Adult star who made ‘Pornhub’s most viewed video’ shares how industry has impacted sex life

Warning: This article contains sexual references which some readers may find distressing

Alex Adams is the man ‘behind the camera’ for some major hits of the adult industry, largely featuring in content himself.

And in 2023, Stella Barey sat down with him for a Q+A on YouTube, lovingly referring to him as her ‘stepdad’ and the ‘stepdad of the internet’.

He previously made a video that’s listed as ‘most viewed’ on Pornhub with a whopping 222 million views.

The OnlyFans creator asked him a number of questions for her channel, as he admitted he does ‘not really’ believe in soulmates as the pair say they ‘stay updated’ on each other’s videos and content.

Adams said he started doing ‘sexy videos’ over a decade ago, but at that point hadn’t been hugely open about his bisexuality.

He admitted making gay porn ‘in Florida’ was a turning point for him as he also opened up about the impact of making content on his sex life.

Adams said he decided the fear people ‘might judge’ him wasn’t a ‘good enough reason to not’ feature in adult videos with other men.

“Sometimes I felt kinda weird for a while,” about working in the industry he said. “Because I felt like, ‘oh they are judging me’ but then I kind of realised, people are going to judge you no matter what. Anything you do, people will judge you – it’s unavoidable.

“So it’s better to be like, ‘Are you okay with yourself? Are you okay with what you’re doing?’”

Adams went on to say that while he was ‘cool’ doing some ‘fetish’ and in his opinion, more ‘strange’ content in the early years of carer, it wasn’t something he would ‘personally’ have ‘tried or wanted to do’.

“But I wondered, ‘Am I going to become a weird sex freak person from doing all this weird stuff and getting pegged and stuff?’” he continued.

While he joked that ‘yes it did happen’, he clarified: “But no, like I thought ‘at this rate, this crazy sh*t I’m doing, I'm gonna have to wear full latex suits and be hanging upside down to be able to like, bust a nut’.”

However, Adams said this ‘never happened’ and while maybe it does for some, it had an opposite effect on his sex life in reality.

“I got kind of, a little bit more vanilla.”

He continued: “I just feel like a normal guy, I don’t feel much different from a normal dude. Just a lot of normal dudes don’t really…”

But importantly, he doesn’t feel any ‘shame’ about his content.
