How do you de-stress?

Funny you should ask.

One of the major reasons that I put on so much weight over the last year was related to a bout with depression, stress and hypertension.

I don't like to talk about my health issues much, because I've always figured people follow me to see hot naked men making porn. Nobody gives a shit about the negative issues in my life. Everyone has their own problems, they don't wanna hear about mine.

Last year I finally had to admit that I was having a problem. I became the lead director at Titanmen and we shifted how we produced movies, I had to make some major lifestyle changes. I used to see a trainer 3 times per week and workout every day. I had been a hardcore vegan for years...

Once my schedule changed with Titan, I wasn't able to workout much at all. Without the luxury of living at home and being able to prepare my own meals, I began to eat a lot of garbage "vegan" junk food. Fake meats, power bars, dried fruit and even sank as low as eating Oreos and potato chips (YOU try finding healthy vegan food while driving from LA to SF or living in hotels). My weight skyrocketed, my health took a nosedive, my body chemistry went through some awful changes (approaching 50 didn't help) and I became depressed and disconnected. The spiral got worse... My doctor and I tried to treat it with drugs... that only made it worse. My sleeping and activity just got worse and I got... fat. No other word for it.

I'll admit I also drank more alcohol during that period than I should have. When you get back to your hotel and just have to sit there alone and Facebook is your only interaction with humans... having a nightly cocktail seems harmless. I wasn't out of control, I don't call myself "an alcoholic," but it sure didn't help.

A few months ago I finally accepted that I could no longer be vegan if I was going to have a lifestyle of living out of a suitcase and slowly started to add animal products back into my diet. I slowly started to get more active, I did my best to get more exercise, sleep more and better...stay away from my computer and social media, read more, spend more time with my husband and dogs... My health improved, my mood seriously improved, and I'm slowly taking the weight off and feeling and looking better.

So my answer is "I started to eat meat, got more sleep, got more exercise, hired someone to run my twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages, sold my blog, read more books, listened to more music, slept more and formed more solid bonds with my family."

Well, I'm one of the more empathetic people that you'll...never meet in your entire life. You've mentioned that you've gone through some hard times, lately, so I'm sure some of us would be an open ear/set of eyes if you ever want to talk about stuff, and junk.

Are you still doing your Shut Up, Jasun episodes?

Oh I'm just fine. Have my husband and a good group of close friends but I really don't need to work through stuff. Little bruises me, my issues were all about chemical imbalances in my body. But I do appreciate it.

Anyway no... Once I sold my blog, I didn't need to create original content anymore and I barely have time to do my own work.
 
David Dirdam? Have you worked with him at Titan? Very hot. One of my favorites. Haven't seen him in a while.
 
No that was before my time. Hot guy, wish we had.

Plus his enthusiasm for getting fucked and fucking and just about everything in between always gets me hard and keeps me hard, in contrast to so many of the extraordinarily handsome Kristen Bjorn men who look about as bored as they are gorgeous.
 
Would you please explain like I'm 5 why this is done?

well.. we start at about 9AM.

Crew arrives on set (often we're staying in the same house where we're shooting but not always) and starts to set up the lighting gear, set up the cameras and set up the set itself... put chairs, boxes, benches in place... if we're shooting outside we have to put a big scrim together and suspend it over the action to dissipate sunlight or the video will look horrible.

Cast arrives about 10, we get paperwork signed, ID shots taken, I walk them through everything we'll need from them that day... I start taking still pictures for the DVD box covers, banners and promo materials while my crew continues setting up lights and preparing the cameras, drives, monitors and other gear we need.

By 11:30-12, I'm ready to shoot video. we use two cameras but I have to shoot every sexual position from 6 different angles so show off the whole action or the edited video will be boring to watch. Which means we have to get them doing everything the same three times... sometimes even four. We have to constantly adjust lights, adjust audio settings, move gear and deal with guys trying to get hard while all this action is going on around them. I also have to stop periodically to take "action stills" for the promotional packages.

Once we have a good 2 hours of video shot (on hour per camera), sometimes more, I'll usually decide we have enough for the finished scene and we then have to wait for cumshots... this means the actors who've been trying NOT to cum for 6 hours now have to make themselves cum. Some guys can just do it on order... some guys have to wait for their body to catch up with their brains so they can get turned on enough to cum...

Then we have to do our reshoots of things if we need and it takes another hour to tear down all the gear. A day that starts at 9AM often ends at 6 or 7.
 
How do you feel about Transgendered people?

was having out with two trans friends the other day. Buck Angel and Andie Mike. Honestly, I met Buck as a man... Andie has been a friend for years since she was Andy. Same person, different hair. That's really all.

I can't imagine caring about that, there are only so many people who like me, it's not like I'd want to judge the people who do like me on something so... unimportant to me and important to them.
 
Jasun - in light of your post above (#355) about a typical shooting day, would I be correct in guessing that when a model is shown cumming two or more times during a scene, that you have probably filmed the "explosions" several minutes, if not hours apart to give him time to recharge?

Often it's done the next day. Older Titanmen shoots would have two cum shots in them and would take two days to shoot. Now if we have someone cum twice.. yes, it's a few hours apart.
