The famous British porn actor Christopher Seidscheg spoke frankly about the other side of his profession. Having worked in the sex industry for over ten years, the man acquired not only physical but also psychological trauma.
Christopher Seidscheg is known in the porn industry under the pseudonym Danny Wilde. The actor has a ten-year career and more than 600 films for adults. However, contrary to stereotypes that a man with such a profession has a fabulously wonderful life, years of working in porn turned into big problems for Zaidscheg.
In particular, a series of sex filming led to the fact that the Briton ditched his main "tool" for earning money, writes The Independent. The fact is that to maintain "alertness" on the set, the actor "got hooked" on drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. As the newspaper notes, this is a fairly common problem in the sex industry.
As Zaydscheg himself admits, the addiction was rather psychological. The actor began to get anxious if he had not taken Viagra for some time, or drank it before a date, even if it was not necessary.
As a result, during his work in porn, Zaidscheg ended up in the hospital three times due to priapism - a prolonged, painful erection of the penis, which is not associated with sexual arousal. After the doctor told the man that he was threatened with impotence, he decided to leave porn forever.
There is room for discrimination in the adult film industry as well, Zaydscheg said. For example, actors who appear in both homosexual and heterosexual scenes do not inspire credibility among directors, receiving the shameful stigma of "crossover". The fact is that during the filming of videos about same-sex love, actors often do not use condoms, unlike their vigilant colleagues from "traditional" porn.
Zaydscheg also talked about how men in strawberries earn less than women. Typically, actors of both genders receive about a thousand dollars for filming in a traditional sex scene. However, women can earn much more if they are required to have some additional skills or participation in exotic things.
