To discover that he is as flawed as the rest of us is of course expected. On the surface and at a time he was the embodiment of black gay masculinity and as a fresh out of the closet gay man the appeal of the persona of BOBBY BLAKE was undeniable. He was a gay porn icon for many of my generation.
Unfortunate is the best single word I can come up with to describe the time I spent reading this book- a few hours of time I will never get back. What's written on these pages would have been good stuff for a personal diary- but it's awful stuff to have been shared by someone whose success is based so directly on public perception. But if you look for people to admire- stories to build-up, enforce good, and inspire, you really must look elsewhere. This book will be a suitable read for some. I'd have preferred more grace and class outta the guy. Either way- it's nothing but unnecessary and disappointing- honest or not. Putting myself in the place of these chubby guys- I'm not sure what would hurt more- being characterized in such a demeaning way by Bobby Blake the sexual-stunt-actor, or Bobby Blake the pastor. Especially since among his "fan base" I'm sure there are likely a number of such plus-sized men, who he appears to not mind insulting/offending. But belonging to two different groups that have been ravaged by misrepresentations and stereotypes throughout our history, you'd think the dude woulda learned enough life-lessons by now to not make the type of derogatory statements he does. Don't get me wrong- I don't think Blake is the only person who holds negative views about plus-sized folks. I also found it disturbing and ironic that a black gay man could hold the personal views he does about the chubby brothers in our little subculture.
What's to admire about that? And what's more- Blake tells these stories posturing as a man who completed these thug activities with some sort of honorable mission in mind. These criminal activities would land someone in jail in the real world. In the book he admits to being a problem employee by making forceful demands, placing his hands around a boss's neck in a strangle-hold, a predisposition toward fighting, and being so angry at a fellow-actor that he purposefully injured him internally so badly during the act, that he needed medical attention afterwards. I found it alarming that he admitted to such a psychotic tendency towards mean violence.

but this is likely due simply to some sort of inner bend toward serial mis-aim. Although he tries time and again to describe his flaws and poor choices of behavior as smart and honorable. and too lacking in commitment to complete the hard work it would take to be a decent villain.Īt least the man seems semi-honest. He's too unlikeable- impossible to admire- to be looked on as a hero. And Blake paints a pair of portraits of the two people he is, in neither way. When I invest time and money to read a book I expect the characters to either be likeable heroes- or hated/despised villains. I take authors seriously, and as a reader of books I expect authors to take me seriously, as well.
That life is not quite as impressive as he would want us to believe, in my opinion. He just acted as if people threw their coats down in a puddle so he could walk over it. He likes to think that he was a really big star, but let's face it, porn has a very limited audience and no matter how good you try to be or how ethical you try to act, it just about getting your rocks off. Other than that, it was a very interesting story. Swearing, multiple partners, on and on - I just don't know how he justifies himself. He didn't seem to act any different than any other person in many instances. Claiming to be a good Christian, he acted hostile, mean, ugly, physically abusive, etc. However, the things he did and the way he acted at times were completely unChristian in my eyes. I can't quibble with that exactly, as, "only God can judge". He says he led the life that he was supposed to live more or less with God's blessing. He seems contrary to what the Christian faith really says.
