Ask the Pornographer.

What is the funniest/weirdest thing a fratmen has said or asked for on a shoot (anyone with a rider asking for 500 white rose petals, a bowl of skittles with all non-prime colours removed etc?)

I've thought about this one and I can't really think of much. We take the guys to get groceries at the start of every shoot so everyone gets their favorite foods and the one that stands out the most for me is when Max and Payne said that they drank a gallon of skim milk each every day and ate a dozzen eggs every day. So we got 6 gallons of skim milk and 6 dozen eggs. And yes.. they inhaled them.

Do you have any phobias that affect your work at fratmen?

Not exactly, but two of the guys wanted to go sky diving and there just ain't no way I'd be able to get into the plane to shoot that.

What do love the most about the Golden State and what do you hate the most about the Golden State?

 

[Soilwork]

Love: canyon roads

Hate: being among people who voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 

[Pushyourluck]

Do you like Dame Shirley Bassey?

 

[Soilwork]

I do. I'm not a huge fan but yes, I've got a couple records.

The only one I'm really not fond of is the disco version of "I who have nothing."

- What do you consider silly in porn?
(sorry if it was asked before)

I'd probably piss off a lot of friends in the industry if I really went off on what I find silly. We'll just say that people who don't take their work seriously are often unaware of how ridiculous their movies are.

I'm not talking about moaning too much.

What are your thoughts about muslim actors in porn?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean do I have a problem with members of a particular religion in porn? Of course not. There are a few middle eastern men in porn that I think are hot...

If I were to visit LA, and for some reason you were my tour guide, what would we do for the trip?

^ - Are you James? Thought I would post the comment here since she seems to be deleting comments.

"Fratmen - not Fratboys, you tool, is it so hard to look at the fucking watermark? - consists almost entire of straight men who simply aren't homophobes, and are willing to be in porn aimed at a gay market because it pays a damn sight better.

"Okay. Then let me start off by saying that Unsure is GAY! LOL! The gayest of gay. Gayer than Pauly Shore and Richard Simmons having sex with the Village People on Fire Island. (LMAO)"

He is not gay. Like I said, fratmen has a very small percentage of gay actors - and it works out around the same proportion as the total population.

Even if this shoot was proof he was gay, how does this seemingly make him the gayest man alive?

You're a really really shit author. Please stop writing.

And stop using that fucking @!"

Yep, that's me! That whole article was pathetic, really.

Hate: being among people who voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Eh-hem...

Sad, but true

 

[Soilwork]

If I were to visit LA, and for some reason you were my tour guide, what would we do for the trip?

Go to MR. S where I'd strip you naked, hang you from the ceiling and let you wank off for the customers.

Go to Rough Trade and try on cool leather clothes.

Go to WeHo for some trashy twink fun.

go to Venice Beach to have a stroll on the board walk and enjoy the insanity of it all.

Go shopping along Melrose.

 

[kevbo]

sounds fun.

you free next weekend?

How many pornographers does it take to change a light bulb?

 

[Soilwork]

- Have you ever considered being a nudist?

Not really. I like wearing gear too much.

- What was the most recent concert you went to?

It's been way too long. I think the last live show I saw was Lacuna Coil opening for Rob Zombie about a year ago.

- Who are three musicians you'd want to do a porn with, and what would the scenes be?

I'd love to do a scene with Bjorn Strid from Soilwork. Have him solo up in the mountains in Sweden.. show the stunning scenery and countryside. Play up the dark terrain and forest with his pale skin. Colours would look great, and he's got a rough and rugged but still manicured look that I like.

have you met kevin williams??

he was my teenage crush

 

[Soilwork]

I meant, what is it like to working with them? Are there many? I've heard that in french porn there are many Algerians. Knowing what Moroccan sex-workers are like in my country, that must be a very interesting experience to make such movies. (I know it's probably not a good comparison, but it's the nearest thing for me). Have you had experiences wih porn made by actors of significantly different cultures from your own?

We only had one Turkish Fratmen model (Alex) and I don't know if he was muslim or not.

As far as Fratmen with significantly different cultures... all the time.. usualy, in fact.

This weekend we shot a new guy named Doug who lives in a town of 1500 people in rural Mississippi and works on a farm. That's about as different from my life experience as it gets.

He and I had a great time chatting late into the night and I really hope we get to work with him again because I had a blast hanging with him.

 

[neruda]

Oh, whats the percentage of women subscribers to Fratmen.TV?
Do you/is it possible to keep a count?

 

[Soilwork]

Is there such a thing as beard porn?
(no I don't mean bear).

Sure.

Didn't you see that scene with Nicole Kidman having awkward sex with Tom Cruise in "Eyes Wide Shut?"

 

[Soilwork]

have you met kevin williams??

he was my teenage crush

no. he was a cutie, although I wanted Chad Douglas a bit more...

19 year old virgin here awake at 4AM in the morning.

I've lived a pretty sheltered life and realise that I turn 20 in 3 months and have barely done anything that can be counted as a life experience.

What is can you suggest that I do with these remaining 3 months?

well.. I'm going to be in Australia in 4 weeks. How about we go out on Oxford Street in Sydney and I show you?

Seriously... I find that life happens while you're busy doing other things. You really need to make sure that you make the decision to make the changes to your life that you want to make... if that makes sense.

Decide what kind of man you want to be and then go become him. Even I had to take motorcycle riding lessons and buy my first leather pants at one point.

 

[Soilwork]

How much bisexual porn is made in California? Is it a large percentage?
Or has the genre become marginalized these days?

You know, Bisexual Porn is a dying artform, to be honest. I know very few studios that make it. It's been replaced by "Gay4Pay" porn and "Straight sex for gay men" porn.

It was always niche but when studios really broke it down, they realized that their audience was really two audiences clamouring for attention.. the ones that wanted to see straight guys together and the ones that wanted to see straight sex that gave more attention to the men.
