CYBERSPACE – When thinking about men in porn, we often limit our focus to one key feature. But men who work as porn performers are far more than just window dressing and pop shots.
In this week’s upcoming Mindbrowse event, we will speak to three top men working in porn today, delving deep into what it’s like to be an integral star in adult entertainment.
“Men of Porn – A Peek Behind The Curtain” is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24 at 3 pm Eastern time (noon Pacific) at MindBrowse.com (http://www.mindbrowse.com).
Sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals, who serves as the moderator for MindBrowse events, comments “During all my years researching adult entertainment, I have found that one group is notoriously overlooked – men. Men performers are integral to adult content production, yet their voices are almost always left out of the conversation. We rarely hear about men’s experiences as workers, their concerns, and the impact their highly visible and stigmatized careers have on their personal lives. I am very excited to engage this conversation with some of the industry’s leading performers!”
Angie Rowntree, Mindbrowse producer and publisher of the award-winning erotic destination site for women and couples, Sssh.com, adds “One thing that I have noticed in my 21 years as a publisher, producer, and director in the adult entertainment industry is that the men are fascinating, creative, and work very hard to create hot and compelling films in their chosen profession.”
Rowntree continued: “The other side of this, however, is that historically, there is relatively little ‘behind the curtain’ coverage of male performers in the media. This episode of Mindbrowse brings together three amazing men for a candid discussion about their experiences in adult as performers and directors.”
The panel for the event consists of Ryan Driller, Steven St. Croix, and Tyler Knight, three of the industry’s leading long-time successful performers and directors. Fans can submit questions to the panel via Twitter at #SexTalkTuesday. Panelists will have the opportunity to address these questions in addition to the questions posed by Tibbals, culled from feedback she has been gathering in anticipation of the event.
Ryan Driller started working in the adult industry in 2008. He stayed under the radar until 2010, when his acting abilities, charisma, and prowess made him a go-to leading man in parodies. Truly a “Superman” in porn!
Steven St. Croix is an author, painter, photographer, director, 11-time Best Actor award winner, and the first male performer signed to an exclusive performance contract (for Vivid Entertainment). St. Croix has over 21 years work experience in the adult entertainment industry.
Tyler Knight is a multiple AVN award-winning 13-year veteran of the adult film industry. He is a recipient of the Good For Her Feminist Porn “Heartthrob of the Year” Award and a former Playgirl spokesmodel. His upcoming memoir is scheduled for publication by Rare Bird Books in Spring, 2016.
The event also will be live-tweeted and streamed at @ssshforwomen under the hashtag #SexTalkTuesday.
