a cast member of the Fox Network reality TV show My Bare Lady. She was also briefly featured as a lap dancer in the mainstream Hollywood film, Knocked Up.
