One of my favorite porn stars has a very good interview with A Connection TV!
“Pillow Talk” with Seraph
This edition of “Pillow Talk” I had the pleasure to talk with another friend of mine from the Northwest part of the country and up and coming porn star that burst out into the scene last year with a great scene from BlackBreeders. From his initial scene, he was an instant hit with fans. But many folks know of him from his provocative photos posted on various blog sites! So his transition to doing porn was pretty much a given. His sexy looks, lean hairy inked body, juicy ass and thick long uncut dick along with his healthy sexual appetite has made him a sought after porn star! I had an opportunity to talk with Seraph recently about his upbringing in the Seattle area, his love of music and dance, his experience in the military and so much more in this in – depth interview. I hope you enjoy!!!
1. Many of your fans would like to know more about you. So tell us about yourself… How old are you? What was your childhood like? Etc.
My name is Nicholas (aka “Seraph”) and I’m 26 years old. I’m was born and raised in Seattle WA. I had a very happy yet somewhat sheltered childhood. I’m the middle sibling of my older brother (7 years older) and younger sister (2 years younger). So I had my privacy and independence growing up. I was very mature for my age and what folks would call “a square” lol. In school I was the quiet shy nerd in high-water pants that hardly talked and always had my big jacket and hood on trying to hide myself. My focus was school and music, starting clarinet in the 4th grade and moving up to Alto sax in 5th. I joined the marching and symphonic band from middle school to high school until my junior year I switched to concert choir where I sang baritone/bass and I also joined dance team. I was voted “most Unique” and “best Dancer” for my class. I was friends with everyone in school but I never had that group that I belonged to myself. I just went str8 to school, band/ choir events, dance practice, and played video games. Since I didn’t hang with kids outside of school my main influences were my family.
2. Many might not know you’re from the Seattle area. Lots of us don’t think there too many of “us” in the Northwest Region of the Country LOL. What is the gay scene like in the Seattle area? Especially for Men of Color?
LOL very true we are here just hidden in spots. I never been anywhere else so I don’t have anything to compare Seattle’s gay scene to. I just know that when I came onto the gay scene at age 23 I didn’t know any of these dudes. Everything is in Downtown Seattle if you wanna find the gay “Posse’ on Broadway St. and Pike. if you like Pale white men, Seattle is perfect lol. Most of the Snow bunnies are in Seattle and if you want to find black men into black men, you gotta go south to Rainier Beach/Renton or Federal Way/ Tacoma.
3. As we got to know each other over the last couple of years, you told me you were in the military. If you care to share, which branch were you in and how was your experience serving our country?
I was in the Marines from 2006 to 2008. It was ok.. it wasn’t for me. I only joined because I needed to find a means to pay for college. I was expecting more organization and efficiency instead of the “be on time to sit and wait”. I got “recruited” by false means, being told that if I ever went to Iraq that i would be doing my Military occupational skill (MOS) as Warehouse Clerk/Supply, but that wasn’t the case when I got sent to do infantry/base security in Habbaniya, Iraq in 2008′ . I did have some fun times with my fellow enlisted Marines!
4. Did you have some “Hot” times with some of your fellow military brothers?
NOOOOO lol. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was still around and I was still hiding it myself and a virgin at the time. I was in boot camp when I learned that I had a nice size piece lol. it was awkward all of us showering together and then this dude walks up and asks “what’s it like having a big dick?” in front of everyone, like its regular conversation. Everyone starts to join in talking about it, another guy asked me to shake it LOL. Multiple dudes saying I should do porn and couldn’t believe I was a virgin. LOL. So, I ended up being known for that. Even in Iraq, the Marines saying “oh Reed’s here, we gotta go now before he makes us look bad”. Folks I haven’t met knew about my dick. So folks were talking but I kept it quiet and didn’t try anything.
5. Many people were introduced to you from your provocative photos and videos on various Blogs, Twitter and Facebook. Have you always been such an exhibitionist?
I have always been an exhibitionist but in private around certain people. I wasn’t open about it until I got comfortable being open in public because I didn’t want any problems or attention on me or to make others around me uncomfortable. So the desire was there but wasn’t trying to make myself a pariah.
6. Did you always have a desire to do porn? If so, do you believe your blog, twitter, etc. was the launching pad for you to get your start in the porn business?
No it wasn’t something I thought of as a career. I just wanted to do it for the enjoyment of making a video and if i’m doing it for free for fun, why not get paid for it? The pictures were the start to adult modeling not full on porn. I was first adding self-photos on Flickr and a photographer named Malik Williams introduced me to ModelMayhem, which is where I met the photographers i worked with such as Andrew Adam Caldwell, a local photographer in Seattle who does the majority of my shoots and other shoots with models/porn stars such as Kory Kong and Buster Sly. Through ModelMayhem, I ended up networking with other models and eventually it crossing over to Facebook and Twitter.
7. Your introduction to porn was with BlackBreeders.com and you were partnered with legendary top “Champ Robinson”. How was your experience working with him? BlackBreeders.com?
Working with Champ Robinson was wonderful. He was my co-star in my first scene and he made things go smoothly and made me feel comfortable and the shoot enjoyable. As far as Blackbreeders? I’m thankful for the opportunity but its not the place for me. I enjoyed meeting all the models and would enjoy working with them again elsewhere.
8. Your porn name “Seraph” is very unique. How did you come up with that name?
I got the name from a Final Fantasy 7 character whose name, Sephiroth (one winged angel), was inspired by the word Seraph which is a 6 winged angel. I just like the story behind Seraphim and what they represent in the very little info that there is on them and it was a different sounding name.
9. With you becoming more known in gay porn via your blogs and now the scene from BlackBreeders.com, I’m curious to know if any of your family knows about the video and all the photos? LOL If so, what are their thoughts?
OMG LOL… I don’t know about the videos but they know about the photos. My brother found out and joked about it but its not something that we talk about. I don’t talk about it and they haven’t asked so I can’t say how they feel exactly.
10. If given the opportunity, would you be open to work with other “Urban” (i.e. RawStrokes, Machofucker, etc.) or “mainstream” (i.e. Lucas Entertainment, Raging Stallion/Falcon, etc.) companies?
I’m open to other “Urban” companies and possibly “mainstream” if there’s a good vibe with the company, models and their videos.
11. We have talked about the upcoming launch of my company, MEN Entertainment, which will put a positive, mature and fresh face of Men of Color in porn! The purpose is to combat the lingering negative stereotypes (i.e. thug) of Men of Color perpetuated by both whites and black/latinos porn companies. What is your take on this?
I agree with you. It be great to show the diversity within gay men of color that paints a more honest picture of us. The racial vibe in both “Urban” and “mainstream” porn is apparent, which is one of the reasons i was hesitant in doing porn cuz i dont know how to act like a thug and some of the white porn is degrading.
12. From your experiences in the industry thus far, what are some things you would like to see change within the porn industry?
The same thing we need everywhere else. Better pay. Better model treatment. Ive only stuck my toe in so i cant say much from my experience and i cant just go off of one bad experience with one company.
13. Your introduction into porn is with a company that specializes in bareback/raw! Was this by choice and would be open to do safe scenes if the opportunity presented itself?
Yes I chose to do bareback and Im open to “safe scenes” as well.
14. In my prior interviews, I’ve asked about the ongoing debate whether or not people performing Bareback/Raw porn encourage viewers to perform “unsafe” sexual practices. Many critics believe it has lead to the rise in HIV infections in the gay/bi community, particularly with young Black/Latino males. What is your take on their opinions?
There’s always gonna be people who want to copy so I’m sure it has influenced a lot but I don’t think it encourages bareback as in telling folks its ok to do. its entertainment and you gotta be responsible for your own sexual practices and know the risks.
15. We all have a type of guy that turns us on sexually. For you to give the best in a video, and in general, what type of guy(s) are you sexually attracted to?
I really like men with dark features and a quiet confidence and someone who can smile. I love hairy dudes if the hair’s right lol. I’m turned on more by attitude than just looks.
16. Which porn stars would you love the opportunity to work with in future videos?
I would love to possibly work with Jordan Stone, Woo, Marc Dupree, Ty Lattimore, Buster Sly and many more. 🙂
17. What I, along with your fans, find sexy about you is that you exhibit a natural masculinity and you’re very passionate with your sex! However, we have only seen you bottom (so far). Are you willing to be versatile or top on film? In your private life, are you versatile or lean more towards to top or bottom?
I’d very much like to be versatile or top on film so that I’d have something besides the one homemade vid of me lol. I’m fully versatile in my private life.
18. In your first video, you did a 1-1 scene. Would you be open to do 3some/Group sex on film? How about in your private life?
Yup!!! The interracial scenes i did with blackbreeders were a 5some and a 3some. I enjoy group activities but not with selfish people in it. My best 3ways I have had were with couples.
19. Do you prefer to fuck a guy with a smooth or hairy ass? When being fucked, do you prefer a guy’s dick to be long or thick or both?
I love hairy ass! Smooth is good too. I just like the natural hair and smell. As for dick, I like both long and thick dick…deep in my second hole lol. 🙂 To me it feels better with more girth.
20. Fetish films (i.e. Leather, Spanking, Piss, etc.) are becoming very popular. Yet you haven’t done any on film. Are you willing to do any on film? If so, what fetishes would you want to explore on film and in your private life?
I love natural man scents. Love the smell of musty balls. Also love hairy men. I’m also into fisting and watersports!
21. I’m sure some of your fans would love to know your relationship status. Is Seraph single and looking? Or is he “Boo’d” up? LOL!
I’m currently single and not looking at the moment, let me find some friends first and then progress from there.
22. Porn careers are usually short lived. How long do you see yourself being in the adult industry? What are your plans upon retiring from the porn industry?
I have no clue. As long as its fun and I’m enjoying whats being made, I’ll keep doing it, even if that means making my own videos!
23. During your spare time, what are some of your hobbies/interests?
I do enjoy music and dance in my free time. I sing, do martial arts choreography lol…play xbox 360 games (Gamertag: Dr R0b0tNick spelled with zeroes) and just like to kick back with friends and family and relax and smoke a few bowls.
24. What is something your fans might be shocked to know about you!
Damn I don’t know whats left to share that could shock folks. i like to eat Balut (duck egg) lol
25. If there is anything you could change about yourself, what would it be and why?
Being naive and too trusting. i like to see the good in people even though its at my own expense sometimes.
26. Just recently the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the lower courts decision on Same Sex Marriage in California. It’s now legal in 13 states, including your home state of Washington, and DC. What are your views on Same Sex Marriage? Do you see yourself getting married in the future?
I believe its everyones right to get married and someday I hope to get married but probably with a prenup.
27. Here are Daddy Rod’s list of “Quickee” questions I ask each interviewee.
- Name 5 of your favorite music artists/or actors – I really enjoy Sade, Michael Jackson, Pharell williams, Daft Punk, and Nobuo Uematsu
- What’s your favorite color? – Black
- What’s your favorite movie? Star wars episode 4-6 the originals
- What’s your favorite song? Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us”
- What’s your favorite curse word? I like the word fuck in the positive context lol
- Boxers or Briefs or No Underwear? I switch up from time to time so I’m either freeballing or wearing a thong, jock, or briefs
- What’s your favorite lube? I stick with Wet but i haven’t tried many other lubes
- If you could meet any celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be and why? If I had the chance to meet any Celeb, I would want to meet Andre Benjamin and make some music with him! I just enjoy his craft and style.
- If you can be anywhere (i.e. islands, city, etc), where would it be and why? I would want to be somewhere with tropical weather like Maui. It’s always warm and I don’t have to where much clothes.
28. Is there anything you would like to say to your fans? Do you have a website, blog or Twitter where your fans can reach you?
Thank you to all those that support me and i hope to be able to put out more of my work for ya’ll. you can find me on:

“Pillow Talk” with Smoke
This edition of “Pillow Talk” I had the pleasure to talk with a friend of mine and very popular urban porn star that burst out into the scene back in 2011 with Black Rayne’s “Breed It Raw” videos. From his initial scene, he was an instant hit with fans. His sexy looks, great body and juicy ass along with his healthy sexual appetite has made him a sought after porn star with other companies. I had an opportunity to talk with Smoke recently about his upbringing in the Seattle area, his love of family, Aaliyah and so much more in this in -depth interview. I hope you enjoy!!!
1. Tell us a little about yourself (age, what your childhood was like, etc.)
I’m 26. I come from a very big family with lots aunts and uncles so I have a lot of cousins. LOL. My childhood was pretty good despite early on I had experienced domestic violence with my parents and I didn’t like that. But once they divorced when I was 12, things got better. I don’t really have a relationship with my father though. He doesn’t even recognize me. Kind of sad but life moves on!
2. Many might not know you’re from the Seattle area. Lots of us don’t think there too many of “us” in the Northwest Region of the Country LOL. What is the gay scene like in the Seattle area? Especially for Men of Color?
The gay scene is the same like any other major city. Lots of clubs, guys drinking, smoking and fucking, etc. LOL Many black men don’t date other black men, which is somewhat common on the West Coast. I’m not against interracial dating but just hate to see self -hating black men. And the black men who date each other in this area have dated people that I know, etc. Its like Six Degrees of Separation LOL.
3. I’m assuming your porn name isn’t your birth name. J How did you come up with your porn name “Smoke”?
I got my name basically from the fact I like to smoke some weed. LOL. Simple as that. LOL And it’s great that in Washington State you can smoke a small amount “legally” 🙂
4. You’re relatively a newbie to the gay porn business. Your introduction into porn started with Black Rayne/Breed It Raw about 2 years ago. How has your experiences been in the porn business so far? (The good & The bad)
It’s been really weird. Initially, when I started, I got a lot of accolades from customers and industry people. But what I didn’t like was people trying to create all this drama to work with them (i.e. sleep with them, drama, etc.) and I wasn’t trying to do that. I just wanted to do my job and bounce!
5. How did you get involved in the porn business? Were you “spotted” and encouraged to do it by friends or you just knew you were a sexy exhibitionist and wanted the world to know what you can do in the bedroom!!! LOL
Ever since I was a kid I was very sexual. When I was 19, I applied to work for CocoDorm but I chickened out at the last minute. A few years later once I moved to San Antonio, I connected with Breed It Raw again and we took things from there!
6. Since your introduction into porn, all of your scenes have been bareback/raw Is this by choice? Would you be open to do condom scenes if the opportunity presented itself?
It was by choice mainly because that was the 1st company I decided to work for and they do only raw porn. I am open to condom scenes. But I have to be honest and say I prefer it raw. It just feels better.
7. In my prior interviews, I’ve asked about the ongoing debate whether or not people performing Bareback/Raw porn encourage viewers to perform “unsafe” sexual practices. Many critics believe it has lead to the rise in HIV infections in the gay/bi community, particularly with young Black/Latino males. What is your take on their analysis?
Personally, we are all adults and we make our own decisions on if we will use condoms are not. You can’t blame the porn industry for actions of individual choices. I’m sure most of it like it raw but we, as individuals, make the decision whether or not to use a condom.
8. So far, you’ve mainly worked with mainly what some would call “Urban” studios. If given the opportunity, would you be open to work with other mainstream companies (i.e. Lucas Entertainment, Raging Stallion/Falcon, etc.)?
Yeah man. If they reach out to me, I would be more than interested in working with them
9. When we first meet a couple of years ago, I mentioned that I am working hard to launch my own production company, MEN Entertainment, which will put a positive, mature and fresh face of Men of Color in porn! Much of the porn featuring black and latino models are mainly based on negative stereotypes perpetuated by both whites and within the black/latino community. I would like to know your take on this!
What I would like for your company to do is expand the visuals of Men of Color in porn. How many times can we fuck in the same hotel or apartment? LOL. Do something where we are at work or out and about and have spontaneous sexual experience. Also, tap into the fetish market as well. I know we have talked about how you will do that and I can’t wait to work for your company.
10. You’ve become a well-known performer from your photos and videos on various Blogs, Twitter and Facebook, to your work with Breed It Raw. Your handsome clean-cut appearance, nice body and juicy ass are huge turn-ons for many of your fans! With that comes some negativity from some people who have a negative viewpoint on porn stars (even though they are secretly watching you…LOL) How do you handle the criticism?
At first it used to get to me. I was wonder why so many people could be so mean and all. But at the same time, I got so many comments and messages from people who said they liked my work and that outnumbered the haters. So I just didn’t really focus on it. Actually the negative comments, etc. made me a stronger person and made me work harder to make sure my scenes were hot!
11. Does your family know you are in the adult film business? If so, what are their thoughts?
Some of my family knows but not all. LOL. Some of my younger cousins do but they haven’t told the others (I don’t think). And at this point I really don’t care!
12. We all have a type of guy that turns us on sexually. What kind of men are you sexually attracted to that’ll ensure your best performance on film?
For filming, I don’t really have a type per se since I see it as work.
13. You have worked with some sexy men during your porn career. Two scenes that stand out are with co-stars Antonio Biaggi and the 3some scene with Romance and Knight with Breed it Raw! Which porn stars have you really enjoyed working with?
I enjoyed working with Big Redd, Jermany, Romance; Knight, Slim Thug and Antonio Biaggi
14. For future films, which porn stars would you like to do a scene with?
I would love to work with Addiction, Venom, Dream and Race Cooper!
15. What I, along with other men, find sexy about you is that you exhibit a natural masculinity. I think you have become so popular, and will have staying power, because not only are you attractive but you are very passionate with your sex as well. However, we have only seen you bottom. Are you willing to be versatile on film? In your private life, are you a strict bottom or versatile?
Oh Definitely. My first scene with Breed it Raw was with Jermany and I was supposed to top him but I got stage fright I guess. LOL. I couldn’t get hard so he ended up fucking me. But I’m definitely down to do versatile scenes and would prefer it in future work.
16. You have done 1 on 1’s and 3somes scenes on film. Do you prefer one on one or 3somes/group sex? How about in your private life?
I prefer both actually while doing it for work. I’m not really into 3somes in my private life. I’m not really into the open relationship type of thing. I could be with the right guy but as for right now, in a relationship I’m truly 1 on 1.
17. What’s your favorite position to be fucked?
Lately I prefer to ride dick but overall I LOVE to be fucked doggy style!
18. Fetish films (i.e. Leather, Spanking, Piss, etc.) are becoming very popular. Yet you haven’t done any on film. Are you willing to do any on film? If so, what fetishes would you want to explore on film and in your private life?
Yes definitely. I am into Assplay. Dom/Sub Roleplay. Watersports. Some Bondage. I think there should be no boundaries in the bedroom. And I’m willing to try new things and if I like it, then I’ll do it again. And I can see myself doing all those on films!
19. Now that you have been in the adult business for some time, do you have any regrets? If you could start all over, would you go into this business?
I honestly don’t have any regrets. I chose to work in this industry because at the time I entered it with expectations that I thought were important for me at that time. But now that I’ve experienced it, I realized those things weren’t as important as I thought and my views of porn have somewhat changed.
20. The life span of many guy’s porn careers are 1-3 years. But I have a feeling we will see you go on for a few more years. You just seem like a natural exhibitionist. How long do you see yourself being in the business? What are your plans upon retiring from the industry?
Again I do love sex and the whole exhibitionism type of thing. I can see myself doing more erotic modeling and dancing. I don’t see myself doing much porn too much longer!
21. I’m sure many of your admirers would love to get with you. So you know I’m going to ask…Are you single at the moment? J (If you’re single, what type of guy do you want to be with?)
Yes I am single at the moment! J
22. If you are in a relationship, has your work in the adult industry been a problem when you initially started dating? (Answer if you are currently in relationship)
In past relationships, it has caused some problems. For instance, when I was active in the industry some of my partners thought since I was having sex with various people, they felt they could as well! And that’s not the same thing. I was doing it for work and they were just doing it ..just because! So that caused some issues!
23. What is something your fans might be shocked to know about you!
I’m incredibly shy. When I’m out, some people say I look I’m disinterested or mad when I don’t speak but its not that. I’m just a shy person. LOL
24. If there is anything you could change about yourself, what would it be & why?
I don’t really care for my hairy body. I know most people think I’m smooth but that’s because I shave it off. But I’m naturally hairy and don’t really care for it!
25. What hobbies do you enjoy? What do you like to do in your spare time?
Spending time with my family. I love those times with family. I love running. I’m also into writing poetry and slowly getting into writing music. Watch movies and cook! Go to museums and plays!
26. Just recently the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the lower courts decision on Same Sex Marriage in California. It’s now legal in 13 states and DC. What are your views on Same Sex Marriage? Do you see yourself getting married?
I think same sex marriage is a great thing. I’m glad more states are recognizing it. Yes I do want to get married and have two kids. That’s it. LOL

“Pillow Talk” with Daemon Sadi
Daemon Sadi might be a new face to some of you who love porn but he has actually been doing it awhile. Having working with several porn companies the last few years, he has been more active over the last year or so with Breed Me Raw/Raw Joxxx. I’ve known him for awhile from our involvement in the Leather/BDSM Community and I knew how freaky he was. LOL. So his transition to doing porn was pretty much a given. I had the opportunity to have a good interview with him talking about a range of topics and also seeing who Daemon Sadi is behind the screen. I do hope you enjoy the interview!!!
- Tell us about yourself. Where are you from? How old are you? What was your childhood like? Etc.
- I’m originally from Wilmington, NC where I was born and raised. I went to college for two years, then joined the USMC but only stayed in for two years and six months because I decided to come out of the closet (back then Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell was still in effect). After I left the military I stayed in NC for a year then moved to NYC in 2004 where I lived for seven years. In 2010, I meet a great guy; we dated for a year before I moved to FL to live with him which is where I’m at now.
- Your porn name is very unique. How did you get your porn name “Daemon Sadi”?
- Thank you, I got my porn name from one of my favorite books in the world written by Anne Bishop. The title of the book series is called the “Black Jewels Trilogy”. One of the main characters is this guy named Daemon Sadi and he’s supposed to be this tall, dark, sexy, seductive, mysterious character with these dark powers. I dreamed that I was like him so when I started to do porn, I figured that he would be my perfect alter ego.
- You’re relatively a newbie to the gay porn business. I believe you started out with Forbidden Funk/Black Breeders. From there, you have worked with Thug Mania, ThreshHold Media and now recently with Raw Joxxx/Breed Me Raw. How has your experiences been in the porn business so far? Anything you were surprised to see? (The good? The bad? The ugly?)
- You’re right that I’m very new to the porn industry. I got involved mainly because I wanted to have fun, and to leave somewhat of a legacy behind once I’m dead and gone. Well, since I don’t plan to be in politics or become a real actor/movie star, doing porn was my next choice. Besides, I love having sex so why not do it on camera. As far as my experiences thus far in the business, I would say that I’ve had a good run so far. I’ve worked with good guys who I was sexually attracted to and was able to develop some type of chemistry with while filming. Also, I’ve worked with good producers that paid well for the films. I’ve realized that not everyone pays the same, but it all depends on how big the company is. However, I really not doing this to become rich and famous, just doing it to have fun and enjoy myself with some other hot, sexy guys.
- With you becoming more known in gay porn, I’m curious to know if any of your family knows you are in the porn business. If so, what are their thoughts?
- Some people can have a one-dimensional view of men who do porn. What would you say are some of the misconceptions people have about you?
- Not sure what misconceptions that people would have about me. However, if people wanted me to tell them the kind of guy that I am is that I’m a melting pot of personalities all mixed into one. I’m out going, fun, crazy, weird, silly, and extroverted. It all depends on who I’m with and where I’m at.
- If given the opportunity, would you be open to work with other mainstream companies (i.e. Lucas Entertainment, Raging Stallion/Falcon, etc.)?
- Yes, I’d love to work with other mainstream companies if given the chance. I don’t think that I will do because this is mainly just something I do for fun and not trying to make a career out of it like some other hard core porn stars.
- We have talked in the past about me launching a company, MEN Entertainment, which will put a positive, mature and fresh face of Men of Color in porn! The purpose is to combat the lingering negative stereotypes (i.e. thug) of Men of Color perpetuated by both whites and black/latinos porn companies. What is your take on this?
- From your experiences in the industry thus far, what are some things you would like to see change within the porn industry?
- Well I’d like to see more men of color being filmed in more mainstream porn companies.
- Since your introduction into porn, all but one of your scenes has been bareback/raw! Is this by choice or would be open to do safe scenes if the opportunity presented itself?
- To be honest, I really prefer raw sex especially since I’m HIV +, but I’m not against playing safe. I just prefer to be up front and honest about my status and let who ever I’m playing with decided for them-selves if we play safe or raw.
- There is an on-going big debate on whether or not people viewing Bareback/Raw porn promotes “unsafe” sexual practices. Some conclude that viewers watching this type of porn have caused the rise in HIV infections in the gay/bisexual community especially within the Black/Latino community. What are your thoughts on this?
- Look, we’re all adults here and we can make decisions for ourselves when it comes to health and how we choose to live our lives. Just because we watch people have “unsafe” sex doesn’t mean we will go out there and do it ourselves. In this day and age, we all know the health risks involved in playing unsafe. If we play unsafe then that’s a decision that we make for ourselves and we live with the consequences of that decision. It’s not because we watched some hot guys fuck that way.
- During your porn career, you have worked with some sexy men. Which porn stars have you really enjoy working with thus far?
- Lex Antoine, Santiago Rodriguez, Tyler Reed
- I think if we are honest with ourselves, we all have a type of guy that turns us on sexually. For you to give the best in a video, and in general, what type of guy(s) are you sexually attracted to?
- Guys who are shape, have a great personality (someone I can feel comfortable with offset), likes to kiss, and enjoys sex as much as I do. It also helps when the person is able to just go with the flow and not try to force the sex.
- Which porn stars would you love the opportunity to work with?
- Angel Rock, Jimmy Durano, Marc Dylan, Topher DiMaggio, Race Cooper, Austin Wilde, Sean Zevran, Chris Gabriel, Juan Steel, Lawson Kane, Marcus Ruhl, and Vito Gallo (I think I can go on for days) LOL! LOL!
- What I find sexy about you is that not only do you exude a natural masculinity, but you also showcase great versatility in your scenes. When not on film, are you equally versatile, or lean more towards the top or bottom?
- With your film work, you have done only 1-1 scenes. Would you be open to do 3some/Group sex on film? How about in your private life, do you prefer 1-1? 3somes/Groups?
- I’m open to 3somes, and group sex both off and on film.
- Do you prefer to fuck a guy with a smooth or hairy ass? When being fucked, do you prefer a guy’s dick to be long or thick or both?
- If I’m going to eat a guy’s ass out, I’d prefer it to be smooth, however if I’m just fucking it, then it doesn’t matter either way. As far as a guy’s dick I’d prefer one that is a little of both considering I have a big ass and you got to have enough meat to get pass my cheeks.
- Many of your fans might not know you’re involved in the Leather community. And also a former Leather titleholder (i.e. Leather Man of Color 2010). How were you introduced into the community? What interests you about the culture? What fetishes are you into?
- I had sex with a guy who wanted to tie me up and that after that encounter I realized how much I loved bondage. I decided that I wanted to learn more about the leather/fetish scene so I joined ONYX NY to discover what else I liked. I soon discovered that I wanted to be a boy and had the desire to server someone, but that hasn’t worked out for me as of yet. Anyway, I also learned that I loved to be spanked, wearing leather, military uniforms, sports gear, and just having a good time.
- So far in your porn career, you have done some film work involving fetish play (mainly dildo play) with BlackBreeders.com and Threshold Media. What other fetishes would you be open to do on film?
- BONDAGE & SPANKING!!!!
- I’m sure some of my readers would love to know your relationship status. Is Daemon single and looking? Or is he “Boo’d” up? LOL!
- I’m taken but in an open relationship
- If you are in a relationship, has your work in the adult industry been a problem when you initially started dating? (answer only if you are currently in relationship)
- Well it really wasn’t a problem when we first started dating because I really wasn’t doing any filming. I know my partner isn’t total happy with it all but he loves me and he knows that I love him more than life itself.
- Porn careers are usually short lived. How long do you see yourself being in the adult industry? What are your plans upon retiring from the industry?
- During your spare time, what are some of Daemon hobbies/interests?
- I’m a total nerd and book worm. I love playing video games (I have two PS3s, an Xbox, and WiiU & and I can’t wait till the PS 4 comes out later this year). I also have tons of books that I love to read. Mainly like reading fantasy novels or gay paranormal romance books on my kindle. I’m also going to school for Information Technology so I’m studying as well.
- What is something your fans might be shocked to know about you!
- I’m a dancing fool and I can’t sing to save my life.
- If there is anything you could change about yourself, what would it be and why?
- There’s nothing I would change. It’s taken me a long time to love myself for whom & what I am (which includes the good & the bad). So in the famous words of RuPaul: “If you can’t love yourself, then how can you love someone else.”
- Just recently the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the lower courts decision on Same Sex Marriage in California. It’s now legal in 13 states and DC. What are your views on Same Sex Marriage? Do you see yourself marrying your boyfriend?
- Love is love & we should all have the right to marry who we love. Yes one day I see myself getting married to my boyfriend.
- Here are Daddy Rod’s list of “Quickee” questions I ask each interviewee.

Thanks so much for taking time out to talk with me. Peace and Blessings to you!!!

- In my previous interviews I’ve talked about the latest debate from health professionals whether or not people performing Bareback/Raw porn encourage viewers to perform “unsafe” sexual practices. Many critics believe it has lead to the rise in HIV infections, particularly with young Black/Latino males. What is your take on their analysis?

Your sexy swagger, nice body and long thick uncut dick and juicy ass are huge turn-ons for many of your fans!

- Throughout your filmography, you’ve showcased lots of versatility. You’re your private life, do you lean one way or another or truly versatile?

- What’s your favorite position to fuck? Or fucked?
- Do you prefer a thick dick or a long dick? Or both?
- Do you prefer a smooth or hairy ass?
- In a few of your films I see you ventured out into some fetish play. Some piss play. Leather play, etc. What fetishes do you get into?
- Does your family know you are in the adult film business? If so, what are their thoughts?
- Now that you have been in the adult business, as a dancer and porn star, for some time, do you have any regrets? If you could start all over, would you go into this business?
- In the next 5 – 10 years, do you still plan to be in the adult biz or retired from all of it? If not, what are your plans after retiring from the adult biz?

Keith Hayes aka Nat Turnher
Joe Simmons
He is probably the most well known African American gay porn star ever. Known for his great looks and body, he is also well known for his versatility in porn. He did it all on film with no shame and with sexual abandon. Like most porn stars from that area, he passed away in 1995 from AIDS related complications. Boy do I wish we had more like him in the game now!
Top Men of Color Porn Stars – 2012
Hello everyone. I wanted to end out the year with who I think were the top porn stars in the business this year. These men were featured in many videos from various companies/studios. I will only feature Men of Color since so many other blogs, industry mags, etc. seem to exclude Men of Color.
So here is my list (in no particular order)!!!
Antonio Biaggi
Lito Cruz
Pillow Talk with Raw Daddy – Kevyn "Venom" Mines
Hello everyone!!! Pillow Talk is back and I had the pleasure to interview one of my all time favorite porn stars, Kevyn “Venom” Mines!!! What I like about him is that there is more to “Venom” than what we see in porn. He actually has a lot going on outside of the porn world. So as he is about to retire from porn (SAD FACE) LOL…you will read he is still very busy entertaining us with his latest projects. He was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to be interviewed for my blog. So I’m very grateful for that. Enjoy our interview!
Tell us about yourself (age, where you from, etc.)
I am now 28 years old. I am originally from Philadelphia, PA, now residing in Atlanta, GA.
Curious minds want to know – how did you come up with the porn name “Venom”? LOL
I am a super duper Spiderman fan. When I first entered into the business, I didn’t have a “stagename” My friend decided he’d call me Venom. So it’s from the comic books.
How did you get into the adult industry? Was being in porn a “dream” job of yours or something that just kind of happened?
The same friend who gave me my name introduced me to “Peanut Untouchable” who shot my very first scene and introduced me to Marvin Jones of Blatino Connections. I never dreamed about being in porn. Never even imagined it. When I was growing up I knew I was going to be a pastor.
I know you’re from the Philly area, what is up with Philly? LOL Lately, there have been some hot porn stars coming from that city (i.e. Remy Mars, Shorty J, Woo, and more).
Philly is just full of FREAKS, lol! No, there are a lot of people all over who are doing porn. A lot of guys come from metropolises like NYC, ATL, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, DC. Philly just happens to fall in line with other hot spots.
You’ve been in the industry several years now. Did you think you would have been in the adult industry this long?
No I didn’t. I thought it would be a one time thing. Didn’t plan to make it a career path. I guess I got caught up in the hype of it all. I would travel back and forth to NY from Philly and I’d get bookings at clubs and people really liked me. It kind of stuck.
Does your family know you are in the adult film business? If so, what are their thoughts?
Yes my family knows at this point. I tried to keep it a secret for a while. That was around the time I was growing into myself. But eventually I ended up tell my mom first, then from there I made it public knowledge. My mom says she doesn’t agree with it, but she fully aware of who Venom is.
When we met, I mentioned to you that I am launching my own production company, MEN Entertainment, which will put a positive, mature and fresh face of Men of Color in porn! The purpose is to combat the lingering negative stereotypes perpetuated by both whites and black/latinos porn companies. What is your take on this?
Being in the industry as long as you have, what are some things that you were surprised to see? (i.e. drug usage, unprofessionalism, etc.)
Can’t honestly say that anything surprises me on the industry side. I have seen a little bit of everything from producers paying models with coke to models not getting paid at all. Ridiculous twitter wars between porn stars, fights and all. But what surprises me even more are the fans. They will love and adore you and some will tear you into shreds the moment you don’t follow them on twitter, lol.
What was your first day on the set of porn movie like?
It was a little weird because my scene partner was someone I had been sleeping with for a while and he took me to his boyfriend to shoot our scene together and his boyfriend was perfectly fine with it. I was a bit confused and nervous, until the boyfriend started flirting with me too.
What changes would you like to see in the porn industry?
You’ve worked mainly with Urban studios (i.e. Dawgpound/PapiThugz, Blatino Connection, etc.). How was it working for them?
Blatino Connection/Chocolate Cream gave me my star, so Marvin Jones is like family to me. In fact his former Vice President the late Larry Williams is my gay father. So whenever I was on the set there, I was at home. Each studio offers a different experience. I have built great relationships with them and for the most part they have all been there with me through each experience. So unlike other performers I nothing but good to say about these studios.
Have any of the major studios (i.e. Raging Stallion, Lucas Entertainment, etc.) approached you to work with them? If not, if they were to extend an offer, would you work with them?
No, none of the west coast/non-urban studios have ever reached out to me. I wonder what that’s all about! Hmph! If maybe 2-3 years ago they reached out to me I’d more than happy to work with them. Today, ehh, maybe. I ‘m not doing much work these days.
Bareback porn is making a huge comeback in porn! You could pretty much say its almost becoming the norm again. Throughout your career, you have strictly done Safe Sex movies. I’m sure you have been approached to do Raw/Bareback scenes. Is there a reason why you haven’t done any Bareback porn? And would you consider doing it?
Continuing on with Bareback porn and HIV, there is a big debate whether or not people seeing Bareback/Raw porn will promote “unsafe” sexual practices, hence the rise in HIV infections particularly in the gay/bi sexuality community especially within the Black/Latino community. What are your thoughts on this?
I think I’d have to agree. People like the fantasy, some people (most people) take as far as repeating what they see. Hence, we have thousands of guy posting bareback videos on xtube sometimes with people they barely know. I would like for everyone reading to ask themselves – Do you think that it promotes unsafe sex and perpetuates the epidemic of HIV and the host of other Sexually Transmitted Infections???
During your porn career, you have worked with some sexy men. Which porn stars did really enjoy working with?
When you agree to do a film, do you have a say so in whom you work with?
Yes. People may feel that they don’t, but we always have a say. If you are being paired with someone you don’t want to work with you can easily say NO.
To give an optimal performance, what is required of the guy you have a scene with? (i.e. body type, etc.)
Sadly, I’m not picky with that. I trust the producers judgment for the most part. That scene will reflect on me, my partner and that studio so if they pick some one shitty, that would be good for them, and sometimes we have had some not so fortunate faces, but they either made it up in their performance or body. My pet peeve is don’t talk to me too much before the scene cause if you sound stupid you will turn me all the way OFF!
What porn stars would you like to work with that you haven’t so far?
I’ve accomplished all of that. I’d much rather work with a few again. I wouldn’t mind a 3some with Hot Rod & Maseo. Maybe Cuban Michaels, Remy and myself.
Throughout your career, you have showcased great versatility. I think you are so popular and have staying power is not only are you attractive with a big dick and nice ass but you aren’t afraid to explore sex as a top and bottom. When not on film, are you a more top or truly versatile or more bottom?
I prefer both short and simply.
Do you prefer to fuck a smooth or hairy ass? When being fucked, do you prefer the dick to be long or thick or both?
Amazingly throughout your porn career, we haven’t seen you do any type of fetish films. Are you willing to do any on film? What fetishes would you be interested in doing?
I am so bored with porn all together I’m not sure I’ll get into it. If I were to do fetish porn maybe bondage, leather, things like that.
How and when did you lose your virginity?
I lost my virginity when I was a young teenager to a girl who lived in the apartment building I did.
For those who don’t know, you’re currently in relationship. Was your work in the adult industry a problem when you two initially started dating? Was it a problem for prior relationships?
It’s always an issue, always have been. Both for the good and bad. We entered into this relationship with open and honest communication. He knew what he was getting himself into and he got to know the person beyond the porn star. Strangers and fans make an issue out of it, not us.
Many people can have a one-dimensional view of porn stars. What would you say are some misperceptions people have about you?
People constantly approach me for sex and think that everything I do must be sexually oriented. In fact I get quite fed up with sex often. I can hold an intelligent conversation and I aspire to and will do so much more than be a porn star despite the negative undertone associated with it.
All good things must come to an end and we all know you won’t be in porn your whole life. How much longer do you see yourself being in the adult industry?
A truth is it is hard for someone who has made a living of it to leave completely alone. Once I announced a retirement, and I came back. I then got into a relationship so I quietly just stopped doing it. The relationship didn’t work so I came back. At this point I am truly getting bored and it’s getting old and so am I. So I would say that my stint in porn is quickly coming to an end.
What are your plans once you retire from the porn business?
What hobbies do you enjoy? What do you like to do in your spare time?
Weird enough, I really enjoy coloring in a coloring book. I don’t much time to because I am always shooting something or editing something. But when I get down time I’m spending those moments with my baby, out at gathers or… COLORING.
What is something your fans might be shocked to know about you!
Up until very recently, I didn’t like to watch porn… AT ALL, especially if I was in it.
I’m sure you are aware that the US is in the midst of a very “Intense” election season. Do you follow politics? If so, how do you think President Obama is doing? Do you think he will be re-elected?
I do follow politics a little. I believe President Obama is doing an AMAZING job. A few things (very few) he can do better, but I’ve considered that he has his work cut out for him to try to reconstruct a country in fours that someone f*cked up in eight and try to get another four years to finish reconstructing. I believe he has a great chance of being re-elected, if everyone gets up and votes.
