I don't think you will find my experience as exciting as the scenes made it look. All the scenes I shot were completed in three visits that I made to Brian's. Each visit was for a week, the first time I went it was just Brent, Brian, and myself and we shot the Naughty Boy's toy scene, which was probably the most difficult one I shot. Another model had flaked on coming out, and so this was a made up on the spot scene that neither one of us wanted to do because it just seemed so ridicuous, but did it anyway. We also shot another scene of us in a hot tub, which was planned to be released on the next DVD after Bitch Boy. Needless to say it was never released, and as far as I know the only copy burned in the fire.
The second time I flew out there, there was about 7 to 8 other models there and something like 15 scenes were shot total for everyone that week. All of my other scenes except one were shot during this time...so with, Nate, Tyler, and Shaun. And on my final visit it was just Cody, Brian, and myself for the final scene I shot. I used to be in contact with all of them, but over the years lost contact with Nate and Shaun.
Most other companies out there are about mass producing scenes, and models are flown in and a scene is shot...sometimes over the course of 8 or more hours and the models are flown back often times the same day. Cobra was different in that Brian wanted us to actually build chemistry with one another. So I would be flown out there and just hang out with my scene partner for a few days with a very strict no sex rule and get to know them. You already knew that eventually you would be having sex with the person, so it was super easy to build chemistry with the person already knowing where it was going to lead. And by the time the scene was ready to be shot, I had grown to really like my scene partners and so that is what I feel made the scenes seem more "natural" because I genuinely had feelings for the guys by the time it was time to shoot the scenes.
Many people think the industry is full of drug addicts (and this is true for many companies), but I never saw anyone using drugs of any kind in all the trips I made out there. With the exception of alcohol, but I was over 21 at the time of my first shoot. And as far as "sex with the producer" goes...I was never made to feel like I had to, nor did I ever have sex with Brian. Sure he was flirty and touchy, but he was a guy in his late 40s surrounded by beautiful boys (most barely 18), who wouldn't be. And as for the bareback controversy that everyone always talks about. At the time of my first shoot I was 23...I knew what HIV was and how it is contracted, and so did all the other models. No one was "coerced" into anything. We fully knew and understood the risks we were taking, and signed contracts saying we did. I was tested every single month by contract from my first shoot to my last over the course of a year and a half, and I was under the impression the other models were as well. Also right before the scenes we were tested on the spot as another measure for our safety. Yes, this leaves room for error, again we were fully aware of that margin and if we didn't want to do anything we didn't have to. As far as I know, no one contracted any STDs as a direct result of the video shoots, I know I didn't. At the same time, I do not condone unsafe sex practices and always practice safe sex myself. This was situational, like if you and your partner were to go and get tested together and find out that you are both clean...that's how it felt to me anyway.
Lol see I kind of took all the mystery out it all and ruined for you right? I wish I could tell you it was all just how you see it in the scenes and that its one big sex party...but the way Cobra was ran, the only sex that was happening was going to be on camera because it made it more meaningful I guess. And to a degree this is true because we all were so sexually frustrated by the time the camera started rolling, there wasn't really any need to act or pretend, it all just happened.
I never met the "monster" that Brian Kocis is made out to be by some, but I also know others had completely different experiences with him than I did. I was older than most of the models, and so I stood my ground with him on a lot of stuff, and we had great respect for each other. Some of my scene partners now say they regret ever doing it because now the scenes are on basically every site imaginable, and at the time we were told this would never happen because of copyright laws. No one expected Brian to be murdered, and as a direct result there was no one to stop the scenes from popping up everywhere. I got a college degree out of my time, so I don't regret it, but its something that happened so long ago in my past, I don't even think about it anymore. That is until I'm recognized, and most assume Im still in the industry because I look the exact same (its scary lol) even though the scenes were shot 7 years ago.
I never had a desire to be a porn star, and even now feel weird identifying myself as one, because I needed money for school. And the money I earned paid for my last 2 years of college, I graduated and was asked to come back and do more scenes and I declined. Im a totally different person now than I was then, but I did meet some amazing people that I still call great friends to this day. In that aspect it was all worth it, but overall my advice to anyone thinking of going into this area of employment is to be absolutely sure that it is something you want to do. There are a lot of sketchy people and companies out there that could care less about your well-being and safety. Luckily, Cobra Video was never like that.

Cameron,thank you for sharing your experiences with us and giving us an idea of what it is like to work in porn both in front of the camera and off it.
Also,your story should point out a hard truth about porn. No matter how small you think the company is or how hidden you think your scenes will be,the cold hard truth is most of the time,it will come out one way or another.

Thanks for all the insights! Apart from the fact that the camera work, editing & sound of many Cobra movies is simply superior to most of the releases from other companies (icluding big names & major brands like Bel Ami Falcon, Cadinot & Co.) of past and present, this 'hanging around together with your film partners for a few days before the shooting' seems to be a key contribution to the naturalness & hotness of many Cobra acts and pairings on screen.
That's a pity. Was it a flip-flop of you and BC ? A restored master tape might be worth a small fortune today. Especially since the Corrigan scenes with other partners done by different directors after 2006 are not so enduring & passionate as his earlier work.
Well, that's life. And as long as you are not nominated for the Noble Price or comparable important awards one day - you will share the destinies of many other skilled academics with a certain past: and your porn reputation will always outshine your scientific merits.
So, it is perhaps best to accept your popularity. And why not a lucent comeback in the biz ? . Then, cult status is nearly guaranteed. And maybe you might even get a gratis grave of honor later - like some other respectable male models of the past...

Northwestern is every bit as good as Cornell, the weakest of the Ivies.

Cameron, it was wonderful of you to chime in and share your experiences with us!
There's only one big 10 school in greater Chicago so congrats to you! I'm assuming that your Northwestern degree has put you in a position where you no longer have to do porn (though in this economy that may be a rash assumption). I'm glad to hear that you're still in touch with Sean, who has also left porn. Perhaps the two of you can write a screenplay about your experience.
I remember reading in the Rolling Stone article that one of the other Cobra models went to Cornell.

A few curious questions more:
Did Mr. Kocis suggest or select the scene partners for you? Or did you have the free choice out of all the boys in the Cobra stable available in these days ?
Nothing against Corrigan & Cody. Though, my first pick would have been probably Connor Asthon, Lance Evans & Sammy Paris as proper bottoms. Since Armon Maderas has already retired in 2003... .

Wow Cameron here? I just have to say your scenes are some of the hottest I've ever seen. Thanks for that insight into the industry you were in. It does sound like the taking time for the actors to get to know each other payed off.
thanks for the info...knew that name ("paul pratt") & it never clicked because in his recent stuff he doesn't look anything like "aaron" with the long hair & buff bod...but he kinda looks like "aaron" in some of his older stuff...would've thought that after the murder & trial he would've gotten out of porn...but who knows? would like to know for sure because I really liked his look...and his cock's look

Cameron, as a longtime Cobra fan, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I don't suppose there's any way for us to convince you to come out of retirement just...one...more...time?
