Devin Franco: Standing By My Principles
One of the true legends of gay porn is Devin Franco. Now finishing out a full decade in the industry, Devin is one of those performers who we have really witnessed growing up on the screen. Beginning as a Twinkie bottom and now wanting to embrace a more dominant top side Devin is ready for a whole new phase in his career. In his first Fleshbot interview, the always-outspoken Devin shares some reflections on his career to this point, his recent recovery from some serious health issues, and how he is ready to get back to work.

So how has 2024 been treating the legendary Devin Franco?
2024 has been awful, I have been recovering from encephalitis which messed me up for a good part of the year. My brain was swelling inside my skull but I had no idea, but it was manifesting through psychological issues like depression, and neurologically by making me slur my speech and drag my feet, felt fatigued all the time, and even had a seizure.
How have you overcome these recent health issues? Where does your resilience come from?
It was a struggle, I was trying to get help for my mental health which was its own nightmare trying to navigate insurance and the joke that is the American healthcare system. Eventually, I figured out what was happening and got treated and started feeling relief within 24 hours and it just kept getting better from there.
What are the plans for your Cumback? What can fans expect?
I am just taking it one day at a time and trying to get back into the routine of things.
Let’s have a look back at your background. Where are you originally from? What was your early life like?
I am from New Mexico, I grew up Mormon in a small town called Ramah.

How did you come to the world of gay porn?
I just submitted my application!
Because all the fans ask, what was your favorite scene and why?
It’s just a blur of 8 years of great cock, I can’t keep track of everyone who’s been inside me.
Who is the real Devin? Interests? Hobbies? Beliefs?
I have lots of interests and hobbies. I’m a bit of a nerd actually, I love learning about space, physics, AI, solar power, investing, going on road trips, and driving my Tesla. I like to invest in stocks and that has taught me a lot about finances and how the economy and stock market work. I highly recommend everyone invest and closely follow a company you believe brings value to the world. I also love woodworking and building furniture. I am currently working on rebuilding my parents' balcony for them. I also have some off-grid solar panels and batteries that I geek out over which I use to power a lot of things in my home and to charge my car.
In recent months, you have been very outspoken about your political stances going into this year's presidential election. What would you like to share?
Every election I have voted in until this upcoming one I have voted Democrat, this year I can’t bring myself to do it. It will probably get me canceled, but I’m standing by my principles. I could try to explain every little thing I have seen unfold from my perspective that soured me to the Democrats, but it would practically be the length of a book by the time I am done and it wouldn’t sway anyone’s opinions except for maybe how they think about me, not who they are voting for. But if show business and porn have taught me anything it’s that reality can easily be distorted with a camera and a little editing, so pay attention to what is actually being done in the world by these people and actually form an individual thought instead of posting and reacting to purposefully provocative political memes that you didn’t even create and base your entire world view off of. Do your cities feel safer? Does the world seem on the brink of Armageddon? Are you paying more for everything and getting less for the money? Why do we seem to always have billions of dollars for foreign wars, but nothing to spare for Americans in need?
You have been in the industry for almost ten years now. What have been some of the biggest changes (both good and not-so-good) that you have seen?
I mean definitely platforms like OnlyFans and JFF that put more emphasis on the model and taking the studio out as a middleman. The focus in the industry has completely shifted to fan platform content and the studios are struggling to keep up with the massive shift.

What has been the secret to your longevity? How does a porn star stay a porn star?
Well outside of porn I’m pretty boring. I just work out at the gym, work on art projects, travel, and hang out with my dog. I am not much of a party person so I think just staying focused on maintaining my health, fitness, and servicing cock for my fans.
What is your favorite thing about sex?
I mean it feels great, but I love kink and fetishes and trying new things, flipping archetypes into unexpected roles. Sex is a playground there are so many sensations and things to experience, and I love exploring them all.
