A couple days ago the last scene I shot back in October went live at Falcon. The scene is with Jesse (Kyle) Santana (@KyleSantana), and is part of Jesse’s movie, “Jesse’s Getaway.” This was a particularly good scene to do. Unfortunately, you won’t see the best parts, because those moments happened while the cameras were offline and/or being adjusted. Unlike all my other scenes, Jesse and I kept going even when the cameras weren’t recording. The most beautiful moments are thus mine alone, and I don’t regret that. Sorry to be greedy, but Kyle whispering “You’re so pretty with my dick in your mouth” is really probably more authenticity than most people could handle. I texted @FabscoutHoward this morning: “If I pay you a higher commission percentage, can you get Jesse Santana to marry me? KayThanxBuy”

This scene, along with the work I did with @BenjaminBradley for “Summer Heat” and the self-made “Morning Wood” with David-SF, makes up the group of three scenes that I am not only fond of but proud of. These are the three where everything came together to make the process absolutely awesome. This represents the last of the work I have shot to date. There is nothing else waiting to be released until I do more scenes. I have had to turn down about 7 – 10 scenes this year already, because I don’t hear from the houses/Fabscout far out enough in advance before I’ve bought non-refundable tickets to fly wherever I’m going. And that’s alright, because there will be more opportunities. When it’s supposed to happen, it will.

At any rate, I remember this scene fondly, and I even Tweeted about it a few minutes after we were finished. That particular day I was running very late, and I arrived a bit stressed out. Jesse was very laid back, the crew was compassionate about my situation that afternoon, and everything was easy, breezy. I admit I was concerned when I saw how large Jesse is endowed (and I’d never experienced a Prince Albert before), but that’s the beauty of attraction: All things are possible through chemistry who strengthens me. Anyway, I don’t feel I look fat in the preview, so I guess this one is a win all around!

Jack Ryan has been involved in modeling and/or video projects since 1998, so far as I can tell. He started modeling the same time I started dancing. We’ve had extraordinarily different paths in the same industry, but we’re both still here. Also, we’ve both been called role models recently. And that is something I want to address, because although I agree with that sentiment, it is with a sense of reluctance.

About a week ago Jack Ryan wrote an important article for The Advocate that you can see here. In it he talks about his experience with bareback porn and drug abuse. He also talks about his renaissance as a person who wants to own his past, take responsibility for his actions, and grow toward wisdom and happiness. Jack has had to tolerate a great deal of cynicism from cynical people who cynically (and naïvely) scoff at the notion that adult entertainers could be role models (and that it is, in fact, a sign of the degeneration of people in general that this notion would even be expressed). Well, I’m here to express support for Jack Ryan.

I was a little put off at first when I read that someone would call Jack a role model; however, after reading his story and conversing with him just a tad, I have to admit that I embrace completely what he is trying to do. And although he has already agreed to do an interview for this blog, I wanted to take a moment to weigh in on WHY he needs his story to be discussed.

There is no denying that media informs our behaviors. It is the reason that corporations are willing to spend $1M/minute during the Super Bowl for commercials. It’s the reason there are ads EVERYWHERE. It’s the reason celebrity brands are so important. We are a herd species that needs to belong, and we learn by example as we go along. And that need to learn, belong, and emulate is very often manipulated or exploited.

Is anyone going to deny my assertion in this? Is anyone going to deny that people blamed Marylin Mason for the Columbine High School Massacre; or that people blamed Sarah Palin for the shooting in Arizona; or that Elizabeth Taylor sells hundreds of millions of dollars in perfume every year; or that the news media apply spin to stories to meld public opinion (or artfully exclude information they deem “unimportant”); or that Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired an entire paradigm shift in the United States by way of his speeches on TV, radio, and newsprint?

Bear with me, I have a reason for taking my time here.

This morning on the cover of USA Today, there was a story about a series of studies that show that amongst 18- to 24-year-old college students that committed relationships are down, hooking up is common, and that premarital virginity is on the rise. I invite you to read this before you go on. Okay, did you get all that?

What is the resource people turn to when they don’t feel like bothering to hook up? What is the resource virgins are using? Because virgins aren’t learning with partners, what is teaching them what they know about fucking? What has become so common that young people are “blasé toward sex?”

Pornography.

Whether the fine, upstanding people who have been trashing Jack Ryan on Queerty like it or not, Jack and I are definitely role models. Whether we are modeling behavior worth emulating is the question at hand, not whether or not we have an audience that we influence. Have you ever heard someone make the claim that anyone subject to any degree of public scrutiny is a role model? Well, that applies to adult entertainers, too (for better or worse).

It is inconsistent to blame Marylin Manson or Sarah Palin for mass shootings (or to empower Barney the Dinorsaur to raise polite children) and then say that porn models are “just” porn models and that pornography is “just” pornography. When Jack Ryan admits an error and seeks to reverse it; when I do or say whatever it is I do or say to make @MayckoTheGenius call me “an inspirational person for so many youth;” when @RoccoGiovanni does his annual activities to raise funds for sick kids; when David-SF (my partner from “Morning Wood”) takes his annual bike ride to raise money for HIV/AIDS charities; when your local female impersonators give shows at local bars to raise money for local charities… all of that represents moments when we as adult entertainers are modeling positive behavior and seeking to influence our audiences to join in.

Does it mean we’re always perfect? No. But it doesn’t change the fact that pornography and the people in it, just like any other form of media, influence consumers, and that we have a responsibility to that audience to nudge them toward happiness, not destruction.

I’m getting ready to go to San Francisco in the morning for the weekend, and it’s going to be a short, but intense trip. The flight times aren’t good at all, and I am shooting a private scene with Tristan Jaxx as an experiment for a project we have in mind. If you haven’t noticed, we’ve also rearranged the blog layout, and I’ve been super busy with all sorts of other work and theatre projects simultaneously… so… I’m feeling crazed and energized, not ready to lie down and go to bed “early” for my flight in a few hours.

Anyway, as a reader in Australia would say, “Get back to the naked pics.” Well, Michael, here are some new naked pictures. The scene is for Suite 703′s “My Brother’s Hot Friend” line, and I am featured in a flip-flop scenario with Alexander Garrett (who is as sexy and friendly as you could possibly want – a real sweet heart). Although most people won’t pick up on the joke (and I do try to include some kind of lightness or humor in every scene I do), this scene shows me being tutored by Alexander in Spanish. I am struggling, but if you pay attention… When I finally cut to the chase, I suddenly speak Spanish just fine. We were speaking in mixed Spanish and English throughout the shoot between takes, so the joke I inserted is that when I want to get him naked, I have no trouble at all saying, “Mi hermano no sabe nada.” (In other words, I already knew how to speak Spanish… I just wanted my brother’s hot friend to come over, so I could pretend to need tutoring.)

Subtle, but sometimes less is more. LOL This link is also live in the Filmography.

Well, that was quick turn around… Here’s the link to a video I shot only about two or three weeks ago. It’s a threesome with Aaron Styles and Damon Audigier. It’s for Suite703′s “Hot Jocks, Nice Cocks” brand. I am actually interested in seeing the beginning of this, because the idea for this one makes use of my experience as a dancer: Rather than massaging a hurt wrist, making out in the locker room, or talking about basketball (which I wouldn’t be able to do), this is a dance lesson that gets more familiar than usual (or not, depending on how you feel about being touched while receiving correction). LOL Anyway, I get to dance a very little bit in this one, and that is utterly fabulous. YAY! This video is linked on the Filmography.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good week so far. An interview I gave about 10 days ago has gone live. If you would like to read it, you can click to follow this link. For the most part it’s what I’ve said before about gay-for-pay, my path entering into adult entrainment, and chocolate (HA!); however, in addition to that, we do discuss pretty shirts, porn models with whom I would like to work and why, my choice not to do scenes with women in videos, the media company I would like to start, professionalism within escorting and some nuances about why I like Janet Jackson so much. If you want to read it, it’s there. Gay Porn Fanatic has a very involved blog, and you might enjoy visiting his site for its breadth of coverage. I am including a link to his site, because although this blog here focuses on me, Gay Porn Fanatic does a very good job of providing a type of interactive directory to all topics/people gay porn related. The link to this interview will also be under the Interviews tab.
