This week on Brolapse, I sit down with one of the realest, rawest, and most resilient legends in the industry—Brian Bonds. From his early days getting fisted in a bathroom before shooting a scene, to directing some of the kinkiest, most beautifully lit fisting content out there, Brian has seen all sides of porn. But today’s conversation goes deeper than any scene he’s ever shot. We talk about the emotional aftermath of long-term sex work, how mental health gets pushed to the side in adult entertainment, and what happens when the industry no longer has space for you. Spoiler: he’s still finding ways to take up space—and do it on his own terms.
