And that’s a wrap on season 3, folks! To close out the chaotic and crazy year that was 2024, eavesdrop on Adam and Cole as they catch up at the beginning of this holiday season, sharing about holiday plans, some scene work, recent creative endeavors, competition in their fields… What kind of energy do we wish to bring in to the new year? Adam’s new home and Cole’s upcoming creative redirect are two examples of how switching things up in the new year can bring some inspiration to their lives, in order to kick some old habits and jumpstart new ones. The boys pontificate on how to take better care of themselves as winter approaches, mentally, physically, and even financially, in order to ensure a fruitful and clearheaded start to the looming new year. Thank you all for listening to season 3 of Sorry For Asking, and we will be back!!

Lube up more than your nethers this time, folks. Your brain, heart, and soul could each use a good yank, as evidenced by today’s conversation with OG YouTube sensation turned holistic adult content producer, Davey Wavey. Adam and Cole dive deep into Davey’s history, growing up Catholic in Rhode Island, and falling into the early days of YouTube video diaries going viral and making coin, ultimately leading him to creating his own porn studio. After cultivating a community of followers and inviting them into the ongoing conversation of our collective queer sexual awakening and authenticity, Davey created Himeros.TV. In this episode, we get into the mission statement behind what Himeros is about, offering a different way to experience adult content that reflects a variety of physical as well as emotional and spiritual touch points. Did you know that porn could be healing? Davey had an inkling, and he turned it into something special with Himeros, an alternative to the gay erotica we are more familiar with, that may open up new avenues of how you process, consume, and enjoy erotic art, and thereby your erotic self. Adam and Davey share stories of how they met and worked together, and how working in this field has helped all three gentlemen on the path to deeper self discovery. May require a second listen, sorry not sorry!

After gushing about him at the end of our last episode, Adam and Cole give a warm in-studio welcome to the iconic emperor of trans masculine adult content and sexual healing, Viktor Belmont! In this hilarious and heady conversation, Viktor shares about his exceptionally unique experience of self-actualization, not only as a sexual healer and formidable adult content presence, but also as a trans man. Growing up in rural Oregon as a young punk rock lesbian, Viktor came to learn some things about himself before taking the transition plunge and relocating to San Francisco, where he lived modestly while developing an immediate understanding of the need to brand himself as a well-known sexual internet presence. In the days of MySpace and Tumblr, he gained a following as well as a very specific understanding of what it was he could bring to the table, not only to monetize his sexuality but also to bring some healing to clients of all kinds who could benefit from the firm hand of a trans male dom daddy. Viktor is a fascinating storyteller, so put on some headphones and fall under his captivating spell just as Adam and Cole do. Thank you Viktor, we love you, sorry not sorry!!

Hey folks, let’s catch up! Cole and Adam get together this week to discuss a busy end of summer schedule, including some recent scene work and seasonally-themed collaborations. They also get into some of their younger scene partners and ask questions about whether or not the younger generation of queer men may be desensitized to sex, given its overwhelming availability compared to twenty years ago. Adam tells stories of his excursion to this year’s Folsom Street Fair weekend in San Francisco, including a new romantic entanglement he’s been mostly quiet about. The boys also discuss how the fall season has felt especially potent surrounding the impending election, which by now will be concluded to some hopefully positive results! Cole then tells the story of his first time doing a three-way bi scene, unlocking some new avenues of his own sexual exploration, which leads to Adam sharing a new desire of his, which (spoiler alert) will lead to the guest on our next episode. Sorry, but not so sorry!

After a couple false starts, Adam and Cole finally get the chance to sit down with the legendary Reese Rideout to hear his tale. What false starts, you ask? Tune in to hear the wild story about what took so long to get Reese on the pod. Reese shares vividly about his path to gay adult film legend status, in the early days of Randy Blue all the way to his current blend of sexy and funny easily seen in his internet presence. Sexuality is a spectrum, and Reese has learned so much as he’s carved out a spot for himself in the pantheon - it helps when you have a wife who is also your business partner, scheduling scenes with other hot gay adult content creators! Reese’s story is fascinating, unique, and hilarious, but is also couched in some bouts with alcoholism and deep personal loss, as you’ll hear when he shares about losing a family member. We appreciate Reese for his candor and spirit, and it’s no wonder he’s lasted so long in this crazy industry.

Happy spooky season, listeners. To kick off the final stretch of season 3, Adam and Cole bring to the table just the dose of infectiously joyful, confident femme-dom energy in the form of iconic performer and producer, Siouxsie Q! Siouxsie is a captivating storyteller, sharing about growing up in the Bay Area and being drawn to the abundance of freak flags in San Francisco before starting out as a peep show performer. This led to many kinds of work within the adult work arena, securing on-camera appearances and eventually becoming a creator behind the scenes for a variety of studios. Grab a pen and paper, because Siouxsie brings to this discussion so many avenues of learning about how to queer desire, the beauty of fluidity in sex and romance, the capitalist perspective of adult film work, and how to utilize it to your leftist advantage, bringing a personal aesthetic to the industry (she refers to her own as Bjork Swan Dress Energy), the many types of scenes she’s had a hand in bringing to the public, and how an unexpected romance developed into the most unconventional and rewarding personal as well as professional relationship with creator, Michael Vegas. We absolutely love Siouxsie, and you will too!

Just Adam and Cole today, folks. After a last minute cancellation, the boys decide to hide from the insanity-inducing heat wave and get together to hang out and talk shop, starting with a little run down of how they feel about the upcoming elections. Then as they each catch up about their end of summer shenanigans, they begin a fun little discussion about some sexy beach stories they’ve experienced in the past. Adam busts Cole’s chops a bit about a recent favorite co-collaborator in his group scenes, which leads to Cole discussing his latest foray into the world of massage for hire. What are the rules and politics of a sexy massage? It’s a fun exchange that gets deep into body worship, the dom sub interplay of body work, and the emotional healing magic of physical connection. But we promise, our guest will come back next episode. Sorry!

All hail our first ever returning guest performer: this week the boys are joined again by Drew Valentino! Drew visits Adam and Cole this time to discuss what a difference two years make in the gay adult content industry, since the last time he was on the podcast. No longer an exclusive with the Falcon group, and seemingly less interested in making content, Drew goes in depth about what’s changed in the industry since he first joined as a wide eyed and bushy tailed performer, collecting awards and cornering the market as a scruffy, tatted, pit-loving adult film star. He shares a bit about what has led to his decision to leave Los Angeles and give an imminent move to Madrid a try for a while, leaving behind his passion for standup comedy and building a new presence in the adult film industry while also channeling his comedy into a beefed up social media presence. He also gets deep about what (or who) he will be missing most in Los Angeles, giving way to a heartfelt discussion about a very alternative relationship that can develop among the backdrop of content creation. We will miss you, Drew, but can’t wait to see you conquer Spain!

Lots of stories to tell today, folks. Adam and Cole get together for a catch up after Cole’s exciting time in Chicago for the yearly Market Days summer festival. They then take turns telling some stories, including a fun birthday pool party that led to some mischief, on as well as offline, leading to a run in with an influencer who has joined the content creation world. This leads to Adam’s observation of Cole as a "sex witch," giving way to a very funny discussion about general game play in the queer social space. What is the difference between being aggressive and assertive? What works and what doesn’t for certain men, and how do we politely turn down eager advances that are unsuccessful? What is a ‘power play?’ Find out in this hilarious episode, sorry!

We’ve got daddy fever again this week, and this time it’s because Adam and Cole are paid a visit by none other than one of the most prolific, hardworking, and evolved elders of the gay adult industry of our time, Mr Adam Russo! Adam tells stories of what it was like coming into his young gay adulthood in the 80s, during the rise and eventual height of the AIDS crisis, despite having rather supportive parents for the time. This led to a reserved sex life for a while, before he experienced his blossoming while moving across many locations in the country as he embarked on a career in art and design, before leading to his decision after age 40 to try his hand at being an escort and using adult films as his calling card to get him more work. But, as Adam states, all roads lead to where you’re meant to go, and as he steadily gained popularity, and notable longevity, as a star in the biz, he was called to being a “light worker,” leading him to his next path, which is to contribute to the collective evolution of the human race by elevating our joint spiritual consciousness. We go deep with this daddy, and it’s one heck of a ride. Love and light to you, Spirit Daddy!
