Watching porn leads to growing up and being a porn star in the same way that watching Dexter leads to being a serial killer, or watching Breaking Bad leads being a meth kingpin.

Which is to say, not at all.

The former gay porn actor has described his own journey into the darkest core of the gay underworld in the Castro District of San Francisco in the early 90’s as like being “Swallowed by Satan” – the title of his new book, in which he recounts his experiences.


Moderator cut: edit
His story sounds about right. I don't know about the Satan thing but that does not surprise me at all.

Gay men have easier time getting sex than heterosexual men. Way easier. So easy.

If I wanted to I could have sex with several male strangers tonight. Not much of a problem. A gang bang too.

Basically, gay men are men and think with their penises, except they have the benefit of not having to deal with women. Women are extraordinarily prejudiced and discriminating. Men? Not really.

He was attracted to females, looked at porn, got addicted to porn, got into greater porn fetishes including gay porn. Then he went out to see if he was gay. He got caught up in a hardcore scene.

Yes, like the first drink for an alcoholic is known to lead to a blackout where he doesn't remember raping his own daughter, for this guy pornography and his addiction to it led to building a tolerance and getting into deeper fetishes.

Porn does that. At least to those that view it frequently. Tolerance builds up. And the internet know allows access to crazy sexual fetishes several decades ago I had no idea existed. My tolerance has built up with porn too. I usually (not always) require "harder porn" than "soft porn" to really get aroused sufficiently. I went from Playboy to Hustler to hard pumping video sex online to tranny porn to deep throat porn to BDSM to bukkaie (or however you spell it).

I've decreased the amount of porn I watch and to a smaller extent the frequency too. Actually, maybe I view it a lot less frequently.

A lot of it disgusts me quickly now. Even some soft porn. Thanks be to God.




Edit to add video

Here the author of the book Swallowed by Satan of the OP's story... talks about his journey and struggles. He's had to have his butt-hole surgically operated on due to the years of being sodomized.

What really beats me is that in all the years here, I have never seen any atheist raise a thread concerning sexuality and/or porn. This goes a long way to illustrate how reprobate theists actually are, concerning themselves with the sex lives of other strangers.

You lot should really ask yourself why exactly is sex and in particular the sexual proclivities of strangers so front and centre in your lives if you are not perverts with hidden sexual desires? The evidence does seem to bear witness to those that rail against it so hard in the end go off the deep end. Jimmy Swaggert, and many other preachers.

Eh... Joseph Sciambra was one doing the gay porn, and the one that authored the book, not me, but nice try at trying to deflect from the sexual debauchery he claims goes on among anti-Christian gays and many gays that aren't necessarily anti-Christian either.

He acknowledge sexual debauchery goes on among heterosexuals too. Not as much as goes on within the gay male community. Rates wise at least.

His Interview on Howard Stern show goes into some of that stuff. Like urinating in mouths. He got into Nazi fetish too. Where gay men take on the Nazi beliefs and dress up in Nazi apparel. He says he was always uncomfortable about the hating on Jews part though. Apparently, a lot of wealthy, married men used to pay him to defecate on them.

The Howard Stern interview. (Probably not good for minors to hear... then again If I say the Pope or Christianity says minors shouldn't hear it then liberals will vehemently object and say kids should learn about all things sexual, and they'll bring up the words "love" and "science.")

You missed the point entirely. If atheists are as lewd as many times inferred, then why do they not concern themselves with the sex lives of strangers. I mean, do you know this porn star personally or is is a xian talking point?

I never heard of Joseph Sciambra or any other porn stars being alluded to and that in itself is telling of the mindset of theists. Why would any strangers sex life affect you? Why would you even discuss it or think about it unless you folk are repressed perverts?

The porn industry does not thrive on the subscriptions of atheists so in fact the theists would be the biggest demographic that does. That alone should tell you something.

Back in the day of censorship here in SA, you could not get a playboy, certain mags had to be wrapped in plastic bags but you do not even see this type of mag for sale anymore in the supermarket and the most popular one we had here no longer is published. The only place you will find these mags now is at sex shops in the cities.

If you have access to the internet, you can get whatever you "need" for free so magazines are for the most part redundant.

It is this aspect of making stuff verboten that actually makes people curious and as it is in the US, here 78% self identify as xian.

Hardly. This is a thread about pornography. Not about homosexuality. Pornography is a fiction on screen. It is hardly representative of actual homosexuality.

But the bias you suffer from is clear here. Gay pornography in your eyes shows that Homosexuality is moral depravity. The former is guilty by proxy to the latter. But of course Heterosexual porn is just bad in and of itself and does not reflect on the moral depravity of heterosexuality.

One rule for you and one rule for them does nothing but show YOU in a poor light, not them.

No. It is not. This is just your opinion and if you do not want to engage in it, or purchase it, then do not. But do not continue to misrepresent your own dislike for something as being evidence that there is anything wrong with the thing in question. That is just projecting.

Nope. They just highlight and promote even more ignorance and prejudice about homosexuality.

I'm not aware of any 21st century gay and lesbian people who use ritual anal sex with people of the opposite gender, as well as the same gender, to worship 1st century fertility gods in pagan temples in Corinth like Paul was referring to... but hey, you never know.

Poor girl fled religion so she could live happily, free from the hell she was in. She is happy now, and free to have a wonderful life on this planet.

Hey PoppySead.
You are right...it goes both ways...and all should strive to be "happy", whatever situation they consider that to be.
Plus...peoples' "preferences" can change with time. And a new "comfort zone" doesn't necessairly mean the former is not cool for anybody else, or even that it was bad for the person during that time past.

Possibly being the only member of this board that has been directly involved in the industry for a long time, I feel I should weigh in on this in general.
I've put up some posts when the discussion turned to the subject in the past:
//www.city-data.com/forum/19994057-post170.html
//www.city-data.com/forum/13764527-post54.html

Some think that someone in the porn industry couldn't do it as a career, and has a "short shelf life". This is not true. Longevity is not the typical...but more common then you think. I have quite a few that have been working for me for over 20 yrs...a couple I have worked with since the mid-80s when I started. Some professions let you retire (maybe even give a pension) if you work that long...so that amount of time could certainly be considered "long".
