Adult film star shares the secret trick 'every' porn actor uses before filming

An adult film star has shared the secret trick he reckons ‘every’ porn actor uses.

And look, while they may keep it a secret, it might not necessarily be a surprise because let’s be honest, who can expect them to keep it all going so much naturally?

Yeah, I’m talking about adult stars seeking a bit of help from the likes of Viagra.

Many porn stars have been open about the use of the ‘steroids of porn’ in their workplaces, and Dan Leal claims they’re all at it.

Drugs like Viagra are used by the likes of the NHS to help treat those with erectile dysfunction, but in the adult industry, it can be just as helpful for them to get things up more easily and, in some of their opinions, more impressively.

Also known as Porno Dan, Leal has worked both behind and in front of the camera and is widely regarded as an absolute veteran of pornography.

So, it’s fair to say he’s seen and knows a hell of a lot.

He claimed to LADbible Stories: “Every single porn performer is on performance enhancing drugs, everybody. I’ve done 3000 scenes, I’ve never done a scene without having at least something in my system. From horny goat weed to cialis to Viagra.”

For those not quite as in the know with the porn industry, Leal explains that horny goat weed was what was taken ‘before Viagra existed’, but can’t quite say what it actually is.

From the plant Barrenwort, it’s traditionally used as an aphrodisiac as it’s claimed to help increase blood flow and improve sexual function.

Cialis is also a brand of erectile dysfunction medication that helps men to get and maintain erections more easily – essentially meaning actors can work more quickly and well, efficiently.

However, Leal does point out that there are plenty of side effects to having such frequent use of these ‘performance enhancing drugs’.

Haven taken ‘tons’ of Viagra himself, he says he ended up developing ‘eye problems’.

“Because I had the capilliaries on the back of my eyes, from all the Viagra, got messed up." he said. “I’m lucky it was just my eyes. But I have some of my friends that are male performers, their penis no longer functions because they’ve injected it so many times.”

He estimates: “Probably 95 per cent of male performers all inject their d*ck before they do a porn scene.”

And like with many drugs, there is also the possibility that people may become addicted to using drugs and have lasting consequences. It is recommended not to use Viagra more than once a day.
