Kenneth Connin is living proof that dreams really can come true.

The 27-year-old became a quadriplegic nine years ago after suffering a traumatic spinal cord injury during a competitive cheerleading event.

“Just because I’m injured and I have certain limitations, [it] doesn’t mean that I don’t still enjoy pleasure and I don’t still enjoy touch,” he tells Davey Wavey in a new interview.

Hi Friends. I wanted to share a project that I have been apart of and am very proud of. You may have seen my quick IG story yesterday and some may be “shocked”. I have worked with a company called himeros.tv (adult content) to help get a conversation going around sex and disability. Yes, it is a very sexual video but it is also so much more. There is such a stigma around sex and disability that has been prevalent for decades. I found it very empowering to be seen as just a sexual being and not confined to someone else’s thought of my sex life. I hope that it brings other people an open mind, that just because someone isn’t just like you they most likely desire similar things. If this makes you uncomfortable, feel free to not follow me. I’m very proud of the message that is intertwined in the scene. (Don’t worry close friends, I won’t start posting all my “bits”, I still respect everyone’s comfort level ?) • • • ?: @jamesniklaus (Thank you for always taking random Instagram pictures, I really appreciate it) • @officialdaveywavey Thanks again for the opportunity • • • • #Himeros #gay #gayboy #disabled #bodypositive #breakthestigma #spinalcordinjury #portland #portlandoregon #pnw #positive

Connin, who lives in Portland, has long dreamed of doing gay porn. Now, that dream has finally been realized. He just filmed his first x-rated scene with veteran adult film star Pierce Paris for Davey Wavey’s adult film studio Himeros.

“Outside of my wheelchair, I’m just like everybody else,” Connin says.

The 16-minute scene, titled “Facef*ck Me”, premiered on the platform this week. It’s official description reads:

This is a video about two men with a hot, intimate connection. Kenneth enjoys when guys kiss, touch and tease his neck, face and ears. But what he really loves is a deep, hard, aggressive facef*cking. And today, that’s exactly what he’ll get. This video features Kenneth Connin and Pierce Paris. It was created with consultation by Andrew Gurza.

Connin says he couldn’t be happier with how the scene turned out.

“It was totally what I wanted,” he gushes. “What I expected was to feel a little more awkward and a little more out of place but everyone here has done a great job at making sure I feel just like anyone else.”

Asked why he didn’t use a pseudonym like so many other adult film performers, Connin replied: “I’m proud of what I’m doing and who I am and I think everyone else should be too.”

We can’t argue with that!

He adds, “I hope that people understand from watching my scene [that] it’s OK to have sex whether you’re disabled or whether you’re not disabled. I want able-bodied people to know that just because someone has a disability, that doesn’t mean they no longer have a sex life.”
