In this latest Indie Spotlight, we can literally say that this is Richard Mann’s World—and we are all just living in it! I always wanted to say that in a sentence, and it is fitting that I get to utter such a remark with a man who has built his empire with a knack for finding the most incredible talent in the land of XXX. For almost twenty years, this male performer extraordinaire has selectively created a film resume that is all about making porn that no one else can. 2005 was the first time I saw Richard Mann working with a stunning starlet named Sara Jay. In this picture, I saw not only two performers who were destined for the Hall of Fame, but also two porn stars who took their level of “nasty” to an entirely new realm of erotica—with kink, taboo, and fetish that would all soon become industry norms a few years later. I think perhaps that is where Richard Mann’s World was born. Every myth has its roots in reality, no matter where the tale originates. There was someone that had to inspire the stories of Hercules and I think that is what this industry innovator will forever be known for; the man who jumped-started so much in the land of fantasy. It all began with his massive member. Fast-forward to our current generation of porn stars; I still see Richard doing what he does best. Find the gems of the XXX world, polish them up in their own unique way, and set them loose upon a world to ravage. It is what I saw in 2019 with Lily Lane and Mann Handled, and it has not stopped since. Within today’s blog, we are going sit down with two of his most lovely discoveries in Richard Mann’s World: new-age anal princess Rebel Rhyder and the newest, greediest MILF slut on the planet—the lovely Aria Khaide.
I was lucky enough to speak with both of these new starlets on the rise and what I noticed about their livelihood is that this is more than a job to Rebel Rhyder and Aria Khaide. Like Richard Mann, both ladies have made what it is they do more than performance, more than a means of income. They live the true life of a performer. Both of these stunning creatures are married and what I find so amazing is that both women have husbands who love and support their porn careers. So do not think for one second, fans, that anything is off-limits with them. These are women who may love porn even more than the HotMovies readers and staff combined! Now that is a bold statement, one that both ladies told me they were so proud to share with the fans. So, I guess this means that when you see Rebel Rhyder taking a sixteen-inch dildo up that bodacious booty of hers, there is very little performance and a whole lot of reality in what you are seeing. When you are watching Aria Khaide giving a room full of stiff cocks the attention they deserve, that is not a porn star you’re watching. That is a sexually empowered woman, wife, and lover that is doing what she does, because she enjoys every second of what she is doing. It is not a drug, or some form of denial, or insecurity: oh no. These are two bright women, one a former aerospace engineer, the other a former collegiate soccer player. Both are on this mission, in this industry, because they are answering a true call of the wild. It is fitting that both of these ladies made some of their first XXX cinema with Richard Mann: in #BBC Titans 2: After Dark and Blacked By Mann. This seems to be who Richard Mann finds to star in his true independent productions each and every time.
Aria Khaide had this to say:
“As many know, I call myself the greediest slut you’ll ever meet, and there are really two people in my life who I can thank for helping me embrace that. Those two men are my husband CK and Richard Mann. It’s difficult for me to understand why so many people shame women for wanting to embrace the most natural instinct in the world: sex and their sexuality. My husband, as I have previously discussed in interviews on many platforms, was the one who told me I should get into the industry and Richard Mann was the one who helped light the fuse. Slut Training couldn’t be a truer title for his work. He makes each and every single one of his co-stars comfortable in their own skin, and in letting their true slut out. I was beyond fortunate that my ‘first day’ in the industry included Richard Mann, because he helped to solidify my choice to jump in wholeheartedly to this industry. I really cannot thank him enough for being such an amazing mentor and supporter of me not only from day one, but all the way to today, now two years later.”
That right there ladies and gentlemen, that is something that should be celebrated more than I know it will be: a woman being allowed to be a woman! It is a concept so fucking crazy that it just might work. It sure as hell does for Aria the porn star, but I think it goes deeper than that. I do believe that is a concept that Richard Mann realized many years ago with the talent he finds and lets blossom in front of his camera. If you watch his films, he is a man of intense passion. That is what gave him his name. Look closer and what you will discover is a man who does even more. Aria Khaide is not just one of the sexiest new performers in the business making a name for herself; she is also a person who is paying her dues and growing her brand as she takes this journey with her husband. Knowing this woman as well as I do, I can tell you that something else changed within Aria after the shoot that is showcased in Slut Training. It is something that I just could not put my finger on, so I went to the source herself to ask what it was that came from such a moment in her life and career. It is something that I see grow and change everyday and once again, I am not just talking about the porn star but the beautiful woman behind the alterego.
“Richard Mann was actually the first person I ever interacted with in the industry, and this was before I ever decided to jump two feet into the industry. We were friends on the Fetlife platform, and he reached out to me about having ‘potential.’ I didn’t know one thing about what I needed to do in order to get started, or how to get into the industry. He told me about everything, from ‘content is king’ to how to get on Twitter/social media, all the way to Talent Testing and what it was, and how important it is as a standard for shooting. He was an amazing mentor and still to this day, a great friend, and favorite co-star.”
Sex can be a thing that releases something more than I think society will ever give the adult film world credit for. Yes, mentors do exist within the walls of XXX. Yes, it can be a positive thing when a woman explores her sexuality within her marriage and outside it—just ask Rebel Rhyder. This new starlet is quickly becoming known as the woman looking to make a name for herself in the world of anal—dare I say, giving some of the “queens” of the industry a massive run for their money in 2021 already. Beautifully timid, fiercely sexual, and highly intelligent: that is what I think of when I see the brand and the woman that Rebel Rhyder is. Much like with Aria’s origins, Rebel made her Richard Mann debut by meeting this superstar at one of our annual conventions and awards shows. Fans may not know this, but a very common practice within the porn world occurs during conventions and expos. It is when this massive amount of talent is gathered in one venue, and many will take time to systematically shoot their own independent productions and content. The planning behind many of these shoots is precise and well-planned. Our critics would not know what to say if they observed such professionalism and execution. This is where a lot of the brilliance and splendor of Richard Mann’s World begins. This type of casting can be very tricky as you never know if what you are creating, and who you are creating things with, will become a massive hit. I myself think it takes more than just the pretty face and the ability to want to do anything on camera to become a star, and better yet, make money in this business. Richard Mann, he seems to have the luck of Las Vegas on his side every time that January rolls around.
I sat down and asked Rebel Rhyder what that had to have been like when she began in this business. Our time was spent talking about her work with Richard and to this day, Rebel seems to make shooting with Richard something not just limited to the films in Richard Mann’s World:
“Since getting into the industry, since he was the person who really kick-started it, I have done more than a few scenes with him. Richard Mann, he is his own brand. He is just one of those people who are really, really helpful to new people. He is a person who does not keep any secrets, he is the person that if you ask him, ‘How do I do this?’ He will show you how to do this. He is the person who basically told me, ‘This is how you can make money in this business.’ I think that he is a person who wants to see you be successful and will help you with all the tips and tricks that will get you there. So, yes, he is just wonderful.”
I know what you are thinking, especially if you are a fan who has just watched #BBC Titans 2: After Dark, or you are curious as to where to spend your minutes on the HotMovies website. Rebel’s scene is this sexy orgy/group scene that is anything but “mild-mannered.” You can really see where the kink began with this new starlet, who I have already had one Hall-of-Fame director tell me is going to be, “the next queen of anal.” When you look at those previews, you see massive-sized cocks, intense orgasms, and action that is anything but timid or shy, but if I were to tell fans across the globe what it is like to speak to such ladies, that is the character within the hearts of who they are as people. I would say that becoming a porn star, allowing yourself to transform into this sexual animal, I have always wondered how a starlet does such things. Especially when it is two women like Aria and Rebel. Now, I think I have a better grasp on that. They are beautiful women, sculpted by the tutelage, sexual artistry, and anarchy that is Richard Mann. Rebel’s story consists of many moments where she is laughing and blushing when reliving these scenes and productions. Then, you hear her voice go into professional mode. The one that all true hard workers have, no matter if you are an aerospace engineer, a porn star, or a writer searching for truth and honesty. That is what Richard Mann’s creations are: truth, plain and simple. I think it is what may make this month’s spotlight so true, as the man thrives off independent production, independent minds and actions. As the lovely Aria Khaide heads out to Las Vegas to shoot her next films and scenes, I asked her to walk us through her adventure with Richard and what it was like from start-to-finish like only a wife, a woman, and porn star could. All so the fans can honestly see where not just the porn star in her is coming from, but the sexually empowered woman and wife.
“We decided to shoot together while we were both going to be at an Exxxotica expo. Richard was set to be my first-ever scene in the industry, but we had to shuffle around our schedules to make things happen. Here is the fun part. Richard being the professional he is, he got to the set a little early, as I was wrapping up a super-hot scene with Rome Major and Black Pipe, so he had to hide out of frame while we finished up with his cameraman and good friend Rico Shades. One of the best things about going through the footage of that scene was seeing Richard Mann pop his head around the corner to get a peek at what he was in for. He gave a nod and eyebrow-raise of approval.”
“Getting ready for the scene, I of course was nervous. My husband was camera two and Rico was camera one. Rico tells me, ‘Okay, let’s do some promo pics, let’s get some ‘pretty girls’ in.’ Which I respond to with an ‘Oh, thanks so much,’ when in fact “pretty girls” is the term used for the stills, versus me being called a ‘pretty girl.’ I knew Richard was big but wow, let me tell you in person, I’m looking down at Richard, looking at my husband, then back at Richard. I was thinking, ‘Wow I am going to be used by this big boy, and boy do I want to see how much I can take!’ Throughout the entire scene, Richard was more than an ideal co-star. Whispering for me to let my slut out, helping to get angles that were camera-perfect… and let’s just say he ‘used’ me well! At one point in the scene, I was deep-throating Richard and I made every last inch disappear in my throat. At that moment, I couldn’t help but look up at my husband and give him, throat still filled with Richard Mann, an ‘aren’t you proud of your greedy slut wife’ look. This scene was absolutely amazing. To this day, it is one of my favorite scenes and not to mention a bestseller of mine! I want to tell the HotMovies fans, please try not to judge the zero-makeup knowledge, as well as the younger-Aria-Khaide-look, haha just kidding.”
The new age of porn that we are within, it is an amazing time. A moment in history where women are allowed to be themselves and have sexiness and sexuality as an ally in their life and not an enemy. Could it be that is what makes Richard Mann’s World a place of the future? A director/producer/performer who helps his ‘fair ladies’ to not only chase their sexual fantasies and dreams, but also helps them find all the positive places and actions within this world of XXX? If I can leave you with this last bit of information, it is that perhaps what makes this companies page a place you must visit as a fan here at HotMovies.com, it is the fact that Richard Mann has porn stars making porn that they would like to be a part of, that helped them to grow as human beings. Richard Mann’s World is one that seems to grow larger every single year. As we begin to come out of this COVID-19 pandemic, it is a company like this that I think will have a leg-up on the competition of what the future may be. Richard Mann seems to be one of the best in terms of finding talent who are destined to become stars. He has been doing that for well over a decade. If 2021 goes like I think it will for Aria and Rebel, I think that we are going to see even more from this amazing company. What better angle to follow then a porn company that makes its living by finding the true, real stars of XXX. That care, that passion is what gives Richard Mann such a well-deserved spotlight.
