A gay porn star can take up for 48 hours to start getting ready before showing up to film a scene. “Two days before I try not to have sex, or if I do, I don’t cum, so I can cum more for the cum shot in the scene.” “Before you shoot a scene you need to work out, watch what you eat and get enough sleep so you look good on camera,” said German porn star Hans Berlin. Hans admits that he often jerks off and edges before he films a scene. The morning of a shoot Hans has a very set routine. A lot of the times I just try to get up and have a relaxed start to the day. I pretty much just eat protein shakes and bars.” If I’m bottoming there will be a douche routine.

Once on set Hans explains that it’s very relaxed. He’ll go through costume fittings, last minute touch-ups and do the still photos. Gay porn star, Levi Karter, has a similar schedule and routine. “I go on a run and do a light cardio workout. You wouldn’t eat any carbs, instead a lot of protein so you’re not blocked up.” If you’re versatile or a bottom, you need to change your diet the night before and day of. In the morning Levi will have a shower and get on location. He prefers to have body oil put on so it shows off his muscles and tattoos. “We start off with doing some still photos, solo first, and then into couples shots,” explains Levi Karter.
