Peter North (born Alden Brown on May 11, 1957)[4][5] is a Canadian pornographic actor, director and producer of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.[4]

Like many pornographic stage names, North's name is a pun: "Peter" is a common slang term for a penis,[6][7][8][9] so "Peter North" most likely refers to an erection.[9] The name "North" may also refer to his Canadian or northern roots.[10]

[edit] Biography and career

North is originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and attended James Lorimer Ilsley High School, then moved to California in 1982.[5][11] Thousands of dollars in debt, he entered the porn business at age 24 to make money.[4] He states that he "entered the adult business in the spring of 1984 by accident. I was approached to do it but never really contemplated it or even thought I would be in the adult business."[5] In a 1996 interview published in North's hometown newspaper, the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, he stated that he was "discovered" while modeling athletic wear at a private party in Los Angeles in the early 80's. A man within the adult industry, who North did not name, attended the party, was impressed by North's physique, and gave him his business card.

North is most noted for his ability to produce very large amounts of semen[12] and for his powerful cum shots; he has averaged 8-10 ejaculations per climax since the start of his career in the porn industry three decades ago.[10] Peter North has stated that his ejaculations have always been of a high volume and that he didn't know it was above the norm until he began his career in the porn industry.[13] At the climax of sex scenes, North's ejaculations can last 20 seconds and upwards of a half minute.[10] According to pornography scholar Stephen Strager, North's stage name, like that of many other male pornographic actors, "expresses the controlling man-as-penis metaphor while precisely articulating the masturbator’s big-dick fantasies."[14]

North is circumcised,[15] and is known for having an exceptionally large penis both in length and girth.[16][17] Many porn starlets have attested to these facts, particularly Savannah, Kaitlyn Ashley,[18] Nikita Denise and Jewel De'Nyle. The size of North's penis, reported to be 8.5 inches (21.6 cm) in length by 6 inches (15 cm) in girth, is amongst the largest of all current male porn stars, as claimed by female co-stars Kelly O'Dell, Harmony, and others.[19][20] North has appeared in well over 1,000 pornographic movies.[4]

North became involved in the government's 1986 investigation of Traci Lords' underage involvement in the industry.[10] Lords was underage when she made most of her movies, including some sex scenes with North.[4][21] The government eventually dropped the investigation.[10] He has also directed more than 70 movies (notably, his North Pole and Anal Addicts series), and produced over 20 movies, including 15 in the North Pole series.[4]

North dated fellow porn actress Jewel De'Nyle for over two years.[22] Over this period, De'Nyle performed in many scenes with North for movies of the North Pole series, i.e, North Pole 4-10, and 13.

In 1994, Peter North released a guide to meeting and dating beautiful women called Penetrating Insights. Its purpose is to help the reader meet more women.[23] The book also includes tips on everything from grooming to personal health. He is well known for being in excellent physical shape, even as he enters his fifties.[citation needed]. He is a workout buff.[24] Legendary pornstar Christy Canyon confirmed a longstanding rumor in her 2003 porn autobiography Lights, Camera, SEX!, revealing that North does not like to have his hair touched during a scene, as it causes him to lose his concentration.[25]

North is a member of both the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) and the Adult Video News (AVN) Hall of Fame.[26]

[edit] Gay porn start

Early on in his career under the pseudonym Matt Ramsey, Peter made more than a dozen gay porn movies in which he topped and even 'bottomed' for some of the largest male talent in the porn industry (most notoriously 'Humongous' Rick Donovan in The Bigger the Better).[27] Despite seeming to enjoy himself in these performances, North has at times denied having done so, then admitted it (but stated - although it is clearly untrue - that an anal stunt double was used) and then began to simply refuse to discuss it. In recent years North has confirmed that he did perform in these films. He says he only performed in gay films for the money since he was thousands of dollars in debt at the time. He has been quoted as saying: "It was not a part of my sexuality at all. I was only able to do it because of my strong mind and my physical ability to have control over my own body."[4] [28]
