Okay to start this blog off we're going to play a game. Look at the following porn actors and models and I want you to tell see if you can think of their names or who they are without looking it up.
Ready? Go!










How many do you think you got? Honestly I could name two just by looking at it. My buddy Mason Wyler and Jeremy Jordan. (Yes, Yes, I know Brent is big, but I wouldn't know him myself!) All these models and most of you probably have no idea who they are!
Why on Earth would I post a bunch of random porn stars? Tonight I was cruising my Dudes Nudes because I talk to some great people on there and really enjoy it and ran across a fellow model who has worked for Falcon and Chi Chi Larue, these are both goals of mine, so I messaged him. I said to him:
"Hey I really like the work of yours that I've seen. I hope to work for Falcon one day myself, but thus far have only done a few small shoots and am getting help from Mason Wyler to get work."
If I were to get a message like this. (And I often do.) I thank them and if they ask for advice on how to get into the industry, even if I KNOW they have no chance in hell of doing it I always answer their questions. I never say, wow those zits take you right out or its hard to find work for guys your size. I always tell them what I know and if I know of any good sites or agents who are looking for their type I direct them there. The response I got back from this porn "star" was this:
"Uh Ok.. You have to have the right look and know the right people." (This is not word for word, because I corrected spelling and grammar.)
I then proceed to pleasantly reply:
"Yeah that can be the hardest part can't it! I'm working with Mason Wyler on contacts and stuff. Any hints for an aspiring porn kid."
He then deletes my message without reading it. So I figure maybe he did a bulk delete and it got deleted. So I sent it again. Because like I've always been taught, its who you know and who you blow. He deletes it again.
I'm not trying to be a Diva guys, I'm really not. But the point of all this is, I found it funny that he thought he was someone big and special. If you look above most of those guys have been or are big in the adult industry yet I bet a majority of you guys have no idea who they are. Mason, who is a pretty big name in the porn industry says all the time, "I'm not a star." Which I would totally disagree with. Alot of guys know Mason Wyler! (I did not post the guys photos above because I don't want a pissing contest.)
What is the point of this blog: We're all nobodies in the end. There are Billions of people on this plants and I bet a good chunk of them are really hot men with great bodies who a large chunk of which would probably do porn.
I'm reminded every day and every time I apply somewhere that I am a nobody in the industry. And I'm not asking for compliments I'm just stating a fact. I don't get alot of jobs I apply for or I'm told to bulk up, slim down, shave this, grow that, tan this, lighten that. Mason will even tell you its not about Superstardom its about longevity. And I agree. Mason has had a very long career for a porn star. 5 years. Thats a LONG time for gay porn. (Unless you're a lifer like Matt Rush.)
I think we also all owe it to each other to not be catty Divas. We're all just a bunch of hoes peddling our bodies for a buck, and like I said its not an easy industry and their are a lot of bodies to be peddled!
Anyway boys if you're in porn remember love each other, help each other,
Rant? Maybe. Truth? For Sho'!
