When I reach Jacob Slader by phone, the new bad boy of gay porn has just ordered an "Ultimate Extreme Vanilla" coffee from Starbucks. "It's like a Frappaccino, but with extreme coffee flavor and extreme coffee taste," he says with a laugh.
"Extreme" is a good word to describe Slader. One of gay porn's freshest faces, the tattooed youngster with the bad-boy persona has quickly risen up the ranks of newbies to snag roles in movies with Falcon, Titan, Unzipped Video, All Worlds, Red Devil, and Rascal, and has garnered a fan base of horndogs all too eager to see this hot new stud in action.
Indeed, one look at the opening scene between Slader and Bobby Williams in John Bruno's 8 Simple Rules for Doing My Son (All Worlds), and it's clear to see: Jacob Slader is one hot top. A total top, to be clear. (Yes, sad as it may be for the more versatile among you, Slader is all about being serviced, and he's not afraid to admit it. But we'll get to that in a bit.)
A teacher by day (he teaches English, writing, and grammar at an undisclosed university in Southern California), Slade – who likes to refer to himself as a "Sex Motivator" as opposed to a porn star ("I don't believe porn stars exist anymore," he posits) – is that rare breed of adult model who actually has a master plan for his career.
"I don't want to just take whatever comes my way," he says. "I want to do the things that are different—stuff that stands out." Having recently completed what he says is a "dialogue-heavy but very cool" movie for Jett Blakk (best known for his darkly sinister, plot-focused "noir" flicks), Slader says he is now looking to branch out on his own and offer some of his own content on his personal site, JacobSlader.com. But don't just expect to see the usual parade of tired boy-on-boy sex. Slader, who admits to being bisexual and a major fan of straight porn, says the content on his site is going to be rather well, extreme. "I'm all about extremes," he says mischievously. "I like to see how far extreme can extend itself."

Of course, time will only tell whether this ambitious young buck will have what it takes to play with the big boys of porn, but during our lengthy and humorous chat, it became clear that this scrappy pup is all about running with the big dogs.
Ken Knox: So, your website seems to be growing these days. Why the change from free site to membership site?
Jacob Slader: The free site was just something I did on my own, and it was mostly with the idea of eventually becoming a membership site. The blog is still free—it's its own domain, but still linked to my site. The blog is really what I spend the most of my own time on. I just think there isn't really anything else out there like that. A few are doing it, but I don't know, I just thought it would be cool to show the world that there are some of us in porn that do have brains. (Laughs.)
What's your favorite part about having a website?
I guess I actually get to interact more with the people who watch what I do. I do a live web chat twice a week, and I get to actually see who the people are that are interested in Jacob Slader, talk to them, do what they want, and find out who my fans are.
Speaking of the live cam sessions, what kinds of things do people ask you to do? Anything especially naughty?
So far, no. They seem to chat among themselves while I just kinda show off. (Laughs.) They really like the idea of me having sex with a woman on there, and eventually a man. And I'm into that.
Jacob Slader: Bisexual Porn Star.
Yeah. I actually like to call myself "holesexual." If it has a hole, I'll have sex with it. (Laughs.)
You just like to stick your dick in things, don't you?
Um, yeah. (Laughs.)
Nice. I see that you're planning on adding some additional features as well. What can people expect to see from the site in the future?
I'm definitely adding video clips, like 25–30 minute video clips, like twice a month. These are things that as my own filming experience grows will become better, but I enjoy POV straight porn, and I like the way straight porn is shot a little better, so I'd like to do that a little more with gay porn. A little less lovey-dovey and just a lot more insertion. That's what turns me on, so … (Laughs.) And I'd like to have some bi stuff on there as well. There's not a whole lot of that on the Web.
What's the Fetish Revival all about?
I have certain fetishes that I would like to explore on my own and document it, sort of like a fetish video diary. I have a smoking fetish, I have a foot fetish, I have a bondage and S&M fetish, but with no leather—no dressing up. I have a fascination with guys talking about sex while they're smoking cigarettes naked. Not necessarily jacking off, but just being guys talking about pussy or ass. That's hot to me. And I enjoy deep trust play between bottoms and tops. I really believe in bottoms and tops; I don't believe in versatility too much, and I want to explore that and what it really means. Kinda like MSR Videos, where you're not really degrading the bottom; you're giving him his own voice. I like that there's a trust involved where both are kind of taken somewhere.
When are you going to start offering those on the site?
I've already done a couple videos that I'm working on editing and cleaning up right now before I put them up on the site. They're not full videos, but they can later be compiled and sold in video form.
You're still relatively new to the business. What do you think of it so far?
I think it's great. I really enjoy the gay side. I would like to work on the bi side and even on the straight side if that's possible, but they're probably a little homophobic over there. I think gay porn is a little catty sometimes, but it's fun.
You seem to have cultivated a bad-boy persona very quickly, like you were prepared for it. Is porn something you've been thinking about for a while?
Yeah. I definitely thought about who Jacob Slader was before I started, like the whole total top thing. For the first time, I've been able to express that side of myself sexually and be OK with it. For a long while, I thought I was being selfish or rude by wanting to get serviced and demanding that I only top. I felt guilty about that as a gay man, like I wasn't giving my partners enough. And suddenly, as I got closer to 30, I started meeting guys who were OK with that and thought it was hot. So now I feel like this is part of myself—kind of bad boy-asshole (Laughs.) that I'm allowed to express, and that is actually wanted by others.
I don't want to reciprocate. I'll reciprocate when I fuck you. I feel like I've been validated enough to be able to do this. Because I don't want to be hated—I'm not an asshole. But I do like certain things and I'm picky, and I expect certain things from sex. I think I give it everything that I have when I'm having sex; otherwise I wouldn't try. I'd rather just not have sex than have bad sex.
How did you come to give your cock the nickname of Thumper?
(Laughs) That was actually given to me by a girlfriend in college. I have a habit of banging my dick against things, like table tops, shoes, rocks—
Faces...
...faces, the back of people's heads, whatever. And if I ever have a problem getting hard, that's all I have to do. Just whack it on something. And I like to punch it and slap it around also. So she called it Thumper.
Nice. Has anything about the business surprised or shocked you yet?
No, not really. There's been no request that I've encountered that has been too weird for me. (Laughs)
Have you told your parents yet?
Um, no. (Laughs.) I don't know how they would feel about it. My friends know. It's not really an issue. My girlfriend knows, obviously, and so does my boyfriend. (Laughs.)
Jesus. You're a busy dude!
Well, I don't really have a boyfriend. He's more like a fuck buddy. And my girlfriend is a really close friend who I like having sex with. But I'm not in love.
Yet, you're a teacher. If one of your students wanted to sleep with you, should he bring you an apple or ask you for some after-school help?
Well, my students tend to wear just sweat pants to class with no underwear underneath, so if they just kept on doing that... (Laughs.) And they're all these hot Spanish and German boys who are all above age, so it's really hard to keep myself in teacher mode when I'm faced with that.
I bet. Who would you really want to do a scene with?
Bret Wolfe! I just had sex with him last weekend in Palm Springs, and I loved it. I want to do it again! We're keeping in close contact. He's right up my alley, and I want to be right back up his. (Laughs.)
Hot! What do you hope to accomplish in your porn career?
I hope to do some good, quality work. I like working with Jett Blakk, so I'd like to work with him again. And I hope my website kicks off once I get a lot more content on there. I have a lot of great ideas for it. You know, win a chance to service Jacob Slader!
Oh, I'll be entering that one for sure.
(Laughs.) Well, it's a chance for the fans to win something. I'm kind of going for that connection with them.
Any cool projects on your horizon?
Well, I'm going to actually be teaching a class this summer with this service called Oral Servicing For M, and we'll be teaching bottoms how to properly service tops orally.
You're kidding!
No. It's a six-week course, and the final is that the students need to blow each of the instructors twice. And I'm going to be documenting the whole thing for my website. I'm not sure how hot the guys are going to be, but it's going to be fun. I'm teaching a class with four other tops, and I'm the lead.
That's rad! I can't wait to see the movie.
Yeah, I think it's a great idea, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
So finish this sentence for me: My dick is to me like
Like Iraq is to Bush. (Laughs.) It's my baby, and sometimes it gets me into trouble. And it's a little explosive, but the idea is really great.
You can say that again!
