Jesus, Porn and Gay Marriage: The Life of Rev. Bobby Blake

[Yup, aside from being one of the hottest daddies gay porn has ever seen, Bobby Blake is also a reverend! He gave a great interview about spirituality and sexuality to GayWired way back in 2007.]

Bobby’s life started out quite dramatically at birth when he was given two blood transfusions and doctors informed his parents that he probably would not live. But even as an infant he fought his way back into existence where he was later raised in a conservative Christian household.

Growing up he recalls that church was a constant in his life as his family attended multiple times throughout the week. “My parents didn’t just drop us off at the church they carried us to church.”

But it was around the age of 14 or 15 that Blake’s sexual curiosity began to awaken as he remembers entering an adult bookstore where he first viewed adult movies. He thought to himself back then “I want to try this one day.”

Eventually Bobby left the great state of Tennessee headed for Los Angeles to expand his horizons. He soon found himself working as an erotic dancer which led to his first big break. Although his moves and physique always caught the attention of many, one night while dancing at the Catch One, a friend of his noticed he seemed bored.

Blake recalls that his friend told him he knew of place where “There were fine men and hot sex going on.” Within minutes they soon found themselves attending a sex club that was being run by a black gay porn star from the mid 80’s... Paul Hanson.

“I had the time of my life… I was having a fiesta. It was amazing and shocking to Paul how I was manhandling them [men] making them groan and holler. He was impressed by my uninhibited performance with the other patrons and recommended me to some adult film producers who invited me to appear in a film they were casting, Ebony Knights.

I thought why not? I tried it, I enjoyed it. I made a big impression. So from pretty much day one I was in demand and constantly working.”


And work is exactly what he did having starred in over 100 films as the physically, sexually, and verbally dominant and aggressive manly force. And during those heyday years, Blake learned every aspect of the porno business enduring racism while collecting multi-racial fans from across the world.

Reconciling Faith, Sexuality and Porn

When asked if he has had any trouble reconciling his faith, sexuality and porn, Blake gives a longwinded but eloquent response:

“My relationship with God is personal. And when you’re in a personal relationship you don’t allow what other people think and what other people say interfere in your relationship. My favorite individual in the bible is David.

"In all of his sin and all of his doing you don’t see where he allowed third party philosophy concept to interfere with his relationship with God. So with my relationship being personal with my creator what people felt about me, it did not bother me."

I’ve always felt that way. I grew up that way. I understood that the most important element in my life, most important relationship would not be with my pastor, the members of the church, my mom, my dad... But my most important relationship would be with my creator. When it is all said and done it will be God who will make the final decision [who will] judge me according to my heart.”
