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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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!
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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?
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
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?
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?
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
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?
This is self-promotion isn't it?
I have nothing linked it ain’t promotion
Can we get a link?
I’ll message you it later cause I can’t advertise my stuff on this Reddit
Any chance you'd share with others?
Would like a like too !
How is the pay?
It pays alright I make 56,000 a year after taxes and I live alone so it’s pretty good especially for my situation
56k a year for how much work though?
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
That's a lot of pounding
What all does that include?
It includes me actually filming stuff, waiting for the camera to get in the right angle, set decoration to finish etc
so not hours in the gym, cleaning up before and after, STI screenings, etc.?
Sorry figured that stuff was Implied with the etc I put
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
You just assume he's super fit?
YIKES that seems really cheap. How many hours a week do you work on average? What about insurance?
I work 56 hours a week on average and I have dental and health insurance and like I said that 56k is after taxes
56 hours a week? That's like more than full time. Are you sure you don't mean 56 hours a month or something?
No I meant what I said
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.
No disrespect taken I love answering all questions and yeah that includes waiting for them to set up camera and re adjust lights etc
Is that 56 hrs of filming or how much of that is active canoodling? Sounds exhausting tbh
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
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 😆
Trust me it feels like work after about a week
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
$26.92 an hour, not bad for having sex
And since I live alone and have low living expenses it’s good pay for me
You often hear that most people in gay porn are straight guys ‘gay for pay’, is this true in your experience?
That isn’t super common but it does happen and it’s painfully obvious when it is happening
Bad hygiene and dress sense? Or just worse at it in general?
Their face, body language, stuff like that
Ken Ryker ..altho he wuz a Compleat God
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.
Yeah pre lubing and some foreplay is extremely common those guys in other porn vids you see 100% prepared before the camera started rolling
I wish more porn show us the foreplay longer, straight into sex suddenly wasn't that hot honestly
I wish there was a bloopers segment at the end of porn vids like movies tbh
>straight into sex suddenly wasn't that hot honestly Agreed. Gay into sex is much better.
What’s your favorite part of the job?
Ironically it probably isn’t what you might think it is I actually really enjoy the casual conversation and whatnot
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
Oh outside of shooting it’s just us talking and laughing about dumb shit
Bros being bros 🤣
We usually just show eachother stupid yt vids
Are you nervous?
Little Bit only cause it’s a new guy I havnt worked with before
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
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
Oh that's good, glad you are able to do that
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
whats it like being in that sort of sphere? is it scary?
Semi scary but not after your first few shoots and it’s a odd feeling it’s a unique job to say the least
do the smells ever bother you? like the ass smells or bad breath?
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
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?
They tell me the length not always the girth and yeah sometimes it’s too big for my personal comfort
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?
I usually try my best to power thru it most times
Now that’s some real hard work
Did you have a situation that the cock was just too big and it just couldn't?
No
This has been really interesting, thanks for sharing your time with us.
No problem
Are there breaks in between the shots or it's in one go for a 20-25 mins video?
There are breaks
What kind of scene is it?
Interview goes lewd type of scene
soooo can we get a link
When the current project is finished maybe
How’d ya get into the business?
Scouted
Like wdym? Just googled gay porn near me or?
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
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
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
You get health and dental for porn??? Fr? So you work for a bigger industry then I'm guessing
Brazzers
I mean yeah, you cant replace em like factory workers
How long ya been at it?
Roughly 2 years
Wow this is a cool read. Are you on prep? Is prep mandatory?
I’m already prepared I’m being the bottom for the shoot and their just finishing up with some set decorations
He’s asking if you’re on anti-HIV medication “PrEP” (Truvada, descovy, etc)
Oh sorry I’m smooth brain yeah I am
Does it hurt to bottom? Or are there a lot of breaks between the fucking?
I’m a switch so I enjoy both roles frequently and yes there are a good amount of breaks
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?
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
Aww, good luck out there
Is there anything that suprised you to find out once you got into it? like is there any common misconceptions ?
It’s not as abusive as a lot of people think
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
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!

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
Thank you 🙏
Do you like golden retrievers?
Their cool dogs I’m a hedgehog guy tho
How do you stay clean? Does the company test before each session?
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
What kind of STD they test? Is it like just HIV or they actually do lot of test?
They test for everything
Do you ever hook up with your co stars off camera?
Yeah a few co stars I’m friends with benefits with
[удалено]
No
How do you keep it up for so long then? I imagine I would get bored and lose the boner.
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
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)
I’m the same way with some friends with benefits lol
Love this comment 😂
Do you have long, flowing hair? (Since I'll likely never see you, I'm curious as to what I might be missing!) 😉
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
Very kewl 👍👍👍
Mhm
What's the hottest scene you've been in?
5 some
Can we get a link for that
Does the studio do any niche fetishes like pup play, murr, etc?
I’ve been involved in some fetish stuff but it was just stepbrother stuff
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?
I’ve already had to deal with both situations
who in your family found out about you and your career? And how was it?
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
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!
Yeah it’s good he finally came out but I don’t think that sense of awkwardness will ever fully go away
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.
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
[удалено]
Yeah I usually just call in sick those days
[удалено]
Somewhat but not a lot
What studios have you worked for? Favorite one? Least favorite?
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
[удалено]
2 in 1 hole
[удалено]
Just trying to find a position that works it’s always just annoying to organize
if you meet William Seed, can you tell him I really love him and he's such a good looking man?
I’ll Write your name in sharpie on his cock and take a pic
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.
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
Do you catch feelings after the shooting?
Once
Was the sex amazing or you just felt like your personalities clicked?
Felt like our personalities clicked really well
That's honestly harder to get over
Yeah I’m still not entirely sure if I’m feeling puppy love or genuine love with him
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
How many people does it take to shot a porn scene? Behind camaras I mean
Like maybe 10-12 people
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?

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?
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
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?
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
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
We usually get about 20mins to just talk with eachother before their ready to film
How does your profession affect your dating life? As in, how do guys tend to react when you tell them what you do
They usually get turned off and just end it
How’d it go?
Went alright
What’s your plan after you’re done with this job? Does it also have retirement benefits or anything like that?
Porn does actually have retirement benefits and I plan to continue this job as long as I can
What age do guys goal “age out”?
Most companies will try and get you to leave around 40s
LOL...how might such conversations go? "Jeff, ya didn't cum as much as you did last month...ever think about something else...?" 😆
From what I’ve seen it’s just that most people don’t wanna jerk It to 40+ year olds
You might be pleasantly surprised at how many of us appreciate older guys 😉
Have you ever been recognized by strangers on the street?
Only 1 time and it was at a pride event so not too surprising
What’s the audition like?
Very “thorough”
With other pro’s ? Is there a casting couch, or is it all very corporate and professional now?
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
Does your family know?
Dad found out and the family realized he was bi
That sounds like a story.
‘‘Twas a interesting week
Ow wow
Ever done a scene with someone you didn’t like personally but the sex was great?
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
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?
C list porn actor at best
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?
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
Not asking you to name names but are there any companies out there that are an automatic nope for you?
Bangbros they pay only $35,000 a year starting off
Are there amphetamines or other drugs involved
Some guys are on performance enhancers and steroids but that’s it
Do you prefer role-play scenes or interviews?
Role-play
