Ryder sits down for a short interview with NDHQ between time in the studio.
How did you get into porn?
Long story short, some sex tapes I had made with an ex got published. I got fired from my job and this was pretty much the only work I could find.
How has this career affected your relationships with people? Do you feel judged by friends and family that were close to you before you started in porn?
I think it’s made me a lot more cautious, ya know. I’m not as open or friendly as I used to be with strangers. I think in the back of my mind I’m always kinda like does this person recognize me, why’re they looking at me. That’s probably a little egotistical but that’s not how I mean it. I uh, actually, I’ve only told a few people that I’m super close with about this. So, only a couple of my friends who I grew up with know and I haven’t told any of my family.
Do you see yourself as an adult entertainer for the long term? If not, what’s next for you?
Oh no. I kinda told myself this would be a pit stop before I figured out something I really wanna do with my life. I’m not sure exactly what that is, but when I know, I’ll tell ya.
If you weren’t involved in porn, what do you think you’d be doing?
Something in marketing, I hope. I mean that’s what my degrees in so I would hope it would be something to do with that.
What is your most memorable experience, good or bad, working in this industry?
I wouldn’t really say it was good or bad, it was more nerve-wracking. But for me, the most memorable thing was the first time I filmed and the first time I posted. It was a solo piece but I remember I had to close my eyes while I pressed upload. I felt like I was gonna throw up, I was so nervous.
What is the biggest advantage or perk to this career? Biggest disadvantage or drawback?
I think the biggest advantage is being able to make your own schedule, ya know, it’s not like it’s a 9-5 office job. If I wanna sleep in till 2 pm everyday, I can. If I wanna go live at 3 am, I can. The biggest drawback for me and I’m sure for everyone else who keeps their personal lives separate is that there’s a huge divide in your life. It’s almost like you’re living a double life. Ha, like a double agent or something. Not as cool though, just a lot of sex.
What do you think sets you apart from the other creators at NDHQ and in porn in general?
Uh, that’s a good question. And that’s kinda shitty that I can’t think of something right off the bat. I think what sets me apart from other people here is that, at least I’ve been told, I’ve got this ‘boy-next-door’ thing going for me. I’m not 100% sure what that even means but I’m gonna hope it’s a good thing. I think I just look like an average guy so it’s probably easy for a guy who’s watching to put themselves in my shoes. I don’t know.
What’s next for you in terms of content? What can we expect to see from your channel?
I mentioned this once before but I really wanna do something where the girl is more dominant. I mean I love being in control, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just something about a girl who takes charge. It’s hot.
Where do your see yourself in 10 years? Are you still with the company? Have you moved onto a new aspect of your life?
Uh, in that amount of time, yeah I would hope I’d have moved onto something else. I don’t wanna sound ungrateful or like this is the worst job ever or something. It’s just, I don’t see myself doing this for forever.
If given the opportunity, what would you change about the adult entertainment business
I think I would wanna address the stigma that we’ve all got Daddy issues or Mommy issues and that we’re all broken people. Like, there’s a market for this stuff. Why do we get all the shame when there’s thousands and thousands of people tuning into our stuff and buying memberships to see our stuff.
