The Masterbaker

By Trent Farber

Some guys have it all. Amazing bodies, Colgate smiles, a winning personality… Add to that the ability to bake a perfect soufflé and you have Trent Davis.

Yes, it’s true. One of today’s leading men of porn heats up in the bedroom and in the kitchen.

When he’s not filming on the Randy Blue set, Davis is taking classes at culinary school. He took some time from his busy schedule to talk to us about all he’s got cookin’.

A guy that is really into me. I love attention.

What’s the significance of the cherry in your mouth?

Actually it is what the photographer suggested. I do as I’m told (laughs).

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of love?

I haven’t really been in love yet.

o

Of course we have to ask, when did you first get your cherry popped?

I was around 18 or 19 years old.

Was it on film?

No, it wasn’t on film, but it happened around the same time I came to Randy Blue.

How do you feel about being labeled a bottom?

I love it. I don’t feel any shame about it whatsoever. I was born this way, baby.

What drew you to porn?

Men and sex.

A guy like you can have men and sex without it having to be on camera.

Yeah, but there are lots of perks to being a porn star.

Like money?

Sure, but also fun, wild times.

You’re a self proclaimed horn dog – what gets you most horny?

18 | jumponmarkslist.com

What do you do when you’re not in front of the camera?

I’m in cooking school.

Of course you are.

I’m serious. Fans are always surprised to learn that I bake.

You’re a masterbaker?

I get it. (Laughs) I’m a masterbaker and a masturbator.

I do it all.

That’s sad.

Not really. I’m young. I have plenty of time to find love.

Would you date you?

Hell yeah ‘cause I’m hot.

What’s that old commercial?

She’s got legs and she knows how to use them. That’s me.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Absolutely nothing.

Cocky, are we?

Yeah, I’m pretty good in that department. But my butt is my best body part.

Did it hurt like hell getting the tattoo on your arm?

All tattoo’s hurt. Anybody who says otherwise is lying. But I took it like a champ.

Is there a special meaning behind the tattoo?

Not really. I got it when I was younger. I thought it looked cool.

How open are you about your

film career?

Anybody that’s supposed to know, knows. I have no secrets.

Most guys I meet seem to know already anyway so there’s not much use in me trying to hide anything.

Would you be cool if a fan approached you in the supermarket?

Hell yes, especially if we are by the cucumbers.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Cooking in a five star restaurant somewhere and maybe moonlighting in porn every now and then.

What’s your secret obsession?

Sneakers. Imelda Marcos’s shoe collection has nothing on mine.

What’s one thing you own that you can’t live without?

Porn. Remember? I’m a horn dog.

Who has been your favorite co-star?

I have loved them all but Eddie Diaz will always be my favorite.

Do you socialize with any of the Randy Blue boys?

When we are in the same city, I do, but it’s rare that we’re all in the same place at the same time.

What’s the biggest misperception about Trent Davis?

Probably that I sleep around.

I wish it were true, but it’s not.

Between school and my work with Randy Blue, there’s not time. Luckily, I have my hand, but I’d much rather someone else’s.

cross-eyed By AJ Cross

Sideview Mirror P (The following is the Finale of a 4 part series which ran for 4 consecutive weeks) He continued kissing me and then, finally, turned me over. He kissed my neck and back and then he propped me up a bit as he began to feast on the lower part of me. I could barely keep my breath as he buried his tongue deep inside of me. After a few minutes of what can only described as sensational, he whispered into my ear “are you ready”. The question needed no explanation and I just said “yes”. As he pushed it in slowly and steadily, my knees gave out and his strong arms kept me from the ground. He grabbed my waist and hoisted me up and onto my knees. He thrusts were forceful and deep and steady.

His grip upon me was firm and he occasionally would bite down on my neck almost in timing when he would go in the deepest. The sweat began to build on us both and I could feel it dripping from his brow onto my back. He started to push faster and deeper until I could not even feel any other part of my body.

He briefly came out of me and then laid himself down on the floor and, without giving me instructions, I sat upon him and I took over, pretending that he was one of the horses he had been caring for his whole life.

The sweat was so much that my hands kept sliding off his broad chest. I leaned down and kissed him as he held my butt in his hands and pushed harder and harder.

Just at the point when, without even touching myself I was going to explode, I heard a hard knock on the window of my car. I opened my eyes and the man in the cowboy hat I had seen in the sideview mirror was standing there. I was taken off guard.

Within seconds of first seeing him getting out of his truck, my mind had taken me so far. It all seemed so real to me, yet it all happened in moments in my thoughts.

He gestured for me to roll down the window, so I did and he asked me if I was ok. I told him that the car stalled out and that there were some lights that came on which may be indicating a problem. He told me that there was not going to be a place to stop for a while and offered for me to go with him until the rain stopped.

I turned off the car and grabbed my bag and followed him to his truck. When I got into the passenger side, I could not help but ask him if his name was Luke. He smiled and said no. My name is “Matthew”.

“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear” took on a whole new meaning that night.

endemic flora and fauna that have evolved in isolation across the lush archipelago.

Dotting the emerald coastlines of Mahé island, a handful of luxurious resorts perfectly capture the country’s quintessential juxtaposition of mountainous backdrops, mind-boggling boulders and crystalline waters. Chic amenities undoubtedly enhance the inspirational panoramas, like the private infinity pool behind each tree house villa at the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles (www. fourseasons.com/seychelles, +248 393 000) or the hillside Spa pavilions at the Banyan Tree Seychelles (www.banyantree.com/en/seychelles, +248 383 500).

Travelers who have experienced “The Baths”

of Virgin Gorda and found themselves enchanted by the petite cavernous overlay of smooth rock, palm trees and white sands will achieve nirvana in the Seychelles’ ubiquitous equivalent. The natural mazes often lead to deserted banks of turquoise brilliance, sinfully romantic and splendidly private.

Complemented by sensational marine life and eclectic cuisine, Africa’s oceanic tropical utopia lives up to its legendary reputation.

Bountiful Beauty in Bora Bora

Since the dawn of the 19th century, Tahiti’s magnetism has been the subject of nearly 15,000 books and articles. While the timeless rapture of its verdant panoramas remains, Tahiti has fallen victim to destructive, anthropogenic realities, forcing travelers to venture deeper into the Society Islands to discover the South Seas’ renowned magic.

Following the gospel of Pulitzer Prize winner James Michener, opulence arrived in nearby Bora Bora by the 1970s, endowing the idyllic island with five star resorts that matched the astounding beauty of Michener’s words. Bora Bora was the birthplace of the overwater bungalow, later popularized in Tahiti and perfected in the Maldives.

This concept of luxurious accommodation straddling the ocean floor, immersed in natural azure and emerald hues, in the shadow of jagged mountains, revolutionized the travel market and fostered a paradigm where the formerly unknown Polynesian gem became synonymous with ambiguous terms like “paradise” and “heaven.”

Forty years later, Bora Bora is still a bastion of exclusive and definitive romance with more options than ever for indulging in French Polynesia’s bountiful endowments. Perennial favorites like the Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort and Spa (www.

Hilton.com/Bora-Bora-Nui, +689-60-3300) and welcome newcomers like the St. Regis Resort Bora Bora (www.stregisborabora.com, +689-60-7888) dutifully triumph our expectations of “paradise”.

Turtle Island

In the north westernmost reaches of the Fijian archipelago, the remote Yasawa Islands exemplify the effortless magnificence of the South Pacific, bejeweled with Mother Nature’s finest Harry Winstons. None more so than Nanuya Levu, better known as Turtle Island (www.turtlefiji.com) – a 500-acre landmass, candy-coated with palm trees and turquoise inlets, immortalized in the 1980 version of the classic film, The Blue Lagoon.

Though Hollywood hoopla catalyzed a mass exodus to the South Pacific in search of the movie’s captivating milieu, Turtle Island itself remained a selective retreat, exclusive to the few couples patronizing the “bures” (cottages) on this island oasis. Staying true to sustainability commitments and judicious romanticism, Turtle Island never became a commercialized enterprise.

In fact, to this today a maximum of 14 couples roam the island at any given time.

This translates to long hours exploring the island’s perimeter and interiors in romantic solitude by foot, by horseback, or by bike; or basking in the tranquility of the holy waters by kayak or sailboat, creating the private moments you will mentally reference throughout your lifetime.

fitness By Tom Bonanti Exciting Ways To Get That Extra Hard Pump!

Like every hobby, bodybuilding / weight training can become boring and routine.

Doing the same old thing the same way every time is monotonous and counter productive even in the gym. That’s why it’s important to read about new routines and the latest findings on muscle growth, etc., so that your workouts remain challenging, rewarding and fun! This week, I’d like to go over a few common but often misunderstood terms/techniques that can put some fire under your workouts and some burn in those muscles.

“Superset” is a widely misused term.

Technically, a superset is when you train two opposing muscle groups (i.e., biceps versus triceps, back versus chest) with only a small break between exercises. For example, you may do a set of flat bench barbell press for chest, then move quickly using the same barbell for a bent over row for back. Go back and forth for three sets of each. Take a brief break and then alternate incline dumbbell presses and wide grip lat pull downs.

Supersets create balance and joint strength and allow one muscle group a brief rest while you blast its opposing muscle group.

Compound sets are great, especially if you have a problem muscle group that won’t grow.

Compound sets employ two intense exercises for the same muscle group. For example, a standing barbell curl can be combined with a preacher curl to really fry those biceps. Perform a set of barbell curls to exhaustion, then move to a set of killer preacher curls to isolate those twin peaks.

Compound sets bombard a muscle group working it to exhaustion.

If you’re really cruising for a burn, go for trisets. This simply means that you add a third or even a fourth exercise to the above torture as you max out those mighty arms.

Forced reps are a great way to push muscles just a little harder, once they’ve been pretty much exhausted. Just when you think you can’t do another curl, press or squat, recruit someone else’s muscles to help you! That’s right, get a trainer, partner or buddy to help you squeeze out a couple of forced reps before you rack your weights and call it quits.

Learn to accentuate the negative – at least with your reps! When I train clients, I’ll often have them focus on the negative or eccentric contraction during an exercise. For example, during a bicep curl, explode as you bring the weight to your chin (concentric or positive contraction) then,

o

56 | jumponmarkslist.com

as you lower the weight (eccentric or negative contraction), slow down and focus as you push your muscles to a new level of fatigue. Try doing negatives with bi’s, tri’s, chest, legs, etc., once a month to maximize size and strength. Don’t overdo negatives, or you may risk injury or overtraining.

Have a great summer and take advantage of these techniques to add variety to you training regime.

Thinking of Investing?

Here is what one of our clients had to say about their experience: Rick’s combination of experience, tenacity, integrity, and instincts has been an incredible asset to me as an investor. With his help I have built a portfolio of over 50 units. He continues to exceed my expectations in overseeing renovations, tenant acquisition and relationships and more. His company, Gibson Group Property Management has perfect synergy with his real estate marketing and sales skills as a Realtor. I get detailed monthly reports I can just turn over to my tax accountants. I could not recommend him more highly. - Tim Heffner, 2011
