Porn actor sensitivity?

Just a random question really, not that I’m expecting anyone to have first hand knowledge but if you do and are happy to share, go for it!

I have read articles before about pro porn actors (those with penisis) where they are usually filmed in multiple scenes to allow the actors time to “recover”, vs one long shoot, as well as some actors using viagra/etc to help that recovery/get hard in the first place/on cue.

What I’m curious about though, is if they use any desensitising type treatments, e.g. ELMA type creams or other methods, as it must be the sensitivity that gets them to orgasm. I get that it’s probably not as sexy as it looks on the other side of the camera but still there must be temptation to just cum super quick or on that day they happen to have increased sensitivity etc.

I believe most US actors tend circumcised, as it is more common in the US for health as well as religious reasons, and there is conflicting evidence that can reduce sensitivity, but is that enough?

Curious!

This is incorrect.

The high rate of circumcision in the US is solely due to the commercialisation of circumcision for “hygiene/health” reason.

One must remember over there health care is a business, and revenue is the aim.

Circumcision is very rarely needed for medical reasons, and never for hygiene. Hygiene is simply dictated by how often an individual cleans themselves.

Now, for the main subject of your thread, I dunno, I can keep going for a long time.

I can alternate nice and slow long strokes and pounding for 20/30mns plus and chose to come or not once my wife has orgasmed.

Thanks for the reply and correction, just something I’d seen in a (seemingly) reputable article on why there were a lot of circumcised actors in US porn.

I reckon they must film and take breaks in between as a cool down but Viagra defo plays a big part I bet to keep things hard throughout and I know in some porn videos it’s common for the men to not always climax so they then fake it with synthetic cum to look like they’re shooting a bigger load!

So, never been a pornstar. But I have some knowledge of how it was and how it is now. I kept my experience to myself but don’t mind sharing given the forum.

Years ago I was attending part of my college in south Florida. I can tell you if you’re attractive and take part in the social life down there you will get propositioned to work in porn. Admittedly I came pretty close but couldn’t dare putting my face out there. I had a casual sex partner I’d met at a club who’s actually still in the industry all these years later. He was pushing me gently to give it a shot and occasionally I would go to the studio with him. Before I knew it I was contracted thru the company but stayed 100% behind the scenes. I’m not exaggerating when I say some of these scenes, especially the group and gangbang stuff would last 3-4 hours sometimes. Lots of breaks, guys cumming when they shouldn’t, and camera stuff etc. There were a few of us who would get the guys going again before the scene started back up and it was honestly a great time as there was no worry about anything due to the testing etc.

As for the guys. Almost all of them were on ED meds to help them out. Not only to stay hard but to slow down when they’d cum. There were a few white actors who would film and they would be red from the meds. Harder to tell with the black guys but they would pretty routinely take something as it was readily available in the studio. A lot of the guys during their break would get warmed up and would wear a ring as if they needed the appearance of more size. Never saw any creams but there would be a lot of breaks for live as well.

I know a couple of porn stars from my days in Los Angeles entertainment. They take Viagra, multiple breaks, joke around between takes, get a drink, have something to est and none of them, to my knowledge, took any desensitizing agents because fucking was so common to them that an orgasm often took a lot more time than the director’s would have liked.

Thanks for the insights, I did wonder if it was simply desensitising by being around porn/sex so much that took the edge off things that way.

Noticed you’re still active on the forum so even though this is an older post, I’ll chime in.

Different men in porn do different things.

A good amount will use Viagra or Cialis.

There are injections that some in porn inject into their penis to remain erect. Trimix is one such thing some will inject into their penis to remain erect for long periods of time.

There are others besides Trimix. Another is Caverject. They are ICI’s, intracavernosal injections.

Not many, but some, at least one male porn actor had an implant put in to become and remain erect.

Not many, but some male porn actors are able to remain erect for long periods of time without any aides.

One man who remained erect naturally for long periods of time was described by a popular well known porn actress in the following way.

She said she was in shape, did cardio but she was still getting tired and winded with him. He went on and on and then he’d “pop” (ejaculate) and then he’d keep going.

She said he “popped” many times, then took a break to get something to eat and he still had a raging boner while eating and he came back over after the break and they resumed filming and he “popped” several more times.

She said while she was sore and tired, she wanted to see how it was going to end, how long he’d last but after hours and hours they finally finished and he was still erect.

My main point is that there isn’t one size that fits all. Many will use things, but not all of them do and not all of them use or try the same things either.

Some estimates are as high as 95% of male talent in porn use something to help them become or remain erect on set.

Besides using things to remain erect, a tad more about male performers is that directors want them to be able to ejaculate darn near on demand, at the right time.

That isn’t always possible so they film in segments and piece together the footage. Other times they will use fake ejaculate as well, when the male talent isn’t able to ejaculate when he’s needed to.

Many directors want them to be able to shoot out several feet too instead of dribbling out, though that happens in porn too of course.

Porn director Adam Glasser

Can you ejaculate 4.75 tablespoons of semen at least 6 feet?
That’s a joke, right?

Not really. Glasser didn’t hesitate to give us the exact seminal fluid measurements he requires from his male performers.

It should be “Enough to full glaze a face,” he says. “At least 4.75 tablespoons.”

“The minimum shooting distance is 6 feet,” Glasser says.

Why 6 feet? “So you can stand at most women’s feet while they are prone and reach their faces,” he explains. “Aim is what separates the good ones from the great ones.”

Folks, keep in mind that things haven’t always been the same in porn, for either the male or female performers.

Things today didn’t exist decades ago.

Viagra and Cialis didn’t exist decades and decades ago.

ICIs that male performers inject into their penises didn’t exist long ago.

Fake ejaculate wasn’t used decades and decades ago which is why long ago it was more important for male talent to be able to cum on demand.

It’s easier to piece together footage today with today’s technology than to have to splice actual film footage, like from an 8 mm film and due to this, scenes may be stopped and “filmed” later and pieced in far easier today than long ago.

And as most know, porn has changed a great deal from decades ago. Going back to the 70’s and 80’s, a lot of porn were like movies, with plots, lines etc. though the story lines and the “acting” wasn’t great, they were still movies.

Porn has long changed to filming more scenes instead of movies. The internet fundamentally changed porn from movies to shooting scenes.

The Digital Era: With the rise of home video (VHS) and later the internet, demand skyrocketed and production costs plummeted. The industry transitioned to short, situational scenes focused on specific performers and actions, largely eliminating the need for a traditional plot”

That change means many porn shoots today aren’t 8, 10 or 12 hours long anymore on a set. That means that not all the male talent has to be erect on demand for 7 or 8 hours.

Theatrical vs. Streaming: Because 70s porn was a theatrical experience, the financial incentive was to make a broadly appealing, cohesive movie. Today’s market is built around mass volume, short-form streaming, and on-demand content”

Like everything else, there have been many changes in porn over the decades and more changes are yet to come as well.

Appreciate the detailed reply, thanks!

The sensitivity vs erect element intrigues me more.

I get some actors use viagra etc and some can naturally can keep going but its more the sensitivity of the glands where I’m curious to know if that’s just from repeated activity (so essentially almost a callus, same as finger tips learning guitar/bass) or if some actors use like an EMLA cream for sensitivity.

I guess desensitising is key, both for touch and mentally.
