Men of Porn

Interview - the MOP20: Christopher Daniels

Official website | Twitter | Facebook

Q1 You're like what I'd consider a 'stealth' adult film performer - you kinda debuted under the radar and then after several clips under your belt: you EXPLODED into popularity! Discuss how you got started...

Christopher Daniels (CD): I got started in porn when Zeb Atlas was filming his movie "The Boyfriend" here in Las Vegas in fall of 2010. One of his models didn't show up and he needed a replacement. He went to rentboy.com and found my profile, called me and asked if I wanted to be in a porn. I figured it was now or never so I said sure and was filming porn 2 hours later.

Q2 You identify as 'gay'... and oddly enough it would appear that most of your scene partners are gay identified. How do you feel about performing with "gay for pay" performers (i.e. Next Door Studios) and even straight directors and staff (such as Men)?

CD: I generally don't like performing with straight guys/G4P/ "Bi" models bc I can't create chemistry with another model when they refuse to kiss me, won't rim, doesn't like sucking dick, and has to have his eyes glued to straight porn while we fuck. With that being said, one of the hottest scenes I have done was with Trent Diesel who is married and bi so I've come to realize not everyone is the same. One question that continues to confuse me is if you are straight, then why do you have a dick up your asshole??? Are times really that tough or are you just not very bright? I don't get it. As far as working with straight directors/staff... they're definitely not all the same. Just because someone isn't gay doesn't mean they don't know how to create hot gay sex. I've actually had more beefs with a few gay directors (actually only one or two) who seemed like they could care less about gay porn and were more concerned about making Happy Hour then creating a quality scene. As for Men, I think Laura is basically like a gay man trapped inside a woman's body. She knows what she's doing and is just as much of a sex pig as the rest of us! I love working with her (as well as Mr Pam) and they both do great work.

Q3 My only impression of Las Vegas shows is either the Celine Dion show or the movie 'Showgirls'. But, what's it like working as a performer in Las Vegas?

CD: It all depends on the crowd you hang with. Vegas has tons of conservative Mormons who never go to the strip, but it also has a very diverse crowd of show people and performers. People always say this city has no culture but I think we're headed in the right direction and stuff is happening. I recommend anyone interested in learning a bit more about Vegas should watch a Showtime Documentary called Naked Las Vegas. It was done a few years ago ( Im actually featured in it) and its an interesting look at people who live in this crazy city.

Q4 You have a RentBoy ad (AWESOME SAUCE!)... one has to believe that being a notable porn star can only increase the number of companion requests. Care to share your most romantic night with a client?

CD: I started porn to promote the escorting and it has worked in my favor. Escorting has opened doors I never knew existed and I have met countless of amazing individuals doing it.  Most romantic night with a client? Escorts are sworn to secrecy and the last thing I need is the escort mafia after me. Next question please.

Q5 Once again you gotta believe there are some over-zealous fans and 'Alex Forrest's' out there....Any scary or uncomfortable run-ins with fans? What's the weirdest request from a fan/client?

CD: I feel like I have a pretty normal and down to earth  group of "fans". I get crazy requests through my rentboy ad all the time and I'll usually listen to their requests which can be anything from a cleaveland steamer to beating the crap out of their balls and usually politely decline but then again times are tough so it all depends on my mood.

Q6 You are an avid Crossfit-er! And clearly, it has an impact - you look ripped and in fighting trim (!). Can you explain Crossfit (briefly for the uninitiated) and share your experience? And what's your diet like? Any skincare tips?

CD: I got started in crossfit over 2 years ago because I was dating a guy (porn star Spencer Williams) who is an avid crossfitter. Crossfit Training is a strength and conditioning brand that combines gymnastics, sprinting, weightlifting, powerlifting, rowing, kettlebell training and medicine ball training. I loathe going to the gym and lifting weights so Crossfit is perfect because  every day is different and the WODs (workout of the day) consist of different movements. If you're looking for the next step in physical fitness then try crossfit.  As far as my diet, I try to a diet of lean meats, vegetables, nuts and fruit. No processed foods, soda and very little carbs. Skin care? Drink water, sleep 8 hours a night, limited meth/crack use and oil of olay twice a day.

Q7 Tell us about your dog whom you clearly have great affection for.

CD: I have 2 cockerspaniel/poodle mixes and their names are Faust and Finnegan. They are the loves of my life and they are my little buddies. I love what I do and being able to travel but the hardest part is leaving my pups home when I'm on the road.

Q8 Bareback is a divisive issue polarizing a LOT of performers, studios, and audiences (some even speculated to be pro-condom publicly but bareback privately) but clearly it sells. How do you feel about it?

CD: This question continues to boggle my mind and I don't know what the answer is. What you do behind closed doors is your business. Knowing your status and getting checked regularly is your responsibility and NOT the studios. I get tested for everything every three months because I'm a hypochondriac and overly paranoid but I'm not going to lie and say every time I have had sex I have been safe. Hello... I'm a horny gay dude and common sense is not my forte. What I REALLY don't like to see is studios who were adamant about not using models who have done bareback use models who are very open being POZ and some who even have escort ads that advertise offering bareback sex. Where do you draw the line? Also, now a days you see porn studios using models who have done bareback porn, which confuses me even more. Can someone please explain the rules to me again?  Regardless of whether or not you're having sex on camera or in your personal life there is always going to be a risk. This may not make sense but I assume everyone is POZ yet I refuse to stigmatize POZ men. Some of the hottest men I know are POZ and thank God we no longer live in an age where having the virus is a kiss of death and I refuse to live in fear. Just be smart and wrap it up.

 

Interviews with Tom Faulk, Trent Diesel, Sean Xavier and Kennedy Carter

Tom Faulk [full inteview from James]

Q. You said people in your hometown found out about your modeling. How did they respond? What did your friends/family say? Have you told friends/family?

A. I have a lot of friends, and my family that does know do not care. Not everyone is kind though. I am constantly either being sexually harassed or slurred on Facebook. It's getting better though. People have figured out I haven't changed, and I'll kick their  ass if they mess with me!

(Then and Now)

Q. From your first scene, your fans loved your look. Recently you got a haircut and people yowled disappointment (smile). What's it like to have a haircut get so much attention? Will you grow your hair back? Go bald next (I like that look!.....grin). Did CollegeDude's say anything about your new 'do?

A. Ah yes. Here is my explanation: last time I was up my hair felt too long.  In between I've been training and lifting, so I got a haircut to show off my body more. I wanted to look more refined, and not a shaggy haired "twink". LOL I do plan on growing it back though. It just needed a hedging.

Q. Top or bottom? Is there a type of guy you prefer to bottom/top for?

A. I prefer topping in porn and bottoming in real life. Although the number of times I've even hooked up can be counted on one hand.

Trent Diesel [full interview from JP Barnaby]

Q. Are you still working in construction as your primary job?

A. Yes. I’m not doing floors exclusively, I’m doing more work as a general contractor, partnered up with someone in my own business.

 
 
(Galleries above are of Trent with a woman, a transsexual and with men)

Q. Being bisexual, we face our own unique challenges. How has your sexuality affected your work in the adult industry?

A. It seems to me for some reason that I’ve got to be one of very few men who haven’t been bashed for being bisexual. Some guys act more straight, and it shows. But, since I really am bisexual – I like men and I like women, it really shows and I’ve been accepted. It’s been a positive for me as far as my porn career, people are willing to shoot me both ways.

Q. Does your family know about being in the industry? If so, are they supportive?

A. Most of my siblings know, and they’re supportive. My parents, nor the rest of my family know.

Sean Xavier [full interview from James]

Q. How would you describe your sexuality? Gay? Bi? Straight? Curious? Horny?

A. My standard line is: all of my past boyfriends say that I'm gay.

 
 
(The latest scene released this week of Sean is from Lucas Entertainment)

Q. How long do you plan on working in the industry? What goals do you have  post-modeling?

A. I don't have any immediate plans to stop. I'll start graduate school soon for a Ph.D. in informatics. Who says you can't be a doctor and a porn-star? Not me.

Kennedy Carter [full interview by James]

 
(Galleries above are from Cocky Boys)

Q. How would you describe your sexuality? Gay? Straight? Bisexual? Something else? Has this definition changed since you've been in the industry?

A. I would say I'm 100 percent gay; I can get turned on by the thought of sex with a woman, but I could only fall in love with a man. I don't think porn would ever change that.

Interview with Dawson of Corbin Fisher

Thank you to Chip of Corbin Fisher for allowing us fans to ask Dawson some questions. Thank you to fellow porn fans who sent questions - Alias74, Russel, Raymond, Jeremy, Bo, Oneyka, Stephen, Visak, Nicholas, Campbell, Dave, Peter, and H.C.

WORK

1. What were your motivations for starting in porn... and how have they changed over the years?

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would end up in front of a camera on a porn set. I sorta fell into it not knowing what the outcome would be. At first it was more about putting a few extra bucks in the bank. Now, 6 years later, I try to keep the fans happy with continuing to push my comfort zone and try new things. The fans are my motivation to stay on-camera.

2. Connor is actively involved behind the scenes at CF... are you employed in a similar capacity? If not, do you have aspirations to edit, direct, handle a camera?

CF has included me in many of the behind the scenes duties over the years.   There's always something to do here at the office and I'm the kind of guy who likes to help out anywhere I can.

3. Do you ever play with the other models to do a practice run while not being filmed for fun?

It's a big no-no for us to sneak off to take care of any sexual urges during a shoot.   That's why a good portion of our scenes get so intense because sometimes unknown chemistry begins to develop between scene partners and the scenes are our only chance to really explore that.

4. Are you top or bottom? Does it still hurt being a bottom?

Man, it really depends on the day. Sometimes I just really feel like fucking, HARD! And, other times I feel bit more submissive. I've gotten used to it over the years and have developed an appreciation for bottoming, more that I ever thought I would!

5. Did you have an interest in feet prior to joining the CF family? Of the feet you tasted at CF, which one is your favorite?

Ewww!!!  Feet???   I never gave a person's foot a second thought. At least not until I started with CF. I have a newfound love for feet on both men and women now. It really freaks girls out at first when I start sucking and licking their toes! Although, not one has asked me to stop ;). I'm not too picky nor choosy when it comes to feet.  I'm used to guys running around outside barefoot before a scene.  A little sandy grit in the mouth never hurt anyone, right? I'm sorta dirty like that anyhow!

6. Of all the cum you tasted, which one tasted finger lickin' good?

Such a dirty yet personal question! I've tasted all sorts (obviously). My favorite is probably Connor or Lucas'.

7. If you could do it all over again, would you still go into porn?

Absolutely!  Not because of the reasons most people would assume either.  I have learned so much over the last 6+ years from making the choices I did that I wouldn't trade them for anything.  I've also learned a lot more about myself - this in itself is worth more than anything.

8. Thoughts about bareback? Creampies? How do you respond to those who say that seeing young and beautiful men like the Corbin Fisher guys doing bareback promotes irresponsibility and the rise of the spread of STD's. One porn performer recently said that bareback work (not CF, but BB in general) was a "slap in the face to the gay community"....

Oooo...  The ole hot-button question.  We here at CF have the most stringent STD testing of any adult company in existence. If we were not this way, I wouldn't be working here. My health and future far surpass any wealth, popularity, or fun to be gained by working in the adult industry. The sex we have on set is in a way the safest sex I could have, anywhere. There is risk associated with nearly every thing we do in life. It's how we manage it that keeps us safe.

PERSONAL

9. For the record, discuss your sexuality.

This is another topic that is debated heavily among fans and viewers of our stuff. I've always liked girls and still do. I remember tearing out pictures of attractive and sporty-looking women from magazines and jerking off to them as soon as I got home.  When my family finally setup the internet on our computer... OMG! It was crazy how often I jerked off to photos of women. Most of the photos were not even of naked girls either!  I like the sporty & athletic type.  That said, I appreciate men and their masculine bodies. CF gives me that outlet to explore the other side of me where I won't be judged, taken advantage of, and can just enjoy myself.

10. Are you married? Does your family and close friends know about your porn work? What was their reaction?

I am not married. I have a steady girlfriend whom I currently live with. It's still very new, but things are going swell thus far. EVERYONE knows about my adult work. For the people in my life who didn't know, it was just a matter of time before they found out.  I grew up in a very small town back in the Midwest where homosexuals were ostracized and made out to be no-good.  I never thought this was fair, but it wasn't until I started working at CF that I realized how shitty that close-minded mentality really is. My entire family is very supportive and 100% on-board with what I do.  I'm truly thankful for their support, as I know many people struggle with acceptance every day.

11. Without ruining any sort of confidentiality or anything, but what's 'day to day' Dawson like....what do you do when you're not filming? Career and hobby wise?

I work with CF on a daily basis and have a couple other projects in the works.  I've always been a bit of an entrepreneur and once that bug bites you, it's hard to make it quit.  I stay in the gym as much as I can.  Usually 5-6 days a week for an hour or so.  I like going out to meet new people and do often meet fans! It's always a pleasure meeting someone who is familiar with the website while I'm out and about.  I appreciate the feedback I sometimes get and it boosts my motivation to stay in front of the camera.

12. By now we know that you are recognized in public, tell us your BEST/SWEETEST fan interaction and your WEIRDEST/SCARIEST interaction (because we gotta believe there are some Alex Forrest's out there)....

Gosh, it happens on a regular basis.  It's such a neat experience too! Midwestern farm boy gone internationally-recognized porn star! How neat!? Truth be known though, I'm just another regular guy and that's what I tell anyone who comes up to me. There's nothing about me personally that makes me better than anyone else. I just get naked on camera and fuck for the whole world to see!  hee hee  There have been so many sweet and very generous fans that I've met over the years that it'd be hard to single just one out. I've never necessarily had a "bad experience" with a fan.  Maybe that super-long, awkward leering stare I sometimes get from people.  Or when someone watches me eat while at a restaurant!... Ugh

13. Of all the men you've had sex with on the site, is there any one (like Lucas?) that you might have felt would have been "the guy" if you were gay and looking for a partner?

It would be tough to say because I appreciate a physically-fit, athletic body.  Coupled with a stellar charismatic and witty personality, is what I would look for.   I can think of 3 or so guys right now who fit the bill, with Lucas being one of them.

LOOKING AHEAD

14. What's the future of Dawson at CF? Can we hope that Dawson will be around at CF for the next year at least (my subscription relies on his presence).

Awww quit it!  You're making me blush.  I'll stay in front of the camera as long as people still want to see me. I realize I can't please every one, which is a shame, but that's how life is.  Different strokes for different folks as they say. It's people like you, sir, who keep me motivated. I greatly appreciate your loyalty to CF and your kind words.  Both mean a lot to me.

15. What are your post-porn career plans? Do you have a degree, or are you working on one? Personally, I think you'd clean-up as a personal trainer in WeHo or the Castro.

I really hate to think of moving on from camera work and CF.  I consider everyone I work with as family. We've all been through so much together and watched our company grow and prosper with the help of our fans and viewers.  Time will tell and we'll cross that bridge when it comes. Like I mentioned before, the entrepreneur bug bit me a while ago and it's what I went to school for, so I'll most likely put that to good use!  Thank you!  It was a pleasure sir!

Again, thank you Corbin Fisher.

Do you have a question for Dawson of Corbin Fisher?

I am not good with Q&A but Alias74 convinced me to do it and he was kind enough to volunteer to help me. Luckily, I was in an email conversation with Chip of Corbin Fisher regarding Connor and he mentioned the Connor interview with The Sword. He told me I could ask any of the CF guys, except for Connor, who was already interviewed. So, I thought of Calvin (oops that SC) - JUST KIDDING. The first name that my Denz Jr. gave me was Dawson (who was recently creampied at CF Select). Yup, I think with my cock :)

 
 

I already have a list of questions but I want to give other fellow porn fans a chance to ask Dawson a question. Just send it to me via email at menofporn@gmail.com. To make it a suprise, please don't post your question/s on this blog. I will send the questions to Corbin Fisher in 24 hours.

If there will be a lot of questions, I will have to choose from the list of questions to narrow it down. FYI, from CF "We reserve the right to not answer questions that infringe on the models' or their family and friends' privacy, our business practices, etc." So, don't ask Dawson about his hairline as it infringes privacy. JUST KIDDING!

For the record, I am a fan of Dawson since he started at Corbin Fisher.

Interviews with porn stars - Chip Tanner, Race Cooper, Jacob Durham, and Shane Frost

James, who has commented on this blog, is the owner of What The World Does Not Need, which contains a number of interviews with gay or gay for pay porn stars

CHIP TANNER [interview]

Q. How would you describe your sexuality? Gay? Bi? Straight? Curious? Horny?

A. I'm pretty exclusively attracted to females. However, calling myself "straight" really doesn't say much about me. I'd essentially have to write an autobiography, plastered with graphs and charts, in order for my sexuality to be comprehensible. Semi-seriously, I actually plan on doing this. With that being said, there are still certain aspects of my sexuality that leave me confused. I would hope that future experiences might answer these conundrums for me. But considering how much of a buffoon I am, I wouldn't bet on it.

RACE COOPER [interview]

Q. How do you prepare for a scene? Do you have a routine you follow?

A. The routine I have is pretty simple, and pretty much what everyone does. Not having sex for a day or two before, eating a balanced breakfast, a thorough cleaning, and, if I have the time, a pump at the gym. Preparation also includes looking at videos of my scene partner, and trying to come up with  ways  to utilize our surroundings, and props, in an original way. I never want to bore people;  I try to push and challenge myself with every shoot.

JACOB DURHAM [interview]

Q. How would you describe your sexuality? Gay? Bi? Straight? Curious? Horny?

A. I am completely gay, but was never comfortable admitting it. I began fucking women and called myself bi.  However, now I found my interest to be completely about guys.

Q. You've topped and bottomed in most of your scenes. Is there a preference?

A. Before I started doing porn, I was a complete top. However, after bottoming on camera, I started to love it. Now my preference depends on what my scene partner looks like. Some guys I want to dominate. Then there are others who can ride me all night! :-)

SHANE FROST [interview]

Q. Are there any scenes/fantasies you want to film? Any scenes you won't?

A. I also thought a Brent sandwich -- in the middle of Brent Corrigan and Brent Everett -- would be fun.  I have been asked many times to do scat scenes!? LOL.  Not a chance!

Next on James' list is an interview with Mason Star.

From Bo on Brody Wilde and a Q&A

I got this email from Bo regarding Brody Wilde "This boy has burst out of the Helix sphere (four scenes there) and is all over the place: Fucked by Christian Wilde at Falcon Studios (isn’t that cute?), by Dante Escobar at Suite 703, by John Magnum (alone and a massage with Tyler Saint) at Gay Room, and an absolutely sensational one with Ari Silvio at Club Dean. This guy is on his way."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Brody Wilde was very kind enough to answer a few questions I sent to him via Twitter. 

1. What was the first scene you did (Helix?)? How was the experience?

BRODY My first scene solo was with Helix and I was so nervous! I could barely stay hard lol. First duo was with Suite 703.

2. So far, favorite scene partner? I am guessing Alex Vaara? Your tweets mentioned you have a crush on him :)

BRODY Although I don't like my look in the scene with Dante, he was super sweet and made me comfortable :)

Alex Vaara for sure! But yes super crushing on him. But I have also got the chance to work with alot of great guys. John Magnum and Christian Wilde were both sweet guys :p

3. I am right, you've worked for Helix Studios, Falcon Studios, Gay Room, Men, Suite 703, Club Dean, Hot House, did I miss a studio?

BRODY I have also done a live show on Brent Everett with Brent, Brandon Wilde and Cliff Jensen

4. Close friends in the porn industry?

BRODY Living in San Diego I know alot of guys in the industry. But Tyler West was my roomie for awhile and we knew each other pre porn.

Brent Everett and his husband Steve have always been very sweet and a good voice in my head. Also, Trent Atkins is always keeping me on track.

5. What was your life before working for the adult industry?

BRODY Before this I was a military boy. Seven long years got the chance to go all over the world but happy to be turning a new page

Upcoming next week, I'll be doing stills and promotional scenes for a new hook up site Squirt.org

Rick McCoy taking questions, comments and suggestions from fans at JUB Forum

From Rick McCoy at JUB Forum "Hey everyone, this is Rick McCoy! I'm always looking for questions, comments and suggestions from my fans so come talk away. I will try to check up on the site daily so your topics will go unnoticed. You can also follow me on twitter and see what I'm up to. @num1_RickmcCoy"

Quesion from a fan Dude, you're so hot, how could you let Jake Cruise touch you? I refuse to even click on pics from his studio.

Rick McCoy "Yeah I get that a lot :P haha and don't worry, I'm not a puss... You can ask pretty much anything  I originally got into gay porn coming from a straight environment. So I really just went all out (considering I also didn't have an agent) lol. Anyway, to answer your question specifically, Jake is a great friend of mine and that's the beauty of brotherly love is you can have fun and be buds, right?  I'm not gonna lie to you though, when you're a newcomer to the industry the money is big lol"

Question from a fan I know you're a CSM exclusive but do you plan on venturing over to other sites/ studios in the future? Who in the industry (male or female) would you really like to do a scene with?

Rick McCoy

1. I'm actually done with Jake Cruise unfortunately, but good news is I am with Pacific Blu so I am all over the map. Watch out for me

2. I banged Jerrot (something) a week ago in Key West (which is a clue to the big surprise),  but I fucking loved that kid and will do it again anytime. Wow is all I have to say

Question from a Fan 1. Which do you prefer bottoming or topping? 2. When will you get a facebook? 3. You said you started in str8 porn, do you still do str8 porn? 4. Which do u prefer str8 porn or gay porn? (seems like the gay orgasms are more intense)

Rick McCoy

1. I actually prefer topping because I am hard to please when it comes to the energy in a scene. It's seems like there is rarely ever enough of it in modern day porn. I am actively trying to change that though and as a top you can either solo it or control it.

2. I am currently working on a Facebook so watch out for the announcement.

3. I did start with straight porn, but everyone knows how well that pays guys (sarcasm) haha... but, no I don't do straight porn anymore considering I have found a great replacement.

4. I would say I prefer straight porn for personal purposes, but gay porn is a lot more fun to work in. Everyone in gay porn shoots the shit, fucks and then hangs out as bros. Straight porn for the most part is more strict.

More questions were posted at JUB, waiting for Rick McCoy's answers.

Logan McCree is into str8 guys

Interview from The HomoSocial

 

The HomoSocial: How would you define your sexuality, gay-straight-bisexual-open minded? Logan McCree: I can’t answer to this, it’s too difficult.

The HomoSocial: I have to ask this questions, everybody must want to know the answer and I’m sure you get asked it all the time… so I’m gonna ask again! What kind of guys turn you on? Logan McCree: Unfortunately I am into straight guys. Muscular, down to earth straight guys.

FYI This is the guy who interviewed Logan McCree.

 
 
 

I know the focus of this post is about Logan McCree but I got DISTRACTED by Pete, owner of The HomoSocial.
