Where the Wild Things Aren’t

And that is in porn. After winning the XBIZ award for gay performer of the year, fan favorite Jackson Wild, announced he's taking a break from skin flicks.

We know that plenty of you out there will be just heart broken, but you can console yourself with some of his excellent work, like the great scene he did with our main man Ricky Sinz in Raging Stallions' "To the Last Man." Through his agent and on his MySpace page, Wild said he's taking a break from the adult industry for "personal reasons." Guess this means that Wolf Hudson has one fewer rival for the gig cohosting this year's Grabby Awards.

Let's hope that means he only has a jealous boyfriend and not something horrible. Anyway, Jackson, when you're ready for the break to be over, we'll be ready to welcome you back. His full statement is below.

"I am proud and humbled with this award. I was unable to attend the XBIZ Awards ceremony but found out early this AM that I had received the coveted Performer of the Year in the LGBT movie category. I have recently taken myself out of the industry for personal reasons, but none the less after [two and a half] years of internet and moviemaking, all the hard work pays off. I want to thank my agent Howard Andrew over at Fabscout - hell, without him Jackson Wild, at least within the DVD market, never would have [become] that little bad boy. Randy Blue for teaching me the ropes of making it all look so freakin good, and to, of course, all the fans, without you the business wouldn't be worth it at all! To everyone and anyone who has stepped foot into the world of Jackson Wild and tangled with this bad boy, I thank you all…"
