When Dewitt asked me to choose my ten favorite interviews of the year, I admit I was a little taken aback! How could I choose a favorite? I mean, if these were the kind of interviews that resembled porn auditions and I got to suck every person’s dick at the end then, yeah, I’m sure I’d have some personal favorites. (Also, I want that to be my job. I’d be so good at that job.)
But, yeah, that didn’t happen. Instead, I chose the eight porn stars—plus two other guys!—that I thought were the most interesting to talk to, who were maybe the most insightful, or funniest, or most outrageous. Actually not really, outrageous people kind of terrify me. Most of these men are kind of bookish, actually.

10. CHAD HUNTER:
Chad Hunter might be the exception to the rule. That is a young man with some opinions! And not just about mason jars, although he does have some strong opinions about mason jars.

9. ADAM RUSSO:
I have a serious permaboner for Adam Russo, which I have explained before, over and over and over. Probably you don’t care. When I talked to the classy throat-fucker this May, I basically gushed on the phone for an hour. And then I got off the phone and gushed multiple loads of jizz. True story! I am a professional.

8. BRAVO DELTA:
At this point, I don’t think there’s a single thing you don’t know about Bravo Delta, the muscly engineer who seems to spend 16-18 hours a day answering the same personal questions on Tumblr over and over and over. I don’t know how anyone can be that patient. Nevertheless, I asked him most of the same questions everyone else does, trying to avoid the more obvious ones. (“Mr. Delta, how can I get your dick in my mouth?” / “Yo, Bravo, why is your dick so far away from my mouth right now?” / “Young Man, would it be weird if I shoved my face in your armpits for a while?” / “Seriously dude: your dick my mouth. Let’s make it happen!” / etc.)

7. RACE COOPER:
Race Cooper and I talked in June about and we discussed a whole range of things: his name, why he’ll never do thug porn, why fetish shoots are more relaxed than regular porn shoots and—because he is Canadian and I am not above stereotyping—about hockey.

6. DOMINIC FORD:
Porn producer Dominic Ford doesn’t appear in front of the camera ever, but I did meet him in person once a long time ago, and though my memory is hazy, I think he was actually super hot? Let’s say he was. We talked right before the 4th of July about some of his million projects—the Fire Island series, Silence of the Cams, and So You Think You Can Fuck.

5. ANDREW!:
Andrew doesn’t do porn, but the guy who uses the Manhunt screen name HotCrippledLover won over quite a few fans, first by talking to Colby Keller and then later when he became our Manhunt Man of the Week. Another Canadian, we talked about the logistics of hooking up with disabled guys, online communities and how horny he is all the time. I never asked him about hockey, though, which is unlike me.

4. DALE COOPER:
Dale Cooper’s got the sultriest voice. Like yes, he’s got a giant dick, and yes, it’s fun to watch his ass get pounded by men with equally giant dicks, but this guy could record audiobooks, and you’d probably jizz just as hard and then be all like, “Wow, who knew Donna Tartt was so porny?” We talked about his library of queer theory books, Twin Peaks and the AIDS LifeCycle ride.

3. JAKE DECKARD:
Jake Deckard retired! And the world was sad. But he was nice enough to talk to me about his decision, and about a whole host of other topics—Southeast Asia, New York City, motivational speakers—this past spring.
_______________________________________________________________________________
2. BEN DRIVER:
Ben Driver is not a huge hockey fan, and I know, because I asked because he is Canadian. He was actually my first interview, and the road might have been a little bumpy except that he’s so smart and sweet and thoughtful. Also, not to be a total size queen, but really, I’ll take any excuse to look at this guy’s monster cock. If his penis were a John Cougar Mellencamp song, I’m sure it would be the one about hurting so good. (Which I guess is better than if it were the one about a cherry bomb.) The world needs more Ben Driver.

1. BRYAN SLATER:
Bryan Slater entered the porn industry in his forties, and he left it, er, right as I talked to him this summer. He’s a very nice, extremely chatty guy, and we talked about being a porn dad and fucking dudes less than half your age, but we also talked about Wilfried Knight’s untimely passing and about clinical depression. It’s kind of a Longread, but sometimes—a lot of the time, judging from these ten—porn stars are more than just a big dick and a bunch of abs.
