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…
“You must have gotten a ton of pussy working in porn.” Well, I kind of did. I mean, I was working in customer service prior to working behind the camera in adult video. And my interactions with women were not worth mentioning—I did,after all, lose my ‘V Card” in a massage parlor in some city…
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…
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…
If you spend enough time in any field, you’ll inevitably experience the loss of those around you. Simply put, the longer you live, the more likely it is that people in your life will pass away. I began working in this industry in late 2003, and over the years, I’ve lost touch with many colleagues…
It was late 2003, and I had just gotten into the industry. I started by paying my dues in a variety of ways: setting up lights, getting baby wipes, getting douche, getting lube, and, above all, getting Bug Light for Chico Wang. One of the many perks of working for Chico was the ability to…
There’s something an editor can always notice when cutting a scene: talent. I’ve mentally blocked out scenes where the female performer looks as if she’d rather be anywhere but set. A bake sale. The line at her local DMV. Anywhere. Those ladies typically don’t last long, and even the most hardcore of porn fans won’t…
From 2004 to 2006, I appeared in roughly 225 adult film scenes. Over time, many of the performers I worked with have passed away, and I don’t remember every scene I shot during that period. However, one production that still stands out clearly in my memory is my time working with Haley Paige. At the…
I got into this industry back in late 2003. I knew there would be odd days and times when I’d question whether or not I should return to school. And there were days I’d learn a new vernacular. Enter the “mope.” What is a mope? Well, as director Sal Genoa once said, Ä mope is…
The job of male talent can be a tricky one. Can he get hard on command? Can he ejaculate when needed? Can he show up sober, ready to work, and not creep out the female talent? One would be surprised how that last part can be an overwhelming task for many in the business. Chico…
