According to theInternet Movie Database, between 1995 and 2005 Flex-Deon Blake appeared in 42 gay pornographic films This list includes mainstream productions such as Bacchus'sBlack Workout 10 as well as more controversial movies, such as SX Video'sBarebacking with Jeff Palmer, vol. 3, in which Blake co-starred with the well-known gay performer Jeff Palmer.[4] In 2001, Blake appeared in Dick Wadd's filmNiggas' Revenge, which the Dick Wadd website describes as "a film so controversial that many stores won't carry it."[5]Niggas' Revenge enacts the rape and sexual humiliation of a group of neo-Nazi skinheads by three African-American brothers whose rage the neo-Nazis provoked by their racist actions.
The filmNiggas' Revenge, and Flex-Deon Blake's role in it, have become the subject of academic discussion. In his book,Unlimited Intimacy: Reflections on the Subculture of Barebacking, Tim Dean, a professor at theUniversity at Buffalo, treatsNiggas' Revenge in detail because of the way in which it fetishizes the simultaneous transgression of a number of taboos, all in order, Dean argues, to "conjure the transgressive charge of unprotectedanal sex among gay men."[6] The representation of interracial sex, rape, violence, and incest (between Chris Blake andBobby Blake) is enhanced by what Dean calls Flex-Deon Blake's "phallicized" appearance:
[The African-American performers] are heavily pierced and tattooed, especially Flex-Deon Blake, who, in addition to pierced ears, eyebrow, nipples, and navel, sports a formidable Prince Albert through the head of his penis. The thick silver hoops that adorn his body are complemented by the chain-link harness that he dons for the sex scenes, along with black leather boots …[7]
Flex-Deon Blake was the long-term partner of the well-known black gay pornographic actorBobby Blake. The latter referred Flex-Deon to theadult industryproducer Edward James.[8] The story is part of Bobby's book,My Life in Porn.[9] Flex-Deon Blake, in rediscovering his Christian roots, founded the Dallas-based "BrothasNDaSpirit", a ministry that helps all people resolve any conflict betweenChristian spirituality and someone's sexual orientation.[10]
