Interview: Vinnie Russo
By Aaron LawrenceSaturday February 20, 2010 at 3:14 pm PST
Vinnie Russo is the face of Str8 Boyz Seduced, better known as Sneak Peek Videos. He recruits straight guys who either need the cash or hope to do future straight porn work in return for doing a jackoff test session, then sees just how far they'll go with him on camera. The results, as you might expect, are highly variable and often quite surprising.
Vinnie Russo, the "str8" boy seducer himself
GayGeek: Tell us a bit about yourself - what roles have you held in the porn industry and what are you doing now?
Vinnie Russo: I was working as a head of security for a large local protection agency when I got an offer through a friend to do some work with All Worlds in CA. It seemed like easy money so after a couple flicks (Barracks Glory Hole 2, Brothers) I decided to start my own company. Currently I'm working with CJ at KjCASH to get the membership website rolling full steam. In the down time I enjoy fast cars and spending time with my Bengal cat, Bacci.
G: Your company, Sneek Peek Videos, is famed for its focus on your seduction of straight men on camera. How did your fixation on straight guys come about, and how many straight guys do you estimate you have played with?
VR: I think I started with the neighborhood boyz in my youth and discovering local Peepshow Arcades (lots of horny husbands) so with all the Sneek Peek models I'd say it's got to be over 150 guys. When I trained security officers in my job I really learned how to chat them up and get them to lower their "guards" - and that led to a few hot encounters! One Sneek Peek model (Dylan) used to work for me and later showed up on my doorstep looking for a "job".
G: Describe your production process, from when a model first walks in the door to his video being posted on your website?
VR: Many of the models come right off the street, from adult bookstores or are referred by friends. They show up and I turn on the camera, and whatever happens, happens. I can usually read them right away, but as the interviews continue I asses how far I can go. If they've been here before it gets easier and easier of course. My indispensable partner Michael takes the raw footage, does minimal editing and writes up some descriptions then transfers it to CJ.

G: Time and time again your videos end with you jacking off, sucking, or fucking your models. What is your approach for seducing an unsuspecting straight model?
VR: I try my best to relate to them on their level, speak their language, seem interested in their problems and situations... complementing them a lot also works! Many think that dealing with me will lead to other work - with women - so they are willing to put up with my "fussing" with them. They soon realize out how good they feel when they're with me and get hooked to that feeling! Also not bringing attention to the camera after it first starts rolling allows them to forget its there...so it feels like it's just between two guys.
G: You have sucked and fucked numerous models on video. Tell us about both a surprisingly fun model you worked with as well as a particularly difficult one.
VR: An early model Tony was just a hoot! He was like a Jersey Shore Guido with more stories than O. Henry! He had a great laugh that would bellow after he shot a big load. Buzz and C.J. were also great fun, they would do whatever you wanted them to do! But I've been unlucky with some who I ended up only filming once: Jose, Rafel and Willis. Real tough nuts were Zack and Gianni: I finally got to jerk them off once, then they never returned. I never did get punched though!

G: What advice would you offer to anyone interested in entering the world of seducing straight guys on camera?
VR: Since I started doing this years ago, the "straight seduction" interest has exploded and now many guys are more aware of the opportunities. It may cost more now to pay for their "participation" than it used to but I've come to believe that there isn't a straight man, who, under the right circumstances, can't be had to some level. Patience is the biggest part of it, don't rush the interaction and be prepared to offer more money if they resist!
G: Even the sexiest daddies fade in time and must retire from the spotlight. What do you envision your future in the industry to be?
VR: I am still enjoying the things I'm doing so I will just continue till it isn't fun anymore! Plus there are always new fans to be found for my work... Perhaps a local university will ask me to teach a course, maybe "Straight Seduction 101"? Peace out...
