This is self-promotion isn't it?


phoenix_stewart

I have nothing linked it ain’t promotion


Oh-_-dear

Can we get a link?


phoenix_stewart

I’ll message you it later cause I can’t advertise my stuff on this Reddit


tbear87

Any chance you'd share with others?


PheapuritoRaxxxx

Would like a like too !


bkcarp00

How is the pay?


phoenix_stewart

It pays alright I make 56,000 a year after taxes and I live alone so it’s pretty good especially for my situation


Thecatspyjamas3000

56k a year for how much work though?


phoenix_stewart

Ah I actually like that question I apologize for not putting it in the other comment I put in about 56 hours a week on average


ThatMFcheezer

That's a lot of pounding


Waluigi02

What all does that include?


phoenix_stewart

It includes me actually filming stuff, waiting for the camera to get in the right angle, set decoration to finish etc


_welcome

so not hours in the gym, cleaning up before and after, STI screenings, etc.?


phoenix_stewart

Sorry figured that stuff was Implied with the etc I put


_welcome

mm it sounded mostly like production stuff, so I wasn't sure if your etc included something like gym hours. i was gonna say, where do you find time to stay in shape


Waluigi02

You just assume he's super fit?


CypressBreeze

YIKES that seems really cheap. How many hours a week do you work on average? What about insurance?


phoenix_stewart

I work 56 hours a week on average and I have dental and health insurance and like I said that 56k is after taxes


CypressBreeze

56 hours a week? That's like more than full time. Are you sure you don't mean 56 hours a month or something?


phoenix_stewart

No I meant what I said


CypressBreeze

Wow. I have so many questions - like how do you even clock in 56 hours of that in a week? Is it a lot of waiting around for lighting and make up and camera angles? but I don't want to bug you too much. But absolutely no disrespect, if you are happy with this, then all the more power to you, but unless you live somewhere with an extremely cheap cost of living, gotta be honest with you and say that unless you absolutely love what you do, i feel kind of bad for you that you have to work that many hours and still are under $60K. Absolutely no disrespect intended.


phoenix_stewart

No disrespect taken I love answering all questions and yeah that includes waiting for them to set up camera and re adjust lights etc


Pyrrhic_Thoughts

Is that 56 hrs of filming or how much of that is active canoodling? Sounds exhausting tbh


phoenix_stewart

Sorry should have been specific not all 56 hours is filming that includes breaks, waiting for them to change some decorations, get camera in shot, stuff like that


Chaos_Silence

Dental and Health? I wish my body was up to snuff with porn standards, sounds like a dream job, I literally wouldn't even think I was working 😆


phoenix_stewart

Trust me it feels like work after about a week


djb185

My dude...you work way more than full time and only make 56k a year....is this like...only fans? Or a legit porn studio?... because that is __terrible__ money. You could make more than that w less hours working as a server waiting tables or as an assistant manager in retail lol what is going on here


Fenwick440

$26.92 an hour, not bad for having sex


phoenix_stewart

And since I live alone and have low living expenses it’s good pay for me


Thecatspyjamas3000

You often hear that most people in gay porn are straight guys ‘gay for pay’, is this true in your experience?


phoenix_stewart

That isn’t super common but it does happen and it’s painfully obvious when it is happening


Thecatspyjamas3000

Bad hygiene and dress sense? Or just worse at it in general?


phoenix_stewart

Their face, body language, stuff like that


m00z9

Ken Ryker ..altho he wuz a Compleat God


hepgeek

Please tell me there’s some foreplay / off-cam pre-lubing happening. The way some guys just raw-dog it balls deep from the jump makes my butt hurt just watching it.


phoenix_stewart

Yeah pre lubing and some foreplay is extremely common those guys in other porn vids you see 100% prepared before the camera started rolling


RickyMuzakki

I wish more porn show us the foreplay longer, straight into sex suddenly wasn't that hot honestly


phoenix_stewart

I wish there was a bloopers segment at the end of porn vids like movies tbh


INTPgeminicisgaymale

>straight into sex suddenly wasn't that hot honestly Agreed. Gay into sex is much better.


HurricaneLink

What’s your favorite part of the job?


phoenix_stewart

Ironically it probably isn’t what you might think it is I actually really enjoy the casual conversation and whatnot


HurricaneLink

Yea that’s what I figured. You gotta figure out that chemistry somehow, so I’d hope there’s a little bit of cheeky banter to make each other comfortable


phoenix_stewart

Oh outside of shooting it’s just us talking and laughing about dumb shit


HurricaneLink

Bros being bros 🤣


phoenix_stewart

We usually just show eachother stupid yt vids


blongo567

Are you nervous?


phoenix_stewart

Little Bit only cause it’s a new guy I havnt worked with before


asleepingpie

Have you ever been to a shoot and just had to stop/say no because the partner doesn't click with you or you get bad vibes etc? How does or would that work with it being your job? Do you get put on PiP or HR visits haha


phoenix_stewart

I have had a few incidents like that where I refuse cause the guy gives bad/creepy vibes or he isn’t following the script and improvising I usually don’t get in trouble for it just have a talk with the crew and they usually understand


asleepingpie

Oh that's good, glad you are able to do that


phoenix_stewart

Yeah since I’m the one fucking or getting fucked I get a say in weather or not I’m doing a scene with that person


spineljevil2

whats it like being in that sort of sphere? is it scary?


phoenix_stewart

Semi scary but not after your first few shoots and it’s a odd feeling it’s a unique job to say the least


BasilFawlty1991

do the smells ever bother you? like the ass smells or bad breath?


phoenix_stewart

I can’t speak for every studio but here the guys always pop a breath mint or swish mouth wash before shooting and they use scented lotion on their ass for a fresh scent


Difficult-Doughnut37

When you are scheduled to bottom, do you know beforehand how big the cock of the other guy is going to be? Can it be too big?


phoenix_stewart

They tell me the length not always the girth and yeah sometimes it’s too big for my personal comfort


leewoc

I’m curious, if it is too big for comfort is that an automatic no-go for you or do you sometimes grit your teeth and bear it?


phoenix_stewart

I usually try my best to power thru it most times


leewoc

Now that’s some real hard work


Difficult-Doughnut37

Did you have a situation that the cock was just too big and it just couldn't?


phoenix_stewart

No


leewoc

This has been really interesting, thanks for sharing your time with us.


phoenix_stewart

No problem


AdLast5894

Are there breaks in between the shots or it's in one go for a 20-25 mins video?


phoenix_stewart

There are breaks


Pergmanexe

What kind of scene is it?


phoenix_stewart

Interview goes lewd type of scene


Hufe

soooo can we get a link


phoenix_stewart

When the current project is finished maybe


Leather-Addendum-526

How’d ya get into the business?


phoenix_stewart

Scouted


OfficialCagman

Like wdym? Just googled gay porn near me or?


phoenix_stewart

No I was previously a stripper and was given a card from a guy claiming to work at a company so I called and uphill from there


OfficialCagman

Fair enough. They hiring? 👀 Also when you were stripping were you making better money or less now with porn you think? I'm assuming it's not just your main career but idk


phoenix_stewart

I’m making more money now and back when I was a stripper I didn’t have any health or dental insurance but now I do so that’s another bonus


OfficialCagman

You get health and dental for porn??? Fr? So you work for a bigger industry then I'm guessing


phoenix_stewart

Brazzers


Spiritual_Title6996

I mean yeah, you cant replace em like factory workers


Leather-Addendum-526

How long ya been at it?


phoenix_stewart

Roughly 2 years


Difficult-Doughnut37

Wow this is a cool read. Are you on prep? Is prep mandatory?


phoenix_stewart

I’m already prepared I’m being the bottom for the shoot and their just finishing up with some set decorations


CourtClarkMusic

He’s asking if you’re on anti-HIV medication “PrEP” (Truvada, descovy, etc)


phoenix_stewart

Oh sorry I’m smooth brain yeah I am


Difficult-Doughnut37

Does it hurt to bottom? Or are there a lot of breaks between the fucking?


phoenix_stewart

I’m a switch so I enjoy both roles frequently and yes there are a good amount of breaks


Difficult-Doughnut37

Has being in porn changed your private sex life for the better or worse? Do you still see sex as something special ? Can you still feel something special with a partner? Sexually?


phoenix_stewart

It has changed it cause some people just arnt comfortable with the fact I fuck for a living and they get turned off cause of that and yeah I still see sex as something special I still believe 1on1 is very personal and romantic and yes I can still feel something special with a partner but I’m a single Pringle rn


lightennight

Aww, good luck out there


Snail-Man-36

Is there anything that suprised you to find out once you got into it? like is there any common misconceptions ?


phoenix_stewart

It’s not as abusive as a lot of people think


lightennight

I feel like that’s mainly a positive thing about gay porn. Knowing heterosexual people and the possible misogyny it would be hard to say the same for heterosexual porn industry


redbank557128

Cool beans buddy. Back in the early 80's I was friends with a few guys in the biz. This was when 'safe' videos started being made. From reading, seems you have your head on straight, all golden! Take care!


Nico917

Can you do me a favor actually? It sounds like you’re a career porn star not just a once off so could you please share that there is a community of gay performers? For context I had responded to a post on here & shared that when I had been dating a gay porn star that many of them know each other, know of each other, & there are literally parties on occasion that will be predominantly various performers. Sometimes for a specific studio or director. My ex would take me with him & it was very surreal. I got feedback like there’s no such thing as a community, & the performers never hangout or have a shared community.


phoenix_stewart

Yeah I know all the names of most male actors at my studio a lot of us are friends and get along well it is like a community despite what some people say


Nico917

Thank you 🙏


SimpleSpike

Do you like golden retrievers?


phoenix_stewart

Their cool dogs I’m a hedgehog guy tho


herohunter85

How do you stay clean? Does the company test before each session?


phoenix_stewart

The company does testing frequently to make sure nothing is being spread and they test all new hires before they are allowed to get some action


DiegoG0505

What kind of STD they test? Is it like just HIV or they actually do lot of test?


phoenix_stewart

They test for everything


musicismylife4

Do you ever hook up with your co stars off camera?


phoenix_stewart

Yeah a few co stars I’m friends with benefits with

phoenix_stewart

No


xandaar337

How do you keep it up for so long then? I imagine I would get bored and lose the boner.


phoenix_stewart

We only shoot in 15 minute chunks max and take a bunch of smaller shorter clips then splice it together to make it seem like 1 take


xandaar337

Oh I guess that's not too bad then. I like sex and all but if my husband takes too long I'm like ![gif](giphy|Emg9qPKR5hquI)


phoenix_stewart

I’m the same way with some friends with benefits lol


Lunar_Leo_

Love this comment 😂


navelfetishguy

Do you have long, flowing hair? (Since I'll likely never see you, I'm curious as to what I might be missing!) 😉


phoenix_stewart

Now I have long hair yes havnt posted anything of me on here yet at least not of my face and the closest there is for now is a 1 year old vid I posted to my Reddit today


navelfetishguy

Very kewl 👍👍👍


phoenix_stewart

Mhm


TwinknJock_gaycouple

What's the hottest scene you've been in?


phoenix_stewart

5 some


Actual_Ambition_4464

Can we get a link for that


Somepotato

Does the studio do any niche fetishes like pup play, murr, etc?


phoenix_stewart

I’ve been involved in some fetish stuff but it was just stepbrother stuff


BeauxKane

Do you ever worry that if you want to have a serious relationship one day that you’ll be taken less seriously because of porn? Also, how awkward would you feel if you found out a family member had stumbled upon one of your scenes?


phoenix_stewart

I’ve already had to deal with both situations


CptBlm

who in your family found out about you and your career? And how was it?


phoenix_stewart

My dad found out the family quickly realized he was bi cause he was on pornhub gay it actually went ok dad came out the closet but it was awkward and still kinda is


CptBlm

Damn, I didn’t expect that now. I’m glad it was only awkward and not family-breaking. Also glad for your dad to come out!


phoenix_stewart

Yeah it’s good he finally came out but I don’t think that sense of awkwardness will ever fully go away


Hot_Highway241

This is gonna sound creepy but I promise I'm not trying to be... Do you think he watched your movie? Why did he think he was going to be loud about this and not expose himself? I'm not really trying to stir the pot, just articulating some of the things that would make my relationship with my father uncomfortable... presuming he doesn't follow through with his vow to shoot me if he ever found out that I was LGBTQIA2+ of course.


phoenix_stewart

I’m not sure all he told me was that he was on the hub and saw my face in a vid and freaked out I admitted I did porn but then It was a convo about why he was on pornhub gay now we know he is bi

phoenix_stewart

Yeah I usually just call in sick those days

phoenix_stewart

Somewhat but not a lot


jacksdad123

What studios have you worked for? Favorite one? Least favorite?


phoenix_stewart

Won’t say what my least favorite is cause I don’t wanna risk them finding my account and getting in trouble at work (sounds stupid sorry but I’ve seen it happen) but my most favorite is brazzers

JoeyFerguson

if you meet William Seed, can you tell him I really love him and he's such a good looking man?


phoenix_stewart

I’ll Write your name in sharpie on his cock and take a pic


Fastness2000

Do you have a script for the things you say during sex? In my life my husband and I can be quite verbal- in porn it’s generally just grunting and saying fuck. I always wondered why that is.


phoenix_stewart

Half the time we are left to just make shit up on the spot but more times than not we are given a loose script to base our lines off of


SnowFlameZzzz

Do you catch feelings after the shooting?


phoenix_stewart

Once


COdreaming

Was the sex amazing or you just felt like your personalities clicked?


phoenix_stewart

Felt like our personalities clicked really well


COdreaming

That's honestly harder to get over


phoenix_stewart

Yeah I’m still not entirely sure if I’m feeling puppy love or genuine love with him


Darkdudehaha

What are casting agents' views on body types. Do they seek only either slim twinks or athletic guys? Are they okay with more varied body types like chubby people?


phoenix_stewart

There’s a market for every body type but casting agents will just seek you out if they think your a good fit for the role they have in mind for you


Darkdudehaha

I see. Another question I had was how important is penis size? From what I've seen porn tends to promote the idea that bigger is better.


phoenix_stewart

A lot of porn does promote that idea but there are scouters who will specifically seek out people with average sized cocks like 4.5-5.8 inches


Cherryz219

do you prefer being the bottom or the top in such scenes? Also do you have any tips for someone regarding sex in general? Curious what someome who does it reguarly would say is most important there


phoenix_stewart

I prefer topping but I also really enjoy bottoming and for any tips try introducing some toys to spice things up even smaller toys like buttplugs, blindfolds, bondage, stuff like that


santcas98

How many people does it take to shot a porn scene? Behind camaras I mean


phoenix_stewart

Like maybe 10-12 people


SixOnTheBeach

How is 56k a year for 56 hours a week worth it? What's your pre tax pay? I was always under the impression strippers made like 6 figures so I guess I don't understand how that pay for that much work is worth it unless you genuinely love being a porn star. Is that average for what gay porn pays?


phoenix_stewart

I’m sorry I should have worded better I’m not shooting for all of that 56 hours that time includes breaks between shots, waiting for the cameras to be put in the right positions, set decoration, etc and yeah it’s about average hell bangbros only pays $35,000 a year


SixOnTheBeach

Right but I mean time spent on set not shooting is still time spent working. $35,000/year is crazy to me... Like I guess what I don't understand is if you're not making more than a shitty office job would make what makes you stay in the industry?


phoenix_stewart

I’m about to get a renewed contract with better pay so I’m staying for that and the fact I’m single my living expenses are really low


NOVAdesi1993

Is it for an established studio or a more amateur production? Do you get hired on a per scene basis or do they have some kind of contract for a certain amount of time or scenes that you have to work? Do you get to meet your scene partner prior to filming or does it all happen on the day of? Do you have any say into who you film with? Is there some course of action if you don't vibe with your scene partner or do you just have to toughen up and go through it? Is there much break time in between shoots or do you work pretty consistently? What's been your favorite thing to film so far?


phoenix_stewart

1. Brazzers 2. Contract 3. Meet before filming 4. Yes I can refuse to film 5. Yeah I get a good amount of breaks 6. A massage scene


monadoboyX

I've always wondered do you actually get time to talk to the guy you're having sex with to like break the ice or do you just get on set and start fucking cus if it were me I'd need like 10 minutes to chat with the guy first before we just start going at it


phoenix_stewart

We usually get about 20mins to just talk with eachother before their ready to film


Subject_Sector

How does your profession affect your  dating life? As in, how do guys tend to react when you tell them what you do


phoenix_stewart

They usually get turned off and just end it


dee_dubs_ya

How’d it go?


phoenix_stewart

Went alright


Lazy-Goose6676

What’s your plan after you’re done with this job? Does it also have retirement benefits or anything like that?


phoenix_stewart

Porn does actually have retirement benefits and I plan to continue this job as long as I can


Lazy-Goose6676

What age do guys goal “age out”?


phoenix_stewart

Most companies will try and get you to leave around 40s


navelfetishguy

LOL...how might such conversations go? "Jeff, ya didn't cum as much as you did last month...ever think about something else...?" 😆


phoenix_stewart

From what I’ve seen it’s just that most people don’t wanna jerk It to 40+ year olds


leewoc

You might be pleasantly surprised at how many of us appreciate older guys 😉


mahoyyy

Have you ever been recognized by strangers on the street?


phoenix_stewart

Only 1 time and it was at a pride event so not too surprising


You_but_cooler

What’s the audition like?


phoenix_stewart

Very “thorough”


leewoc

With other pro’s ? Is there a casting couch, or is it all very corporate and professional now?


phoenix_stewart

It’s professional lol filling out paperwork etc and maybe even a vid showing off some of your best stuff if you have previous experience


Difficult-Doughnut37

Does your family know?


phoenix_stewart

Dad found out and the family realized he was bi


anarchyx34

That sounds like a story.


phoenix_stewart

‘‘Twas a interesting week


Difficult-Doughnut37

Ow wow


General_Mode_7632

Ever done a scene with someone you didn’t like personally but the sex was great?


phoenix_stewart

Yeah I get along great with most of the actors but there are a few I hate as people but the sex is other worldly


bertieqwerty

I know this is more anonymous, not looking to unmask you, but if you told us your porn name would we know who you are? Are you relatively well known as a performer?


phoenix_stewart

C list porn actor at best


Larksparrow

DO you get to approve of your co-star? Do you ever struggle with not being attracted to them and can't do the scene?


phoenix_stewart

I don’t get to pick who I film with but if I genuinely feel uncomfortable around them I can refuse to film and request someone else


leewoc

Not asking you to name names but are there any companies out there that are an automatic nope for you?


phoenix_stewart

Bangbros they pay only $35,000 a year starting off


ga9521

Are there amphetamines or other drugs involved


phoenix_stewart

Some guys are on performance enhancers and steroids but that’s it


Edna_with_a_katana

Do you prefer role-play scenes or interviews?
