I think it's a reference to bilirubin[1], a compound used in the liver for breaking down red blood cells.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilirubin



sorta yes:

It's a reference to my teddy bear (Billy Rubin) who I've had all my life. He was named after I made my mum's bilirubin wonky in the womb, my parents have a great sense of humor.

A few years ago I wanted to study medicine, but I knew we would miss my income, so what's a girl to do to make easy money while studying? ... Porn of course! So when I made my porn accounts I used Billie, the name was so familiar and it had a good alignment with my goals.

But my porn went unexpectedly viral and I kinda got overwhelmed by that. And in the mean time I took up 3D printing, and that's how I ended up moderating the largest 3D printing community on earth under the username BillieRubenCamGirl. lol.

I ended up meeting lotsa doctors because of the name (doctors love puns as much as I do it seems) and decided through talking with them I didn't want to be a dr after all. Ended up starting a double degree in two other STEM fields.

I still have the teddy, he sleeps on my bed every night.


I honestly love your life story and that you're comfortable sharing that. And I admire the passion you have for both those things lol.


Thanks!

I always wanted to demonstrate that I'm a whole human. Not just sexual or chaste. Sex is a healthy part of my life, and I like to demonstrate it thusly.
