Top 7 Careers for Gay Porn Stars

Conventional wisdom dictates that doing porn will ruin your chances of ever being able to do anything besides escorting or becoming a house boy for some rich fag in the Hollywood Hills, but I beg to differ! I've rounded up seven lucrative post-porn careers.

7. DJ
Chi Chi's been doing it for years, but what better way to getting your orgy started right than with a bona fide leather-jockstrap-clad porn star spinning? Punky porno pup Dominic Pacifico is making major inroads as the pioneer in the field with DJPornstars, but no doubt you can expect many more to follow suit in no time.

6. Massage Therapist
I realize differentiating between escorting and massaging is like splitting hairs, but it doesn't have to be all rub-n-squirt. I've personally been rubbed down by Michael Soldier and he didn't even touch me "down there" (besides, he charges extra for "erotic" massage). Jake Deckard does legit massages too, (so what if he insists on doing them in the nude?) Check out Jake's Body Works for an appointment.

5. Babysitter
It may come as a shock to some, but Chad Douglas, one of the most legendary, horsehung tough-talking tops of all time, was really more of the sensitive voracious bottom-type when the cameras stopped rolling. Rumors abound that he was so squeamish about assholes that Chuck Holmes had to stand in and fingerbang Kevin Williams in In Your Wildest Dreams.

Knowing this makes it somewhat easier to swallow that at least one parent trusted Chad to look after their children. The lucky kid -- all grown up -- wrote about it in a recent issue of Vice Magazine (link comes via TimAndRomaBlog). Maybe there was something to his "Uncle Chad" character in Spring Break after all ...

4. Real Estate Agent
Raging Stallion played with the idea of humping your real estate agent in Hot Properties, but art imitates life. Tag Eriksson's career as a top (nyuk nyuk!) producing Manhattan real estate agent made was front page news (in Swedish airline magazines). But mega-dream Eric Hanson is a Realtor, too. I once even got stalkerish and called him under the false pretense that I was looking for a pied a terre in North Miami. True story.

3. Landscape Architect
Venerable hunk Marcus Iron is one of porn's most dependable a-list stars and when I saw him show up as a landscape archetect on HGTV's "Curb Appeal", I was so shocked I took this (admittedly crappy) picture of the screen:

2. Attorney
Prolific over-actor Brad Benton was never the least bit secretive about doing porn to pay for law school. Now that he's graduated and starting practicing, he may officially be the first gay porn star to do so (though it's hard to see how he has the time since he scored a role as a vampire in the here! straight-to-PPV series The Lair. Since most people think lawyers are just bloodsuckers anyway I guess he's, like, getting work experience, plus he can always fall back on practicing law full time when if the show gets canceled.

1. Interior Decorator

Who'd-a-thunk that Pete Kuzak -- one of the butchest COLT men of all time -- would have ended up in a profession as, er, artistic as an as interior decorator? John Rutherford recently caught up with Pete on his blog, and even dug up this clip of him from (again) HGTV. I would have never recognized the guy in the below clip was the same person in the picture to the left, but who am I to argue with John Rutherford?
