As a subject of Gay Studies

The film Niggas' 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 the University at Buffalo, treats Niggas' 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 unprotected anal sex among gay men".[4] The representation of interracial sex, rape, violence, and incest (between Chris Blake and Bobby Blake) is enhanced by what Dean calls Flex-Deon Blake's "phallicized" appearance.

Personal life

Blake was the long-term partner of Flex-Deon Blake, another black gay pornographic actor.[1]It was Bobby Blake who, by referring Flex-Deon to the producer Edward James, introduced his partner to the adult industry.[2] Bobby Blake has told the story of their relationship in his book, My Life in Porn.[3]

Blake has written that despite being "known for being a gay porn-star, I define myself as bisexual...In fact I have dated women", although most of his serious romantic relationships have been with men.[7]
