Ex blakemason staff - any questions?

Have you left the site and the professional porn world now and, if so and it's OK to ask, what contributed to those decisions?

And also there seemed to be quite a lot of animosity between BM and the owner of another leading English site. Was that just healthy professional rivalry or did it go deeper for some reason?

Good questions! I’ve been away from the site for about a decade now. Was a fantastic adventure at the time. :) EL and us were never really rivals - we didn’t touch up our models like they did. We just wanted to make the porn we wanted to watch.

Porn and me didn’t really work out - so I left my chum to properly develop the site - and he was super successful!

All questions are valid x
 
And another question, if that's OK please? Did you ever get approaches from family members or partners of models wanting you to take down their shoots? I seem to remember hearing that the father of a guy who modelled both for BM and the other site, Ryan Carter, made an intervention to stop his lad doing porn. I'm thinking it could be kind of risky for site owners/operators, given that not everyone in the world is entirely rational or reasonable ...

Another cool question!

We’d planned for this at the start, and part of the contract had a “buy back” feature - so that the models could have their films removed from the site if they wanted.

Quite a few did this (became police / joined the army / etc) - I cant say who - obviously! One guy messaged us after his film went live to say that he was underage and had faked his ID. We didn’t get the fee back on that one, and his film came down immediately!

There was one very sad time where we learned that a very new to the industry guy had contracted HIV (not on our site, as you know we were 100% condom). The guy’s mother was on the phone - very angry and upset - completely blaming us for getting him into the industry, and therefore his status.

Clearly a fit 20 bloke with a killer body and cock and an interest in porn is going to be having a lot of sex! We were very empathic, but didn’t feel responsible. I hope he’s well x
 
Again, thanks for the reply. That must be very unusual in porn, no, the 'buy back' option? Oh to know which models became policemen! In the time since you left the site and the porn production world, social media must have changed the landscape beyond recognition, in both good and bad ways. Good in that guys who are confident enough can feel empowered to 'own' their porn careers and wear them almost as a badge of honour. Bad in that trolls can make less confident guys' lives a misery on Facebook and elsewhere, telling their friends, families and employers, if they didn't already know.

On a lighter note and echoing the enquiry of the poster above, yes, Jon Janes ... What was he like? Would be great to have news of what he's up to these days also. He seemed to just disappear from the scene, having been ubiquitous for a while. x.

Yes - we wanted to remove barriers to commit from the model point of view. I don’t know about other studios, but yes, it’s probably quite rare. You lose good stuff from your catalog that was expensive and hard work to make - and you can’t earn anything.
 
You said in your reply to my first question that you and porn 'didn't really work out' ... No worries if it's too intrusive to ask, but could you elaborate on that a little possibly? And would you have enjoyed being in front of the camera yourself as a younger man, rather than behind it?

Yeah, not going to elaborate on that, sorry!

I would Have Loved to have been a performer in my 20s. Was fit, and used to shag everything. I stopped counting at 250! (I was very popular - have you seen my verification pic ? hehe)

Yes, I've seen it and that's kind of why I asked! Never too late though. I'm sure you're still very popular and would be even more so if you modelled ... :)

Awwh, blushes!! Thank you. Need to get down the gym a bit more often before I’d consider it. Flabby Daddy isn’t a category on pornhub!! Haha

Not going to rule it out though....

BM was one of the first porn sites that I found back in the Noughties. Spent far too much on monthly subscriptions! Still have many of the films that downloaded though. I remember loving some of the really early guys, particularly Jason (skinny builder type who looks a lot like Pob) and Andrew (preppy, young English guy). Both had amazing cum shots. I must have watched their solo films and the one they did together literally dozens of times. Did you film with them?

Aww, thanks anyway :)

I can’t remember anyone being anything but sweet on set though. There was a couple of guys who were really intense afterwards - had one bloke ring me at about 11pm later that night to tell me how straight he was in real life. I wanted to say “yeah, that’s ok mate - you really did enjoy bottoming today though, didn’t you?” (Cos he came with it inside him!) - but I felt it better to play cool and say nothing!!

Yeah, Jason was proper hot. I’m sure I would have been told off for involuntary heavy breathing on the day! Don’t remember Andrew though...

Will & Cameron jerking each other off on the sofa remains a particular favourite from the early days.

Ah. Jason Harrow - my introduction to BM in the early days. Seemed like a lovely lad. Back then (and for a good while afterwards) BM was the 'go to' site. Sadly, I stopped even looking for the latest updates a couple of years or so ago. Long after your time, I know, but it just became another generic porn site and completely lost the USP that it had for many years. Such a shame.

Thank you for the work that you put into BM to keep us all 'entertained' for so long. IMO the site, in its heyday, has never been equalled or bettered. As it once was, sadly missed.

Humbled by your praise, sir! Thank you so much for being part of it’s success. It was a wild ride x
