I'm excited and honored that
Diversity Rules Magazine has published the first part of an interview I did with them. You guys ask me questions about how I got into the porn industry and what it's like, my views on bareback sex in porn, and other pretty intense subjects and I tackled a few of them in this interview. I've reprinted the first part of the interview below and the second part will be published in next month's
Diversity Rules Magazine. Please stop by their website by

RE: Historically it has been rare for a star to remain in the industry
after age 30 or longer than 18 months. You started your porn career
around age 42, seven years later your career is still going strong.
What is the secret to your longevity in the industry?
NM: No one is more surprised at the success or longevity I’ve had in the
porn industry than I am. Now that I’m a couple of months away from my
50th birthday I ask myself frequently, “How the heck did I get here and
why are people still interested in me?” I never actively sought out work
in the porn industry. It just kinda happened. I’m not an exhibitionist,
or a voyeur, and I when I started in porn I was relatively sexually
inexperienced.
Up until that time I had had one
3-way that was kind of a disaster due to my overwhelming nerves, and I
had never been to a sex club or sex party. The first big movie I did,
“Link: The Evolution”, won all the awards that year and got me tons of
attention and porn work. Unfortunately, I was no where near being ready
for that. I freaked out and backed out of a couple of commitments. I was
done with porn. I just felt that everything I was doing wasn’t good
enough. Everyone was younger than me and everyone seemed so confident.
After
a break I was approached by Steven Scarborough from Hot House and he
persuaded me to give porn another shot. He and Brent were so caring and
made me so comfortable, even though I was still nervous as hell.
From
that point on, I didn’t beat myself up about my performance and
observed everything everyone was doing around me... the lighting guy,
cameraman, photographer, director and the all models... and I asked
questions about everything. Then I did the start-up shoot for Bound Gods
and found BDSM. Never knew I would totally get off on being a Dom, but I
did... and I do. I was one of the lead models at Kink.com for many
years and, again, I learned everything I could during the shoots. When
the opportunity to direct for them came up I jumped at it. A few years
later and I am now directing full time for Factory Videos Inc. I’m
also directing scenes for Dark Alley Media and they just released the
series of “fetish” scenes I directed for Treasure Island Media. And I’m
still performing frequently for many companies.
So
I guess if I had to explain my longevity it would be a combination of
things. First, not really wanting to do porn in the first place and not
having dreams of becoming a porn “star”. Second, I keep evolving within
the industry as opportunities present themselves. My evolution in front
of the camera has gone from “almost pretty boy porn model”, to heavy
duty “Dom”, to Bear and Daddy.
Then I expanded
and got behind the camera as Director, Cameraman and Editor. Who knows
what’s next? Next, coming from a very stable work background and having a
very strong work ethic also helps me survive in the industry. I worked
in corporate America as an Art Director for about 25 years before I made
the switch to full-time porn. I see porn as my job, not as a measure of
my self worth but as a job.
One that I take
very, very seriously. Finally, the feedback I get from my fans is really
amazing and inspires me to keep growing in the industry. Although there
are some nasty people out there who send hateful messages, I have to
say that the overwhelming majority of messages I get are from people
thanking me for doing what I do. For doing what they only dream about
doing but will most likely never be able to.
For
staying “real” and not feeding into the hype that performing in porn
actually makes you more important than anyone else. I’ve been blessed
for the opportunities I’ve been given and I thank God every day.

RE: You directed Treasure Island Media’s recently released “Damaged
Goods”. This movie has people talking about how rough the scenes are.
What was the inspiration for some of the acts in this movie?
NM: My inspiration for the rough scenes in Treasure Island Media’s “Damaged
Goods” was all of the feedback that I got from viewers while I worked
at Kink.com. It’s not just that the interactions are very aggressive,
and sometimes brutally so. It’s that these are men are really into the
kink that they are doing. You can really see that when you watch the
finished product. It’s not... take pretty porn models who are not into
BDSM, dress them up in fetish gear, give them a 5 minute flogger lesson,
yell at them about how to act, stick in some disconnected, vanilla sex,
and then edit it so that it’s all real pretty.
This
is real men doing the things that turn them on, and it’s hot,
connected, bareback sex. There really is nothing else out there like it.
The
evil, sadistic smile on Anotonio Biaggi’s face while he is dripping hot
candle wax on Patrick O’Connor’s dick can not be faked. The scene where
Brad McGuire and I beat Rowdy McBeal senseless as he begs for more is
probably the most controversial scene in the movie. We brutally fuck
Rowdy’s face and ass and leave him broken, bleeding and totally
satiated. At one point Brad was pounding the boys ass as hard as he
could while I was fucking his throat. I increased the pressure of my arm
around his throat and started to choke him out. I’ve never seen this
captured on film before and watching it gives me chills. Rowdy goes from
a state of panic, to an eerily tranquil lights-out moment that is
shattered by a back-to-life gasp. This abuse was like a drug to him and
Brad and I fed off the high he was getting from it. Rowdy was my
boyfriend at the time and I was absolutely sure he was totally into it
before we did the scene. Real life hardcore players in extreme scenes
with hot bareback sex... that’s what the viewers asked for, and that’s
what I gave them.
