Anatomy of a Scene: Impact Play

5 February 2010 10:58

InstigatorsAnatomy of a Scene: Impact PlaySan Diego, CA – Of all the scenes we do, it is our impact play that seems to freak people out the most. Impact play is a common yet misunderstood part of the Leather-S/M scene. Whether delivered with bare hands (our personal favorite) or through a variety of implements designed or perverted to do wicked and nasty things – impact play can create strong physical, emotional and mental connections.

Mr San Diego Eagle Contest this Weekend

4 February 2010 18:46

TrainerMr San Diego Eagle Contest this Weekend Seattle, WA – With just over twenty-four hours in Seattle I’m already about to head back to the airport. This evening’s destination is San Diego, California where I’ll be staying the weekend while serving as head judge for the Mr San Diego Eagle contest. I’m quite excited about returning to San Diego and the opportunity to build new connections within the community of fetish/Sm players in the region. Even better, I get to share the weekend with my boy Derek Da Silva, who will be flying in from Chicago to be with me for the weekend. Tomorrow evening we’re slated to present an impact play demonstration during the Mr San Diego Eagle Meet & Greet and I’m planning a very special post to the blog tomorrow that relates directly to our demo. So, if you live or are going to be in San Diego this weekend… Read the rest of this entry »

Released: ROUGH. Abuse of Power

31 January 2010 23:41

DirectorReleased: ROUGH. Abuse of PowerSan Francisco, CA – This past Tuesday Titan Media released the fourth video in the Rough line of fetish/Sm features I’m co-directing with Paul Wilde. Abuse of Power is a solid feature with three sex-filled vignettes that explore three different examples of how some of us play with the exchange of power. Tristan Jaxx and I ambush and overpower Ridge Kane in the first. Erik Glock has his power taken from him at gun-point as he’s raped by Tyler Saint in the second. And Ruff Zindao surrenders to the business end of my six-foot bullwhip in a truly incredible free-standing display of self discipline and personal power in the final single-tail scene. From our darkest fantasies of abduction and rape, through brute force, gun play and pain, to the point of ecstasy and release, Abuse of Power delivers a unique glimpse into the way men play together on the edge.

Now, for a more personal take on Abuse of Power, a look at the trailer courtesy of TitanMen.com, an excerpt from the Scene Breakdown for ROUGH. Abuse of Power and more… Read the rest of this entry »

Best of: the Blog

5 January 2010 21:30

Smokin'Best of: the BlogPortland, OR – On September 29th of 2007 I posted my first entry to this blog. It was a quick and not-so-dirty little post coinciding with the release of Fear and my public foray into the adult industry. The Blog has evolved over the past couple years. It is at times promotional; documenting shoots, current projects and the latest releases. At other times my blog is more reflective and personal. My blog has also served as a forum for my essays and thoughts on community and what I like to call this thing of ours meaning queer leather/fetish and BDSM. On December 30th, Unzipped awarded an Unzippy to my blog as Most Informational (while still being hot) Blog. After learning of the award I got to thinking about the past year and decided to indentify ten entries that I believe best represent my contributions to the blogosphere. Now, for my “best of: the Blog’ list for 2009… Read the rest of this entry »

Why the Fuck am I Doing This?

31 December 2009 21:44

ReflectiveWhy the Fuck am I Doing This?Portland, OR – This is going to be a far more personal and reflective entry than most of those that I have written before. A couple weeks ago XBIZ, the adult industry association, announced their nominations for 2010 awards. Among nominations ranging from Toy Manufacture of the Year to GLBT Company of the year to Transsexual Performer of the Year, there are the nominations for Gay Director of the Year. Among the individuals I know and respect nominated for Gay Director of the Year are Brian Mills, Chi Chi LaRue, Chris Ward, Kristofer Weston, Mr. Pam (with Michael Lucas), Steve Cruz & Leif Gobo, Steven Scarborough, and Paul Wilde (who is co-nominated with me for our work on the Rough line). Wow! I definitely didn’t expect this kind of recognition when I first got into the industry.

To understand why I do what I have done and what motivates me toward the future, I offer my initial attractions, my proclivity toward rough trade, what it’s like getting caught in the act and how I’m cruising for more… Read the rest of this entry »

Community Building

MonsignoreCommunity Building35,000 FT – By the time I get this posted, I will have already arrived back home in Seattle, but as it is, I’m writing this post on the last leg of my trip inbound at about thirty-five thousand feet above somewhere in Texas (and yes, Fuck Texas!). As you can probably guess, I’m back on the road again, traveling the United States and Canada, exploring the fetish/Sm scenes across the continent and contributing what I can to a broader sense of community. Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver, BC for the Mr Leatherman Vancouver 2010 contest. This past weekend I was in Tampa, FL for Leather Ball 3. I’ll be in Seattle, WA this coming weekend for M4MKink.com’s Gear Night at the Cuff Complex and a gig at the local bath house. And shortly after that, I’ll be ringing in the New Year at Steam Portland, with quite a contingent of boys in tow, I might add. Yes, it looks like we’re getting busy again. For a recap of the events in Vancouver and Tampa the past couple weeks as well as more details on what to expect as 2009 comes to a close… Read the rest of this entry »

Released: Battle Creek Breakdown

26 November 2009 14:17

CagedReleased: Battle Creek BreakdownSeattle, WA – On Tuesday Titan Media released Battle Creek Breakdown. Again, although I generally consider myself a fetish performer, each year I try to complete one or two non-fetish features in an effort to broaden my experience within the industry and cross market appeal. Last year those two features, Chainsaw and Home Invasion, were both directed by Joe Gage. I positively love getting the chance to work with the legendary director Joe Gage. His early movies, especially the Working Man Trilogy, totally helped define my queer identity, and I feel truly honored to now have been a part of three of his more recent projects.

Now, for a closer look at Battle Creek Breakdown, an excerpt from the Scene Breakdown for Battle Creek Breakdown and more… Read the rest of this entry »

Sex Advice with an Edge (Part 2)

25 November 2009 13:20

FocusSex Advice with an Edge (Part 2)Seattle, WA – The second part of my podcast interview with Dr Dick’s Sex Advice with an Edge is live. Apparently, part one of my chat with Dr Dick has been his most popular podcast to date, breaking all download records for a single podcast in a single week. Who woulda thought? In this, the second part, the Doc and I discuss: my fan base that includes loads of kinky women; my polyamorous relationships with Derek da Silva, Chris Yosef, Timmy and our pup Element; open, honest communication as key to relationship success; Power Play from my introductions to my life now as a power Switch; the exhilaration of creating scenes for my subs; the cathartic and recreational aspects of BDSM; and the importance of working with sex positive & kink-positive healing and helping professionals. You can check out Dr Dick’s Sex Advice site and download Podcast 170 to take a listen. I definitely hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Sex Advice with an Edge (Part 1)

18 November 2009 12:54

FocusSex Advice with an Edge (Part 1)Seattle, WA – Yesterday I sat down with Dr Dick for a podcast interview as part of his Sex Advice with an Edge series. You’ll recall my boy Chris Yosef did an interview with the Doc a few months ago and I was called out to add my take on this thing of ours. In this first part of our interview we discuss: the need for a body double, or at least a cock double; the Pacific Northwest as a hotbed of perversion; my on-screen persona being the same as my off-screen persona; how I got my start in the ‘art film’ industry; workshops Derek da Silva and I present together; my mentors; my collaboration with Titan Media and the new Rough line; the challenges, opportunities and future of porn; the bareback phenomenon; and my essay A More Nuanced Position. As the summary of the podcast from Dr Dick states… Read the rest of this entry »

Associate Applicants’ Weekend 2009

17 November 2009 20:08

ReflectiveAssociate Applicants' Weekend 2009Seattle, WA – Landing in Seattle was like a return to reality. Often when I fly out to attend Chicago Hellfire Club (CHC) events, especially those with my boy Derek Da Silva, I feel as though I’ve escaped… escaped from the harsh realities of the day-to-day; escaped from the ever present judgment of those who don’t understand; escaped from every type of relationship except the type of relationship in which you would expect love and respect; escaped… I put my boy Derek in his place. We had an awesome three-way with Douggerz, his partner of more than a decade. I shared time with my brother Odie and Cousin Rob. I had a photo shoot to document my current physical state. I was pampered more than one would expect. And I ran some much over-due scenes. To give you I glimpse into all of these things… Read the rest of this entry »
