^yeah, but I don't get paid to jerk off. If other people disagree with the criticism, that's fine, but I don't think it's illegitimate to criticize a porn actor's performances.
^Sure, there are other less annoying male porn performers, but Wood is in a lot of scenes with girls I like. I'll still watch a scene even if he's in it. The moaning isn't enough to keep me entirely away from the scene. I'm really more interested to know why he does it. If he needs to do it to stay in the mood and keep his dick hard, then fine, so be it. But if he's doing it just because, then I think he should stop, because I would guess that a majority of fans don't like it. Just check out the comments on his scenes on videobox.
Believe it or not, I've often found porn more watchable and more of a turn on with the sound turned off. It's not just this performer or that performer. These days, there are more obnoxious and distracting sounds in porn than good sounds.
I think Mark Wood does a good job, both as a performer and a director. I purchase many of his films for RLD. I know what I'm getting, and I feel I get my monies worth. A plus always is his behind the scenes interview. He's got a good sense of humor, and his jump shot isn't bad either. I appreciate Mark Wood,...and Mrs Wood.
I like Mark Wood as a performer. His attitude is laid back and he doesn't try to dominate whatever scene he's in. It's all about the ladies being in the lime light anyway right?
You can moan about him all you want, but he is one of the luckiest guys in the business. He's practically been with all the popular girls, even the young one-and-done's. I bet he has a say as to which girl he gets to perform with.
Number 1: Turn off the sound. Number 2: You've seen the girls he gets to fuck. Trust me, if your dick was inside Haley Sweet you'd be screaming like a girl too.
Well good pussy tends to cause that sometimes. I'd much rather listen to a guy moan because he likes it, then watch one who makes no sounds as if he doesn't. I like watching Woods though. He doesn't always try to dominate a girl or scene like so many others do. That alone is much appreciated from me.
I've never quite understood the argument that you should just ignore the guy in the scene. If the guy isn't a factor why isn't all porn just single girl, POV style fucking? I'm not saying he's the focus of your attention, but obviously his actions have some influence on how much you enjoy the scene. If a guy doesn't get wood he doesn't get hired (well actually Wayne Summers managed to work in porn for several years without very many visible erections...). the guy is hired to be sort of a proxy dick- since you're not fucking Jenna Haze, this other guy is doing it. So if the guy is doing something annoying that detracts from that task, it's perfectly valid to criticize it. Interestingly enough, some are praising Wood for being laid back and not dominating a scene, yet the most decorated and in demand performers are ones like Lex Steele and Rocco Siffredi who tend to overpower their female co-stars. Wood has never been a top gun, so to speak and maybe his laid back attitude and girly screams are kind of holding him back...
I can't stand those jerks that have to constantly throat fuck and pin the girl down while fucking. I don't like agressive male performers period. Sometimes the guy will dominate the scene by smothering the girl so much, you don't even hardly see the damn female talent. Nope, I like Mark Wood's style in his scenes. Be a background fixture and let the women shine.
Woods seems about as in-demand as most, and certainly in more demand than many. He works a lot, plus directs his own films. He seems to appear in most of what I generally watch, and I don't pick films by male talent. Only thing that says to me is that he appears to like working with the kind of girls I like watching, and they appear to like him. I can understand people have preferences, but also think people nitpick a little too much sometimes. I choose films by girls first, and always have. Oh there is male talent I try to avoid, and it's usually pretty easy to do....provided they're listed in the cast or box cover. If someone bothers you that much, wouldn't be easier to just avoid their films, or at the very least mute the sound?

I've found the best way to deal with annoying moans, "Droppin Loads" "Get nasty with dat cock" etc is to turn the volume down.
I don't get why Mark Wood's being somewhat passive and making noise isn't just as valid a complaint as a guy being too aggressive. After all, if I have to turn the sound off then I can't hear the girl anymore? What if I enjoy hearing her moan? Isn't that complaint just as valid as a guy playing to the camera too much? And Wood's style of laid back fucking is somewhat soporific, and lackluster. You may like it, but you might also admit it usually doesn't showcase a girl at her most energetic. We all know who Wesley Pipes is, right? His machine gun patter is to me, the most annoying thing I've ever heard. Yet some people love it and he gets cast. The guy gets work frequently and regularly. But I can barely watch a single scene he's in. And while Wood may get plenty of work, he's not "in demand." You rarely see him featured prominently cast wise or as a major selling point. He's a workman stud, which is probably even better in terms of a long career, but that's a group that doesn't stand out. It really all comes down to taste. If you like a girl to be really energetic and fucked hard, Mark Wood's probably not the proxy you should be watching. But most complaints from either side of this are perfectly valid as it's a taste issue.
Well the OP didn't just say he didn't like it, he asked him to stop doing something that apparently happens naturally. Seemed more than a mere complaint to me, which I'm sure most performers get used to either way. Some simply don't agree, or like me, think it's mostly a non-issue. I'm sure guys like Mark are perfectly willing to give up all that hot pussy so as not to annoy certain guys watching. Worked with said Wesley Pipes didn't it.
I moan and wail like a banshee while I'm WATCHING Mark Wood stick his penis inside of the likes of Dakota Brookes, Courtney James, Kara Novak, Ashlynn Brooke, and Tia Tanaka. Imagine what it feels like to be actually doing it, not just masturbating to it. Have a little compassion for the man. He's doing his best. Fucking 18-22 year old girls is a hard job, I'm sure. Yes, it's a very rewarding job, but let's not act like just anyone can do it. Because clearly that is not the case.
I also posted about this several months ago in "The Porn Pool" under the heading "The 10 Things That Are Destroying Porn," it was number 3 on my list. Here's what I said. 3)Men Moaning Louder Than The Women Do:
...The prime example in porn is Mark Wood, this guy moans louder and more often than any woman working in the business, so much so, it has become annoying. I’m sitting down trying to watch a porno and this fuck-face won’t shut his fucking mouth, this crap is terrible and must be stopped. He completely destroys scenes because he moans so loud and so often that I can barely hear the female moaning; what is with this asshole? He is completely selfish and inconsiderate with his fucking antics; I know pussy feels phenomenal but act like a “FUCKING MAN!” You’re not the one being penetrated with an oversized cock, so there should be no reason for you to moan so fucking loud. It is completely appropriate to be annoyed by a man moaning this damn loud. There are guys that post on here that are so obsessed with the idea of being a guy banging females in porn that they will accept anything, or that don't have enough testosterone to know what works in porn and what doesn't. Long live the man's man!
Not to get into a pissing match with you but I'm pretty sure that the last thing on Mark wood's mind when he's banging the hottest girls in porn, you know, the ones you beat off to, is whether or not he is moaning too loud. Again, I apologize but "long live the man's man" sounds incredibly gay.
Well isn't the point of a complaint to get someone to stop doing something? I file a complaint because my neighbor plays his TV too loud. It's a complaint, but the point is to stop the activity. Generally if you're complaining about something, you want it to not continue. It's not like he threatened to boycott films or physical violence. He said Wood should stop on a porn board. That probably qualifies as a simple complaint... And most of porn is fairly unnatural sex. People are always cheating to camera (i.e. moving their bodies in angles to heighten cinematography instead of pleasure), forestalling ejaculation for the duration of filming, moving into positions they might not find pleasurable, hell having sex with people they have no physical attraction to, and essentially doing everything the director asks. So all these things are possible, but Mark Wood who seems to perform every other task asked of him can't stifle a girly shriek? And guys working constantly has far more to do with who can get an erection than any other attribute. Many porn stars could easily be classified as grade A doofuses, hideous freaks, idiots, assholes, racists, dirtbags, abusers, (hell it's like I'm describing War Machine) etc. but have had careers simply because their peckers stayed hard when the camera is on...
I like that Mark actually sounds like the sex is affecting him. When I've seen Joey Silvera's normal bg movies and Joey cast himself in a scene or two, I liked how Joey also sounds affected, by his breathing patterns.
Hi Everyone, I haven't been on here in awhile but I saw this thread and thought I respond. The original poster asked a valid question in his/her mind so I thought I would reply. I was never truly aware I was moaning or talking too much in my scenes before until recently. Trust me it wasn't something I was trying to do to annoy anyone or cause any affect it just simply came naturally. I really love what I do and I am just enjoying myself while doing it. I don't know but I assume if you were in my shoes and you had your dick in some of the girls I get to work with you too might make noises you didn't know you could. Sometimes I'm just beside myself not believing I'm really given the opportunity to do this. I am vocal I guess because I enjoy the banter back and forth with my costars. That's what gets me going. Also sometimes when I'm working with newer girls when I'm talking or even moaning more during the scene they tend to open up and respond better. Over the last six months, I've been trying to put myself more in the background with my vocals/moaning because in the end I do care to put out good product and I want to make the fans happy. I can't say that I enjoy it better but I'm working on it. As far as the comment about being top talent, I would have to politely disagree with you. I'm fortunate to work for most of the top gonzo shooters in the business and I think my longevity points to that. In the end, everyone has the right to voice their opinion and that's what makes life interesting . Hope everyone has a happy holiday season

Keep fucking these wanton strumpets, Mark! You're alright in my book.
kids who complain about Mark Wood, must've REALLY hated Peter North maybe if he gets Peter North's secret, people won't hate on him so much :) I don't have a problem with him. Edited by - cm37564 on 12/5/2009 1:06:10 AM
I have zero problem with anyone that chooses porn as a career, but it's not for me. And I damn sure would not have a hard time getting into porn if I chose, but I have a career, a very high-paying one that gets me attention from plenty of lovely women. You don't know it, but many times when you sit down and watch a movie or television, you're probably watching something that I've written. And as for my quote sounding gay... "You're about 2 years and 2 gin shots away from being gay" you boy-band dancer. lol.
You have never fucked anyone who looks like Lexi Belle. And you never will. The reason porn isn't for you is because you would either be unable to achieve an erection in front of an entire room full of people, or if you did, because were on drugs, you would lose your load five minutes into the blow job. And I do know who you are and what you have written, and they are the shows I don't watch and the movies I don't see. Have fun with your pecker you putz.

I wonder if pinkwater and Agbotech know each other from down at the Dudes Who Are Incredibly Rich & the Chicks Can't Keep Their Hands Off of Them, Plus They Drive Awesome Cars Club?
I'm the one who said you weren't a top gun, but rather a workman stud and I'll be happy to explain. A cursory google search on other male porn stars shows they get a lot more hits, including several who haven't been in the industry as long as you've been. They're just more recognizable names in the industry and move product based on their name. Just like not every girl can be as famous as Jenna Jameson, not every guy can be Lex Steele or Rocco or even Ron Jeremy in terms of media and ability to move product. It doesn't mean you're a lesser performer, but simply not the biggest name. I'm sure you've known some fantastic performers, both men and women who deserve more acclaim in the business and simply aren't as well known as others. It's much like being a character actor in Hollywood; you're a fine performer but not everybody is gonna be Will Smith and Tom Cruise and many people don't want to be. Hope that clears it up.
I got to get in on this. First off, don't judge a book by it's cover. What I mean by that is as a fan you only see mark on screen. Mark has worked for me and I for him for years now. He's a stand up guy and one of the best guys to use in porn. If he wasn't he wouldn't work for all the major studio's with the top girls. As far as his moaning , that's his thing! We all have our ways of having sex. Some people even roll there eyes back lol. I breath like I'm having some sort of attack! Any how Mark as performer is a A lister for me. Just thought I'd share. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention he has a hall fame wife that brings home hot chicks for dude to bone, that's pretty cool.
In my book, you're a class act. I've never had any complaints about your work. And in fact, you got to fuck Taylor Rain so I'm fucking jealous as hell but do have to say I'd make sounds like a deranged beagle if I could fuck her.
I agree with you that the fans care about the male performer too, whether they agree or not. As for Lex and Rocco, they overpower their girls and try to steal the show. I think that is a big turnoff. I will never understand why those two became popular. Performer of the year? Give me a break.
i went through my hd and found some of marks scenes and i dont see where he was makin all that much noise..but the girls were moaning pretty loud..hehe..
Mark Wood has been in many of my favorite scenes throughout the years. He's very underrated as a performer and director. Mark, I don't know who's responsible for the booking at Redlight, but I've noticed the casting for some of their recent movies have been really awful. Most of the girls I've never even heard of. It's like there trying to book every below average girl just because they're new. If they're running out of talent to shoot then they should rebook the girls who have done well. I would not mind at all if I saw girls like Tori Black, Sasha Knox, Bella Cole, Lindy Lane and Kiera King over and over. There are also some hot new girls out there that should be getting booked like Marilyn Scott, Tiffany Tyler and Victoria White. Mark, you're casting in general has been very good. Keep up the good work. Loved your scene w/Tara Lynn Foxx btw.
Yo brother, tell the haters to put down the Haterade. Besides having one one of the hottest women on the planet as your woman you get to work with Cherokee D'Ass AND Lorelei Lee?! Damn you've got good karma or something. As far as your chatter goes, I giggle to some of the stuff that comes out of your mouth in the heat of the moment. Do what you do man and roll wit' it. See if you can tap Carmen Hayes' and Anneke Nordstrum's asses in the near future.
You got that right. I will never hold against it anybody for moaning while inside Ashlynn Brooke's pussy. In my book it's even OK for a man to cry and shed tears of joy when his dick is inside warm and wet pussies like those girls'. Edited by - RetiredPornactor on 12/6/2009 9:08:49 AM

I suppose Mr. Pete has summarized the issue quite good. Everyone has his own style which have to be respected. Generally I want to emphasize, we fans here need to behave more politely to the male stars and not judge them very harsh. I see on this forum more critism about the male stars compared to the girls altough there are 5-6 times more girls than the guys in the business. On this purpose I would like to note that I have been watching Mark Wood's work for appx 10 years (maybe more than 200 scenes of him) and I must admit that he is cleanly above avarage. His most positive profession is; to let the girls being the principal. "Moaning" is not important for me. However when you look at this pic below, he seems to get bored working with the hot girls. Maybe thats why he is moaning. [:P)]
Hey Guys, Just so you know, I HAVE been booked once for Red Light District... and I was lucky enough to get to work with Mark Wood himself. Check out the scene in "In It Goes Out It Cums 7".
