​Porn star reveals the diet that helps him maintain long erection on sets

The question has popped in our minds at least once in our lifetime: How do male porn stars maintain such a long and hard erection to last the entire one-hour long porn movie? And if you like to be more realistic, an hour-long movie takes multiple hours to shoot. So, how on Earth is it possible to stay hard for hours and hours on? Well, we have the answer now.

​Staying hard is a challenge that most porn stars face

STAYING HARD IS A CHALLENGE THAT MOST PORN STARS FACE: Peter North told a men's health website which wanted to study about the subject, "Everyone thinks it would be so easy to stay hard on set and it’s not easy at all." In fact, it is very common for male porn stars to suffer from erection problems. “There's the lack of intimacy or chemistry with a partner, the film crew, the pressure to achieve erection on cue, maintaining an erection during still photographs, etc... So most male performers experience a 'failed' scene early on in their career/ Too many failed scenes will ruin a performer's reputation," Christopher Zeischegg, who is a former porn star, told the website.

​Pills to the rescue

PILLS TO THE RESCUE: Most of the male stars use medication, such as Viagra and Cialis and even injections, so that they stay aroused on the sets. Many porn stars have even got penis pumps implanted. Pills can make a penis look flushed, but more often than not, the actors don't have an option other than to pop a pill before the shoot.

​The harms of pills

THE HARMS OF PILLS: Cialis and/or Viagra may not pose a threat if they are taken in appropriate dosage and under certain medical conditions. However, long term usage can be crippling in many ways. It can lead to chest pain, frequent nausea, a general sense of being unfit, irregular heart pulse, vision problems and sudden vision loss, hearing problems and sudden hearing loss.

​A testimony to the harms of pills

A TESTIMONY TO THE HARMS OF PILLS: Christopher Zeischegg told the website that he had a very terrible experience with the drug Cialis. He took it for long eight years and ended up in emergency thrice for the problem of priapism, a penis erection problem in which it continues to stay hard hours after stimulation has ended. In fact, he said that if he had continued taking that pill, he could have risked his natural ability to get erection.

​This porn star thinks it's all about fitness and he follows this diet

THIS PORN STAR THINKS IT'S ALL ABOUT FITNESS AND HE FOLLOWS THIS DIET: Aaron Thompson, aka Small Hands, says that it's all about being fit. He said that he follows Paleo Diet and works out every day. He stays hydrated and sleeps in time if he has to perform the following day. He believes that all men should focus on their diet and fitness regime and that’s it.

​What is Paleo Diet?

WHAT IS PALEO DIET? Paleo or Paleolithic diet is a fad diet that believes in the predominant consumption of foods that were consumed in the Paleolithic era, foods that could be procured by hunting or gathering. The foods include: greens, regional vegetables, nuts, fish, meats and seeds. It basically restricts processed and modern day foods.

​It's also about where you focus

IT'S ALSO ABOUT WHERE YOU FOCUS: Thompson told the website, “Nothing else matters in that moment: not rent, not traffic, not the dog pee on the carpet that you're gonna have to clean when you get home, not how many followers on IG you have, nada… By becoming truly obsessed and immersed with what’s happening in front of me, I become truly obsessed and immersed with my partner for the scene. That works 95% of the time.”

9/9

​Masturbation may help

MASTURBATION MAY HELP: Thompson says that men start masturbating in their teenage years and they can easily control when they masturbate and get hard and when they don't. He compares it to snowboarding and says that if you know when to break the edge of the snowboard and when to stop, it will make you perform better.
