Sure. Working in adult video from 2003 to 2018 was something every red-blooded, straight male would dream of doing. And it’s an industry that fascinated me from a young age. Think about it: getting paid to have sex with beautiful women. It sure sounded better than my initial plans to graduate from college, go to…
So it’s 2005, and I have about a year and a half of performing under my belt. I remember rolling around in peanut butter with a cat and having Casey urinate on me. These weren’t always fun for me, but it was a job, and I eventually got to blow a load at the end….
I believe our industry is at a point where it needs to take a more intentional and structured approach to safety, particularly when it comes to who is granted access to professional spaces and environments. Recent incidents involving performers and outside social media influencers have brought renewed attention to concerns around boundaries, safety protocols, and…
Myah Monroe was porn’s equivalent of Adriana La Cerva. At least that’s what I thought when I met her and heard that distinct NY accent.

Everyone in the adult industry has a story about how they got in. Mine’s a little different. I’ve been a fan of adult films since at least middle school. While other kids were talking about sports stats or what was going on in the world, I was more focused on what was happening in adult…
Vixen was the final scene in a day where I performed five times. No, that’s not a typo. Chico Wang got it in his crazy mind to book five scenes for me on a hot summer day. Oh, and did I fail to mention I was sick and on antibiotics? I remember telling Chico,” Dude,…
“You worked behind the scenes of adult video? That must’ve been so much fun!” I’d usually hear something like that whenever someone found out I edited porn and used to work on set. What they don’t see are the headaches and diva attitudes I had to deal with just to make ends meet. Here are…
Other than being the male talent on set, editing porn is pretty much every straight guy’s dream job. Or is it? Actually, I guess you could be gay and love editing dicks going into the buttholes of other guys, no judgment here. Anyway, I first learned about digitizing content in late 2003, with the help…
