Gay British Porn star expresses concern that he will have to give up porn work in his 30s because he wants to have kids

Craig Marks indicates people gossiping could be so cruel that if he fulfills his wish of having kids in his thirties he will have to give up working in porn so that his kids are not mocked for his choic of career. So does a porn career have a compatibility problem with parenthood?

A couple of things strike me about what I heard in this interview.

I think it's very unusual( and rather sad ) even in the porn sector, for someone at that age to assume , plan and expect to still be working in porn that many years into the future I think it takes a lot for granted and is maybe naive. In such a highly competitive field were there is a constant stream of new faces joining I think its a tad arrogant also to make such assumptions. He also indicates he doesn't seem to like most people he meets- that and publicly admitting it could work against him in porn sector. He also bigs up Michael Lucas in the interview which tells me he is trying to find an in back with him after rumoured fallout were stopped following each other on twitter and Lucas shaded him in an Instagram story putting a photo up of Craig to the song no friend of mine. Other thoughts are it moves me towards thinking the onlyfans and online pornstar type economy justforfans etc bubble is inevitably going to burst. The hubris and delusion about how the future is secure points to a massive reduction in money being made in the field as becomes oversaturated with wannabee pornstar workers reducing the market rate.

On a related note - I wonder why the conventional wisdom is that you shouldn't do porn because "it will stop you from getting a job"

I wouldn't do porn for a myriad of other reasons. That said, I'll bet 90% of former Helix models have found new work without a problem

He's beautiful and he knows it, but he is in for a harsh reality check if he thinks he's gonna last that long. Only a handful of guys were able to pull those years in porn (more than 5 with constant spotlight) and they didn't look like him. He's too beautiful, that's why I get depressed when I see him. He should have done proper modelling or acting. To be a successful porn star you have to be handsome, but in a dirty and naughty way, like Trenton Ducati or Andy Star, not like a an actual fashion model. Same difference there is between Sasha Grey and Elle Fanning.

In this world kids don't want pornstar parents just like they don't really want gay ones, but unfortunately no one ever thinks of the kids, just their own desires to be seen as normal.

by Anonymousreply 11April 28, 2022 4:21 PM

r10 Yes a very harsh awakening sadly because he really does seem to have taken a lot for granted. I think the longevity think in porn careers works in two ways. Age and novelty. Yes getting older would have an effect on how much work or demand there is for porn with him in it-there are always bright young things and fresh new talent. I mean does he not think that he in some sense helped displace demand and interest in other pornstars? Of course he did and the same will happen to him down the line. But distinct from age is novelty. After a while your pulling power and novelty interest factor wanes. Once you have been in the field for a certain amount of time ie years focus and attention lessens and shifts to others. Few if any people are so great especially in a field increasingly oversaturated , will be able to maintain high levels of interest no matter how hot they are. So a person could come into porn in their thirties or forties and maintain interest at a high level for so many years .That is their time in the sun so to speak. In that instance it was age that handed their career but just that they had been around a while and become part of the furniture. Craig also has the disadvantage of not being allowed in the US. He seems to be banned as Chris Damned hinted strongly. Going by his Instagram stories he smokes cannabis a lot. Perhaps this has helped give him an unrealistic take on the future too. I mean Josh Moore is hugely popular and still relatively young but I sense many are getting bored because he has been around 5 or 6 years and was a workaholic with frantic high levels of activity. After a while it feels more stale.

by Anonymousreply 20April 29, 2022 3:36 PM

Not sure I would say drama r20 but a while back Chris and Craig flirted on twitter and talked about collaborating with each other in future on Onlyfans. Initially the covid restrictions were a legitimate reason why that was logistically hard to pull off but as restrictions were lifted and other porn stars were travelling with ease to other country it became harden to explain away why it was never happening. There were some exchanges were it was clear that Craig believed it was Chris who was going to fly to the UK and then would include Craig as one of his Onlyfans shoots but Chris seemed to believe the understanding was Craig would travel to the US. At one point Craig indicated on twitter he can't go to the US because they have repeatedly declined him a visa and Chris strongly hinted Oh Craig I wonder why none of the other British pornstars have a problem getting a visa and you do. So to answer your question Chris seems to have guessed after he felt Craig's repeated stalling could not be explained away.

by Anonymousreply 21April 29, 2022 5:16 PM

R21 Thanks. Yeah, that makes sense. He would need a simple tourist visa to get in the US. So he either can't get one because of criminal record or something like that, or maybe he doesn't really want to shoot with Chris and is stalling by coming up with a poor excuse.

by Anonymousreply 22April 30, 2022 10:01 AM

Gay porn stars actually make most of their money from escorting. In reality it isn’t any different to what they do on camera. They are paid to have sex. But they can make much more selling the sex privately.

For me, that’s the bigger issue for them (as they age). Many start turning to drugs and as they get older their sexual services become cheaper and sleazier.

by Anonymousreply 23April 30, 2022 10:18 AM

R12 Exactly and that's why I don't think it's a great choice to enter porn at such a young age (Craig started last year at just 21!). It's a lot wiser to try at early 30s and milk the cow until you can. Also Onlyfans it's inevitably going to burst at some point. Even today the accounts who make big money are not that many. Most people on it just gain something to make ends meet, nothing groundbreaking. After a while even the content you make can bore fans and people, like Josh Moore or Sean Austin, so you either have great creativity or you are a legitimate porn ACTOR in real porn movies, which I hope they return seriously after the (hopeful) Onlyfans collapse.

by Anonymousreply 24April 30, 2022 10:20 AM

It seems to me that many porn actors nowadays have to fuck all the time. Some seem to make 1 to 4 videos a month for porn producers and then they seem to scurry around shooting at least 1 video a week that they control - with justfofans, onlyfans, etc.

by Anonymousreply 25April 30, 2022 10:33 AM

They seem to travel and make a video a day on their travels for onlyfans. If they are making more than 200 to 400 off each only fans video leading to monthly checks from Onlyfans, then they can avoid hustling. Which is even more grueling.

by Anonymousreply 26April 30, 2022 11:14 AM

r22 Going by rumours on the gayscene in the northwest of the UK I think its the former. Possibly something minor like a non custodial sentence for possession of drugs but something significant enough to blacklist him from receiving a visa. I think he is a bit of a grifter and this may show itself up in various criminal convictions. Also reading his tweets gives me the impression there are a number of american pornstars Craig would love to work with but if he can't meet them when they tour outside of their own country then it ain't happening me suspects.

r24 Good Post but there was chatter in another thread that Craig has entered porn business previously, then there was an unexplained gap and he reappeared which matches with speculation he disappeared due to legal problems during the gap and also most of his friends who seem like his peers seem older So I think Craig might be lying when he says he was born in 1999- more likely is 1995 or 1994.

From what I know, major studios are investing in models OnlyFans accounts, offering crossover models, free hotel rooms, and videographers and taking a percentage. Doing studio porn serves as a promotional tool, not to actually generate income.

by Anonymousreply 59May 18, 2022 10:11 PM

To continue from R59, most OnlyFans porn stars like Cade and Shabazz basically sold a “share” to major studios who want to cash in. That’s why their OnlyFans are so stellar because a studio is behind them. Which was bound to happen. That doesn’t mean there’s a lack of money, they’re getting an extra push from studios instead of doing it on their own.

There is an impression I am getting from information etc that I am aware of that he could sometimes be aggressive on the scene especially if maybe he was targetting someone for money and they weren't fully falling for his charm. Upset a few people badly is how I would describe it. So his police record blocking his travel to the US could be linked to aggressive behavior as well as maybe drugs and prostitution.

Former British porn actor and escort Daniel Johnson also know as Master Derek has a child. Allegedly one of former clients sent some of his porn videos to members of his family on Facebook and to the mother of his child. Allegedly this caused major problems with the mother of his child and for her to curtail Daniel's access to his child which in turn caused Daniel to quit porn and escorting alltogether. Daniel Johnson allegedly now has a non porn related job and supposedly has no intention of ever going back to porn.

r96 I wonder what those issues might be/are?

R98: Yeah, I think it’s weird that they are viewed by some as if they are akin to Hollywood celebrities. They are glorified prostitutes, likely even more psychologically fucked up than people who pursue acting, singing, modeling, etc.

Somehow they should get more respect over escorts because their paid sex is filmed? Prostitution is illegal unless you’re recording it with an iPhone? Porn performers are deluded if they think porn is a path to wealth. That’s a big if because I think many of them are just attention-hungry exhibitionists. Their opportunity to make money is brief since their shelf life is brief. And they have a lot of competition.

They have their loyal fanbases, but are largely ignored by the mainstream. When porn “stars” die, the media pays little attention to it. Unlike movie and TV stars, their deaths are not considered newsworthy. Their fame is more disposable than that of influencers and reality show celebs.

r105 A great many of them now really insist on being called sex workers and object with fury if you call them a prostitute insisting sex workers and prostitutes are completely different...!

r107 I have seen it on twitter and instagram posts numerous times.Someone posts a reply to someone doing porn on onlyfans saying stop thus taking yourself so seriously you are basically a prostitute and angry responses from the sex worker concerned and sometimes fellow sex workers joining in the twitter thread saying sex work is inclusive and different to prostitution?
