Eli Strong: The Blunt Bodybuilder

It's fair to say that performing in the adult industry requires a certain level of exhibitionism, or at least an openness and honesty that not everybody has. That openness is just what we get from sexy newcomer Eli Strong. This guy shares and talks about it all! His outspoken personality, combined with a body by god, a deceptively innocent baby face, and an admittedly slutty sex drive, makes this guy a force to be reckoned with (or if he had his way, a force to be wrecked...). In his first online interview, this blunt bodybuilder shares everything from his farm boy beginnings to his desire to be as prolific and successful in this business as he can.

Let's start with a few basics: Name? Age? Hometown? Occupation? Relationship Status?

Eli Strong. 36 years young. Potlatch, Idaho. Mental Health. Divorced

How did you create your stage name?

I was obsessed with the name Eli as a child! I even named one of my 4-H sheep "Eli." "Strong" because I love lifting weights and being a dumb gym bro douche bag, but in reality, a sweetie.

Could you tell us about your background?

I grew up in a very small town of 750 people; my graduating class had only 23 kids. I was raised on a 1,600-acre ranch with all the farm animals you can think of. Although I knew from a very young age that I was different and did not belong here, I owe my entire life and work ethic to the strong people who raised me in this tiny community. Most of my best friends, such as Nicole, Hailey, and Brandi, all know about my new porn career and totally support me. When I graduated high school, I moved to Lewiston, which was the city where I came out at the age of 20. I met one of my best friends named Kayeloni. I used to work at a nursing home, a pool, and also at IHOP, "serving hotcakes." Shortly after I came out, I moved to Boise, Idaho - (I wanted to be around a gay community and hopefully make friends.) I stayed in Boise, Idaho, a little over a year, before I moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2012 with my best friend Kayeloni and my ex-husband. This is when I really started getting into nightlife, dancing at Silverados, producing events, fundraisers, booking RuPaul talents, and organizing the Lipstick divas traveling drag show.

I started becoming Eli Strong when I was 19 years old, working for flirtforfree.com as a webcam model. It was also my stage name for certain dance clubs/strip clubs. Eli has always been my alter ego. Since I can remember, he has been the life of the party, always flirting and playing with the fantasies that most people look for. I really started taking off around 2017 when I got my very first Gogo dancing gig. During this time, I also owned a bar called Shotskis in Salem, Oregon, and toured with my traveling company, the Lipstick Divas, in six states and 22 cities. I have been a pretty big figure in the PNW nightlife for well over a decade. When I divorced my first husband and closed my bar due to financial stress from the divorce, COVID hit. This sparked me to get into fitness and focus on sculpting my body as I wanted it. My coach at the time asked me what my goals were, and I said, " I just wanna look good naked! I want to look like a porn star!"

I started off just working with her and going to Anytime Fitness. This led me to CrossFit and powerlifting, which then led me to bodybuilding. I started going into competitions at the end of 2023. I competed in May 2024 and June 2024, getting third place and second place. I got my first studio shoot with Treasure Island Media in May of 2024, the day before my first competition for bodybuilding. Since then, I have done seven features with them, some still pending release. I started working for Badlands in Portland in the summer of 2024, and I quickly became the lead/manager of the Gogos here. I dreamed of traveling, dancing, making content, and working for studios. I set some goals, and now I have traveled all of California, Idaho, Nevada, and even done some big Pride events. I would say that Eli Strong has been around, but really, 2025 was the year that made me who I am, and I'm so thankful for finally putting the love I freely gave everyone and investing it into myself.

With a rural and small-town conservative upbringing, how did you discover you were gay?

Oh! I knew I was gay from as long as I can remember. I used to fake being able to read, so I could go in early for first grade to tutor, cause I had a crush on the teacher. But growing up, I always heard multiple gay jokes, slurs, etc., very anti-gay speech around almost anywhere I turned. I was not out and dated several girls and even had sex with several girls in high school and college. The harassment started when I was in third grade, being called faggot, etc. I always knew I was different, but I did not know it had a label until the movie "BIG DADDY" came out, and I saw for the first time two men kiss, and everyone on TV seemed cool about it, and they were called "gays." I had asked my mom about the possibility of whether I was like that, to which she replied, "You're not." So even though I finally found the meaning for what I was and the things I felt inside, I quickly found out that this was not an acceptable thing.

How did you discover your love of porn?

Honestly, I used to use dial-up internet to look up porn in the middle of nowhere, and I have always been so fascinated by it. I used to steal my uncle's Playboys and jack off only looking at the pics of the dudes who were featured; they always had the biggest dicks. I finally started meeting porn stars in my early 20s and started following them on social media, and I always felt like "Wow!" This is the life I want: traveling fucking hot dudes and being a star.

What brought you to Portland?

It was totally random. My best friend Kayeloni wanted to move and asked me if I'd come with her.

When and how did you first start creating content?

My first ever video was filmed with Cain Marco, and boy was I not prepared for how big his cock was and how amazing he fucked... (Please give me another try, Cain.) I started an X account, and mostly I was just that cruise guy. I love glory holes, taking random loads, and sucking random cocks. I was really starting to gain a following on X and on my OnlyFans, but then everything changed, and I needed to figure out how to follow all the rules. Trust me, Eli is 100% an NSA fuck kind of guy... You got a glory hole? Tell me when and where, baby, and I'm gonna stick my cock in it.

When did you first venture into studio work?

When Treasure Island Media contacted me.

Is your prolificacy as a performer making up for something?

Honestly, I feel like my personal life and my porn life are so drastically different. In my real life, I am so structured and serious. In Porn, Eli just gets to look hot, get fucked, and have a blast. So I feel like, honestly, it's just a great way to blow off some steam.

How do you compare your work in the studio world to your OnlyFans work? Any preference?

My performances are the same. I will always give you amazing muscle power, bottom, or raging top. With my own work/content, I don't focus too much on the production. In my opinion, when you come to my fan sites, that is not what they are looking for. They want to see into my life. They want more raw, unfiltered content to really connect to who I am as a person. I do love studio work, and I will work for any studio. Just give me a call :) It's a huge kink of mine to be seen by as many people as possible.

What do you still want to do in the porn world? Scenes? Scene partners? Activities?

Everything and everyone - I truly love to experience life, and I feel like I should try it all...

My all-time scene would be a massive glory hole/ dungeon setting where I am sucking and backing up on HUGE COCKS! I want to film with Adam Killian so so so bad! I love kinks, I am basically down to do just about anything, honestly. I view this as an art form, and if I look good doing it, I'm gonna post it.

Could you tell us about your work in mental health?

I've been working in this field for about 13 years :)

What does it mean to you to help people?

I truly do love helping people who can't 100% help themselves and working with them through different avenues to help them find what works for them.

Tell us a little bit about yourself outside of porn. Interests? Hobbies? Beliefs?

I love scary movies, I love drawing and painting, and I am really trying to learn Spanish. I love hiking, snowboarding, paddle-boarding, singing karaoke, and hanging out with my friends. I love flowers, house plants, and making my home beautiful. I believe that TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS! Protect the dolls and the KENS! My body, my choice! You can't be illegal on stolen land. PLEASE consider looking up the "Covenant of the Salmon People" now streaming on PBS. I have so many loved ones in my life who are really working hard to breach the dams in the Snake River, and people need to know more about this. I am 100% against Trump, and I think that speaks for itself. FUCK ICE!!!! FUCK anyone who supports them. I came from one of the most conservative states and towns ever, and if I'm able to grow up and be a decent human, so can you!

Who is the real Eli Strong?

Eli Strong is the 1980s porn star you always wanted to fuck. muscle power bottom or the dude who will destroy your hole... he is the action figure for sex. You tell him what you want, and he will deliver.

How do you define a true "Porn Star"? Are you one?

A true porn star is someone who is constantly sought after, booked, and featured, but I also feel like a true porn star is someone who also helps others get spots and features. I truly believe that if you make it, why not help others? I have always referred my friends and tried to get them into porn if they wish, linked them up with connections in the industry, Gogo gigs, etc. Am I a true porn star by my definition? YES, because Eli is a star, and I always always help others. Am I by everyone else's definition? NO, because I have always been met with "NO" when trying to get into more studio work... My tattoos always get me passed over. But eventually, someone is gonna say yes. I will be seen by a larger audience, and I think it will open doors.

What is your favorite thing about sex?

Honestly, when I meet someone who just instantly clicks with my chemistry, I'm like, "Damn, I need to fuck this dude!" I recently met Alex Kof in San Francisco for Folsom. We did a gang bang, and our chemistry was so fucking insane... We left the gang bang and went back to my Airbnb, and he fucked me three times, and that entire experience lives rent-free in my head to this day... Alex, if you are reading this, let's do it again.
