|---|---|
| How was Faye Reagan? | Was.. (key word, was...) the best sex I've ever had, still to this day... ever. Now, you may ask, 'why was?'... she's been dealing with major substance abuse issues for years, and for half the relationship, she hid from me. It spiraled out of control and that, along with a few other things, led to the relationship's dimise. I really hope she can get her life back in order, cause I still love her tremendously. And, I don't wish to go into much further details about her on-going issues out of respect. :) |
| How do you feel about a lot of porn becoming increasingly violent towards the girls who "star" in them? Not just rough stuff, but scenes that are intentionally fucked up. I'm talking about stuff like Max Hardcore or Facial Abuse and websites like that which seem to be becoming mainstream. These vids are not so much people enjoying fucking as much as blatant depictions of sexual assault. How do you feel about this? | Well, I think the argument can be made to say that, since porn is fantasy... it's not "real". The girls who are in such seemingly "violent" or aggressive films are there of their own free will and are actually into that style of sexual acts. Porn, videogames and mainstream movies are used for escapism and while we, as a society, accept such violence in games and movies... and, such implied, extreme sexual acts like rape, incest or pedofilia in mainstream movies, I think it's only fair to say that, yes, while porn is becoming more "hardcore" it's what we as a society "wants" right now, (we wouldn't make it if it wasn't selling). I do think there should be more of a disclaimer for a lot of these rough sites, like how kink.com does it with pre/post interviews of the girls explaining they love that type of work, and loved the scene and they did it completely willingly, there was a "safe word" and it was a very controlled environment. |
| There's a famous myth that a lot of porn stars were abused as kids. Is there some truth in that?! If so what do you think about that? | My father, who was a police officer for three decades, was very strick in a lot of ways. Now, he wasn't around too much for me, as my parents split around age 11, however, I do recall a decent amount of verbal abuse, not so much physical. I would tend to agree that a larger percentage of performers I have encountered had some adverse upbringing which, could have, indirectly affected their life down the line, but as to say it's primarily responsible for them being in adult work? No. |
| Hey there! What in your opinion, is the best thing about being a Porn Star? What is the worst? Congratulations, with dating and working with Faye Reagan. (I hate you!) | Best thing: constant stream of hot, young beautiful girls. Worst thing: dealing with young girls. ;) idk, there's a lot to this job that is about networking, socializing and politic'ing, which I am not the best at... This job can be lonely for a decent amount of the performers in it, I am no exception. |
| Thank you for giving a sincere thoughtful response! You seem to have more of a brain than most porn stars. | Thank you, I finally decided I should do one of these, I really should have done this about a year ago, but ya... lol. |
| Have you ever had a girl stick her finger in your butt? | Haha, yes, some girl's have surprised me with that, it's really not all too comfortable for the most part. Honestly, there have been times where it's felt alright, but I think for the most part girl's don't know what they're to be doing down there, so it hasn't really come up much and I'm not one really to ask. I do like it when they lick all around it though. That's a winner there. |
| Have you ever had sex with a celebrity, and who? Also have you ever had sex for money outside of the porn industry? | My goal is to fuck one, the likelihood of that happening, I feel, is slim. :) The most interesting were a LA police officer, a dental hygienist, a disabled youth program worker, an aerospace engenier, and what I believe was either, a summa cum laude or magna cum laude graduate of a prestigious college. And, as for sex outside of work for cash, yes, I have performed with another girl as a private show for an individual who likes to watch. |
| Disabled, youth program worker? Disabled youth, program worker? Disabled youth program, worker? | Yes, that... lol. |
| DO girls ever actually cum in pornos? If so, how can you tell, as a viewer, if they are or are just actually good at acting? | Yes, sometimes... how you can tell? Well, if you can see their toes curling, (key sign)... otherwise, all the other signs probably are fake, as I can tell when performing with girls if their toes don't curl. But, a lot of these girls are great at acting for the camera. |
| I always thought Faye came because she was with you and you guys were together, was this a safe assumption? It's just so much hotter when you are convinced the girls are actually cumming. Also, do you know of any stars that regularly cum or any male stars that usually make their partners cum? | Very much a safe assumption. Yes, Lia Lor, India Summers, are ones that pop in my head. |
| What got you into porn Industry? Are you planning to leave it any time soon? | The need to survive got me in. I had to finish a project I started in college. Link to vimeo.com (password is hostelterritory) And, yes, I would like to leave this biz sooner than later, I don't like staying in one place too long. |
| Holy shit, that's better than most of the things I see on TV today. Make that show! | I have to find a corp sponsor, network or online entity to have it as a show... this hasn't happened... :( |
| I can definitely see this show on National Geographic! Get in contact with them. You never know! | NatGEO, there's not enough outdoor adventure as it is presented... it would have to be re-worked more. |
| Best/Worst moment in the industry? | Best Moment: Realizing my job is to fuck and that millionaires have to pay out the ass for what I get for free, or paid to do. Worst Moment: Knowing that nothing is certain and staying relavant is difficult. |
| Do you get tired of sex? | Great question! Hmmm, no. It always intrigues me. I may get tired with a female partner if there's not more than one facet there to keep me attracted (I don't feel I am much to different, in that regard, than most others), but I love sex, it's such a great release for me. |
| A few questions :) How many girls have you fucked? How long do you plan on doing porn for? What are your hobbies? What is your social life like? Who is a girl in porn that you haven't fucked but would really like to if u could choose anyone? | I've not fucked enough... lol, probably around 600. I don't know how long, maybe another year or two. I enjoy doing various video projects. I have been working on a band/tour doc for my favorite band. I like magic tricks, and playing board/card games. I love to travel, if that can be a hobby too. I am not all too exciting. Girl I want to fuck, if I could... presently, it's her Link to twitter.com |
| I'm gonna be greedy and ask another question... How was doing 'Going Deep' With Kassem G? | Good, all of it is staged and the guest just plays along. |
| EDIT: Due to a lengthy, agressive twitter 'back and forth', a call from his attorney as well as multiple threats from his mother, and a mysterious letter from KassemG, that when I opened it, a white powery substance went everywhere... so, in no part to any of that happening have I been persuaded to modify the erroneous statement I made the other day about being on KassemG's show and it being staged. I'm making this correction because it's the right thing to do. It's what any good American SHOULD do. So, while I was very much aware of how the show goes and, more or less, how it's orchastrated to produce comedic gold, I stress, this was independent from KassemG and his crew. I just happened to utilize my extensive background in film & video, (this all before the adult industry, mind you) and did, in fact, coach Faye on how to respond to his questions. Now, while he, personally didn't stage anything with us, the show is 'influenced' and guests, independently have the option, (if they happen to be, 'in the know' in some regard) to play along. I am aware there's common knowledge as to what the word 'staged' means but, I was honestly hard pressed to find a direct definition with regards to what I was attempting and apparently failing to use it as originally, so anyone out there wish to try and find a correct definition for this, in the context I had used it in? Also, I'd love to be a guest again on his show, but my repeated solicitations had fallen on deaf ears, I feel. All the flowers sent, messages left on his car's window written out in dove's blood and the late night phone calls that went unanswered, so... I just left voicemails proclaiming my love for him and his god-boy-man-wolf-like body... I feel woozy now, I used some of that powdery substance from the rhfndmfnfnfnc. Ncncnnn. | |
| How does your personal sex life compare to your professional sex life? | My personal sex life has been enhanced over the years due to my work. I've learned to appreciate the finer nuances to the sexual experience with the various girls I've been with. My professional sex life is just that, it's a career and, while I do enjoy it very much, at the end of the day it's all for entertainment. As a performer you're their for the person watching it, so it's best you understand how to best "get into" and convey to your audience that you want to be there and you're enjoying it, (even if you really may be not). |
| Do the women you become romantically involved with ever get jealous of the women you work with? Do you keep your significant other updated on your work schedule or talk about work at all? | The girls recently I have seen, (one I am still currently with now for the past 6 months) are not jealous and it's really wonderful. She asks about my work and has actually watched scenes of mine, (though, she actually doesn't watch porn to masturbate). This girl is also not in the adult industry, she's just a girl in college. :) |
| When are you and Giselle Leon gunna work together? | Well, soon I hope. We did a blow job scene together once, only, I think, years back, but never fucked... We do each love the band Pinback, A LOT, so I am thinking based on that knowledge, we should have good sex. haha. |
| Here's their first scene together Link to www.pornhub.com. | I'm afraid to click this link.. lol. |
| Read every answer so far Dane, great AMA. Very interesting and you give really good answers. Here's a question, do you think that when people hear the word porn actor/actress, that they don't expect a porn actor/actress - in their eyes - to be intelligent, emotional, or has even a bit of solidarity towards others. Or in other words, the negative view towards this vocation. What's your stance on this if you look at it from a distance. (colleagues, why this view, your POV) Bonus question: what is something in the world that interests you right now? | Thank you for your kind words. I do feel there is a general stereotype that I've encountered with regards to, someone like myself. I usually hear, "I didn't think you'd be so well-spoken." or "Wow, you've done a lot of interesting stuff for being a porn star." But, to be honest there are a decent amount of people that could wander into or are in this business currently that didn't have an opportunity (or maybe the interest) in going to college or traveling around the world or having the type of social adversity and respective, inexperience I had growing up as a loaner, and teachers pet... and, always having and identifying with older people than me. It's just who I am, and I feel, that makes me not like the majority in my business, and once again, ironically, an outsider in a lot of regards. I've learned a tremendous about in this business about how to act around other people in various social and sexual settings and I have made A LOT of mistakes... and, I am still learning. It's cost me financially and on an interpersonal level, but I don't give up and I wouldn't take anything back. BONUS: You know, I really love to travel and a friend of mine, for the last couple years, really wanted to visit North Korea, (course, not now) be we honestly were going to go next summer. I find North Korea a fascinating country, and while I don't agree with their regime and their forced labor/internment camps, it's just always been a place that I know not a lot of people have visited. I've always had a love for telling the story. I went to film school and worked in news for 6 years prior to porn. I just like to get out there and discover the world first hand... come back and share my experiences. |
| Have you ever fapped to your own scene? | Haha, totally, but not to myself, but just reliving the moment. |
| Would you ever consider midget porn? | Yes, I WANT TO FUCK A HOT MIDGET... Reddit... make this happen... now. :) |
| Do you ever get upset when people type your name in to Google search and it doesn't show any suggested searches? | Yes, right now... I did.. I am angry. I need to go now. This has killed me inside, you have no idea. FUCK. |
| If only my penis were 10 inches. | |
| Hello Sir thank you for doing an AMA. I am against the act of lemon stealing and the people who do this unforgivable crime. What is your stance on the matter? | Don't ever fuck with someone's lemons. I personally have used my lemon tree to secure a loan. |
| This has easily been one of the most entertaining AMAs I have ever seen. now, an obvious question; have you had a STD, and if so, what.how many? Follow up, how often do you get tested? | Yes, in the business we are exposed to STD's at various times and I have been treated and resolved for those occurrences. It's no different than the general public who's sexually active, in that regard, as to what one may be exposed to through sexual acts... What's different is, we are tested every 14-28 days with urine and blood being taken, so as to not be preventative but limit the potential exposure risk to other performers and the public. |
| Do you find that your standard of beauty (in a woman, physically) has changed since being in the industry? Do you find it makes you more critical of normal women after being around porn stars all day? | Fucking amazing question! Yes, they've improved. I am more discerning. But, no "normal woman" appeal to me just as much as the average, good-looking porn girl, possibly even more so. :) |
| In the industry, what would you say is the smallest penis you've seen working that doesn't specifically use his small size as a marketing angle? | Oh, lol... That, would have to be a man who goes by The MINION. He's really a super nice guy, but go look him up... my god. Link to www.theminion.com |
| I love your work, especially with Faye, but I gotta ask, what is memorable, if not MOST memorable blooper you can remember happening while filming? | I was jerking off to keep as hard as possible before we were about to go back to shooting and the girl's face was right near my dick and hand that was jerking it off... I accidentally hit her in the face with said, jerking hand. |
| What advice would you give to a young male trying to become a pornstar? | Don't. The industry is ultra competitive and to make a living doing it, is no different. It's kinda funny how the country talks about, "the 1%"... well, it's kinda fucking like that in the adult industry now. Except it's not the 1% of performers who get most of the work, it's probably more like the top 10% but in an industry this small, that's not a lot. It bothers me on some level that there are good people who should be able to make a decent living in this business but can't because of silly politics and some immature people. |
| Are you a virgin? | I've never been touched... will it hurt? |
| Do you ever watch other performers for ideas on how to improve your own work? Any takeaways that you've found? | Yes, I watch others to see how they perform, but there's only so much you can take away from that. We are all individuals and should have our own relative style that's conveyed. There is a method to how a male performer should go about fucking on camera. There are however subtle nuances that must be interspersed to make a really great scene. Fucking and love making. Being there and connected with the partner, or making damn well sure that the girl (and the audience) thinks you are. |
| I see you're back, so weird question, as a guy hopes hoping to soon lose his virginity (kinda late) do you have any tips to relax into it and generally get the most out of sex? | Well, you should masturbate for extended periods of time.. like, try an hour, than two.. and do this for awhile. It will help with orgasm control and your partner will love this. :) And, really feel your partners subtle movements and if you can't at first, don't be afraid to ask for advise from her. |
| Do you think the craze for anal has gone too far? What appeal does a girl eating candy or whipped cream out of another girl's asshole have? And ass-to-mouth? Am I alone in thinking it's gross? | I am kinda there with you and there can be a lot of trouble that comes from fucking around the A too much, lol. It's a hassel personally and I avoid it as much as possible. |
| What awards have you won? | I have won 4 awards. 3 awards were given the same year by three different accrediting bodies, that was for best new male performer. The other was from a European company for best male performer. |
| Do people sometimes look down on (or up to) you because you are in porn? Do you notice people recognizing you on the street? How do you react? | Yes, mostly up to me. Some people do occasionally recognize me and it's fun to answer their questions. I am honored they have such interest in me and my field of work. |
| I've heard that male porn stars can cum on command? Is there any truth to that? | Yes, I do, but a good amount of them can not... It's one of the better vocational skills to have in this business but not so easily learned. It's ALL mental. :) |
| BRANDI BELLE? | You know, I used to like her but that site went down hill, in my personal opinion after it got sold off to a larger porn conglomerate. |
| One question: when are we going to north korea? | When you suck my dick and call me daddy! haha, John you sully my board! |
| How do you stay fit? What do you do for exercise and your diet? | That has been a challenge for me most recently. I like to bike though and I work to try and incorporate fresh juicing in my diet for a meal a day. I really do need to lose about 5-8 lbs of body fat. The newer guys are younger and in much better shape! Doesn't mean I am fat, we just have a tough scale we are graded on. :) |
| What's your secret to lasting so long? | I masturbate for hours. |
| A porn star who beseeches us to masturbate more and makes in-jokes about past AMAs? Reddit has found its God. I for one welcome our new Dane Cross overlord. | Your loyalty will be rewarded. I just ask you give me lots of attention, love and candy, (specifically Lemon Heads). |
| What (if any) sort of preparations do you do before filming? | Shower... :) I really don't do much to be honest. |
| What about Peter North? He is a porn legend and that guy was literally fucking dudes in the ass in his first movies way back in the day. I wonder if he ever had people turning him away... | He doesn't like word-one mentioned about that time in his life. He'd rather forget about it. |
| What's it like, Dane? Tell us about heaven. | It's filled with 18 year old virgins. |
| My favorite scene you're in is with Jessica Jaymes. How is she? Also, you mentioned a lot of the immaturity in the business. What are some examples of the immaturity you've had to endure? How is the money if you aren't part of the 10%, do you have to supplement income with another job? | I can't remember that scene, lol. When you have many young girls, and guys in a business such as this, stuff just happens. It's like an incestuous family or crazy community college setting at times. The money is tougher to come by but I still make my living only having sex. |
| Also, what do your parents know/think of your career? Do they ring you up like 'hey honey, loved your new video :)'? | No, but they are aware and are happy to know I enjoy what I do. |
| We just got done with a debate about pornography in a human sexuality class I'm taking. I would love your input on a few of the things we discussed! I'm pro porn, these are just some of the interesting questions that got brought up. What do you think is the difference between pornography and erotica, if any? Do you think pornography is beneficial, neutral, or harmful to the people that watch it? (taking into consideration people accessing it online at very young ages, possible sex addiction, and people getting unrealistic expectations of sex after watching some of the more extreme porn) Do you think pornography contributes to human sex trafficking by attracting attention to the sex industry? | Yes, I think erotica is more sensual and is trying to convey a certain tone; it's still pornographic. Well, there was a TED Talk I watched about the male brain and internet porn... I was really taken back by it. I think in that regard, it can be harmful to the developing male brain. Link to www.feedtherightwolf.org There are a lot of people who can find themselves easily, adversely affected by porn, myself is one of them due to the fact I like to watch it sometimes for a few hours, lol... I don't think human trafficking in the regard you think, but yes, girls are flown over state-lines to perform in front of a camera all the time, but they do it of their own free will. Albeit, they could have many other options to make a "normal" living verses porn, especially if they're not thinking of the potential consequences of their actions... CASE IN POINT Link to abcnews.go.com |
| How was Marie McCray? | She's super awesome. |
| How do you approach a girl who is not from the industry ? How is your typical first date? (If there's such a thing ;) ) | Very slowly... I don't want to scare them. I mean, I really am a normal guy outside of my job. |
| Have you had to fuck any dudes or have been fucked by dudes? | No, I should start though, with you? Let's do this. You a power bottom? |
| Probably going to regret asking this, ha, but what would you porn fans like to see in an amateur/first-timer site? I'm working on doing one with a producer friend of mine. | Amateur--- Autocorrect on iPhone, while using Siri to listen to me dictate earlier while driving. You're welcome. |
| How can you not get emotionally involved while have sex ? I mean a little part of you will miss that person .. | I just have the ability to disconnect on various levels with work. Outside of work a lot more of "me" can be invested if I am fucking someone. |
| How can I get a fatter load? | Eat a lot if protein. Drink a lot of water. |
| I have to ask. Asa Akira is my favourite porn star. What's she like as a person and as a fuck? Is she as hot in person? | She's a super swell girl. She knows what's up! |
| How do you feel about those who steal lemons? | Someone beat you too that joke, lol. |
| Hey thanks for doing this AMA. So I'm a 22 year old male and I started doing some background/extra work for Brazzers recently. After being around a lot of really hot porn stars, I'm thinking about getting into it as a performer, any advice for a potential rookie? | Be professional, don't be too cocky and be ultra-respectful to the girls. |
| Ah your back! Any tips for straight guys that want to go into the industry? I've heard that its incredibly hard for guys to enter the industry(surplus of guys) and most are asked to start in Gay scenes. Also, if you don't mind, how much are you paid on average per scene? | I answered this somewhere, how you find it here, I am not sure.. but it's there. I make between 400-600 now.. but when I started in 2006 it was 75-200.. :) |
| Do you watch porn yourself? | Yes, is that gay? lol.. not so much, but to see how I perform and look on camera. |
| What is your most memorable sex scene? | They are all kinda a blur, lol.. idk, probably the one with Chloe Dash for RK. :) Link to www.realitykings.com |
| Brb, I got to go bang a girl. I'll let you know how it goes after. | Hey almost done. She's great! |
| FYI. I just pictured you naked with your lap top out. | Do you have a fucking camera in my apartment? |
| "brb gotta go fuck a girl, I'll tell y'all how it is afterwards ;)" This man will go down in reddit history. | Using that. |
| I like to think he deliberately left it open to interpretation. | A program worker who monitored and supported disabled youth. |
| whether it be oral, vaginal, anal... ear, idk. Ear sex is usually known as "aural" sex. :-p. | Aural sex! |
| You look like that one dude from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. | Link... |
| No question. Just wanted to say thanks for doing an awesome AMA! Keep on fuckin! | Thanks man, I am very new to reddit, as you can see... So, please do whatever you do to make this more popular.. :) I'd be very much appreciative. |
| Hey danecrossx, I^think^she^wants^the^D. | Can reddit get me laid? |
| Are most male pornstars dicks naturally that big, or is there a lot of enhancement drugs going around. | Erection pills are most common... nothing really makes your dick bigger though. So, yes guys in this business were born with larger than avg dicks, for the most part. |
| I'd be interested to hear your opinion on 30-year old male virgins. | I actually have known people who were virgins and older than average. I think it's fine, just get laid, (less you have some religious beliefs standing in the way)... buy a hooker, go to a bar/club... coffee shop, :) just get it over with. Just be safe. Sex is awesome, work towards having it. |
| Dude, your death is Assassins Creed 3 sucked. | Look, I can't fucking be the best at everything... geeze. |
| Cmon, lets hear it. There has to be one girl in the industry who is just known for being a C. You don't like her, she oesnt like you, everybody already knows it, lets hear it. | AHHH... I can't be like that... :) |
