Current mood:  contemplative
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
I just finished a 10 day trip away from home. I've been to Las Vegas, Chicago, and then New York City. I'm finally heading home to LA and I am very happy about that. The trip was good, but it's even nicer to be going home.

There have been a lot of things on my mind lately. I just shot a video for Hot House and another one for Jett Black, but despite that I've been debating about possibly 'retiring' at the end of this year. In some ways, I'm just now starting to get known. But in others, I'm wondering if it's taking a toll on my life. Everything I've done has been a choice that I've made, but I'm starting to think that it may be time to move towards something else.

Now, for those of you who don't know, I do have a daytime job which I truly enjoy. I do marketing, something I've done for years, long before porn, and which I am not only good at but I have my MBA in marketing. Now that doesn't mean I need to, or even want to, stay in that field forever, but for the near future it's what I plan to do. The porn has been fun much of the time, but at the same time, I think its limited me in some ways, particularly in finding a relationship.

I have to be frank, many guys love the idea of fucking a pornstar but many couldn't imagine dating one. We're not 'mother friendly' so to speak. And while there are those who might consider 'dating' a pornstar for a while, the reality is that many guys, even those that are comfortable with it being something in your past, don't necessarily want someone who is actively doing porn. Now I could argue that it's just work, which it is, but that doesn't change the way someone feels. So unless I want to date someone else in porn, my options seem someone limited. I would certainly consider dating someone in porn, but with such a small group of people out there who do that, it's much harder to come by. And unless they have someone else going on for themselves, I also find I have little in common with them. So, for all those reasons, and more, I feel like my side job is preventing me from having a full-on relationship. Add into the mix that I travel a lot and meeting people becomes another big issue. It's hard to meet and date someone when you're gone 2-3 weekends out of the month.

For those of you who care, done worry, I haven't decided to give it all up yet, but it's definitely been on my mind a lot, and I'm sure will be for some time. I have several trips planned in the next few weeks, so nothing is likely to change anytime soon, but if you know of someone hot and porn friendly….pass him my way. ;)

Adam,
I understand what you're saying and if I could do ANYTHING to help you I would. Good luck with everything and if you ever feel the need to chat with me further, send me a message. I am probably one of the nicest people out there.


xoxo,
Mercedes

Hey Adam, do what is in your heart. perosnally, I love your vids and would love to see you saty in. But as a semi-romantic, follow your heart. Your heart will break, but it can also give you great strength and warmth.

If you feel the draw away from the industry, I say do it. I know quite a number of guys who did it for awhile, moved on to another completely different industry and found happiness. But go when you are ready to, and for yourself - not for others.

I guess I have been living in LA for too long (12 years) but nothing fazes me anymore. I would definitely date someone from the porn world if they were truly a "match" for me.

I've had several dates with a few stars of porn past and present, and they didn't work out because of the porn per se, they didn't work out because the guys themselves just didn't have much to offer me... in the ways of personality. I am sure you know the type because you work with them... a lot of the guys are shut off emotionally and haven't had to use their brains much in their lives so they have nothing to say. I'm the kind of guy who needs to be challenged in conversation and thinking, as well as in bed and fucking. :o)

And if you can handle THIS, I live in Weho. *wink*

I'm sure that whatever you decide to do in your future, will be the best for you. As long as you are fully sure of what you are doing and that you will feel comfortable making this change (if any).
I'm sure it will be a bit hard - since like you said "I'm just starting to get known"; but don't let that stop you if you really feel the need to make a change in your life. I'm sure you will still have your fans out there in one way or another.
Good luck and the best on my wishes for whatever decision you make........

I've always appreciated the more edgy roles you've taken in your films and it'd be sad to see you go. You should ask questions as: Do I enjoy porn anymore? Does it harm my marketing job and the goals? Is it worth my time? Abadoning porn for portential dates is a tricky issue.

It's a harsh reality that gay guys don't want to date pornstars but wanna fuck them. But any potential dates you have will eventually find out about your porn career. If youj porn career bothers him, youj porn past will likely bother him just as much. A considerate partner would discuss with you his issues with porn and then should you consider retiring based on a mutual decision.

One: I had no idea you were a porn star. I must not have been paying attention.
Two: I had no idea you were here in Chicago.
Three: Let me know when you are back this way and I'll introduce you to some guys who don't give a shit.

XO,AK

Adam, I think it means a lot that you're realizing YOURSELF that maybe it's time to retire. Porn doesn't last forever, and it's tough to turn it into a living for an extended period of time. You surely have a huge fanbase, and are indeed just starting to gain momentum as a reliable and in-demand performer, but if you aren't enjoying it and it's affecting your personal life, it's time to throw in the towel. We'll all miss you, but if you decide to retire "Adam" by year's end, you've left behind an incredible catalog of work. And please leave your MySpace up, like Trevor Knight and others, so your fans can still keep in touch and see how your dating life goes. We're all rooting for you, my man!

And you're right, dating another porn star is not necessarily a good idea. I can't think of any examples of working porn stars who are still together (except for Colton Ford and Blake Harper, who wisely retired when they wanted to do something more with their life).

I don't really keep up with todays porn scene, and I would never think to judge anyone. I do understand what your saying. If I had a hope of dating you with a possiblity of a relationship I would have no problem at all with it. In fact I would consider myself lucky you would even give me a second look. It is hard in a small area like the area I live in and being gay. I always say there are three things gay men are looking for here:
1. Pretty young or handsome young.
2. Money
3. A big dick
Unfortunaly I have not been blessed with any of these just a average joe here. I still haven't given up on finding love, and yes I know if I left here my chances might be improved. I have family commitments right now when those have gone I will be free to perhaps move if I still feel the need. I am trying to say I know someone who seems to have it together will have no problem getting a lover. I know there is someone out there who understands it is just a job and does not make up the person you are. Maybe you need to broaden your idea of what this man is like yourself. You could be overlooking him for whatever reason. You never know...look at your friends, the people you associate with are they all the same type? If so you could be right and you may not find him. Especially if they have this I wouldn't date a porn star attitude, but they want to be your friend? Sort of like fucking a porn star isn't it.

What can I say but that you need to follow your own happiness. No job and or career is worth any amount of money or fame if you're misserable.

WOW, I will have to say this is by far the most interesting blog I have stumbled on; Anyway my day off today, and I don't normally spend tons of time on MySpace but I figured ill bounce around reading blogs.
So I was reading blogs, and chatting with my best friend Jeremy on yahoo messenger, and he goes, "OMG you have to read this blog!" sends me the link, and here I am leaving you a comment.

ANYHOO, Edwin here just sayin’ “Hi”, and this by far the most enthralling blog I’ve ever read.

also id like to add im in a relationship shaking and broken most of the time but good, im only 23 and there are prolly better ppl to comment on the subject other than myself but, i think the trick is to really know what you want (thats prolly the easy part), the hard part is knowing that when you see it. we are who we are, my best friend Jay always told me.. the guy i love doesnt need to be an angel as long as he has wings ( that doesnt really make sense to me but it always made me feel better).

I too find this a very interesting blog you wrote, and sure everyone wants to be a porn star and it can be fun for awhile - but you obviously have a deeper (no pun intended) interest for your life than being 'oh that guy who did porn' in 10 years, or even next year ... do it until you are not having a good time anymore, and then walk away as a stage in life like all others. A job to me is like a bad relationship - if it's lost there are always new opportunities for self happiness and more. Doing porn is a fun 'job' - a new job and looking back satisfied rather than waiting until you dislike that 'era' of life is better - when is up to you. Jason. X

Hey Adam,
You are such a sweet man, with loads to offer someone in a relationship- just remember that only you know what your limits are and what is trully holding you back, be it choice of career or fear of letting go of the "norm"

Dear friend,

I think it is not always easy to find someone who will accept you as who you are and love you for it. However, it does not mean you will never meet one in your life. Maybe it will come unexpectedly when you are least want it. Most of times, we come out empty handed because we are totally bonded on the idea of having one instead of nurturing one.

Your fame may blind people to " see you" sometimes but I think it they take time, they will pass that and start to know what kind of person you are.

Best luck on everything in your life

just read your post - its been half a year since you posted it, so maybe your situation changed already... if not: don´t give up! things do take time to develop... :-)

and, after all: everything that happens to you, will be good for you - even though it sometimes takes years to find out...

all the best from berlin,
sebastian
