Benjamin [gay porn fiend Griffin Barrows] discusses his character on "Hey Human"

Is he analyzing a porn movie? Seriously?

He sounds a bit schizo there, to be honest, and I love his scenes.

What the hell does that even mean? We have bi-curious gays and straights, so what could possibly be the reverse of either of those?

Yes, I think the syphillis had to be at CM. He said it was an oral scene during his first stint in porn. He started at CM, right, and CM does oral only "Serviced" scenes. Wonder who it was...

Oh, well. Another one I had hoped was well-adjusted is a schizo.

His natural gayvoice is so much more appealing than his fake-butch porn voice.

Benjamin comes from an extremely religious family and describes his experiences of going to a private Christian school. Sex ed involved wedding planning, child rearing and caring for a partner with a dementia.

He lost his virginity at 23 and thinks he'd be a terrible father, as is awful at relationships.

who cares? He is a whore

"gay porn fiend"???

A whore with a degree in English Literature and a flair for bakery. .

Oh, so he's going to end up getting into fisting. Great!

R10 Why do gay men have to be so nasty to each other?

R9, so why did he end up with doing porn? Can't he find a decent job with his "degrees" and baking skill?

R11, it's an inside joke that pastry chefs are into fisting. It has something to do with getting their hands greasy. Lighten up!

So, I listened to the podcast. I found it fascinating that Ben tries to compartmentalize Griffin, talking about himself in the third person. Further, that he made enough money working for Chaos Men to pay off his student loans, then reveals that the majority of the loans were from going to pastry school. Not that paying off your student loans isn't a laudable achievement. but to go into debt to learn how to bake? And then do nothing with that education?

I feel for him. He came from a strict religious family/background/school, and expresses dismay that he wasn't prepared for life. He touches briefly on his family and how they reacted first to him coming out (not well), then like it was no big deal that he went into porn. He doesn't seem to get that he's already damned to hell in his family's eyes, and the porn thing was just another minor strike after the big one.

He has a lot of growing up to do.

He has a bunch of iPhone vids on all the free sites of him blissing out sucking cock. Are those real or “acted”?

How old is he? Thirtyish or older?

He says he's 29 on the podcast. I read thirtyish as thirstyish lol.

He can try and separate "Griffin" all he wants but no one else ever will.

I’ve met him. He’s cute, friendly, and well-spoken, but his smile never reaches his eyes.

So true. Like with you where everybody considers you a douchebag while you don't see yourself that way.

He seems totally well adjusted and using porn as a means to an end. Like all the porn performers we admire so much here. I'm really glad for this insight into a man completely in control of himself.

Griff is adorable. People generally expect too much from these young lads. He's a porn star. I enjoy him for his adult entertainment. I'm not going to get into psychoanalysis on him.

Lost interest once I heard he's into women.

He’s a troll with a mole

He's gorgeous and seems to enjoy himself in his scenes, and even if that's acting, it's very hot.

He's into pussy? Gross. Next.

He needs to WERQ

I think "reverse bisexual" means he prefers guys but is curious about pussy.

He keeps dropping hints about wanting to be in a mmf 3 way but not fucking the girl - he knows he isnt sexually attracted to women but he has idealized straight men to such an extreme that he wants to take it to the next level. For all his self-reflection and insight, he seems oblivious to how damaging this obsession with straight men can be. Of course he can't maintain a healthy functioning gay relationship because "straight men" don't make good romantic partners for gay men...I had to stop watching his onlyfans stuff because it became so focused on married men cheating on their wives to the point where in some videos he would suck on a guys wedding ring and engage in weird dirty talk about how much better he is a sucking dick than the wife, etc. Not sexy....

Sow it or grow it

His latest obsession is gay-for-pay Brit Mr Billy Essex.

Respect.

Even though I'm a bottom, I enjoy watching Griffin at work.

No, you wouldn't want to spoil the fantasy, would you? Every time one of these guys' mug shots or death notices is posted here, I'm reminded to just enjoy them for their adult entertainment.

Isn’t this just what actors do? He’s playing a part. He separates the actions he takes as a model in a scene from his own personal life and identity.

Why is this “schitzo?”

Lots of really rigid people post here.

people are people so what do you do?

pop them in the pooper, r35.

I always picture him covered in piss, and that’s a turn-off.

He acts like he's a bit medicated in his iPhone videos.

He doesn't sound schizo at all in the podcast. Actually, I was surprised at how candid and articulate he was. Like someone else here said, Griffin is the product he sells, Benjamin is the real thing. How is that different from what everyone else in the public sphere does?
