WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Jason Sechrest's seven-year-old website JasonCurious has been nominated for two Cybersocket Web Awards in the categories of Best Adult Blog and Best Personality.
Sechrest, a 10-year veteran of the adult entertainment world who has worked as a host, publicist, print journalist, red carpet reporter and blogger, also is interviewed in the November 2008 issue of Cybersocket Magazine.
JasonCurious was launched in 2001 to bring the straight and gay porn worlds together in one place on the Web for news and gossip, featuring photos and video content of favorite porn stars. In the age when Jenna Jameson was becoming a household name, JasonCurious offered new porn fanatics a place where they could find everything they ever wanted to know about their favorite porn stars - straight, gay, male and female - from the boy who was friends with all of them. Since then, Sechrest has parlayed his success as a Web reporter into being a host, interviewing porn stars on his award-winning radio shows, Web-based TV shows, behind the scenes DVD series and most recently at several successful weekly porn events at nightclubs in the greater Los Angeles area.
At the end of the day, he's still doing the same thing: Getting fans closer to porn stars than they've ever been before.
JasonCurious boasts two blogs, a personal diary account of Sechrest's life at and a news and gossip desk.
Last year, Cybersocket Magazine quoted columnist Billy Masters saying, "Since Matt Drudge's blog, the floodgates have opened for everyone. When it came to gay porn, Will Clark was probably the first to utilize this new medium to its fullest. Jason Sechrest turned it into an industry."
Sechrest was typically effusive about the nominations.
"Congratulations to all of my fellow nominees in both categories for Best Adult Blog and Best Personality, many of which I read daily and some of whom are even my closest friends," he said. "In fact, I'm especially proud to share this honor in both categories with one of my best friends, RentBoy's Brandon Baker. If you happen to have two email addresses and can sneak in voting twice, vote for us both. But if you only vote for one person, make it him. I've won so many awards over the years, but this is his first time being nominated for anything like this and I really want to see him win."
Sechrest was awarded two Cybersocket Web Awards in 2004 and has been nominated every year since his site's debut.
He appeared on the cover of the magazine in 2005 and remains one of the only non-porn stars to have achieved that honor.
Cybersocket Web Awards voting occurs online.
