At the age of fifteen, she got her first tattoo. Three years before that, she had her first sexual experience, and it was with a boy who was one year older than her. During one interview, she explained how her adolescence was full of sexual experience, saying: “I was very promiscuous up until the time I left Ohio. I was banging everybody and having sex with all of my girlfriends, all that fun kind of stuff.”

Bonnie Rotten Career
Rotten’s first job was at a shoe store. When she turned 18, she started working at a strip club in Dayton, Ohio, as an exotic dancer. Her stage name was Dixie, and she would always wear American flag bikinis and dance only to Southern rock. Soon after she started modeling career, doing car and motorcycle shows in the Midwest. She won the Ms. Dead Indiana Beauty Pageant at the Indianapolis Days of the Dead convention, and thanks to that, the magazine Girls and Corpses noticed her and asked her to start working for them as a fetish model, which she accepted. This helped her get involved in the adult industry. In 2012, she started performing in hardcore porn shoots. The same year she got her breast done.
Two films under titles Meet Bonnie, and The Gangbang of Bonnie Rotten, which were focused entirely on her, were produced by the company Digital Sin. She is well-known in the adult industry for her ability to ejaculate, so most of her work is focused on that. She explained that she learned it from Veronica Avluv. Rotten has done about fourteen videos featured on Kink.com. Her transition from modeling to porn was made thanks to Nina Hartley.
