Dave Pounder is an adult film producer, director, and performer. He
currently lives in Boca Raton, FL and is president of Dave Pounder
Productions, an adult entertainment company that produces reality
content primarily aimed at the young, college-couples market. He is a
white male, 31 years old, 6' 3" tall, 185 lbs., with blonde hair, blue
eyes, and an athletic/slender body build. He was born in Haroldwood,
England (Essex County) while his father was working oversees for Ford
Motor Company. A few months after his birth, his family returned to
Farmington Hills, MI, a suburb approximately 20 miles northwest of
Detroit, where he spent the first 18 years of his life growing up.
Ironically, Dave attended Detroit Catholic Central High School, where
he studied college prep courses and started to develop an interest in
pornography. After graduation, he attended Michigan State University
(MSU) and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Finance. It was at MSU
where he met the first love of his life, Leslie, whom he dated and
lived with for almost 6 years.
Upon graduating from college, Dave accepted a position with GE Capital
in the Leadership Development Program (LDP), an exclusive, intensive
management training program within General Electric. The LDP program
required him to relocate ever six months to different cities including
Philadelphia, Denver, and Richmond, during which time he held key
positions in Risk Management, Finance, Information Technology, and
Marketing.
After working for two years, Dave attended Arizona State University
(ASU) and attained a Masters degree in Information Management from the
College of Business. It was at ASU where he became very active sexually
and joined the swinger community in Phoenix. Upon graduation, he
accepted a Business Intelligence Analyst position at WFS Financial, a
subsidiary of Wachovia Bank, in Irvine, California, where he purchased
a condo and resided for several years.
In addition to running his own production company, Dave is Executive
Vice President for Daydream Entertainment Group, an adult Internet
company based in Glendale, CA, which has developed a pro-am,
character-based, adult reality website around his personality,
www.bikinibanger.com. The Bikini Banger line was nominated by Adult
Video News (AVN) as Best Pro-Am Series, and the Bikini Banger Vol. 2
title was nominated as Best Pro-Am Release.
Prior to producing and directing, Dave performed in hundreds of adult
films where he was the only male performer in the business that did not
engage in anal sex scenes and refused to perform in scenes involving
violence and/or degrading of the women involved in the production. In
an effort to appeal to mainstream audiences, all movies released by
Dave Pounder Productions do not include any anal sex, violence, or
degradation toward the people involved in the production, and the
company has just instituted a condom-only policy to further protect
performers and show an element of social responsibility.
In addition to porn, Dave co-hosted Real Talk, a call-in radio show
similar to Loveline that originated in 2001 at the University of
California at Irvine on 88.9FM KUCI, where people called in to discuss
issues related to dating, relationships, pornography, politics, and
current events. Real Talk was schedule to air live on 97.1FM KLSX in
Los Angeles, but CBS Radio pulled the program on the day it was
supposed to air due to concerns over a perceived endorsement of
pornography by the station. First ever radio demos of the Real Talk
program are available for free download via Dave's website at

Dave is one of only a few porn personalities who has also gained
acceptance by the mainstream entertainment industry. He has appeared on
Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Weakest Link, Blind Date, 5th Wheel, and several
other mainstream television programs, in addition to appearing in music
videos for Fiona Apple, Engine Down, and the Willowz. He is one of only
a handful of adult celebrities with membership in both the Screen
Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio
Artists (AFTRA); in addition, he was signed to Baron Entertainment,
which is one of only a handful of SAG franchised talent agencies in Los
Angeles.
Dave is playing an active role in shaping the future of adult
entertainment and ensuring the viability of the industry. He has
consulted with health laboratories to expand STD testing and access to
secure online test results for adult performers at any given time (see
www.talenttestingservice.com). He is a strong proponent of legislating
mandatory condom use in the production, distribution, and retail sales
of adult content, raising the legal age limit to perform in adult films
from 18 to 21 years, and creating a .xxx top level domain to house
adult related websites. He has given several speeches and lectures
regarding adult entertainment at Indiana University, The University of
California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and several other respected academic
and policy institutions.
Outside of the entertainment realm, Dave enjoys kayaking, bicycling,
tennis, hiking, camping, going to the beach, and just about anything
else outdoors and active. He also enjoys watching DVDs, biographies,
and documentaries, reading non-fiction, and playing chess. He is very
interested in an active, healthy lifestyle. He does not drink, smoke,
nor is he involved with any kind of illegal drugs.
Dave was admitted to and attended a fully-funded Ph.D. program at
Indiana University (Kinsey Institute) to study the psychological and
sociological effects of sex and sexuality in media. His dissertation
was to see if there was a relationship between consumption of adult
content and the propensity to be unfaithful in a committed
relationship.
Dave's future plans include a complete retirement from performing in
adult films so he may focus on developing an intimate relationship,
producing a television documentary on the social, psychological and
economic costs of performing in adult films, syndicating his radio show
nationwide, attaining a black belt in Hung Gar and/or Muay Thai, and
ultimately writing a book about all of his experiences.
Dave's all-American, boy-next-door looks, coupled with his charming
personality, intellectual curiosity and drive to succeed are sure to
propel him further into the spotlight as he continues to pursue both
adult and mainstream ventures.
