E103 – Gay porn star human Benjamin/Griffin grew up in a close conservative family and all was “normal.” He was the shy handsome boy next door. Now he’s a writer, baker and porn star. Benjamin is also a graduate of a Chicago pastry school and he made me some of the most delicious macaroons I’ve ever eaten (and I don’t like macaroons!). This episode is definitely NSFW with adult content and explicit language. (1:31:23)

This is a super intelligent and authentic interview. Susan is insightful, curious, and open and Griffin (Ben) is honest and articulate about his experiences in the gay porn industry.

This is no surprise, most gay men grew up in anti gay super religeous families. which why we were so conflicted everyday of our lives. The main reason a lot of gays vote against gay rights, and bash other gays.
Hi Antonio – Yes. Unfortunately, self-loathing is part of the human condition. People don’t know how to deal with their own emotions and lash out at others. Thank you for listening to the episode and taking the time to comment. – Susan
That was an amazing interview – thanks so much to you and to Ben for such an indepth discussion. It was difficult to listen to some of it though, as he’s had such horrid experiences. I felt such empathy for him, and I hope he finds somewhere to go that makes him happy. I wonder if you would ever do a follow up chat with him in a year or so to see how he is doing?
Hi Stephanie
Thanks for listening and for posting.
I would love to do a follow up with him. I’ll reach out and see what he’s up these days.
Kindly
Susan
