J.C. Adams

Writer
JC Adams was born, raised and educated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Upon graduation from college with departmental honors and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Professional Writing, he defied the wishes of his parents and advisors and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as an author, where he quickly amassed a large collection of unproduced screenplays and rejected manuscripts.

In 1995, Adams found a freelance job reviewing porn films. That same year, he joined the volunteer organizers of the now-defunct Gay Erotic Video Awards. He parlayed the attention these jobs brought him into a career of moderate renown as a journalist, blogger, magazine editor, publicist, production manager and director.

He has worked as a reporter for adult industry trade publications ‘XBIZ’ and ‘Adult Video News’ and has served as the editor of several publications, including ‘Unzipped’ and the widely read ‘Adam Gay Video Directory.’ In early 1998, Adams began writing the weekly gossip and news column ‘The Adams Report by JC Adams,’ which he self-syndicated. The popular column morphed into the website GayPornTimes.com in 2007. The site was named Best Gay Porn Blog of the Year (2010) by the JRL Gay Film Awards, and Best Porn Blog by the Grabby Awards (2011).

Adams is regularly cited in the media for his views on sexuality, the pornography industry and pop culture. He was profiled by Dr. Kevin Clarke for Bruno Gmünder’s ‘Porn: From Andy Warhol to XTube,’ which led to ‘Gay Porn Heroes,’ his first book. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
