WHET Jake Cruise?

Do people still pay for porn?

Is there a fetishist market for what he's selling?

His business model started failing and then his long term life and business who was a director of a few local pageants in the la area had to step down because a story came out about the porn and connected the pageants with them.

Also, they got some large CAL OSHA fines for unsafe working conditions. Jake Cruise himself had a heart attack last year.

This is a clip of possibly the hottest video Jake did.

That should be life and business partner....

Poor Leo couldn't even watch Jake suck him. It was not a good experience for him. Take the money and run!

R6, but he loved it. He has a huge orgasm and cum shot at the end.

Thanks R3. I knew someone on DL would know.

The guy in the video at OP, David Taylor is curious.

He seems to come from a solidly middle class family and was a lacrosse player in college at Syracuse. Did a stint in the marines. Currently acts as an extra/bit player in legit films. Very good looking guy.

I think he had a huge drug problem r8. He closed down or made private all of his social media accounts because “David Taylor “ kept coming up. But he did do at least one mainstream d list horror movie using the David Taylor name and it shows up on his IMDb page.

Thanks R9

I guess it's to be assumed that many of these guys (say "David" from SeanCody, who was a D1 soccer player) who seemingly come from stable backgrounds and have the means to get a legit job (e.g., a degree from a decent college) likely have some sort of substance abuse problem.

^^I have learned all about the backgrounds of these various porn actors thanks to the DL Sleuth Squad

This site no longer updates - shame as they had some great Gay Daddy Porn - like Derek Anthony and Armond Rizzo

Goodbye and good riddance. His videos were disgusting.

Damn, David Taylor is hot

Jake and his partner are a good-looking couple!

He used to be a staple on DL.

R15, Jake looks so much better with his clothes on. Big improvement.

R9David Taylor real name Greg Duke had a bit part in American Sniper. BTW he was fucking Bradley Cooper and everyone on set knew it.

I always liked Jake's videos. There is something incredibly hot about a really fit younger guy having sex with an older out of shape guy.

American porn is so dull with the guys looking like they live at the gym or just turned 18, or both. I get that "porn is a fantasy" but some of us have a fantasy that involves regular looking guys.

If that's true R18, then Cooper is one lucky guy.

R19,same. I think Jake is repulsive as fuck but there is something really fucking sexy about him getting all these hot men naked and getting fucked by them, sucking them, kissing them, etc.

Agree R20. Who was the bottom you think? Brad?

[quote] David Taylor real name Greg Duke had a bit part in American Sniper.

So is David Taylor aka Greg Duke gay or gay 4 pay?

Jake Cruise is a perfectly attractive older man, but he's not a man I would be interested in watching have sex. His naked body does not turn me on.

Jake is Cuban. He was born in Cuba and moved to the United States as a young kid.

Here is younger picture of him when he still had all of his hair. Too bad he didn't do porn when he looked more like that.

R25, wow. I had no idea. And he looks totally different in that picture. I would have never recognized him.

R23 Whore must do as customer says. Sometime I must make sex with lady.

Here's is another younger picture of him. He looks closer to what he does now in this one.

He's now 62 years old.

I did think to myself "why does Jake Cruise not have that many darker latinos or black guys in his porn". If he's a white Cuban, that kind of explains that.

He looks like a man who should be hosting PBS shows at R15.

The hideous David Taylor did one scene for Jake's Straight Guys 4 Gay Eyes line, so he is G4P trash.

Greg Duke/ David Taylor has a certain Bruce/Catilyn Jenner je ne sais quoi.

R23` Waiting to "run lines " with Bradley Cooper

Duke is an ex-marine. Aren't they all.

R32, that's why I don't see him as attractive. He has a trans look.

Greg/David knows how to prime a weapon.

Smells like Cooper.

IMDB photo

Greg was on Passions and General Hospital. I remember him well.

Was this scene from GH?

God, he looks so trans.

He reminds me of Lady Gaga.

R42, it's like all the botox makes it hard for him to smile correctly.

He gave better head then Gaga

Jake Cruise carved out a lucrative niche: eldergays wanting to fantasize about sex with younger, hotter guys.

Mr Greg Duke is serious heterosexual actor. He finds gay sex repulsive. He is a man. He is not a thespian.

That hole looks busted in R37's photo.

Another opening another show.

R1 Be happy that someone is still paying for porn... otherwise it won't get produce for your pirating....

That's a look of pure joy in R48's photo!

At the gala premier of his blockbuster The Brides of Sodom

Remember the weird ass video where Bo Dean was his birthday present?

R51-Is that some tranny movie?

R52, yes, and everyone on the crew was sitting around and watching. WTF?! Apparently, Bo Dean was his favorite guy that he had sex with. But didn't Bo Dean get shot or something a few years ago and he's now critically wounded?

[quote]yes, and everyone on the crew was sitting around and watching. WTF?!

And the woman in that scene was Bo Dean's sister!

Waiting for the crew of Sniper to light his arsehole

Jake was lucky he didn't get sick from eating Zeb Atlas' weird looking hole. Matthew Rush got giardia from eating out Zeb. The tearful video of him talking about it was posted around the internet, including here on DL.

Bradley Cooper is the straightest man in America! How dare you imply some sort of relationship between him and David Taylor!

Madam the shadow is unbalanced under your left testicle.

Locked and loaded for Coop

R57 Doesn't Zeb have a chain of restaurants in Vegas? Thinking about his nasty hole makes me NEVER want to get within 10 miles of one of those places.

R58 Sure Jen

R61 Yes, he does. Lets hope he doesn't touch the food himself.

[quote[ And the woman in that scene was Bo Dean's sister!

Wow. That's really fucked up. Some families have no boundaries at all.

I really appreciate Jake Cruise. His was the first gay internet porn I ever say ( I remember it was him and Michael von Steel) and was never repulsed by his presence in videos. You could tell he had way with the models and they really liked him. Evident on the BTS footage. Unlike Corbin Fischer and Sean Cody, Jake convinced many of the hottest guys to do guy-guy instead propagating the trope that gay sex is disgusting like those other sites did. Nice to see he's happily partnered.

Love you Jake, you did a lot for young gay high school boys who (back then) had nowhere else to look.

BTW, Jake couldn't convince Johnny Castle (who went on to be one of the main go-to guys in straight porn) to fuck guys, on camera at least. I wonder if he'd be willing to dish on some of his old models now, given they've all retired.

The weirdest scene for me was the one Jake did with Josh Gatlin, a young looking twink from Kentucky that was supposedly a fan of Jake's and member of his website that wanted to do a scene with him. He seemed very uncomfortable on camera, but did go further than any other model had gone before with Jake. Passionately kissed and not only rimmed Jake but tasted his cum as well (two things that no other model on the site ever did to Jake - guess there wasn't enough money for them to go that far!).

Bradley's goons got to you, huh, Jennifer, at R58?

He FINALLY silenced you.

At least we got some good dish here. I'd never heard about Bradley Cooper and Greg Duke.

I don't find him attractive at all. He has the face of an ostrich.

[quote]Jake Cruise carved out a lucrative niche: eldergays wanting to fantasize about sex with younger, hotter guys.

I was in my late 20s when I subscribed to his site for a while. I wouldn't say I found Jake himself that hot but him together with these gorgeous younger guys I did find super hot. After a while it gets really boring to see two perfect Kens having sex with each other and Jake Cruise definitely brought some variety to that.

His site seems to still be up and you can buy membership just like before. The second most popular video there is Jeremy Bilding barebacking Jake. Jeremy of course is these days known as Ryan Driller and is a successful straight porn star. I actually didn't even realize he's been in gay porn before, nor that he'd fucked Jake Cruise without a condom. I even had a wank not too long ago watching in a straight threesome with a girl and Chad White. Chad is another hugely popular het porn star who got his feet wet in gay porn, doing at least one scene for BuzzWest where he got blown by two guys.

Chad used to be cool, saying he didn't want homophobic fans. He encouraged his gay male fans to get his OnlyFans to see his solo scenes.

Then he turned all Pizzagate/Illuminati/QAnon freak overnight. Something in the Bible made him think Trump is the Saviour suddenly.

R71, oh wow, how disappointing to hear. I was floored when I found out recently that Robbie Williams (from Take That) apparently believes in Pizzagate and talks about it in interviews. What the hell is wrong with these guys? I can only guess too much time spent online and too many drugs.

Interesting to hear what's happened to him. As for him and his site---obviously there was a market. There continues to be given the proliferation of intergenerational porn. Even in his heyday, some of the bear sites had performers even older than him.

Not surprising that he's "Cuban". The emigre were mostly well off and that straum of the society was overwhelmingly European, whereas everyone else was mixed or Black.

I felt bad for jake cruises partner who is pretty straight laced and conservative (not politically but conventionally). I think they’ve been together for 30 and the partner is well educated which made me wonder why he would stay with someone who choose to go into porn and have unprotected sex with dozens of men and putting their health at risk.

The partners name was part of their joint business venture though which was EKRA but he was only involved in it from a business standpoint and not the porn part.

David Taylor was escorting for several years after he quit porn as he was advertising on rentboy. Bo Dean is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot. The person who shot him was never changed because it was considered self defense and bo may have been trying to break into the house as the details were murky.

[quote] Bo Dean is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot. The person who shot him was never changed because it was considered self defense and bo may have been trying to break into the house

Wow. There goes his entire career. His looks were probably the only thing going for him.

David Taylor/Greg Duke was in an Abercrombie campaign shot by Bruce Weber in the early aughts so he had or at least could’ve had a mainstream modeling career since he’s conventionally handsome and tall.

R73 the bear sites had guys that were actually into each other at jake cruise a lot of the models couldn’t hide their repulsion about having to do a scene with him. I know he tried to launch an onlyfans site using some of his old material but it got very few, if any subscribers and he shut it down.

Most of his stuff is available for free online and like a lot of other companies he didn’t have the $$$ deal with piracy.

Bo Dean hadn’t been in porn for years prior to the accident and towards the end of his career he was looking rough.

There was a long DL thread about Bo Dean and his incident. His girlfriend even showed up trying to get people to donate to his GoFundMe account.

[quote] they got some large CAL OSHA fines for unsafe working conditions

let me guess. having to have sex with Jake on the job?

One thing I will say about Jake is that he always STD tested his models (and himself). That's probably one reason why he got so many really hot guys to work for him. Along with the higher than usual paycheck.

His partner is obviously ok with it and they most likely have an open relationship.

Bo Dean was hot at first, but started looking methy in his later scenes.

[quote]straight laced

Oh, dear.

Still love to know what the story behind Greg/David is.

Because that is a serious fall from D-1 lax star at Syracuse + Marines + A&F model with a Bruce Weber campaign behind you to gay porn star/escort.... and then back again to working actor.

Maybe he'll write a book one day

David Taylor lost a leg to an infection he caught from Jake Cruise.

He took off the mask and went back to being Tammy.

Bo Dean also escorted for a bit and got awful reviews. One client even said he feared for his life because Bo was crazy and methed out.

I mean, when your name indicates you are white trash, can you really be surprised?

Jake is gross and creepy, as are the videos.

Agree with R86, always found Jake Cruise porn to be creepy and gross and I assumed he was probably only appealing to guys who looked like him and fantasised about being able to fuck younger studs.

Glad to see all the love for David Taylor/Greg Duke. I whacked it to his videos many many many times back in the day. Both pretty and slutty and filthy at the same time. In other words: HOT. Bradley Cooper's a lucky guy.

oh Jake Cruise is repulsive.

I always found him incredibly unsexy. Just a neuter blank, like Big Gay Al from South Park. Which is a shame, because he had tons of videos with hot young men.

He should have just filmed a sexy daddy who portrayed him. But that would defeat the purpose: his chance to have sex with hotties (for money).

JAKE CRUISE SCENES WERE THEE epitome of a certain kind of fantasy! the plain looking out of shape older man who seduces (with money but that's not the point) much younger, better built, better looking men into sex! the audience for these scenes are just that, men who are like jake cruise who could NEVER (even with money?) get these guys and the other audience is men (like myself) who get off on seeing these young good looking men "straight acting", seduced into sex with someone like jake cruise, when jake cruise is the seducer, the one in charge of the sex and thus in charge of their sexuality. it's the ULTIMATE power control role reversal kinky fantasy come true!

Jake did a number of scenes, including some well known porn stars like brady jensen, jaxton wheeler, bo dean, etc, but the ULTIMATE regardless if you like him or not was ZEB ATLAS...

ZEB WAS/is and remains the best looking, obviously the best built man jake ever was with.....

seeing jake with zeb is the ULTIMATE INCARNATE of the whole fantasy power control sexual role reversal come true for many... the age difference, the body difference, the looks difference, the fact that jake remains clothed, while zeb the man who with one hand could physically swat jake away like a fly, is the one who is nude and is ordered around by Jake and "submissive" is a fantasy come true and beyond kinky dirty wicked hot!....

for me? 2 scenes stand out of the 2 scenes that zeb did with jake...

1) their 2nd scene called "zeb atlas massaged"..at the end after zeb has orgasmed, seeing jake lead zeb away to the shower by holding on to his still erection as they walk towards the shower! utterly hot hot hot! and jake saying "follow me" with zeb replying "oh i will!"....

2) their 1st scene called "zeb atlas serviced" when you see jake cruise furiously jacking zeb off into a spectacular orgasm and you zeb's face in utter orgasmic heaven pleasure with mouth open, loud groaning, half lidded eyes of incredible pleasure and ecstasy as he looks right into the camera and jake wickedly smiling at zeb's expression and actions with the look of "i got you stud!" is off the charts erotic and just that moment is the greatest moment of such a fantasy of a old unattractive man capturing and conquering a handsome younger musclebound stud!..

We haven't had any good "Brad Cooper is gay" threads is a while, lol, though all the many, posts about Cooper and David Taylor/Greg Duke in this thread are from a single poster who seems obsessed with that...

Still would love to know what was behind Taylor's fall from grace. Ex-Marine, Division 1 lacrosse player, a Bruce Weber campaign for A&F under his belt, and he winds up doing gay porn and ultimately escorting.

And not Falcon or even Sean Cody, but Jake Cruise who I can't imagine had much money to pay him given he didn't have a ton of subscribers

R87-- if you've been on Datalounge for any length of time, you'd know that's a pretty sizeable market.

Jake's name is Ric Alonso, it was widely reported back then about his connection to Miss America

Jake is so DUMPY and AVERAGE

Ah Jake Cruise. Back when I was a scared young homo in college who still refused to eat ass because its gross. Wars escalating in Iraq and while horseface John Kerry try to ouster Dubya. A dozen states try outlawed gay marriage. Nobody heard about Obama or Kardashian yet. And Jake Cruise with his signature "death stare" to the camera was a total boner killer.

Jake's LinkedIn page

The full video from OP at XHamster

His prayers came true!

Ah yes the most popular of those studios featuring owners that shouldn’t be in front of the camera but insists on thrusting themselves upon the viewer. It’s definitely to brag “look what you can’t have”. A genre of porn that proliferated the 00s era along with G4P. Most of the time they went hand in hand together.

Man were times back more self loathing for gays

If Jake was born in Cuba, as someone said upthread, why is he cut? Doesn't make sense.

Love those Cuban men! "Los hombres cubanos nunca me han fallado." (Translation: "Cuban men have never fail me.")

R100: Yikes, that should read, "Have never failed me."

I actually find Jake kind of hot. Love daddies like that

A cover for every pot R102

Jake cruise and his partner just retired to rancho mirage, like every other LA elder gay.

So no more videos from Jake??

R105.... gee, i hope not, there are plenty of handsome "straight" muscle men i so so need to see him capture and conquer!...

[quote] —Creflo Dollar

'round these parts we call him 'Cashflow Dollar'.

There hasn’t been new content on his site for years r105.

Bo Dean recently died, from complications of his condition.

I remember the escort review an earlier poster mentioned. The john really was afraid for his life.

Does meth just bring out what's already in you, or can it change personality?

There were three aspects I found appealing in JC's videos:

1. JC looked good for his age. He was always a good looking daddy in my eyes, even though I never was into the daddy type.

2. His videos usually looked 'un-staged' to me. I mean obviously they were, but they didn't look like it. Later Sean Cody, Corbin Fischer and alike fuck in some really weird positions, with guys hanging upside down a couch, lying with their head on the floor and feet high up... Who fucks like that? Jake Cruise videos always looked relatively normal, maybe a tad boring, but at least relatable. It's like 'even you can get a hot guy to fuck you'.

3. In his videos the participants always seem to have fun performing. At least he did, and usually his tricks as well. I prefer that much more over those angry grunts or pained grimaces where they seem to imply that the dick is huge, the bottom is tight, and being in pain means good sex. It doesn't. It's just one variety of many aspects of sex with guys.

I don’t know, but I always loved the scenes where he’s being fucked by those fit college boys. He seemed to be in genuine ecstasy, lying there like a fat hog with a big smile on his face while one of those tall young guys porked him.

Jake always seemed to really enjoy whatever was happening. He wasn't one of those pouty boys. Jake looked like he loved servicing and being serviced.

I enjoyed the straight guys for the gay eye videos he did where he’d get generally extremely hot guys to fuck a woman. The guy was usually really into it and the camera would focus on the guy.

r113 The new versions of that are Hot Guys Fuck (from the GayHoopla people) and SeeHimFuck, which always included lots of rimming action, for some reason.

The video at the OP's link is VERY deceptive. If you watch the whole thing, it takes 15+ minutes to get Taylor hard, and then can only stay hard if he's constantly being sucked off. Not sure how R19 or anyone can find that a turn on...Cruise is CLEARLY unattractive to these guys and they only did it for a quick $500.

On the other hand, here's Taylor with a hunk his own age. He's hard within minutes and stays so for the entire time.

isnt he now doing ftm scenes?

FTM? Fat tranny man?

R92, he and his partner are in a photo -- about the fifth one down the page at a wine-tasting event.

Hmm, in this interview David/Greg kind of left out the porn part...
