The holiday spirit: Error 404. Page Not Found.
I’m sitting here at 12:39 AM with my column due later today, and I cannot think of anything to write. Sounds odd to say that since there are an infinite number of subjects to write about, but I got nothing. I’m trying to avoid anything to do with politics since
Post-election thoughts on how to navigate through these unsettling times
It’s been a month since the election and we’ve had a chance to take a deep breath and calm down after what has been one of the most acrimonious and hate-filled elections in history. Unfortunately there has been little calm; many people are feeling angry and frustrated, as evidenced by
A very special interview with my oldest son J
This is an interview I have been working on for several months and is very special to me for obvious reasons. I initially came up with the idea of interviewing my oldest son J because he’s had the unique perspective of knowing me before my transition as his dad, and
It’s time to end the shaming of the Porn Industry and those who work in it.
This is a subject I’ve written about before, but due to recent events I feel the need to address it again. Shame is something we cannot ignore or pretend doesn’t exist. Unfortunately shame is all too prevalent in today’s society and is used as a means of taking away people’s

What Veterans Day means to this trans veteran
I had my Veterans Day column all written and ready to go, but after the events of the past 24 hours I decided to trash it because what I’d written no longer seemed relevant. The landscape of our country has suddenly undergone a seismic shift and my view of this
Through The Benz: Six months and counting!
I just realized it was six months ago this week that I began writing Through The Benz on Grooby.com, so I thought I’d write a short column looking back over the past half year and share my thoughts about what it’s been like for me to write the column and
Being Becca: Thoughts on the Five Year Anniversary of my transition
November 1st was the Five Year Anniversary of when I began living full-time as Becca. I must be getting old and losing track of time because it sure doesn’t seem like it’s been five years already! But one thing I do know for certain is that I’ve lived life more
Chatting with the one and only Honey Foxxx!
Honey Foxxx has established herself as one of the premiere stars of trans porn over the course of her ten year career. It’s only been recently that I’ve gotten to know Honey and it’s hard not to be impressed by how intelligent and articulate she is and how she’s so
Becca Benz shares her thoughts on politics and the 2016 Presidential Election
As some of you may have noticed, politics is a subject I rarely discuss on social media. It’s not because I don’t care or I’m politically unaware, it’s because politics have becomes so ugly and divisive that any conversation having to do with politics usually ends badly. We as a
The story of me and my car
My car and I have a long history together which began way back in 1997. I’m not the kind of person to get attached to a vehicle or give it a name, but after all these years I do feel a bond with my car. She doesn’t have a name,
The Art of Porn: Al Tom and his Skin City project in Part 2 of our interview
When you ask most people what they consider art, porn is usually not at the top of the list or even on the list, oftentimes because they find porn morally objectionable. Be that as it may, the fact remains that the human body is a beautiful thing which has been
[Interview] The Talented and Mysterious Al Tom of Altomic Visuals
Al Tom was one of the first people I got to know when I was new to the industry. We met for the first time the day I arrived in Los Angeles for TEA 2015, and we did a shoot for the swimsuit issue of Transformation Magazine that same day.
Reflecting back on the two year anniversary of my shoot with Grooby
Yesterday, September 20th 2016, marked the two year anniversary of my shoot with Grooby for Shemale Yum. It’s hard to believe it’s already been that long, but as I look back over the past two years that shoot was an important event in my life because it led to so
Buddy Wood talks about photography, modeling, the porn industry, and the Cubs!
When I first approached Grooby about writing for them my initial idea had been to do a series of interviews with photographers, because the models get interviewed all the time but the photographers aren’t nearly as well known. And as someone who has had a life-long interest in photography, I
A Day in the Life
One of my favorite songs, “A Day In The Life” by the Beatles, came to mind when thinking of a title for this column, which wasn’t the original post I had intended for today, but the events of the past 24 hours (Monday August 29th – Tuesday August 30th) kind
The Joy of Dancing
For most of my life I hated dancing. I can count on one hand the number of times I danced prior to my transition, and those were at the insistence of my wife when I was married. But then at the ripe old age of 53 I finally became enlightened
Thoughts on the party, the business, and personal accountability
The Grooby 20th anniversary party was every bit as wonderful as I imagined it would be. It was nice having so many people there to share in celebrating such a special occasion. But the best part was seeing friends and having the time to talk and reconnect. The night was
Grooby 20th Anniversary
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Grooby Productions. To mark this special occasion I wanted to do a column about what Grooby means to you; the fans, the models, the employees, the photographers, everyone. I asked you to share your thoughts about what makes Grooby special to you, whether
Surviving, and asking for help
