​One thing that comes along with Southern Decadence is the hot performers (dancers) and Bennett Anthony is no exception. At least in my opinion.
 
I always find it interesting to interview porn stars because you get a chance to hear about their lives and on the surface, most think their lives are fun and glamorous. But as I’ve written before most never appreciate the hard work that goes into their profession.
 
Bennett Anthony grew up in Conway, South Carolina, a small conservative town located in the Southeast portion of the state. Bennett says he really didn’t have any issues being gay in high school even though he was out. He portrayed himself as hyper-masculine, playing sports and shying away from his feminine side, however, he did manage to date his high school gym coach.
 
His journey to becoming a porn star is interesting. After being contacted through Scruff to do an underwear photoshoot at Gay Day’s (Disney), he decided at that time he was going to fuck a porn star, put it out there and become “famous” and move to California. This was his way to get out of South Carolina.
 
Anthony admits that he’s never found the work hard, in fact, he says it quite easy. “I get to fuck a guy for 8 hours and get paid $2,000.00 for doing it, what is there to complain about?” He said. He recalls his first scene, which was done with Johnny Rapid as easy and laid back, and looking at the scene we can see why. While he will top or bottom, he has been cast mostly as a top, which he doesn’t mind and does both bareback and safe sex scenes. “A huge turn off for me are people who complain about everything, and I’m here just to do a job, so let’s do it,” he says.
 
With regards to his personal life, he understands that is can be a challenge to have someone who is not in the business, but he believes that if there is complete honesty and openness you can make the relationship healthy. “We talk about everything and don’t have unrealistic expectations about who we are,” Anthony stated.
 
Recently he moved back to Charleston, South Carolina to reground himself. He admits that he lost himself getting caught up in the club scene and letting his guard down. So going home was a way to “re-find” himself, and it appears that he has. So moving back to California is an option, but this time he's more grounded and secure.
 
Regardless of what he does I get the feeling that he will succeed. You can catch Bennett at The Phoenix Bar during Southern Decadence and especially at the XXL Party.
