Ask the Pornographer (Mark III)

[Mobyvick]

Ok so i have a 3 questions, not sure if anyones asked them before because im new.

1)Is there anyway for a minority to get into gay porn without doing like "thug scenes?"
2) Which one do porn companies value more: a person with a big dick or a person who is passionate but has like a six inch?
3) Have you been on shoots where theres actually real passion between the performers? If so how is it?

1) I mean... I've worked with black models and never done a "thug" scene.

2) I mean... again.... it's different for every studio. To be honest... hot man with hot body is what most of us are looking for.

3) Of course. All the time..

Who would you say is the richest person involved in the gay porn industry, and which studio would you say was the largest and/or the most profitable?

How long does it take until the stuff you shoot is released? Does it go straight onto DVD or is it streamed online? Which way would you prefer people to watch your work?

Are there people trying to kick you out of your job? lol

(What I mean is - do you have to watch your back? Is there a lot of envy and jealousy and bitching in the industry, or is there a comraderie and helpfulness and spirit of co-operation amongst you all)


Thanks Jasun

No idea at all. I'll tell you that online studios are doing a lot better than DVD studios are these days.

No answer for that. There are some scenes we rush to the membership site in a week, some that we shot nearly 2 years ago that haven't been released yet.

Meh. I mean... no more than any other industry, really. There's a lot of competition for models, a lot of racing to pair people up with one another and more than a few drama bouts when things go wrong. But it all comes with any high-profile industry.

Do camp humor and hot sex ever work together well in porn?

I did a really funny scene with John Magnum called "Bottoming 101."

Have you ever thought about using established straight porn stars for SG4GE? It seems like most of them are new faces or people who have already done gay porn?

Ever thought about using an exclusive porn star who does only straight scenes? Would that work?

We do that all the time. Off the top of my head, we've had Bill Baily, Dante Brice... Alan Stafford... a few others.

No. People on SG4GE want variety.

1. How do you deal with performers who behave like divas?

It doesn't happen much and usually when I'm on set, I'm pretty good at keeping it all under control. It's rare we work with the kind of model who becomes a "diva" on set.

2. Are most performers super sensitive about their looks/skills?

Depends. Some are, some aren't and some are about one thing and not about another.

I understand, their livelyhood depends on being perfect in every way. So when he brought up having an average-size dick... I pounced on the chance to talk about it with anyone.. because I personally don't think it matters. But it's rare to find guys who are so comfortable talking about it on camera.

(I love this video clip. This is from the Dakota Rivers/Jake Steel scene where I was finally confidant enough in my own directing to take the guys into the hills on the south end of the Jake Cruise Ranch and shoot using natural light, reflected light and shadows. I still had a lot to learn but this is where I really started to challenge myself.)

Wow, that's a) impressive and b) hot.

I actually have a question about that. When filming in bright sun like that, how do you keep the performers from being burned to a crisp and bug-et, without having stuff on them that makes cocksucking or licking up cum awkward or even toxic?

It's not always easy. In that scene we did use a good deal of shade and only had them naked out in direct sunlight for a bit.

How, if at all, has working in porn affected the performers' job opportunities and reputations in communities once they returned? We've all heard about teachers (mostly in Florida it seems) who do porn and then return to teaching.

If your dick is buried in someone's throat, that kind of protects it from sun and mosquitos.

LOL.

Yeah, but your ass is still getting bled and burned.

I mean, you could write a whole book on that.

We all know about the two wrestlers from Fratmen, but there are all sorts of stories that are positive and negative.

What I always tell people is that if it would be the end of the world if your mom found out.. don't do it.. because she probably will.

A lot of people turn porn into a positive career booster... my doctor, for instance, was a Colt model. Jack Radcliffe became one of the biggest real estate agents in SF using his clout as one of the biggest gay porn stars in the 90s. It all depends on where you are, what you are and what you want to do with it.

I doubt I'll ever be president but I've had a few acting roles offered to me.

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

Well, there are no mosquitos in the desert. We did have to worry about the rattle snakes, scorpions and stinging nettle...

Have to be native-born to be POTUS. You were born in Canada, right? Unless you were born of/to US Citizen parents (or at least one), in which case you still count as native-born.

And you'd make a GREAT action hero! With lots of sarky cutting remarks as you slice up the bad guys! I'd go to that movie.

Wow, I would NOT be willing to be barefoot anywhere where there are scorpions. Brave guys. In fact...the presence of scorpions would pretty much make me cross a place off my list.

But then no one would be asking me to do porn in the first place. Unless it was for a very specialized market, and I don't think that "OFU Porn" has enough fans to make it viable!

I was actually born in Hartford. My dad was American and I was born just after he got out of the Airforce. But yeah, I grew up in Canada. Never thought of myself as American.

Oh man... let's talk about the black widows and tarantulas and coyotes and mountain lions, geckos, ground squirrels... it's like wild kingdom here.

Well, you'd never WIN but you're eligible.

Makes me want to move to Yellow Knife and stay there. But coyotes and geckos and ground squirrels don't bother me. But yeah, SoCal is not for me. Even if there were no scawwy aminals the sun is too damned bright. [STRIKE]I'd need to drink twice as much blood if I lived there.[/STRIKE]

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

Jack Radcliffe is my all-time favourite porn star. He's a real-estate agent now? Have you ever met him? Is he pleasant to work with?

Never worked with him but yes... I've met him. And he's just as handsome.. still. Charming, funny, sexy and he's got amazing taste in men (as in, he grabbed my ass and said it looked "nice").

I melted right there. He even smelled like the hottest man in history.

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

Now that I'm not all star-struck...

I've been considering getting into porn. I'd need to start working out and everything, as I definitely don't have a porn-ready body just yet. However, I have a Prince Albert piercing, and I'm just wondering if that's really a big problem in terms of getting work for porn? Of course, there's a market in the fetish community for guys with loads of piercings and tattoos, but I'm not really planning on getting any more piercings. Would this impede me getting work?

not in the least. some studios would have you take it out.
