This came up at work on night. While during down time one of the ladies mentioned that Jonh Bobbit (Lorena Bobbit’s cheating hubby) is now a porn star. She also said that inroder for him to become erect from a shoot that he has to pump “it” up to perform. Is this true? And if this is the case, how long does a pumped up penis stay up? ~~Tia3~~ ---

He was. He stared in one shortly after he was snipped. (Don’t want to post a link for obvious reasons. :)) ---

I think it was called ‘Frankenpenis’. ---

I actually had to _watch_ his porn movie, for an article I wrote for _Movieline_. Yikes. It was not pleasant. I didn’t get paid half enough. ---

You’ve all heard the joke, right? “Seen that porno with Bobbit in it? Starts off pretty good, but it falls off at the end.” 😃 ---

[slight hijack] A mutual acquaintance characterised him as being “somewhat peculiar”. [/slight hijack] ---

A porn actor? Yes. A porn star? Hardly. Mr. JW Bobbitt has made a grand total of two adult films–“John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut” and “Frankenpenis.” The 2nd film was released 6 years ago; since then he hasn’t done much else. ---

I have seen his film. I would say that he does not have a fully functioning penis. Other than that it was a typical useless yankee porno - plastic tits etc. Lemmy was good in it though. There’s a thought for you. Lemmy porn. ---

[John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0122561) was directed by none other than [Ron Jeremy](http://www.ronjeremy-themovie.com/meetron.htm). It does indeed have cameo appearances by Lemmy, Vince Neil, and Mr. Jeremy himself. John Wayne’s package seems to have survived the ordeal rather well, with minimal (though certainly visible) scarring considering what happened. (Interestingly, I note that my own twin one-and-a-half-inch incision scars on my groomies have largely disappeared within only a year and a half. There must be something going on there, but I don’t know what it is.) He doesn’t appear to have a pump or any other prosthetics, but at the same time he didn’t seem to me to be the most “solid” actor I’ve seen. He also comes across as a terrible actor, not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, and a rather inattentive, indifferent, or incompetent performer in the avocation in question. This may supply some insight into the former Mrs. Bobbitt’s motivations. ---

And since someone mentioned Christmas in this thread, and tis the season, I’d like to point out another unlikely porn actor: [Scottie Schwartz](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Schwartz,+Scott+(I)), one of the few porn actors to start out in the mainstream movie industry and then move to porn. As a child actor, he had a starring role in the film _The Toy_, but arguably, he will be more remembered for the part he played in the movie _A Christmas Story_. In one scene of that movie, young boys are daring each other to stick their tongues to a frozen flagpole in the middle of December. The unfortunate boy who actually does so, only to find out that tongues can stick to frozen metal, was Scottie Schwartz. Now in most of the porn films Mr. Schwartz appeared in, he was acting in a **ahem** non-performing role. The one notable exception was [Scotty’s X-Rated Adventure](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0152310).
