She was initially a contract girl with Digital Sin/New Sensations,cite web|url=http://www.eros-ny.com/articles/2006-05-02/carmen_luvana/|title=Sexy Spreads: Carmen Luvana|accessdate=2007-05-26|author=Thomas S.

Luvana did not do anal sex on camera initially, saying that she would not do anything she was not comfortable with. After doing it in her private life and finding that she liked it, she proceeded to do it on film. Her first film with an anal scene was "The Perfect Secretary". [cite web
