Porn Watcher

No, this isn’t about President Bush and the French. It’s about a recent blog entry I posted that sparked an interesting conversation centering on the difference between American and European straight male porn stars. I said I felt the Euro-Studs are less inhibited, less homophobic, and much hotter than their American brethren. Several readers disagreed, saying they thought both groups were roughly the same when it came to sexual attitudes. One reader brought up the wonderful Anabolic gang-bang flicks to illustrate the point that US guys aren’t uncomfortable around each other while naked and fucking. All excellent, well reasoned, intelligent points.

Today, however, I was reading a fascinating interview with one of the Good Ol’ U.S. of A.’s biggest (and I mean that in every sense of the word) straight boy porn studs, Erik Everhard. It was an engaging description of his entrance into adult entertainment, what he loves about fucking for a living, and his current activities. He’s a hot stud, and the interview really supports the rumors I’d read elsewhere that he is a decent, warm, down-to-earth kind of guy. If you’re not sure who Everhard is … well, here’s a few reminders.

Near the end of his interview, Everhard is asked to comment on the very topic I brought up on this blog last month. Here are his thoughts.

Question: How do you think the American performers stack up against the Europeans?
Erik: I would say that there are more consistent performers in Europe right now. There are just more guys willing to step up to the plate. That might be the North American, Bible Belt attitude towards this business. Guys think about the long term stigma here, where in Europe they just jump right in.
Question: Do you think there is a great performance fear here?
Erik: I don’t know. I really can’t relate to that. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never struggled in private so failure has never been a concern for me. I can think of maybe three bad scenes I’ve done, but I have never failed to complete a scene.
Question: How many scenes have you done?
Erik: Around six or seven hundred so far.

I’m not quoting this to try to prove I’m right, or to give a "Nee-der, Nee-der, Nee-der" to those intelligent and insightful readers who wrote in defending American fuck-studs. I just thought it was an interesting side-note to an entertaining discussion we’d been having here.
