One does not often meet someone who theorizes that they have had more sex on camera than not. Of course when one does, one should pay attention to everything this unique person says.
A Brooke Tilli Conversation
I am sitting here with Penthouse Pet Brooke Tilli. Brooke, give me the month and the year of your Penthouse Pet of the Month.
Brooke: I’m Penthouse Pet January 2025.
What’s one thing that you’re grateful for at the moment?
Brooke: I had my first AVN nomination this year.
What was it?
Brooke: Hottest new creator! It’s like a perfect nomination, right? I’m really excited about that and just all the awesome people I’m meeting. I know it’s going to open up many doors. I kind of feel like I don’t even see the end. I’m so optimistic about what’s to come, and I’m grateful to feel that way because I didn’t really feel that way two years ago. Back then, I was really just starting out, and I wasn’t in a totally great place in my life. I was going through a lot. So, I didn’t even know that being in this spot was possible.
What helped build your confidence from back then to how you feel about yourself now?
Brooke: Pushing myself to go out to events where I might not be comfortable. Maybe I’m like, “Oh, I’m scared. I’m going to be alone. I don’t have anybody to go with.” But I go anyway, and make friends, and you sit down and think after the event “Wow, I really did that and it was good for me.” Now I get fear of missing out if I don’t go places. [laughs]
How did you get past the fear of initiating conversations with strangers?
Brooke: Being in the industry and meeting some people that I’ve always kind of seen on the internet and looked up to has helped me humanize everybody, and I kind of just remember that everybody’s probably nervous. When I get nervous talking to somebody, maybe they’re just as nervous talking to me and if they’re not or they think I’m weird, then they won’t even think about me in a couple days. [laughs]
What’s something new that you’ve learned recently?
Brooke: I have been dancing a lot this past year. It’s helped me a lot because I never really enjoyed the gym but wellness is so important these days. I was kind of feeling down on myself about that. Then I made a TikTok this year and I realized a lot of people dance on there, and it helped me remember when I was younger I loved cheerleading and dance. So I got back into dance. I’ve been doing all kinds … ballet, pole dance, floor, hip-hop, RnB dance. It’s been really good for me. It’s like my main fitness thing now.
Are you taking part of all the TikTok dance crazes?
Brooke: Yeah! It’s actually fun! I used to think “Oh wow, it’s silly, why do people do that?” But now I get it. It’s actually just people just having fun.
What’s your TikTok so people can follow you?
Brooke: @BrookeTilli. It’s really easy to find me on social media. All of my usernames are @BrookeTilli.
Is there any part of your professional life or your personal life that just gets put to the side?
Brooke: Yeah, there’s been a lot of things that I’ve been wanting to do and my schedule just fills up super-fast, especially with getting into collaborations and studio work this year. I kind of wanted to do my own collaborations, independently, but I’ve just been so busy with photoshoots and studio work at the beginning of the year that it keeps kind of getting pushed off.
Can you tell me a couple of the performers that you’ve collabed with that you’re super excited about? And, when you do collaborations, whom do you do collaborations with?
Brooke: I kind of do all of it now. I really like working with women though. It just makes me feel comfortable, and I love women. I think they’re beautiful. I work with men also, but I’m kind of picky about the guys that I work with, just because I haven’t really been around too many guys. I’ve been with a lot more women than men.
Is there a type that you are attracted to that would have a better shot of getting a collab with you?
Brooke: They don’t have to be super muscular, but just a fit guy. I like kind of nerdy tall guys, but I’m not so picky about the looks as much as I am the personality and how you come on to me. If I feel a sweet energy from the guy, it’s a lot more likely that I’ll work with him than if it’s just some asshole.
How long ago did you make that transition to performing from just doing solo stuff and photos?
Brooke: I started at the very beginning of January. So, kind of how I kicked off 2025 working with Penthouse. So 2026 is going to be my year of studio work and collaborations.
Wow!
Brooke: I know! I didn’t plan it that way! Penthouse or 2026… but it’s so interesting because my birthday is on New Year’s Eve, so every year I get to start a new age and a new goal.
Did you think that you could achieve a goal like become a Penthouse Pet?
Brooke: No, it’s so awesome and surreal coming from such a small town and kind of doing it all on my own. I did not think it was possible at all.
What do you want to do next?
Brooke: I would love to get some brand deals. I think Fleshlight would be cool. Some lingerie shoots would be really cool. The sky is the horizon there. I love to model.
What made you decide to pursue this career fully?
Brooke: I think getting so many opportunities, and I just didn’t feel right saying no to them. I have to at least try it and see and find out if I like it or not. And everything has been such a great experience. I’m like “I wish I would have started sooner.”
Are there any personal goals that you’re working towards?
Brooke: I have been focusing a lot more on wellness and relaxing lately. Though because doing this work, and having so much excitement, it can be easy to get wrapped into it. So, I would really like to learn this year how to balance my wellness with my work and maybe help other people do the same.
Is your plan to do like a vlog or a blog and share your experiences with people? I think following your journey from the beginning of this part of your professional life will be so fascinating for people.
Brooke: Yeah… And maybe helpful for people. I think if you get into this industry, you should definitely want to do it… It takes a special certain type of person, but for anybody curious, it would be maybe helpful to know too.
Is there anything that helps you feel connected to other people?
Brooke: I really like when someone can reach out. I know that sounds kind of basic, but a lot of people just don’t these days. They can’t be the one to take initiative to reach out and be sweet and be nice and humanize themselves a little bit. I’ve noticed that some guys are more like, “We can get something to eat afterwards” or something like that and then some guys are not so much, and that’s fine too, but I do kind of like getting to know a person. We don’t have to get married or anything like that [laughs], but it would be nice to get to know someone and create a friendship so you can do future collaborations if it goes well. I just don’t really like working with people where we’re just like fucking and then we never talk again. I do like to keep up with everybody that I work with on social media and support them and follow them. I understand, because people get busy too, not everyone’s going to be like following me back on social media, but it does mean a lot when somebody can take the time to care about who they’re working with and follow them back and show support. That goes a long way.
How many scenes have you done at this point would you say?
Brooke: Three, and I have a fourth one coming up.
Have they all run smooth? Tell me what you like.
Brooke: I like a lot of things! I kind of like when a guy can take the lead and be a little bit dominant, but then it will transition into me being a little bit dominant too. I like when a guy can bring me out of my shell because I am still new, and I try to be mindful of that myself because I’m like, “It’s not everybody’s job to bring me out of my shell.” But I think some guys can tell, and it helps a lot whenever they’re a little bit sweet to me.
And do you like giving blowjobs?
Brooke: Yes!
That’s very important.
Brooke: Yeah! It is important in this job. [laughs]
And do you like bigger dicks or littler dicks?
Brooke: You know what’s funny? I like to have sex with bigger dicks, but as far as blowjobs, I don’t really like when the dick is too big. I can’t really show off my skills as well. [laughs]
[laughs] So true!
Brooke: But I do like to have sex with bigger dicks, maybe average size… I think my favorite dick size may be like 7 inches. I think that’s perfect.
What’s your favorite position?
Brooke: I like spooning! It’s nice and relaxing and I just think it feels good. It’s cuddling and intimate.
How’s your experience when you’ve done your mainstream studio shoots? A lot of people don’t realize when you’re having sex on camera, you have to open up so the camera can see what’s happening, have you found yourself in strange positions yet?
Brooke: It all feels so natural to me, just because I’ve been modeling and making my own content and then webcam modeling for so long. I think more of my sex life has been in front of a camera than not, so I’m pretty used to it. I think I’ve impressed people with that, and it’s going really well for me.
It’s the natural progression, it seems, from where your career was to what you’re doing now.
Brooke: Yeah, so true! I’ve never really felt pushed into something that is too big for me. It’s been a nice gradual step. I’m so grateful for that. I’ve learned a lot along the way, and it makes me seem really professional when I show up like I know what I’m doing, but really I’ve just had a lot of practice. [laughs]
How closely does your online persona match who you are in your real life?
Brooke: It all kind of blends together because there’s so much that goes into it, it’s just easier for me to be myself than try and put on a character that I have to keep up with. That would just add so much more work, and I already do so much! So, who I am on camera is pretty much who I am off-screen too.
Tell me about some of your potential future collabs that you have planned.
Brooke: I have a collaboration coming up with Owen Gray.
[gasps]
Brooke: I’ve actually had such a crush on him. He’s one of my biggest industry crushes and he’s so sweet! Whenever I talk about, “I like when a guy can be sweet to me,” he’s one of the first people that come to mind. He’s been such a nice guy, and I haven’t even worked with him yet, but I feel comfortable exploring that collaboration.
And you have no tattoos, right?
Brooke: No.
That’s going to look fucking cool.
Brooke: I think so too. I think we’ll look really cute together!
Is it just Owen Gray, or is it Owen Gray and Small Hands? Because that’s an iconic duo.
Brooke: I’m working up to that too! I would love to work with both of them! And they both seem really, really sweet, but Owen reached out to me first… So, first come, first serve. [laughs]
Have you performed with two guys yet?
Brooke: No! And I would love to! That’s something I would like to try towards maybe later on this year, but I did have my first threesome two weeks ago for a studio film and it was so fun and both of the people were so hot. And it’s so weird because you would think it would be this big, huge deal, but it didn’t really feel that way. I was just excited to have sex with two people. [laughs] … We all had pretty great chemistry, especially me and the other woman, had great chemistry, and the theme of the scene was kind of us taking advantage of him a little bit so it all flowed really nice. We were a good team. [laughs]
Are there any female talent that you’re looking forward to working with?
Brooke: I can’t think of any names off the top of my head because I’m meeting so many amazing women. I’m drawing a bit of a blank, but one thing I’m looking forward to is I have some girl-girl-girl scenes coming up. When I first got into studio, I mentioned to a lot of the studios that I would like to do some girl-girl scenes and at first some of the studios were a bit weird about that. They were like, “We don’t really shoot that much girl-girl. It doesn’t really do that well.” And then the studio that ended up picking me up for my first scenes, I hadn’t even really mentioned that to them, and they were like, “We think you’d be good in some girl-girl-girl scenes with a bunch of girls!” And I was like, “Oh my gosh! That sounds amazing! It’s all working out perfect.”
What excites you about what’s next in your life?
Brooke: [whispers] Oh my gosh. So many awesome things to come… I guess circling back around to working with two men. I’ve never done that before and I would love to be the center of attention. So, I hope we can make that happen this year. [laughs]
Could you see yourself doing a spit-roast position? Sucking one man’s dick and the other one would be fucking you.
Brooke: Oh yes! Please! Of course! [laughs] I would go straight for that! When I think of threesome with two guys, that’s what I think I’m doing. So, yup!
Would you be open to a double penetration?
Brooke: I think so. Yeah! There are not too many things I’m nervous about. That’s something I would be so nervous about. Like, excited to try!
Do you have any pets?
Brooke: It’s a funny story about that. I was in a long-term relationship, and we had 2 pets, a dog and a cat. I didn’t really want the responsibility of the cat. My ex-partner wanted the cat originally, and I was like, “I don’t know,” because I already had a Yorkie. She’s 12 years old. I’m like “I guess, we can try getting a cat.” Basically now, I’m stuck with this dog and this cat, but I love them both so much, and I can’t imagine getting rid of the cat. She’s so cute and I actually have become more of a cat person, now that it’s just me and her and my dog… I was kind of thinking about getting another one. I thought I was a dog person, but I’m coming around to the cats. She’s so sweet and we got her from a shelter! She was 3 when we got her and she sleeps on my feet, like down at the bottom of the bed, and it’s so cute.
What do you hope people feel when they read your story and learn more about you?
Brooke: The first thing that comes to mind is maybe humanizing my transition into the industry, for myself and for other people, because I know that there’s probably a lot of women out there like me, with how easy it is to be a content creator these days, and just sign up to cam. I’m sure there’s a lot of women that get offered studio jobs or collaboration opportunities and it can be a little scary. I wish I kind of had somebody that I could just watch their content, and watch their story, see how it works out for them and take advice from them.
What do you want your digital presence to communicate in the end?
Brooke: Growing up in a smaller religious town, there’s always been, maybe even in the back of my mind still, a lot of guilt surrounding what I’m doing. I guess a lot of people can probably relate, and I think it’s been really empowering for me to be able to go and do this work and explore my sexuality, [even though] some people aren’t going to like it. There’s certain people in your family that aren’t going to like it, but you kind of just have to take the path that’s for you. I hope that people can watch my content and see that I’m living authentically, and they should live their authentic life as well.
We have to admit a bias in this teeny-tiny office amidst a giant enterprise that we have a fondness towards the openess of the platform with YouTube, and Brooke has begun to dip her toes there — as it were. Mostly, though, we really hope we get to sit down with Brooke again this next January, as a year in this business can spawn an amazing amount of change in a person. (Again, as it were.)
