I read an interview in rame where he says that he'll retire when he is 40. How old is he right now, 38,39? ..maybe that's the reason his videos are getting tamer with so many revers-gangbangs all the time. The guy is on his way out. Also In the interview Rocco refers about Franco Roccaforte as Brasilian. (I thought he was from Venezuela).

About Roccaforte, Teo was born in Venezuela, but before reaching adulthood relocated to Brazil (with his family, I assume). It was from Brazil that he came to Europe, where he presently holds German citizenship. This is based on what I have been told, separately, by Toni Ribas and Steve Holmes.

As to Rocco, I thought he was born in 1963, but his latest biography indicates he was born in 1964, meaning he will be 40 next year. He almost retired from in front of the camera a few years ago, because he was bored with it all. But guys like Nacho and Manuel Ferrara, with their energetic attitudes, revived Rocco. The girls in Euro porn also became more outgoing (perhaps in part because of the new, better guys), which also helped keep Rocco interested.

You might suggest he is "going soft," but I would suggest that he was bored making generic, "treat the girl like a live blowup doll" scenes, to the point he almost quit the business. But in recent years their has been the chance to shoot some genuine passion, with a real interaction between people undergoing intense sexual experience, and this has kept Rocco in the game. For me, personally, something like Rocco : Live in Prague is some of the best work he has ever done, and I hope to see more movies like it.

For someone who has no insight to the business i can only give my opinion to this. I sometimes wonder why one stays as long as they do. I do know of course that one has to make money and that is probably the main reason most of the time but it´s probably sad to hear that making adult films becomes boring after a few times. Most people think it would be cool to have sex with girls all day and get paid for that.

Well, just my thoughts. If rocco want´s to leave i say "thank you for all the great stuff he has given us"
Let the guy live his private life

Cube

When Rocco started shooting in the US long ago he did a lot of almost couples-work and was very popular with women fans. The Adventures of Mikki Finn is an example. He didn’t become the Rocco the Anal Destroyer until later. I think it’s entirely possible he shoots the rough stuff only because it’s what makes the money.

When I had a chance to talk with Rocco between rehearsals on The Fashionistas, out of greed I asked him if he will continue performing for quite a while, as I absolutely adore Rocco as a performer.
While I cannot confirm or deny how much longer Rocco will be performing, I can assure you that you have still not seen the best from Rocco. He indeed does seem revived, and is talking about shooting a big production in the United States and South America in the next year or so.

Also, he said it depends on the girl whether he likes a rougher, harder scene or a more relaxed scene. He says he is much happier if the girl is into what is happening.

Rocco becomes 40 next year and he repeatedly said he is going to stop performing than. But he will still shoot as director.
