The former sex movie worker - widely acknowledged as the world's most famous 'adult entertainment performer' - says she felt that giving up her job and covering up was the only way she could give 19-month old boys Jesse and Journey a 'normal' upbringing.
And when it comes to telling her sons what their mother's job used to be, Jenna, 36, told the December issue of W Magazine: 'I really don't think I need to say, "Mommy was a porn star".
'I feel like they're going to know me and think, Mommy loved us so much that she quit everything and made us her job.

'I thought, "I'm getting rid of these things. I don't need them anymore". The moment I decided to have children I quit. I won't even do a Maxim cover.'
Jenna is now enjoying a peaceful life in the countryside of California with partner Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, 35, after selling her $30million (£18.6million) porn empire to Playboy in 2006.
She added: 'Here, I'm not "Jenna Jameson" - I'm just one of the moms who walk[s] a double stroller every day.
'I'm a normal girl with all the same worries and insecurities. I just happen to have done porn.'
Also known as the Queen Of Porn, Jenna began acting in erotic videos in 1993 having previously done stripping and glamour modelling. The Las Vegas native became a huge success and went on to found her own business Club Jenna in 2000, which started off as a website and soon branched into making its own movies.
It was this ongoing concern she sold to Playboy, the first step towards putting her porn past behind her. Jenna however has been gradually crossing over into mainstream culture for a few years.
She's had a variety of acting roles in movies and on television, and is said to be considering a singing and acting stage career. It's been reported that she's considering making her Broadway debut in the musical Rock Of Ages. ( dailymail )
