Interview with Jake Deckard

1. Why did you decide to do porn? When did you start?

You know, I damn near passed out the first time I saw my own asshole with a hand mirror...I thought I would just build on that level of excitement. I've been working naked in one way or another since I was in my early 20's.

2. What is the non-porn part of your life like?

Like a gay train wreck, but without the meth. I keep the changing things,hoping that I'll find what I'm looking for.

3. You are originally from Florida, but you have lived in New York for many years. What do you like about New York?

What do you not like? I love the fast pace, I hate that the cabbies are always trying to kill me on my motorcycle!

4. Rumor has it that you are moving to San Francisco... do you have any announcement to make?

Yep, this August me and my man are packing a van and heading west. We'll be paying our way by belly-dancing on street corners like gypsies. Hopefully we'll arrive before the trip to Hawaii!

5. Give us some porn stories! What is it like working with Raging Stallion?

So far it's been fast, easy and sleazy...just the way I like it. The sex is a bit more head on with RS, no endless hours on B-roll that's never gonna be used or even watched. I've had 2 great co-stars that worked out really well, and we were able to really go at it, and give the directors what they needed full-throttle!

6. You just filmed with Tamas Eszterhazy and with Blake Nolan. Tell us about these shoots?

I really nailed Tamas. Hard, loud and mean. The JD Slater shoot was great because Nolan is such a big ol' lug of a man, and because I couldn't find the cameras anywhere or JD anywhere. It was like we were there doing ourthing by ourselves.

7. What do you get out of porn, other than the huge salaries, of course? How is it rewarding? In other words, why do you do it?

A huge ego and bad case blue-balls. I've spent last 10 years working in a dark room one on one with massage clients, so I've had to develop a whole new set of social skills to engage the kind of people that are in the porn world. Why do it? Everyone has a bent root, this satisfies mine (for now anyway).

8. What do you look for in a costar? How do you tell ahead of time if the chemistry will work?

I really demand engagement from a co-star...I'm not talking BFF, but at least some level of camaraderie. Generally, if someone deals with their insecurities by being an asshole, it's not gonna work. That being said, I haven't run across a single person in a scene that I didn't enjoy working with.

9. What are some of your favorite porn and non-porn titles? Do you like movies in general? I do, Non-porn...I'm the guy in the back of the theater eating a jumbo popcorn, nachos and raisonettes. My name (Deckard) is taken from "BladeRunner", one of my favorites. I watch porn all the time, but my eye is more critical now. I like really gonzo stuff, some Titan, and I've loved RS titles for years. I've started to watch Collin O'Neals website lately, very hot. How does he get some of the guys to take off their clothes?

10. You have a dog-tell us about that!

Yeah, he's a small, quite family member. I love him.

11. What are your future plans? What are your long-term goals both within and outside the industry?

I've got this magazine idea that I'm working on, and I've got a few scripts for videos I've been knocking around. I'm game for anything, as long as I'm paying my bills and having a good time doing it!
