What does it take to reconcile with your father after years of no communication?

May 8th, 2020

Teenager Jake Jaxson with his father.

In the eighth episode of Tell Me About Your Father, critically acclaimed gay pornographer and Cocky Boys creator Jake Jaxson talks with Elizabeth and Matt about growing up the youngest of six in a conservative, evangelical household in southern Louisiana.

Though he knew he was gay as a teenager, he learned to pass as a homophobic, “misogynist little pig” in order to fly under the radar at home and make it through Eagle Scouts and the organized sports his mother signed him up for.

Listen as he describes grappling with his hurt and rage toward his dad, and how Adrian, his husband of twenty years, brokered a reconciliation between them that forever altered the way he tells stories through porn.


Thanks for listening and take care, 

Erin, Elizabeth and Matthew
