Porn Stamina

I hate to rain on your parade, but I spent four years in the porn industry as a cameraman, shooting over 200 movies.

Guess what? The guys really do last that long. A typical porn scene is shot in one take, and often edited to become shorter, not longer.

Additionally, the “fluffer” story, while widely accepted, is an urban legend. I never once saw a fluff girl on any of our sets.

And the Staff Report being referenced is Where do male porn stars get their stamina?

I’ve noticed that certain cold medications drastically reduce my ability to “finish” quickly, if at all. I’m assuming it’s the cough suppressants, seing as coughing is a parasymathetic reflex similar to orgasm.

Welcome to the boards!

You know, your username + this thread’s material is…um…on second thought I’m not going to touch it…

You should start a thread called “Ask the Porn Camera man”.

Seconded.

Ooze, while I don’t wish to call your credentials into question, I have seen plenty of porn movies where watching the background will indeed indicate a distinct lack of continuity. Unless they guys can last hours and hours, enough for say the sun to move, in which case they should be the subject of a number of rigorous studies. :smiley:

What do you mean “Why do you analyze porn movies”? :confused:

Thirded!

Oh, please, I have so many questions!

Oh geeze…I just hope they don’t make it a “sticky” thread :rolleyes:

<snort>

You have stories I want to hear.

I’ve also seen a male porn star snorting something from a small vial (not so discreetly) on screen. I assumed they used drugs for stamina.

On second though…I’ve HEARD of a male porn star…yea…that’s it…

Ooze, how long have you been in the business? My understanding is that fluffers were more common in the old days when they used film. Along came the '80s and camcorders, and fluffers became less important. The idea being that film gets used up and is expensive, but tape is cheap and can be reused.

FTR, there was an Ask the Pornographer thread last year. I don’t know if abby is still around to answer questions, though.

Only a college student could have asked this question in the first place - I imagine most men don’t think being able to do it for 20-30 minutes at a time is particularly special (although it was unlikely when we were young). As for the use of drugs I don’t know of any that help (with the obvious exception). However circumscision, regular sex and/or frequent masterbation will all help to delay ejaculation. The pop star Sting claims to go on for hours, even up to 8 hours at a time, using Tantric sex techniques.

you listed your homepage as “Adult Joke Of The Day”.

Hmmm.

Could this, perhaps, indicated that you are trying to fool us with claims about your “expertise”? As a “joke” about an “adult” subject?

After all, what you are saying flys in the face of other source material.

If I am wrong, I am perfectly willing to apologize.

In a similar vein, I did see an article and photo of a “special assistant” to Jennifer Lopez, who’s job it was to make sure her nipples were erect prior to a shoot or take.

I have submitted my resume and cover letter, but haven’t heard back… yet. :rolleyes:

I was hoping the report would be chock full of ways to boost the sexual experience and make it last longer. But alas I think he gave us the truth. Darn! Can’t you lie a little Euty? And good grief how do they find fluffers?

Help Wanted, fluffer to ahhh…never mind.

I have heard of people that use the muscle relaxant ANAPROX (think that’s how it’s spelled) to delay… the inevitable.

There was a Frontline on PBS a while ago about porn, and I believe they said that the advent of Viagra has changed the face of male porn stars. The way I understand it is:
[ul]
[li]Until recently, there were only a handful of male porn stars (e.g., that hairy, tubby guy, Ron something)[/li][li]The reason why there were so few was partly because of anatomic considerations, and[/li][li]That they were “woodsman,” which is to say that they could keep it up (literally) for extended periods of time[/li][/ul]
They were highly sought after because they would reduce the time between takes. Now, Viagra can make a porn star out of anyone from the way I understand it.

I always wondered why some of the men porn stars seem to have large penis’s (penisii?), but small testicles, I thought that this was the reason they lasted so long, that they had some sort of surgery to make them last. Or maybe because they shoot so much that their testicles have shrunk? Anyone know the answer on why they have smaller testicles?
