Performer Dale DaBone told XBIZ he has become the official spokesmodel for Hot Rawks, a sexual enhancement pill created by Raw-Nation that is certified organic and made from all natural ingredients.
DaBone, who turned 39 on Jan. 8 and enjoyed a banner comeback year in adult in 2010, said he began working with the Greensboro, N.C.-based Raw-Nation as its celebrity endorser for Hot Rawks last summer.
“I started trying it out, and it gives you a huge popshot and makes you really horny,” DaBone said. “Of all the things I’ve tried this stuff is by far the best.”
DaBone, who returned to performing an extended hiatus in which he traveled the world as a tennis coach and did motorcycle stunt riding among other endeavors, is now a finalist in three major categories for the 2011 XBIZ Awards on Feb. 9. He earned nominations for Male Performer of the Year, Comeback Performer of the Year and Acting Performance of the Year for his starring role in “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody” for Axel Braun and Vivid Entertainment.
DaBone says when he knows he has a sex scene he’ll take two Hot Rawks in the morning.
“There is no hangover, no after-effects. It doesn’t make you red-faced. It’s good for your body. It gives me energy. It’s just good stuff,” he said, adding that he has been asked by other companies to endorse their products throughout his career but other pills simply “didn’t work.”
Hot Rawks are “vegan, gluten-free, and specifically designed to enhance libido, energy, and stamina without the use of harsh stimulants, toxic chemicals, or pesticides,” according to the Raw-Nation website.
“This is something I use,” DaBone continued. “Even women can use it. It gets them horny. Everybody that I let use it says their popshot has like doubled.”
For the skeptics out there, DaBone said “the proof is in the pudding.”
“I’ve been in the business for 12 years,” he said. “I endorse this because the shit works. It just gives me that edge. Let’s face it, everybody wants to fuck like a porn star or wants to rock their wife’s or their girlfriend’s world.”
DaBone next can be seen in the title role of Elvis in Axel Braun’s new Vivid parody that is available now. In the movie, he actually sings and dances.
“I sounded just like him,” DaBone said. “Axel told me, ‘I thought you nailed it. You became Elvis Presley.’ This is something I’m more proud of than any role that I’ve ever played. It’s going to give Batman a run.”

You should take those down or put them in boxes.”
