My man, he’s a good lookin’ fella, ain’t he? But he does that, you know, that movie stuff. That kind where they, well, they don’t wear no clothes. Yeah, that’s right. My man, he’s a porn star husband. People always askin’, “How’s that like, huh? How’s that like?” I just tell ’em, it’s like anythin’ else, I reckon. Just a job, you know? But a bit different, I guess. Some folks think it’s weird. Some folks think it’s cool. I just think it is what it is.
He’s a good man, though. Takes care of me. Brings home the bacon, so to speak. Even though he’s a porn star husband, he’s still just a man. A hard worker. Not that kind of hard, you dirty bird! He works hard at that movie makin’, though. Long hours, they tell me. He brings home the money, that’s the important thing.
Folks think it’s all glamorous, bein’ a porn star husband. Ha! It ain’t always easy, I tell ya. Sometimes I get a little, you know, jealous. He’s off there with all them pretty ladies. But he always comes home to me. Says I’m the only one for him. And I believe him. He is a good husband, most of the time. He brings me flowers sometimes. Not always, but sometimes. And he always kisses me goodnight, even after a long day of makin’ those movies. That’s what matters, right?
- He’s always been a looker, that one. Even back when we was young, all the girls liked him.
- He’s got a good heart, though. Always helpin’ folks out.
- He works hard, you know. People think that job is easy, but it ain’t.
- We don’t talk about it much. It’s just his job. Like some folks work in a factory, he works in, well, you know.
- He’s a good provider. That’s what counts in the end, ain’t it?
It ain’t always easy, though. People talk. They stare. Sometimes they whisper. I just ignore them. It’s not their life, it is our life. I don’t need their permission to love my husband. They can think what they want. They don’t know him like I do. They don’t see him after a long day, tired and wantin’ to be home. They don’t see how much he cares. He’s more than just a porn star husband. He’s my husband.
Some days, it’s hard, though. I see him on the, you know, the screen. And it’s like, is that really him? But then he comes home, and he’s just my man again. The one I love. He takes out the trash. He helps me with the dishes. He’s just a regular guy, most of the time. Except when he’s doin’ that movie stuff, of course.
Most interviewees, they say they can separate their work and their life. My man, he’s good at that. He leaves that movie stuff at work. When he’s home, he’s just my husband. We watch TV. We eat dinner. We live a normal life, for the most part. We don’t have a lot, but we have each other. And that’s enough. It’s always been enough for us.
I reckon some folks think it is all about the sex. But it ain’t. We still got our love life, don’t you worry. But it is more than that. It’s about bein’ there for each other. Through thick and thin. He’s my porn star husband, yeah, but he’s also my best friend. He makes me laugh. He makes me cry sometimes, too, but mostly laugh. And he’s a good man. A real good man. Even if other folks don’t think so. He is good to me. He is a good dad. Yes, he is a good dad too. We have kids. They know what he does, but we don’t talk much about it. They love him no matter what.
So, what’s it like bein’ married to a porn star husband? It’s just like being married to anyone else, I reckon. There’s good days and bad days. There’s ups and downs. But through it all, there’s love. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it? Love and trust. That’s what makes a marriage. Not what your man does for a livin’. It is what’s in his heart that matters. And his heart, it’s a good one. A real good one. He might be a porn star husband to the world, but to me, he’s just my husband. And I wouldn’t trade him for anythin’. Not for all the money in the world.
