There were early signs that Boe Jack Ryan was destined for an adult career. “I’ve known I wanted to do porn since the fourth grade,” the Texas native admits. By his senior year of high school, he boldly stood up on the first day of class and declared his intention to become an adult film actor. After graduation, he waited a few years before making the move to New York City to chase his dream. Thirteen years later, Boe Jack has become a highly sought-after star. When he’s not in front of the camera, he can be found in the gym or jetting off to his next go-go dancing gig. More recently, he’s expanded into the kink world, appearing in films such as his latest, opposite fellow rising talent Logan Aarons. We sat down with Boe Jack to learn more.
What drew you to work with KinkMen.com?
I’ve always loved the different explorations of sexuality on KinkMen.com. What drew me to film with them was being able to explore my own sexual desires in a safe and controlled environment.
Of the scenes you have shot with KinkMen.com, which have been your favorite?
I thoroughly enjoyed my first scene. Everybody on set made sure that I was comfortable and everything was done within my boundaries, as well as my scene partner’s boundaries. As far as shooting, it went very smoothly. I often look back at that first scene and smile because it was such a great experience.
How much of the on-screen leather identity that you portray on KinkMen.com mirrors your real-life relationship with kink?
I try not to do anything on camera that I don’t do in my personal life. Anything and everything you see me in is authentically me. I feel like it is kind of hard to fake some of the stuff that we get into once we cross the kink threshold. Authentic screams of joyous pain sound much different than when you’re putting on an act. It’s the same with what I wear. Anything I’ve worn on screen, leather-wise, I have also worn in my personal life.
What do you like about leather?
Leather, for me, triggers a different persona. It incites this bad ass inside of me. The feeling of leather across my skin builds me up to the point where I know I’m the baddest mother*cker in the room.
What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about leather culture and its role in porn?
I think many people believe that leather culture is something that only our dads and granddads took part in. Leather is for everyone! The first time you put on your full leather gear, stretch your stuff outside, feeling all sexy; at that moment, you will understand that leather is timeless.
Are you noticing leather as a growing trend in the gay community?
Yes, we’re seeing a lot more leather lately. Several clubs that I gogo dance at have started to have leather nights. More leather parties are popping up here and there, and there’s definitely a lot more leather being done in the amateur film scene. I feel like a new generation of younger people is getting into leather, which means there will soon be a big revival.
Looking ahead, how do you see the future of leather and kink in the adult industry, and where do you hope to take your career within that space?
I definitely see leather growing in the industry. I hope to see more conventions, meet-ups, and leather nights at local bars and clubs, all across the country.
Some say kink content is becoming too “mainstream”. Do you see that as a positive expansion of visibility or as a risk of losing authenticity?
I think it could be a positive thing. There’s nothing saying that you can’t keep your authenticity while still appealing to the masses. In my opinion, going mainstream just means that there’s more visibility and more people learning about the different kinks that they didn’t know they were into.
