S3E19: The Daddy Cream Interview
Send us Fan Mail If you don't know adult entertainer Daddy Cream aka Jovan Joseph, then this is a great introduction. I first met Daddy Cream in 2021. My first conversation with him was via text message. I remember being struck by how forward and business savvy he was. By then I was intrigued and I thought, " okay he talks this good, but does he have the goods." And he did. It was a great scene. Jovan recently self-published a memoir called, The Truth Behind It All. I read it before sitting down with him. It gave me great insight on both his character and what his life was like growing up in Northern California under the care of his loving grandmother. We went on to discuss his relationship with his mother, meeting his estranged father, coming out, trouble with the law and having a baby with his best friend. I hope you enjoy. Support the show

S3E16: Open Lines - Sweaty Feet, Socks, Balls and Men!
Send us Fan Mail Eris runs a twitter page called Foot Fetish Papi. You would think we were going to get an earful of feet in this episode, but as it turns out Eris gets down with a lot more than just men's feet. I came across Foot Fetish Papi on twitter while looking for people in the foot fetish for this season. When Eris and I finally sat down and went over some topics of discussion, I quickly realized Eris was just crazy about locker rooms, socks, feet, balls, you name it. As a businessman and developer, he's surrounded by construction workers. You can only imagine where his imagination goes and the encounters he is willing to talk about. Enjoy! Support the show

S3E14: The Magic Mike Hung Interview
Send us Fan Mail This week I met up with producer, content creator and Indian porn star Magic Mike Hung. I have not worked with Mike just yet but after meeting this beautifully down to earth and passionate man, I genuinely cannot wait. Mike began his career at the height of the COVID pandemic and has become a sensation on fan sites and Twitter. Among other topics of discussion we explore his feelings about crossing into studio porn and whether the lack of Indian porn stars in the industry is cultural or manufactured. My intrigue, however lies deep within who Mike is; a gay porn star by today's standards who just so happens to be Indian as well. We talk about growing up in the west coast and his move to the states after graduate studies and the sharp views on homosexuality and pornography back home in India. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. Support the show

S3E13: The Straight Fart Gods Interview w. Kenny
Send us Fan Mail Kenny is the producer and operator of his fansite, Straight Fart Gods. What exactly does he do there?! Well in this episode of DGP, you're about to find out. I know that there are all sorts of fetishes and kinks out there and one I came across not too long ago was Eproctophilia; a sexual arousal to farts. Scratching your head yet? Well don't. It is far more common than you would think. I would have had an episode about this community in the first season but I blew it (no pun). The interviewee was turned off at coming on the show after I giggled when he told me he liked farts. I'll never do that again. A model turned me on to Kenny and his videos. Kenny has been an active member of this community and he produces videos where people sit on his face and fart. But that's just the surface. Go ahead and take a listen. Xx. P.S. Kenny would like to extend a two week free subscription to the first 10 subscribers if you are into it: https://t.co/w251mZEnP2 Support the show

S3E12: Open Lines - The Existent "Poz"Fetish
Send us Fan Mail Did you know that since the late 1990's there have been gay men who actually fetishize and fantasize about getting HIV? When I stumbled upon this in the early 2000's, the men who transmitted HIV to willing men were called "gift-givers." The men that wanted to contract HIV, for various different reasons were called, "bug-chasers." I had forgotten about this underground community but in my search to understand and demystify, I came across MANY men on various social media platforms who were in fact hosting conversion parties, gift-giving and bug-chasing. There is indeed a "poz" fetish and it is thriving. I reached out to many men in this community and after a bunch of "no thanks..." I was referred to a user on Twitter who was very open about his HIV status and his passing along his virus to anyone who wants it. This is our discussion. This was one of the toughest conversations for me to have and try to understand but I am very grateful for the subject's openness and honesty. Support the show

Before entering the gay porn industry you may have even known him as Pastor Kevin. Hailing from the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, Vynm was in town to shoot some scenes with me and before we did, we got some time in to discuss his long career and his new book called, A Life of Lust (Memoirs of THE Porn Star). Of course, once we start talking we allow ourselves to go everywhere from Vynm's growing up surrounded by religion, the idea that we are god, selling sex with sex, the importance of sexual education today and splitting the porn personality from the everyday man.

S3E8 - Open Lines: Youth and Sexuality
Send us Fan Mail Jake is a listener of the podcast who is in his early 20's. I suspect that I have probably gotten him off a time or so through one of the many scenes I've produced. I received a message from Jake last year where he mentioned being in the closet and having a tough time telling his family he as gay. Having gone through a similar situation when I was younger, I wanted him to know that if he needed to confide in me, he could. I also thought it would be a great conversation to have and share with other listeners who may find themselves in a similar situation. He agreed. Throughout our conversation we discuss where he is in terms of coming out, his introduction to porn, sex, kinks, fetishes and all the fun thought processes that are involved when you're a young man in 2022.

S3E6: Adam Zmith, Author of Deep Sniff: The History of Poppers and Queer Futures
Send us Fan Mail While researching poppers one day, I thought, "Gosh, wouldn't it be great if someone just wrote an informative, comprehensive and witty a book about them." Author Adam Zmith, did just that. I literally took a week off of work to bunker down and read Deep Sniff so I could share this interview. Poppers, known technically as amyl nitrates or "VCR cleaner," more recently, are the subject at hand in Deep Sniff, historically being used to treat Angina and other ailments long before becoming the party drug many know and love. Zmith articulately guides the conversation, from the creation of poppers, its recreational use in the 60's and 70's, the decline of use and stigma during the AIDS epidemic and its resurgence in not only queer nightlife but mainstream culture in general.

S3E3: The Derek Cline Interview
Send us Fan Mail I cannot begin to describe how eye-opening meeting this young man was for me. Derek Cline is a very popular porn model who has worked with various studios, but before we sat down to discuss, I was intrigued by how open he was to talking about things most people won’t. We go from Derek’s early life to teaching me about the monster that is TikTok all the way to conspiracy theory and the sociopolitical zombie movies of George Romero! Of course we talk about porn! But then we jump into witchcraft and his discovery of Tarot. When I call this an eye-opening discussion it’s because here’s a young man in America right now with an amazing head on his shoulders; it’s hopeful. I knew they were out there! Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Bruce La-F*ckingBruce; writer, actor, photographer, director and pornographer. I first met Bruce on the set of his 2010 film L.A. Zombie, but hardcore cinephiles may know him for his earlier controversial contributions to film. While in town promoting his new film, St. Narcisse, I was able to sit down with Bruce and discuss his beautiful new film and the themes he explores in it as well as his prior critically acclaimed work. We then discuss his ability to exist in between the art scene while making hardcore porn; pushing the boundaries of fetish, kink and sexuality all mixed together with personal politics and experiences. From his days as a writer for magazines (zines) in the early 90’s, to film, to being a prominent figure in the queer-core movement, we go through it. Enjoy! Support the show
