About
Born and raised in Southern Utah on a 1,200-acre farm, adult star Cavin Knight always had an interest in the adult film industry, but growing up he wanted to be a magician. Today, Cavin is a magician, but his magic wand is his dick and instead of making rabbits disappear, he makes his clothes disappear.
He originally started out modeling and, after ten years, he reached a point where he wanted to step up his exhibitionistic interests. He was always interested in porn and enjoyed watching it and decided he would give it a go. It seemed like the perfect next step from modeling. Always in shape, Cavin worked even harder to sculpt his physique.
In August of 1999, Cavin moved to San Diego and attended San Diego State University. However, when he came out to his parents, he was cut off. He worked hard to make it on his own and when he felt a little more stable, Cavin enrolled at the University of California, San Diego. He eventually received his certification as a bookkeeper, as well as a Professional Certificate in Business Administration with an emphasis on Human Resources. Currently, he is the Chief Administrative Officer for a Southern California company, overseeing operations, accounting, information technologies, and human resources.
Cavin, like many others in the porn industry, proves that there is more to him than the general perception. “There are many smart, funny, kind, honest, genuine and fun people in the industry,” says Cavin. “I think sometimes people have the impression that it’s all shady, seedy, dark people but that has not been my experience at all. I have met some people who I genuinely like and who I now consider good friends. I do believe people attract those who have similar energies, if you will, and I believe I’m a good, happy, well-rounded person so I suppose that’s why I’ve met such great people.”
Cavin maintains his daytime job because his philosophy is that no porn actor should expect to make a permanent living solely in the porn industry. He believes that performers need to have diverse interests and talents because no one lasts forever in the industry.
Simply enough, Cavin got into the industry by going online to the websites of companies who had content that he liked and completed the online applications to model. He quickly heard back from most of them so it was just a matter of which was filming first and had a role for him. He applied with most major studios in August of 2010 and by September of 2010, Cavin was on a Mustang Studios set with Erik Rhodes directing.
To date, Cavin has worked with Mustang Studios, Channel 1 Releasing, Cocksure Men, Lucas Entertainment, Hot House Entertainment, Raging Stallion Studios, Titan Men, and Hard Friction.
Inspiration for Cavin comes from many different places and in many different forms. In the world, he loves people who have risen above adversity to achieve great things, loves the beauty in architecture, art, dance, nature and a well-proportioned body.
Sexually, he is one-hundred percent versatile. “I like to say I’m a verbal, aggressive top and an eager, power bottom,” says Cavin. For Cavin, it really depends on the partner(s) and chemistry involved. As a top, Cavin’s favorite position is doggy style with his hands on their hips, thrusting them onto his cock. When he is the bottom, Cavin prefers being on his back with his legs wrapped around the fuckers’ waist. As long as there is lots of body contact, he is satisfied.
One person that Cavin has always respected and would like to work with is Francesco D’Macho. His ultimate sexual fantasy is to be strapped into a sling in a dimly-lit dungeon with a dozen or so smoking hot, muscular guys surrounding him and taking turns on his ass and pleasuring his body.
One of the many things that Cavin can credit to the porn industry is his attitude towards sex and sexuality. In the past, he had the same usual labels (gay, bi, straight, etc.) associated with people that most everyone has, but he’s learned that sexuality truly is more in the grays than in the black’s and white’s. “There are plenty of ‘straight’ guys in porn who still enjoy the physical act of sex with another guy,” says Cavin. “Sex is all about what feels good to you and what turns you on, it doesn’t define what your sexuality is.”
Cavin’s aspirations are to continue to expand the type of work he does and have a diverse portfolio of styles, studios, and scene partners. When asked about the day he retires from the porn industry, Cavin states that he would like to look back on his career and think that his career was exactly as he envisioned it. He also states that he would like to feel that he had a healthy body of work and that his fans and followers associate him and his work as not only entertainment, but also as art.
One goal that Cavin would love to achieve is to make a workout video. However, unlike most, his would be a naked exercise video! To him (and certainly others), the gym and hot bodies are such a turn-on that he thinks it would be not only informative, but also hot!
When Cavin is not at work, he can be found sculpting his 5’7”, 170-pound physique in the gym. He constantly challenges his body and routinely changes up workout regimens. Cavin considers himself a melting pot of oxymoronic diverse interests, which include traveling, architecture, road trips, working out, great food & wine, opera, card/board games, dance, film and circuit parties. He also considers himself a tech “nerd.”
Cavin currently resides in San Diego, California with his two cats – Winston and Kona.

hey there, i am a asian.
love ur lovely body very much..
u know what, i am a gay and in my country, it takes a lot guts and courages to reveal who u r…
sometimes u’ll get discriminated and people tend to look u down when they know who u r!!!
so some advices r deeply appreciated, thanks ya!!!
December 26, 2010 at 8:30 AM
Hi there and thanks for writing. I have debated about how to respond to your comment for some time now. It’s tricky because there are some countries where revealing your true self can be life-threatening. In some small way, I can relate to that feeling. I grew up on a farm in a remote area of Utah. In the nearby town where I went to school, being gay was not okay, acceptable or spoken of. I truly felt that if I dared reveal who I knew myself to be, I might be run out of town, like some bad guy in a western movie. I was teased relentlessly regardless, but at least I was physically safe, for the most part.
Because I didn’t feel safe to reveal who I was, I found ways to express my true self in private. I escaped to other worlds in novels, I made up all kinds of fantasy places in my head, I ran through the forest with a blanket tied around my neck and pretended to fly away from the darkness around me and I escaped to these places whenever the real world around me just wasn’t enough to satisfy me or support me. These methods were safe for me. No one could hurt me in these places. While I fully support being your true self and expressing who you really are, no matter what others with closed minds/hearts think or feel, this isn’t always an option when your safety is at risk. In either case, I feel the lyrics below, by my idol, Mariah Carey, express how I feel about being true to yourself no matter what. What it comes down to for me is knowing who the real you is and being that person no matter what anyone else thinks or feels. You can do this internally if it’s not safe to do so externally, as I did for the first eighteen years of my life. No matter what threats exist around you, no one can take away the world that exists within your own mind unless you let them. I wish you strength, courage and depth of character. May your journey lead you to a place of peace, no matter what darkness surrounds you on the way.
Can’t Take That Away
They can say,
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
How to make me feel that I,
Don’t matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or loose faith in my dreams
‘Cause there’s,
There’s a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can’t take that away from me
From me
Oh they,
They can do
Anything they want to you,
If you let them in,
But they won’t ever win,
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I,
I have learned,
There’s an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won’t be afraid and the darkness will fade
‘Cause there’s,
There’s light in me,
That shines brightly, yes
They can try,
But they can’t take that away from me
They can’t take this
Precious love I’ll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go
They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won’t face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Although they do try,
How to make me feel that I,
Don’t matter at all,
But I refuse to fall,
Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams,
‘Cause there’s a light in me,
That shines brightly yes
They can try but they can’t take that away from
Me

January 27, 2011 at 7:03 AM
Thank you! I appreciate a fellow lamb who is also a fan!
February 24, 2011 at 8:46 AM
just saw your scene with Tristan Jaxx for Michael Lucas–extraordinarily revealing. Are you still married and have that big time job? You are quite an interesting person–hope you hang around a while. Good luck!
January 29, 2011 at 6:12 PM
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Michael is a relentless interviewer. Luckily, I’m a fairly open book and his questions didn’t really bother me. Yes, I am still married (three years in August) and have that “big time job.” I plan to hang around as long as people enjoy watching!
February 24, 2011 at 8:44 AM
Bravo! Best of luck!
March 4, 2011 at 6:44 PM
Hey Cavin,
I just became a fan of yours and have thought about joining the industry myself in the recent weeks. Do you have a workout video, blog, website that you can share tips? If not, I’m still a fan, you’re my screen saver
March 23, 2011 at 5:27 PM
Hi Dusty, thanks for your comment. I’m happy to have you as a fan! I answered your question about advice regarding joining the industry in an interview recently. You can view it at http://syrenvaughnxxx.com/Interview_Links.php. I also did a blog post about my personal diet/workout/supp routine and you’ll find it at http://cavinknight.com/2010/11/23/my-workoutdietsupp-routine/
Hope that helps and feel free to ask if you have any more specific questions. Good luck!
March 24, 2011 at 12:46 PM
How can I get an autographed photo of you for my collection???? I’m a Huge Fan…
April 27, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Hey Bill, thanks for writing. No studio has produced actor images of me that I know of yet. I imagine they will in the future if they ask me to promote at an event and I’ll be sure to keep you in mind. I’d be happy to send an autographed copy to you. Thanks for your support, I appreciate it!
April 27, 2011 at 11:48 AM
Hey, just met you on fb, you are one hot fucker! have a great day!!! Denny
May 21, 2011 at 8:58 AM
Cavin, I’m a Utah boy, too, and a gay porn addict to boot. I Googled you because I recently came into possession of your Lucas Entertainment video with Adam Killian, and I can’t stop watching it! Both you guys are fucking hot as hell in that scene!! If the chemistry between you two was pure acting and not at all real you deserve Academy Awards for your performances!!! As it is, I can’t imagine what I see onscreen in that scene to be anything other than real, unadulterated electrified passion between two powerhouse fuckers who really, *really*, REALLY wanted to fuck each other’s brains out they were so into each other. Kudos!!! (My dick’s twitching again, dammit!!!)
May 30, 2011 at 9:41 PM
Hi there and thanks for the comment! You clearly enjoyed that scene a lot and I really appreciate the feedback. It’s always nice to hear what people think about my work. Yes, Adam and I definitely had chemistry. We shot another scene together (a 3-way) for Titan last month so watch for that one! Thanks again!
June 2, 2011 at 5:36 AM
I am an OLD guy and you have heard this a thousand times but you have a perfect proportional body which I know takes hours a day of hard work, diet, sleep. How wonderful it must be to sleep with you and enjoy all that beauty cause Honey I’m here to tell you it is fleeting so enjoy enjoy enjoy while you can. Thanks for sharing your youth and beauty. I wish you happiness and most of all good common sense. XOXO Roy
August 2, 2011 at 1:36 PM
Hi Roy. Thank you for your very kind compliments and for your comment. I certainly don’t take anything I have for granted and yes, I have worked hard for it. Perspective is always nice so thanks for that. I’m glad you enjoy following me and my life. I’ll try to stay appealing/interesting always.
August 2, 2011 at 1:47 PM
good site nice layout
August 5, 2011 at 3:04 AM
you are by far one of the most amazing people I have had the pleasure to stumble accross in my life. You are truly inspiration for all gay people out there that shows that its OK to be different and its OK to be who you are, even if others dont or wont understand. love your movies your doing and its a pleasure to watch a new scene of you either plowing or getting plowed. Always such intense emotion on your face and it seems like you are trully enjoying what you doing. BIG-up for everything and keep it up….cause we’ll always be watching. ps-just a quick question, how do you get your dick to stay rock hard for the whole duration of a shoot? Are you ever planning on maybe taking a trip to South Africa one day? would love to show you what my beautifull country has to offer……keep well and love your work…..your #1 FAN!!!!!
November 17, 2011 at 3:16 AM
Thank you for your very kind message and all the very flattering compliments. It’s always nice to hear from someone so enthusiastic. I do enjoy my work in porn so I’m very glad you feel it shows up in my scenes.
To keep my dick rock hard during a shoot I generally use a Chinese herb called Silver Sword along with a collection I’ve created of my favorite porn (yes, I’m a fan of it myself). Besides that, I try to always connect with my scene partner and play off our attraction for each other to keep the scene looking heated and intense.
I don’t currently have plans to visit South Africa but I’d certainly like to someday. Thanks again for writing and hope you continue to enjoy the ride!
December 8, 2011 at 9:49 PM
you are most welcome and everything that was said is 100% true. I will be following your career for some time to come as I believe you will be and stay one of the most loved entertainers in the industry. Best of Luck and keep on being the cool person that you are.
December 8, 2011 at 11:47 PM
Do you do escort?
January 20, 2012 at 1:21 AM
No, I’m sorry, I do not.
February 16, 2012 at 10:55 AM
A few months ago I found your photos, since then I think I’ve become a fan of yours. I do not usually express these feelings but your photos show that you have a great pride in who you are and that you enjoy what you do. That’s what I think.
I wish you to continue with success and above all have faith in you always.
I understand that you have a partner, Tristan Jaxx, if I were in the same country; I would try to attract your attention. I have no illusions as I know that I can not compete with him. But I can keep dreaming.
I wish you both the best and with this invitation that I send to you, I hope that you can be inspire every sunrise that you have.
The Invitation
By Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it’s not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
February 22, 2012 at 8:37 AM
