A Surprising Behind-The-Scenes Look At Working For Sean Cody

From the oil feuling your car to your hip, slutty clothes, it seems like there's an evil corporation behind everything these days. Burgeoning pornstar Devon Hunter brings us this fascinating look at what sucks about working for Sean Cody.

Devon started in porn in early 2009 with a solo scene for Sean Cody working under the name Ryan. He graduated onto his first hardcore scene a month later, bottoming for the gay-for-pay Sean Cody model Fuller, and has since gone on to do work for COLT and Hot House Backroom. Earlier this week he released the first of a three-part series of blog posts about how gay porn studios work, how their projects are filmed, and the work that the performers do on set. Apparently it's a lot harder than it looks.

The post is absolutely fascinating and really, very well written. We suggest anyone who's ever considered working in the adult industry or who's merely curious about it's inner workings go to his site and read the whole thing. But it's also pretty long. Here are some highlights:

On the perks of being a pornstar:

I will give Sean Cody this much: They absolutely go all out on travel, lodging, food, and general pampering off set. When I had some incredible airport drama they were right there helping me get the flights I needed. I was to be chauffeured in a limousine, and when my flight got redirected from San Diego to Orange County they sent the limousine 100 miles north to pick me up and drive me comfortably back to San Diego.

On the movie magic behind gay-for-pay pornstars:

And this is something you need to know about working with straight models: They can stay hard for about 30 seconds to a minute. By the time they get it up, they're already going down. Editing makes everything look sequential and immediate, but that is an abject fallacy. "How can they be straight if they can fuck/be fucked for a 20 minute video?" Because each take is so short that what you are seeing is them being portrayed as gay-for-pay, when in fact they are gay-for-thirty-seconds.

On why bottoming in porn is the way more difficult job:

So, what does all this start and stop mean? …That you have to get hard over 50 times, and (in my case) get penetrated ALOT. We went through over 40 condoms in seven hours. I thought I was going to pass out a few times.

On Sean Cody's stellar track record of hiring a diversity of body types and races:

I'm sorry (and this isn't a jab at Landon, whom I have never met and who is very beautiful), but there isn't really any true diversity at Sean Cody. Landon, as picture perfect as he is, reminds me of the court ordered black model in an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog.

Okay, that last one wasn't much of a shocker, but we thought it was funny! Check out the rest of this piece at his blog. It's a great read.
