Colt and Hot House model speaks out against internet
By Y J.J. Sanchez
Once you get past the 6’2” exterior and 247 pounds of bulging muscle, Bo Dixon is just a normal guy. From volunteering at a local botanical garden to reading the latest political news, his hobbies illustrate that he’s much more than “a dumb southern bodybuilder”.
As an NPC (National Physique Committee) competitor, Dixon is one grade down from getting paid professionally and works a day job in marketing/IT management to pay the bills.
When he isn’t busy with his pectorals or hydrangeas, the muscleman manages to squeeze in some time for his family – an adoring partner, whom he hopes to eventually marry, and a wonderful dog.
On top of all that, the thick-bearded, hirsute powerhouse has also become a staple of COLT Studio Group. His muscle worship video remains one of the studio’s most popular solo films.
“I liked the idea of having my hard work captured in time on film,” he confessed. “The worship videos are not considered a big deal. Many top bodybuilders have done them. Now, the porn is another story.”
The success of Dixon’s COLT solo work led to pressure from the studio and internet fans. They wanted more – hardcore sexual content. Many studios made offers, but he turned them down. He was uncomfortable filming a scene with someone he had no attraction to.
However, after an online friend assured Dixon that adult work was fun and lucrative, he agreed to film a scene in Hot House Entertainment’s Paging Dr. Finger.
He regretted this decision after meeting his current romantic partner. “The internet has made things difficult for us because explicit images of me having sex with another man have been splattered all over the web,” he divulges.
Pictures weren’t the only thing exposed on the web. Bodybuilder and porn blogs began linking Bo Dixon to his real-life counterpart, and the attention lead to some disturbing situations. Strangers have contacted Dixon and his partner at their jobs, but that’s not even the scariest length a stalker has gone to be with him.
“When I was single, one person in Virginia contacted me on the Internet and begged me to break his arms and legs for cash. It was psychotic. Two years later, the same guy contacted me through MySpace and pretended to offer me an IT job with AOL. He claimed to work in lower management,” he says.
Dixon accepted the offer to move to Virginia and stayed with the man until he could get settled. As one might suspect, the obsessed fan made sexual advances towards him and didn’t appreciate being offered a measly friendship. “He locked himself in his room blogging, calling people from my cell phone.
He stole it while I was sleeping at night. The guy admitted to being bipolar, and I was lucky to have gotten out before any physical harm occurred.” Even so, he did not emerge from the scenario unscathed. Through his blog, ValleyWag.com, the man stirred up a vicious rumor about Dixon and multi-millionaire Gurbaksh Chahal.
Though the two men share the same trainer, they have never met. The rumor suggested Dixon trained Chahal and offered him sexual favors on the side. “My images and reputation have been put in harm’s way due to a lack of internet laws targeted at copyright and slander. My stage name and real life have been compromised.
If I can’t get control over this, it is time for me to speak up and share my story,” he states. “It would be nice if studios, bars, and promoters would not use my photos without permission. I never expected all of this attention, but I have grown to love my fans and I will continue to give them the images they ask for in new calendars and magazine spreads.
The Internet is the new frontier but it shouldn’t be a place that mercilessly exposes a person’s life.”
