One of the big guns -- or should that be big schlongs -- of gay porn is calling it quits. Well, sort of.
Michael Lucas said his days of fucking on camera will officially come to an end in 2020. And why not? By then, he'll have been doing it for a whopping 24 years!
So why wait to 2020 to stop?
"It’s a nice year,"
he told Michael Musto. "It’s round. It’s a good year to stop. I think I will do more this year and then I will stop. I currently do lots of amateur videos for two platforms: [JustForFans and OnlyFans]. I started doing it as a joke, just posting a couple of homemade videos, and I was surprised that it actually took off and now brings good money without much of an effort. So I decided to do it for another year. It’s easy money and I can use it.
"But I am getting tired of filming myself having sex and looking all the time for partners who don’t mind being filmed. I love sex, but it is much more fun to do it without the cameras and I want to recover this pleasure before I become an automaton."
But he isn't leaving the biz completely. He will continue to direct and produce.
"My main achievement was not that I was a performer, but that I became a studio head. I opened a company that is very, very successful and I’ve managed to actually keep it since 1998."
Of course, 24 years in the porn world means Lucas is sure to have lots of tales to tell. And some of those stories may eventually come out.
"I want to [write a memoir]. There is a book that someone wrote about me and people think it’s a biography. It’s not. It was terribly written, called Naked. People say, 'It’s a great book that you wrote' and it gets on my nerves. I gave a series of interviews, about 20, to a writer. I would like something better to be out there. He was writing about how great I am, and that’s incredibly boring, and who cares about my childhood?"
