NL-Wankus & I have been friends for a lot of years, and I love the guy. The reason I haven’t mentioned him on this site, is that a long time ago he asked me not too. The video below was sent to me by Shelly Lubben and you have got to see. I don’t think Wankus will mind because, he made it and posted it for people to see. So here is his story of leaving porn, finding Jesus, and being saved. He also mentions he has brought some porn stars to his church and they have been saved also.
Wow – good for him. Sometimes you just have to do in life what’s right for you. I’m glad he was brave enough to make a change in his life to feel better about himself, lifestyle and choices.
You rock Wayne! I applaud your courage and strength to share your amazing testimony with the world. My prayer is everyone in the industry will be inspired by you and give God a chance to do amazing things in their lives. It isn’t about religion. It’s about living the greatest life you can live and Jesus simply wants to help you do that. He loves you and made you for greater things than porn!
Love you so much and love all of you!
Shelley
I’m just waiting for the Christian minister who decides to give up Jesus for porn.
I think it’s awesome that Wankus was healed. However, I am skeptical that this healing thus proves that Jesus did it, or that there even was an historical Jesus as we generally know it, and whatnot…
There are healers and they exist and have existed in many places and in many religions. We are all powerful beings, connected to “God”, as we call it.
I’m not an atheist, but I’m not necessarily a theist, either. There definitely is a power and intelligence that exists within and around us that we can tap into.
Although life is full of miseries and what not, it’s not all just some unexplainable cosmic accident out of nowhere that provides us with all we need to survive and all the varieties of food and vegetation which sustain us. Meditation is one way of discovering that power. Prayer is another.
Meanwhile, I’ve always felt that a personification of nature/the universe may serve us mentally and emotionally, but ultimately it’s slander because all that is is beyond what we can mentally understand.
Deification may be as real as we believe it to be but it is also divisive. But regardless, I’ve had people pray for me and good things have happened after that. I’ve also have voodoo dolls given to me that were supposed to attract money and after getting it I got several calls for work. Some call it black magic.
I think smoking cigarettes kills more than porn, and although pornography doesn’t readily address matters of the heart, “God” still exists everywhere. You don’t necessarily have to quit porn to find God, no more than you have to stop masturbating to find God.
Porn is just a masturbatory aid, and one can say that all sex is masturbation unless there’s love, and some say God is love…. yadda yadda…
Eastern religious philosophy teaches that all energy is one so it’s not necessarily a matter of running away or dropping one thing to find another. It’s just a matter of where you focus it. One of the chakras is the sex chakra.
Ultimately one should transcend all these mundane levels we exist on in the third dimension, and in time each of us inevitably will…
If Wayne feels better about this transformation from Wankus to Wayne then good for him and nobody should be able to say anything negative to him. I have always like him and enjoyed seeing him at parties and of course at his internet radio/TV shows. He was always a great business friend to X-Play and we shared a common background in the music business and then in porn so it was very easy to like him.
He made a decision that was right for him at that time. Similar decisions are made all the time by others in the entertainment industry but what is right for Wayne and others is not always right for everybody. I don’t think you should paint a broad brush stroke like Shelly does when she states “Jesus loves you and made you for greater things than porn.”. She is certainly entitled to her opinion but I think personal decisions are best made to individuals and to not lump us all in the same basket.
Listen to the lyrics of the classic song Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Not all of us are in troubled waters yet Wayne apparently felt he was. So this church is a great thing for him. I personally don’t feel I am in troubled waters so maybe I am just ignorant. I enjoy my business and my lifestyle that it has afforded me and I hope to continue in the entertainment business until I am ready to retire. Maybe one day I will feel the same way as Wayne feels but right now I love making entertaining movies with beautiful young ladies like Not the Cosbys XXX 2 in stores Feb 9th. Good luck to Wayne and also good luck to Shelly. I have nothing but well wishes for both of them.
WOW! I love how I’m on here now giving my 2 cents worth.
Wankus is a friend of mine, and I’m glad he’s happy. But I don’t understand why he had to leave the industry. My theory is God loves porn stars too. I wouldn’t call myself a religious freak, but I am spiritual, and I proudly say I’m a porn chick that attends church every Sunday. After losing my job and praying hard for a solution, that’s when porn came into my life. I believe that sexuality is a God given gift and it needs to be shared. Having sex on camera is one of my talents. More power to Wankus, but I don’t understand why he had to leave the industry.
Shelley versus Will/Jeff, reminds me of an old line by Bob Lemon when the Yankees paid him off to leave:”Every whore has his price, meat”. I hope Wankus doesnt get stuck with Shelley, hope he finds his own way. When will Janine find Jesus, sad thing about Jesus, it takes time to pay those damn tax bills.
HAHAHAHAHA
It’s interesting how some people find *Jesus* after they fail at everything else in life.
By the way, if you think the story of some smut peddler finding Jesus is entertaining, then you got something to learn. I wish I was making this up, but it’s true:
Recently vbs.tv released a documentary titled: The Vice Guide to Liberia. It’s about the civil war, povery and AIDS in one of the most devastated countries on the planet. At the beginning of the documentary, we’re introduced to an ex-militia leader who during the civil war was called *General Butt Naked*. The reason he was called *Butt Naked*, is because prior to engaging in battles, he used to get naked, drink the blood of innocent children and eat their flesh. Reportedly, he and his group killed up to 20000 people. Here is the best part: After the war, General Butt Naked converted to christianity; and today he’s the pastor of a popular church where families and parents of the children whose flesh and blood was consumed by Butt Naked, go to worship Jesus Christ.
Now get the fuck out of here, Wankus.
So, he’s going to do the pancake and porn circuit now?
Him doing porn was weird. Once he got mad that Playgirl wouldn’t hire him along with his wife for a movie because he wasn’t hot enough when the guys in Playgirl movies tend to be centerfolds like Niko, Tony DeSergio, Jean Val Jean, Dera, etc
Well said, Lucky.
After all, why do you think people yell “Oh God” when they cum?
——After the war, General Butt Naked converted to christianity; and today he’s the pastor of a popular church where families and parents of the children whose flesh and blood was consumed by Butt Naked, go to worship Jesus Christ.
Colonel, it’s indeed one long, vicious cycle. It’s obvious that these sorry people never really change, they just substitute one bullpen/pulpit/whatever for another. A prideful attention whore will always be a (sin of) prideful attention whore. To call this being “saved” is a complete farce.
Hopefully he apologizes to all the girl he scammed into doing free scenes for his “radio” show.
Yeah that “radio” show that only existing on the internet and that only steve nelson and other hanger on’s listened to.
He’s simply moved on from one scam into another.
Next he will be asking for donations.
There is a lot of money in finding God. Maybe Wankus hopes to make a living this business. Preach the word…pass the plate around.
You’re spot on, Mr. President, this vicious cycle goes back to the origins of christianity, the origins of humanity itself. Only a sick, pathetic fool will call this monstrosity *saved*; that’s why I’m waiting for Shelly Lubben to come along and claims General Butt Naked is the testimony to god’s glory.
you are so cool Colonel
Wankus ‘found “god”‘ because he has flunked the fuck out of every other career put in front of him. The jeebus racket is already rife with two-bit hucksters, Wayne, more than are found in the jizz bizz and radio.
Was he lost?
All the best to Wayne. I do wonder if he didn’t figure out the best racket in America is religion. Should be looking out on the religious airwaves or internet radio for his next show?
Ruby, he was lost after cheating on his first girlfriend he brought into KSEX (Daisy) with Tyler Faith, completely screwing her over, then having Tyler Faith cheat on him and then screw him over.
Not to mention the problems with the guys who owned both KSEX and Rude. So he had no choice apparently but to leave the industry.
If this truly helps him with his life then good for him, but he’s far from a saint if anyone actually tried to find out what things he did before he was miraculously saved.
Wankus found god……and god is a crip
Will Ryder “Maybe one day I will feel the same way as Wayne feels but right now I love making entertaining movies with beautiful young ladies like Not the Cosbys XXX 2 in stores Feb 9th. Good luck to Wayne and also good luck to Shelly.”
Leave it to Will Ryder to, even in the midst of discussing a guy who left the same business he’s in for that which is in direct opposition to said industry, to shamelessly plug what else but…himself!
We better hope Ryder never finds ‘god’, as can you imagine the sermons;
Dear lord, let us pray for the poor, the hungry, the lost souls who need your nourishment…show them the way to salvation, show them the way to everlasting love and Christian fellowship and most importantly, show them where to buy Not The XXX Nativity Story on sale Easter weekend, Amen!!!
Loved it sammyglick! Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Damn right I am always promoting even when I am sleeping. Not the Nativity Story XXX hmmmmm.
As Lennon wrote in a song, “whatever gets you through the night.” And I’m all for that b/c I”ve had my problems w/ drugs and all the other typical nonsense, however, religion never was right for me.
I don’t know this dudes story but when it comes to doing things you’re not supposed to be doing and when that guilt comes into play it’s a horrible horrible thing to get over.
The question will be how long can he sustain this ‘new’ way of life? And if he uses just “faith” alone it won’t keep him healthy, well at least w/ the majority of people. It’s good that he’s letting his emotions out b/c letting go and opening up is very gratifying and uplifting but I would go the therapist route b/c after-all, they’re not going to judge the way a church does folks.
What does it take to start your own religion, anyway? If L. Ron Hubbard can do it, so can I!
Steele, your church would have to be The Church of Steal, but it would be the most accurately named religion of the last 100 years. Funny that Luke, the namesake for this site, found god and is dirt poor. If he keeps growing that beard though he might be able to get into the Diamond Business.
Wankus was not a porn producer or performer! He was a fan that was married to a porn whore trying to be someone in the business. He was a funny guy and fun to hang out with at porn parties but he was not anyone in porn other than a talk show host on a porn radio station. He was another tony batman. I bet you wont find on picture of either of there cocks or one porn movie they shot.
And that would be relevant how?
Guess you can waste your own (highly valuable) time looking for cocks. BTW, how’s the jet-ski rental business going?
Wankus has an IAFD page for directing. And Tony did perform in a handful of movies. One I remember watching was a woman performing oral on him.
When I first saw this video, I thought it was a joke. I thought he was trying to wank us. That was before I watched the whole thing.
When the story first came out months ago, I thought it was a joke or a publicity stunt. His friends were saying he didn’t want to talk about it. So of course I tried requesting to be friends on Myspace so I could ask him a few questions. He turned down my request. But after seeing the video, yeah he’s serious and it’s not a joke. Good luck to him and his new life!
1. Wankus
Years Active: 2004-2006
Titles: 5 he got director credits on with no sex. I bet he shooting second camera.

1. D.J. Batman
aka: Tony Batman
Years Active: 2004-2006
Titles: 2 and 1 of them was a non sex role
like i said they are both fans and nothing more.
Donny Long “he was not anyone in porn other than a talk show host on a porn radio station”
Why say anything more after that. Does it get any lower on the porno food chain!?! Even the drivers to crazy female porn talent get more respect….
Maybe Wankus can move to Bakersfield,caliphonia and start his own church and radio show up there. Call if the wankus church of christ, INC and make money like Shelly has there in Buggersfield. The Bible Belt?.
Since Wankus has been gone has there been more work for Powder?
