YOUR FAVORITE PERFORMERS TAKE TO THE BLOGOSPHERE
In today’s world, having a personal blog is just as important for a porn star as a good 8×10 glossy is to an aspiring model. Their blogs are a virtual billboard where they can hype their latest projects, post photos from their latest shoots, and interact directly with fans. It’s not uncommon for a popular blogger to have hundreds or even thousands of avid followers, and that can be a powerful PR tool. Some porn star bloggers like Jayden Grey, and Tiger Tyson tend to use their blogs mostly for promotional purposes, but others bloggers also use their blogs to share their opinions, interests, and fantasies with fans. Because it’s even more immediate than a blog, many porn stars are also avid Twitter users. Thanks to these new communications platforms, gay porn fans can now get closer to their favorite porn stars than ever before.
One of the most prolific porn star bloggers is Michael Lucas. His honest, lucid blog posts always get straight to the point and are often polarizing because of their frankness. Lucas regularly offers up everything from serious political commentary to photos, news about his latest projects, and humor. Fearless and intelligent, his blog is always interesting and has become extremely popular. You can also follow Michael Lucas on Twitter by searching for @LucasEnt.
Whereas Michael Lucas has an image that is almost iconic, Diesel Washington uses text as well as video to give his blog a more intimate feel, with the videos conveying aspects of his personality that you might not notice if he was only writing. You can often find him blogging about his porn work and he’s even done impromptu interviews with his co-stars.

Sometimes you want to know more about a porn star, but other times you just want to see some flesh! Most porn star blogs feature equal doses of cerebral and sexual content. Most porn stars frequently post studio press shots as well as personal snapshots on their blogs and some even post promo clips from their latest films. Mario Cruz is a porn star blogger who has been known to lavish his blog with a lot of great XXX photos.
We tend to get more interested in the blogs where porn stars reveal their true personalities. In some ways, having sex on camera can be less scary than simply being yourself. Dominik Rider is a blogger who’s even been willing to talk about his personal demons on his blog, which has undoubtedly meant a lot to the fans who have related to his experiences.
Sometimes it can feel a little naughty reading someone’s personal thoughts if they seem reluctant to share them. That’s never the case with Jeremy Bilding’s blog because he is rarely afraid to share.
