Best Male Porn Directors
For many years, the film industry was seen as a boys’ club for filmmakers. The pornographic film business has been greatly influenced by a number of talented male filmmakers. Whether you enjoy gay or straight porn, there is a list of outstanding male porn directors that deserve recognition. Regardless of their individual techniques or genres, Adult B2B Marketing has put up a list of the top 10 male porn directors who have all made significant contributions to the porn business.
Mike Quasar
First place goes to Canadian-born, self-described reluctant porn director Mike Quasar. In the 1990s, he created almost a thousand pornographic films, most famously the “2 Young to Fall in Love” series. Known for his humor, sense of community, and enthusiasm for speaking out against the path of porn, he is a well-known voice in the porn business. After taking a break during COVID-19 to focus on his band and YouTube videos, he is back at work as Mile High Movies’ sole director, creating new films.
Mike Adriano
Mike Adriano is an actor and porn director who was born in Spain and is known as the “king of porn.” His outrageous pornographic films that feature a lot of anal sex have won him awards for outstanding director at the AVN, XBIZ, and XRCO festivals. His movies are somewhat long, heavily lubricant-heavy, and graphically emphasize the only physical aspects of sex.
Jim Powers
Jim Powers is the person to go to if you’re searching for someone who has experienced it all. He started in the 1990s after a series of unfortunate filming situations helped him establish his footing. With films like Girlvert, Trans Education 2, and Perverted Stories, to mention a few, he continues to dominate the porn market today. The controversial porn filmmaker is known for his explorations of race, gender, and savage sex when he directs movies for JM Productions and his production business Powerhouse. He also exhibits aggressive sexual behavior and adds a punk rock, Ramones-esque aesthetic to his films.
Buck Adams
Buck Adams (1955–2008), a professional boxer, was exposed to porn by his sister Amber Lynn before turning to it in the 1980s. He started out as an actor before he became a filmmaker in 1988 with the film Squirt. He was bestowed with honors from both the XRCO and AVN Halls of Fame, having won many acting AVN Awards during the 1990s. Despite having graphic sexual scenes taken out before the movie’s distribution for the adult market, filmmaker Adams received an AVN nomination for Best Film for his high-profile HBO release Uninhibited, which was produced by Antigua Pictures. Unfortunately, after battling heart illness for years, he passed away in 2008 in the company of his loved ones.
Rocco Siffredi
With more than 30 years of expertise, Rocco Siffredi is a contemporary male porn director, producer, and performer. Nicknames for him include “Italian Stallion” and “King of Hardcore.” With movies like The Rocco Experience, it’s hardly surprising that he made our list of the top 10 male porn filmmakers. Alongside actresses like Eden Ivy and Valentina Nappi, he produces and stars in a number of gangbang, anal, extreme, and violent sex films.
John Stagliano, aka “Buttman”
The most well-known roles that American businessman John Stagliano has played are those of an adult performer in the past and director of the Evil Angel production company. After graduating from college in the 1960s, he started writing erotic fiction and worked as a stripper in the 1970s. In the 1980s, he contributed to the rise in popularity of the gonzo porn genre with the Buttman Adventure series, which by 2003 had spawned almost thirty films and five comic books. He became the most important character in the American adult market very quickly. He has been honored for his films over the years, winning the Man of the Year XBIZ Award in 2011 and being nominated for XBIZ Director of the Year in 2013 for Voracious.
James Avalon

Since then, he has directed over 350 movies, and as of 2023, he is still working. Among his best-known pieces are A Little Part of Me, Fantasy Ltd., and Les Vampyres.
Miles Long
Given his impressive portfolio, which comprises roles as a director, photographer, producer, cameraman, performer, and record label owner, is it any wonder that Miles Long has secured a place among the best male porn directors? He started out in the 1990s as an actor, moved into pornography in the early 2000s with his first feature Gulp, and has since racked up a large number of credits as a director, cinematographer, and photographer, among other roles. The most recent of these occurred in 2022 when he began filming Modz and Bodz, a television series that the Lingerie Fighting Championship Network subsequently selected for ROKU. Miles Long has a lengthy and varied career; in addition to becoming well-known in the adult film industry, he has appeared in mainstream motion pictures. He was interviewed in 2021 by The Morning, a UK morning show.
Alan X
Alan X is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker, photographer, and producer. Alan X, who gained notoriety for his video Squirt on Me, has expanded the meaning of girl/girl porn since he started directing porn in the early 2000s. He has worked with many studios, such as GirlGirl.com, Lesbian Sexuality, and Girlsway. His humorous and unique films tackle a range of girl-on-girl subjects, including nursing, squirting babysitters, and stepsisters. By 2023, he will have directed over 400 films and be working with many studios as a director.
