A few years ago I received a humorous thing through e-mail entitled "Thirty things the porn industry wants you to believe." It was utterly hilarious and very true. I recently did a Google search to see if I could find it again. I didn't but I did find an interview with a porn star by the name of Lexington Steele for some muscle-builder website. Being the sort of person who slows down to look at car accidents, I figured, what could be a bigger car accident than the life of a porn star? Intrigued, I read. Mr. Steele's remarks are in italics. My smart-ass interjections are in plain text.
For the full interview in all its meat-headed glory, go here http://www.getbig.com/iview/steele040315.htm
Who Lex is in his own words
I went to Syracuse University. I graduated in 1993. From '93 until '98 I was a Wall Street Stock Broker. With one of the firms I worked for, my office was located on the 36th floor of the World Trade Center. If I hadn't gotten into porn and stayed in high finance I would have been in those towers on September 11th.
See? Not only is having frequent unprotected sex with strangers fun, but it can actually save your life.
In 1997 I started doing some regular mainstream modeling. Some folks suggested I get involved with adult modeling so by March of 1998 I was in Los Angeles working in adult film. I completely gave up finance because I said to myself, "Damn, I've always wanted to do porno, and I can always fall back onto corporate America." I went out to LA with enough money to sustain myself for three months and the plan that, if I made it, great, if not, I'd return to the Wall [Wall Street]. Things worked out!
"I've always wanted to do porno, and I can always fall back onto corporate America." You know, for once in my life I am utterly incapable of finding a way to make someone else's statement funnier or more ironic than it already is...
On why travel has been good for him...
Oh, yeah! I get to travel: I've literally been on 5 of the 7 continents. I've had women from all over the world, from Brazil to Tokyo. You name it. When I do leave the industry, I'll take the memories of the traveling with me. Those are the times I am able to bond and get comfortable with the people I work with. That's important because when that cameraman or director is shooting you in a sex scene, you are at the utmost level of comfort and you can do what you have to do in front of them in front on the camera.
He's right, you know. I've found that I can comfortably whack off in front of any man if I've shared a ten-hour flight and a few bags of peanuts with him. Can't you?
On why some shoots are more stressful than others
In NY, we always shot at the Waldorf Astoria and I always knew the cameraman and the director: the only variable was the girl. In LA, every single day it's a different girl, different director and location, different variables. These are things that can really throw some salt in your game.
I hear ya, Lex. I went to a nude beach once and I had "salt" in my "game" the whole rest of the day. Boy did that itch!
An industry rife with STD's...
But Aids isn't the only problem in the business. Most of the action is shot bareback [without condoms] and STDs are rampant. I've been in this business 4 years; if I don't know what herpes looks like, I don't know what the back of my hand looks like.
So... is he saying he's got herpes on the back of his HAND!? Ewww...
I was in Budapest, Hungary, doing a scene on a golf course. The director and producer have this girl, and her ass looks like it was on fire!
His first clue was the bright orange flames and the smell of charring flesh...
I told them get another girl or put me on a plane back to the States. I keep a watchful eye over my body. Because of my job I have to consistently monitor my body.
After he gets done keeping a watchful eye over his body beacuse of his job where he has to consistently monitor his body, then he has sex.
How Lex maintains his uber-buff physique...
I focus a lot on curls and work with dumbbells. In the industry I am able to do a lot of things other guys cannot do because I do work out all the time. For example, if I take a woman into a reverse cowgirl position [woman riding on top of man, facing his feet] and I decide to stand up-that's tough to do! Most of these women weigh anywhere from 100 to 125 pounds. When I curl I use the Olympic bar with a 45 pound plate on each side. This way I am able to curl women on camera and into various positions.
Then he puts them in a box and saws them in half! Then he escapes from chains and a straight jacket while hanging upside down in a tank full of water! Once he even made the statue of liberty disappear!
My workouts allow me to hold positions for 3 to 5 minutes compared to some out-of-shape guy who can only hold a position for 30 seconds. That gives the director a lot of great footage.
Whatever. Just skip to the damn money-shot already!
Many guys start to sweat and they start to break down on camera and that can lead to loss of an erection, which in my business is something to be avoided at all costs.
Because presumably the director and cameraman want to beat the rush hour traffic just like everybody else...
On the niche he fills...
I satisfy a need these men have. I remember the Friday nights at home alone, without female companionship. Make no mistake: I make movies for men to masturbate to. I understand that.
See kids, here Lexington is displaying an understanding of what in the business world is known as "consumer demographics." If he did not have a business degree from Syracuse University he might not have known this. So study hard and stay in school! Remember kids, school first, porn second.
Lex tells us something shocking which no one outside the porn industry ever would have imagined...
I'll be honest with you man: there is rampant drug use in this game!
Thanks Lex.
Lexington Steele answers questions about his religious beliefs
Yes, I am religious. I am Christian: Baptist. I grew up in as close to a Cosby-show lifestyle as you can get. Doing porno, on a repeated basis, I am committing adultery; I'm not married, so I'm fornicating for a living; I'm paid to have sex, which means what? I'm prostituting by definition. These are things I have to reckon with with my God on a daily basis. I knowingly do these things.
My decision to do porno has forced me to take my religion within: because of my job I am stronger in my relationship with God, because now I take God with me everywhere I go; if I don't, I'll fail! I didn't know that god blessed me with an abnormally large penis that allows me to make porno. But I feel blessed. I believe I am blessed because I am meant to please one woman for the rest of our lives together. True, I haven't met her yet.
You hear that? If you're going to have sex on a golf course in Budapest with a girl whose ass is on fire, take God with you because if you don't, you'll fail!
How he told his mother what he does...
I had to sit her down, Thanksgiving, 2000, and explain to her that I'm not the guy you see at 11 o'clock on Cinemax. I'm the guy that people go into the bookstore where people are told not to go on the bad side of town.
Silly Lex. He obviously doesn't know you don't have to to the bad side of town to find those bookstores. All you have to do is drive ten miles in any direction along any stretch of highway in rural Missouri...
I'm that guy on that tape that the guy in the trench coat wants to rent.
See? There's that consumer demographic again. It cannot be stressed enough: STAY IN SCHOOL!
Lexington, an African-American, speaks of what he has accomplished in the adult film industry in spite of some racist attitudes...
Yet I'm a Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) actor and I have 75% of the spoken dialog in the largest, most popular adult movie produced in the year 2000. The film is Westside and it is gaining fame internationally as a B-movie. The year before that I'm performer of the year and take home the "Best Anal Sex Scene" award.
And just think, when he was performing that Best Anal Sex Scene, he took God there with him. If he hadn't, he'd have failed!
Excerpted from shop-talk about nutrition supplements:
One of the supplements I use is Tribulus [Tribulus Terrestris]. It increases my penis' sensitivity. It makes you feel like you have no skin on your penis!
Yeah, Hellraiser was my favorite porn too...
Lex on Family Values...
In no way would I recommend this job to my best-friend, let alone my children. Every day in this business you must decide to risk your life. When I came into this business in '98, 5 women were infected with HIV from one guy. It was a scary time. I would positively forbid my daughter from working in this industry.
Aw... I'll bet he supports his local Boys & Girls Club of America, too! Isn't it nice to know you can be a self-admitted prostitute and still be a hypocrite?
There is a measure of self-respect a sex performer gives away every single time he or she is on camera.
Don't be fooled. Dentists and aerospace engineers also give away self-respect at their jobs, they just don't talk about it as much.
Does being a porn star make his love life more difficult?
Very much so. You know a lot of women who recognize me from my films want to be with me. But my thing is, Hey, I do porno. Why do these women who aren't involved in the business want to have sex with me? Why do they want to knowingly risk their lives? I'm not attracted to those women
Fortunately, all he has to do is show them the herpes on the back of his hand and that scares them off! HuzzaH!
Anyway, take that and do with it what you will. Now that I've wasted an hour posting this I think I'll surf the net for something nice and wholesome... like a Google image search on gastric bypass surgery. Yum...
