HUBBA HUBBA: Adventures in the Skin Trade
Hunter arrived at the shoot with his boyfriend (performers frequently do this). This was his first scene EVER and he was so new to the biz he hadn’t even picked out his “porn name” yet.
My porn name (based on my first dog’s name and my street addy where I grew up is Sammy Fletcher. Is that hot or, not? I can’t decide…Anyway, Hunter’s boyfriend was happy to have him shoot a solo scene…I’ll keep you posted on future developments. Hunter is sweet and smoldering…I’d love to see him do more. And he better. As my character Jack Cannon he does a lot of fucking in my books!
It’s amazing to me how many guys drift in and out of gay porn. Guys fall in love and shoot movies together, they break up and still shoot movies together…I’ve seen a lot of that lately. You wonder if it’s awkward. They always swear it isn’t.
Real-life couple Samuel Colt and Tony Aziz shot a threesome with Nash Lawler. I didn’t know Samuel and Tony were a couple, I just saw the intense chemistry between them and then figured it out when I read Samuel’s tweets online.
Everyone tweets these days!
Shooting gay porn has a certain cache with guys who love to fuck – gay or straight. Straight guys shoot gay porn all the time. Performers are paid more for gay than straight, but still, things can go wrong. One of our models didn’t turn up to the set of “Bad Cops” one day. The director called him and left messages, with no response. We checked Twitter (he’s an obsessive tweeter) and learned he was on his way…to another shoot!
Our movie however heralds the return of the mighty Rob Romoni, who plays corrupt cop Will Tallman (ex-lover of my good guy cop Jack Cannon). Rob is a very naughty boy. If you don’t believe me, check out these pics. He sucks Tristan Jaxx, bottoms for him, plays with himself…and oh, he is great in this movie!
Rob is a fantastic tweeter and has a fab sense of humor. Follow his tweets here: http://twitter.com/robromoni
This brings me to another point: Gay porn is embraced and revered by its own community in a way that straight porn is not. There are many reasons for this, but I find it a fascinating subject and could go on at length but I won’t.
Hubba Hubba!
Sorry, I feel the urge to yell that. Don’t know why but I do…anyway, because of this acceptance, fans – and I include authors in this group – have closer access now, more than ever to gay porn stars. With so many female readers flocking to M/M fiction and also to gay porn, many performers are aware of this. Most of them are nice and love their female fans. The smart ones know that more and more women are watching their movies.
If you want to know how porn performers think and feel, read their blogs and tweets. Samuel Colt is one of the stars of “Bad Cops” but he doesn’t follow me on Twitter, which is cool. I checked his tweets after he shot a second, solo scene for us and was tickled by his candid tweet:
“Did a solo jerk off scene and ate my cum. It tasted like pineapple.”
I used that in the book!

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.
Addison Avery
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!
