Hey guys I'm new here but have been into porn for over 25 years now.
Anyways here's my question...what male porn performers do you think are the greatest ever? You think of a great performer and you think of a guy who could keep wood, can cum on cue, can act, and whose career goes on for a long time.
Here's my list. (in order)
1. Manuel Ferrara
2. Mick Blue
3. Evan Stone
4. Lexington Steele
5. James Deen
6. Tom Byron
7. Rocco Siffredi
8. Tommy Gunn
9. Michael Stefano
10. TT Boy
11. Jon Dough
12. Jonathan Morgan
What do you think?

Doesn't meet all your criteria but his cock makes up for it.

When I think about this one, the only male performer I ever watched because of the male performer was Rocco Siffredi. There are male performers that make for a boring scene, but most are middle of the pack performers with the only difference being dick size. Rocco could make an ugly woman seem interesting. He was the one guy that put male performers in porn on the map. Before Rocco no one gave a flying crap about a male performer other than for dick size, which had very little to do with their performance.

True in a sense, but not entirely. Jeff Stryker was/is a superstar. They made a 12" action figure out of him, playing cards, etc. French art photographers did his portrait. Before you say "but he's gay/bi/crossover!" performers such as Jerry Butler made a name for themselves too, appearing on talk shows and releasing a best selling memoir. People definitely knew who he was, and some others also.
Anyway, my vote is for Jeff. Greatest performer ever, imo.

I have to go with Jon Dough, Peter North and Paul Thomas for old school. But today has a group of really fine male performers: Ryan Madison, Sean Lawless, Tyler Steel, Van Wylde, JMac, Brad Knight, Ryan Ryder, Miguel Zayas, Logan Pierce and really I could go on and on.

Old school - John Leslie no question.
Modern - Rocco, I give him the edge over Manuel in this case because you mentioned acting ability as one of the criteria.

Stryker was a boring performer. If he wasn't popular in gay porn, he wouldn't have done much as a straight performer. He looked like he was more into himself than he was into the girl on film.
Butler made a name for himself, but he wasn't close to the greatest performer. He was just some guy older directors liked to use because he could act a little.
Rocco made being a male performer a selling point in straight porn. He was the first guy I watched and said, "I want to fuck women like he does." Early Rocco looked like he was getting the woman off as well as himself. He would suck and lick every part of them and fuck them relentlessly like he was going to get them off whether they wanted it or not. You knew if you fucked and licked and played with a woman like Rocco did, she was going to enjoy it. He seemed like he was completely into whatever woman he was fucking at the time. It's something I've never seen with any other male performer in the business.
Though I did have a porn watching buddy that was fascinated by Peter North's huge loads. He would download every scene Peter North did to watch him cum on chicks.

I love Rocco, too. He's beautiful. But he went almost completely anal and that's not my thing. And he has a good company but the filming style of the camera always zooming around drives me nuts. And, again, too much anal. My crush when I was young was Scott Irish. I had every film and magazine with him in it. I could not get enough of him. Red hair and pubes, loved performing for the camera and drove the ladies crazy. I even met him once in S.F. when he was stripping. Tom Hardman was another personal favorite. Nice cock and did really great up-and-overs for the best views. That's how I rate performers. How is the guy's enthusiasm and his effort to show me, the viewer, the best shots? And I always enjoyed Jenner. He loved his work and it showed. I just wish he hadn't shaved his body hair.

^^ None of that disputes the fact that people took notice of male performers/that there were people putting male stars on the map before Rocco.

1. Peter north. Could act early on when it was necessary then made mainly great gonzo. Really had fun with girls and of course his massive load was always great to see.
2. Manuel ferrera. Good actor that really got into the girls. Solid performer with a huge load too.
3. Jon dough. Able to act early on before going to mainly gonzo. Really knew how to get the best out of female performers, especially young newbies and delivered a great load too.
4. Mike john. Did great work for gonzo and pov. Lot of fun with the girls and directing.
5. Jules jordan. Another great one at gonzo and pov. Gets great performances out of girls.
6. Mark davis. Another good performer who could act. Really able to get good performances for female costars and newbies with his thick cock.
6. Mark wood. Another performer who could get great performances out of girls, especially young newbies and always made fun scenes.
7. Lexington steele. Good actor with great performances with women with his huge cock and big loads.
8. Brandon iron. Always had good fun scenes and a solid performer.
9. Rocco. Certainly knew how to get women into the scene and delivered some classic scenes as well as a good actor.
10. Tom byron. Another fun performer who could act and made grear gonzo scenes later on.
Those are probably my top ten. But you got some newer talent like Danny d, sean lawless, and jmac that are certainly well on their way to greatness.

Has anyone else notice that the older these guys get the rougher their style becomes? It's as if they need rougher sex to get them off.

Takes its toll, Yeah, they get fed up it seems, too much pussy all over the Place. I saw it coming early on, in speaking on those fellas behalf, Mick Blue got grey early on, can't say there was/is anything bad about him in front of camera, but the great sicilian liar or not, Michael Stefano, seemed tired and left, like if he'd been having enough. Anal focus seemed to keep him awake last five years in biz, like if pussy wasn't tight enough, and the magic of pussy was simply gone. What a freakin' shame. If I was Sicilian and I was him I'd be about the most happy dude ever and stay the most motivated and so focused like another of them homo sapiens in L.A. just because of the steady flow of teens showing up wanting to have intercourse with him. He said he was tired of porn and had earnt enough money not wasting it on drugs and partying. Like if his lotterynumber came in by 2002 he could have left anyway missing so much pornaction that he didn't need because pay was there and pussy did not matter.

That's not true. Stefano said in BTS before banging both Keri Sable and Jasmine Byrne or was it Cassie Courtland and Brianna Love that after all what was going one was that these chicks fed his freakin' addiction. He's probably the only one guy ever to be freed from severe addiction by going thru every step of the programme in real action. No doubt sicilians are the true masters in lying. Because I can't trust what he said after he just quit.

Before Rocco in Europe there was French Gabriel Pontello he went in almost every French Feature movie during the eighties and half the Nineties continued as a director as Gabri(ela) Ponti until 2006 or 2007. When he was performing he had also a magazine dedicated to him it was a porn photostories magazine called Supersex , it lasted from 1977 to 1997 , one issue per month then two was made in Sweden then France then published in Italy , he also published porn photostories as extra scene for many porn magazines , created another Porn Photostories magazine called Erotik. To that he also performed in some German Teresa Orlowsky production series.
It was him who convinced Rocco to move to France and pushed his career as a beginner.
All of that was sold because of him , even Cicciolina was a secondary name and extra issued in his magazines before che became populòar enough to get her own series

Best performance? That's very difficult just to kinda point out. Maybe I'd say that crazy thing from Spain, Nacho Vidal, once again on to something. But I won't. I'd say Erik Everhard going far east and pumping all over the place in 2006. Then going back to US and pumping a lot as if he was lifting weights. No he did not. He pumped pussies, licked and sucked and went like a dynamo, culminating in the scene with Erika, described as "superman" in review. So I'd say Everhard in 2006, he wasn't a lazy one, I'll tell U that. One lazy looking fellow from France did win a prize as if I cared much.
Of all time? I think VHS era should be left behind. So I'd say Lexington Steele and Chris Strokes and Mark Ashley. What I liked so much about Ashley is his power back in those years stretching from 2002 - 2010, 11, maybe 12. Chicks got so turned on that during sex they had nothing to say than just lettinh their bodies do the talk as pussies flowed and some oh ah's in between like if he made them shut up and just cum straight away.

No love for Sean Michaels?
[mod edit: sorry no getty images]
It's always a toss-up for me as to who is the most handsome porn stud of all time--Michaels or Peter North. Both get credit for being very popular with their female co-stars, not to mention their career longevity and success. I'd like them both to get more mainstream recognition for their careers--talk shows, magazines, stuff like that.
Jamie Gillis was quite a handsome man as well, and to my mind was the all-time best actor in porn. Don't know how popular he was with his co-stars--it is my understanding he liked to get rough during his sex scenes.
Hope that helps.

Brigitte Lahaie , Olinka hardiman and basically every major French an european porn star of his era , he's also the only actor that I know of who had fucked Olinka in the ass and so did with Ms Jess , although being a photo story I believe he only introduced his dick rather than actually fuck them , in the case of Marilyn Jess at least half of it, no dubbed body it was full figure and her face was visible , same for Olinka , they were bot on their back with their legs wide open
Marilyn Jess is my alltime absolute favourite

All time best, Mark Ashley, period.
Brandon Iron because he always brought a hot dominant edge to scenes that seemed like they were probably meant to be more vanilla and he always got the girls to go along for the ride. Was even more awesome when he started to self-produce.
Danny D, one of the best cocks ever, insane loads, still looks like he's having fun.
Most underrated was a guy called Sascha, more of a workhouse and didn't always have a lot of chemistry, but ALWAYS made it a point to go balls deep in every anal scene, which is damn rare.
Always have to give a shout out to Manuel, it's easy to take him for granted but porn would be so much worse off without him, a true lover (or at least impeccably playing the part) who tends to bring out the best in his girls. One of the few who can get away with making out with them more often than not.
Ramon Nomar, above average performer who is probably the sexiest male to ever work.
Scott Nails, sexy rough fucker with a great cock who always walked right up to the edge of what was acceptably rough and got the girls off hard.
Another largely forgotten guy named Frank Major, hard to put my finger on exactly what was so hot about him but he had a serious X factor. Always great loads too.
Honorable mention to Billy Glide, one of the thickest cocks in porn, really sexy body and it was endearing how he seemed like an incredibly stupid goofball who was trying his best and having fun. ...Just learned that he died of a drug overdose a couple of years ago :(
Something perversely hot about Ben English because he was able to get away with shit that other mainstream guys couldn't because he was also in charge of booking so many girls and they had to stay in his good graces.
Going to optimistically put Chris Diamond on this list, I think he does mostly LP right now and still has room to grow as a performer but one of the thickest cocks I've ever seen, and getting more and more confident at using it.

When speaking of performers and performers only, leaving directors and such outside, I have a favorite in Billy Glide. Never a mediocre scene with him going ever, fat cock making America Great Again, not some carrier pussy only doing it for the money. Bill Bailey took his role I guess. Male dudes driven forward by the hot looking sensations. If I knew of other Billy's in America, it's probably Mr Clinton, and he looks kinda said and done by now, like Crystal, taking charge as de Niro's therapist.

I will mention only a few, although there are many astonishing:
Mark Ashley, beautiful cock and best fucker, lust made flesh.There is no other penis like the one that Mark has, his way of using it is totally prodigious. His interracial scenes are among the best in the industry
Lex Steele, made to fuck. His penis is immensely beautiful and hypnotic, he is a total stallion and, in his younger years, he was a seducer without equal.
Chris Charming, the perfect cock for the industry, with huge balls for the females delight
Frank Major, like M.Ashley, but uncut.
Rocco Siffredi, awesome dick, powerful bod and really attractive man. A legend, is the total stud!
Mandingo, all around sexy. That cock is a dream! Perfect
Scott Nails, big dick and intense stamina endorse this stallion that has given us some of the best scenes in the history of porn.
Richard Mann, the supreme cock to be sucked, superheat scenes of blowjobs and fucking way above average.
Michael Stefano, the seductive male par excellence, this stall fuck better than anyone, his scenes dp and his interracial performances will always remain in my eye.
JMac, another sex machine, with a portentous penis and an imposing body. The stud that fucks best, in my opinion, with Stefano and a few chosen more (I'll comment in another thread)
Manuel Ferrara, incredible uncut thick cock, expert fucker
Criss Strokes, the best new male pornstar. Awesome cock, handsome guy and great anals, he is powerful
Nacho Vidal, great looking cock, I prefer when younger.
Steve Holmes, never fails. Huge balls and so loooooong dick
Mick Blue, handsome european stud. Hot as hell!
Erik Everhard, no words needed
Bill Bailey/Mikey Butders, biggest balls in porn
I could add others like JON DOUGH, JOEL LAWRENCE, ALEC KNIGHT, SCOTT LYONS, FALCO ZITO, MIKE ADRIANO, SEAN LAWLESS, LOGAN LONG, XANDER CORVUS, JESSY JONES....

^Wow. Scott Nails got me watching porn. Sexy looking guy. I then started following Manuel Ferrara. He does some things in his scenes that I don't like but a great performer nonetheless. He needs to lose weight. Jmac is my current favorite. I confess that I haven't watched much of Mark Ashley because I don't find him attractive. I have revisit his work.

I watch not so old Vince Voyeur Media stuff on occation, that dude mentioned here shows up all the time, Kyle Stone. To me he's a great ice-breaker. He talks all the time, during BTS, prior to scenes, during scenes, during whatever, even during shower after scene's over, and I have not a snowball's chance in Honolulu's shance to cope with his overflowing verbality. He must be maybe the greatest jibber-jabber in porn ever.

I would say that the most complete and masculine-looking performer in the industry is JMac.
Other masculine-looking guys are James Brossman, Omar Galanti, Mark Ashley, Michael Stefano, Lexington Steele, Steve Holmes or Julian Rios

There's a lot of appreciation here of Rocco, but he is a little too 'alpha' for me. I prefer a male talent who's not heard much and is the right kind of invisible. Rocco has too formidable a screen presence for that.
I would add a left of center name to the list: Ed Powers.
Now, I get that he's an acquired taste, but I think Ed brought a certain grainy, slimy, nerdy, underground, almost hipster-ish appeal to his films, especially the Dirty Debutantes series. The girls were the centerpieces of those pioneering 'casting porn' films, but Ed's acting counterbalanced to achieved that effect. And I loved his voiceovers in some of the features. Some of those could have been straight out of Bukowski novel, man!
