My Life in Porn, full title My Life in Porn: The Bobby Blake Story was a revealing autobiographical book by Bobby Blake, an African-American retired gay pornographic film actor best known as a dominant top in gay pornographic films, who later retired from adult films around 2000 becoming an ordained Christian minister.
In the book was co-written by Blake and John R. Gordon and published by the Running Press of Philadelphia in 2008, Blake talks extensively about his youth and experiences in the adult film industry.
In one of the closing chapters entitled "Prodigal Returns", Blake depicts himself in biblical terms as the "prodigal son" who "had to leave [his] church and the place of [his] birth and go out there in the far country."[1] However, he continues, "in all the years I was working in the adult entertainment business, I never turned my back on God or the Bible teachings I had grown up with."[1]
Blake emphasizes however that he has no regrets about his lifestyle, interpreting it as part of God's plan for him: "Now that it's over, I can accept that that journey was all part of God's plan for me.".[2]
