 He tops, he bottoms, he’s sex on legs: porn superstar Jarod Steel has Barry Lowe waxing lyrical.
It takes a lot to get my jaded old appetite hardening over gay porn these days. I put it down to galloping old age, while friends and enemies alike put it down to the fact I won’t put my glasses on when I’m attempting to watch TV and as a result everything is a blur.
Well, I have found a new indulgence. Young blond twink Jarod Steel. You want the statistics upfront before I wax lyrical? He was born April 17, 1986, has brown eyes, is 193cm tall (6’4”) and has a 20cm (8”) circumcised dick. But that’s just the icing.
This guy is sex on legs. He tops and bottoms and he does it with twinks and oldies – he actually prefers older, hairier men – and is equally at home with watersports (and I don’t mean swimming), leather, kink and vanilla. Jarod Steel lives up to his name. Not that it was always his name. He began his career with the pissy nom de porn Carter Longway. Hmm, I wonder what drugs they were on when they came up with that one?
As Carter he played a jerking soda jerk in Starting Young 2, before moving on to two superior Falcon films: a blond three-way in Dripping Wet and literally rolling in the hay with Roman Heart and Ken Browning in Riding Hard.
In 2006 he abandoned not only movie condoms, but also jettisoned his name for the more outré Jarod Steel, and his popularity soared when he was featured on the cover of Hot Desert Knights’s Raw Retreat. He was a shot in the bank balance for a studio whose product had been slipping in excitement in the previous twelve months or so.
Jarod flip-flopped his way from movie to movie as well as from studio to studio, the titles of his films getting as raunchy as the young star’s onscreen activity: Dungeon Gang Bang,Palm Spring Sluts, and Jarod Steel’s Buckets of Cum, of which one critic said: “sounds like the title of a movie Roger Corman would produce had he ventured into gay porn production, and [it] features near non-stop bottoming from Steele.”
As with all performers in the industry his last name occasionally attracts an aberrant ‘e’, making him ‘Steele’, but whatever way you spell it Jarod was dubbed the Bareback Twink Porn Star of 2007 despite competition from Europeans such as Alex Stevens and Thomas Dyk.
Last year Jarod took a step into the porn tech future with My Virtual Twink – one scene shot with two cameras. Woody reviewed it thus: “You can decide if you want to watch the top or the bottom ... cool. If you are a size queen, and have a big screen TV, you can watch both views at one time – this was my absolute favourite. I like to see the bottom’s face as he gets fucked (especially when he’s as cute as Jarod Steel).”
What is it that clicks with an audience? In Jarod’s case, it’s his tight twink body, his bubble butt, his insatiable sexual appetite and the sheer pleasure he seems to be getting and giving in his sex scenes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a porn actor smiling while having sex. And that’s something that’s hard to fake.
