A Chat With David Benjamin...




Bryce: Hey David, So your represented by Ducati Models. How is that? They looking after you?
DB:  Hey, yes Ducati Models founded by Trenton Ducati and his business partner Michael Youens has done a wonderful job by me, they are as much agents as well as friends and mentors, they have helped me make good, smart decisions not only for my career but also for my health and wellbeing. They have done an amazing job because the simple truth is I’m incredibly high maintenance, no, I mean in all honesty I’m a bundle of nerves 90% of the time and they do a wonderful job of helping me navigate that.

Bryce: You’re a bundle of nerves? But you don’t seem it
DB:  Well you know, simply because a ducks swimming peacefully on a pond, doesn’t mean that below the surface it’s little legs aren’t going a mile a minute. (Both Laugh)

Bryce: So the first scene you shot was with Hot House titled Trunks 8? How was that?
DB: As it was my very first shoot, I brought my nerves and inexperience to the table and still questioning in my head if I wanted to go through with it. The shoot took 8 days due to scheduling issues to complete. However, in the end I got to shoot my first scene with Mitch Vaughn  and it was an incredible experience. (EXCITEMENT IN HIS VOICE)
 It was everything I thought it would be, it was exciting and interesting. You know all the stuff models complain about, I experienced it all and was thrilled! The only thing that gave me pause was the cumshot, it was the end of the day, the sun began to go down, Mitch had shot already and it was just me. We were losing the sun and I could hear the production team calling out “ 5 minutes, 4, 3, and it was freaking me out! Fortunately I shot my load and the sun ducked behind the mountains. Talk about pressure!

Bryce: So you’ve told your family? How did that go?
(At this point I get up and David questions if I’m wearing underwear while doing this interview or if im nude from the waist down , im a professional I had underwear on, I like to be comfortable while im interviewing… Sorry to disappoint).
DB: I was chosen to be on the cover of Grab magazine, an LGBT magazine in Chicago. Knowing I have a lot of family and friends in Chicago I thought I owed it to my family to tell them.

The Answers…
Brother #1: “I wish I did porn”
Brother #2: “Dude that’s every guys fanstasy”
My mom had the best respsone… completely nonplussed by the announcement she asked  “So how much do you make?”. There was no lecture, scorn or judgement I’m incredibly lucky.

Bryce: So you’ve shot 8 scenes at the moment, you all settled in? How’s the experience?

DB: It’s frankly a dream come true, it’s an incredibly validating experience to have a dream  and go out and make it happen. Fortunately i’ve had help along the way but the fact I’m doing something I enjoy makes it that much more special.  

Bryce: I’m guessing you have accumulated a lot of fans now? What is the response when they see you? Do they turn to shit and can’t even look at you or do they want to just jump on you?

DB: (Laughs) You really want to know what most peoples first reaction …  “You’re better looking in person!”.  When I meet fans, honestly a lot of them are very nervous, they  also have expectations of who I am and what I’m going to be in real life as well as expecations of how I’m going to perceive them. The truth is that fans are the reason I’m able to have the life I have today, without their support and interest I wouldn’t be able to do what I do so I’m incredibly grateful when I meet them.

Bryce: How was it to step off the newcomer train and land straight on to the falcon studios exclusive model platform?

DB: It’s amazing! Being associated with the most respected name in gay porn was something I wanted to be able to do, as someone more mature getting into it I had a lot of questions about wether there would be an appetite for someone like me (Oh David, there is).  So being asked to help represent Falcon was incredibly validating, In fact I said yes before they put out a figure. Fortunately Falcon takes care of their own and are known for being good to their models.

Bryce: You recently returned home from your first Hustlaball live show in New York, tell me all! 

DB: Live sex, personally for me is a fantasy of mine, I love performing in front of people, I love groups and crowds, this is very exciting for me. Hundreds of people were crammed into this New York City club all pressing towards the stage pushing for a better view . I was teamed with Brian Bonds and we did a fisting show. After I got to meet other model, get interviewed on the red carpet, to have the opportunity to engage and interact with other models was wonderful as we dont get to do the chance outside of these events.

Bryce: A big question I like to put to people and if you listened to my radio show over the summer I asked a lot of models, what’s your stance on shooting bareback porn,  as a newcomers opinion I’m interested in  seeing if  that may be a chosen path later on?

DB: Never say never but currently I have no interest in shooting bareback porn.  In general, I believe that barebacking is here to stay, so it is the responsibility of studios that produce bareback content to do so responsibly. None oif the ‘Viral Load’ ‘Bug- Chaser’ crap. That not only promotes unhealthy behaviour but stigmatizes men living with HIV.

Bryce: That was a very “Miss World” answer.
(He begins to take the piss and joke around giving typical Miss World comments)


Bryce: Who is your porn fantasy?
DB: Remember I’m a little bit older, so I grew up idolizing Al Parker & Kent Ryker. As for my personal preference in men, I am drawn towards confident, masculine men like Ricky Sinz and Jake Deckard. I would also like to work with Boomer Banks and Rocco Steel, both are known for their gigantic cocks.

Bryce: Now, you have been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Cybersocket Awards how do you feel about going up against the other nominees?
DB: Its an honor to be nominated (He says with a sly grin on his face)
Bryce: Do you think you’re going to win?
DB:  I would say I have a very good chance of winning, that being said, ultimately it’s a gay verison of the peoples choice award it’s about us as nominees being able to turn out people to actually vote… I’ve been very open about my campaigning, this is the first vote award I have ever been nominated for and I’ve been very transparent about my desire to win.  
(We then break for 5 minutes as I need a piss and David needs to smoke)
