My 2 Cents Worth....Porn Is Not Evil ......

We do a lot of shaming in this community;
  • Fat-shaming
  • Slut-shaming
  • Truvada-shaming
  • Race-shaming
  • Trans-shaming
  • Age-shaming
Let's talk Porn shaming. 

Really Rose?!  Really?????

OK, so we're all grown ups here so here is how it goes.......

Stop it.  Just stop it.

I am not going to even go into the BILLIONS of dollars a year spent on the consumption of porn.
I am not going to even go into the THOUSANDS of blogs dedicated to porn; porn performers, and/or nudes.
I am not going to even go into the HUNDREDS of professional adult actors who routinely turn up for work and do the job that allows us to spank our monkeys on a regular basis.

And here is what we really are not going to do.

We are not going to shame people who do porn.
We are not going to shame people for the type of porn they do.
We are not going to shame the use of the word porn and instead use the pasteurised version "adult entertainment".  We can use either, or both.  Neither is a "dirty word".

We are not going to shame people who like or do porn.

Porn - made with consenting adults - is an industry that is not "dirty".
Porn is an industry that supplies jobs.  Many jobs.
Porn is an industry that values safety.  In spite of the small number of high profile HIV infections, the Porn/Adult Industry has a better safety record than Construction, Nursing, Public Transportation and even Teaching.  It makes news because it is fundamentally about sex.  And sex sells.

Porn is porn.  It is an Industry.  It is the Supply that meets Demand.  It is a culture in and of itself that sits within our own culture.

Porn - and those who do it and/or watch it - are not evil.

Stop demonising those in it, and those who like it.

We can and must do better as a community.

And that's my 2 Cents Worth.

Shalom

So Hot Saturday 2.... Guybone Media....

So there's a relative new but totally "fresh" site for us to ogle called GuyBone Media.

I'm a big fan of this site.  The guys are all what I could see on the street any day of the week.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE me some big, beefy, perfect porn stars/actors like those used at Titan and Hot House, but I am a big fan of the "guy next door". 

There will be an interview re behind the site coming soon, but in the meantime go check it out.  It's refreshing and real sex by real guys.  I love it.

PS Of course I wasn't going to post without some pics :)

Enjoy !

(Q)  For the benefit of our 2CWDU readers, please introduce yourself and your profession.

I'm Christian Mitchell, a gay porn model/actor

 

(Q) How did you get into the industry?

I'd previously done BDSM print modeling work several years ago, but never did any porn movies.  I'd always wanted to do them, though.  Years went by and I finally got my body to a point where I was comfortable showing it off.    Finally, one night I decided I needed to take the plunge before I got too old. So I took some halfway decent selfies and submitted them to Hot House.  I had some technical difficulties while submitting my online application, and I thought I'd pretty much blown it.    But, about three days later I got an email back from Director Christian Owen asking if I was interested in shooting a Club Inferno scene.



(Q) Are you enjoying yourself?

I'm having the time of my life.  



(Q) What are some of the positive experiences in the industry?

I've had the privilege of working with some of the most creative and talented people anywhere.  They've also been some of the nicest and friendliest people. 


(Q) What are some of the negatives in the industry?

You do have to have tough skin to be in this business.  You are putting yourself out there, literally naked for the world to see.  People can be quick to make flippant comments as if they were experts. You have to be able to not only deal with that, but also not let all the attention go to your head.   
 

(Q) Do you experience attempts by people to stereotype you / be overly familiar or inappropriately intimate with you at venues?

Again, this type of thing comes with being in the business.  I'm just thrilled to be recognized as a porn actor. Period.  I've not had anything happen where anyone has been inappropriate.  


(Q) Are you open to friends and/or family about your work?

Yes.  My mother and sister knows.  Of course my husband also knows.  My boss at my day job is gay and he knows too.



(Q) Do you also escort?

No.    But all inquiries will be considered on a case-by-case basis.


(Q) Can you remember when you became sexually aware and how that came about?

I was probably about ten.  Later on, when I started having wet dreams and realized that were always about being with men, I knew I was gay.
 

(Q) When did you lose your virginity and how?

I lost my virginity my freshman year in college at age 18, first with a girl and then a few months later with a guy. That first gay sexual experience was the beginning of a 13 year relationship.


(Q) When (if) did you come out to your family and what was the experience like?

My mother and sister already figured out I was gay by the time I was ready to come out to them.  It was a cathartic, but ultimately positive experience.  Actually it was a big relief to all of us once it was over.



(Q)  Are you single? In a relationship?

I am married to a wonderful man.



(Q) If single, is it hard to date due to your profession?
If in a relationship, how do you manage the dynamics of your profession with your partner?

I sat down with my husband and told him my intention to work in porn. He already knew me well enough, so he wasn't surprised.  We both know that there is a difference between the sexual acts I perform on set, which is work. ...and the sex and intimacy we enjoy together, which is really making love.  In general he finds my adventures in porn quite amusing.


(Q) There is a perception that when Adult Actors are together that it is basically a sexual free for all.
How do you interact with each other?  Is it open season?  Bitchy?  Polite and Professional?  Is there a sense of community?  Give us some insights...

I've made some wonderful friendships with several of my peers in the business. All the other porn actors I've met have been incredibly friendly and welcoming.  


(Q) Do you have one particularly memorable scene/experience you are willing to share?

My recent Pantheon Productions scene with Steve "Titpig" Hurley really stands out.  He was the most affectionate and loving scene partner I've had so far.  He is a true Icon in the gay porn world and I'm thrilled I got to work with him.  I hope to do it again soon.


(Q) Do you have one particularly HORRIBLE scene/experience you are willing to share? (No names)

Without boring you with the details, I'll just say that I've learned to avoid working with  guys who are Gay4Pay, either on set, or a part of the production team. 
 
 
(Q) What is your stance on bareback scenes/porn?
 
I don't do bareback scenes.  Safe sex (condom/glove) only.  I've dodged way too many bullets in life already.  Plus I have a husband to protect also.
 

(Q) Truvada is the issue de jour.  Your take?

I currently don't use Truvada, but I do always use condoms.  And when or if I ever use PrEP, I will likely continue to use condoms.

Is there anything else you would like to share with our 2 Center’s?

Everyone has something about them that's sexy.  Find out what it is...and work it like it's never been worked before.
 
 
Thanks to Christian Mitchell for being my profile this week.  I told you he's a sweetie!  And I can't wait to meet him in person one day..... BEAR HUG!!
 
Take care all

2 Profile .... Marc Angelo ... Adult Entertainer.....

So now we continue our look into the world of Adult Entertainment.

I told you that I would have some interesting personalities that will be featured on the blog over the coming weeks.  So let's continue with the very hirsute, handsome and hot Marc Angelo - Adult Entertainer.

I have had the pleasure chatting with Mr Angelo on twitter and he is a very interesting character indeed.
So rather than go on about how much he makes me swoon and lets get on it with it.

I wish Marco well in both life and in his career.

Please enjoy !

(Q)  For the benefit of our 2CWDU readers, please introduce yourself and your profession.
Name is Marc Angelo and well for the purposes of this interview I am an adult entertainer :)



 (Q) How did you get into the industry?
Well it kind of just happened :)  I was contacted on BMB with a very interesting message: "Would you ever consider to partake in an adult entertainment feature". Since this is a fantasy in the back of each man's head – I said of course but I don't think I am good enough for it. I was referring to the fact I am not all muscled, hot and endowed, which is usually what people look for (especially the last part ;).



 (Q) Are you enjoying yourself?
Very much so! Not necessarily during making it, but what excites me most is the fact that someone would watch it afterwards and get off on it.



(Q) What are some of the positive experiences in the industry?
You get to live fantasies, and you become part of other men's fantasies :)



(Q) What are some of the negatives in the industry?
Sometimes you encounter politics, rudeness by the same people you are making money for.  Some times you encounter bad scene partners.  But porn is work – you do the job as best as you can.



(Q) Do you experience attempts by people to stereotype you / be overly familiar or inappropriately intimate with you at venues?
Hasn’t happened to me yet (I might not be all that popular ;) at venues, but it sure is happening online i.e. twitter.


 (Q) Are you open to friends and/or family about your work?
To the ones who care to know. Meaning I don't hide it but I also don't go around telling everyone with no reason.


(Q) Do you also escort?
Nope. Not that I have anything against it – I would do it but I am a married man :)


 (Q) If so, how do you find the escorting experience?  What is it to you and how do you conduct yourself and your interactions with clients?
If I were doing it – it would excite me the fact that I am giving the client what they need and really want. There are more nuances to this but basically that's it. It's a clear cut transaction in which everyone gets what they need.


(Q What are your thoughts on Bareback in the Industry?
Well personally I don’t do BB work, I keep that for my husband, but I am not at all against it! In fact when I watch porn – I much rather see BB porn!


  
(Q) What are your thoughts on Truvada?
Evidently I have none since I had to Google it to see what it is.
 

(Q) Can you remember when you became sexually aware and how that came about?
When I was 11-12 but how exactly – can't tell – this is a process.
 

(Q) When did you lose your virginity and how?
That depends if you are using Clinton's definition of sex or not :)    Oral sex – when I was 14 but saved my ass (not by choice) until I was 28. Fear not – I caught up pretty fast ;)



(Q) When (if) did you come out to your family and what was the experience like?
After I moved to Canada since back in my old country I wasn't actively gay, had no reference to it. That is not to say "I were not gay" – of course I was but not acting on it was confusing and there was nothing to come out about.


(Q)  Are you single? In a relationship?
I am married to a very hot and adorable Aussie furry bear :) He is also a famous Music Producer – Division 4 (no not the TV show from down under ;)
(Is his first name Charles?)



(Q) If single, is it hard to date due to your profession?
If in a relationship, how do you manage the dynamics of your profession with your partner?

My hubby loves my porn, in fact he always watches it unlike me – I rarely watch my work – too critical about it.


(Q) There is a perception that when Adult Actors are together that it is basically a sexual free for all.
How do you interact with each other?  Is it open season?  Bitchy?  Polite and Professional?  Is there a sense of community?  Give us some insights...
I don't know if there is such perception or not, but it definitely is not the case. If not anything else, even the basic reason that you must save your load for the scene doesn't permit much slutting around :) Interaction is very different with different guys. People are different, with some you click and is easy going, with others you don't. But no – never bitchy or anything unprofessional because at the end of the day if there is any tension – it does shows on camera. Generally models on set are courteous, professional, little playful at times (to set the mood). I won't go as far as saying "community" really..



 (Q) Do you have one particularly memorable scene/experience you are willing to share?
Well I have many memorable scenes for different reasons :)  But how do you pick.. I suppose the very first one would be a good example :)  Back then I had no idea how to do anything, what's going on.. It was a 3-way and the other two guys had quite a bit of experience – well they are both pros. And I was getting lost not sure what to do at times. Of course my nerves were beyond tight tense. Oh but the best part was that I was suppose to be DP'ed, which was a fantasy of mine but let me tell you – both those guys have BIG THICK DOCKS! It was hurting so much my entire body was shaking hard. It took 4 attempts until it finally happened. But it was also hurting them a lot – not just me. Sadly the editing process showed only the pain and not much of the satisfying result :)
 

(Q) Do you have one particularly HORRIBLE scene/experience you are willing to share? (No names)
Horrible – not, unpleasant yes. I was a bottom and the top was a guy with a BIG tool, who had many many scenes behind his back. So you would expect he would do things "properly", well let me tell you – this guy had NO IDEA how to fuck!  And I have noticed in life in general a lot of those "I am 100% with a big dick" guy rarely know how to fuck well. It takes a bottom to know how to fuck right! So even tho it was painful and very uncomfortable – I had to act as I am having the time of my life. And sure enough – most of the feed back I got form fans was – "love watching you having so much fun getting pounded by so so's big dick" :)

 

  
(Q) Now the 2 Cents Worth Down Under Qquickies

BEER mostly but some nights a very fine scotch on rocks is in order.
 
Favourite Food...

Do you have a particular type of man you are attracted to...?
FURRY WOOFY BEARS
 
Fave way to spend a lazy Sunday morning...
HAVENT HAD ONE OF THOSE IN A LONG TIME :) BUT IT WOULD BE EATING CREPES AND WATCHING TV :)
Is there anything else you would like to share with our 2 Center's?

I have a pet peeve with people who after doing one or two scenes call them selves "porn star". 

You ain't a star, it is not just a term it's a status you have to achieve. Even tho I've done more then 35 scenes, and have my own DVD already (which not many in the industry get), I still refuse to call my self or to be referred to as a "porn star". This term should be reserved for the few whom everyone has heard of and are being seen in in film and or photos everywhere for years. The names that have survived the test of time and are responsible for many loads! :)





Thank you so much for being a part of my small corner of the blogverse Mr Angelo.
Many blessings of health, hope and happiness to you.

2 Profile.... Adult Entertainer ..... Armond Rizzo.......


It's back !!!  The 2 Cents Worth Profile!!!

I have some interesting and wonderful personalities that will be featured on the blog over the coming weeks.  So let's get started with the very sweet and handsome Mr Armond Rizzo - Adult Entertainer.

This one was a joy for me.

I have had the pleasure of having a few chats with Armond on twitter and he is part of that crop of Adult Actors who readily and enthusiastically engage with their fans.  I have found him to be sweet, very engaging and - you knew I was gonna say it - incredibly sexy.  Oh those eyes :)

I would LOVE a long dinner, a few cocktails, and then an overnight of snuggling (no naughtiness - staying respectful here) with this very attractive young man.

I wish him well in both life and in his career.

Please enjoy !

(2CW)   For the benefit of our 2CWDU readers, please introduce yourself and your profession.

My name is Armond Rizzo I am 23 years old and I am an adult entertainer, model and dancer. I live in San Diego.


 
(2CW)  How did you get into the industry?

My great friend Shane Frost got me in the industry.  We met in Chicago at a club and we started chatting and told him I was interested in the industry and if he could help me out. He said yeah I can def help you out and well its history from there lol.

 
 (2CW)  Are you enjoying yourself?

Of course I am.  What job can you say that allows you to travel and get fucked by the hottest men in the world, and get to meet awesome people everywhere. I am def having the greatest time of my life!




(2CW)  What are some of the positive experiences in the industry?

One of them would be exposure and getting yourself out there.



(2CW)  What are some of the negatives in the industry?

Wow - well one of the negatives is trying to find a life partner, not many people are ok with our job fields.



(2CW)  Do you experience attempts by people to stereotype you / be overly familiar or inappropriately intimate with you at venues?

Yeah all the time - probably all of the above lol I def get from people that they think anyone can sleep with me and that I am easy to get with. Another would be that I have people walk up to in the middle of the day talking about my movies in public to me so it gets a little weird. 



 
(2CW)  Are you open to friends and/or family about your work?

Some friends and family members yes but not completely everyone. I don't believe everyone in my family should know everything that I do!

 (2CW)  Do you also escort?

I used to but now I don't. Personal reasons I feel that it's not for me!

 (2CW)  Can you remember when you became sexually aware and how that came about?

Wow - I used to be horny at a very, very young age.  I’ve always been a horny guy that loves to have sex lol



(2CW)  When did you lose your virginity and how?

I was 18 years old and I lost it from a mentor of mine.  He was hung with a 12 inch dick and he was tempting me by showing me images of his dick till after my 18th birthday he took me out and well I got it lol



(2CW)  When (if) did you come out to your family and what was the experience like?

I came out to my older brother before I came out to my mother.  I was 22 when I came out to my brother and 23 when I came out to my mother. The feeling is like a weight being lifted off your shoulders, you feel free and lifted. I spent nights without sleep and when I came out to my mother I was able to sleep like a baby. I am very blessed and happy that all of my family supports and loves me as who I am. Trusts me it is not easy when you have a very strict Catholic family lol but very accepting.



(2CW)   Are you single? In a relationship?

I am sadly single :-( (See my note below)



(2CW)  If single, is it hard to date due to your profession?

Yeah it's very hard.  Not many people are ok with it and people are very judging about it so yeah this profession can ruin this.


(2CW)  There is a perception that when Adult Actors are together that it is basically a sexual free for all.  How do you interact with each other?  Is it open season?  Bitchy?  Polite and Professional?  Is there a sense of community?  Give us some insights...

Depending on the location and what is going on it is, but honestly we work so much in sex that after a while its good to just sit there and talk about these issues that we deal with, so sometimes is def feels a community.  I mean who better understands the life of adult entertainers than other models.  And it is not always happy fairy tales but when your working with the same models under one roof for a period more than 3 days people do start getting on each other's nerves and, well, family-like drama tends to start and diva moments come out and yes it becomes a very bitchy atmosphere lol but it's rare and mostly is all great seeing friends again and catching up.

 


(2CW)  Do you have one particularly memorable scene/experience you are willing to share?

There was a moment when we were on set filming a Fetish Force scene with Draven Torres, Tony Buff and Leo Forte, I was tied up to a post and Draven was edging me and I thought I was going to shoot my load and he had his mouth on my dick and I said I am going to cum and all that came out was piss, it was so funny yet so embarrassing. Draven was so sweet that he said you're lucky it's me because one of his favorite fetishes is piss play so that was a bonus to him lol.  Awesome memory with great friends on set.



(2CW)  Do you have one particularly HORRIBLE scene/experience you are willing to share? (No names)

All my scenes have been great.  Maybe I'm the usual newby that is very new in the industry and don't know how the filming works lol - knowing angles and lighting - but over all nothing horrible.



(2CW)  Now the 2 Cents Worth Down Under quickies
