I just listened to an interview Tommy/James did in 2022 on the podcast Sorry For Asking with Cole Connor and Adam Ramzi. James describes himself as "heteroflexible," that he is attracted to men but primarily to women, and his favorite activity with men was giving blowjobs. He admitted that he trash-talked his gay porn past after he got out of the industry but that he has a more balanced view of his experience now, that it was the drug addictions that were tearing him apart, not the porn necessarily. Still has many friends in the industry.
Selfishly, I wish he were still in porn, particularly now that it's all bareback -- God, I would so love to see him get railed raw by somebody like Sir Peter -- but he's sober and sounds happy now. After all, we still have those iconic scenes of him having sex with men, captured forever.
