More About This Book

Overview

My Life in Porn: The Bobby Blake Story charts the adult film superstar's meteoric rise to fame and offers a fascinating, funny, and sometimes disturbing insider's portrait of the adult entertainment industry. It is also a story of one man's spiritual struggle, the quest for a meaningful life, for love, and the need for community.

As the most celebrated black gay porn star in the business, Bobby Blake has seen and been through it all. From his roots as a bisexual black male in the Deep South dealing with a troubled mother, criminal brother, an absentee father, and his own life-threatening health problems, to his early experiences in the porn industry where drugs, racism, and other obstacles presented constant challenges, Blake has come through the other side as exactly the man he wants to be.

In his tale of a man who went from preacher to porn star and back into the ministry, of sex workers balancing "normal" romantic relationships, the self-destructive behavior of many of his peers, and more, Blake offers a fresh and unique account of his life and a highly revealing behind-the-scenes picture of the adult film industry. It is a rough ride at times, but an unquestionably exciting one!

    Tried my best to be patient ...

    But the poor writing has given me real headache.
    Sorry Bobby, I don't see your story making you anything better than a lust chasing dog. Writing this book would have been your mistake,but actually purchased and even reading it would be even a worse one.
