SUPER MARINO’S GUIDE TO…

BECOMING A MALE PORN STAR
Now being a male porn star is a fantasy that most blokes have had at some point, and if I had a pound for every wiseguy that claimed he’d be able to do my job no problem, I’d be a very rich man. But is being a professional male porn actor as easy as it looks? Don’t believe it. But if it is something you might be interested in pursuing, then here are a few handy hints and tips that might serve you well.

Firstly, I don’t really like the term male porn star. I never set out to be one. All my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is have sex with women. Not just blonde Pamela Anderson types, I want to fuck them all – short, curvy, tall, black, white Asian, hairy, bald, you give me a woman and I want to knob her. Too many guys want to get in to porn so they can get to fuck women, but the truth is a real porn star already fucks a lot of women. I had sex with just as many women before porn as I have since being in it. I’ve spent my life learning about women. When I was a young man I used to visit every different type of working lady there was, to experience every thrill and sexual experience. So when I entered the world of porn I was already at ease with any situation that was laid in front of me. My advice to any budding porn star is not just to watch porn and try to replicate what you see, learn your own self control, learn about your penis, learn how to create chemistry with your partner. It’s not all about thrashing as hard as you can and spanking her arse – although, sometimes that can be effective. If you truly love women and are not just trying to get famous, porn will be a hell of a lot easier.
Naturally, appearance is key, and I go to the gym and take other regular exercise as this keeps my muscles tight and keeps my stamina up, and it makes me feel good about myself. And feeling good about yourself is very important to your ego. How are you going to have a good, enjoyable sexual experience, and more importantly, how are you going to achieve an erection in front of a room full of people if you’re not feeling confident in yourself? Eating a well balanced diet is important, and I take my vitamins and protein shakes. Not that I have some mental regime, the reason I take care of my diet is simple, it allows me to eat whatever I fancy when I fancy. I can splurge on junk food for a few days if I want, but so long as I have a balanced monthly diet I stay healthy and horny. I always make sure my personal hygiene routine is impeccable, because no woman should have to work with a slob. I’ve seen guys turn up on set with dirty toe and finger nails before now. You wouldn’t want to shag some smelly bird who doesn’t wash, so why should you expect someone to work with you if you’re not clean and considerate? Make sure you have your own personal kit bag of toiletries, potions and creams for before, during and after work. And for god’s sake, TAKE A FUCKING TOWEL WITH YOU.So many actors and actresses don’t bring them. It drives me crazy.

Learn how to talk to women, compliment them and make them feel at ease that they are working with you. This helps a lot, as here’s a little secret for you: not every girl will fancy you on set. But if you are polite, humorous and charming, they will all respond to you favourably to make the scene as sexy as possible. And just because you’ve had a good scene with a girl, don’t expect that it will naturally be any more than that. Don’t try to get every girl’s phone number. THAT’S MY FUCKING GIG! Learn how to be thick-skinned, because when you have a bad day, and believe me you will, it really hits you hard. It takes all of your mental strength to dust yourself down and prepare for the next job. Learn your trade, go work for producers as a runner if need be for nothing, get used to being on set and get used to how a crew works. This will make your performance better as you will understand what the crew have to go through. Do not fuck about with your health or that of anybody else. There’s nothing more despicable than selfish cunts that know they have something wrong with them, but still go to work to earn a few hundred quid. Have respect for all fellow sex workers, we know the risks we take, and it’s down to us to look after one another.
Get to know the lovely ladies in the industry and find out how they like to be treated on set sexually. Once you’ve built up a rapport with them, most will bend over backwards to make your scenes fun and easy. But my biggest word of advice is simply to enjoy yourself. This is one of the best vocations a young man could ever have. I’ve lived a thousand lives thanks to being a porn star. But don’t think for one minute that it hasn’t taken huge amounts of sacrifice, dedication, determination and inner strength I never knew I had.

Finally, remember this: the girls are the real stars. Woodsmen are purely extras in the fantasy. Never believe that you’re the star. The only thing that matters is that the girl is made to look as good as possible. It’s taken me 20 years of hard work to become an overnight success and I wouldn’t change my career for anything. It has made me the crazy little man that I am.
