Leo Giamani...

This guy created a lot of debate about various subjects... Bareback(unprotected sex), stars who escort, and of course G4P

I don't personally know this person and am hesitant to rant about him as such. But since I've posted on various blogs relating to this man I have to bring him up.

I've followed his career the past couple of months. First, He appeared on Jake Cruise barebacked a few times and appeared on the sister site: straight guys for gay eyes, where he had sex with female performer. Later, he appeared on another site in a group scene, were I don't see a condom.

I must admit I was intrigued by him and did my research. I ended finding a profile for a San Diego escort business - where "Leo" was listed. I'm not actively looking for escorts, mind you, but a random google image search showed results from this escort profile. I didn't think much of it, and accepted it as no different then a porn actor on film having sex for money.

What ended up bothering me is the fact he has on multiple sites indicated his orientation as Straight. After a series of articles, the first which is a fellow actor complaining of Leo's bareback background, I began to be infuriated.

The latter actor will remain nameless, because my Beef isn't entirely about him OR for that matter, Leo too.

I merely bring this up as how I began my road towards complete disgust over G4P.

this Post from the forms over at another porn blog should explain:

This is Leo Giamani responding to the posts:

I would first like to thank all of my fans for all of your support and appreciation. I would like to make it clear that I get tested every 30 days and am 100% disease free. I would also like everyone to be aware that I have not done any bareback scenes in over 100 days. I am very educated, more than most people in this business. I actually have a Bachelor’s in chemistry and did very well on the MCAT’s. I could easily go to medical school if I wanted. I want everyone to be aware that I will never do any type of bareback scene again. I want everyone to know that I always use condoms in my personal life. In additon, I have only performed bareback sex in videos which were done with disease free models whose tests were recent and verified. I am being honest and I know my true fans already know most of what I said. If anyone would like to contact me directly, please feel free to email me at anytime. Thank you and Happy new year to all

So I read this and the flood gates open... I'm in complete frustration and anger.

Why am I being this way... cause' I'm fed up and tired of just the lies that have to be told for people. Why can't we be honest? Notice there is no e-mail provided, so I can't ask him personally about I few things. So I post a couple comments in this article.

I feel this latest one is reflective of what I want to say...

"I’m not expecting porn to be PC, but sometimes it can get pretentious. Which is the majority of why I can’t stand it - first leo is a cop, then a fireman, then a smarty pants chem student. First he’s straight, then he’s bi - guess those actors who are “straight” or “Bi” will have less chance of carrying HIV. Maybe it’s that line of reasoning for G4P: for actors who are very active and have a lot of partners are more likely bug chasing - and want to get jobs and higher pay, so be “straight” and get them.

Everybody is just trying to make a buck… I get it and don’t fault Leo for it. I just feel people aren’t owning up to who they are. Which why Porn can be pretentious.

Maybe it’s the concept what a “fantasy” and/or appealing to the masses. But again, it’s porn so why bother - people are going to buy it regardless.

Like I said, I think these guys are stating they are straight only to make extra $$(I’ve heard “straight” actors get paid more and get more jobs). Just look at Leo, this guy was an escort and had bareback sex on several occasions and with multiple partners - reasons I cannot believe he is heterosexual. Most people feel repeating sexual behavior indicates your preference. Also, He bottoms - what straight guy would bottom, OR EVEN FUCK A GUY? The only reason I think Leo would suggest this is that because it would bulk up his career and maintain the image that he is someone less likely to carry diseases - Which, like Leo, people in the escort profession statistically are more likely to catch the disease. (Since stats on heterosexuals catching HIV/Aids are lower)

Plus, we know of stories of straight people experimenting, and were completely unsatisfied with the experience. Those people can live out the rest of their lives without having to repeat the experience to know that they are straight. These actors are very contrary to this “experimenting phase” being they are continuously fucking a lot of men for their profession.

I also heard that an Porn star’s orientation can be used as a bargaining tactic: If/When those G4P actor bottom they will get a bigger payout since “it’s considered their first time and it’s not natural to them.”

I feel It’s sad that actors will consider being known publicly as a porn star ( which essentially is a whore) is better then being gay… it speaks to were our culture is at, how sad."



No, I haven't heard any response from Leo about his background. Frankly, to someone like him it wouldn't matter. I imagine that most porn stars to a certain varied degree have to be narcissists - so why would Leo? see narcissists section below. I even watched a documentary about gay porn actors... One of them, I believe Jason Ridge, admitted to masturbating to his own films. Aaron James on Tyra (Talk Show) admitted to watching his homemade porno's before having sex on set. So this whole post about Leo mentioning his intellegence kind of reinforces my viewpoint. It's no different then Aaron or Jason jacking to the images of themselves... pure ego.

Narcissists do not have the ability to see you as an individual who has feelings and are independent of them, you are an extention of them, they have no empathy or really caring ability. They only care about what they want at that time and will discard, poke and kick, smack anyone who gets in their way and throw them against the wall when they are done without thought nor care.

So clearly my viewpoint will not make a damn difference to people in the industry. Which goes back to why I'm blogging a dead horse... I want viewers of the material to think about how this effects them and the world around them. I want viewers to stop perpetuating this material.

  1. Kind of begs the question, though: what is gay, and what is straight? If we look at the two things as being mutually exclusive, isn't that a bit unrealistic? I can understand where the hypocrisy comes in and such, but still...
