Bob All-Star Member 5516 Posts 3/03	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 6:03PM Dear Katja, Over the past six years, I've enjoyed both your on-screen performances and your intelligent and insightful contributions to ADT. Thanks for taking the time to say goodbye and to share with us your thoughts and plans for your future. You will be missed by your fans and admirers, but not forgotten. Change is good. I wish you all the best in this next phase of your life. Sincerely, Bob [Link]
BAS Member 343 Posts 9/08	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 6:06PM Katja Thanks for all the great scenes and for letting us know about your plans. You've been a great pleasure to watch on screen, and when I bought your discs I always knew that I'd get what I paid for. Good luck with your new life. The things that made you so successful in porn will undoubtedly make you successful in what you do next. [Link]
killbillvol69 All-Star Member ^Lucy Pinder 18631 Posts 4/08	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 7:20PM Dearest Katja, thank you so much for all the pleasure you've brought me over the past few years. You're truly an icon in the biz, and I'll miss you. But I'm glad you're making a decision which will make you happy, and I wish you the best in this next chapter of your life. Cheers. [Link]
10000 days Deactivated User Keep on trolling. What a bullshit! Im fucking unstoppable now ... 717 Posts 3/06	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 7:38PM Good luck to you, Katja. You were always amazing in your scenes, and eloquent in your communications here. I just hope that you won't be a total stranger to these forums in the future! It seems like you have few regrets from your time spent in the biz, and that is commendable in my book. [Link]

KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 7:42PM I don't have regrets about anything. All I am saying is that working as a porn star comes with some issues that you will have to deal with and my priorities have changed now. I decided that I am not willing to deal with those issues anymore. That doesn't mean that I have regrets as far as the past goes. I am just lucky enough to have options and to be able to just make this decision. And I am making the decision because I do not want to wake up one day and have regrets. [Link]

Click to expand Katja I don't know you other than being a fan. I'll tell you,I was very impressed that one you took the time to discuss something that is apparently personal to you. So whether you have changed because its personal or you need to go another direction in life. That is your decision and nobody on this board should be able to question it.You got into this business freely and your going to leave it the same way. Again not knowing your personally, I'm impressed with the way you did this and think you be successful in what you want to do.Don't let the naysayers and speculators bother you. You doing what right for you. And I think that is very cool. [Link]

Joel Member 331 Posts 5/05	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 9:37PM Hey Katja, I have read many of your posts - above all...you seem really nice, so I genuinely hope you find success/happiness in whatever you pursue next. I hope you'll still occasionally post on here. There are not enough good things to say regarding the last 7 years! I thought u were a fantastic performer... u certainly gave it everything. The fact you lasted 7 years is testament to that! I wish you the best. [Link]

It is something to be proud of actually - that you're ready to do the hard thing of walking away and starting over. I hope you serve as a role model for others in the business whose heart is not in it any longer. (Not saying yours isn't) My point being that there can be a rewarding successful life outside the business. And to stay in when you don't feel you belong there, is self destructive not only to yourself, but to the industry as a whole. Congratulations on your decision. You will be missed on many levels.

wraithlead Member 264 Posts 12/08	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 10:16PM I didn't have time to read everything, but still want to add to whatever support has been said cause you deserve it all. I was never one of the fans who got to AEE, etc., but even without that, good luck on future stuff. I really did enjoy your work, but I hope you enjoy the next seven years even more like you said. Hopefully you can add most of your fans to the list of people who owe you not 'judgement' but 'beer for good times'... One of the best parts of this site is talking to people who like the life, so your good-natured goodbye is really welcome to me. Wind at your back, and all that, :) [Link]
Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03	Posted - Nov 23 2009 : 10:27PM Hard to believe it's been six years since Katja showed up here. Do any of the old-timers remember that photo of her where she was thigh-deep in a swimming pool, looking back over her shoulder at the camera? It was the first one, or at least one of the first ones, that got all of us to drooling over the Kassin Kaboose. I think all we had were links to external photos back then; I've tried to search for references to it in old Katja threads, but I haven't had any luck finding it. Spiegler's Honorably Withdrawn Spiegler Girl page doesn't have any Katja photos. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, and has a copy of that photo, please post it; I'd really like to see it again. Katja, congratulations on making enough money to buy a house, further congratulations on actually spending said money on a house, and good luck with the next phase of your life, whatever you end up doing.

Everett Senior Member 2088 Posts 6/05	Posted - Nov 24 2009 : 12:37PM the heading is sad. Like a death or something. I was just thinking the other day of starting a 'whats up with Katja Kassin' thread. I just logged on to this thread. Good luck to you Katja and may you be healthy and happy in all the roads of lif e you travel. You adorned so many great box covers in the last seven years, I'll always remember those. [Link]
SUCKER4NICETITS Member MY FUTURE WIFE MADISON IVY 810 Posts 5/07	Posted - Nov 24 2009 : 1:22PM Katja, What a wonderful post. You will be missed in the industry for your intelligence, class, grace and looks. Good luck and I know you will be asuccess in anything you do. [Link]
seedfeeder Member My balls are full, who's hungry? 716 Posts 4/09	Posted - Nov 24 2009 : 3:29PM Katja, Why don't you consider real estate? You're sharp enough, it's all about organization and it's usually pretty easy and relatively cheap to get a license. You can make a lot of money doing it and you could still use your looks to your advantage... I know I'd call a hot looking realtor over a so-so one lol. Anyway, just a thought as I think you'd be good at it, it's a fast transition, and there is good $ potential in it. [Link]
drkush Member 90 Posts 11/09	Posted - Nov 25 2009 : 12:46AM Well darlin, all good things have to come to and end sometime. You have given us some great movies that we'll be wanking off to for many years. I hope you at least mostly enjoyed the ride and got some good money saved up from it. Go back to college and get a degree and you should do fine in life, some people will always hate on you for your past. But I think ten years from now no one will care and you'll be a lengend from the days of DVD's. Good luck to you in whatever you do and hope that you are happy, I'm sure I'll shed a tear next time I masturbate to you.... [Link]

mr_banks Member 322 Posts 6/05	Posted - Nov 25 2009 : 2:32PM This was a kind gesture to your fans Katja, but more than that it was an articulate and honest piece of writing & I'd like to thank and congratulate you for it. The fact is you have been an amazing success. If there is one thing you must achieve in life it is to be a specialist at something. Only that can separate you from the masses & if you follow your instincts it will also bring you happiness. I hope you can locate the next thing in your life & wish you well with it. In the meantime you can be sure that we will be enjoying your amazing work of the last 7 years for a while yet...! Best mr_banks [Link]
KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03	Posted - Nov 25 2009 : 2:33PM This has nothing to do with the release of the "9 to 5" documentary in Germany and my family didn't have any problems with it at all. They went through that 7 years ago but they got used to it in the mean time. I hate people making things up. The reason is that I am just happy where I am in my life right now and I want it to stay that way. I've got my house, I got no debts, no big bills to pay and I am just looking for a new challenge. I do not want to pay the price that you pay for fucking for money anymore because I don't have to. I got what I wanted out of it. That's the main reason. and I do not care what people post on the internet, I do not check my wikipedia page ever so I didn't even know there was something going on. I do not care if people find my escort site. I don't care if somebody has something to say about it. I don't feel bad for anything I have done, I am not ashamed of myself and I don't have a problem. The opposite is the case. I am really happy at the moment and that is my motivation. [Link]
KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03	Posted - Nov 25 2009 : 2:35PM and one more thing: I am fortunate enough to have the total support of my family. If I wanted to stay in the business or if I want to retire from it - my mom, my dad and my siblings are on my side. They want the best for me and they trust the decision I make for myself. [Link]
Riograndeler Senior Member 1033 Posts 11/08	Posted - Nov 25 2009 : 6:46PM Thanks, Katja! Porn is very good entertainment for many people. Your work made them happy! Great respect for you! Good luck! [Link]

Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03	Posted - Nov 26 2009 : 9:53PM Katja Kassin's accomplishments and contributions to the business during her tenure are truly immeasurable and too numerous to list. Regardless of what I or anyone else has ever said, it's a fact that Katja is a bright and undoubtedly sexy woman who will go far in whatever it is she chooses to do with the rest of her days and in my eyes, will always be remembered as one of the few women who escaped this business with her dignity and sanity intact and used the business instead of letting it use her. Godspeed, Katja and all the best. [Link]

Sepp New Member 1 Posts 11/09	Posted - Nov 29 2009 : 7:31AM Hallo Katja, ich erlaube mir mal in diesem Forum auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Ich kann mich noch an Deine Anfaenge in Leipzig durch die Ausstrahlung von Wahre Liebe Sendungen erinnern und Deine ersten Schritte in LA bei Dru Barrymore. Schon damals fand ich das Du ein sehr interessanter Mensch bist und das Du wie ich auch aus dem Osten kommst, hat bestimmt in einem grossen Rahmen dazu beigetragen. Deine Szenen in Brazzers waren die besten die ich gesehen habe (vor allem wenn Du deutsch gesprochen hast) und jetzt wo Du nicht mehr dabei bist, werde ich mich auch nicht mehr dort anmelden. Zu Deinem neuen Lebensabschnitt sage ich mal, das wird schon alles klappen. Wie waer’s denn mit einem Forum oder einer Plattform auf youtube oder moechtest Du den Kontakt komplett abbrechen? Wenn nicht eigenes Forum, dann lass bitte immer mal was von Dir hoeren. Das waere echt nett. Ich moechte an dieser Stelle auch nicht Auf Wiedersehen sagen oder Tschues, das hoert sich immer so an als wenn man sich nie wieder sieht, sondern einfach bis spaeter. Schoene Gruesse von Ruegen Sepp p.s. ein kleines Feedback von Dir auf deutsch waere echt klasse [Link]

hb2002 New Member 4 Posts 11/05	Posted - Dec 2 2009 : 12:08AM Hi Katja, This goodbye message was a superior example of what you've always been. An extremely rarely person that I am sure all your fans will miss! The kind of professional behavior that you've always shown during past 7 yrs is simply amazing. It is a great gesture that you've let all of us know that you are retiring now and the words you have found couldn't be better said. All the best for you and for the future. I am convinced that you'll be as successful as you have been during the past 7 yrs by simply being the best! Good luck! Hanse [Link]

tialing Member http://www.tialing.com 495 Posts 4/07	Posted - Dec 8 2009 : 10:36PM KatjaKassin wrote: Hello everybody, I wanted to take the time to thank everybody in the porn industry and also my fans for the support over the last (almost) 7 years. I decided 2 weeks ago to retire from the adult industry and from sex/adult work in general. The reason is that I have done all that there is to do in the porn/adult/stripper/escort universe. This year I have finally bought my own house in the SF Valley, a fixer upper foreclosure that I renovated. I remember in March 2003 when I first came to the US with 200 bucks in my pocket (in the year 2010 I can apply for citizenship) - I have come a very far way since then and now I just want to make sure that in another 7 years I can look back and still say that, "wow, have I come a long way in the past 7 years". I am very grateful for everything that I have gained by being in this industry. It has taught me a lot about myself, made me a lot of money, got me a lot of free time, made it possible for me to achieve what I wanted to do in almost a blink of an eye compared to how long it takes regular people to to the same. I have met amazing friends and had many good times. But also of course you gain a little, you loose a little so there is a price that I paid for that. I will always have that past. I will always have to deal with judgments until I die. I will have to explain myself to new people I meet and their families. Now is the time in my life where the gain-loose priorities change. I have put the gains to good use in my life and now I am looking at the other side of the calculation and I am realizing I have grown up and moved into a different direction. When you are 23 you don't give a fuck about much. You are hating on your parents anyway, you think you don't need anyone and people talking shit about you makes you feel more important. Now that I am 30 years old it does matter to me what people think of me because I owe it to myself to create different, new things that I can be judged by. Next time my mom goes to get her hair done I don't want her to have to lie anymore. I want her to say with a proud tone in her voice: "my daughter teaches German classes in L.A." or whatever it is I am doing. I don't want to feel uncomfortable in relationships anymore because of what I do. It is hard for any man to date a porn star, even maybe after you retire. But it is simply impossible to have a relationship while you are making a living fucking other people. It's been a great ride and a part of my life that I will always look back to with no regrets and lots of funny, weird and crazy stories. It was something that was fun and fit into my life at a younger age but now I want different things for myself. It was part of my journey and made me who I am today but when I look forward I do not see myself sucking and fucking to pay my mortgage. I see myself working a job that maybe doesn't pay insane amounts of money but that fulfills me and takes care of my bills that need to be paid. I see myself enjoying a routine, showing up at the same office or place of employment every day at the same time. I see myself building new, stable relationships. I see myself taking on new responsibilities, committing to one person, getting married, starting a family together, making cup cakes and carving pumpkins for Thanksgiving with my kids. I know I don't owe anyone any kind of explanation at all but it was important to me to make this statement to show you my reasons. I have been known in the industry for being professional, reliable, on time and organized and these things haven't changed so since I am looking for a new challenge and a new job if anyone has any offers or suggestions for me I can be reached at meetkatja@gmail.com - I am very good working at an office desk but also organizing production and I am a good camera girl too. Thanks again to everybody and especially to Mark Spiegler. Mark, I know you don't realized it, maybe because I have never told you so, but I owe a lot to you. You were a great mentor and teacher to me and I am still thinking about what you would say in some situations in my life when I need advice. Thanks for your guidance! I will forever be grateful for having had you in my life at some point. Thanks to all my co stars. There won't be any juicy remarks now because I have always looked at working with you all as this: work and I think this is why many of you liked shooting with me. I've never been a big attention whore and loved reading people's comments on how great I am but if you have something good to say about me, if you have enjoyed my work over the last 7 years, please let me know. This is the time and place to do it! I have been looking forward to this very day when I would be writing this statement and now I am very happy but also crying. It's always hard to leave something you know you're good at. kisses Katja Click to expand It was great working with you Kajta ! Best of luck to you with everything ! Tia Ling [Link]

Jordan1 Member Fishing, a fun hobby! 490 Posts 7/08	Posted - Dec 9 2009 : 4:05PM Katja, I don’t know how I didn’t see this until now. What is absolutely baffling to me is how well written your post is, especially since you were not born in the U.S or England etc., and English is a second language for you. Did you study English while growing up in Germany? I enjoy many of your scenes, and wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors. Just make sure that you’re not a stranger here and keep in touch with us from time to time. [Link]
