Spencer Quest: Where Are They Now?

Fleshbot's popular Where Are They Now series catches up with the gorgeous Spencer Quest. Spencer, and his amazing body and cock, only appeared in eight movies. But those eight movies won him multiple industry awards and a devoted fanbase. So why did Spencer suddenly leave the business at the peak of his success? We have the scoop!

Why don't we start with a few basics: Name? Age? Living? Profession?

Could you share with us a little bit about your background? Where are you from? How did you grow up?

I was born in Lancaster County, PA then moved to Cape Town, South Africa, when I was 6. We lived there for nearly 3 years. So some of my most formative years were spent soaking in incredible beauty and a vastly different culture. It was years of one adventure after another, from regularly hiking up Table Mountain, going on safaris (where we’d wake up with lion tracks outside the tent), and living a somewhat bohemian beach life. I share that because I became addicted to adrenaline and adventure at a very early age which is one of the reasons diving into porn felt so comfortable. I saw it as just another adventure in my life.

After South Africa, we moved back to Lancaster County. I then went to undergraduate and graduate school in Pittsburgh and stayed in the city for 15 years, teaching English in the inner city schools for part of that period. I was also renovating an old Victorian house myself. When my former partner and I sold that, we finally landed in Northern Vermont in 2001. It was from there that I went from living in a log cabin in the woods to filming my first

How did this lead to the world of gay porn?

Again, I’m an adventure seeker. Nothing scares me. I’ve always wanted to live my life fully, to dive into opportunity, and to trust I’ll have an incredible experience and a difficult one, both of which I can grow from as a person. My life is one of beautiful trauma. It’s all made me who I am.

I met my first partner as a freshman in college—we stayed together until I was 36. It was an amazing relationship, but it was a young one. Neither of us knew who we were outside of being with each other. After such a long time together, I felt like I was living for him and hadn’t fully discovered who I was. He knew my early trauma, and in a sense, he wanted me to go figure out how to heal. On a whim one night as we processed our breakup, he took photos that I sent to Titan. I thought that if I was going to go enter the gay community never having lived in it before, that doing porn would be a safe way to experience sex with a lot of men. And that’s what I wanted at that point. I also wanted that adventure after a life of stability and safety for 17 years. And I desperately wanted to write, something I knew since a child I would do.

Titan responded within days, Joe Gage fell in love me me (Titan’s words), I was cast as the passive role in 100 Degrees in Tucson, and in two weeks I was filming. But they decided to make me the top. That scene became a classic and started my journey, my quest, if you will.

How was the experience? Any memorable stories? Favorite scenes?

Honestly, every one of my 8 movies was incredible. I was so quickly comfortable with the sex, and with having had some prior acting experience, I was able to easily inhabit roles that combined pure lust and being someone else. The owner of the business didn’t think I could be in Horse after seeing me in Tucson (he thought I was too all-American), but within 5 minutes, dressed in leather and whip, I became someone else. It was no different than being on any other stage. But I was also being myself, too, being authentic as a person. I think that’s what the fans fell for: I was a complete pig who seemed like a real guy but who could also act.

I’m going to defer to my memoir for the details of the memorable stories because there were many on the set. Each movie had moments that blew me away (pun intended). Getting slammed by Markus Ram in SpyQuest and the fact that Titan created a James Bond-esque series just for me—it was dumbfounding. Blu Kennedy fucking me in the boxing ring on Alabama Takedown—then having John Galt’s hand nearly up my ass. Hanging from a trapeze while getting double-fucked (won best 3-some for that.) Rimming Jamie Donovan’s ass in Michael Lucas’ closet on La Dolce Vita. I jerked off picturing each of my movies over the years. They were all incredible.

Why did you choose to leave so quickly?

I knew it was going to be a short career. My objective was to build a creative life after being the stable breadwinner for the first half of my life. I’ve been blessed with creative genes, so I paint, sing, play the piano, and act, but at that time, those were always avocations. I wanted to dive into all of those after my breakup, and I wanted to finally try to write. So that was my objective while I was doing porn. But during that time, my early childhood trauma began to resurface, and my addictions and self-destructive patterns started to derail me. I suffered several massive losses during my porn years, and by the end, I wanted everything to end. I landed in rehab for 3 months, and in rehab I decided I needed to leave porn and start that new creative life.

How do you look back on your time in the business? Anything you feel you missed out on?

Porn saved my life. I’m not being dramatic. Those movies were like life preservers during a time of pain and self-destruction. No one knew what I was going through; I compartmentalized my life to such an extent that I didn’t take what was happening outside of the porn set onto the porn set. Porn was like a retreat—it was a healthy and hot expression of my insatiable need for sex. This was also a spiritual journey for me, another opportunity to get to know a part of myself I had denied for a long time, and another chance to become more authentic as a person.

I am so proud of my short career, and I’ve been blessed by fans who said my films, my career helped them in some way. That’s a powerful feeling, knowing I made a difference in others’ lives.

What did I miss out on? Man, I wanted a full blown gang bang where dick after dick fucked me, one after the other. Joe Gage discussed my doing a biopic, and I wanted to do that, but it never happened. I am so turned on by a man going down on a woman. I was going to get fisted on screen, but I left Titan before that could happen. Overall, though, so many fantasies were fulfilled, I try not to think of what didn’t happen.

What are you up to today?

I’ve lived in Provincetown for 20 years now. While tragedy brought me here, I chose to make it my home because of that search for a creative life. I got what I asked for because I’ve been able to sing, act, paint, and now write with the support of the town’s artistic soul and its people. For work, I’m the director of a local gallery and auction house that specializes in historic Provincetown art. It’s a blessing because it combines art, history, and a chance to teach people about the town’s history as one of the oldest art colonies in the country. I also get to be in nature, swimming, running, and cycling in an incredibly beautiful National Park that’s right outside my door. I live a blessed life, and with the completion of my book, I now live an authentic life. Most people know my past—even my clients—and they embrace all of my parts.

Tell us about your new memoir. Is it juicy? Is it sad? Is it uplifting?

This is a hard question because my readers are all taking different things from it. Each person knows me from different parts of my life, so I have fans, high school classmates, friends from recovery, rehabs, the theater, and clients, all connecting with different parts. It’s sexy and titillating, but it’s a hard read for some people. It was an exercise in radical honesty. From sexual abuse to needle use, from my desperate need to be abused to my desperate need for male affection. It is a beautiful but traumatic book, one I’ve been writing in my head for 20 years. I’m a Jungian and student of Joseph Campbell, so it is framed as a heroic journey with all of the pain and hope of the hero. The most important thing in it is that I bare all for others to see a difficult piece of themselves in it. And that is exactly what’s happening.

Will you ever make a comeback?

In a way, my comeback is happening now. Not explicitly on camera, but on social media. I’m very open about myself as a sexual being, but I also post goofy, very human things as well. I am shame free now—and can embrace my insatiable need for dick while being soulful too.

A comeback on screen? It’s a constant fantasy, but right now, I’m starting to actively engage in those fantasies in my bedroom. I’ve been recently liberated sexually, and my god, I’m having fun.

What is your favorite thing about sex?

Perfect segue: I’m as piggy as they get, but have limits. I need the control, and while I’m getting more into topping again, I am a demanding bottom who wants to give myself up completely. I get off on giving guys what they want—I want to be their fantasy, be the guy who worships them and lets them own me. I love all guys—have no real preferences in terms of types. It’s usually the normal guys with natural insecurities who appreciate the attention the most. Guys for whom I’m just another hole or dick in their daily need to fuck—not a turn on. I like to create something special for my partners. Something they’ll jerk off to later. Guess that’s the exact reason I succeeded in porn. My devoted fans saw that on the screen: I’m a normal guy who loves to get nasty, and they know I’d do it with them if given the chance.
