WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA — Five years after launching the multi-award winning porn megasite, JasonCurious.com, JASON SECHREST has launched his latest web project, KabbalahCurious.com, a blog that explores the potential for infusing spirituality into all facets of his life, even working in adult entertainment. The blog is a far cry from his indulgent and often raunchy, sexually exploitive “Diary” at JasonCurious.com, showing a side to the porn entrepreneur no one has seen until now. Ironically, SECHREST began studying Kabbalah, the ancient wisdom born of Jewish mysticism, during the same month he began working in porn, something he sees as a sign to combine the two. “I was 18 when I started studying it and I’m 26 now, so it’s not like I’ve bought into some fad. This is something I’ve really put a lot of my time and energy into over the years and I have found it to work for me,” says SECHREST. “That doesn’t mean it is supposed to work for everyone, but I’d like to give people who are interested in it or ‘curious’ about it, the opportunity to learn more and witness how you can use it in even the most seemingly spiritually barren aspects of your life. I don’t just talk about how spirituality relates to my life in porn. I talk about how it relates to my acting career, my love life, my family, everything. Since people seem so interested in what I have to say, I feel the need to make sure what I say can make a difference, not just provide an outlet for people sexually. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! That’s important too. But if you can give something more at the same time, why not give more?” SECHREST, who recently became the youngest person in history to start his own adult video production company, DV8 Entertainment, sees similarities between what he’s doing as a pornographer and what he’s doing at KabbalahCurious.com. “It’s revealing the concealed, isn’t it?” he ponders. “That has been a constant thread in my life since I was very young and I’m starting to realize it’s part of why I was put here. I like breaking the illusion, whittling away at something until I get it naked or get to its truth. I do that at JasonCurious.com. I present who these porn stars are beyond their being objectified. I give a profile of who they are as a person and not the illusion of what you see on screen. And I do that as a pornographer for my own video company too; anytime I shoot someone taking off their clothes, I’m revealing the concealed, aren’t I? And now I’m taking it a step further in exploring the illusion that is our physical world. But there’s a tie that binds them all and I think that’s fascinating.” SECHREST says he’s prepared for detractors and has grown accustomed to suffering the slings and arrows that the business has sometimes aimed in his direction. “They told me JasonCurious.com would fail because it was combining the straight porn world with the gay porn world and they’ll tell me that combining the spiritual with the sexual will flop as well,” he shrugs. “So what? So I’m trying to become a better person and share some enlightenment with anyone who might need it. Let the world beware!” He says his hope is that porn stars and directors will visit KabbalahCurious.com and comment on his blog entries, good or bad, to post questions, opinions and their own personal experiences with spirituality. JASON SECHREST hosts his own LIVE weekly Internet talk show, “The Young & the Curious,” at KSEXradio.com every Friday night at 6:00 pm (PT), where he interviews celebrities ranging from porn performers to the stars of “NYPD Blue” and “Queer as Folk.” He also is the emcee every Thursday night at happy hour for the only weekly gay porn event at a night club anywhere in the world, “Cocktails with the Stars,” at Micky’s in West Hollywood, California. He has been listed on mainstream magazine ARENA’s Top 50 Most Powerful People in Porn list and in the past month alone has been crowned “The Oprah of Porn” by Unzipped Magazine and “Porn’s Tyke Tycoon of Talk” by Pulp Publications. He also has a web site strictly for his mainstream acting and hosting gigs at www.JasonSechrest.com.
