Studio 2000

Damon Phoenix is soft-spoken and polite, but he fills out a pair of pants like you wouldn’t believe. His ass speaks volumes. The smile's not bad, either.

Currently a college student, Damon hopes to be an oncologist one day. His road to porn began when he needed money to buy a car, which landed him at Falcon’s door. Since then Damon has worked for several major studios, almost always as a bottom, though in his real life he is bisexual and prefers to be a top. His website is www.damonphoenix.com, but it has been offline since February due to hackers.

What’s your age, height and weight?

I’m 23, 5-foot-8, 190 lbs.

How did you get your porn name?

Damon, because I look like Matt Damon and Phoenix, because I had everything then I lost it, but somehow I gained more in the end.

What was your first porn film and what was the journey that brought you in front of the camera?

The major one would have to be Big Dick Club by Falcon. My journey that brought me to porn was to make some extra money so I could pay off a car quicker. Unfortunately, that led me to a downfall, I lost everything. This is where I picked up my last name, Phoenix.

You told me you are bisexual and that your ideal trick would be a bottom, so why don’t we see you as bisexual or as a top in your films?

I have done several bisexual movies; pairing up with Rod Barry has its quirks, LOL. As for me being a top in the films, directors always put me as a bottom because of my ass. That, and because of the money.

Do you ever film scenes for XXX websites or do you only work for movie studios? Do you escort?

Yes, I film scenes for XXX websites and yes, I do escort.

Do you have a favorite film, director, scene or costar from the films you have made? What’s the hottest sex you ever had in front of the camera?

I do not have a favorite film or scene, but I have several favorite directors. One of the most nicest people I ever met is Jett Black. Jeremy Spencer and Chad Donavan are another two I have worked with; both are wonderful directors. Unfortunately, there are no scenes I made that I consider hot sex.

Tell me in brief about the loss of your website and whether you have plans for another.

Somehow the DNS is not pointing to anything, I don't know why and I can't get ahold of the company that is providing support. Their website is also down.

What are your plans for branching out into bisexual videos? Would this be behind the camera as a director or producer, for example, or in front of the camera?

I would like to direct and work occasionally in front of the camera, but with bisexual videos I have to be patient and pick a lot of people’s brains; it’s a very hard market.

You want to be a doctor. What kind of doctor? How far along are you in your schooling right now?

I would like to become an oncologist — the study of cancer. I found it really interesting that someone lives their entire life healthy and gets cancer compared to someone that lives their life unhealthy and will never get it. I'm currently in pre-med right now.

Is doing porn a way to finance your education? Do you see it as being a liability in any way?

Porn is one of the many ways I finance my education. Education nowadays is getting expensive. I don't see porn as a liability in any way. Things are changing at an extreme pace.

Gay poet Dennis Cooper begins one of his poems with “Men are drawn to my ass …” The speaker is a young hustler. Are men (and/or women) drawn to your ass?

A lot of people are. It’s hard to find someone who knows how to develop the gluteus really well.

At this stage of your life, do you consider yourself to be relationship oriented or not?

I honestly don't know. I would love to settle down, but school takes up most of my time and on top of that many people don't like what I do for a living. That want to have sex, but not a relationship.

How does being bisexual influence the kinds of relationships or life partnerships one might form?

It really doesn't influence anything. When you are truly in love, one’s gender doesn't count in my book. A girl can be just as sweet as a guy and vice-versa; a guy can be great in bed just like a girl can. I think gender is just that, gender. If my destiny is to be with a guy, then so be it. If I'm supposed to have many babies running around my feet then so be it. I love people for who they are.
