HUBBA HUBBA: Adventures in the Skin Trade
By A.J. Llewellyn
When I was a starving film student, I survived on part-time jobs I found in the back of Dramalogue. I was stoked beyond belief one morning to find a job pretty fast as a production assistant on a low-budget movie called “Hubba Hubba.”
I should have been suspicious when nobody checked my neatly-typed resume or my lengthy references. I should have realized when all they wanted to know was, “How fast can you run?”
As it happened, the shoot was straight porn and had an interesting premise of a serial-killing nympho. I tried not to be shocked at all the nudity and boy did I have to run when two days into production, the cops shut us down.
My father has always said I should have known it was ‘hinky’ from the title. He always claimed that would-be film gave me a taste for decadence. Me, I think I’m still sore that I never got reimbursed for the coffee and donuts I bought for the crew two mornings in a row.
I was disappointed I never got to see my name in lights sooner but hey, now that I have a book and gay porn movie deal, I do!
My friend John Bruno suggested we do four books based on some ideas he had and he would shoot them as webisodes for his Massive Studio website. The webisodes will then be released as DVDs.
“Laid” which came out September 15 was filled with sex scenes I totally imagined and adored writing. John loved the carwash scene and all the others but said, “Dude, all that water…that’s expensive to shoot.” He confessed he always wanted to do a scene in a car wash and all that voodoo I’ve been doing must be working because he is now trying to figure out how to shoot it.
[Post a comment to win a copy of “Laid” the first book in the Massive Studio series. Tell me your porn name and it will get you closer to winning.]
In the meantime, on “Bad Cops” our second project together, featuring the same characters, I wrote the sex scenes around ones he actually shot.
John Bruno has a fantastic eye for talent. Check out this pic of his discovery Hunter Marx (cover model for my book “Laid”) in a masturbation sequence we shot for the webisodes of “Bad Cops” airing in November on www.massivestudio.com.
I’m not just saying this, but it was one of the most erotic jerk-off sequences I’ve ever seen…involving, wait for it: A LAWNMOWER!

Great post. I’ve been lurking here all week with a huge smile.
Ryan–I’m so glad you’re enjoying this. I’ve been so busy with everyone else’s I haven’t gotten my own posts up, but I think you’ll like those photos too. And what’s your porn name?
AJ–this post is fascinating. I have so many things I want to know about the filming!
FIrst though, since I do want to win: my porn name is Coconut Twin Lights. I grew up in Miami and most of the streets had numbers not names, so this is where I lived in NJ after we left FL. We lived on Twin Lights Drive, near twin lighthouses, of which there are only like 9 pairs in the whole world. It’s actually a pretty good name for a female porn star….
So, I’m curious about how the boyfriends feel about watching their partners have sex with other guys. Do they just consider it a job? Do the guys actually enjoy the sex when filming?
Yeah Ryan, what’s your porn name?? And what about you, EM??
Hi EM, You made up that porn name – is that real??? I love it. Twin lights conjurs up big hooters!
Sorry…anyway, there is a famous gay for pay porn star whose girlfriend goes nuts when he does movies but he still does them.
As for boyfriends, some love it and also participate. Some love it and love to watch…others have a very hard time with it.
>>My porn name (based on my first dog’s name and my street addy where I grew up is Sammy Fletcher.<<
Well, "Fletcher" relates to "fletching", so it makes for a pretty evocative porn name.
EM, that porn name is definitely a winner! My porn name is Corby Beach. AJ, I loved Laid and can’t wait for episode 2. I think it’s so exciting to not only read the story but actually watch it! You’re definitely a leader in this industry with not only the first book/porn duo, but the first audiobook with Phantom Lover (eXtacy). Since there are now a few more m/m audiobooks (and we hope lots more down the road!), we can only hope there’ll be more book/porn partnerships!! As for boyfriends watching their lover with others? I couldn’t do that unless I were right in there with them!! Thankfully, my partner isn’t into it so I don’t need to find out…
Actually the word you’re thinking of is feltching…lol
what is YOUR porn name Molly? Come on…tell us!
AJ–wasn’t there a Simpsons ep where the cinema was showing “FELTCH” instead of “FLETCH”? I wonder how many people got the joke. Clearly the censors didn’t.
Jon, I love ya sweetie and Corby Beach is the coolest porn name EVER!
I’m excited about AJ’s latest projects and wanted to stop by and check them out. You’re an inspiration, AJ.

Great post AJ!! These guys really do sound awesome and down to earth(not to mention HOT)!! but I can’t imagine their boyfriends being ok with it if their not participating. I’m wonderinf are the scenes real or do they fake the pleasure?
cant wait for these movies!
as for my porn name…I will have to come up with something for you.;-)
xoxo, sandra
Love ya too, hon! What are you working on now?
I thought about that EM!!
Jon I am working on a new series of books with a major M/M author for a HUGE publisher. I am so stoked but don’t want to say who it is until everything is signed and it’s a done deal xo
Lets see my porn name would be Pixie Silver!! AJ you are the most entertaining and smartest person i know right now. I love the things you share. Thank you for the insightful looking into the Gay porn industry. I think a lot of people could learn from the gay porn industry.
oxoxoxoxox
Oh this is FUN! As to porn names… geez I used up all my naming ability on my kids. And no, their names aren’t porn-ish… 😀 ‘Sides I have LAID ~ and loved it ~ and I’m looking forward to when everything’s done. November 15th eh? Not too much longer!
Well AJ as usual an awesome and informative blog. My daughter strolled into my room and I had to flip my screen down on my laptop. Close call…lol. I have already read Laid. Awesome!!! I just had to post my porn name anyway. Eric Drive. All kinds of images came to mind( no pun intended) I did not like Fort Meadow drive so shortened it..Whatcha think?
>>Actually the word you’re thinking of is feltching…lol
what is YOUR porn name Molly? Come on…tell us!<<
Dammit, you're right. *blushes furiously*
In my defense, I'm on pretty strong pain killers.
My porn star name, based on the first pet/first street rule would be… Molly Church.
Butch Newkirk…how is that for a porn name? We had 2 dogs so close friends can call me Prince Newkirk…..lol.
Best of luck on your upcoming enterprises AJ. I loved LAID and can’t wait until Bad Cops comes out!
R. D.
Oh Man I’m lovin’ these porn names!
Pixie Silver is perfect for a voracious porn-pop-tartlet. I can see her in silver high heels and…er…not much else!
Eric Drive – fantastic. Sounds like a guy with a big you-know what and I think Butch Newkirk is hot.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Thanks to Silver Pixies, Samuel Colt is now following me on Twitter and posted that he loves the blog!!
I am Pixie Silver’s SO of 9yrs. I told her i was going to join the party too. (stole her netbook)
My Porn Name – The Milk Man
I Love Me some Milk and i Always Leave my Deliveries at the Back Door.
HA HA HA! MasterDarkCrow…thanks for stopping by.
Oh…I just found out LAID is a finalist in the Jury’s Choice for Contemporary Fiction in the Rainbow Awards! http://tinyurl.com/yjdxglu
Good timing kids!!
AJ, great post! I already have LAID and loved it! Congrats on being a finalist. My porn name would be Muffin Nettleton, not a very good one…lol
What a great blog AJ! I love it! I’m so looking forward to the rest of the books in the series as well as the dvd’s. I know they’re gonna be HOT!
As for the porn name…mine turns out to be Lady Meridian. Hmm..that’s kinda interesting and could be kinky! LOL!
Interesting stuff, AJ. Great post. And congrats on being a finalist for the Rainbow Awards!
My porn name: Trixie Twenty.
My porn name is Stony Catalpa… I actually kind of like it, but not as much as I like this post.
One of my secrets is that I would love to write screenplays for gay porn. I write a lot of fanfiction (just branching out into the original stuff), but I have become a pretty popular “smut” writer (or so many of my readers say).
I use porn as inspiration and research purposes… Yeah, let’s go with that, haha!
Wonderful post!
Sloan, London and Danielle, your porn names are hysterical. Alas, Muffin Nettleton…could be quite spiffy shortened to Muff Nettleton. YOWZA!
Me likeeyyy!!!
London…I wnated to write a porn script for John…but they only run eight pages!! LOL A lot of ad libbing and not much um…plot which is why we’re doing this!
Thanks everyone for the great posts!!
BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AJ – this is awesome! It’s a gay romance writers dream come true – to see a film made of their book.
You’re living the dream!!!
Hey, by the way, since I was a Bourbon Street stripper in another life, I have a stage name…Lusty L’amour.
But, if I were to do your method….I’d be Tiger Hillary.
Think I’m sticking to Lusty.
Okay– this was totally cool. I always wondered about the attitude inside the industry–the guys always LOOKED like they were having a good time–it’s nice to know they actually ARE! (My porn name is Squinter Elm. I think I’m destined to never be seen naked on film. Thank God.)
I don’t know, Amy. Squinter Elm could be a really geeky guy with glasses, and when he takes them off, he becomes like superman — gorgeous with a HUMUNGOUS cock! You know, like an elm…LOL
I agree Jon. Squinter Elm could be super hot. Lusty L’amour is great though…thanks again everyone!
LOL– okay– so maybe Squinter Elm could be sexy… I just keep thinking about my poor old neutered gray tabby!
