Porn Royalty Andre Donovan Shares 5 Trailblazing Porn Star Role Models of Black Excellence

Good role models are far and few between these days. Luckily for Falcon Studios/NakedSword Exclusive Andre Donovan, he is in no short supply of them. We were recently catching up, and the two of us embarked on the topic of Black performers that we found inspiring to us and our careers. So many names of great men came up, we just had to share some with you guys. Andre chose these performers because each of them impacted his own sexual awakening.

Here are Andre's top 5 most inspiring men of porn. Mr. Donovan, take it away.

1. Bobby Blake

I’ve always found Bobby to be such a calm yet commanding presence in any scene he’s been in. He dominated gay porn during his time as a performer, and, in my eyes, he is the quintessential archetype of the Black gay porn star. Bobby is the blueprint. He always looked great, his body was always perfectly toned and sculpted, and he always delivered in all of his movies.

2. Cutler X

The thing I love about Cutler is how relentless he is. He has arguably one of the biggest dicks to ever grace a porn screen and I love how he isn’t afraid to use it. He pairs that big dick with just as much big dick energy. Like, “Oh you’re a bottom? Prove it!” He’s great in every last one of his films and never shies away from being passionate or aggressive when he fucks. On the other side of the camera, he is an established businessman. Cutler is one of the first I can recall to create his own production website. It's very inspiring to see Black porn models venturing out and creating more opportunities for themselves and others.

3. Gene Lamar

Gene is one of the pioneers of gay porn, particularly for Black men. I remember getting a compilation DVD from a friend that had a bunch of different porn scenes on it and one scene in particular that caught my attention featured Gene. It was Gene and a bunch of guys in a gym/boxing studio. They were all hot, all Black, all had great bodies and tons of sex appeal, and Gene was the standout star for sure. The camera just loved him. He was really able to captivate viewers and make a name for himself in the gay porn industry during a time when male beauty and gay sexuality were not really oriented toward Black men.

4. Diesel Washington

Diesel is a commanding presence in any scene I’ve ever seen him in. He’s always been such a strong performer, with such intensity. And one of the more creative porn actors in terms of his dynamic positions and lifts. The sex is very athletic and thrilling to watch. Diesel fucks like a porn star. I feel like he really showed other performers the variety of ways in which you can fuck. Diesel has filmed so many scenes and he’s had such a long career. His presence on camera showed me that as a Black man in gay porn, you don’t have to be just a prop or another nameless face in the scene. You can be the star.

5. Aron Ridge

I’ve always been a fan of Aron’s, ever since I saw him in that gangbang with Dean Monroe from back in the day. Aron was such a standout performer in that scene and in many others. He always had a great look, the body, the face, like some kind of fitness supermodel, but also so confident yet chill. His performance style is strong yet relaxed and it’s a very sexy combination. Aron showed us how to be dominant and calm at the same time. He really fulfills that fantasy of the “hung dom top” but naturally. Aron never seems like he’s trying too hard to do anything or be something he isn’t. Calm, cool, and collected. He showcased a performance style in which Black men in gay porn didn’t have to be excessively aggressive.
