And I'm like, man, if only everybody knew what I was feeling, you know what I mean? This is like my secret, but come to find out. It's just a natural progression. And yeah, I mean, I'm sure we're in the same boat. I was beaten off to everything. Ha ha ha. All right, guys, we got Dread here today.

He's in town for AVN. That's two years off, right? Yes, sir. Well, May, do you want to come back? Well, not two years off, but two years from being at AVN. You know, last year, you're just like, you want to do it when you have something going on. And I was shooting exclusively for Jules Jordan.

And so I've kind of been shooting my own thing now. And so I felt like, you know, I'm like right in the middle. And I didn't have anything to really push. So I, you know, I stayed away. Makes sense. And now you got the Dread Dong, which is killing it. The Dread Dong is here. It has taken the world by storm. So they told me. And the official Dread Triple X website is right around the corner, and I'm really happy about that. Man, 12 inches, right? They say 14.

Damn. Yeah, I know. Holy crap. They say 14, but I never say, hey man, people run with it. Some people say it's 15 inches. I go, okay. I remember hearing stories of someone

who had the world record for the longest penis and he would pass out when he got hard. Oh my God. Have you heard of that? I have not heard about that one. But you know what? Nowadays guys are able to do things to their junk that they couldn't do before.

So I'm sure we're close to like, you know, the 20 incher. Oh my God. The 20 inch penis is around the corner. I know it is. That's crazy, man. I mean, anything past a foot is... 20 incher. Oh my God. The 20 inch penis is around the corner. I know it is. That's crazy, man. I mean, anything past a foot is. I think it's a little too much to deal with.

Yeah. You know, you gotta do stuff. You gotta walk around. You gotta play sports. Exactly. And it's not even so much just like the size. It's, you know, the rigidity, you know, cause you could have a big size and it just kinda,

you know, that accordion, you know, cause you could have a big size and it just kind of, you know, that accordion, it just, it just falls out. So to have that, you know, that solid rigidity, that's important. Yeah, man. Does it, does it affect you like on a daily basis? Like, is it annoying? You know what, man, I've never had an issue with it really. I mean, maybe on my hand, the amount of times.

Oh, that's it? Yeah, a girl was like, I just can't do it. You know what I mean? But for the most part, you know, all my years in porn and all my years in the lifestyle, women were happy about it. Right. So, and I get, people would ask me,

man, that's gotta be a problem. You know, and I'll joke around. And my joke is, you know, I can't wait to get that penis reduction surgery. You know what I mean? I'm tired of this thing. It's too big. It comes out of my shorts every time.

I can't wear shorts. It's too heavy, you know. You've never heard that. You know, I'm only kidding with that. Yeah. Everyone wants to enhance, right? Exactly. Yeah.

There's all sorts of stuff you could try these days. For sure. Who knows if any of it works? You would know, probably. I don't know. Exactly. Yeah. There's all sorts of stuff you could try these days. For sure. Who knows if any of it worked? You would know probably. I don't know. You know, look, I started in 2009 and I left in 2010 and I was gone for a few years because I just felt like it wasn't for me.

You know, I was always a fan of porn and I enjoyed it. And like most guys, when you would would watch it you'd kind of go you know what I could do that I could do that just put me in a room with this hot female but you know once you get in that room and there are other factors working other people in the room the lights are sometimes extra bright and whereas you thought you could do it now the struggle begins So I left and then I came back in 2015. So there are a small amount of people who think, while I was gone, I did this, you know, this surgery.

You know, all of a sudden I got this super big dong. You know what I mean? And I'm like, no, it's not the case. I just didn't feel like it was for me at that time. Interesting. You had a different point in your life maybe. You know, I just, it's not the case. I just didn't feel like it was for me at that time. Interesting. You're at a different point in your life maybe. You know, it was something that I thought I could do and the nerves kicked in, I'm not gonna lie,

and it was a struggle, you know, I'd be sitting there. You know, you walk in feeling great and everybody says, oh, the man is here, here we go. And you walk in and the blood just isn't flowing and now you're kind of like on that lifeboat, the SOS sign, please, and the girl's kind of like looking at her watch and her phone, and I was like,

this ain't for me, man, you know what I mean? Now, when I left, here's what the difference was, I got heavily involved in the lifestyle, the swinging lifestyle. Got it. And I got more comfortable being around people, being at parties, being at clubs, performing in front of people.

So that now when I went back in 2015, I was like, let's go, now I'm ready. You had the confidence. Oh, I had it. So that helped a lot. And the hunger, the drive to succeed. You know what I mean? Yeah. Did you see it as a mainly as a means. And the hunger, the drive to succeed. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Did you see it as a, mainly as a means to make money or how did you view it? You know what? Good. Excellent question, dude. That was, you know what? I wanted the fortune. I didn't really care so much for the fame.

You know, I got in it a little bit later on in life and I was just looking to make ends meet. Yeah. I had no idea things were gonna turn into what it's turned into. Now I'm not bitter about it. You know, I'm cool, I'm happy about it, but it's definitely not what I signed up for.

Was it instant success? Like where were the signs along the way? Cause you came back in 2015. Yep, well when I came back there were people because when I shot maybe, I think maybe it was like 20 scenes in 2009, and I shot for a pretty known studio down in Miami. So there were people when I came back who remembered me,

you know, who said, oh man, he's back, where's he been? Okay, well good to see him again. And again, I had that hunger, and things were just totally different. And so that was the main change, you know what I mean? But thankfully, there were people like my name was still there. Yeah. Wow.

So it was kind of like you eased right into it type of thing? Eased right into it. And things just started happening from there. I started back up again with those same guys. Then it was really just like a word of mouth thing. You know, I shot with a girl for them who said, you know what, I know these guys in LA. They would love to shoot you.

Okay, fine, tell them, you know. So that she passed that along. Then I started flying out because I was living in Miami at the time. So I started flying out doing the back and forth thing to LA. And each time just really trying to make a statement, you know, that was my thing at the time was like,

every scene that I shot, I put a lot into, you know what I mean? And I think it showed and one thing just led to the next. And then the next thing, you know it, I've got an exclusive deal with Jules Jordan and I was exclusive with him for like seven years. Wow. Yeah.

Well done. Six or seven years. There's something there, man, cause standing out as a male in this industry is really hard. Cause a lot of guys can name females. Yeah, for sure. Well, you know what, man,

look, when I shoot my own stuff, I really like to take the back seat and put the emphasis on the girl, because when I watch porn, I watch for the girl. You know what I mean? As long as the guy kind of could do his job, I wasn't big. So the fact that I've got this fan base of people who are into me, I'm very appreciative of it,

and I'm really humbled by that. Because again, it's a girl's thing, you know? And I know there are a lot of guys who feel like, you know, because they have a name, they should be front and center. I never looked at it that way. So I always want to put the emphasis on the girl. That's respect, man.

That's how I treat my podcast too. There you go. Emphasis is always on the girl. That's respect, man. That's how I treat my podcast too. There you go. Emphasis is always on the guest. That's it. That's it. I think once you start making it and not just a podcast, but I think this applies for anything. Once you start making it more about yourself,

you know, it could kind of change things. I think so, yeah. Cause then ego starts getting in the way. For sure. Yeah. 100%. You sound like you really balanced ego and confidence. Yeah, man, I'm humble. I mean, I'm a guy, like I said,

just happy to be in this position of where, you know, it's, hey, we want dread, you know what I mean? And I love that, again, not what I signed up for, but I've embraced it. Yeah. You know what I mean? What was that inspiration for the Swinger lifestyle? Was that something you witnessed growing up, or how did that come about? You know what I mean? What was that inspiration for the Swinger lifestyle? Was that something you witnessed growing up or how did that come about?

You know what, man? That, it came at the right time. And I mean that because I was kind of like, well, so much for the porn thing, that didn't work out. But then a girl I knew, she said, you know what? You do really well in the lifestyle. And I said, well, what is that? Oh, you know, couples, you meet couples.

I said, well, you know, I'm not, I don't do any, I'm not gay, I'm not doing gay stuff. No, no, no, it's not that. The husbands usually just wanna watch and kinda, so I was like, I don't know, man. I just wasn't sure about it. And then I tried it. And man, it was like learning to ride a bike.

You know what I mean? Once you get it, you know, you got it, you never forget it. And it just became a thing for like a decade I did that. You know, being flown out to different parts of the country just for the sole purpose of fucking. Wow, so people would fly you out for that? Oh man, I've flown out to places,

a guy like me in Skokie, Illinois, something's going on there. But I would go to these places, man, and all revolving around, now it wasn't just, and I was just thinking about the lifestyle, which is one of the things I miss, was it wasn't just the sexual aspect, it was getting to know just different people

from different walks of life, who all had this common denominator of sex. Interesting. Yeah, those are denominator of sex. Interesting. Yeah, those are some of my best times. I have people to this day who ask me, who know about my involvement in the lifestyle, man, what's better, the super hot porn star or the hot wife? And on the outside, I go, you know, that's a tough question.

But on the inside, I'm like, that's a no brainer, you know? Because in the lifestyle, these were a lot of times these are situations where there were couples where it would just be them. And now, you know, maybe they're empty nesters, the kids moved out, they want to explore, expand on their sexuality. So these are women who have this pent up sexual energy that it's hard to match against, you know, your hot porn star who, where we're trying to just shoot a great scene and the chemistry could be great and all that,

but it's just, it's two different things. It's more cut throughout, it's more business minded, right? 100%. Yeah, I actually did want to ask you that, like how do you view sex? Do you think there's a spiritual slash emotional connection in the art of sex? You know what, I think there is and I

think that can be achieved while you're shooting porn too because I don't want anyone to think well you know porn it's just this choreographed thing. I mean yeah there's okay do this do that but during that you try to develop something with who you're shooting with where you just kind of meet right here and that's what I think makes the scene. Now a lot of times it's lopsided, you know, but I think once you find that common point with porn, I think that that whole,

that sexual energy you're talking about is there. Yeah. It can be cheap. I'm a big believer in it, man. For sure. I just feel like the sex is better if there's that emotional connection personally. Oh yeah, for sure. There's no doubt. Yeah.

And you experienced that with the swinger stuff, it sounds like? I experienced it so many times, man. Again, I've seen just the joy. Because I mean, a lot of times the boyfriends and the husbands, they just want to see their better half having a pleasurable time. Right. You know what I mean? So I've seen that so many times. And it's just an all around good feeling. You know, you may? So I've seen that so many times. And it's just, it's an all around good feeling. You know, you may think on the surface, you go,

oh no, man, that's not for me. I don't, I could never see my woman. But I'm telling you, you know, a lot of times it's like a guy, he may be an older guy who's got this younger trophy wife. And he's just like, hey, I can't really keep up with her. So I respect that, you know? I mean, I could see it. You have sex with the same person like thousands of times.

Eventually it gets a little boring, you know? You want to spice it up a bit. For sure. Yeah. Bring some new energy in there. That's cool, man. Yeah. I didn't know that was a lifestyle.

That was some of the best experiences I've had in my, I'm telling you, in my life. I mean, and I was in Miami at that time. So Miami being a very desirable place, a lot of times, people from outside of the country, hey, we're coming in to Miami. My wife really likes you. What do you, okay, sure.

You're right. Can't turn that down. As easy as that. Yeah, wow, that's fascinating, man. Yeah, man, good stuff. Would you still do that these days or you're kind of more laid back? I'm glad you asked me that

because I get a lot of emails and messages about from husbands and boyfriends who think that's still in my bag. And I'm like, you know what, I'm sorry. Your wife looks beautiful, but I'm just not the guy anymore. Yeah, no, I cut it out. Was it a specific moment that caused that decision? Once I started to get more active in,

once the porn became more of a thing, especially when I started shooting my own stuff, I just didn't have the time. You know what I mean? I mean, maybe if I was still in my 20s, I could be that guy, but now I'm more focused on what really matters the most. And shooting is what matters the most for me. Do you think your sex drive died down a little bit too since your twenties?

You know what, I get asked that often and no, but I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna give you a good analogy if you will. Yeah. I don't know if you're a big sports fan. I am. Okay, Michael Jordan, when he first started, he was a high flyer.

He was dunking on everybody. He was making all these wild shots. As he got older, his game transitioned from high flyer to mid-range assassin. So now I'm like a mid-range assassin. I'm not the high flyer anymore, but I could still kill you, you know what I mean? But it's just more mid range, more of a savvy,

but I feel, and from what the fans tell me, I still always try to deliver high energy. I always try to bring that no matter what. And no, I feel like that has not decreased at all. Well done. Because you hear guys in their 30s, 40s saying they lost the stuff. Yeah, no, and I get it.

I mean, it's really normal. But I think if you have that thing, that sexual, like I discovered sex at way too of an early age. Seven years old. What? Yeah, seven years old is when I discovered my father's stash.

Wow. And I never got those, what I saw in his box. This wasn't no Playboy or Hustler. This was like some wild shit from, and I was like, damn Pops, how are you getting this? But anyway, it just had an effect on me that stuck with me and it created this sexual, this thing that I still have to this day.

Holy crap. Yeah, I never, when I shoot a scene, I, but bro, I'm telling you, I swear to you, I never look at it like, oh shit, man, I gotta shoot this. Yeah, I gotta shoot this scene today. All right, here we go. No, I look at every scene, I always get up for it. I get excited, like it's the first one, you know?

And I still got that. That mindset's important right? Gotta have that. Anything you do not just sex but for sure yeah all aspects of life. But you know I'm also careful now because you know you can I mean too much of one thing can be a bad thing you know even something as great as sex so I've never been a shoot every day kind of guy. So I try to shoot, rest up, recharge, so that I'm fresh for, you know. Did you ever struggle with that addiction with sex?

Like a sex addiction or a porn addiction? Well, I wouldn't say I struggled with it, but I had it. I was a huge fan of porn before I got into it. Yeah. Massive. And so it's funny because Christy Canyon, okay? Christy Canyon, who's a legend in the industry, and she's someone I used to crush on in the 80s.

Back in like 89. And so I always loved Christy Canyon. What's not to like, you know, those huge natural, you know, you know what I mean? And she's just beautiful. And here it is, decades later, I get hit up by Christie. Now she hadn't shot, and like she told me, she said, I haven't shot in like 20 years,

but she said, my fans keep telling me, I gotta work with you. And so I was like, yeah, you know what I mean? I was like, yeah. And I'm like, okay, but damn, that was like decades ago. Let me make sure I'm signing up for, you know. And no, she's still great, still looks fantastic. And so Christie Canyon, when I did shoot with her,

that really was like a dream scenario. I love that. Couldn't believe it, man. Your dreams came true. For sure. Wow. Yeah, I didn't discover it till I was in high school. Okay.

Born 15 years old. So you discovered it at seven. Wow. That's first grade, man. So, yeah. So who, was there anyone in particular like that you were big on? Back then it was Riley Reed. Okay. I shot with her.

Yeah. And I think Lana Rhodes was big on her. I shot with her a couple of times. Yeah. But 15, discovered it on accident. Okay. Yeah. How'd that happen? I just started masturbating on accident I didn't even know what it was right that crazy. We're in the same boat. Of course I think I think most guys have that thing of like

You discover something And it's kind of like man if only everybody knew I was feeling you know I mean, this is like my secret but come come to find out, it's just a natural progression. And yeah, I mean, I'm sure we're in the same boat. I was beaten off to everything. I remember telling my friends the next day like, yo, I discovered porn. They're like, dude, I knew that four years ago.

Like, what'd you talk about? Right, right, right, right, right. You know, like 10, 11 years old. For sure. Crazy, man. Yeah. But now it's everywhere. I mean, it's unavoidable with social media. Yeah, I mean, you's unavoidable with social media. Yeah.

I mean, you know, back in the day, like when I was younger and porn was very hard to get access to. Yeah, just magazines, right? It was magazines. And then when the VHS, when that whole thing came along, you would go to like a video store, just to whether you wanted to rent, you know,

Purple Rain or whatever back in the day. And you'd be like, hey, where's the adult section? Oh, it's back there in the corner. There's a curtain in front of it. You know, you walk in, is there an anal section? Oh, yeah, that's the last rack. The last rack. Now, look at it. It's so accessible. Anal is like a big thing. Yeah. Anal is a huge thing now. Shoot a lot of anal. But back then. So my whole thing is that now, I mean, it's as big. It's bigger now than ever. Yeah.

I mean, it's everywhere. You go on Twitter, you go on Instagram, any platform. There's some soft porn on there. Can't get away from it. And they funnel you into their OF now. For sure. Yeah. And that's you shoot your own content now, right?

Yeah, I'm shooting my own stuff and it's been going well. It's taken off. I'm shooting my own stuff and it's been going well, it's taken off. I'm really, really happy about it. It's a unique style that I shoot. Some people will critique it and go, I shoot too close, but I like that because it separates my stuff

from what everybody else is doing. And again, put the emphasis on the girl. If you got some great action, a great setting, great aesthetic, you can't go wrong with that. What content do you get asked to shoot the most? Anal. Anal, really? Anal's the thing.

And look, for me, look, I'm like, sometimes I wake up and I'm like, man, what did I do to deserve this life? I'll look and look at emails and a girl will say, look, I've been training my ass for you. I'm just like, okay, I love that. You know what I mean? And I think I could do it. And I'm just like, okay. And I'm open to give. I mean, I've shot with a lot of girls who are like new, fresh out the gate, and they want to come out strong and make a name for themselves. And so I'm all in, you know? Wow.

Yeah, she's good enough looking at all that stuff and let's go. Let's do it. How does one train their ass for that? A lot of stretching. Stretching? How do you even like actually stretching the whole part, I guess? Yeah, stretching the whole part. I think, you know, training with larger size dildos. See, now that the official dong is out there, you know, training with larger size dildos. Now that the official dong is out there, you know, because I used to, they'd say, well, what can I do to train?

And I had nothing to, just use your largest size toy. Yeah. You know? But now the thing is, you know, get the dong because the dong is accurate. Look, the length is exaggerated, you know, I'll be honest about that. But the girth and the shape is exact. Oh, really?

Yeah. Because they took a mold, right? It's a mold. Yeah. And that's a whole process where you, you know, I didn't even know anything about it, you know, but you put it in this big bowl and somebody's whipping up the batter, like witch's brew, and they take it and pour it on their own, you know.

And you have to maintain an erection through all that. Damn. For how long? I would say about maybe five or 10 minutes. That's actually long it on their own, you know, and you have to maintain an erection through all that. Damn, for how long? I would say about maybe five or 10 minutes. That's actually long though on your own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're not allowed to touch it, so it's actually-

Not allowed to touch it, you gotta stand there and they're pouring this stuff on your junk. Now the good thing is, is it goes fast. Yeah. So, and even if you start to lose it, once they get it, you're good. Got it. You just have to be strong when they pour that stuff.

So did you have nude girls around you while you were doing it to keep you? It was all mental. You know what I had to do that day, dude? I had to take it back to like when I was a kid, where there were no visuals and I was just in my mind, think of a teacher, a hot teacher I had. She told me to stay after one day

and we started fucking around. So I really had to go into the mental bag and just kind of get there. Yeah. You had to lock in. Had to lock in. Sometimes you have to do that though, right? During scenes.

Yeah, you do. No, and that's one thing about this that's why when we were talking about it earlier, you really got to try to establish some kind of a rapport or hopefully, like I was never big on, like if you show up on set and the male talent goes this way, the female goes that way. And then when you come out, here we go.

I always like to try to, hey, how's it going? Hey, I've been looking forward to, just to get something going. And that helps, with me, that helps a lot. Add that personal touch. For sure. Yeah, I agree with that for sure. Are you a fan of any toys?

Like, I wanna hear your opinion on some of these, like the flesh lights or anything like that. I'm not particularly, I'm not gonna say I'm particularly a fan of any of them, but I mean, I've shot with girls who, let's say if we're shooting an anal scene, they're, hey, you mind if I just use this on myself while you're in, no problem.

And it could be anything, some of those little stimulating, I can't remember what you call those things, but, or it could just be- Oh, the butt plug? Yeah, something along those lines, or the wand, the Hitachi. I've never heard of that one. Never heard of that one?

No. Is that a vibrator or something? Yeah. It's like a long kind of, you know, vibrating thing. And so, um, you know, they say it helps, you know, the cause. So I'm not, me personally, I'm not, uh, there isn't a toy that, um, maybe those beads. I remember back in the day, the anal beads used to be a thing.

But it's not really a thing anymore. I don't see too many people wrapping up. Don't see that anymore. Yeah. I tried the Auto Blow when I was in like college. I didn't like that one. Oh really? Have you tried that one?

I have not tried that one. Yeah, it didn't feel that good. Really? Yeah. They're probably better by now. They're coming out with all these sex robots and. Oh man, Harry dude. Have you been seeing some of that stuff? I've been seeing them.

Bro, I'm from the days where the sex doll was just like, you know, with the mouth open wide, you know what I mean? And you sit there and you carry it, you know what I mean? But now, I just saw something the other day, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She's, the facial expressions, skin feels soft. Body, movement, you know? And I'm like, wow, yeah, we finally got to that place, man.

Yeah, technology is a beast, man. I mean, there's a lot of people struggling to get laid these days. I know, and this is going to help. This is going directly at that group of guys who just have no, there's no hope anymore. So one of these sex dolls, and they talk to you different languages.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe it. I'm telling you, I saw it just the other day. I know what you're talking about though, cause my dad had the original one where it's just like, it's heavy, man. Right. Carried upstairs.

Yeah, and it's expressionless and it's just got the mouth wide open with the eyes popped open wide. And I'm like, who wants to mess with that? You know what I mean? Yeah, he got it. He was pumped to show me it. I'm like, this is whack.

Yeah, man. No, yeah. From China. Right, yeah. Yeah, but who knows what the future will be. I've heard 40% of young guys are virgins these days. It's tough, dude. I mean, look, the whole thing,

what's that called? The VR, VR porn. Yeah, virtual reality. Virtual reality. I was not that familiar with it, right? And I bought the, I think the one I got was Oculus. And I just got it because people were, I kept seeing people having these reactions while they had it on.

So I was like, I wanna see what this is about. So I got it and I didn't really mess around with it. But then one day something came over me and I said, let me see what this VR porn looks. As soon as I saw it, I was like, oh man, yeah. It was that good? Oh dude, that's, it's like you're right there with that. Wow.

Yeah, and the way it's shot, like again, I've never shot VR porn, I've never done it, but I've seen it, it's like you're in the room. It's a very, almost like intimate kind of setting and you look up and you're in that room. So for guys who there's, where there's no hope, they'll be sitting there watching this shit all day, all night.

I can see that, man. Yeah. How did the rise of OF affect your business? Did it take a toll? Game changer, game changer for me. And I, you know, look, it's, for me personally, I was at that time like, I need to start generating some more, some income. Right. For me personally, I was at that time like,

I need to start generating some more, some income. I mean, and what I was making shooting was fine, but I wanted more. And so I had fans going, when are you gonna start this OnlyFans thing? This was 2018. And I remember at the time, I was dismissive of it. I was like, fuck that, I don't got time for that. Content creator, I'm not that guy. I go on set and shoot. I forget that. And they

kept asking, man, you got to do this OnlyFans thing. You can make all this. So that went on for like six months. And then finally one day I was hanging out with this girl and she said, you do this OnlyFans thing? And I said, no. She's like, no. She's like, but I just started. I was like, me too. She's like, you want to do? I said, okay, we'll do a little something. And we just propped up a camera, you know, and put it in the corner. And we just started doing some stuff.

And I remember I posted it and I looked at the phone and I was like, yeah, just like I thought, this is nothing. Then I did it again. And I was like, what a freaking waste of time. I'm giving up, I don't need this. And then it started, it caught on. And this was right before COVID. And I remember going, hmm, you know,

I started, kept looking at it and it kept going up and going up and going up. And I was like, whoa, this is a game changer right here. And then I just, it got to a point of where it was doing so good. I said, you know what? I'm gonna turn this into something. I'm gonna start putting money back into it. Which is why when I said, you know what, I'm going to turn this into something. Yeah. I'm going to start putting money back into it, which is why when I shoot, like

I want it to be a really nice quality production. So whether it's hair and makeup, whether it's not so much a location, I got that covered, but I started just putting money back into it because like, I wanted to make it as big as possible. And so that just like, man, that was huge, huge for me. Yeah, the timing was great because pandemic, everyone was inside. Exactly.

And I'm sure with most people, when the pandemic came, the numbers skyrocketed. And I think it kind of, you know, afterwards, it kind of levels out a little. But I'm thankful that I've had, and I still have, like, true fans who are like, look dude, we're with you no matter what, you know? And I'm just like, wow, man, I really appreciate that.

I love that. Is your fan base mainly women or is it male? Great question, man. It's, um, and people ask me that and it's honestly is a little bit of everything, you know? Um, I don't, I don't really have a lot of, a lot of, I have, I'm sure I do have a lot of gay fans, but not because I don't, I don't really have a lot of gay, I'm sure I do have a lot of gay fans, but not because I don't do anything to cater. Like one thing that people are big on with OnlyFans are like customs.

I've had a lot of guys going, man, can you just jerk off and say my girlfriend's name a few times, what's your price? You know what I'm like? I don't have a price, dude. I don't really do that. I've never done that. But I get asked about that all the time.

You know, the solo. I think I've done a solo one or two times. Okay, so you don't like solos? I just don't, you know, I wanna just give them the complete package, you know, which is how I run it. Scenes, you know, clips from scenes. I just don't, like I said, I've done it maybe a custom,

I mean a solo like one or two times. It's just not my thing. Yeah, what's the most you've been offered money-wise for something? Oh man, sky's the limit. Yeah? Sky's the limit, yeah. I mean, just nothing like, I mean, I'm not talking any ridiculous amounts,

like half a million dollars or anything, but like five, $10,000 to just jerk off and just say either their wife or their girlfriend's name, bust a load to them and away we go. Wow. Yeah. I've heard some crazy offers to some females. Oh, the females get it. Like there's no tomorrow, man. I've heard of some being flown out to Dubai, shitting on people's chests, making 25 grand doing that. Isn't that nuts? Yeah, man. No, that's the world we're in.

That's the world we're in now. We're there. We're not on our way there. We have officially arrived. Yeah. Nothing probably fazes you at this point though. No, I've kind of seen it all. I mean, some things do still surprise me

when I see certain content that people are big on. Yeah. Whether it's like, you know, puking. Puking. Throwing up, yeah, that's a thing. Whoa. The throwing up thing. I don't get it, but there is demand for it.

I don't get asked about it, because people know I don't do that. But when I see things like that, I'm like, wow, we're really taking it someplace we've never gone before. You know what I mean? So the puking, like you said, the crapping and all that. You know, so, but we're here, you know? Yeah, has, because you've been in it for what,

20 years now? I've been, well, I started in 2009. 2009, so 1929, about 20 years. I mean, it's something like, you know, I don't, but it's deceptive because again, I took that break. 2009, so 1929. About 20 years. I mean, it's something like, you know, I don't, but it's deceptive because again, I took that break. Yeah, yeah. And a lot of people don't know I took that break. So they, you know, dreads the OG, man.

He's been in this forever. When I'm like, well, in reality, when you really total up the amount of years I've been doing it, it's not that long, but still. I like, about 15, 10, 15, something like that. Have you seen like what goes viral change frequently or is it kind of consistent for the most part? You know, I'm gonna about 15, 10, 15, something like that. Have you seen what goes viral change frequently or is it kind of consistent for the most part? You know, I'm gonna tell you something, man.

I don't, if somebody I'm shooting with and if it goes and it gets a lot of clicks and all that, and fine, I don't aim to do that because I feel like now you're gonna be in a constant vacuum of like, okay, now what could I do? Now how could I top that? You know what I mean? So I'd rather, I'm the type to rather just keep it

a steady flow of like, okay, we know his stuff's gonna be good, it's gonna be solid. But again, if that happens, if the viral, that's fine. I'm not obviously not against it. But I just feel like for me, I'd rather just keep it like even keel. Cause I just don't wanna feel like, well now what do I have to do? How am I gonna top that?

That's actually so smart. Cause you see that issue with social media people where they're constantly thinking of crazy or crazier ideas to do and then they end up in a car crash or something. I've been seeing a lot of that kind of stuff lately, man. And it's like, look, we gotta ease up a little bit. You know what I mean? Is it worth your life?

You know what I mean? Is it worth dying over? You know, so, but I don't know. I mean, again, just like it's changed my life, I'm sure it's changed in so many people's lives, you know? Absolutely. Would you ever go a podcast route or some other form of content? I've thought about it. I've definitely been given it more so lately, given it more consideration. So yeah, I've entertained that. Yeah, you got a great personality for it.

People tell me, man, you know, I mean, when I was way back in the day, when I was in college, my major was communications. And I was like, I wanna do something. People would say, you gotta do something with that voice. You know what I mean? That voice is just so, and I was like, okay, but that didn't work out, and so here we are in a day and age where podcasts have become a huge thing. And so I'm like, well, maybe this could be my calling now.

Because look, I'm not gonna be, you know, doing pumping out content for, you know, I got a cutoff plan. My cutoff plan is probably like 60. Okay. Get to 60, you say it was a good run, and then now it's time to, you know, transition into something else.

And podcasting could be it. Yeah, it's cool to see you plan that far ahead actually. Yeah, man. When you first started, there was a lot of shame around the industry, right? Absolutely. A lot of guilt? A lot, a lot.

And I think it's still there to a degree. But you know, back then porn was like, I mean, it's so much more accepted now. Yeah. Back then it was like this, like a dirty thing. I was scared to even tell people I watched it back then. Because people would be critical of you. They'd be like, what the hell are you doing?

And I didn't want to hear that. I'm like, I'm just having fun. You know what I mean? But we've gotten out of that place. And that's, I think, just thanks to because it's just been just like a barrage. I mean, the floodgates have officially been opened. You know what I mean?

You've got people wanting to shoot content creators from all different makeups and different ages. When it comes to sex work, you know, you've got people who were formerly teachers and doctors and EMTs who have now decided, you know what? I want to make more money. I want to be able to support my family. And doing what I was doing previously wasn't cutting it.

So now I'm doing this. And you know what, I don't care what people think. So I think we've gotten so much of that, that now it's become way more accepted, man. And so I think what I'm getting at is that now is like the best time. The sex work, content creation, whatever it is, now is the time to kind of spread your wings and kind of get into that.

Similar with video games too. There was a lot of shame playing those growing up and now people are making a living off video games. I remember parents used to like yell at kids. I used to get yelled at for playing, you know? But now it's like, yeah, it'll play some video games. For sure, people are making money.

Streaming, man. Yeah. Streaming, the streamers are making the most right now. Oh yeah, yeah, it'll play some video games. For sure, people are making money. Streaming, man. Yeah. Streaming, the streamers are making the most right now. Oh yeah, no, I know it. I actually did, I did a little bit of Aiden Ross. Oh nice. I went on there for a little bit. How'd that go?

It was brief, it was during the period where, first I was a little, I was opposed to it at first, but it was during a period where Adam, Adam 22. 22 and Lena and Jason thing, you know? And so they were on his stream. So the gag was for me to, you know, go on and kind of, hey, I'm next.

They're like, you know, Aiden, okay, we got somebody who's coming on right now and he's, you know, so the thing was for me to come on, Hey, listen, I'm ready. Let's do it. It never happened. You know, but, uh, but yeah. And I didn't know. Cause I didn't even know. I was like, what is this streaming thing? But now I know. Well, I will say this about Adam. He's breaking these stigmas, you know, cause he got a lot of hate on that one, but he made a ton of money. I'm sure he did. I mean, there's rumors of 5 million floating around.

No shit. Yeah. Crazy, right? Yeah. A lot of people were asking for it, but from what I know of Lena, I'm not, I think I'm a little bit too much for her. You think so? I know so.

100%. If she struggled with Jason, you might. Exactly. Yeah. You know? And I had this vision. My vision was like, yeah, listen, man. If I was to do this, I'd have them both come over, and we would shoot and have Adam there to kind of sit in it.

Because I mean, if that was the direction of like, I don't want to say, because he's not, that whole cuck thing, you know? So it's just like a funny, comedic thing in my mind, like where I was like, if this ever gets legs, and if this ever happens, that would be my vision, but it never. We'll see, don't rule it out completely.

I'm not gonna rule it out, but you know. She could train her ass like we talked about. She could train it, yeah. She could train it, shoving big things up there, you know. You don't do male-male stuff though anyways, right? Never did. So three ways off the table. You know what, when I was in the lifestyle, there was a friend of mine, a guy, and he was tall, big guy like me, and we would go and just wreak havoc together.

You know what I mean? And it was never a thing. I mean, I'm not homophobic in any way, but there are people who have said, because I haven't shot porn with another guy, like, hey, what's dreads, hang up with that. It's no hang up. I just, I've done it. I've been there, and I would rather now that I'm in a position that I'm in to just shoot just me and the girl. You know what I mean?

It almost happened, I almost shot with another guy a couple years ago, but that didn't go. What happened? You know, I was kind of on the fence about it, and the guy who was gonna do it was kind of on the fence about it. years ago, but that didn't go. What happened? I was kind of on the fence about it, and the guy who was going to do it was kind of on the fence about it. So that equaled who was going to shoot it.

In his mind, that equaled this isn't a good idea. Because I wasn't gung-ho. I was kind of like, if you really want me to, I've done it before. And the other guy was the same way, so it just didn't work out. It would probably affect the performance, right? Cause then you're in your own head. I mean, it could, but again, I mean, I've done it.

I just, I would rather, I've, my whole porn career has revolved around just me, Dread, the brand, everybody I've shot for, it's always been me being featured, you know? And so I, in my mind, felt like, you know, shooting with somebody else, I'm not gonna say I felt like it would taint it, but I was just never really up for it. I know what I mean, yeah.

Do you know how many views you're at now? It's in the billions, all right? It's gotta be something crazy. Oh, like on Pornhub? Like overall, yeah. Yeah, it's gotta be, I mean, on Pornhub, I mean, like, I think Angela White, what I shot with her was probably like 25 million views.

We won an award for that. Just on that one video? Just on that one. Holy crap. Kiss of Sins, the content I shot with her, I think is like 30 million or something crazy like that. So Pornhub, yeah, and girls, you know, they wanna put the content on there.

And I'm happy, you know, that it does as well as it does, which is cool, but yeah, I would say it's pretty much up there. That's nuts. And now certain states are banning it. Have you seen that? That's what I've been hearing. Yeah, so the views probably won't be as good

as they used to be. Probably not. I mean, I think everybody's kind of, you know, waiting on the edge of their seat to see. I think there is going to be something coming our way that content creators and sex workers are not going to like. I think it's going to happen. I don't know if, you know, to what degree,

but I think they're going to try to crack down and really go after whether it's OnlyFans or whatever. I just got a feeling something's coming. Really? Yeah. That's not good. Cause you've seen a lot in this space. So the fact that your guts telling you that.

My guts telling me something. And I don't know if it's because of, you know, like what you just mentioned, Pornhub is now like, you can't watch it in certain state. You know what I mean? So when I first saw that, I was like, oh man, you know, that's, you know, something's gonna happen. And again, I don't know what form it's gonna come in,

but I feel an attack is imminent. Damn, that's scary. Well, there's always been so much hate thrown towards the OF creators in particular. I mean, you go on any post, the comments are hating on these girls. It's actually wild. You know what, man?

I'm all, I'm pro, go do your thing. You know what I mean? If it's something that's gonna change your life for the better, why not? You know what I mean? Okay, so some people go, well, sex, and you shouldn't be doing that from a moral, screw moral.

We just got through this pandemic. People are hurting right now. And if there's a street to go down for women specifically to do better, you know, much better financially, go for it. Yeah. That's why I'm, do your thing. Absolutely.

Did you ever get hate like that? Like any hate comments or? No, man. I've never, it's always been, I mean, they love it. My fans, they, I really don't get a lot of negative, you know, I don't get a lot of negativity coming my way for anything, you know, but I see some people who do and all you can do is shake your head. Yeah. Yeah. I think as a guy it's different, right? Very much so. I mean, there are guys, I mean, myself, other guys,

big name guys who are doing really well. But for the most part, again, it's a woman's thing. It's a female's thing. Yeah, you don't film every day, you said, right? No, not every day. Never been an every day guy. I try to, ideally for me, two or three times a week is ideal. You know, give me a couple days to kind of recharge, you know what I mean?

And I'm good to go. Wow, so you're having more sex off camera then? You know something, man? I'm going to reveal, and I've revealed this before, I don't have a lot of sex off camera. What? Yeah, no, I don't. I used to be that guy, but now I'm more like with the content with what I'm shooting and I'll have sex, but it's nowhere near what people may think. Damn, okay. No, no, no, no, no. Well done, man. Well, dude, this has

been awesome. I can't wait to see what you do next. I really do think you should start a pod, dude. I think you'll crush it. You know what, man? It's something I'm going to seriously look into, give it some serious consideration. And yeah, people have told me, so I may just ride that wave and start doing it. Yeah, I mean, shout out to our mutual friend, Ryan Pownall. Ryan, yeah. He's crushing it, so.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I just was on it maybe a week or two ago. I saw that, yeah. I mean, if he can give you some guidance, I'm sure you'll kill it. Yeah, yeah, man, for sure. Well, thanks for coming on, man. I appreciate it. We'll link your it. Yeah, yeah, man, for sure. Well, thanks for coming on, man. I appreciate it.

We'll link your social media handles. Thanks for having me. Yeah, okay. My handles, that would be just Dread Triple X on X, formerly Twitter. OnlyFans, same thing, Dread Triple X. And watch out for the official Dread X website, which should be launching in early March.

Link it below. thanks for popping on. Yes sir, thank you. See you guys.
