Porn Star?


purplekow

Recommended Posts

Are all porn actors stars???  Even the guy who plays the unsuspecting and fully clothed best friend seems to take the credit of being a porn star.   No matter the ad on rent men or otherwise, no one ever states, I have done porn, they are always a     PORN STAR.  .   So have you ever met a porn actor or only stars??

I'm eagerly awaiting to read the comments on this one PK baby!  I've done work for all sorts of studios, been on the cover of Playgirl magazine; twice a centerfold, been in Unzipped Magazine,   have done solo stuff for loads of "porn" studios, but to  "industry" people I'm hardly a "porn star" however to my friends and family I probably fit that bill lol There are real stars, yes, even in porn but I don't hold that title 😄 Have I been affiliated with "pornography"? You better bet your bottom dollar 😉 Because of my role with Manifestmen I could probably be called a pornographer lol 😂 

* I do love me some porn star martini's though! 🍸 🕺🏼

Combining flavors of passion fruit, vanilla, and sparkling wine, the Porn Star Martini has become modern...

For those who want to know how to make one.

They're always fun to ask for too... feels a bit naughty and it makes servers and bartenders giggle when they're not familiar with them 😜 They're pretty popular in the UK. I'll make you one next time I see you 👀 @purplekow

With so many guys on the fan sites, there's a lot of people shooting porn, but few true porn stars.

I don’t count myself as a porn star (well…if I’m trying to flatter my ego when I look in the mirror I do, but that’s not really the point is it!) and I’ve over a hundred porn films, for a studio, for other models and for my own fans platforms. I’d say I’m a porn actor.

When does one move from being a performer to a porn star? I think it’s when you’re browsing the net for material to get yourself off and you accidentally come across one of your own videos….

No, there are and have been very few actual stars in the pornographic firmaMENT (as the great Lina Lamont might say).  As in mainstream media, a "star" is a performer whose mere presence in the enterprise brings in a substantial fan base as paying customers.  In the days of 16mm filmed porn it was topline performers, then box cover images on VHS and DVD formats.  Now with everything online, awareness of any performer is tied to his social media and fansite presence.  That's not really stardom in my book.  Maybe "Top 1%" and similar tags indicate popularity, but it's really more about productivity, and from all reports that kind of stardom is very ephemeral.

To paraphrase a great lady of the screen, "they had FACES then."

Hahaha.  I'm rewatching Game of Thrones.  Tywin Lannister said to Tyrion "All my life I thought you were a stunted fool".  Tyrion answered "You were half right". 

The mention of "half" brings to mind another story.

Benjamin Disraeli, when his party was out of power, was once castigated by the Speaker of the House of Commons for saying that half the Cabinet were fools. Disraeli apologized: "I regret saying that half the Cabinet are fools, and now observe that half the Cabinet are not fools."

[Some liberties taken with exact phrasing.]

Depends on who you ask. I think that the term "Star" has become something similar to the term "Expert", "Senior", "Lead", "Coordinator", and others in the corporate world. No one wants to be called "worker", "employee", "performer", "for-hire", or things that apparently place them in a less special (or made-up) place. It's all marketing to me.

Personally those titles or characterizations mean very little to me, other than the guy might feel entitled to charge more for a perception of getting some kind of premium service. Just like Airlines now offer economy and "premium economy", which is nothing but that you are called to board before the economy class, giving the feeling that you are getting something extra for paying more.

Nicholas Meyer, the director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, said in Hollywood there are stars and there are actors, and William Shatner was a star. 

Stars on Mars. Were any of those people stars?

This is a more complicated question than first appears. First of all we are talking about actors who appear in pornograhic films. Then we are talking about a subject as gay men who consume porn and also hire men to act out our desires, often inspired by gay porn.

Then as gay men we may be tops, bottoms or versatile. So when watching gay porn we project our desires and fantasies on the actors portraying sexual acts. So it comes down to our preferences on top of how well we think these actors are performing, as in are they truly stars in their performances.

So then there is this group of actors who only appeal to certain portions of their audiences. In the Hollywood world, the men are tops and the women bottoms. In gay porn we view the actors through our own personal preferences. Thus I love Cade Maddox and couldn't care less who he is fucking. I project that the bottom is me. And  therefore I deem him a star.

I could mention quite a few others who fall in the same category. Then there are the porn actors whose names I'm not familiar with but when I see them perform on film, my eyes are dazzled with stardust. Which makes them stars.

A bit of irony that burns pretty hard and some self deprecation 😝 I bought this vintage LIFE magazine in a bookstore in Seattle a while back. I couldn't help myself, and I couldn't help myself by taking the selfie with it either 😂

To tell the truth, I did not recognize you immediately in the top picture.  Of course the second one is a dead giveaway

 

Admit it, Doc, it's kind of funny, right? 🤪
