Need some motivation? As we hit the mid-way point of January, this has been scientifically proven as the most depressing time of the year.
The peer-review of that research is still pending, but intuitively it feels right. The festive season is behind us, the excitement of launching into the new year is fading, and those big and bold resolutions we made at the start of January are starting to feel a little over-optimistic.
To help us stay upbeat and focused on our goals, we asked some of our favourite men to share with us what they’re looking forward to in the year ahead.
Jordan Starr
With an award for Best Newcomer in the bag, and a tour of Europe currently underway, Jordan Starr has hit the ground running as he faces into 2023.
“The new year for me is a time of reflection and redirection…” explains Jordan. “I don’t like making resolutions, but goals of self-improvement are never wrong. Use this time to evaluate where you are in life, and decide which trajectory you’re going to put yourself on. At the end of the day, nobody is responsible for your life except you. If you don’t make it happen, nobody else will.”
“Professionally, I’m planning to meet more people and travel to more places.”
Micah Martinez
Always delivering the goods whether he’s working behind or in front of the camera, Micah Martinez has clearly got his creative juices pumping for the year ahead.
“I feel that 2023 is going to be a great year for horror…” says Micah. “Both mainstream and in the adult industry.”
Start planning those Halloween costumes!
Michael Boston
He’s got one of the most celebrated butts in the adult entertainment industry, but Michael Boston is firmly looking ahead with some big plans for the new year.
“I’m looking forward to my new apartment…” confirms Michael. “I’m also looking forward to a new adventure with my boyfriend, Lucca Mazzi.”
Drew Valentino
We’ve long been a fan of the work of Drew Valentino, and his Fleshbot award for Best New Star was well-deserved.
“I’m looking forward to seeing all that I am going to accomplish after such a transitional year…” reflects Drew. “Six months ago, I decided to be sober again and I’ve felt pretty unstoppable since – I’ve had lots of success in many aspects of life.”
“I feel like the second half of 2022 was a big set up for greater things to come in 2023 – particularly with my stand-up career, my porn career, and my mental health.”
Joel Someone
If there’s ever a man that you would want to sit down and get a bit cerebral with, it’s Joel Someone.
“I’m looking forward to another year of growth in this industry…” says Joel Someone. “What I’ve noticed is that every year of surviving in porn gives you the ability to ascend and shape yourself into a better and more noticed performer.”
“I’m currently visiting my hometown, and it feels like more and more people are noticing the level of success and professionalism their hometown boy has reached in the porn industry.”
“Although I’m dealing with personal challenges in my life, I’m excited to see what another year of growth looks like. It really does get bigger and honestly better each year.”
P-Man
Being a blogger/ promoter I have seen many talented performers and seen these careers soar. Talented men such as Jordan Starr, Andrew Miller, Blain O’ Connor, Luca Del Rey, and Ryder Owens have caught my eye, There unique sexiness talent and personalities have them soaring to the top. They have the it-factor in every scene – you can’t keep your eyes off them. I admire their determination and positivity when they strongly believe in something, they give it their all, look out for these talented men!
