A male adult performer has spilt the beans on a not-so-little “industry secret” – one that, according to some insiders, you’d “never know about” unless someone straight-up told you. Well, consider yourself told.
Apparently, a growing number of dudes in porn are skipping the little blue pills and going straight for the nuclear option: surgery.
Yep, there’s a whole quiet wave of male performers getting implants in their junk so they can stay hard through those marathon shoots, and chances are, unless you’re deep in the biz, you’d have no idea it was even a thing.
Porn stars Lena Paul and Abella Danger aren’t shy about it either. They’ve talked about this trend of guys packing surgical steel downstairs, casually dropping the bomb that “so many guys in porn have mechanical d***s.” (Let that sink in for a second. Mechanical.)
One of those cyborg-soldiers of sex is Dallas Steele – real name Jim Walker – who’s gone full Terminator in the trousers and isn’t afraid to talk about it.
Back in 2021, he got real on The Gay Goods podcast, detailing exactly how you turn a regular penis into a part-time robot.
“It’s normally about a 90 minute procedure where they go in and the tissues inside the penis that would normally house blood, they hollow some of those out, make room for the cylinders, insert two polyurethane into the penis, and then a pump and release valve in the lower scrotum, and then a reservoir deep in your abdomen,” Steele said.
Sounds like IKEA instructions for a cyborg schlong, but okay.
“The reservoir contains the saline, you’ll never see the reservoir, it’s deep inside. The only part you might see is maybe the pump depending on the angle you’re in but mostly not.”
Stealth mode activated.
Not even Steele could sugarcoat the recovery process. Apparently, after surgery, everything swells to the point where, in his own words, “you can’t see anything down there”, which is both medically concerning and a little bit tragic for someone in his line of work.
His doctor told him “no sex for at least four weeks,” which honestly sounds like cruel and unusual punishment for a porn star. Steele added that “it hurts too much to touch”, which is really not the kind of vibe you want from your bits post-upgrade.
Lena Paul summed it up best when she said more male performers were opting for “robot penises” to ditch the injections. (Her words, not ours. But also, 10/10 description.)
Steele says he took the plunge after struggling since age 27. Sometimes the ED meds worked, “sometimes they didn’t” and in the porn world, inconsistency isn’t cute.
He even recounted meeting a guy at a “sex party” (because of course) who asked him if he wanted to “maintain an erection forever” then jabbed him in the dick with a needle full of Trimix. Friendly guy, that one.
Once Steele went pro, he found himself taking up to “three or four” Trimix injections a day just to stay hard through eight- or nine-hour shoots. That’s not stamina, that’s suffering. As he put it, he was “miserable” and in so much pain by the end of filming that “you just want it to be over.”
So yeah, he got the implant, and no surprise, he told Men’s Health in 2022 that his only regret was “not doing this sooner.”
“Knowing I can perform anytime, no matter what, has completely changed my outlook as a man,” he said.
I guess you can say that these mechanical d***s are changing lives, one erection at a time.
