San Francisco, CA –- We completed our scene for the Medi/Fetish themed feature for Titan a few minutes ago. It was an excellent shoot.
My scene partner for the production was Colton Steele. Colton had sought me out as a scene partner and we had negotiated out the scene, which included some pretty extreme play, prior to meeting in person. Luckily, we had a brief opportunity to do that at Folsom and Titan had us stay together at the studio apartment for the shoot which gave us the chance to build a connection and the trust necessary for the scene to work.
I was immediately attracted to Colton. I like shorter boys with naturally athletic builds. He has an easy smile and deep brown, expressive (sometimes pleading) eyes. He’s quite furry and very masculine in a simple, honest way. This is enhanced by his personality and attitude. He’s also young and seemed easily distractible. I really don’t understand the txt’in’ phenomenon. To Colton’s credit, when we went to dinner and I told him to put the phone away, he did. I’m glad he did, too. He’s got an interesting background and stories that reveal much about his character. I could fall for this boy.
Colton was clearly comfortable on set, too; present, focused and engaged. The connection was palpable and the scene went without a hitch. I sensed only a little nervousness regarding the fetish portion our scene. By the time we shot that on the second day, the trust was there and it was all I had hope it would be. More on that when the feature is released, I’m sure.
All in all, it was one of the easiest and most enjoyable experiences I’ve have on set. I’ve developed a wonderful working relationship with Brian Mills and Paul Wilde, the crew was exceptional and I had a great scene partner.
Civic Side Bar: My congratulations to the President-Elect, Barak Obama and to the American people for electing him to the highest office in the land. My worries regarding the draconian blow to civil rights and the American principle of equality under the law delivered by the apparent passage of Proposition 8 in California.

Seattle, WA –- All the travel the past few months had left me feeling a little under the weather and a fuck load of shit at home to deal with over the past couple weeks. It took some time but I’ve finally kicked that cold I brought back from Folsom and have caught up on just about everything on the home front. Bonus, I got a chance to spend the evening with my boy Jeff Wednesday night and he decided to stay over. It was perfect.
He’s attractive, intelligent and the time I get to spend with him is among the happiest in my life. I don’t think I can really describe how I feel about him with any success. I’ve tried but the words just don’t convey the depth and complexity. It’s as if the emotions have the physical qualities of hunger. And forgive me, but the sex with that boy is absolutely amazing.
In addition to getting some time with Jeff, Derek and I got to spend a fairly low-key weekend together over Halloween. We used the spooky holiday as an excuse to have screams emanating from my apartment in Seattle and had at least two really good scenes during his trip. One was a medical fetish scene I engineered for an upcoming Titan shoot I wanted to crash test on my favorite stunt bottom before taking it on set. The other involved some new bondage for sex rigging that utilizes a bar stool. You can check out some photos of the bar stool rigging here.
Although Jeff wasn’t able to join us, Derek and I attended a Dragon Clan dinner Saturday evening. The Dragons added a couple new members to the Clan that night, but have one more addition to make before I write about the decisions and what they represent to those of us in the family.
I’m off to the airport for that Titan shoot I mentioned now, then back to Seattle for a day before heading to Chicago this weekend. Didn’t I just go through one of these cycles?

Seattle, WA –- Now here’s a movie I can’t wait to watch. Funhouse is an excellent example of the application of artistic vision to gay male pornography. There, I said it, pornography.
As most of you who read my blog regularly know, I refer to my work in the adult film industry as making ‘art films’. This is primarily because I want to help create features that have artistic merit. I count Funhouse in that classification if for no other reason because it is visually stunning.
Following in the tradition of Carny and Cirque Noir, famed director (and my fav) Brian Mills continues Titan’s fantasy trip to the carnival with Funhouse. The movie follows two friends, Eduardo and Ethan Anders and they are led through a series of scenes in the funhouse by the erotic and clown masked Francois Sagat. The vignettes include amazing acrobatics, a bungie cord suspension and some intense ass play concluding with what promises to be a heated muscle fuck three-way finale. Adding to the visual impact are some of the most impressive latex costumes and cinematography captured on video.
For my half-scene [Note to Self: try not to laugh out loud when you mention this was only a half-scene], I played the demented referee officiating the matches between rubber clad wrestlers Derek da Silva, Josh West and Rocky Torrez. But don’t fret, I’m in plenty of the action and the sex was as hot as those costumes under the studio lighting. At one point I literally fuck the piss out of my boy Derek, although I don’t know if it made the cut. And the scene ends with a spectacular bungie cord suspension envisioned by Derek that I helped engineer and rig. The dailies I saw on set from that particular part of the scene were fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
You can learn more about Funhouse here, take a look at my stills and promotional photos in the gallery I’ve posted or purchase your own copy from TitanMen.com.

San Francisco, CA –- Enough with all the serious stuff. The weekend hasn’t been all work and no play. As I mentioned in my previous posts, Derek was in from Chicago and we had a lot of fun together. We didn’t have any major scenes but the kind of sustained play throughout the weekend that events like this and the city of San Francisco allows for.
While we were out Saturday night, we met an adorable Puerto Rican boy named Rico. Rico was a blast to play with. I did a little rope work then Derek and I took turns choking the boy out at the bar. Rico had never had it done to him before and totally loved it. When he came to after the first time, he was a giddy as a little boy with a new toy… so cute. Turns out, Rico is quite an experienced player, too. He’s even done work for Kink.com for the Men in Pain series.
You can imagine my pleasant surprise when I ran into Rico again last night after Derek flew back to Chicago. I had no problem picking up with Rico where we left of the night before (pictures above and left).
Yes, those are bite marks on and an anal hook shoved up his ass. We played well into the morning and I enjoyed every minute. I’m hoping to reconnect with Rico sometime soon in the future. Perhaps I’ll be able to talk him into being a scene partner in an upcoming ‘art film’.

San Francisco, CA –- Sometimes I question why we do the things we do. In relation to the leather/Sm community I most often question why we do title contests. You’d think I’d question why we engage in the type of play we do, but no. I’m intellectually satisfied by my understanding of those motivations. What I question is the return on the investment we make in titles and title contests.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must admit my involvement in the title circuit is extensive. That involvement stems back only six years to 2002 when I competed for and won Washington State Mr Leather, but has expanded quickly. I now serve on the board of the Washington State Mr|Ms Leather Organization (WSMLO) and produce that contest in addition to serving on the board of Generic Leather Productions of Washington which produces the Northwest Leather Sir/boy and Community Bootblack contest. I have emceed, auctioneered, presented, performed and judged at a various local, regional and international title contest events around the country.
I know it sounds like I’m pretty committed to these events but I will be the first to admit they can be quite ridiculous… well maybe not the first. I know producing any one of these contests is a tremendous endeavor requiring the efforts of many volunteers. I wonder about the impact these events have on those that attend and compete; not to mention why the results of these contests can at times elevate individuals that make such pathetic title holders. I ask myself if these are a better approach or alternative to every aspect of the process. I can’t help but ask if all this effort provides any value add to the community we are trying to serve.
As I attend the International Leather Sir/boy and International Community Bootblack (ILSb & ICBB) contest in the auspicious position of serving as a judge for the competition I am reminded of all these questions and taken back to the time I stood on the other side of the long table before a similar panel of judges.
After the death of my military/Sm family in southern California, I moved to Seattle. Approaching and breaking into the scene back then was no easy task. I was reluctant to form any close bonds after losing so many and know I wasn’t the only one that felt that way in the early ’90s. The fact I was a skinny, little twink with a cocky attitude, impulsive nature and residual anger management issues didn’t help much either.
Then I went away for a while. By the time I got back out and into the scene again five years later, few viewed me as little more than some circuit boy. It took entering a leather title contest to connect with the people I could trust enough to expand my Sm experience. Running for and serving as Washington State Mr Leather in 2002 was the catalyst that gave me the chance to grow into my current role as an activist in our community. For better or worse, it thrust me into a leadership role, but also exposed me to leaders that set the example to emulate.
Now I’m not suggesting that my experience is common. Of all those who enter a title contest only one emerges with that title and the impact of the experience will be as unique as each individual’s efforts. Regardless of the outcome, every contestant that steps up can find personal growth through the experience and a sense of accomplishment by taking the challenge. For those with a social agenda, the time on stage and the possibility of a title year can provide an excellent platform. For those with leadership potential, it can open up resources to help mentor and groom that potential.
I’ll add that many of these benefits are not limited to contestants and title holders. Contests and the activities associated with these events provide ample opportunities for the members of our community to come together. Whether a spectator or volunteer the bonds that can be created at these events can last a lifetime.
Are title contests the only means to theses ends? No, there are regional events like CLAW and leather/Sm runs like Inferno and Boot Camp that draw players from around the world in a spirit of camaraderie. In many ways I find these non-contest events preferable to those involving sashes, but there is still something of value to titles. We have a long tradition of leadership and community activism associated with leather titles. From local and regional contests through international titles, the organizations and individuals involved have worked to elevate social consciousness on issues affecting our communities like AIDS and drug addiction. They have sponsored and presented opportunities to expand our BDSM skills and knowledge. They’ve raised funds for non-profits serving those of us most in need. They have helped us morn our dead and cultivate new generations of leaders. They are a source of history and cohesion.
I am confident that these traditions will continue with the current International Leather Sir/boy and Community Bootblack title holders (pictured right). Please join me in congratulating and welcoming International Leatherboy 2008, Bill Hoeppner from Florida; International LeatherSIR 2008, Raul Mendez from Florida; and International Community Bootblack 2008, Black-Jack Pearce of Toronto, Canada. When I was asked to judge the ILSb & ICBB competition I came to the panel with one goal, to witness real players emerge with the titles. I didn’t care if they were novice or experienced players so long as they were honest and responsible players. There is no doubt in my mind that these three men meet that criterion. Mark Frazier, Randal Kinnear and their crew did an amazing job producing this year’s competition and I am very pleased by both the move to San Francisco and the renewed focus on making these, the players’ titles. I also want to thank Titan Media for stepping up as a sponsor for the contest. I’m proud to be associated with a studio that actually invests back into the community.

Seattle, WA –- Last Sunday Titan Media released Folsom Undercover, the latest installment of the award winning line of co-branded Folsom films. This is the fourth year Titan and Folsom Street Fair organizers have co-presented a leather/Sm themed feature with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the TitanMen/Folsom Fund, which supports nonprofit organizations that specialize in gay men’s health. This is yet another example of why I feel so comfortable aligning myself with the studio. There is something to be said about doing work that you not only enjoy but also benefits the community you’re a part of.
I haven’t seen the movie yet (my copies are being shipped as I write this), but I can say from what I’ve seen from the breakdown on NakedSword my scene with Dirk Jager, Frank Philipp and Titus where we initiate Tyler Peter seems to contribute much of the content for the film. I know the scene includes some good rope bondage, wax play and plenty of sexual action. I’m also told one of my cum shots is pretty spectacular too. I’m sure I’ll have some comments once I’ve viewed the finished product.
Until then, you can learn more about Folsom Undercover here, take a look at my stills and promotional photos in the gallery I’ve posted or purchase your own copy from TitanMen.com.

San Francisco, CA –- Yesterday marked the first anniversary of my art film debut with the release of Fear, the release of my seventh feature Folsom Undercover and the second Folsom Street Fair with my boy Derek. This entry also marks the one year anniversary of this blog which has chronicled what has proven to be a wild and unexpected adventure.
Wild is definitely the adjective I’d use to describe yesterday’s festivities at the street fair. Derek and I arrive a little after noon to work our shifts at the TitanMen/NakedSword mega booth and the streets were already crowed asshole to bellybutton with people. Titan provided headshots for all the performers to sign, calendars to give away and a large stack of my ‘trading cards’ from NakedSword for me to hand out. As soon as we got into the booth there were calls from the crowd for autographs and photo ops. Derek and I jumped right in greeting both fans and friends as they came to the booth, giving away studio swag and a gift of our own.
Derek and I brought 300 black & white checkered hankies to hand out at the booth this year (photo above). The checker hanky is the hanky code flag for safer sex and represents a commitment to responsible play. Over the past year we’ve learned of far too many of our friends and acquaintances seroconverting, witnessed a cavalier attitude toward safer sex practices grow to become nearly normative and risk behavior touted as transgressive, edgy and cool. Bull shit.
The checker hanky was introduced in the 80’s, when as a community we worked hard to advocate safer sex and get the message out. And it worked; HIV transmission rates decreased through the 80’s and 90’s. Now, as we begin the 21st century, HIV transmission rates are on the rise among men who have sex with men. Something’s gone terribly wrong.
I was lucky; I got the message early. I realized I love sex and learn at an early age that the safer I was doing it the longer I’d be around to do it. I know a couple of ‘art film’ personalities handing out checkered hankies isn’t going to make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, but if we can encourage even a few people to stand fast in their personal commitment to sexual health and the health of their partners regardless of HIV status then perhaps the message will reach more people than 300 checkered hankies.
Last year might have been larger than life but this year was mobile. Titan had wrapped the studio’s production van with the images of several exclusives, including yours’ truly (image above). We were playing the Blu-Ray™ edition of Folsom Undercover in the back of the van, but I wasn’t in a position to see the movie. I don’t think we would have had much time to take it in anyway. Titan seemed to have everyone on hand for the event. François Sagat, Dean Flynn, Diesel Washington, Alex Baresi, Dirk Jager, Frank Philipp, Eduardo, Rich van Sant, Chad Manning, Dominic Sol and Marco Blaze were all at the booth in addition to Derek and me.
Bonus: In addition to all those beautiful men, there was one more wonderful surprise, my boy from Seattle. Jeff (photo right) had been vacationing in Hawaii and had changed his flights home to include a stopover in San Francisco to join Derek and I at the Folsom Street Fair. It was great to have him there, but I wish I had gotten a chance to spend more time with him and I’m sure the whole thing was rather bizarre for him. He was a great help throughout the day and I need to think of a way to thank him for being there… oh, wait, I’ve got a pretty good idea how I can thank him, same way I thanked him yesterday morning for coming into town.
Toward the end of the day, NakedSword ask if Derek and I would come over their booth to create a crowd. It was our pleasure to help out our friends at NakedSword. A little impromptu rope bondage and impact play seemed to do the trick quite nicely (photo below by Darwin Bell for TheSword.com). I tied Derek down in one of my favorite ties for sex, his arms and legs securely bound beneath him with his ass exposed, then proceeded to deliver a good spanking with my hands and belt. The crowed seemed both horrified by and attracted to the intensity of this spur of the moment scene, which was really quite timid by our standards. At one point I overheard someone in the throngs say, “its okay they’re partners.”
Afterward, we did a little instructional bondage work, stuck around for some photo ops/autographs and handed out the last of the hankies.
When the street fair closed down Derek, Jeff and I walked over to the Hole in the Wall’s new digs and finally got some quality time together. While many of our friends decided to go to the Real Bad party, we preferred the music and surroundings of one of our favorite dive bars. And did we have fun. There’s nothing like cutting loose after being ‘on’ all day.
This morning we sent Jeff off to the airport for his flight home. Derek and I just got back from brunch and some shopping in the Castro and are about to head out to the airport ourselves. I’m exhausted, have picked up a cold and am not looking forward to saying goodbye to my boy. Luckily we get to see each other again in a couple weeks at ILSb.

San Francisco, CA –- The last couple days have been absolutely, incredibly unbelievable. The over whelming publicity, recognition on the street, reconnecting with the Titan crew and other performers, and a harried schedule have all contributed to this whirl-wind trip to San Fran.
Derek and I arrived at the Oakland airport Friday morning and were immediately inundated by friends and fans. It was kind of unnerving. After checking in with Roger at Shotgun, where we were staying for the weekend, we ventured out to the Castro to get some food and were literally stopped on the street five times by people we knew or knew of us. And that doesn’t count the knowing looks, pointing and candid photos taken by strangers from a distance. It was, well, a little strange. After lunch Derek and I ran into Julian from NakedSword and he showed us my Dream Team trading card and the two-page spread in Gloss magazine. I was really happy to see they had used the image of me standing in my leathers rather than the stills from Breakers for both. After getting back to Shotgun, Derek pointed out the Bay Area Reporter’s Arts & Entertainment section front page with my image from Folsom Prison to me. Well that explained a few things.
Side Bar: Derek has done several Shotgun videos over the few years he’s been doing art films and I got to meet Roger a couple years ago at a leather/Sm run up in Washington State. I immediately fell in love with Roger. That’s him photographed above, beating my nuts during a demo this past summer. That same week Derek and I shot a video for Shotgun under Roger’s direction with permission from Titan. I had wanted to do a video with Roger and Derek since I first started in the industry and I am extremely grateful to Titan for loaning me out under contract to do the video. Roger says Squeeze Play is being edited now, so I’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.
Friday night Derek and I had dinner with Brian Mills from Titan then went to the Men of Discipline Play Party at the Citadel. We were both pretty exhausted after travelling and settling in, but that didn’t stop us from playing. I decided to work out some new rigging; a horizontal side suspension. I hadn’t attempted this in the past so it was fun to just experiment and play around with it and my favorite stunt bottom. It wasn’t a heavy scene or anywhere over the top but a great way for the two of us to connect. I’ll be perfecting the rigging when Derek is in Seattle at the end of October and will post a gallery then.
Yesterday we had rehearsals, diner with the Titan performers and studio execs then the big performance at Magnitude. The rehearsal went well. We finalized the blocking, ran through the choreography and corrected some equipment and lighting issues. The dinner with Brian Mills, Keith Webb, Bruce Cam and all the Titan performers that were brought in for the weekend was really enjoyable. Our performance at Magnitude, however, has become the most memorable experience of the trip thus far.
The Titan Men did four separate performances for Magnitude, the official dance event of the Folsom Street Fair. Dean Flynn, Eduardo and Markus Ram recreated the imagery of the Magnitude poster for the opening set. Dean and a new Titan performer, Marco Blaze had the second set with live sex. The third set featured an elaborate abduction and water sports fantasy with Diesel Washington and a new kid who’s name escapes me. Derek and I had the final performance.
Our performance began behind a scrim, our shadows cast to the audience. A dance remix of Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood plays. As I stood apparently leaning against a wall, Derek walks up to caress my chest. I push his hand away but when he persists and goes for it again I push him to the side. Walking pass him, I emerge from behind the scrim and onto the second riser in front of the audience. Derek follows and touches my shoulder. I turn toward him with rope in hand. He goes to caress my chest again. I grab his wrist, place a slip knot around it and proceed to immobilize his upper body with a quick arm binder. As the music builds, I push him up against a St Andrew’s cross and secure him to it then begin flogging his front side. Derek is naked and hard as a rock while I hit him with the flogger on his thighs, chest, mid-section, cock and balls.
We build to frenzy then stop. I turn while securing the flogger back to my belt and remove the four foot signal whip from my torso. A break in the music occurs and I crack it several times over the audience before turning back to Derek.
I begin to strike his mid-section with the whip. Crack. Crack. Topping my first front side single tail scene. Crack. Crack. The first full cut. Crack. Crack. The second cut and third. The blood comes to the surface as the music comes to its final crescendo. I draw close to my boy and caress him. As the music begins to fall away I rip off my codpiece to reveal my ragging hard-on, put the codpiece in his mouth, untie him from the cross and lead him from stage still bound.
Back stage we were totally wired, amped on the adrenaline and sexual tension. We wanted to fuck… hard. I asked the producer if we could do another set and fifteen minutes later I lead Derek back on stage. I bent him over the second riser, spit on his ass, sheathed my cock and plunged it into his ass. He writhed and pulled away. I looped the whip around his neck and pulled him back on my cock. We fucked for the audience.
I pulled out, moved to the front of the riser and sat down. Derek followed and mounted my cock, riding it up and down, all the way in and all the way out. Again and again, the crowd goes wild. I push him off, stand up on the riser and fuck him there until satisfied. I pull out and remove the condom, shave my cock down his throat and tie the condom to his collar. Then as the music dies, I replace my cock in his mouth with the checker hanky from my back pocket and lead him off stage once again.
There’s nothing quite as exhilarating as fucking your boy in front of a couple thousand people.

A private fraternity has businessmen living second lives, relieving their stress through sexual aggression as they indulge their deepest desires. Four scenes bring you more than 2 ½ hours of unforgettable action, half of it shot in the beautiful outdoors. Led by 11 stunning men, including TitanMen exclusives Tony Buff, Eduardo, Darius Falke, Dean Flynn, Dirk Jager and Rick van Sant, Folsom Undercover is the perfect fetish fantasy for fall. Get undercover and get off!
All the performers will be on-hand to meet their fans at the TitanMen/Naked Sword mega-booth at the corner of Folsom and Dore.

The Folsom Undercover Hardcore Director’s version DVD and Blu-ray™ disc will be for sale exclusively at the booth, and we will be offering special fair pricing on the entire line of award-winning TitanMen DVDs such as Folsom Prison, Folsom Filth, Folsom Leather, Fear and more.
NakedSword.com, the world’s largest Video-on-Demand provider, will also be releasing and broadcasting Folsom Undercover exclusively on VOD. NakedSword.com is the exclusive VOD distributor of the entire co-branded TitanMen/Folsom Series of films.
At the booth, we’ll also be introducing and offering the new TitanMen-branded line of high-quality personal lubricants, available for the first time in the USA. Designed by men for men, this high performance line of lubes is made in Germany to the strictest quality standards.
Look for the TitanMen/NakedSword booth directly in front of the Powerhouse bar at Folsom and Dore Alley. Directly across the intersection from the TitanMen/NakedSword booth will be the official TitanMen Tools booth by Doc Johnson, where the new line of TitanMen-branded and designed sex toys will be on display under the tagline, “Toys are for boys, Tools are for men!”
As producers of the best-selling gay leather and fetish films in the world, TitanMen is proud to be the sole gay studio Presenting Sponsor of the Folsom Street Fair and Magnitude, the largest leather and fetish event in the world. As part of the co-branded TitanMen/Folsom line of hardcore Leather/Fetish films, Folsom Undercover will be released under the “Exclusive Leather/Fetish Films of the Folsom Street Fair” banner. A portion of sales from the Folsom line of DVDs will be donated to the TitanMen/Folsom Fund, which support non-profit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education. In 2007, the fund donated over $25,000 to support non-profits benefiting gay men’s health, and this year’s goal is to top $30,000!
“As a leader within the gay adult industry, TitanMen is proud to be one of the largest studio contributors to non-profit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education,” says Bruce Cam, Founder and CEO of Titan Media. “We have been able to show that protection and profit can go hand-in-hand by producing the best-selling gay adult films in the world while still maintaining a condom only/safer sex policy. The greatest gift we can give back to the community is the portrayal of safer sex and the use of condoms in our films. The value of a single human life is worth more than any amount of money we could ever contribute.”
“TitanMen promotes fetish and leather play as safer and morally responsible alternatives to the growing trend of bareback within the gay adult entertainment industry,” adds Keith Webb, Vice President of Titan Media. “By portraying and eroticizing safer sexual alternatives, TitanMen hopes to lead by example. While other studios promote and sell bareback films that portray and eroticize high-risk unprotected anal sex, TitanMen will hold firm in its steadfast commitment to the community by portraying and promoting condom-only and safer sex in its films.”
I’ve posted the Press Release here in its entirety because it is another excellent example of why I am proud to be associated with Titan and pleased to be representing them to the best of my ability… we share common values. From individual character to social responsibility through production value and community action, these are the kind of people and the type of studio I can ally myself and my talents.
The list of performers slated to appear reads like quite a reunion. I know almost all of these men personally and have worked with many of them on set. I’m excited to see them and the rest of the Titan crew again.
And you can bet on seeing Derek and I at the San Francisco Men of Discipline’s play party on Friday night.

18 September 2008 10:36
Seattle, WA – Late last night I received word that I had been chosen as NakedSword’s Dream Team Player for September. The news came as a bit of a surprise. I definitely didn’t expect it.
Each month the folks at NakedSword select a new player for their Dream Team of what they call porn all-stars. The team includes new comers with promise, big name performers and classic porn figures. I’m in good company with this year’s team which includes my friends Steve Cruz, Diesel Washington and Damien Crosse.
Here’s what they had to say about my selection:
Tony Buff started making “art films” (as he calls them) with the venerable Daddy Zeus, starring in Soldiers of Misfortune. Buff made the movie as a way of exploring his relationship with his boy, Derek da Silva, a unique motivation for this unique porn star. Since then he’s gone on to work for Titan Media, putting his experience and skills as a BDSM top — not to mention his big, thick cock — to good use for the studio.
Buff has done some “vanilla” work for Titan; he and Braxton Bond almost start a forest fire in their scorching scene in Titan’s Chainsaw. However, his best efforts come when he is allowed to explore, and push the limits, of on screen BDSM. Buff collaborated with Brian Mills, working with the notorious Titan director to help create, block out and drive the action for Titan’s Folsom Prison. The title would become one of the most successful of Titan’s co-branded Folsom series. Even when he is not driving the action behind the scenes, his masterful performances have helped to redefine the genre. In Fear, he and Tober Brandt throat-fuck Derek da Silva until he pukes and then bind and suspend the bottom over a pool before alternating between dunking him in the icy water and pissing on him. That scene alone made the movie one of Titan’s most talked about and controversial films to date. It also raised the bar on how far porn goes.
Buff’s passion and drive are not just confined to his on and off-screen BDSM play. He donates his time, energy and talents to a number of social and political causes. He has been twice knighted by the Imperial Sovereign Court of Seattle, received the Leather Emerald Award in 2003, been Sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence®, Abbey of St. Joan and has been adopted by Sandy Reinhardt into Mama’s Family. Buff is currently on the Board of Generic Leather Productions of Washington, an organization that raises money to support other non-profit human services organizations that serve the sexual minority community.
Tony Buff — with his youthful good looks, fat cock and BDSM experience — makes the perfect Dream Team Player for September, the same month that San Francisco’s infamous Folsom Street Fair happens. His creativity and talent make him a power player on screen and off. And his devotion to the community and the causes he believes in show that he is not just another pretty face. We are proud to make Tony Buff our September Dream Team Player.
I’m honored. You can check out the entire profile, including photos and a downloadable background for your screen, here. I understand they’ll have trading cards (images above) available at the Folsom Street Fair later this month.
