I happened to be at this particular video shoot. As with some other Bound in Public, there was 1-way Mylar against the public windows. Several people stopped and attempted to look through the 1-way Mylar, include several attractive young women. Phenix went crazy for a few of the women. He got very very excited and said things like: Yeah, baby, come on in, we are ready for you!" I couldn't help notice that his entire body language, the tone of his voice, and affect were entirely different, and more excited and genuine, than anything I saw in any of his gay videos. He's straight. Just completely straight. Not very empowered. Maybe not very bright. But, understand that whatever he does in gay porn is a PERFORMANCE, to make money. He's maybe okay with gay guys (or not), but he is at least willing to take our money and not beat us up, which is an improvement from the 1960s and prior. But, I saw it. His whole affect towards the women through the Mylar was, I'm turned on. He affect in his gay porn is, "I'm doing this job with as much enthusiasm as I can muster." I still like him as a performer. But, as Margo says, he "gives a performance. A performance. Out of nowhere!"
