From Adult Star to Content Mogul: Dreed’s Digital Journey | Dredd DSH #1217

Most guys have that thing of like

you discover something, you know what I mean?

And it's kind of like, man,

if only everybody knew what I was feeling, you know what I mean?

This is like my secret, but come to find out.

It's just a natural progression.

And yeah, I mean, I'm sure we're in the same boat.

I was beating off to everything.

All right, guys, we got Dred here today.

He's in town for AVN.

So two years off, right?

Yes, sir.

What made you want to come back?

Well, not two years off, but two years from being at AVN.

You know, last year, it's like you want to do it when you have something going on.

And I was shooting exclusively for Jules Jordan.

And so I've kind of been shooting my own thing now.

And so I felt like, you know, I'm like right in the middle and I didn't have anything to really push.

So I, you know, I stayed away.

Makes sense.

So now you got the dread dong, which is killing.

The dread dong is here.

It is taking the world by storm.

That's what they told me.

And the dread, the official dread XXX website is right around the corner, and I'm really happy about that.

Man, 12 inches, right?

And they say 14.

Damn.

Yeah.

I don't know.

They say 14, but I never say, you know, hey, man, people run with it.

They go.

Some people say it's 15 inches.

Okay.

I remember hearing stories of someone who had the world record for the longest penis and he would pass out when he got hard.

Oh, my God.

Have you heard of that?

I have not heard about that one.

But you know what?

Nowadays, guys are able to do things to their junk that they couldn't do before.

Right.

So I'm sure we're close to like, you know, the 20-incher.

Oh, my God.

The 20-inch penis is around the corner.

I know it is.

That's crazy, man.

I mean, anything past a foot is.

It's a little too much to deal with.

Yeah.

You know?

Because you got to do stuff.

You got to walk around.

You You got to play sports.

Exactly.

And it's not even so much just like

the size.

It's, you know, the rigidity.

You know, because you could have a big size and it just kind of, you know, that accordion

just

falls out.

So to have that, you know, that solid rigidity, that's important.

Yeah, man.

Does it, does it affect you like on a daily basis?

Like, is it annoying?

You know what, man?

I've never had an issue with it really.

I mean, maybe on my hand, the amount of times.

Oh, that's it?

Yeah, a girl was like, I just can't do it.

You know what I mean?

But for the most part, you know, all my years in porn and all my years in the lifestyle,

women were happy about it.

Right.

So, and I get, people would ask me, man, it's got to be a problem.

You know, and I'll joke around.

And my joke is, you know, I can't wait to get that penis reduction surgery.

You know what I mean?

I'm tired of this thing.

It's too big.

It comes out of my shorts every time.

I can't wear shorts.

It's too heavy.

You know, you never heard that.

Yeah, no, no, I'm only kidding with that one.

Everyone wants to enhance, right?

Exactly.

Yeah.

There's all sorts of stuff you could try these days.

For sure.

Who knows if any of it works?

You would know, probably.

I don't know.

You know, look,

I started in 2009 and I left

in 2010.

And I was gone for a few years because

I just felt like it wasn't for me.

You know, I was always a fan of porn and I enjoyed it.

And like most guys, when you would watch it, you'd kind of go, you know what, I could do that.

I could do that.

Just put me in a room with this hot female.

But, you know, once you get in that room and there are other factors working, other people in the room, the lights are sometimes extra bright.

And

whereas you thought you could do it, now the struggle begins.

So I left and then I came back.

in 2015.

So there are a small amount of people who think while I was gone, I did this, you know, this surgery.

You know, all of a sudden I got this super big dong, you know what I mean?

And I'm like, no, that's not the case.

No, I just didn't feel like it was for me at that time.

Interesting.

You're at a different point in your life, maybe.

You know, I just, it was something that I thought I could do.

And the nerves kicked in.

I'm not going to lie.

And it was a struggle.

You know, I'd be sitting there.

You know, you walk in feeling great and everybody says, oh, the man is here.

Here we go.

And you walk in and the blood just isn't flowing.

And now you're kind of like on that, that, that life boat, you know, the SOS sign, you know, please.

And the girl's kind of like looking at her watch and her phone.

And I was like, this ain't for me, man.

You know what I mean?

Now, when I left, here's what the difference was.

I got heavily involved in the lifestyle, the swinging lifestyle.

Got it.

And I got more comfortable being around.

people, being at parties, being at clubs, performing in front of people.

So that now, when I went back in 2015, I was like, let's go.

Now I'm ready.

You had the confidence.

Oh, I had it.

So that helped a lot.

And the hunger, the drive to succeed.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Did you see it as a mainly as a means to make money or how did you view it?

You know what?

Excellent question, dude.

That was, you know what?

I wanted the fortune.

I didn't really care so much for the fame.

You know, I got in it a little bit later on in life and I was just looking to make ends meet.

I had no idea things were going to turn into what it's turned into.

Now, I'm not bitter about it.

You know, I'm cool.

I'm happy about it, but it's definitely not what I signed up for.

Was it instant success?

Like, where were the signs along the way?

Because you came back in 2015.

Yep.

Well, when I came back, there were people because when I shot maybe, I think maybe it was like 20 scenes in 2009.

And I shot for a pretty known studio down in Miami.

So there were people when I came back who remembered me, you know, who said, oh man, he's back.

Where's he been?

Okay, well, good to see him again.

And again, I had that hunger and things were just totally different.

And so that

was the main change, you know what I mean?

But thankfully, there were people like my name was still there, you know?

Yeah.

Wow.

So it was kind of like you ease right into it type of thing?

Eased right into it and things just started happening from there.

Like I started back up again with those same guys.

Then it was really just like a word of mouth thing.

You know, I shot with a girl for them who said, you know what?

I know these guys in LA.

They would love to shoot you.

Okay, fine.

Tell them, you know?

So that she passed that along.

Then I started flying out because I was living in Miami at the time.

So I started flying out doing the back and forth thing to LA.

And each time, just really trying to make a statement.

You know, that was my thing at the time was like every scene that I shot, I put a lot into, you know what I mean?

And I think it showed and one thing just led to the next.

And then the next thing you know it, I've got an exclusive deal with Jules Jordan and I was exclusive with him for like seven years.

Wow.

Yeah.

Well done.

Yeah.

Seven years.

There's something there, man, because standing out as a male in this industry is really hard because a lot of guys can name females.

Yeah, for sure.

Well, you know what, man?

Look, when I shoot my own stuff, I really like to take the back seat and put the emphasis on the girl because when I watch porn, I watch for the girl.

You know what I mean?

As long as the guy kind of could do his job, I wasn't big.

So the fact that I've got this fan base of people

who are into me, I'm very appreciative of it, you know, and I'm really humbled by that.

Because again,

it's a girl's thing.

Right.

You know, and I know there are a lot of guys

who feel like, you know, because they have a name, they should be front and center.

I never looked at it that way.

So I always want to put the emphasis on the girls.

That's respect, man.

That's how I treat my podcast, too.

The emphasis is always on the guest.

That's it.

That's it.

Well, I think once you start making it, and not just the podcast, but I think this applies for anything.

Once you start making it more about yourself,

you know, it could kind of change things.

I think so, yeah, because then ego starts getting in the way.

For sure.

Yeah.

100%.

You sound like you really balanced ego and confidence.

Yeah, man.

I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm humble.

I mean, I'm a guy, like I said, just happy to be in this position of where, you know, it's, hey, we, we, we want dread, you know what I mean?

And I love that.

Again, not what I signed up for, but I, I'm, I've embraced it.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

What was that inspiration for the swinger lifestyle?

Was that something you witnessed growing up or how did that come about?

You know what, man?

That it, it came at the right time.

And I mean that because I was kind of like, well, so much for the porn thing.

That didn't work out.

But then a girl I knew, she said, you know what?

You, you do really well in the lifestyle.

I said, well, what is that?

You know, couples, you meet couples.

I said, well, you know, I'm not, I don't do any, I'm not gay.

I'm doing gay stuff.

Oh, no, no, it's not that.

The husbands usually just want to watch and kind of.

So I was like, I don't know, man.

I just wasn't sure about it.

And then I tried it.

And man, it was like learning to ride a bike.

You know what I mean?

Once you get it, you know, you got it.

You never forget it.

And it just became a thing for like a decade.

I did that, you know, being flown out to different parts of the country just for the sole purpose of fucking.

Wow.

So people would fly you out for that?

Oh, man.

I've flown out to places.

A guy like me in Skokie, Illinois,

something's going on there.

But

I would go to these places, man, and all revolving around.

Now it wasn't just, and that was the thing about the lifestyle, which is one of the things I miss, was it wasn't just the sexual aspect.

It was getting to know just different people from different, you know, walks of life

who all had this common denominator of sex.

Interesting.

Yeah, those are some of my best times.

I have people to this day who ask me, who know about my involvement in the lifestyle, man, what's better?

The super hot porn star or the hot wife?

And on the outside, I go, you know, it's a tough question.

But on the inside, I'm like, that's a no-brainer, you know, because in the lifestyle, these were a lot of times these are situations where there were couples where it would just be them

and now you know maybe they're empty nesters the kids moved out they want to explore yeah expand on their sexuality so these are women who have this pent up sexual energy that it's hard to match against you know, your, your, your hot porn star, who where we're trying to just shoot a great scene and the chemistry could be great and all that, but it's just, it's two different things.

It's more cutthroat, it's more business-minded, right?

100%.

Yeah.

I actually did want to ask you that.

Like, how do you view sex?

Do you think there's a spiritual slash emotional connection in the art of sex?

You know what?

I think there is.

And I think that can be achieved while you're shooting porn too.

Cause I don't want anyone to think, ah, well, you know, porn, it's just this choreographed thing.

I mean, yeah, there's, okay, do this, do that.

But during that,

you try to develop something with who you're shooting with where you just kind of meet right here.

And that's what I think makes the scene.

Now, a lot of times it's lopsided, you know, but I think once you find that common point with porn, I think that that whole, that sexual energy you're talking about is there.

Yeah, it can be cheap.

I'm a big believer in it, man.

For sure.

I just feel like the sex is better if there's that emotional connection personally.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

There's no doubt.

Yeah.

And you experienced that with the swinger stuff, it sounds like.

I experienced it so many times, man.

Again, I've seen just the joy.

Because, I mean, a lot lot of times the boyfriends and the husbands, they just want to see their better half

having a pleasurable time.

Right.

You know what I mean?

So I've seen that so many times.

And it's just an all-around good feeling.

You know, you may think on the surface, you go, oh, no, man, that's not for me.

I don't, I could never see my woman.

But I'm telling you, you know, a lot of times it's like a guy, maybe an older guy who's got this younger trophy wife.

And he's just like, hey, I can't really keep up with her.

So I respect that, you know.

I mean, I could see it.

You have sex with the same person like thousands of times eventually it gets a little boring you know you want to spice it up a bit for sure yeah bring some new energy in there that's cool man yeah i didn't know that was a lifestyle like that was some of the best experiences i've had in my i'm telling you in my life i mean and i was in miami at that time so miami being a very desirable place a lot of times people from outside of the country hey we're coming in uh to miami my wife really likes you what do you okay sure right can't turn that down as easy as that yeah Wow.

That's fascinating, man.

Yeah, man.

That's good stuff.

Would you still do that these days or you're kind of more laid back?

I'm glad you asked me that.

Because I get a lot of emails and messages about from husbands and boyfriends who think that's still in my, you know, my bag.

And I'm like, you know what?

I'm sorry.

Your wife looks beautiful, but

I'm just not the guy anymore.

You know, yeah, no, I cut it out.

Was it a specific moment that caused that decision?

You know,

once I started to get more active in

once the porn became more of a thing, especially when I started shooting my own stuff, I just didn't have the time.

You know what I mean?

I mean, maybe if I was still in my 20s, I could be that guy, but now I'm more focused on what really matters the most.

And shooting is what matters the most for me.

Do you think your sex drive died down a little bit too since your 20s?

You know what?

I get asked that often.

And no, but I'm going to tell you something.

I'm going to give you a good analogy, if you will.

Yeah.

I don't know how if you're a big sports fan.

I am.

Okay.

Michael Jordan.

And when he first started, he was a high flyer.

He was dunking on everybody.

He was making all these wild shots.

As he got older, his game transitioned from high flyer to mid-range assassin.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So now I'm like a mid-range assassin.

God.

I'm not the high flyer anymore, but I could still kill you.

You know what I mean?

But it's just more mid-range,

more of a savvy.

But I feel, and from what the fans tell me, I still always try to deliver high energy.

You know, I always try to bring that no matter what.

And

no, I feel like that has not decreased at all.

Well done.

Yeah.

Because you hear guys in their 30s, 40s saying they lost the stuff.

Yeah, no, and I get it.

I mean, it's really normal.

But I think if you have that thing, that sexual, like I discovered sex at way too of an early age,

seven years old.

What?

Yeah, seven years old is when I discovered my father's stash.

Wow.

And I never got those, what I saw in his box.

This wasn't no Playboy or Hustler.

This was like some wild shit.

And I was like, damn, pops, how are you?

How are you getting this?

But anyway, it just had an effect on me that stuck with me.

And it created this sexual, this, this thing that I still have to this day.

Holy crap.

Yeah.

I never, when I shoot a scene, I, but, bro, I'm telling you, I swear to you, I never look at it like, oh, shit, man, I got to shoot this.

Yeah, I got to shoot this scene today.

All right, here we go.

No, I look at every scene.

I always get up for it.

I get excited like it's the first one, you know, and

I still got that.

That mindset's important, right?

Got to have that.

Anything to do, not just sex, but

yeah, all aspects of life.

But, you know, I'm also careful now because, you know, you you can, I mean, too much of one thing can be a bad thing.

You know, even something as great as sex.

So I've never been a shoot every day kind of guy.

So I try to, you know, shoot, rest up, recharge so that I'm fresh.

For you know.

Did you ever struggle with that addiction with sex, like a sex addiction?

Or a porn addiction?

Well,

I wouldn't say I struggled with it, but I had it.

I was a huge fan of porn before I got into it.

Yeah.

Massive.

And so it's funny because Christy Canyon, okay.

Christy Canyon, who's a legend in the industry, and she's someone I used to crush on in the 80s,

back in like 89.

And so I always loved Christy Canyon.

What's not to like?

You know, those huge natural, you know,

you know what I mean?

And she's just beautiful.

And here it is, decades later.

I get hit up by Christy.

No way.

Now, she hadn't shot in like, she told me, she said, I haven't shot in like 20 years, but she said, my fans keep telling me, I got to work with you.

And so I was like, yeah, you know what I mean?

I was like, yeah.

And I'm like, okay, but damn, that was like decades ago.

Let me make sure I'm signing up for, you know, and no, she's still great, still looks fantastic.

And so Christy Canyon, when I did shoot with her, that really was like a, like a dream scenario.

Oh, I love that.

Couldn't believe it, man.

Your dreams came true.

For sure.

Wow.

Yeah.

I didn't discover it till I was in high school.

Okay.

Born.

Right.

15 years old.

So you discovered it at seven.

Wow.

That's first grade, man.

So, yeah.

I mean, so who, was there anyone in particular like that you were big on?

Back then it was Riley Reed.

Okay.

I shot with her.

Yeah.

And I think Lana Rhodes was big on it.

I shot with her.

Yeah.

A couple times.

Yeah.

But 15 discovered it on accident.

Okay.

Yeah.

How'd that happen?

I just started masturbating on accident.

Gotcha.

I didn't even know what it was.

Right.

Is that crazy?

You're going to say both?

Of course.

I think most guys have that thing of like

you discover something.

You know what I mean?

And it's kind of like, man,

if only everybody knew what I was feeling.

You know what I mean?

This is like my secret.

But come to find out, it's just a natural progression.

And yeah, I mean, I'm sure we're in the same boat.

I was beaten off to everything.

I remember telling my friends the next day, like, yo, I discovered porn.

They're like, dude, I knew that four years ago.

Like, what do you talk about?

Right, right.

You know, right, like 10, 11 years old.

For sure.

Crazy, man.

Yeah.

But now it's everywhere.

I mean, it's unavoidable with social media.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, back in the day, like when I was younger and porn was very hard to get access to.

Yeah, just magazines, right?

It was magazines.

And then when the VHS, when that whole thing came along,

you would go to like a video store just to whether you wanted to rent, you know, Purple Rain or whatever back in the day.

And you'd be like, hey, where's the adult section?

Oh, it's back there in the corner.

There's a curtain in front of it.

You know, you walk walk in.

Is there an anal section?

Oh, yeah, that's the last rack.

The last rack.

Now, look at it.

It's so accessible.

Anal's like a big thing.

Yeah.

Anal's a huge thing now.

I shoot a lot of anal, but back then, so my whole thing is that now, I mean, it's as big.

It's bigger now than ever.

Yeah.

I mean, it's everywhere.

You go on Twitter, you go on Instagram, any platform.

There's some soft porn on there.

Can't get away from it.

And they funnel you into their OF now.

For sure.

Yeah.

And that's, you shoot your own content now, right?

Yeah, I'm shooting my own stuff.

and it's been going well.

It's taken off.

I'm really, really happy about it.

It's a unique style that I shoot.

You know, some people will critique it and go, I shoot too close.

But I like that because it separates my stuff from what everybody else is doing.

And again, put the emphasis on the girl.

If you got some great action, a great setting, a great aesthetic, you can't go wrong with that.

Yeah.

What content do you get asked to shoot the most?

Anal.

Anal, really.

Anal is the thing.

You know, and look, for me,

look, I'm like, sometimes I wake up and I'm like, man, what did I do to deserve this life?

When I'll look and look at emails and a girl will say, look, I've been training my ass for you.

I'm just like, okay.

I love that.

You know what I mean?

And I think I could do it.

And I'm just like, okay.

And I'm, I'm, I'm open to give.

I mean, I've shot with a lot of girls who are like new, fresh out the gate, and they want to come out strong and make a name for themselves.

And so I'm all in, you know?

Wow.

Yeah.

She's good enough looking and all that stuff.

And let's go.

Let's do it.

How does one train their ass for that?

A lot of stretching.

Stretching.

How do you even like actually stretching the whole part, I guess?

Yeah, stretching the whole part.

I think, you know,

training with.

uh larger size dildos see now that the official dong is out there you know because i used to they'd say well what could i do to train and i had nothing to just use your largest size toy.

Yeah.

You know, but now the thing is, you know, get the dong because the dong is accurate.

Look, the length is exaggerated, but, you know, I'll be honest about that.

But the girth and the shape is exact.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Because they took a mold, right?

It's a mold.

Yeah.

And that's a whole process.

You know, I didn't even know anything about it, you know, but you put it in this big bowl and somebody's whipping up the batter like witch's brew and they take it and pour it on their own, you know, and you have to maintain an erection through all

for how long?

I would say about maybe five or 10 minutes.

That's actually long though on your own.

Yeah.

Because you're not allowed to touch it.

So it's actually.

Not allowed to touch it.

You got to stand there and they're pouring this stuff on your junk.

Now, the good thing is, is it, it, it, it goes fast.

Yeah.

So, and even if you start to lose it, once they get it, you're good.

Got it.

You just have to be strong when they pour that stuff.

So did you have nude girls around you while you were doing it to keep it?

It was all mental.

You know what I had to do that day, dude?

I had to take it back to like when i was a kid you know where there were no visuals and i was just in my mind you know like think of you know a teacher a hot teacher i had you know what i mean and she told me to stay after one day and we started around so i really had to go to the into the mental bag and just kind of get there.

Wow.

Yeah.

You had to lock in.

Had to lock in.

Sometimes you have to do that, though, right?

During during scenes.

Yeah, you do.

Now, and that's, that's one thing about this that

that's why when we were talking about it earlier, you really got to try to establish some kind of a rapport or hopefully like I was never big on

You know, like if you show up on set and the male talent goes this way the female goes that way and then when you come out here we go I always like to try to hey, how's it going?

Hey, I've been looking forward to that, you know, just to get something going.

Right.

You know, and that helps.

As far with me, that helps a lot.

Add that personal touch.

For sure.

Yeah, I agree with that for sure.

Are you a fan of any toys?

Like, I want want to hear your opinion on some of these, like, like the flashlights or anything like that.

I'm not particularly,

I'm not going to say I'm particularly a fan of any of them.

Um,

but I mean, I've shot with girls who, you know, let's say if we're shooting an anal scene, say, hey, you mind if I just use this on myself while you're in, I'm no problem.

And it could be anything, you know, some of those little stimulating, I can't remember what you call those things, but, or it could just,

yeah, something like something along those lines, or the the the the wand the hitachi

never heard that one no the hitachi

or something yeah it's like a long kind of you know vibrating thing and so um you know they say it helps you know the cause so i'm not me

personally i'm not uh there isn't a toy that um

maybe those beads i remember back in the day the anal bead used to be a thing yeah but it's not really a thing anymore i don't see too many people right i don't see that anymore yeah yeah i tried the auto blow when i was in like college.

I didn't like that one.

Oh, really?

Have you tried that one?

I have not tried that one.

Yeah, it didn't feel that good.

Really?

Yeah.

They're probably better by now.

Right.

They're coming out with all these sex robots.

And oh man,

Harry, dude, have you been seeing some of that stuff?

I've been seeing them.

Bro, I'm from the days where

the sex doll was just like, you know, with the mouth open wide, you know what I mean?

And you're sitting there.

You carry it.

You know what I mean?

But now, I just saw something the other day.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

She's the facial expressions, skin feels like

body movement, you know?

And I'm like, wow, yeah, we finally got to that place, man, where, yeah, technology is a beast, man.

I mean, there's a lot of people struggling to get laid these days.

I know.

And this is going to help that.

This is going directly.

at that group i mean of guys who just have no there's no hope anymore so one of these sex doll and they talk to you different languages i couldn't believe what i was seeing couldn't believe it i'm telling you i saw it just the other day i know what you're talking about though because my dad had the original one where it's just like it's heavy man Right.

It's carried upstairs.

Yeah.

And it's expressionless, and it's just got the mouth wide open with the eyes popped open wide.

And I'm like, who?

Who wants to mess with that?

You know what I mean?

Yeah, he got it.

He was pumped to show me.

And I'm like, this is whack.

Yeah, man.

From China.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah, but who knows what the future will be.

I've heard 40% of like young guys are virgins these days.

It's tough, dude.

I mean, look, you know, the whole thing, what's that called?

The VR, VR porn.

Yeah, virtual reality.

Virtual reality.

I was not that familiar with it, right?

And I bought the, I think the one I got was Oculus.

And I just got it because people were, you know, I kept seeing people, you know, having these reactions while they had it on.

So I was like, I want to see what this is about.

So I got it and I didn't really mess around with it.

But then one day something came over me and I said, let me see what this VR porn looks.

As soon as I saw it, I was like, oh, man, yeah.

It was that good.

Oh, dude, that's.

It's like you're right there.

Wow.

Yeah.

And the way it's shot, like, again, I've never shot VR porn.

I've never done it.

But I've seen it, it's like you're in the room.

It's a very almost like intimate kind of setting.

And you look up and you're in that room.

So for guys who there's where there's no hope, they'll be sitting there watching this shit

all day, all night.

I can see that, man.

Yeah.

How did the rise of OF affect your business?

Did it take a toll?

Game changer.

Game changer for me.

And I, you know, look, it's for me personally,

I was at that time like,

I need to start generating some more, some income.

Right.

I mean, and what I was making shooting was fine, but I wanted more.

And so I had fans going, when are you going to start this OnlyFans thing?

This was 2018.

And I remember at the time, I was dismissive of it.

I was like, man, fuck that.

I don't got time for that.

Content creator, I'm not that guy.

I go on set and shoot.

Forget that.

And they kept asking, man, you got to do this OnlyFans thing.

You can make all this money.

And so that went on for like six months.

And then finally, one day I was hanging out with this girl and she said, Do you do this OnlyFans thing?

And I said, no.

I said, do you do it?

She's like, no.

She's like, but I just started when I was like, me too.

It's like, you want to do?

I said, okay, we'll do a little something.

And we just propped up a camera, you know, and put it in the corner.

And we just started doing some stuff.

And I remember I posted it and I looked at the phone and I was like, yeah, just like I thought, this is nothing.

And then I did it again.

And I was like, what a freaking waste of time.

I'm giving up.

I don't need this.

And then it started, it caught on.

And this was before, right before COVID.

And I remember going, hmm, you know, I started, kept looking at it and it kept going up and going up and going up.

And I was like, whoa, this is a game changer right here.

And then I just, it got to a point where it was doing so good.

I said, you know what?

I'm going to turn this into something.

Yeah.

I'm going to start putting money back into it, which is why when I shoot, like I want it to be a really nice quality production.

So whether it's hair and makeup, whether it's not so much a location, I got that covered.

But I started just putting money back into it because like I wanted to make it as big as possible.

And so that just like, man, that huge, huge for me.

Yeah, the timing was great because pandemic, everyone was inside.

Exactly.

And I'm sure with most people, when the pandemic came, the numbers skyrocketed.

And I think it kind of, you know, afterwards, it kind of levels out a little.

But I'm thankful that I've had and I still have like true fans who are like look dude we're with you no matter what you know and I'm just like wow man I really appreciate that I love that is your fan base mainly woman or is it male great question man it's um and people ask me that and I it's a it honestly is a little bit of everything you know um

I don't I don't really have a lot of a lot of gay I have I'm sure I do have a lot of gay fans but not because I don't I don't do anything to cater there.

Like a lot, one thing that um people are big on with only fans are like customs yeah i've had a lot of guys going man can you just jerk off and say my girlfriend's name a few times what's your price you know and i'm like i don't have a price dude i i don't really do that i've never done that but i get asked about that all the time you know the the solo i think i've done a solo one or two times okay so you don't like solos i i just don't you know i i want to just give them the complete package you know which is how i run it scenes you know clips from scenes.

I just don't, like I said, I've done it maybe a custom, I mean, a solo like one or two times.

It's just not my thing.

Yeah.

What's the most you've been offered money-wise for something?

Oh, man.

Sky's a limit.

Yeah.

Sky's a limit.

Yeah.

I mean, just nothing like, I mean, I'm not talking any ridiculous amounts, like half a million dollars or anything, but, you know, like,

you know, five, $10,000 to just jerk off and just say either their wife or their girlfriend's name, bust a load to them, and away we go.

Wow.

Yeah.

I've heard some crazy offers to some females.

Oh, the females get it like there's no tomorrow, man.

I've heard of some being flown out to Dubai,

shitting on people's chests,

making 25 grand doing that.

Jesus Christ.

Isn't that nuts?

Yeah, man.

No, it's that's that's the world we're in.

That's the world we're in now.

We're there.

We're not on our way there.

We have officially arrived.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nothing probably phases you at this point, though.

Nah, I've, you know, I've kind of seen it all.

I mean, some things do still surprise me when I see certain content that people are big on.

Yeah.

Whether it's like, you know, puking.

Puking.

Throwing up.

Yeah, that's a thing.

Whoa.

The throwing up thing.

I don't get it, but there is demand for it.

I don't get asked about it because people know I don't do that.

But when I see things like that, I'm like, wow, we're really taking it someplace we've never gone before.

You know what I mean?

So the puking,

like you said,

the crapping and all that kind of, you know, so

we're here, you know?

Yeah.

Has, has, because you've been in it for what, 20 years now?

I've been, well, I started in 2009.

2009, so 19, 20, about 20 years.

I mean, it's something like, you know, I don't, but it's deceptive because again, I took that break.

Yeah, yeah.

And a lot of people don't know I took that break.

So they, you know, dreads the OG, man.

He's been in this forever.

When I'm like, well, in reality, when you really total up the amount of years I've been doing it, it's not that long, but still,

about 15, 10, 15 years, something like that.

Have you seen like what goes viral change frequently or is it kind of consistent for the most part?

You know, I'm going to tell you something, man.

I don't,

if I, if somebody I'm shooting with, and if it, it goes and it gets a lot of clicks and all that and fine.

I don't, I'm, I don't aim to do that because I feel like now you're going to be in a constant

vacuum of like, okay, now what could I do?

Right.

Now, how can I, how can I top that?

You know what I mean?

So I'd rather, I'm the type to rather just keep it a steady flow of like okay we know his stuff's going to be good it's going to be solid but again if it if that happens if the virus that's fine i'm not obviously not against it but i just feel like for me i'd rather just keep it like even keel yeah you know because i just don't want to feel like well now what do i have to do you know how am i going to top that you know that's actually so smart because you see that issue with social media people where they're constantly thinking of crazier and crazier ideas to do and then they end up in a car crash or something yeah I've been seeing a lot of that kind of stuff lately, man.

And it's like, look, we got to ease up a little bit.

You know what I mean?

Is it worth your life?

You know what I mean?

Is it worth dying over?

But I don't know.

I mean, again, just like it's changed my life, I'm sure it's changing so many people's lives, you know.

Absolutely.

Would you ever go a podcast route or some other form of content?

I've thought about it.

I've definitely been giving it more so lately, giving it more consideration.

So, yeah, I would, I've entertained that.

Yeah, you got a great personality for it.

People tell me, man, you know, I mean, when I was way back in the day, when I was in college, my major was communications, and I was like, I'm going to do something.

People would say, you got to do something with that voice.

You know what I mean?

That voice is just so, and I was like, okay, but that didn't work out.

And so here we are in a day and age where podcasts have become like a huge thing.

And so I'm like, well, maybe this could be my calling now.

Because look, I'm not going to be, you know,

doing pumping out content for, you know, I got a cutoff plan.

My cutoff plan is

probably like 60.

Okay.

Get to 60.

You say it was a good run.

And then now it's time to, you know, transition into something else.

And podcasting could be it.

Yeah.

It's cool to see you plan that far ahead, actually.

Yeah, man.

When you first started, there was a lot of shame around the industry, right?

Absolutely.

A lot of guilt.

A lot, a lot.

And I think it's still there to a degree.

But, you know, back then, porn was like, I mean, it's so much more accepted now.

Yeah.

Back then, it was like this, like a dirty thing.

I was scared to even tell people I watched it back then.

Because people would be, you know, critical of you.

They'd be like, man, what the hell are you doing?

And I didn't want to hear that.

I'm like, I'm just having fun.

You know what I mean?

So, but we've gotten out of that place.

And that's, I think, just thanks to, because it's just been just like a barrage.

I mean, the floodgates have officially been opened.

You know what I mean?

You've got there's people wanting to shoot, there's content creators from all different makeups and different ages when it comes to

sex work.

You know, you've got people who were formerly teachers and doctors and EMTs who have now decided, you know what, I want to make more money.

I want to be able to support my family.

doing what I was doing previously wasn't cutting it.

So now I'm doing this.

And you know what?

I don't care what people think.

So I think we've gotten so much of that that now it's become way more accepted, man.

And so I think what I'm getting at is that now is like the best time.

If you're the sex work, content creation, whatever it is,

now is the time to kind of spread your wings and kind of get into that.

Similar with video games, too.

There was a lot of shame playing those growing up.

And now people are making a living.

That's right.

Video games.

I remember parents used to like yell at kids.

I used to get yelled at for playing, you know.

But now it's like, yeah, go play some video games.

For sure.

Make a living.

making money.

Streaming, man.

Yeah.

Streaming.

The streamers are making the most right now.

Oh, yeah.

No, I know it.

I know.

I actually did

a little bit of Aiden Ross.

Oh, nice.

I went on there for

it was brief.

It was during the period where

first I was a little, I was opposed to it at first,

but it was during a period where Adam

22.

and Lena and the Jason thing, you know, and so they were on his stream.

So the gag was for me to, you know, go on and kind of, hey, I'm next.

That's fun.

They're like, you know, Aiden, okay, we got somebody who's coming on right now.

And he's, you know, so the thing was for me to come on.

Hey, listen, I'm ready.

Let's do it.

It never happened, you know?

But, but yeah, and I didn't know, because I didn't even know.

I was like, what is this streaming thing?

Yeah.

But now I know.

Well, I will say this about Adam.

He's breaking these stigmas, you know?

Yeah.

Because he got a lot of hate on that one, but he made a ton of money.

I'm sure he did.

I mean, there's rumors of five millions floating around.

No shit.

Yeah.

Crazy, right?

Yeah.

A lot of people were asking for it, but from what I know of Lena, I'm not.

I think I'm a little bit too much for her.

You know what I mean?

I know so.

100%.

If she struggled with Jason, you might.

Exactly.

Yeah.

You know?

And I had this vision.

My vision was like, yeah, listen, man, if I was to do this, I'd have them both come over and we would shoot and have Adam there kind of sitting in it.

Cause I mean, mean, if that was the direction of like, I don't want to say,

because he's not that whole cuck thing, you know, so it was just like a funny comedic thing in my mind, like where I was like, if this ever gets legs and if this ever happens, that would be my vision, but it never, we'll see, don't rule it out.

I'm not going to rule it out, but um, you know, she could train her ass, like we talked about.

She could train it, yeah, training it, shoving big things up there, you know.

You don't do male-male stuff, though, anyways, right?

Never did.

So, three ways off the table.

You know what?

And and when i was in the lifestyle there was a a a friend of mine a guy and he was tall big guy like me and uh we would go and just wreak havoc together you know what i mean and it was never a thing i mean i'm not homophobic in any way but there are people who have said because i haven't shot uh porn with another guy like hey what's dread's you know hang up with that it's no hang up i just i've done it i've i've been there and i would rather now that i'm in a position that I'm in to just shoot just me and the girl.

You know what I mean?

It almost happened.

I almost shot with another guy a couple of years ago, but that it didn't filter.

It didn't go.

You know, I was kind of on the fence about it.

And the guy who was going to do it was kind of on the fence about it.

So that equaled

who was going to shoot it.

In his mind, that equaled, this isn't a good idea.

Because I wasn't gung-ho.

I was kind of like, eh, if you really, if you want me to, you know, I've done it before, you know, and the other guy was the same way.

So it just didn't work.

It would probably affect the performance, right?

Because then you're in your own head.

I mean, it could, but again, I mean, I've done it.

I just, I would rather, I've, my whole porn career has revolved around just me, Dredd, the brand, everybody I've shot for, it's always been me being featured, you know.

And so I, in my mind, felt like, you know, shooting with somebody else.

I'm not going to say I felt like it would taint it, but I was just never really up for it.

I knew, I know what you mean.

Yeah, do you know how many views you're at now?

It's in the billions, right?

It's got to be something crazy.

Oh, like on Pornhub?

Like, overall, yeah.

Yeah, it's got to be.

I mean, on Pornhub, I've I mean, like, um, I think Angela White, this, what I shot with her was probably like

25 million views.

We won an award for that just on that one video, just on that one, holy crap, um, Kiss Assins.

Um,

the content I shot with her, I think, is like 30 million or something crazy like that.

Um, so pornhub, yeah, and and girls that you know, they want to put the content on there, and I'm happy you know that it does as well as it does, which is cool, but yeah, I would say it's it's it's pretty much up there.

That's nuts, and now certain states are banning it.

Have you seen that?

That's what I've been hearing, yeah.

So, the views probably won't be as good as they used to be, probably not.

I mean, I think everybody's kind of you know waiting on the edge of their seat to see.

I think there is going to be

something coming our way that content creators and sex workers are not going to like.

I think it's going to happen.

I don't know

to what degree, but I think they're going to try to crack down and really go after whether it's OnlyFans or whatever.

I just got a feeling something's coming.

Really?

Yeah.

That's not good because you've seen a lot in the space.

So the fact that your gut's telling you that.

My gut's telling me something.

And I don't know if it's because of, you know, like what you just mentioned, Pornhub is now like, you can't watch it in certain states.

You know what I mean?

So when I first saw that, I was like, oh, man, you know, that's, you know, something, something's going to happen.

Yeah.

And I, again, I don't know.

I, I, I don't know what form it's going to come in, but I feel an attack is, is imminent.

Damn.

Yeah.

That's scary.

Well, there's always been so much hate thrown towards the OF creators in particular.

I mean, you go on any post, the comments are hating on these girls.

Oh, yeah.

It's actually wild.

You know what, man?

I'm all, I'm pro.

Go do your thing.

You know what I mean?

If it's something that's going to change your life for the better, why not?

You know what I mean?

Okay.

So some people could go, well, sex and, you know, you shouldn't be doing that from a moral

screw moral.

You know, we just got through this pandemic.

People are hurting right now.

And if there's a street to go down for women specifically to

do better, you know, much better financially.

Go for it.

Yeah.

That's why I'm do your thing.

Absolutely.

Did you ever get hate like that?

Like any hate comments or no, man.

I've never, it's always been, I mean, they love it.

My fans, they

I really don't get a lot of negative, you know, I don't get a lot of negativity coming my way for anything.

Um,

you know, but uh I see some people who do and I'm all you can do is shake your head.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think as a guy, it's different, right?

Very much so.

I mean, there are, there are guys, I mean, myself,

other guys, you know, big name guys who are doing, doing

really well.

And, but for the most part, again, it's a it's a woman's thing.

It's a female's thing.

Yeah.

You don't film every day, you said, right?

No, not every day.

Never been an everyday guy.

I've tried to, ideally for me, two or three times a week is ideal.

You know, give me a couple days to kind of recharge.

You know what I mean?

And I'm good to go.

Wow.

So you're having more sex off-camera then.

You know something, man?

I'm going to reveal, and I've revealed this before.

I don't have a lot of sex off camera.

What?

Yeah, no, I don't.

I used to be that guy, but now I'm more like

with the content, with what I'm shooting.

And I'll, you know, I'll have set, but it's nowhere near what people may think.

Damn.

Okay.

No, no, no, no, no.

Well done, man.

Well, dude, this has been awesome.

I can't wait to see what you do next.

I really do think you should start a pod, dude.

I think you'll crush it.

You know what, man?

It's something I'm going to seriously look into, give it some serious consideration.

And yeah, people have told me, so I may just ride that wave and start doing it.

Yeah.

I mean, shout out to our mutual friend, Ryan Powenall.

Ryan, yeah, he's crushing it.

So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

I just, I just was on it maybe a week or two ago.

I saw that, yeah.

I mean, if he can give you some guidance, I'm sure you'll kill it.

Yeah, yeah, man, for sure.

Yeah, well, thanks for coming on, man.

I appreciate it.

We'll link your social media handles.

Yeah.

Okay.

My handles, that would be just Dread XXX on X, formerly Twitter.

OnlyFans, same thing, Dread XXXX.

And watch out for the official DreadX

website, which should be launching in early early March.

Link it below.

Thanks for popping on.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

See you guys.

Yep.
