According to reports on Perfil, a new academy for aspiring adult film stars – aptly named the “Porn University” – is officially open for business. Started up by Italian porn actor and director Rocco Siffredi (aka. the original “Italian Stallion”), the academy will offer to teach actors and actresses all the tricks of a famously treacherous trade. And, for a little extra bonus, all the training will be documented for a special Italian TV show, “Universita del Porno”. The porn veteran – who has somehow appeared in over 1300 adult movies, including Total Reball and Buttman & Rocco’s Brazilian Butt Fest – will hold a variety of classes that teach all the techniques that are needed to become a believable porn star. For example, how to keep calm in front of a camera, how to talk dirty, and how to work the positions that look best on screen. Unfortunately, this sort of top quality training doesn't come easy: only 21 hopefuls (seven women and 14 men) out of thousands of applicants will be selected at each time. “I want people to know my way of working,” explains Siffredi. “I have a normal life, for many perhaps too normal. I do not forget where I come from. Fame did not make me lose touch with reality.” Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREWhy did Satan start to possess girls on screen in the 70s?Learn the art of photo storytelling and zine making at Dazed+Labs8 essential skate videos from the 90s and beyond with Glue SkateboardsThe unashamedly queer, feminist, and intersectional play you need to seeParis artists are pissed off with this ‘gift’ from Jeff KoonsA Seat at the TableVinca Petersen: Future FantasySnarkitecture’s guide on how to collide art and architectureBanksy has unveiled a new anti-weapon artworkVincent Gallo: mad, bad, and dangerous to knowGet lost in these frank stories of love and lossPreview a new graphic novel about Frida Kahlo
