Porn Star Chat: Dakota Wonders Gets His First Awards Nom
Dakota Wonders is still a relatively fresh face (and other body parts) in the adult business. When we first chatted with him, he had just filmed his first studio scene. No, a couple of years later, he has received his first adult industry award nomination! Well, actually three. This year, he is nominated for The Grabbys in the Hottest Twink, Hottest Newcomer, and Best Duo (with Cliff Jensen). Dakota continues to put out hot content on his OnlyFans, and his studio work is picking up speed. He fulfills all of our hot, twink nerd fantasies. We caught up with him while he was roaming around West Hollywood looking for dick.

Last time we chatted with you, you were a newbie in the business! What have you learned most about the adult business since starting?
Honestly, I still consider myself a newbie lol, but what I've learned most is consistency is super important. I've also learned I'm terrible at being consistent.
How have you changed personally from your start in the adult world?
I've gotten older. Besides the obvious, I've gotten more confident. I feel so much more confident with both the way I look and the way I interact with people. I still get nervous but it's a lot easier to push through it these days.
What has been one of your favorite scenes to film thus far, and why?
My favorite scene so far was the scene I did with Cliff Jensen for Squirt Studios. It was such a rough, intense scene but there were multiple points behind the scenes where I was dying laughing. Just a great time all around.
What kind of scenes do you want to work on next?
Hmmm..... I don't really have anything particular in mind. I think as long as it's new and something I haven't really done, I'd love to work on it. Trying new things is exciting to me... once I've talked myself into it.
What makes a good co-star?
A good co-star to me is just someone who is just able to vibe. Being able to keep the mood up and keep the energy in the room positive is a quality I love in a costar. Being funny is always a plus in my book.
How do you prepare for a day on set?
Panic. Then make sure I don't eat anything that would upset my stomach, get as much rest as I can, and set 20 alarms to make sure I wake up on time.
You were nominated for your first adult industry award! Congrats! How does that make you feel?
I'll let you know when I figure that out. It just doesn't feel real.
What are some of the biggest challenges facing an independent adult film actor today?
I would say the biggest challenge is the way society wants to perceive adult film actors.
What do you want most out of your adult career?
What I want most from my career is to be able to pay off my student loans. If I can do that, then I'll have considered my current career goals achieved.

How do you balance personal life with being in the biz?
Most of my friends and family are aware of what I do, so for me finding balance isn't as hard. I'm lucky enough that I don't have to hide what I do from the people I love. So for me, it's like any other job. I just don't share too much about what I do at work though.
What do you think the future of the gay adult industry looks like?
I think the future is uncertain. What I do know is the industry will always be there in one way, shape or form, history has shown us that. Only time will tell at this point.
What is your message to your fans?
My message to my fans would be thank you. I really appreciate all the support and kindness you've shown me. It's still bizarre to me to think I have fans to be honest so really thank you.
