HOOK: E-zine By, For, and About Men in the Sex Industry

As part of promoting Will Clark’s wonderful Bad Boys Pool Party to benefit L.A. Shanti, HOOK sought out to interview some of his porn star guests to get the down low on this event. In scoring the undeniably sweet Bret Wolfe to do the interview, we found a porn star who is out to make these sex icons more human than not, to keep it real in a way that Ms. Lopez may only claim to be doing.

HOOK chatted with Bret online (he was very punctual with our scheduled time…so much for Gay Standard Time, huh?) about the Pool Party, monogamy, and his artistic side—among other things—and quickly discovered how down to earth a porn star can be. And in keeping with Bret’s un-pretentious genuineness, HOOK leaves you with this minimally edited interview, all for your natural, acoustic consumption….

HOOK: Hi Bret.

Bret Wolfe: Hey, how are you doing?

HOOK: Could be better...damn “work” and damn “job”. Yourself?

BW: Doing well...been working most of the morning...taking care of some buisness. See already started in with the bad spelling.

HOOK: lol…no worries. I will take care of that...spelling is ova rated anywayz...the only people who reelly need to spel r 5th graiders in the National Spelling Bee :)

BW: Do you know how I change my settings so that all these bitches stop IM’ing me :)

HOOK: just say this, “BITCH, STOP YO IM’ing!”

BW: LOL (laugh out loud)

HOOK: to each individual one so they can...you know...feel special

BW: But of course

HOOK: alright...tell me when you are ready for me?

BW: Ok...one sec :) [minutes pass]

HOOK: okay...that second was WAY over a long time ago

BW: LOL...I am manually blocking all of these “friends”

HOOK: that is a little more passive aggressive...but that will do... k, just tell me when

BW: Ok...Lets get this party started.

HOOK: whoah...what a large...FONT you have....So first off, tell our readers what is the first thing you do in the morning? :)

BW: I could say the obligatory thing...piss or jack off…but in reality I turn on Regis and Kelly...pretend Regis has something interesting to say (Kelly did save that show) and then play with my pussies...I have four cats...stop thinking those nasty thoughts.

HOOK: I ONLY have nasty thoughts...lol

BW: As do I, but they don’t go hand in hand with Kelly Ripa...or Regis

HOOK: Regis is a form of biological warfare as far as I am concerned...

BW: A hold over from the cold war

HOOK: (laughs) Now how did you get involved with Will’s Bad Boys Pool Party?

BW: I am an event coordinator and event producer in “real life”...Will knew this. I think this year he wanted to take some of the pressure off himself...take a break...so he decided to create a team to help him. I guess he felt that I was appropriate for this and contacted me. I love the event and I love the charity. It felt like the natural thing to do. Plus Will is just a great guy...How could I say no?

HOOK: So this is your first time you’ve been at the Party?

BW: This is my first time involved in the Party...I attended the Palm Springs BBPP. I had the time of my life!

HOOK: That’s quite a statement! How would describe the event?

BW: It’s a chance for fans of gay adult cinema (PORN...Fuck yeah man) to meet, greet, and play with some of their favorite stars...autograph sessions, pictures, drinks, food, naked men...bad behavior...all in the name of charity...so God can’t strike you dead...you’re there for a good cause. It’s a full blast party. You never quite forget the day.

HOOK: How naughty does it get? How naughty do YOU get?

BW: LOL...Because it is in the name of charity...and we are there to promote a message of safe sex...there are some limits. But trust me, you still get quite an eyeful...I am always a bit of a “flirt” - nice way of saying “whore” :)

HOOK: Of course there is nothing wrong with being a whore! Particularly if one is a whore for a good cause, right?

BW: Exactly...Jesus hung with whores right? See we are loved! And we are doing God’s work here...giving back to our communities

HOOK: exactly…so I took a peek at your column on cockring.org

BW: Did ya like it?

HOOK: oh yes...you are articulate and speak honestly about your ideas about relationships…are you still with “Billy?”

BW: LOL...read next month’s column…no...some people never change. The porn was not the issue. He still has the same unresolved shit he did back then. I wanted too much. I assume that people change. They never really do. He will be a good friend.

BW: But in that time, I did meet someone new :)

HOOK: So will you divulge a little about him? Is he in the industry as well?

BW: Yes he is...I have learned the second you put a name in the press, it’s over...so this time no names yet...but yes he is :) He will be at the Party. Just take a look at who I am kissing ;)

HOOK: How long have you two been together though?

BW: A few weeks....and we are just dating...no labels yet...but he is great guy

HOOK: Well I am happy for you!

BW: He makes my heart smile...LOL...I should be writing greeting cards. I believe that commitment and true monogamy live in ones heart...to define it only by sexual activity is dense as all hell...that can be a difficult concept to express to someone

HOOK: So monogamy is really an emotional monogamy for you

BW: Yeah...most definitely. There is this preconceived notion that we [porn stars] are all these fucked up, damaged souls who are crying out for attention because we are in so much pain...LOL...as if. Sure, as with all people and industries, that exists...but most of us are just good, bright, capable, emotionally and spiritually-rounded people who love and live just like the guy/girl next door. We are just in touch with our sexuality in a different way…We express it in a different way...I call it an embrace. There is no battle. Well, there is to some extent...but that’s from the outside world...not from us.

HOOK: Why did you start writing your column?

BW: About a month ago, Will Clark asked me if it was something I would be interested in doing. He had a spot on cockring.org available for a column. I had just stopped dating Matt Sizemore, who writes a fantastic column as well; I witnessed first hand what an incredible release it gave him. I was always a writer—Creative Writing minor here—and thought that it was this wonderful opportunity to demystify porn stars and bring them to a human level...as well as allow me to express and extend my thought and notions to the public. It is an amazing outlet. I felt great when I sent it [the first column] off...a feeling of accomplishment that extends beyond the completion of writing. This job allows for all kinds of release :)

HOOK: True true...hehe...now sexworkers/writers have always been an interest of mine...I am a writer as is HOOK’s Editor...are you a poet?

BW: Ahhh...I wish. No, I must admit that poetry and songwriting completely escape me. I love words...But I can’t ever seem to express what I feel in the language of poetry. I am so much more upfront with my words. No hidden meanings. No subtext. I am one for straightforwardness. It’s always been a frustration...I am a singer...but I can’t write...in these times that seems to mean you lack the talent.

HOOK: I take it you write prose or fiction…

BW: I LOVE fiction. I love the creative process of establishing these people...creating these charters that you want to be real...that you love and identify with…

HOOK: Well, I LOVE the “hidden” talents of porn stars! So you are a singer? with a trained voice?

BW: I was in musical theater and on stage for most of my younger years...from 12 to 21

HOOK: Did you go to college for it as well?

BW: No, Theatre History actually

HOOK: So I take you haven’t been showcasing your voice in a theatre in a while, huh?

BW: LOL...Much to the delight of many an ear I am sure...Get me drunk and I start belting the tunes :) I would love to do a musical porn...LOL. Colton Ford and I both sing...and there has been talk of a project for us...we shall see

HOOK: grand...I’d watch...maybe even offer in writing the libretto...

BW: You just want to feel the libretto...

HOOK: LOL. perhaps....<grin>

BW: As long as you “score” it, right?

HOOK: nah...I don’t like the casting couch...haha

BW: Tasting Couch is a better start

HOOK: So Bret, I wanna turn the tables and let you be in the drivers seat of this interview...what do you wanna talk about? more art? more sex? more relationship talk? more about this musical that I could very well do...

BW: I must admit I am open to any line of questioning...What do the readers want to hear? Chad Hunt fucking the shit out of me..or we could discuss the benefits of the Free Trade Agreement…

HOOK: Sex it is! Well you seem to have an affinity to [porn star] Michael Brandon...why him?

BW: He is one of the few I have an affinity for...Michael is just a great guy. It really comes down to that...Obviously he possess many a talent that I love. But his person is so kind and real. It amazes me. He has a great heart

HOOK: You escort as well, correct?

HOOK: Was that a kind of natural extension of doing porn or did you escort first?

BW: For me...Natural Extension...I never escorted prior to getting into the porn industry. It became a way for me to relate to my fans and allow them to live their fantasies…the people in the videos can become a reality.

HOOK: You like to satisfy…

BW: Always... :)

HOOK: A good trait for a pig bottom such as yourself

BW: And I do love being a bottom :)

HOOK: I am sure your fans love that you love being a bottom as well...Well is there anything you want to say, any tips you would give for those who want to be in the porn or escort business?

BW: It’s not what you expect.... It’s not all sex and glamour. Yeah, the sex is great and the guys are hot, but it's also a business. And you have to treat it as such, especially if you want longevity.

HOOK: Is it a business you see yourself being in any much longer?

BW: Yes...I feel very comfortable in this industry and I see so much opportunity and potential down the road. I want to produce and direct...Hopefully the modeling can open those doors. I don’t plan on retiring 8 times...

HOOK: (laughs) Well I think we can wrap up this interview now...I suspect I could keep on chatting on and on…you are very articulate and seem very down to earth
