Porn Star Tea: Derek Kage
Article written by Alexander Rodriguez, host of On the Rocks with Alexander
Adult film star Derek Kage is that smoldering, Southern boy, chiseled face, hunk of a man that fantasies are made from. The tattoos, the fact that he is an amazing cook, has soccer player legs and ass, and is very gifted in the crotch department don’t hurt either. Oh, did we mention he’s an extremely intelligent chatterbox and a total nice guy? Swoon doesn’t begin to describe what we do when the name Derek Kage pops up. His studio content is hot, his Fans content is hot, and his red carpet looks are hot…he is just HOT.
An Alabama boy, he’s got the manners and the deep Southern voice. Well endowed, people assume he only tops but just check out his content, he’s a star no matter what side of the bed he is on. He’s been very open about overcoming obstacles from his childhood, and how he has found a safe place and family in the adult industry. He also writes some great erotica. What can’t he do?
We chatted with Derek for this Andrew Christian exclusive about his early sexuality, his first scene, and, of course, underwear.
What was the sexiest part about growing up a good ol’ Southern boy?
That’s one of the things about the South that a lot of people don’t realize—we have it engrained in us to be charming and sexy. We learn early on and very quickly to be masters of flirtation. We can’t help that our words are smoother than butter.
When do you first start to realize your sexuality may be a bit different than those around you?
I actually realized this from a very early age. I won’t say how early, but just know that I never saw anything wrong with expressing my sexuality and what turned me on. I also found it even more exciting to explore that sexuality as much as I could—with proper consent, of course.
Have you always been an exhibitionist?
Absolutely. I have always been comfortable being in just underwear or even naked just about anywhere. I think it’s worked out well for me, you know?
What was filming your first scene like, were you nervous?
My first scene had it all. Kink, passion, verbal, etc. and I don’t think the feeling I had was nervousness. The overwhelming feeling was “this is finally happening.” I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life and it was happening in the best way. Dillon Diaz was my scene partner and Dominic Pacifico was the director, I couldn’t have asked for two better people to break me in (literally and figuratively).
What is your favorite kind of scene to film?
Any scene where I get to showcase all of my talents. One where my voice, my body, my versatility, and my passion are all happening in one scene so the fans can really see the whole package. Throw in a little dirty talk and some kink and the fans will really be in for a fun viewing experience!
How is Derek on screen the most different than Derek in person?
On-screen Derek Kage is not so different from the real-life Derek. I like to say I’m whatever the occasion calls for in life and on film. Unless I’m bound and gagged I will usually just be myself no matter if I’m in the studio or if you walk up to me on the street.
How is your sex life most different than what we see on camera?
Believe it or not, what you see on my OnlyFans or in studio porn is very similar to how my sex life is when the cameras aren’t rolling. I feed off of the chemistry I have with my partners and usually adapt to the occasion to make it as enjoyable as possible. The only real difference is studio porn is just a tiny bit more choreographed and scripted than my actual sex life.
What are your biggest pet peeves about the adult industry?
I really have no pet peeves about the adult industry. My main pet peeve, which applies to any industry, is a lack of respect for people and their well-being. Empathy and respect for boundaries go a very long way for me.
What are your favorite parts about being in the adult industry?
The people. The directors, casting directors, writers, performers, etc. because people in the adult industry are some of the most respectful, empathetic, and understanding people I’ve ever met. The performers are also really hot and sexy and I sometimes pinch myself that I get to work with some of the sexiest people in the world.
What are some outside hobbies or talents you have that we would be surprised to learn?
I think most of my hobbies and talents are known since I display them regularly. I’m a jack of all trades and a master of some. I was a trophy-winning soccer player. I am a very accomplished cook; French and Mexican being my favorite cuisines. I am working on becoming a voice actor and some of my studio work revolves around my voice as a main part of the film (Cruising Confidential-Raging Stallion). I also write erotic posts on my OnlyFans if you’re a fan of reading erotica.
What kind of underwear are you wearing around the house on a day off?
Around the house on a day off doesn’t involve underwear—or any kind of clothing for that matter.
What kind of underwear on a guy turns you on the most?
I have to say a thong will get me so turned on in the most intense way. There is something about a thong that checks all the boxes of sexiness for me.
Who is your celebrity crush?
Simply too many to list, but the first one that comes to mind is Maluma. A sexy, Latin man that can move his hips? Chef’s kiss.
Do you have a worst date story?
I’ve actually had a lot of great dates throughout the years. I’ve never been on a date where I left feeling like it went horribly. I had a few where I got a little bored, but nothing that was truly awful. I do have horrible hookup stories though.
What are your top 3 favorite movies?
Interview with the Vampire (Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt version), El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth), and O Brother, Where Art Thou?
How can a guy impress you the most?
A guy that can engage in witty banter, shows empathy, and can cook as well as I can would be a recipe for a great impression. Know anyone?
What do you want most out of your film career?
I want to go to every production and scene knowing that I’m putting my best performance out there for the fans to enjoy. I want every viewer to know that when they see that Derek Kage is in the film they will get the sexiest and most enthusiastic performance from me.
If you were to design a pair of Andrew Christian underwear, what would they look like?
It would be a thong with just a nice pouch in the front to accentuate your bulge. Maybe have a little lace in the back for that added flair. They would be available in every color imaginable to have that little personal touch. I would also design it to be removed easily—preferably with my teeth.
