Dear Blake,
Thank you for this wonderful series of conversations that you are sharing with us, via YT. I think it is such a good idea, for so many reasons. . . .
First, one of the things that sets this site, and this board, apart, is that - unlike so many American sites today - it is really a community of people who (for the most part!) really enjoy each other's company, and truly appreciate the models not just as performers, but also as
people. Your efforts do a lot to advance that cause.
Second, in the broader scheme of things, I think it is SO important for the erotic video industry to CHANGE, and I mean, CHANGE a
LOT. For so many years, it has been kind of a "cash-and-carry" business - insert your credit card, collect your orgasm
here. There has
got to be a better way to do things. . . .
By so generously sharing some insights into your life, experience, and feelings, you are helping people to know and
understand that models are people TOO - for the most part, nice, caring, hard-working people - and I think these efforts will help to change people's perception of, and attitude toward, those who work in this business.
I have had a number of friends who have worked in this industry, and have always felt that it is a great kindness that you do for us: sharing beautiful experiences of sexual bliss; inspiring and encouraging the fans; tiding over the fans who might be between relationships, or who are having trouble finding the relationship that is right for them; and encouraging safer sex - both by example, and by giving people an outlet for feelings that are good and natural, and need to be expressed.
(I wonder how many times some person who was getting lonely and frustrated, and might have contemplated doing something risky, came here and enjoyed a Blake video, or a Jason video, felt relieved and contented, and thought, "OK, I'll be fine, now" - and then was able to wait and HANG ON, until something really good and RIGHT came along??? I wish some enterprising and creative social scientist would do a study, but. . . I REALLY feel, in my heart of hearts, that you guys are
saving lives. Seriously.)
That's all a little heavy, and serious, but, on a lighter note. . . . you are such a sweet, charming, and beautiful man! (Jason, don't get jealous, now - you know you are my #1 ;-)))
I have always loved people from Texas - my Dad lives there half the year; and one of my sister's piano teachers was from there, also - and what a
gentleman he is. I sometimes think that people from up north (I'm from Canada) get the wrong idea about people from the south. . . . you all have such beautiful manners, and kindness and courtesy toward other people - it is very refreshing: I never met a person from Texas I didn't like!
Also, Blake, I wanted to mention - you have such a beautiful and melodious voice! (I am guessing you are a second tenor, or first baritone???) Anyway, it was so interesting to hear that you have been so involved in choral music over the years - because choral music is one of my first loves: I used to sing in high school and university choirs, and it was such a joy!
The first thing we ever sang in university choir was Vivaldi's "Gloria" - and every time I hear it, I can SMELL the fresh-cut grass, on the quad, and SEE the leaves, turning gold and scarlet. THANK YOU for reminding me of all that, and GOD BLESS YOU, Blake.
And keep on SINGING: you're a fine, sweet, and
extraordinary person.
All the best,
"Ambivalent"

P.S. I hope you get back to Europe, soon. Paris is my favorite city, and I am always so, so happy there. . . I'd take you and Jason to dinner at
Brasserie Bofinger - if we were ever all there at the same time! (I'm saving up to take my boyfriend, asap!)
