[Earlier today, Raging Stallion announced that Jake Genesis had signed to be an exclusive model with the studio and would become the “face” of the company. (You can read all about the announcement here.) I asked Jake to give us some insight into what the last few months has been like for him and what the future holds with his new relationship with Raging Stallion. Here’s what he wrote exclusively for us:]

Well the news is finally out: I signed a yearlong contract with Raging Stallion Studios which will keep me in the United States for the next year. Career wise, signing with Raging Stallion was a no brainer. Personally, however, it was a more difficult decision. There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think of Madrid and the amazing life that I had when I lived in Spain. For the time being though, I have traded the comforts of Spanish life for the hustle of Los Angeles. Moving into my apartment here feels very temporary. Slowly, and somewhat reluctantly, unpacking my suitcases and buying miscellaneous housewares but keeping it to a bare minimum signals that I’m not quite ready to accept the new place that I’ve chosen. When I was a police sergeant, I put down deep roots, bought a house, had a job that I planned to retire from in 20 years, and was looking for a husband. Moving to Europe for the boy that I was in love with at the time uprooted everything and although the relationship didn’t last, my love for Spain did and it turned out to be the best choice I ever made. I really like being my age and being able to pack virtually everything I own into about four suitcases and go.

So John’s question to me was: What made me stay?

(The answer and much more follows after the break.)

Like the combination of circumstances that got me into porn, my decision to sign with Raging and to stay in the US was complex and compound. I started porn as an experiment. I planned on doing a few scenes out of curiosity and then getting out. Before I knew it, and much to my surprise, I had fans… and not just a few. So I made the decision to continue the experiment, to see how far it would go and this is where it led. Signing as an exclusive made perfect sense to me. After filming with virtually every studio I wanted to in the US, I wanted to be able to commit to one studio and one brand. I like being part of a team and at Raging Stallion I am. They gave me an amazing contract and we are constantly working together to shape my image and how it works within the Raging Stallion Brand. The fact that being a Raging Stallion Exclusive allows me to continue to work with Naked Sword is a huge selling point because I adore Mr. Pam. Also, Raging graciously allowed me to continue my work with Kristen Bjorn which was very important to me.

The second question John asked was: What do I hope for in the next year? This question really took some thought. Since porn is still something of an experiment for me, I guess it would be accurate to say that I don’t really have many clearly defined expectations. I’ve said in the past that one of the reasons that I kept my real first name when I started in porn was that I want to stay true to myself and that I did not want create a persona or live in the duality of two identities. That, I would say is the goal that is most important to me at this point in time: that I be able to continue to be myself. It’s been by being myself that I have developed this amazing fan base for which I am grateful every single day. Raging Stallion chose me for my look: being a little more on the muscular side, having natural body hair, and being a masculine guy fits the Raging brand to a T. My personality though tends to be a lot more romantic, shy, and sensitive than is portrayed in my Raging scenes. I’m pretty well known for almost always wearing a giant smile but if you look at my photos on the Raging site, you will rarely ever see it. It’ll be interesting to see how I am able to bring myself to the Raging brand and how working with Raging will sharpen my image and make me a little more edgy. When I started my Twitter account, I wrote in my bio that I’m the porn model that you can take home to mom. That, I hope will never change.

In the next year, I’m looking forward to traveling nationally and internationally to promote my work and the work of Raging Stallion, our other hot models, and our talented directors, and production staff. I’m looking forward to being on the road for public appearances, product promotion, gogo dancing, and live sex shows. DJ PornStar (AKA Dominic Pacifico) and I have become fast friends and are looking forward to traveling a great deal together and working in close partnership with one another. He is rising quickly as one of the best DJs in the world and, of course has always been an amazing performer in the porn industry.

Becoming a porn star is a process and for me it happens to have happened rather quickly. I’ve often thought that someone should write a Porn Star´s Guide to Life and Dating but it seems like we all just figure it out as we go along. Between filming and appearances, I plan to keep up on my writing. Sometimes I feel as though I am writing my own guide. Maybe someone can benefit from my experiences along the way.

None of this have I done on my own so I have to thank my amazing manager John Tegan for finding me when I was a little porn model in rags living in Madrid and arranging for all this to happen. I want to thank every single scene partner with whom I have been privileged to work. Unless it’s a solo it takes two (or more) to make a great scene. I also want to thank the studios with whom I have worked and who believed I could be something before I was even known, the talented bloggers who tirelessly track down and post my scenes, and everyone who has promoted me in anyway. Thank you to my friends and my family for trying to understand this journey, supporting me, and keeping me grounded every step of the way. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my fans for their kindness, their generosity, and their supper, especially the ones here at Gay Daily Hot. Without you, this reality would have been just an impossible dream.
