TheRealManuelFerrara67 karma
fuck! i don't know man. those things happen on the moment, it wasn't planed, it was there. we always had great chemistry and would push each others limits
TheRealManuelFerrara49 karma
thank you all for coming tonight, i will try do this once a month. you can talk to me on twitter @manuelferrara good night
Lilspumone44 karma
I love you because you know how to love women perfectly. Women are all so different, but it seems you are in tune with each individual when you perform and know how to please her while getting pleasure yourself. I wish you would write a book of all you know about sex, so that we could teach our men, lol. Seriously...have you ever considered it?
TheRealManuelFerrara27 karma
thank you, i started a blog on tumbler which i really need to epdate btw
Lilspumone9 karma
I thoroughly enjoy reading it and look forward to hearing more from you!
jonny_nutsack32 karma
I'm a dude and I like you way better than James deen. That guy is a tool!
TheRealManuelFerrara50 karma
hahaha he's actually a nice kid. we all have different taste. thank you for the compliment
benderser26 karma
Where you really asked before James Deen to do the Farrah Abraham movie?
mypornoaccount27725 karma
How did that cop-themed oiled up 5-way scene feel - in particular the bit where they surrounded your head with their asses? Fun, or "I might suffocate here"?
TheRealManuelFerrara35 karma
this was probably one of my top 5 favorite scenes ever, thanks to chris streams
wantsumfuc20 karma
Out of the stars that you know personally, how many of them are married or have significant others? And how would you or someone bring that up to someone the first time you meet them?
TheRealManuelFerrara87 karma
i dont't know how many exactly but a lot. it's never easy bringing that up on a first date. what i can tell you is once i was on a date with a non porn girl who didn't know i was in porn and a fan came to ask me an autograph saying how much he likes evil anal
looperjoe20 karma
Any comments on the whole Duke Porn star Belle Knox situation?
Many pornstars seem to be annoyed by her on twitter.
TheRealManuelFerrara51 karma
people say she's smart others don't agree. i don't know her but what a great PR stunt. good for her
TheRealManuelFerrara52 karma
she is flawless, her look, her intelligence but more than anything she is a good person
pkanmag8 karma
As I guy I can honestly say I enjoy watching you or Rocco or Mandingo "act".
TheRealManuelFerrara69 karma
very short hahaha i think i was 2 inches away from penetrating the girl when i came
hurrah_eros16 karma
What is your exercise routine like? I'm in awe of how long you seem to be able to jackhammer your costars hard without getting tired or finishing.
ChocolateBull16 karma
Do you still get nervous when you talk to an attractive woman for the first time/ do you have a type of woman that you're attracted to?
cclmfca14 karma
I am sure you miss your friends/family in France. Do you plan on moving back there one day? Have you pondered possibly raising your kids on both continents?
TheRealManuelFerrara25 karma
i always miss them, but this is where i live now. i visit often though
Farn13 karma
She's the one who did an AMA a while ago, mentioning you had a kid together, correct?
EDIT: Just checked, and yes she was.
Shadowhost9 karma
Wow, She is pretty cute. In terms of co-workers where does Eva Angelina rank (she is freaking stunning)
wantsumfuc14 karma
In your videos you make sex seem so intimate with whoever your fucking. How do you separate sex and making love when it come to your personal life? And have you experienced a girl faking it with you, off camera of course?
TheRealManuelFerrara43 karma
never a woman ever faked with me!!! hahaha yeah right i wish! it's not always easy to tell. i like to think that i'm good at what i do but it's not my place to say it. only the girl should. very easy to sperate both
bigdaddy032913 karma
As a straight male I thank you for doing it right.
My question is, what's a hobbyist basketball player? And off that, do you have a day job?
TheRealManuelFerrara58 karma
it means basket ball is my hobby. my day job is to have sex with women, lots of them
bigdaddy032913 karma
That's awesome, you're my closet hero ( I'd never admit to anyone irl that you are)
UrbanPattinson13 karma
So, Kayden says she has quit porn, cause of your jealousy? Will you ever quit porn for her?
HamSete12 karma
What do you do to last so long? It seems like you've come a long way from your comment about your 'first time'.
TheRealManuelFerrara29 karma
it's like working out, the more you do the better you get at it. i still have days where i'm more sensitive than others and really have a hard time holding it
looperjoe12 karma
Juding by your twitter you are a big UFC fan, have you ever been to any UFC events? Who are your favourite fighters? Any favourite fights?
TheRealManuelFerrara46 karma
huge UFC fan. favorite all time of course anderson silva. favorite fight... too many good ones, probably the one where dan henderson shut michael bisping's mouth
littleladylovelylo10 karma
How do explain your work to your children? How will you react if they grow up and want to do porn as well?
TheRealManuelFerrara25 karma
they are young so i have time before i have to. it will be hard parents always want better for their kids than what they have. porn brought o my life so many things i wouldn't have dreamed of when i was young. if you do it in an healthy way and are good in your head, why not
TheRealManuelFerrara16 karma
it all depends on the girl. that's what i love women are all so different
TheRealManuelFerrara24 karma
it should be more open, but most directors, including me don't want to gamble on a new guy. i respect rocco siffredi for trying a lot of new guys, he took a chance with me and look at me now
looperjoe8 karma
I think the best performers working today are Pierre Woodman, James Deen, Rocco Siffredi and you.
You are awesome. My question is, do you have sex with other girls off set besides your girlfriend Kayden Kross?
TheRealManuelFerrara20 karma
thank you. no we are not swingers plus when you work as much as i do no need to
RandomChick1237 karma
Any big difference between the way American girls and the way French girls perform?
mrsgillock7 karma
Have you ever seriously considered retirement -- and if so, what do you envision your life to be like after porn? Wait a sec -- is there life after porn?
TheRealManuelFerrara17 karma
i will probably just retire in the old porn stars cementary. nah, i will keep on directing my movies.
wantsumfuc6 karma
Was there anything in particular that made you want to start acting or was there just an opportunity and you capitalized on it?
TheRealManuelFerrara22 karma
like millions of others i was a big time porn fan jerking off 15 times day. i think i was meant to do it.
wantsumfuc9 karma
In that case who should I talk to, so I can end up on one of those couches. Lol
TheRealManuelFerrara8 karma
porn? all the buttman, rocco's, christoph clark's, john leslie's... old school evil angel
TheRealManuelFerrara29 karma
porn is pretty fucking clean man. we get tested every 14 days. all the latest hiv cases were blown up by the media but those people go it outside of porn and were put in quarantine before anyone else got it.
more_pron5 karma
I read somewhere you have phimosis, what's that like and have you tried to correct it? I heard steroid creams can help fix it.
erik26905 karma
Just wanted to say RAW is great. I know you are busy, but any chance of a podcast or something with you and Kayden? I remember it being mentioned a while back.
CAJoekickass5 karma
Has it ever been weird having your ex-wife as your director sometimes?
TheRealManuelFerrara8 karma
we are very good friends and also a great director, it's an honor for me to be directed by anyone that has this much passion for porn, which is rare these days
TheRealManuelFerrara14 karma
i dont have any (cough cough) i have a very addictive personnality, i do everything i like with excess. so no drugs or alcohol for me but food and sport
TheRealManuelFerrara8 karma
i did a casting in france. i wrote a blog on tumbler where you can get all the details of it if you want
battierpeeler5 karma
where do you ball at? i'm a casual player at the LA fitnesses in LA area. you might have heard of me. (you definitely haven't heard of me)
do you have enough saved up to retire with no worries if you wanted to? (not asking for specifics. just wondering if you are saving or blowing through it)
thanks for being you and doing what you do.
bonus: this was cool https://twitter.com/manuelferrara/status/195386604087545856
TheRealManuelFerrara5 karma
i play at healthclub 360, great people there. let's just say i'm doing good. thank you
blindado94 karma
Do you ever get jealous watching Kayden get nailed by another man? Does she ever get jealous watching you with other women? If not, how do you separate your relationship from the business of porn?
rburkett26324 karma
Another question- Where do you think the industry is headed in the next couple of years. With all the issues of piracy which have been well publicized and measure B further inconveniencing production. do you see the industry leaving the valley/radically changing the way people consume porn?
TheRealManuelFerrara11 karma
it's very hard to tell right now, hopefully it will turn for the better. what i can tell you is dvd is seeing its last days and only the ones that adapt to the new technology will survive
pointblankperiod3 karma
Good evening! Thanks for doing this!
When anticipating coming into work for the day or doing a scene do you feel particularly "aroused/excited" at the thought, before even getting there or getting started? or is just like getting ready to clock in, I.e.no pre-arousal?
TheRealManuelFerrara11 karma
its not like clocking in but after 17 years youre use to it and still happy to be there
Yuuuppp3 karma
Thanks for being here! My boyfriend and I thank you for broadening our sexual horizons. :) Love the RAW series! Keep up the good work.
What was your favorite thing to do as a kid? Also, when I go to Paris, what should I do... besides the typical touristy stuff?
TheRealManuelFerrara6 karma
thank you guys. i grew up doing judo, as a kid that was a real passion for me. there is so many good places and restaurants in paris it's hard to tell. the sacred heart neiborhood ( montmartre) is very nice, there is a tiny salvator dali museum there that i love.
Yuuuppp3 karma
Thank you! I will definitely check out the museum. Big fan of Dali... I have Lincoln in Dalivision in my living room.
Ambassador_throwaway3 karma
What is one sex parody of an actual film/TV series you would love to direct and/or star in?
erik26909 karma
Over the years Manuel has made it clear he dislikes porn parodies quite a bit.
xDIRTYDALEx3 karma
If there was ever a female movie star that crossed over into the adult film business, who would you want it to be so you could work with them? Personally, I'd love to see you doing girls like Keira Knightley, Kate Beckinsale and Milla Jovovich but of course that would never actually happen unfortunately.
TheRealManuelFerrara23 karma
all good ones thanks, maybe scarlet johanson would be a good one too, but so many of them really
MainMan1233 karma
Btw Raw 6 is one of your best overall.
Do you enjoy working with Jynx Maze? Her anal skills are amazing.
Also, Valentina Nappi is cool.
TheRealManuelFerrara5 karma
3 french, english, spanish. use to be ok with italian and german but a lack of practice made me lose a lot
CookieCrispWizard3 karma
Hello Mr. Ferrara, I have two questions. I am interested in the producing/directing fields, so..
1. How does one get started in the adult film industry in those two fields?
2 Is it possible that you can get me a date/ skype chat with Kennedy Leigh or Riley Reid? http://i.imgur.com/8CXMeHv.jpg
TheRealManuelFerrara17 karma
to produce you need money. and no i can't get you a date with those girls but good try
Bromidy3 karma
What is your favorite dirty talk to say to a girl when you are having sex with her?
TheRealManuelFerrara25 karma
probably what a good little whore she is. the weird thing is i could never say that to a woman else where than while im fucking... ...or driving
guitarnoir3 karma
Have you worked with Trinty Saint Claire, yet. If so is she as nice as her screen persona?
rburkett26323 karma
Hey Manuel, thanks for doing this AMA. I have always been curious since you've been in the industry for so long if there are any performers who surprised you. Did anyone come on set all shy and then turn out to be a sexual animal and vice versa? Is there anyone that sticks out in your mind?
TheRealManuelFerrara7 karma
yes it always happens which is very nice. yesterday i did a scene with a girl and she was allergic to prtty much everything which made the scene interesting and a little weird. ( couldnt use certain lube, or baby wipes...)
rburkett26322 karma
I guess I hadn't really thought of that. Are you allergic to anything yourself? I know some people can develop allergies over time. Are you ever concerned you'll become intolerant of some kinds of material?
TheRealManuelFerrara6 karma
hahaha none, but her and her boyfriend are fans and really cool people
pointblankperiod3 karma
What do you look for in a woman? However you feeling like answering;looks?, personality?, sexuality? etc. ... & do you think you do better scenes with the ones that are more your type?
TheRealManuelFerrara6 karma
i always do better scenes with girls who are real. no phony sex, regardless on how she looks like
looperjoe3 karma
How do you choose the girls for your RAW series? It seems like a lot of porn girls who request to be in the series on twitter are ignored.
LOVE the RAW series btw. Please do it more often.
TheRealManuelFerrara9 karma
well i can only book so many, but i always keep in mind the ones that answer. mostly i book them because i worked with them in the passed, or because they were recommanded by people in the industry or fans, and also the ones i jerked off to
MainMan1232 karma
Do you remember this girl Toni Sweets? You had her in one of your movies, Phat Bottom Girls?
Man, her body was insane!
pfelon2 karma
What are your thoughts on the Prop B condom legislation and its effect on Los Angeles area adult industry?
TheRealManuelFerrara7 karma
i can't agree with anything that's forced upon people, that said i did my three first years in the industry condom only. this would not change anything for me
nafrojax2 karma
What kind of girls did you date or just hook up with before you were in porn?
TheRealManuelFerrara11 karma
they just have to be real, i also love the contact, to be as close as possible to that person. sometimes it can't never be close enough
filthy_dwarf2 karma
Is there any times that you say i'm not in mood for sex but you have to do it because is your job?
sardove12 karma
What is considered cheating for you in a relationship, considering you have sex for a living?
TheDorkKnight892 karma
how many pornos do you shoot in a typical day? Like do you have to cum for five (or more) different scenes?
TheRealManuelFerrara3 karma
i don't do multiple scenes in a day anymore. one scene a day is what i do, so they're all the best i can give. i use to do 2 sometimes 3 a day
fortunato072 karma
Congrats to you and Kayden on your new addition. I'm a huge fan of Michelle Wild. I know she retired nearly 10 years ago but it appears you worked with her one time in "Euro Girls Never Say No" with Steve Holmes. I know it was many years and many a woman ago, but can you tell me anything about Michelle as a performer and a person? I can't get enough of this girl.
TheRealManuelFerrara4 karma
she was such a great person to meet. she was real and really enjoy fucking, which for eastern european girls is not always the case.
rheethink1 karma
What is your favorite part about being a new father? Any interesting challenges and/or joys?
TheRealManuelFerrara4 karma
how about loving a being more that you could love yourself? nothing better than this feeling, you come home and you forget about everything else in the world
MainMan1231 karma
Are there any girls you haven't had a chance to work with as of yet and you want to? Who are they?
TheRealManuelFerrara3 karma
being a huge fan of porn, i wish i could bring back the ones i was fan of ( dragixa, julia chanel, dalila, tracy adams... so many others)
Soniiacupcake1 karma
As-tu deja visiter le canada? en partie le quebec? Y tourner serait bien non?
TheRealManuelFerrara2 karma
wow, so many good scenes. the concept itself makes it good pretty much with all of them
ligiapl1 karma
Hello Manuel. I'm a fan of you and Kayden :) What was the last movie you've done together?
bazO_okaJoe1 karma
Have you ever found yourself having any off screen hookups bc the passion was undeniable when the cameras were rolling?
corneliusofdark1 karma
Just wondering what are your favorite movies (not porn-related) as of the moment?
And do you like comic books? Have you read Le Transperceneige a.k.a Snowpiercer by Jacques Lob?
TheRealManuelFerrara4 karma
i have a lot of favorite movies. i'm a big fan of jean pierre jeunet (amelie, delicatessen...) but also love corean movie like " i saw the devil", "old boy"... and other genre
NoCookies4U1 karma
What makes you feel alive, Manuel Ferrara? And I am not talking "Ohh I like to hang out with friends derp," I mean ALIVE, man!
I pick badass music and the rare fantastic story, usually involving people connecting at some meaningful level beyond the derp.
TheRealManuelFerrara5 karma
believe it or not, since i'm in a relationship with kayden kross i've never felt more alive and in tune with anyone else ever
tipsjt1 karma
when you are in a relationship with someone how do they fell about you doing porn ?
TheRealManuelFerrara4 karma
it can go so many different ways. i'm lucky now to be with someone who really understand me.
corneliusofdark1 karma
Good day! I was wondering if you are involved in any independent film that is not porno?
TheRealManuelFerrara5 karma
there is a great movie called "starlet" you can watch it on netflix
TheRealManuelFerrara4 karma
of course not everything always goes according to the plan, but overal such a great business to be in
pamplemousser1 karma
Je t'aime, Manuel!!! What's one thing you think the adult film industry is missing right now?
nafrojax1 karma
How can someone stay mentally stimulated/challenged as a porn actor/actress?
TheRealManuelFerrara1 karma
you change parteners every day, what is not stimulating about that? also your sexually changes through the years
DaLittleGee53 karma
Do you remember that scene you did with Kristina Rose? Where at the end where you proceeded to flush her head down the toilet while giving her anal penatration. My question is... what was going through your head when flushing her head down a toilet?
