“It was just, come back here, here’s the studio, get naked. I’d never been naked in front of anybody other than me and a girlfriend. when you have three or four people with cameras, it’s pretty nerve-racking. Pretty much just like jerking off at home is what it turned out to be.”Ĭurtis was emphatic that he would not do a sex scene. But soon enough, the chance to make even more money became too enticing. “I thought about it a bit, experimented at home and was like, well that ain’t too bad, I can do that and come back with a pocketful of money, that’d be great. “They let me top the first sex scene I did just to ease me into it. They’re not doing that much any more.”Ĭurtis’ experience may sound extreme, but it’s a common phenomenon. At least half of all male gay porn stars identify as straight, according to Charlie David, a director from Montreal, Canada, who’s made a documentary on the subject.
