FTM model and director James Darling traveling to Philly June 12-16th!

Hey everyone!

I’m going to be at the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference for the first time ever this year! I’m so excited to get to meet so many awesome people and go to great workshops and present a workshop of my own on trans porn! 

While I’m in Philly I am looking for a few trans guys who want to be a part of my site FTMFUCKER.com! I have one or two slots left, so please fill out an application on my sitewww.ftmfucker.com/casting asap! I am especially looking for gay couples (cis guy or trans guy)  this time around!

I am also looking for places to crash in Philly during June the 12th-16th. 

I am also entertaining the idea of visiting NYC either before or after the conference (another city I’ve never been to and desperately want to visit!). If you want to book me for something (porn, modeling, speaking, go go dancing, etc) hit me up at jamesdarlingxxx@gmail.com!

Anonymous asked: I want a career like yours, what do i do?

Sell your first born to rumpelstiltskin/satan? just kidding. sort of. 

Not to ruin the fantasy, but honestly having a “career” as a porn performer is almost impossible these days. It’s more of a hobby (a hobby that didn’t happen overnight, doesn’t necessarily pay well, and takes a LOT of work) this is the case for me and for most other porn performers I know. I still have other jobs outside of porn to pay my bills!

Porn is fun and I wouldn’t trade it for anything and I encourage anyone who’s interested to give it a shot, but just with the caveat that you’re probably not going to make a million dollars getting naked (though maybe you will! who am I to know? :P) 

If you want to be in porn the first step is to apply to companies you want to shoot for. Most sites have a model call/casting call section. Take some photos and go for it!

Not making any promises, but trans guys interested in being in porn can also fill out a model app for my site ftmfucker! www.ftmfucker.com/casting 

I also talk about this more in depth on original plumbing:

Anonymous asked: why'd you pick the last name Darling?

For a lot of reasons! I was already going by James Fancy (Mr. Fancy) when I was a boylesque performer in the south. I liked the name James and wanted a different last name when I started to do porn. I wanted to continue to honor my southern roots, and “darling” is a common term of affection, used the same way you might call someone “sweetheart” or “honey” and I find it charming and sweet.

Darling also has a long history in the transsexual and porn community as a last name, and I have always looked up to performers like “Candy Darling” and “Gia Darling” (the latter jokingly but affectionately calls herself my porn mother) and I have yet to meet a “Darling” I don’t like! 

All the feelings!!! received this message this morning and it made me tear up a bit:

“Hi James,

I’m a FtM from Europe,where they’re trying to ban porn because of it’s portrayal of women(!), instead of focusing on how to improve or alter the industry.
And where transitioning costs are covered for those diagnosed with gender dysphoria, but you’re still seen as mentally ill through the eyes of doctors, as well as society. So many people don’t have a great deal of self confidence left after having transitioned, and in the near future no way of seeing other trans people enjoying their bodies sexually. You and your work challenge those views that are so ingrained in the porn industry and trans-community over here, 
-that porn is always degrading to women, and always misogynistic, and that trans people should be ashamed of their bodies.-
And not only does your work challenge those views, it also teaches that the accepting of our bodies, can come through media like porn and erotic photography, 
and that it’s something that is really needed when society is still viewing our identities as something to be diagnosed, and therefor be ashamed of.
Because of that, you are a real inspiration to me, and many other queers and transguys I know.
Just wanted to share this with you.”
