Jeff Palmer (born as David Zuloaga, March 27, 1975)[1] is a gay actor who has appeared in pornographic films and magazines. Palmer is also a singer-songwriter with a great number of songs released.[2]
Beginnings
David Zuloaga was born in Los Angeles, California, but raised in Mendoza, Argentina by his evangelical parents from the age of two. At the age of 14, he saw his first pornographic film starring Peter North which sparked his ambition to become a porn star.[3] Palmer left home at sixteen for Brazil, then a year later to Europe where he had his first gay sexual experience with a friend. During this period he worked in Amsterdam as a male prostitute at the Blue Boy club.
Adult film career
At the age of 19 Palmer moved to Miami, and a year later debuted in his seminal pornographic film for Falcon Studios under the direction of award winning producer/director John Rutherford.[4] Palmer performed exclusively for Falcon Studios before leaving in 1999. In 2001 Palmer made a porn comeback in the Pacific Sun Entertainment production Palmer's Lust.
Palmer moved back to Mendoza, Argentina in October 2009 after years in Portland, Oregon, hosting occasional solo webcam shows for his fans on his website,[4] which was closed in early 2016. However, according to the site at the time, Palmer returned to live in Los Angeles in September 2010.
Views
Palmer is opposed to pharmaceuticals as the best way to fight HIV infection, instead promoting the therapeutic use of cannabis.[5] He wrote personal messages and displayed them prominently on his website home page about this matter and his strong positions about it.
After being diagnosed with HIV in 1997, Palmer used antiretroviral drugs over a period of four years.[6][7] Withdrawing from the program after complaining of being used as "guinea pig", Palmer started making controversial statements about HIV and its supporting industry. He says that he started investigating AIDS denialist sites on the internet and became convinced that HIV and AIDS are fraudulent conspiracy theories.[4][8] The following year Palmer would sign with Hot Desert Knights to star in his first condomless, or "bareback" film. It featured Palmer's first anally receptive or "bottom" sex scene.[4][8] Despite his previous HIV diagnosis, Palmer allowed fans to perform oral sex on him during his club appearances and still advocates "bareback" sex.[3][8] Palmer had also admitted in 2004 to a crystal meth addiction which he deals with.[9]
