'100 Percent' Straight Former Soldier Makes Lucrative Living As Gay Adult Film Actor

'100 Percent' Straight Former Soldier Makes Lucrative Living As Gay Adult Film Actor

'I did look into straight porn. In gay porn there's way less competition, and there's no money in straight porn'

A former soldier who is '100 percent straight' is now earning a lucrative living as a gay porn actor.

Daniel McGraffin, from Newcastle - who goes by the porn name Geordie Jackson - can earn up to £1,000 ($1,282) a day in the industry, and his girlfriend, Freya, has no problems with how he makes his money.

Explaining his unconventional career path on Channel 5 documentary The Sex Business: Swinging Both Ways, Mr McGraffin said he spent six years in the artillery, driving vans down to tanks. However, he eventually 'snapped' and went absent without leave, serving eight months in military prison.

He then began working as a personal trainer and a DJ, and it was while he was behind the decks that he had a conversation that would send his career trajectory off on an unorthodox tangent.

He said: "When I was working as a DJ, there was a fan of mine, a girl, who worked as a dominatrix. She tells me about this guy, she says he's 'totally straight but does gay porn'."

Mr McGraffin dipped his toes in the industry with a short shoot, making £750 ($960), which piqued his interest in working in gay porn. He subsequently landed himself a three-year contract with Lucas Entertainment and hasn't looked back.

Mr McGraffin said working as a gay porn actor is the best way he can make money legally.

He said: "I did look into straight porn. In gay porn there's way less competition, and there's no money in straight porn.

"Lucas Entertainment are the biggest gay porn company in the world. For a straight guy, there's way more money in gay porn."

Freya said people often assume that her boyfriend must be bisexual, if not gay, but she isn't bothered by what other people think.

She said: "It's fake. People say he must be a little bit gay.

"When he gets back [from a shoot], he doesn't want to think about anyone with a d***.

"If it was straight porn, he would be attracted to the people he was working with. So in theory it's still the same, but there he would be potentially attracted to them, but that risk isn't there because it's full of men that he doesn't think are fit.

"People can sit at home and think he's gay, but he's not, so whatever."

Mr McGraffin also said he wasn't fussed by what other people think and said he was only in the business for the money.

He said: "People outside the industry think I must be gay. They don't know the tricks of the trade. They say, 'You look like you're enjoying it.' And I say, 'Thanks, that means I'm a good actor.'

"If I was gay, and it's out there to the world, why wouldn't I come out?

"I'm not in it for pleasure, regardless of what anyone thinks. I'm in it because it's a well paid job, and I'm not going to make that kind of money, legally, anywhere else."
