This past Saturday New Sensations took home Best Taboo Relations film for Keep it in the Family. It was a movie I wrote and directed and is my second favorite title within the genre. However, my absolute favorite title within the “fauxcest” genre, Our Father (a film I truly consider was the best of any I’ve done) was nominated against Keep it in the Family and it lost. Is it ridiculous that a part of me was really disappointed? I still won, but was it for the right title?
For anyone who wants to watch what I consider my best taboo movie to date, check out Our Father here. Then watch Keep it in the Family and tell me which one you think is better!

2014 – A Year of Firsts
2014 was a year of firsts for me…
It marked the first time I worked as a full-time director.
The first time I directed a girl/girl release.
The first time I earned a directing award (thank you XRCO and NightMoves).
The first time I directed Dakota Skye, Carter Cruise, Romi Rain, Ryan McLane, Chanel Preston, Dani Daniels, Elexis Monroe, and many incredible others!
Here’s a look back on some of my most favorite moments:
A special thanks goes out to Jeff Koga, who provided ALL of the pictures below. Follow him on Twitter here.
1).
The Year Starts with a Bang at AVN where The Temptation of Eve takes home Best Romance and Best Actress Awards! Watch it here. There is nothing better than watching one of your dearest friends win an award for all their hard work!
2).
I moderate AVN’s very first Men of Adult panel at AEE! The men are just as critical to the adult industry as the women. Here’s to recognizing that!
3).
I talk about romance within the adult world on Vivid Radio along with Penny Pax, India Summer, Veruca James, and Eddie Powell.
4).
I dive head first into the fauxcest genre with Tabu Tales. It has been an incredible creative journey! Such a blast.
5).
I take on the Hotwifing genre and find my mind blown by that lifestyle. Check out some of the hotwifing movies from NS here.
6).
I finally get the green light to direct my very first girl girl film, A Mother Daughter Thing, which is all sorts of fun! Check it out here.
7).
And from mothers, I graduate to sisters. I absolutely love the girl/girl genre. I love surrounding myself with beautiful women and exploring what makes girl/girl sex so powerful!
8).
I direct Dakota Skye for the first time in my absolute FAVORITE Tabu Tales release, Our Father. See why.
9).
I direct Carter Cruise for the first time in my absolute FAVORITE Tabu Tales release, Our Father. I then go on to direct her in Happy Anniversary where I see if she has what it takes to do romance. She kills it and then goes on to act as the lead in Second Chances!
10).
Two of my dearest industry friends (Steven St. Croix and Remy LaCroix) and I celebrate wins at the 2014 XRCO Awards!
We then reconnect for another Tabu Tales release!
11).
I somehow lose all sense of reason and go on to write and direct, The Submission of Emma Marx 2.
12).
I collaborate on every project with my best friend and one of the most talented people in and outside the business, Eddie Powell. He’s the reason I look forward to work every single day. He makes everything I direct look beautiful. He cares more than anyone I know. He is the industry’s finest, yet most underrated talent.
Finally, I wanted to thank all the incredible talent that I was surrounded by throughout 2014! I am looking forward to another creative year in 2015!
A Day of Thanks
In 2011, I started working in the adult industry and it changed my life. What began as a flippant submission to a contest New Sensations was holding looking for adult writers turned into a whirlwind career working as a full time writer and director in the adult entertainment industry.
It’s been a wild ride that’s allowed me to experience true joy and staggering heartache all within such a short period of time. I’ve seen the truly worst of human nature…and the best. This blog goes out to the best. The people that have touched me, moved me, inspired me, taught me, and changed me.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me some of the best memories of my mid to late 30’s! Here are some pics from a few of the best times I’ve had on set with the adult industry’s finest people.

Tabu Tales’ 2015 Nominations
All photos by: Jeff Koga
The fauxcest genre is nothing new. It’s been around in adult since the 70’s (and likely before then). Still, this year AVN created a category for Taboo Relations and Digital Sin and myself were THRILLED to see three titles nommed in that category! Tabu Tales received a total of 11 nominations across all categories in its first year!
Here are this year’s nom’s for Digital Sin’s Tabu Tales:
Keep It in the Family – Best Taboo Relations Movie – AVN Watch it here
Keep It in the Family – Best Director (Non Feature) (Jacky St. James)- AVN
Keep It in the Family – Best Vignette Scene (Karmen Karma and Van Wylde) – XBIZ

Dakota Skye – THE Lolita of the Adult Industry

Dakota’s got that look that’s hard not to love. She exudes that youthful sexuality without even trying. Check her out in one of my favorite Tabu movies released, to date: Our Father.
