Porn Valley- Technically, it's ten years tomorrow for Dave Cummings in the adult industry. Cummings spent today, however, taking a walk of five miles along the beach. He'll do maybe six miles tomorrow. "I do this thing down by the beach where I go have breakfast and do a brisk walk."
Figuring this is what he does, recreationally, I casually ask Cummings if there's any thing else at his age that he does for shits and giggles. But I don't expect the answer I get. Cummings tells me he keeps a pack of groupies on hand for booty call. Most of the women are in their thirties, and he generally meets them on the Internet. But there was one time a 17 year-old got in touch with him. Cummings asked her when she turned 18. She told him the following Tuesday. Cummings told her to call him Tuesday.
Cummings and I meet on common ground. We discuss delis. Then he leaves me in the dust with his tales of groupies. Cummings thinks it's in his genes telling me a story about when his 92 year-old grandfather got in trouble at the home because he couldn't lose an erection and all the old bags wouldn't leave him alone.
Gene: You got your start in this business as a stunt cock.
Dave: That's really what happened. Background to that is that Playboy was doing a story for something called Playboy 360 on swinging. They were using this club in Escondido where the guy who ran the club recommended me as a single guy cause they wanted to see how difficult it was for a single guy to get into swinging. Boy, it was difficuly. But thanks to Nina Hartley and people I met it worked out nicely. But long story short, there was a couple there at the club who were doing some amateur films. They were bringing a girl in from Las Vegas who happened to be a fluffer later at the Annabel Chong gangbang. So I just said can I watch. They said you know what wrangling is? No. Well, you're going to have to hold the wires that lead into the monitor so it doesn't pull out and the camera can get around. The guy who was doing the scene- the poor guy- it was September in a non-air conditioned place in southern San Diego. It was one of those storage facility office buildings. He couldn't get it off. They looked and said he's giving up, can you do it? Thanks to that I got to jump in."
To put a finger on it, I ask Cummings how long he was out of the army by this time. "Six and half years," he tells me.Cummings has a degree in economics. "I had a big interest in the futures and options market," he says. "I became a broker after I retired from the Presidio in San Francisco. I did rather well at it and became the assistant manager in six months." When Cummings saw what he was making in commissions he wondered why he didn't get out of the army sooner. Cumming's box score soon got him nominated to open an office in San Diego.
"I had 30 people working for me down here and I did that for a year or two. But I had ethical and moral problems that we were all making money but the clients weren't. I felt I had to leave that. Cummings then became director of research for a company that did foreign currencies. From there he became a senior office for a mortgage company. "That's what I was doing when Playboy was doing the 360-segment."
I was curious how Cummings started making some of his inroads in the business. "I went up and registered with Reb because that was who this guy [Cummings stunt cocked for] was registered with. I saw I would have been better off registered with more than one agent." Cummings says the reason he tried to get in the business in the first place is because it looked so impossible. "I wanted to see if I could do it- it was a challenge. But I got to tell you, after my first booking in a Juli Ashton movie, the next day I worked for John Bowen in an orgy scene. I got to have sex with five girls including Stacey Nichols, Cinnamon, Jordan Hart, Monique DeMoan. It was a bunch of decent girls."
Regarding the Ashton scene, Cummings said all he had to do was cum on her pussy after fingering her. "TT Boy and Amanda Adams were having sex but the deal was Greg Dark didn't want her to be able to touch my dick- I had the cyber hand to make it like this was forbidden. And the next day I did the orgy. It was with Rod Fontana, myself and two other guys and those girls. I walked out with the biggest shit eating grin on my face. And I got paid for it."
Cummings would never describe himself as a porn fan. "But I was a very horny guy all the time." Cummings would attend swing clubs where it wouldn't be unusual for him to have with sex with five to ten women in an evenings. "Not all cum shots of course," he says. "That's the way it was." That's when Cummings tells me the story of his grandfather and how the director of activities said his grandfather was the only resident capable of an erection. "And the women are fighting over him- he's not keeping his pants on the way he should." According to Cummings, the last straw found the women in the dining facility throwing jello and spaghetti at each other for rights to an afternoon nap with Cummings' grandfather.
I mention to Cummings that this is a disturbing story. Cummings said he left it to his father to handle. "I told him it's YOUR dad." Cummings also remembers how he and his ex would stay at his parents' home. "I don't think my dad and my step mom who turns 87 this month realized how thin the walls were. They went at it every night and every morning. It's not my fault. I inherited it."
Suspecting that it might have been the turn of the century when records weren't kept, I ask Cummings about when he first got laid. He prefaces that with a stink-finger story. "When I was 9 a cousin and I played in the attic while there was a family barbecue going on in the backyard. "We were supposed to be doing the dishes but we played around a little bit." Cummings notes that his mom was one of 21 kids and his father was one of 7. Cummings grew up in a small town in New York state, eventually marrying a homewtown girl.
"So you had a lot of cousins to choose from," I venture to say. "You had no idea," Cummings replies. "Back in high school we'd go to these beer parties and I'd end up in the back seat with some girl. I would ask what time she has to be home. Where do you live. Such and such a street. Is your father named Tony? Yeah. Well, he's my cousin. You're going to have to go back and find somebody else. It happened all the time."
Asked why he got in the army, Cummings descibes his mother as very controlling. "I was a good Catholic boy going to a good Catholic school. It was one of those deals where I wanted to stay out past 9 o'clock at night. My uncle who was company commander at the National Guard unit talked to my mom on my behalf and I joined the National Guard. So every Tuesday night I went to drills which allowed me to stay up past nine AND go across the street to Rocco's Bar and Grill during our break with the older guys and drink a beer." Cummings then worked his way through college and took ROTC. "Mainly because it paid us 90-cents a day which I could use for school books. I worked like three jobs a day during summer time to pay tuition."
As ii turned out, Cummings was one of four guys out of the senior class selected to become an army officer. "I'm in for life," he says. "Right now I'm in retired status."
Noting his army travels, I ask Cummings what was the best country for getting laid.
"I don't know," he says. "During my 22 years of marriage I behaved. The worst thing I ever did was when I was temporary duty to go to meetings at the Pentagon. I was the adjutant general with the army communications command in Arizona, and I would watch an HBO Real Sex special and masturbate. I was feeling guilty about it. I confessed it to my wife. So we worked a deal out where I'd get on the phone in Washington; she's be on the phone in Arizona. We waited until the kids went to bed. Then we'd get off together on the phone. We did the same thing in Vietnam. She'd send me
tapes of her geting off and I'd send her tapes of me getting off. I've got to tell you. Finding a place in Vietnam where you can whack off and record it in privacy was not easy. Especially when I was unit commander in the 4th Infantry Division and this was during the Tet Offensive. Are you getting the feel for what kind of pervert I am? My jump into porn wasn't difficult."
Asked if he had any near bodybag experiences, Cummings said Vietnam was tough. "During the Tet Offensive we had been rocketed and mortared almost every night. That's the reason my cholesterol went up. We would go in and cook up steak and eggs afterwards in celebration."
Explaining the bust up of his marriage, Cummings says his ex-wife needed to be told that she was beautiful by someone other than himself. "She ended up having an affair with a doctor, and, later, someone else. And she left the dog and the kids and the house and me and we all felt sorry for ourselves. Then we picked ourselves up and went about things. It worked out good."
Asked if she knows that she was formerly married to Dave Cummings porn star, Cummings says his kids have told her. "She knows. She stayed here last Thanksgiving. She came over to visit my son and his family. She was starting to ask some questions so I showed her a tape when I was on Sexcetera back when I turned 63. She's going, I'm getting all hot and horny, what do you think? I said you go straight in your bedroom. I'm going in mine and I'm locking the door. This ain't right."
Getting back to when he first had sex, Cummings was 13. "It was a girl named Rita Fitzgerald from my class who later became a registered nurse as did my ex-wife," he explains. "She and I did it right after I had an emergency appendectomy. I was feeling rambunctious even though I still had the stitches. We did it very carefully."
Cummings has such a thing for nurses that he owns www.cocksuckingnurses.com. "And if you've ever seen Kneepad Nymphos 5, about five of the ten scenes have nurses outfits on the girls. I don't know if it's a fetish but it seemed like fun so I did it."
Getting back to his groupie girls, Cummings says he has one coming over tonight for booty call. "It's great," he says. "They make me chocolate chip cookies. What I like about these girls is they come in- hi, how are you and start unbuttoning their blouses and we're having sex in three to four minutes. They leave the chocolate chip cookies."
But Cummings is quick to explain that he cultivates these relationships first maybe at a Starbucks. "I want to make certain that they really are over 18."
