Charles Farley: Tell us what inspired your stage name.
Damon Veins: My name is inspired by the TV series, Vampire Diaries; to be more precise, by the character Salvatore Damon, who I like very much to this day. I like his way of being and his blue eyes. Also, Damon is derived from Damian, which is a name very close to my heart.

CF: Where did you grow up?
DV: I am from a small city in Romania, but I’ve been living in Bucharest, the capital, for the last few years. I moved here because of my studies so now I consider myself a true city boy.

CF: What drew you to cam modeling?
I’ve heard about cam modeling from many people and it made me curious to see what it was about. I’m curious by nature, and even though there’s this saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’, it didn’t apply in my case. It is a fun experience, from which I really learned a lot. So, it’s a mixture of events and things that drew me to start this career.

CF: For someone fairly new to camming, you seem extremely comfortable on camera. How do you prepare for your performances?
DV: (Laughs) You have no idea how shy I can be. Yes, I’m shy despite being so curious, and I knew it was something that I had to get over to feel comfortable on camera. I dedicated myself and also, I had a great team of teachers that helped with this issue right from the beginning. So, you see it was a mixture of my ambition and the training that I received.

CF: You have an amazing body. Tells us about your workout regimen.
DV: I am very passionate about the gym, working out almost every day. That’s it! Maybe you can say I’m lucky because I was born with an athletic constitution.

CF: What are you most passionate about?
DV: Gym and tennis! These are my two passions for now. Who knows what I will prefer in the future.

CF: What are your favorite songs to perform to?
DV: Depends on my mood and on the performance. I usually add a song to the playlist when I hear something that inspires me, something that has a certain vibe. For example, I like Magic Mike “Ride my pony” when I do a striptease show. Now I’m listening to Maluma – “Marinero” over and over again. It’s a sad song, but it relaxes me very much. I usually prefer Latino music because I like to dance, and it has a summer vibe that it is really comforting. I listen to other genres like R&B or pop, from The Weeknd I like “Call out my name” and “Starboy.” Another favorite is “Rockstar” by Post Malone.

CF: What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
DV: I really like to spend time with my friends and my family because I see them rarely. Between the studio and my studies, my free time is really limited.

CF: How do you relax when you’re not performing?
DV: Lately I’ve been watching TV shows like The 100 and Blindspot. The gym is an important place where I relax. It clears my mind and helps me keep focus. Also, I relax by grabbing a coffee with my friends every now & then.

CF: You seem to do a lot of bondage shows. What do you like about them? How do bondage shows differ from a more straight-forward performance?
DV: Well, I learned to do bondage shows from a member of mine. He was the one who taught me, and I thank him for this. At the beginning, I couldn’t see myself being this kind of performer, but I started talking to this member and he was the one who explained and gave me confidence to try. In a bondage show you need to be submissive and I’m usually the reverse in a straight-forward performance. This is the interesting part and it also very fun, if you like it.

CF: What are your favorite movies or TV Shows and why?
DV: First, my favorite TV series was and is Vampire Diaries. I like very much action movies that combine a little bit of romance and comedy. I’m also fan of The Avengers and all the super hero movies like Black Panther, Thor, Justice League. I totally recommend Overboard – I laughed so much at this movie.

CF: What traits do you look for in a significant other?
DV: Well I like people with a sense of humor – I like smart people who can handle and make good jokes. This is the most important thing! Ah! And I would also like someone with a good heart.

CF: What should new visitors expect when they visit your room or take you private?
DV: They should expect a lively room with a good vibe. Basically, my room is filled with positive energy! In private, I’m the guy who likes to give and receive pleasure. I’m always trying to make a memorable moment for everybody. I am open to new experiences. Sometimes I really get carried away and create something special and naughty.

CF: Apart from spending credits or spending time with you, what makes a great customer in your eyes?
DV: As I said earlier, I really appreciate people with the sense of humor. They make the conversation fun and are easy to talk to. But I’m not picky. I like people who are open-minded. People who don’t judge or insult. These are my kind of people.

CF: What has cam modeling taught you about yourself?
DV: I’ve learned to trust myself more, be confident in how I look and how I speak. I told you I’m shy, but I’ve come a long way since my first days on cam. Also, I’ve improved my English skills, and this makes me so proud of myself.

CF: Any funny or strange on-camera experiences? Tell us about them.
DV: I always have funny moments with my members on camera – I joke constantly with them, and they with me. I can say I’m lucky not to have had something out of the ordinary. This makes me look forward to being on camera. But these jokes, or funny moments, are just for me and the members. They are personal.

CF: For aspiring cam models, complete this sentence: If I knew then what I know now, I would …
DV: … use my voice more on camera!
