Michael Vegas came out of Huntington Beach, so beach life’s all he’s ever known. He wasn’t raised religious, lost his virginity at eighteen with his girlfriend, and started screwing around pretty quick after that. His craziest stories outside sex are a strip-club brawl in Thailand where he ran from the cops on a motorcycle, riding the back of a fourteen-foot manta ray, and sitting inside a dust storm that turned into rain mixed with locusts. Before porn he wanted to be a stuntman, a firefighter, or a nurse. He talked his way in—smooth with a quick line. Favorite movie: O Brother, Where Art Thou?. He’ll watch anything, even horror, so long as it doesn’t let his mind wander. Off-set he chases happiness, wisdom, and flow. He thinks Pure Taboo is a problem: sure the scenes mirror real abuse, but they slap a hard-on on them, which glorifies exactly what they should condemn. He calls it dangerous because no one should get turned on watching a caretaker corner a kid for sex, and he believes it leaves permanent scars. When asked if he’s ever been caught doing something off-limits, he just shrugged and said, “Does anal count?”
