You, too, can be a male porn star! All you need is some Viagra to give you the stamina for a five-scene workday on the set.
As if. Five scenes in a whole day? That's it?
How could you keep form walking around the set doing your best three-legged stool imitation constantly?

jpoulos, thanks for clarifying. I'm sure this story would have been bigger news if Viagra could turn women into male porn stars!

I once saw an interview with Ron Jeremy where he pointed out that the hardest part of becoming a pr0n star is psychological. It's one thing to be a superior cocksman in the privacy of your own home or a hotel; it's quite another to perform in front of a film crew that sometimes numbers into the dozens, while taking direction and coaching, dealing with light and sound guys, the occasional camera reload, the stills guy popping off flashbulbs as soon as the director yells cut, the other actors and actresses prepping for their scenes, etc.
Hell, man, I shoo the cat out :)

. . . and the requisite porn guy moustache, of course. (see, e.g., Ron Jeremy, supra)

What if you get your Viagra, you grow your moustache, but some... shortcomings still remain?

Best line of this story?
The last one:
"One result of this harsh Darwinism was that actors who could perform like Superman were often a far cry from looking like Christopher Reeve. "
Well, that's just super. . . man.

The ultimate porn guy moustache was the one that lived on the lip of Harry Reems. (No picture. I couldn't find a picture of him that wasn't pr0n, and I'm at work.)
Also, while we're on the subject, I'd like to take a quick poll. I was with a good friend of mine recently (a woman) and saw a dead ringer for Ron Jeremy walking down the street. She had never heard of him. How many here, whether you've seen his body (of work) or not, know who Ron Jeremy is?

well, I do now, but I wouldn't have know that he was a porn star if I hadn't read this thread.

ron jeremy has been in the following non-pr0n films:
Reindeer Games
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part 4
Detroit Rock City
Boondock Saints (o_O)
Ronin
54
Orgazmo
George Wallace
Red Line
Caged Heat 3000
Dracula
Killing Zoe (o_O again)
...
ok, i can't sift thru the movies anymore, i got to 300 and my fingers cramped up.
the man has started in over 1000 porn films, directed over 85 films (blue and regular), was a consultant for Boogie Nights, 52 Pick-Up and Nine 1/2 Weeks.
most notable TV appearances, 'Just Shoot Me', 'Nash Bridges', 'VS.', 'NewsRadio', and the Jerry Springer episode 'I slept with 251 Men in 10 Hours'.
ron jeremy, indeed the most hardest working man in show business.

Viagra's revenues continue to grow at a 30+% annual rate... I thought aging Boomers were the reason (Ron Jeremy is an aging Boomer come to think of it).

Think of all the poor fluffers that Viagra has put out of work. And where are they going to go with a resume like that?

i was talking to my mom the other day about how i saw a ron jeremy movie.
she was all appalled, but it was practically the funniest damn thing i'd ever seen. that night.
he sucked his own... well, you know.
those poor women on the receiving end.
(and for those of you who may just skim, NO i did not watch a ron jeremy movie with my mom. i was just talking about how he came to town a few weeks ago and grabbed my coworker's boob.)
