An Interview With Tayte Hanson: Watching Straight Porn, Promoting Safe Sex & Why He Has Long Hair

Tayte Hanson, an exclusive model for Cocky Boys, is currently sitting at the summit of The Ten, so I thought I’d check in to see how he’s doing and what he thinks about all the attention he’s been getting lately. Hanson might prefer not to categorize himself, but in the words of one of our esteemed commenters, “as long as he’s hot and sucks cock who cares, or were you thinking of dating him?”

You might think of dating him, though! At least after checking out his new YouTube channel, watching him on cam or reading this here interview, in which Hanson explains what he’s been up to both in and out of the sack, from his #safesexissexy campaign to why he likes watching straight porn.

So it seems like you’ve got a pretty rabid fan base…

I think “rabid” might be a little negative for the incredibly active, loving, and (I’ll give you) excitable group of individuals that have come on as my fan base.

If Tumblr is anything to go by a big chunk of your fans are girls. Is that fun for you? Or strange?

If you asked me months ago if a large portion of my fan base would be women, I would have laughed in your face. But I don’t think, in any facets of life, that gender should delegate who or what they can or cannot support, enjoy or fawn over. I think I attract both men and women because my physical appeal spans both a “gay” image as well as a possibly “straight” image.

Whatever the case, I am simply happy that people support me, male or female.

You mentioned in another interview that you really like watching straight porn. Why is that?

I love straight porn because I get the best of both worlds! I am so tired of people asking if I am straight or gay because, clearly I am “gay” in the sense that our culture defines it. You can ask any of the guys I have dated in the past years to confirm, ha. I like sex. Period.

I say I am “open”, because everything attracts me physically. I like dick. I like boobs. I like pussy. I like ass. It is truly the culmination of all parts that interests me—which is why I date men 99.9% of the time, because the addition of all their parts interests me the most. However, once in a very blue moon, I meet a woman who has a very attractive nature, and it just works.

Are you currently single?

Yes. I am married to my work.

You’re a Cocky Boys exclusive. Aside from the perks of getting to work in the same city where you live, what do you like about them as a company?

I like everything. I love my bosses, the boys, the environment and the work. The thing I like the most is that I have a voice and personality within the company. I don’t have experience with other companies in the industry; however, I have heard some horror stories, and I am thankful that Cocky Boys has allowed me to do the things I want to do and avoid things I have no interest in.

Such as?

You have probably read about my passion for my campaign #safesexissexy, and my desire to become an advocate for safe sex and the eroticism of safe sex. The company lets me pursue this, and is a condom using company.

What is #safesexissexy?

I developed an educational program to teach adults how to eroticize the teaching of safe sex–essentially allowing safe sex programs a new venue by which to help future generations. The program incorporates teaching strategies graded for ages 12-17 which will, intentionally, allow safe sex to be viewed as something of appeal rather than simply a requirement.

Your non-porn life seems very active. How do you find time for it all?

Dumbledore gave me the Time-Turner that Hermoine used in… Not really, but I feel my time management skills from my years of owning a dance company have allowed me to really accommodate for everything. The fact that I have a highly obsessive compulsive nature and constantly push myself is definitely a big part of it, too. Four hours of sleep a night does me good, and the reminder that I have the exact same 24 hours in a day as Beyoncé definitely helps too.

Speaking of Beyoncé… Some snarky internet commenters have a lot to say about your hair. This is a funny question, but is your hair something you think about a lot?

Thankfully, I got plenty of knowledge from the late Joan Rivers when she spoke about the waste of time that is reading negative comments online. I can not please everyone and must simply be myself.

The reason I grew my hair out in the first place is because, when I was suffering from cancer years ago, I couldn’t grow any and, therefore, growing it now is a symbol for so much more than the physical appeal. Trust me, short hair is much less of a pain in the ass, and when it is grown long enough to donate to a wig cause for cancer patients, I will probably be cutting it.

Does being in porn make you think about your individual body parts in a different way than, say, go-go dancing?

Being in porn has simply heightened my awareness of my physical form 24/7—I have always been insane in how I take care of my body, but nowadays, it is all about the details.

I read in a different interview that you maybe don’t really love New York, or maybe just New Yorkers. If you had the freedom (or the career opportunity) to live anywhere else, where would it be?

I LOVE New York… But I don’t love everything about it. It’s a love/hate relationship. I have traveled the world dancing and have lived in a few different countries. When the time is right, I will be buying a house about 45 minutes outside of NYC to build my summer stock performance space, and I will have a cottage in Austria, my favorite country in the world.

If any of your fans want to actually meet you in person, what’s your advice?

Please come say hello! I really, truly, appreciate when people enjoy my work, so I want to know! I love when people say they jacked off to me last night! Seriously, nothing feels better than knowing that the thought of me gets some people off!

Are you still dancing around New York?

I just upped my nightly rates in order to pick and choose gigs, so I am not working any regular nightlife gigs in New York–everything from now on will be special events!

I know you recently made your on-screen bottoming debut. As a performer, what are the main differences when you’re bottoming?

I really don’t think there are “performance” differences. Maybe because I come at the work with a genuine physical passion. When I am topping, I am genuinely topping as I do in real life, and when I am bottoming, I do it just as I do in real life. I think the differences are more in the preparation than in the actual performance!

You’re clearly doing something right. Especially since you’re the new #1 on The Ten. Congratulations, by the way!

It makes me feel very excited! I always love hearing my reach is expanding and that people are responding positively.

If you could have your pick of any of the other nine guys on the list, who would you go for first?

There are a few guys on that list that really get me going, but the top two were Ryan Ball—woof—and Riley Tanner. Both of you boys should contact me immediately!

Last question: what does the future have in store for you?

Immediate: to continue making work for Cocky Boys and, hopefully, to press forward with my safe sex work. (Anybody out there looking for a safe sex spokesperson, please contact me.) Long-term: My safe sex educational program, as well as a world tour for my two erotic novels.

  1. Or he could genuinely mean what he wrote and like women sexually. Men who have sex with all genders do exist without trying to appeal to a fan base ya know.

  2. I know that, if you read everything you see he said I date men 99.9% of the time. Clearly he is gay but afraid of alienating female fans.

  3. ‘Open’ my foot. I love Tatye, and since I am a cancer survivor I feel a sense of connection with regards to the ‘hair’ issue. And good for him for advocating safe sex. Hope his position will NEVER change despite future pressure to conform to this dangerous ‘fad’ of backback porn.

  4. Or he’s bisexual to the higher end of the Kinsey scale, like I am. I’m bisexual and have been with mostly men. That doesn’t diminish my attraction or sexual desire for women. Why can’t he be bisexual? He is NOT “clearly gay” if he enjoys women sexually. Why are so many opposed to the fact that we exist?

  5. So I will readily admit to being among the “rabid” fans, BUT I have to say that this feature only makes me like him more. He sounds like he’s got this sh*t together and has a clear goal. Yes, there’s about a hundred things I’d want to do with him, but climbing higher towards the top of that list is the desire to sit down with him for an exhaustive interview about his childhood, his dancing career, his cancer bout (and how it’s changed him), his #safesexissexy campaign, his post-porn plans and why Austria (which is hardly the European country with the wildest reputation).

  6. I’m not opposed to you existing, i’ve dated plenty of bisexual men. Tayte however is not bisexual, if you notice he never says he’s bisexual. He says he’s “open” and that he likes it all listing body parts but then says 99.9% of the time he dates men. These are all things gay men say when they aren’t ok with the gay label. In his case it’s clear that it’s a matter of not wanting to upset his female fans.

    Someone like Colby Jansen is bisexual, Tayte is however strictly dickly gay.

    If he was truly bisexual it’d be fine but he isn’t.

  7. I really do not get why some commenter’s refuse to believe that he likes straight porn and is “open” sexually. Have we all forgotten that m oust people fall somewhere in between hetero and homo. I LOVE straight porn. Sometimes they are hilarious. Some of the men are hot. And some of the women are as well. You get different scenarios and, if you choose correctly, some hot clock as well. Finally…I would also consider myself 99.9% gay, but I also realize that sexual attraction can sometimes be overtaken by other things when u truly connect with someone. I used to always say that I was open to anyone who made me feel that spark. I have had a few women along the way that came just short of lighting that fire. Now, 16 years into a relationship and recently married, it is unlikely that a connection with a woman would spark those feelings, but once again, I leave myself open to all the possibilities that life has to offer.

  8. I dont care if Tayte loved to watch straight porn, me as a closeted gay guy until last year had only discover and watch gay porn last 2 or 3 yrs ago and Im 34 on this day. If Tayte would keep on saying he’s open it was because of his female fans who showered him gifts at Amazon.com. So it’s ok. He hasnt have only good looks but character as well. I love this interview short but we got the message.

  9. Don’t knock it until you try it Sam…I guess that is what I get for trying to type my comments with my clock while searching for straight porn with my right hand and looking up new labels to place on other people with my left. 🙂

  10. Exactly…and the larger issue is that it is his right to lable himself, if he chooses one, just as we all have the right to define who we are. What des it matter if he likes to fuck smurfs? And as far as his fans, it would not matter if he took out billboards that anounced he was GAY! GAY! GAY!…those that fatasize about him will continue to do so. Some in the hpes that they are the one that can change him…but most just because he is fucking hot!!! Who hasn’t had a crush on a straight friend or a celebrity? Does it really matter that Tom Brady or Jon Hamm, or Adam Levine, or David Beckham, or (the list goes on) identifies as straight…does it keep those who fantasize about them from having those fantasies? They are fanatic about their objects of desire, thus they are fans.

  11. I disagree. It’s not so clear to me. His female fans probably aren’t the ones buying his stuff, so fear of alienating them is probably quite small.

  12. True, I was simply stating that I think he is lying not to alienate female fans which is truly sad.

    I would also like to apologize for giving the first impression that I was a biphobe. I’m not, regularly defend them against those on here that think they aren’t real.

  13. Why is it so hard to believe gay me jerk of to gay porn. I’m 51 years old …hot as hell, and get bored with gay porn sometimes. It’s not for everyone… This guy sounds like he knows who he is…let him be

  14. He’s not gay if he enjoys women sexually. Stop trying to change what gay means. Labels are not evil or bad, they’re necessary. It’s not an insult to anyone.

  15. I have no problem with him he comes out and says I’m gay but I sometimes like a woman. I can respect that. It the ones who won’t say whether they are gay, bi, or straight. And lets be honest here using the “I don’t like labels” excuse is nothing but a closet case excuse. Because in reality your either bi, gay, or straight, and some of us like to know that so we can know what and who we are dealing with. And when someone is in gay porn I don’t find asking them thier sexual orientation to be anything but appropriate since we are paying them through our porn purchases.

  16. IF you want to eroticize condoms, why not do more scenes where you erotically put on a condom or your partner puts it on for you. Instead, theres always a cutaway and the condom is magically on whether you’re in a bedroom, a sauna or outdoors. (Also from what I read you had testicular cancer and if that is true, Id think you’d want to promote that -…No one is doing that (well except my doctor) and people of all ages should be checking their balls regularly)

  17. I don’t really care but Cockyboys does seem to have a huge base of loyal female fans who spend a lot of money and go to all their events…They also keep Tayte’s mailbox full of Amazon gifts.

  18. Actually yes, that’s exactly what it means. There are things in this world that want to kill us, and if you don’t use the tools at your disposal to protect yourself from those things, then you deserve what you get.

    (This is of course excepting non-consensual scenarios such as rape, blood transfusions or in utero infections.)

  19. Agreed! I grew out my hair long (not because I had cancer, but because several members of my family did) and cut it not long ago to donate. I fully support Tayte in his desire to do that. Altruism is fucking sexy…as is Tayte.

  20. So Merriam Webster (since your defining common sense) I guess you’re parents didn’t have common sense when they made you because that was bareback sex.

  21. Oh don’t be so fucking ridiculous. You know perfectly well what I’m talking about so stop trying to reframe the argument because you don’t have a good answer.

  22. Colby isn’t bisexual he only dates women ,never been with a man outside of porn ; Was attracted to his transgender wife because of he appearance as a women .

  23. Actually he has been with men outside of porn, in fact he has sex with men before his porn work and now currently has three ways with them with his wife. No he hasn’t dated one but that does not make him any less bisexual.

    Oh and yes he was a attracted to her as a woman but make no mistake he openly talks about his love for pre-op tgirls.

  24. lol Ever since he was called out on it he makes a point to show he likes guys before he didn’t do that . He said in his ask fm he never did anything with men outside of porn even fooling around with with guys . He has never dated a man . In the Im a gay porn star doc . He had to uses str8 porn to get hard on the porn set .

  25. Clearly you can’t click a link a Jordi. So Here

    From the Links you can’t see to read

    “This is something that kind of cracks me up. I’ve seen the comments on blogs and videos and damn there are some hateful people out there banging away on their keyboards. I’ve said in the past that I am “try-sexual” or “yes-sexual”. I like sex – reeeeeeally like sex! I enjoy women, men and male to female transsexuals. Does this make me “bisexual” or “gay” – I don’t know. I go to gay clubs and bars, I have sex with men on camera, I have Grindr & Scruff accounts, I also have sex with women and my wife Gia. So, to set the record straight? I’m truly bisexual and I really don’t give a fuck what anyone else thinks.”

    His First Guy On Guy experience before porn

    “Honestly, I never actually had any interactions with guys until about 2007. I had always thought about it, but I had never acted on it. I found Manhunt.net and ended up meeting a guy through web camming. When he and I hooked up – and it was just basically him giving me a blow job, I had no idea that an encounter could be so intense.”

    Even if you ruled out men, he still very clearly prefers Pre-op TGirls so he likes Dick.

  26. “He said in his ask fm he never did anything with men outside of porn even fooling around with with guys .”

    The answer your referring to was to a question about him currently hook up with guys outside of porn and he said no.

  27. Oh and one have sex with a man whether for money or not at least makes them some what Bi not a 50/50 bi more like a 95/5 bi or a kinnsey 1 but still not 100% straight. But after all didn’t you say you couldn’t never be with a woman jordi.

  28. But really I should know by now Jordi that in your mind if a man is ever with a woman he is automatically straight. Too Bad thats not how the really world works.

  29. No that’s not true . But when you need str8 porn to get hard wile your working with guys on a gay porn set that says something . Also when people asked his has he ever has sex with a man outside of porn he said no on his ask fm account . He has been changing his tone lately.

  30. The only problem i have with that is we keep expanding what it means to be bi in-order to be accommodating. At one point bi mean close to the middle not 50/50 but close . Know many people say if your not 100% “what ever that means You are automatically bi . That’s not the case . i will write a bool about this one day .

  31. You don’t know what i believe . I don’t really care about him anyway that’s why i done’t mention him .

  32. Book, not bool and no bisexual has always simply meant being attracted to both genders it’s never meant equally it’s always simply meant being into both no matter the preference.

  33. No he hasn’t, he has from the start of his career said he was not straight. If you bothered to click the link you’d see the interview I post his answers from was from 2012 three years ago, so not recently.

    Further he doesn’t use straight porn, he said that most straight performers use it.

  34. No It meant you were both emotional romantically and sexual attracted to both .

  35. It’s in his ask fm from a long time ago . Before he started saying you don’t know me to anything regarding his lack of attraction to men .
