Porn fans love to speculate, debate, and bicker on adult-industry message boards, and a favorite subject lately—one which has generated several threads and hundreds of posts on adultdvdtalk.com and xxxporntalk.com—has been a male performer named Christian ( myspace.com /christianx33). He's a popular topic cum target of conversation and controversy because he has appeared in gay, heterosexual, and transsexual movies.

There's such a sharp division between these genres that gay and straight porn operate as entirely separate industries (with transsexual porn being a "fetish" within het porn and bisexual porn getting lumped with the gay stuff). There's an unspoken rule that a guy cannot work in both worlds. Sure, men have crossed over, most notably straight star Peter North, who worked briefly as Matt Ramsey in gay porn, and Jeff Stryker, a famous gay star who also made a few well-known straight titles. One exhaustive list, titled "Male Bisexuality in Porn," posted on the newsgroup rec.arts.movies.erotica (RAME) in 2002, names 100 other examples. However, not all of them are men who've had on-camera sex with both men and women. Also on the list are men who've had sex with transsexual women (including both pre-operative "she-males" and post-operative trans women), done solo jerk-off scenes that were included in videos marketed to gay men, and/or been fucked in the ass by women wearing strap-ons. While the list includes some boldface names (Jamie Gillis, John Holmes, Byron Long), the general consensus is that their choices were questionable at best. An extension of the unspoken no-crossing-the-lines rule is that if you do it, be discreet or you'll be blacklisted in both industries.

Among this generation of performers, Christian is notorious for not only playing both sides and then some, but for being completely open about it. I recently cast the 32-year-old Texan in a movie I directed after he was requested by several of the female performers, who raved about him. When I first met him, I thought he was a pretty imposing guy: At 6-5 with a shiny bald head and a tan, ripped body, he screams jock (no wonder: He competes in triathlons in his spare time). But when I got to know him, I found him to be down-to-earth, sweet, relaxed, and brutally honest. In fact, shortly after we met, he called me to the mat about my recent column "The Pinky Swear" (May 12, 2006) applauding Kurt Lockwood's strap-on debut. He reminded me that he's been doing strap-on scenes for years and has done more than a dozen. But his willingness to take it up the butt from a girl is not the only thing that sets him apart from most male performers. In his words, "I'm not the guy that says, 'No, I'd never do that.' I'd say, 'I don't give a shit, why not? Let's check it out.' The only thing I won't do is be violent towards women, beat them up, slap them, or call them names."

Let's rewind to 2000, when Christian was dating a porn star named Lovette and did his first on-camera sex scene with her for an amateur video company. He knew he'd found his calling and in 2003, he decided to do something about it. A rabid fan of Vivid's girl/girl features, he went online and e-mailed the person whose name he saw most often on the box covers of the movies he jerked off to: director Chi Chi LaRue. After seeing Christian's photo, LaRue promptly told him that he also directed gay movies for Falcon Studios. The inevitable question followed: "Have you ever considered doing gay porn?" Although Christian had never had sex with a guy before, the $2,000 paycheck for one scene—the equivalent of what he made in a month at his nightclub job—sounded too good to pass up. So, he flew to San Francisco and made a gay porno under the pseudonym Maxx Diesel.

After that one movie ("It was easy," he says. "Two guys blew me, they rode my dick, and I came"), Falcon offered him an exclusive contract. He thought to himself, "It was only five movies and a few signings; who'd find out?" His last film under contract was ironically called Getting It Straight, and Christian was featured on the box cover. Once he saw it, he knew the cat was out of the bag. "I'm not a very inconspicuous person," he told me. He meant, of course, that he knew his low-profile days were over. But his comment sums up both his physical appearance and his attitude.

After his last Falcon film, he decided he'd much rather fuck women for a living, and he began networking at the 2004 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, where he lived at the time. He landed a few jobs, then moved to Los Angeles and became a full-time straight porn star. He continued to push the envelope within the straight industry, appearing in transsexual movies, doing strap-on scenes, and playing the submissive role in female domination scenes. People began to criticize his choices, and what they said about him highlights one double standard at work in porn. When women fuck men and women, or do gang bangs, bukkakes, and other "non-traditional" acts on film, they're usually applauded as super-sluts. They are encouraged to push their limits, do freaky things, indulge their wild child. But men are held to a different standard. There are no such rewards for fucking outside the box.

Because Christian refuses to be just another piece of manmeat-for-hire, people love to take shots at him. Some message board posters like to alert people to his "past" (a past he's made no secret of and that is pretty well documented on the Internet). Others question his gender and sexual orientation, lob homophobic insults at him, and insist that knowing he's worked with men means they can't ever enjoy a straight scene of his again. A few caution female performers not to work with him because he's unsafe or support those women who have him on their "No" list because of his non-straight work. The same issues seem to be rehashed every few months, and the resulting dialogue—thoughtful, complex, offensive, stupid—can be infuriating. But it's also fascinating for what it reveals about double standards for performers, ideas about bisexuality, the instability of sexual identity, and hopefully, some changing attitudes within porn.

Good article, Christian sounds like a pretty cool guy. And $2000 for a porn scene!? Good grief, I currently work at a nightclub and that's a little more then I make a month, after 8 fricken years. Of course it is a pretty easy job, but still, it's pretty lousy money. Groan.

An interesting side note: Chi Chi LaRue got his start doing drag where I work. He was off to LA by the time I started, but I've heard the stories.

Anyhoo, Christian seems to be vangaurding the "who gives a fuck" attitude that hopefully will begin spreading in the porn scene. I can't see anything wrong with that.

And, most importantly, he's damn good at what he does. I first saw him in straight porn for Naughty America, and then kind of did the "holy shit I recognize that guy" when I saw him getting boned by Gia in a tranny film.

I say, more power to him. He's a great performer, so if he wants to cross the line, that's fine by me.

Thats the link to the thread on xxxporntalk.com about Christian, in case anyone was interested.

[flabbybody]

he does a lot of stuff for Grooby. I'm thinking his personal preference is tgirl scenes.

[GroobySteven]

Yeah we've used him quite a few times in US and UK - he has an excellent professional reputation and all the photographers as well as the models like working with him.
He definately seems to like the tgirls!
He's on this forum sometimes also so will probably read this thread.

[Phat]

I think I saw him in a scene with danielle fox, and maybe a couple of other trannies. That's gay that the industry is all divided.

Considering the content of this forum, I don't think the use of "gay" in that sense (i.e., meaning "bad") is so great. Indeed, that use of "gay" is disrespectful in any context, since it equates being gay as something bad.

Moving on to other matters concerning this thread, does anyone have any more pictures of Christian?

[dfwMale]

all i know is in rogue #27 he's with with txdoll - and i would of loved to trade places with him that day!

I'm glad the industry classifies tranny porn as hetero, sub-category:fetish.

guess that means we're not gay.

[Vicki Richter]

I love sex with Christian. He is my favorite adult male performer on and off screen.

[Vicki Richter]

I have given the guy shit before, and heard countless of the TS community bash him... but really he is a great performer and an ok guy...

True story, he was unsure if he wanted to go to mexico and shoot for sineplex with trannies becasue it was about 2 years ago and he was still a little concerned about it hurting his straight porn career...

Well Sineplex had me come down instead and make my debut with them... and it all went well... then they decided to use me again in russia for 30 straight scenes...

Now I am moving to saint petersburg Russia to actually live there with my fiance... soon to be wife...

So Christian baby... you are my number one guy... I am glad that you are getting a lot of good paying work and exclusive contracts... your on screen work merits it... and I expect to see you as the next ron jeremy or peter north...

I am officially retired from acting in adult films, and I am happy to say that I am coming away with one hell of a parting gift... although it seems like running 3 websites, directing and shooting videos, and hiring models is nt exactly a vacation...

Is that Holly? Holly is moving to Russia? Interesting.

Of course that's not Holly Sweet. Goofball. At least I don't think it is.

Keep up to speed, blondie.

Christian's cock feels so good in my ass and mine feels so good in his. We could love each other forever. I know he would but he is afraid I would kick his ass at WoW.

She's still playing DOD online, I'm sure. I might be wrong, I never got past clubbing slimes.

I was going to buy that at one time, but I decided that I was still boycotting Turbine. You see, I played Asheron's Call (first 1) and I'm still raw about how they treated it.
When they come out with MEO (Middle Earth Online) I'm probably gonna have to forgive them.

But for the time being, Guild Wars is a pretty good MMO, especially when you figure in that it's free per month.


How do you like DDO though Vicki?

[hondarobot]

We've talked a few times on myspace and he is such a nice guy, in addition to being such a pleasure to look at.

I'm sure he probably is a very nice guy.

The blonde girl is mine, there is some work required on my part.

:evil:

[hwbs]

he was at one of the parties a couple months ago ....girls seemed to go crazy for him there
