So, where does one begin? Out of the hundreds if not thousands of guys who've made careers out of having heterosexual intercourse on camera, how can one possibly decide who’s the single greatest porn stud of all time? What criteria does one use? A) Number of video credits? B) Number of babes landed? C) Cock size? D) Stamina? E) Volume of semen per load? How about F) none of the above. In my opinion, the single most important criterion to consider is a male performer's ability to induce vaginal orgasm (not to be confused with clitoral orgasm) in his female partners during intercourse. Given the distractions of camera and possibly crew, this is certainly no easy feat by any means. Even under the best of circumstances, achieving vaginal orgasm (a.k.a. G-spot orgasm) can be very challenging for women and also for the men who's job it is to make it happen. For those of you who actually believe the screams and moans in porn vids are evidence of vaginal orgasms, I've got some timeshares in Afghanistan I'd like to sell you. Truth of the matter is, the "genuine article" it's not a common occurrence in porn or anywhere else for that matter. In fact, in porn it's extremely rare… that is, unless the scene includes a certain male performer (for now we'll just refer to him as "Superstud"), in which case, the odds increase dramatically. Known for being extremely reliable, this underrated swordsman is blessed with size (length and girth), shape (dude’s got a natural, Gspot -friendly curve), incredible physical endurance, and amazing sexual stamina that often sends his partners "over the edge". No other male performer, to my knowledge, can match his "success rate" How can I make such a claim? Well, one has to first be able to recognize "success"... that is, when true vaginal orgasm has been reached. Here are some of the signs/indicators that may be present (of course all women are different). Other manifestations may also exist: Lost sense of awareness/surroundings Progressively heightened vocalization Uncontrollable body quivering Quivering moans Unintelligible speech Contorted facial expressions Squirting (If you're still not sure what a vaginal orgasm looks like, check out Rachel Starr & Michael Stefano in New Chicks Cum First 4) For me, the single most satisfying aspect of viewing adult dvd's is watching gorgeous women getting f**ked to the point of uncontrollable orgasm... it's a beautiful and sensuous spectacle of female sexuality. On the other hand, watching a scene where the girl goes through the motions with contrived fake screams and moans is frankly boring and a waste of time. Or, watching a hot babe getting teased, "tickled" or toyed with by some "little leaguer" only serves to piss me off. So, to avoid these types of scenes, I have found the best strategy is to simply look for dvd's/scenes that only list the best male talent along with one or more of my favorite babes. Although lesser known than many of his peers, my nominee (Superstud) has a proven history of bringing out the best in every girl he works with, while always delivering top-notch performances himself. So now, without further ado, my nomination for Greatest Porn Stud Ever (drum roll please)... is........ Mr. Mark Ashley! This guy has been in the business for going on 9 years and has logged well over 1000 sex scenes. But to see why he's my pick, check any one of these 3 examples: with Isis Taylor in… Poolside Pussy 2 with Kelly Divine in… I Love Ass Cheeks 2, or with Charley Chase in… Swimsuit Calendar Girls 3 In the Poolside Pussy 2 scene, Mark had Isis so orgasmic that she literally became overwhelmed and ran to the opposite side of the room. Since I had always seen her in full command of her reactions in all her prior work, watching the drop-dead gorgeous Isis Taylor completely "lose it" for the first time was a very special treat! In Ass Cheeks 2, Mark gave Kelly Divine an unmerciful drilling to the point that Kelly began spouting off unintelligible words. which served to further authenticate the realism of the moment. FINAL WORD Mark Ashley is a bona fide living porn legend who has been grossly underrated throughout his career (dude has only 1 award, and that was for a 3-way). It's high time for the porn world to recognize and appreciate his greatness and contribution to the industry. note: Here are some honorable mentions... Peter North, Rocco Siffredi Michael Stefano Lexington Steele Eric Everhard Justin Slayer

Good call on Mark Ashley but let's pick the "mark ashley" of the golden age: Kevin James. Big cock, always hard, his partners seemed really into fucking him; decent actor even
Peter North - treats the women well - eager to eat pussy, lick ass, kiss and return the favors - been around for a long time - huge cock - stays in shape - quieter than most dudes nowadays - thick, huge and extremly powerful loads (never seen a similar combination) - huge number of movies and fucked every girl worth mentioning from the late 80s to early 00s - 110% reliable performances
Got to go with Peter North. In the porn on film in real movie theatres era, John Leslie was the king. Not because he was such a great "stud," but because he excelled all-around in what the film era, with plots and acting, as well as being able to deliver the goods, demanded.
Another dude that I would stick up for is Sean Michaels! Edited by - grover on 9/27/2009 6:45:21 PM

RICHARD MANN That's right, Richard Mann for all the OP's reasons apart from the volume of movies. Richard Mann is the most reliable out there. ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR Be on the lookout for a guy called 'ICE COLD'. He is the new Mandingo. He is working with CJ Wright, Prince Yashua and Lisa Ann in 'Bases Loaded'.
1. Rocco (The King, the paradigm-changer) 2. Manuel 3. Nacho 4. Mark Ashley 5. Mark Wood (it's taken him a while to reach the upper echelon, but the guy is consistently, year after year, fucking the hottest new girls in the biz, and fucking them really well) 6. Mick Blue 7. Steve Holmes 8. Ben English 9. Ian Scott 10. John Strong
Manuel Ferraro, mainly because all the chicks seem to be really into fucking him, but also because he's not overly muscular or overly out of shape - i.e. he looks like what a regular "good looking" guy ought to be, and he doesn't look out of place fucking these hot chicks.
IR remarks removed. "Greatest Porn Stud Ever" is not an IR agenda. -- BigBobxxx Greatest porn stud ever charm charisma looks total ladies man turned into one of the greatest directors John Leslie.
My favs are: Manual Ferrera Ramon Romar Mike Stefano Mr. Pete (he's just so adorable in a plain sort of way) Jake Steed (when he was performing) Jules Jordan and that new guy...Mike Gonze

Gotta go with Peter North. He did a lot of it without Viagra!
The first name that comes to mind for "Greatest porn stud ever" is Mark Ashley. honorable mention: Ray Victory Byron Long Richard Mann Jasper Wade Julian
I don't think hundreds thousands of guys have made "careers" out of having heterosexual intercourse on camera. I think to call it a career one would need to perform at least a thousand scenes of a ten year period. I think Brandon Irons and Dave Hardman should be mentioned. -How did this thread become about "interracial"? Edited by - lurflurf on 9/29/2009 12:27:21 PM
Please Note You will notice the following edit has been applied in this thread: IR remarks removed. "Greatest Porn Stud Ever" is not an IR agenda. -- BigBobxxx I have done this no matter what position regarding IR was being stated, or even if someone was just quoting and/or commenting on other IR comments. This thread will NOT be allowed to be hijacked by IR comments! Thank you.
I guess his end eclipsed his journey, so to speak. Unfortunately, when I think of John Holmes I think of pure tragedy. I also noticed I left the charming James Deen off my list by mistake. The nerve!

In my opinion John Leslie and Harry Reems were "studlier" than Ron Jeremy and John Holmes. That's right, the smaller fellas actually get the clear nod here. Why? Because they were in better physical condition, and that enabled them to bring more ENERGY to their scenes. Because it's the quintessential challenge of the sexual act (at least from the male's perspective), I still firmly believe the single most important criteria for "studliness" is a guy's ability to, basically, f**k his female partner into quivering orgasm. For this rare event to occur, it's usually gonna require a combination of at least 3 elements: exceptional cock size/shape, great energy, and supreme sexual stamina (load control). How many porn studs named so far TRULY have this complete package? Also, can anyone here comment on Mark Ashley's performances in the following scenes? with Isis Taylor in… Poolside Pussy 2 with Kelly Divine in… I Love Ass Cheeks 2, or with Charley Chase in… Swimsuit Calendar Girls 3

I'm really indifferent to the male talent. I don't know their names, for the most part. But I do like Tom Byron, simply because he is the most enthusiastic ass-eater I've ever seen, particularly large ass, particularly in the Big Ass Fixation series... and that's something I like to see.

'Classic' era: John Leslie 'Modern' era: Rocco 'Post-modern' era: Manuel isobviously much loved by the ladies, although I usually prefer Michael Stefano's performing style in a scene myself.
I'm usually watching the girls so i have to say this question is best served to the ladies in the scenes and that's where it will bear credibility. playing along... I'd say rocco is a little too rough some times so i'll go with peter north who seems to treat the women with respect and he packs a load.
also i don't know mark's work so well, i'll check it out... and as for black perfomers i do watch interacial and usually there is a dominance thing i have to get over but i guess i enjoy it temporarily...
Peter North. He was a strong performer, the ladies seemed to like him, and he always had big loads. Ron Jeremy has been around for a very long time so he deserves props for that but the last few years I haven't enjoy watching him. Rocco is a little rougher than I like but a reliable, strong performer. Sean Michaels, Michael Stefano, Manuel Ferrara and Steve Holmes have all been reliable but Peter's been in the business for a very long time, and always given the camera what it wants.

wmonbear, i've already made my comments about the charley chase scene in another thread. it was a down right exhibition. the isis taylor scene, well, she was greatly overwhelmed...wasn't quite ready for the big show i suppose. and, the kelly divine scene, well, let's just say she got an awakening in that one. please, check out the dana dearmond scene w/ him in "flat out fucking" to catch a glimpse of his sexual prowess. and, my vote is the same as yours in case you didn't already know.
MR.MARCUS Can you nominate yourself? Uh I'm gonna say "yeah...I can". Hate me later.

oldmule, thanks for the comments on those scenes... i was beginning to think i was the only one to have seen them. Well, I believe that now makes 3 votes for Mark Ashley... guy is so underrated. Maybe this thread will open some eyes. To all the posters that nominated the current frontrunner Peter North , it's kinda hard for me to vote for a guy as Greatest Porn Stud Ever, given his controversial film history. Suffice it to say, "quarterback" wasn't the only position Peter played. Still he deserves mad respect, so I gave him a strong honorable mention in my original post.

No hate here... A Mr. Marcus nomination is certainly legit! Seen a lot of your work... never disappointed. One of my all-time favorite scenes of yours was a Randy West production with the beautiful April Flowes (aka April Summers). As you probably remember, this girl had one of the best bodies EVER in porn (or anywhere else for that matter)! If I'm not mistaken, she was rather new to the business at the time and actually requested to work with you. Do you remember that scene? Any comments about April? I remember her to be really quiet (offered hardly any conversation). I guess she let her body do all the talking for her. Edited by - wmonbear on 10/1/2009 3:40:59 AM

This is a pathetic veiled reference to the fact that North did some gay porn, so what? Marc Stevens, Jack Wrangler, Wade Nichols, and George 'Psycho' Payne all did gay and straight porn in the 70s. Jamie Gillis let trannies suck him off, so did Ron Jeremy and Tom Byron. Let the perverts be perverts.

BlackSix, I got no problem whatsoever with Peter North doing gay porn. I just personally find it to be very UN-studly behavoir, especially since he "took" as well as "gave". Don't mean to offend, but this is not an image I would normally have in mind when considering someone for Greatest Porn Stud Ever. That said, he is still unquestionably a 1st ballot hall-of-famer as a hetero performer! Edited by - wmonbear on 10/1/2009 4:43:45 AM
Must respect to Mr. Ashley for the sheer number of girls he has made squirt. I remember him being responsible for Teagan Presley's first one in Weapons Of Ass Destruction 3 (as she gives him head) and then an encore in Service Animals 18. Also Rachel Milan's reaction in All Teens 3 is priceless! He keeps doing it again and again to her and she never squirted before that. Two more good ones are his scenes with Mia Rose. One for Team Squirt and another in Teen Dreams 12. Great cumshot at the end of the Team Squirt one. Mia looked shocked by the volume of the load as it was falling onto her.
Yes, you may nominate yourself, Mr. Marcus. I prefer Evan Stone, though -- especially the scenes from earlier in the decade. I guess I like that Fabio fucking beautiful women bit (and wish I was Fabio). Also, thanks BigBoxx for stopping IR talk in this thread. That is all I am going to say here about it here.
I'm in total agreement with BlackSix,here especially were Wade Nichols,is concerned who in my personal opinion is probably the most underrated porn stud of all time,he had three different careers porn star,soap star and singer.To me that's pretty impressive especially the later two because those were mainstream and porn was totally looked down upon by the the mainstream at period of time.Also who can forget his excellent acting in Take Off and Jailbait as well the scorching hot sex scene between him and CJ Laing,in Barbara Broadcast.
Couldn't agree more. Porn in general is extremely queer, and I love male performers who explore their sexuality (doesn't happen so much these days). In my mind it makes them more appealing - yes, even a stud, even if they "take" rather than receive.
I gotta go with Dave Hardman for sheer volume of work. And when suitably inspired, and early enough in the day, he was capable of some relatively impressive loads. I'm with Ramsey though on Ramon; that guy backs some heat and the chicks seem to be overwhelmed at times and just hanging on for the ride of their lives. That and he's the current master of the queef. He makes 80% of the chicks he bangs queef, which is hot for those into that sort of thing haha. Gotta give a nod to Mark Ashley too. That guy is solid and has been for years.
