Following last month’s utterly shocking, salacious, scandalous and saucy exposé on the real facts and fiction behind the porn industry I had so many more whinges and whines coming from my colleagues about what’s true and what’s utter crap when it comes to some of the Chinese whispers and complete whoppers about working in it, that I had to print some of the best ones…

YOU CAN MAKE A FORTUNE BEING A PORN STAR…
Depends! Like a ripe tomato, a porn star has its sell by date – you can’t really do much past your late forties unless you go into fisting/daddy films, etc. Yes, the American studios pay more dollars and treat their stars like tacky royalty, but you’d have to be making at least one film a week to retire early. Sure, it’s a good top up to a performer’s income. They can have some good holidays and a healthy savings account if they put their earnings away. But to be honest, most guys are in porn for the sex, the fun and the fucking attention!
PORN IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE CREDIT CRUNCH…
Quite likely! In times of trouble and strife, people go out less, spend time at home, fork out on small pleasures and either escape down the bottle or spend lots of time wanking or hosting sex parties. Research – and profits – do seem to show that porn tends to thrive out of everyone else’s suffering. If you can’t afford a new luxury yacht or a new three bedroom docklands flat – get off on some Bulldog XXX movies to chase away the blues!
ALL PORN IS FAKE…
Shocking! Well, what do you mean by fake? It’s all rubber dolls and CGI by Industrial Light & Magic? For sure, it’s all produced and staged managed to some degree. But if you’ve done your casting right, the models will really fancy each other and you’ll have real hot chemistry – and sex – on set. From time to time the models meet and don’t really click – then there is a certain amount of acting required – now that’s where you can separate the men form the boys! Other cheapskate tricks we use to achieve really horny sex scenes on screen, that were actually pretty dull at the time of filming, include: repeating bonking footage in a loop so it appears they are fucking for longer than they were; reversing the footage of a cock withdrawing from an ass so it looks like a really clean, well aimed insertion shot.
PORN STARS FUCK THE EDITORS OF GAY MAGAZINES TO GET ON THE COVER…
Better ask them! I’m sure Michael at QXMEN wouldn’t say no to some of our models – so make him an offer! Anyway, so what if they do? You scratch my arse, I’ll finger yours. Simple tit-for-tat mutual arrangement I’d say. I can’t speak for all magazine editors, of course, but they do weald a lot of power on their own rag – and we know that power corrupts? Don’t we – Hitler, Sadam, Darthy?
THE PORN INDUSTRY IS EXPLOITATIVE…
Sure is! We have all our boys smuggled in from East Europe, kept in chains under my bed and used as sex slaves and spunk rags, beaten with sticks, pissed on, spat on, and flogged repeatedly abused for sexual kicks – Hmmmm, sounds like a good idea for a film there.
PORN FILM SOMETIMES FEATURE STUNT COCKS…
Passion killer! Yes, not very often, but using someone else’s dick for the extreme close ups of penetration and the spunk shots can be an option when your star cock doesn’t perform. Trick is getting the cock, and the surrounding body, to match. Clearly you couldn’t use a hairy bear to double up as a twink’s cock… Now that would just be silly – and fucking obvious.
PORN STARS ONLY GO OUT WITH OTHER PORN STARS…
Not as a rule! There are some guys who meet, fall in love, marry and go out with their co-stars with some great success stories – like Trojan Rock and Carlo Cox from Alphamalemedia.com or the delicious Daniel Marvin and Pedro Andreas (www.marvinandreas.blogspot.com) – but it’s not very common. I’ve seen some odd rules in these kinds of relationships about when and where they can fiddle/dabble for work or for pleasure, but it’s probably no different than going out with a good honest hooker! A lot of guys have boyfriends with regular jobs – French porn star, Fred Faurtin’s boyfriend is a bleeding copper!
