I am Ryan James, Australian adult film actor and male escort, in the middle of shooting porn. AMA.

Ever had a tax audit conducted on you? Do you take any performance enhancing drugs? Could you get the actress to slip in a reference to 'greasythug' during the shoot? What are your thoughts on the U.S Government shut down and international implications?

Just for you..

That was pretty damn cool of you to do that.

Madison stealing this AMA in 3, 2, 1...

Seeing as I get to do scenes with her, she can steal whatever she wants.

Are your parents supportive?

My parents don't know.

What do they think you do?

I have a day job as well.

Obvious question, how big is the package? And how can a slightly overweight guy get into the male escort business.

8 inches.

Honestly, just put an ad up. There's a market for everyone. It how successful you are depends on you. It's up to you what you do about your weight but personality, hygiene, ability to hold a conversation and some skill in the bedroom are all hugely important.

Madison Missina, she's another Aussie pornstar!

Check her out on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MadisonMissina

what would you be doing for a living if you weren't sexing on film for money?

I'd be doing what I'm already doing - working as a personal trainer.

Do your clients know you working in adult films?

Some of them know I have something to do with the industry. My clients are generally grown ups who see it as just another industry.

Have any of your gym clients recognized you (and admitted to it)?

If so, did they just stare intently until they made sure, said something along the lines of "hey, loved your work" or do they ever ask for non-workout training advice?

edit: also, did you ever play in a porn where the pseudo-plot is that you play a personal trainer (I saw multiple flicks with that angle. Seems to be the new dick in a box).

Not yet. I've only gotten into porn recently so that hasn't happened... Yet.

Haven't played a PT yet but I plan on doing it soon! I might get carried away though, forget I'm on set and end up making them do an intense hour long workout.

1. Do you hope to one day transition to mainstream/non-porn movies?

2. Did you draw the Reddit alien or did a fluffer do it?

No, I have terrible acting skills and zero desire for fame.

I guess you could say the fluffier did it - I drew it with my hand.

Do you have a girlfriend? If not, then what if you meet a really cool chick and how will you introduce yourself to her? Will you hide the fact you are doing porn? And also your co-star is smokin' hot. That is all

I'd be open and upfront about it. I know from past experience it wouldn't cause problems. I also know of many other people in the industry with successful relationships.

I see. thanks for answering my question. To be honest, I have a different view of how pornstars live their lives in the real world. Like i thought you can just mingle with people in the same industry.

Good luck with your career. You seem like a pretty cool guy

Thanks.

Both happen. Some people date within the industry, some don't. Some do both.

Both male and female in relationships? How do they say they work around it?

Yes, both male and female.

They don't "work around it."

It's just another part of their lives.

What is your favourite non adult film?

I'm a big fan of Watchmen. Sadly, no one else I know seems to like it as much as I do.

watchmen was heavy, people don't like films that rustle their jimmies

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

do you ever wonder whether you are helping the world celebrate women, or objectify them further?

I would rather celebrate women then objectify them so I make an effort to have that come across in the prob that I do.

I'm also trying to get involved in the more sensual, intimate style of porn that is about a couple enjoying themselves rather than a woman being fucked senseless.

Edit: changed then to than.

What is your favorite mythical creature and why?

A horse sized duck.

Edit: Because quack quack.

Does your parents/family/friends know that you're working in porn?

Most of my friends know. None of my relatives do.

Is the porn industry in Australia quite small?

Compared to the US it's tiny. It's growing though and we have produced a number of international stars.

Could you say it's tiny, but growing in members? ^{I'll see myself out..}

Sorry? Just because our industry is small doesn't mean we don't know what to do with it.

How much testing are you/other actors expected to undergo before shooting?

We all get tested in the weeks leading up to a shoot and check each other's results.

What was your favorite movie to shoot? Also just Googled Madison Missina, Wow!

I couldn't say, it's honestly too hard to choose between.

Call your doctor if it lasts longer than 4 hours.

It's only priapism in the absence of stimulation.

Are you circumcised?

Yes.

Do you have any idea of a ratio of circumcised to uncircumcised or are you not in the habit of looking at other guys junk?

No idea of the ratio, I do know the number of circumcised men in Australia is fairly high.

Of course!

You're a pretty eloquent dude. Maybe Sydneysiders aren't inbred hicks after all.

• Melbourne.

I've seen the Sydneysiders you're referring to. In some cases it's a well deserved stereotype.

So do you get recognised often? Are you able to afford inner-city housing (since the housing bubble continues to grow and prices are relentless)? Where do you usually film, does it vary?

I've only been in the adult industry for a year so haven't been recognized yet that I know of.

Still renting at the moment, fairly close to the CBD. Looking to buy soon!

Filming locations vary considerably!

What do you think about marriage in the porn industry?

Exactly the same as I feel about marriage between anyone else - that it's between two consenting adults and anything else is irrelevant.

How much you squat bro

400 lbs. How much you deadlift bro?

what exactly is an escort & what did you do when you were one?

I still am one. It's basically a fancy name for prostitute.

How much do you have to weigh to be considered a BBW?

Not a clue.

How did you bag your first role in a porn movie? Did working as an escort help get your name out within the industry? Did you have to audition etc?

It was mainly through knowing the right people - my costar in the proof pic was a huge help.

The escorting helped as well, mainly in that it showed I was serious about it and knew what I was doing. Porn producers get emails all the time from guys who think they can do porn. It's a lot harder than most people think.

I didn't have to audition. Thankfully I did well so got called back for the next one!

Cheers! So like most other industries, contacts and networking are also key.. gotcha

Absolutely - contacts and networking play a huge part. But unlike many other industries, you can't fake it once you're in.

The women working in the industry, however, are much more skilled at the faking.

What? You mean they're orgasms aren't real? I've been living a lie...

Have you ever been concerned about your parents just happening to stumble across your twitter page and find out what you do?

Not really. They don't know but I've accepted they'll find out someday. I don't really feel awkward about it, I'll just explain it to them when it comes up.

How much do you get paid if you don't mind me asking?

That's one thing I can't say!

If it wasn't lucrative, would you still do it? Or do you enjoy your work enough, you would continue to do it for less?

It's a surprisingly rewarding job so I would probably keep doing it as long as it continued to help pay the bills.

How did you get involved in this industry?

I did some photoshoots and started working as a topless waiter. From there it naturally progressed to stripping, escorting and porn.

Well that escalated as can be expected.

Well that escalated in a reasonable pace.

Well I couldn't just stop at waiter, could I?

Have you done any gay porn, I heard that men in the industry has to do this in order to proceed get better "roles" and pay. If so, what did you like about it?

No, I haven't done gay porn.

Would you consider doing it if asked, or just flat out refuse?

I wouldn't consider it, it's just not my thing.

Do you want to ;)?

If I wanted to I wouldn't be doing straight porn.

how hard is work in porn bussines?

Depends which part you're talking about. Getting into porn, the physical side of performing etc.

mostly about physical side. is it hard to be ready when director needs you? and how long are you shooting (maybe something like 1h movie)?

It's very physically demanding. Outside of porn I have fantastic sexual control. I can get hard on demand, come within a minute or last for over an hour.

In porn it's hard to stay hard as it's just not a very sexual environment. It can also be hard to come on demand.

A 20 minute scene can take anywhere from 20 minutes as one continuous take up to a few hours. It depends on the actors, director (if there is one), style of porn and how much difficulty the guy has staying erect/coming.

1) Are FLUFFERS a real thing?

3) What exactly do Fluffers do?

2) How are the fluffers today?

Not as far as I know!

On average, how many bags of chips do you eat daily? Be honest.

Are we talking small bags or family sized bags here?

Small bags!

Probable average about half a small bag a week. When I do eat them, it tends to be an entire large bag in one sitting though.

Wait, so what do you do?

I work as an escort and appear in porn films.

Do you have mommy issues?

Would it make you feel better if I said I did?

Maybe you should be fucking and not on reddit. Makes sense to me.

Why would that be?
