Recently there has been lots of debate about male performers being very important for making a company's product critically acclaimed. You see Elegant Angel trying to get back to form but is having difficulty building around a top notch male performer to consistently carry scenes. As someone who believes that male performers deserve the same recognition as pro athletes I'm going to make a list of the most valuable male performers in the industry as it stands right now. The criteria for this list will be a combination of performance, stamina, looks, mass appeal, size and ability to produce money shots.
1) JOHNNY SINS- Consistently the best performer in the biz at the moment
2) MANUEL FERRARA- Has the look that attracts women from multiple continents along with massive girth and consistently delivering excellent cum shots.
3) MANDINGO- The biggest dick the industry has scene, has the ability to produce gold with the right director (see JJV/Juelz Ventura from Mandingo Unchained)
4) CRISS/CHRIS STROKES- Possibly the biggest and most marketable cock in porn, has the ability to make girls squirt that don't normally do
5) XANDER CORVUS- The new Erik Everhard, pounds girls with a "hate plow" that makes girls squirt who don't normally do, (see RayVeness & Marsha May scenes)
6) DANNY D- Huge Long and Thick Uncut Dick, massive pop shots, one the most valuable packages in the business, possibly the new "Peter North"
7) MICK BLUE- Male Performer of the Year, great veteran of the game, excellent for DP scenes
8) PRINCE YASHUA- Possibly the most explosive black performer ever, has mass appeal, gets girls to cross over to interracial like Mr Marcus
9) JOHNNY CASTLE- Good look that attracts females, very fit, delivers a great scene for friendly porn like Naughty America
10- BRICK DANGER- Great performer, pounds the shit out of girls, fucks like his life is on the line
11- ERIK EVERHARD- Far from his prime from 2001 but can still make girls cum multiple times with no problems
12- RICO STRONG- Possibly the most underrated Black Male Performer, massive dick that makes them squirt
13- FLASH BROWN- Haven't seen much but delivered impressive work with Nikki Benz, Dani Daniels, Capri Cavanni & Samantha Saint
14- LEXINGTON STEELE- Legend in the game but nowhere near his prime
15) CHAD WHITE- Has a solid physique and good size, has the look that can attract women
16) RAMON NOMAR- Has fallen off, weight issues and possibly wood issues seem to haven weakened his performances
17- KEIRAN LEE- Would have been Top 5 back in 2009 but has really fallen off, his constant coaching during scenes is a turn off, hasn't impressed much at all recently but still has the size factor to keep him relevent.
18- JESSY JONES- Good for working with MILFS, definitely has a marketable looking dick
19- JAMES DEEN- Has the cross over appeal, seems to be a favorite of women
20- BRUCE VENTURE- An underrated performer with good size, needs to get more work to prove he can be consistent
21- MARK ASHLEY- One of the best of all time, just hasn't worked much or delivered anything of note recently
22- BILL BAILEY- Good performer, has gotten much better over time
23- STEVE HOLMES- Still good at his age, perfect for the Manuel DP's Them All Series
24- RICHIE BLACK- Possibly a cross over from gay porn, good physique and has delivered good scenes for NA from my perspective
25- VOODOO- Doesn't work often but has one of the biggest tools in the industry
MALE PERFORMERS who don't work that could be beneficial
1) PHAT ZANE
2) ICE COLD
3) CLOVER (Prison at the moment but has much potential)
4) JARED GREY (Sandee Westgate's boyfriend, could be a huge contract star for Brazzers, has a huge thick cock which has delivered amazing scenes with his girlfriend)
5) JULIAN- One of the best, age might be a negative at this point if he returned

^nm, missed him. I agree with some of the studs on here. But honestly the guys job is to just shut up and be a stunt cock. Besides that if they produce big cumshots and can keep a hard-on, their OK. Also I don't like Ferrara and Everhard. Two of my least favorite studs. Don't know why. I just don't like them. My favorites are lex, peter north, danny d, and sins. Xander Corvus is also cool.

^ I think you got fake accounts for some of those guys. Their real accounts have way more followers.
Examples:
Prince Yahshuah - @PrinceYahshua - 46800
Rico Strong - @itzmericostrong - 26500

thank you, I've made the corrections. It's strange to see that Johnny Sins has so few followers, but the account seems authentic. But obviously there could be different reasons for that.

You can't judge a performers popularity by Twitter. I don't even use Twitter at all and I'm pretty sure the best of the best doesn't spend all day playing with his phone replying to tweets.

You're right that you can't, but that isn't the reason why. Popularity does play a factor in the number of Twitter followers (for as much as some porn fans don't like him, you'd be very hard pressed to find a more popular American performer than James Deen), as does engagement (how often you talk and reply to followers). The actual reason you can't is because Twitter followers can easily be bought and/or gamed into. Just to use a simple example, there's absolutely no way that Gabby Quinteros is among the top 5 popular female performer in the industry. Yet she has more followers than all but 1 or 2 female performers.

How can Mick Blue be at 7 but performer of the year for you? Also James Deen is way too low.

I was just pointing out that he's the AVN Male Performer of the Year. James Deen appeals to certain people but not everyone. Girls seem to like him for some reason and he's very pro rough sex but he's not at the level of Johnny Sins or Manuel performance wise in my opinion.

^I actually mostly agree with you there, I just didn't realise this was more based on your opinion.

It's a good indicator of it. If you look especially to the first positions whatever your idea of those performers is, those are clearly some of the most legendary performers ever. James Deen, Manuel Ferrara, Nacho Vidal, Rocco Siffredi, Ron Jeremy, Lexington Steele, Keiran Lee, Johnny Sins, Jules Jordan. The only surprise is Jordi El Nino Polla, but actually I'm not surprised at all by his huge popularity: like James Deen when he was really young he's the perfect guy for older women/younger men kind of stuff, and being the only one in porn with certain characteristics today (even because in the american straight porn there's not even one guy as young as him) it's easy to explain his amount of followers. So large also because he clearly has a great appeal on gay watchers, even if I guess he has done only straight stuff.

One guy I did forget was Mike Adriano, I guess because he's mainly Evil Angel exclusive for the most part but he's created some killer scenes, he would definitely be in the top 5 or 10.

There are guys that ruin scenes and there are guys that bring scenes on to being as good as it gets for the viewing pleasure. And that's valuable. These are those I know of active or gone that haven't ruined one single scene: Bill Bailey, Billy Glide, Jordan Ash, Scott Nails, Ben English, Tommy Gunn, Evan Stone, Chris Charming, Joel Lawrence, Brian Bumper, Lexington Steele, Mick Blue. These are those that have made almost every scene I've seen great: Mark Ashley, Erik Everhard. Some have put great energy to the table and they have got the passion: Talon, Prince Yahshuva. Some never really fails, and that should be a value: Mark Wood, John Strong, Mr Pete, Will Powers, Michael Stefano. Some can be really cool and won't go wrong: James Deen, Marco Banderas, Ramon Nomar, Vince Voyeur. Ralph Long is kinda funny. Alex Gonz did some amazing scenes with Tanner Mayes (Farm Fresh) and Lia Lor (Whale Tail). Scott Lyons and Anthony Rossano are funny, too. Bruce Venture has the capacity dickwise. Reality Kings' In the VIP wouldn't be a killerdeal without Jmac, Pure 18 depends much on Voodoo. BWC just an accident nowadays without Chris Strokes. Chris Streams said to Josie Jagger that Manuel Ferrara was absolutely alone on top of the league. I agree only when it comes to heavy lifting like Reverse Gang Bang, even though Lee Stone could argue against that. The fanatics will forever depend on Mike Adriano.
Just take away those you can't stand and take it from there. Mandingo could probably sweep the floor so that 25 performers remain.

I like actors that keep the legs spread on themselves and the girls so I can get good shots of penetration. Tony De Sergio does great at that. Ramon Nomar does this too. They also do up-and-over shots I love. I want to see their asses while they work that pussy.

Nacho Vidal latin? He is spaniard, so is european. This means CAUCASIAN.
I do not know why people confuse Spaniards (who are more similar to French, Italian or English than to Latin Americans) with what in the Anglo-Saxon world you call LATIN. Vidal is Caucasian like other Spaniards: Chris Diamond, Toni Ribas, Ramon Nomar, Alberto Blanco, Joel Tomas, Mike Adriano (origin), Coto Monster or Jordi "niño polla"

Any news about Jordan Ash? He hasn't done any scene in 2017, according to data18... I'm quite worried :(
