What happened to Joe Gage?

[eggplantbro]

He created some of the hottest porn films of the decade in my opinion. Really a trailblazer in making porn that explored the taboo, which nowadays is a dime a dozen. I feel like he hired actors that had tremendous chemistry with one another, and always directed scenes to cultivate tension in a masterful way.

It seems his last film(s) were over 5 years ago. Does anyone have any idea what happened to this horny genius?

Yes what happened to him?

The guy is 79. I'd imagine he retired.

 

[phox319]

IF you Google Joe Gage, I think you can find some recent profiles of him. I personally emailed him about 4 years ago and he responded. I wish someone would do a serious biography of him.

And thank him for the work he did. Many a good time was had!

yeah he retired a year or so ago. It's a shame he deleted his blog, he always shared the best content! I also remember him mentioning he was working on a new script, but nothing came of it due to health issues before retiring. Its a shame no one can compare to his work. We need a new Joe Gage in the industry

How does Joe Gage relate to Dragon Media?

How does Joe Gage relate to Dragon Media?

He directed a lot of their early stuff, he couldn’t find a studio that would allow him to make story based porn (he was also with titan men but they slowly became all about the sex). I think dragon gave him more freedom with his scripts and the type of men in the movies

not my writing but

"Joe Gage was another self-loather who promoted the macho straight top indulging in secretive shameful gay sex. He made a point that none of his characters were gay - they just fucked men but married women like he did. I could barely make it through that self-congratulatory interview in Butt where he bemoans gay rights activism and identity for making it harder for "straight" men to live double lives and thus makes it harder for him to find trade to fuck him..."

Thanks for this quote. With it I found the interview in Butt 19, from 2007.

I like his view on sex between guys versus being gay. I think there is a lot of truth in that. Just like his view on intergenerational sex between guys.
Perhaps it is less applicable to the current times with greater acceptance of homosexuals, but I am convinced that it certainly still occurs a lot. Sex between men who would never, ever call themselves gay and who would never, ever enter into a relationship with another man. The chances that they will ever fall in love with another guy are practically zero.
And still they like to have sex with other men on a regular basis.
It makes the whole discussion about the sexuality of male porn models, the G4P issue and even the sexuality of men in general all the more difficult. And rather useless!!

For those who are interested, here is another article about his work on TheSword, from 2014:

In my view "gay", "bi" and "str8" all three are umbrella terms. Each of them have lots of subcategories.
Human sexuality is very complex.
It's such a pity that a lot of people refuse to understand this and persist in putting everyone into one of the three boxes.
