LOS ANGELES — Jake Waters, the 2022 GayVN award nominee for Best Duo Sex Scene and Best Newcomer, appeared on the "Wyatt! Podcast," which premiered on Saturday.
Waters also appears in Luxxxe Studios upcoming release Friends in Heat in the role of Troy Wheeler.
Wyatt O’Brian Evans writes in his description of the episode, “Utterly explosive. As you’ll discover during our exclusive sit-down, Mr. Waters—who radiates charm, energy, and joie de vivre—bares his soul."
“Shy, very anxious, and athletic,” Waters admitted. “Even though growing up I had a military background, there’s a lot I went through as a kid that I held in and didn’t tell my parents. It was just a part of my life that’s difficult to talk about.”
Breaking down slightly, but quickly regaining his composure, he continues, “I was molested at a young age. I’d been very outgoing, but then that happened, and I completely shut down.”
Fortunately, sports became that “pressure relief valve” Jake needed. “Some of my shyness left: I couldn’t be the shy guy on the sports field, you know.”
Next, he mentions his anxiousness. “It was just that I was very hesitant about moving forward, about meeting new people without exposing my past to them.”
Waters opens up about overcoming daunting obstacles that would have crushed others: a suicide attempt and date rape.
However, Waters decides to soldier on because he states, “My story is a story that needs to be told.”
Luxxxe Studios applaud Jake’s honesty in this interview and his willingness to talk about this subject matter.

Wyatt offered a warning that this installment of the podcast is "real and raw."
"I ask about Waters’ beginnings. Being that his stepfather was a military man, the family resided in various parts of the country. What was the adult performer like as a child Soon, this rapidly rising adult entertainer makes the heartfelt—and painful—admission that he experienced Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A). Jake shares all the personal and gritty details about his abusive relationship, which he was caught up in for years. At some point in our conversation, he becomes emotional and chokes up.
