And now Ryan, who is also a certified personal trainer, has revealed exactly how he prepares for a porn shoot and how he can earn up to $350 for just 15 minutes of filming.

The adult actor told how shoots can often be disorganised and many don't even have proper scripts, so they come up with ideas as they go along.

He said: "I remember one time we were just sitting around and everyone was hungry so we ordered some pizza and we were trying to figure out what to do for the next scene.

"Then someone just came up with the idea to make the scene about a pizza delivery boy because we already had the boxes there.

"It’s not very well planned most of the time. But people aren’t really watching for the story anyway."

In preparation for a porn shoot, all does is select some outfits if wardrobe is not provided, throw some lube in a bag and then takes a Viagra pill before he is due on set, as scenes are often played out in front of up to 10 people.

He revealed: "Nearly all men who do porn do [take pills]. If someone is saying they don’t they’re probably lying.

"A lot of guys watch porn and think, ‘I’d never need to take anything because it’s easy to have sex with hot girls.’

"But the reality is, if they had a chance to do a film, they’d find they can’t perform without it."

Ryan says that most porn shoots range from 15 minutes to an hour with an average shoot lasting around 30 minutes.

But he said: "In terms of actually being on set, I think my record was 11 hours for one scene.

"That was in Europe and they were a little bit disorganised and they took a lot of time to set up the cameras and fill out forms and do makeup. Most of that 11 hours was me just sitting there doing nothing."

 Despite having a huge back catalogue of films, the porn actor says he never watches any of them back

But despite having a huge back catalogue of porn films, Ryan says he never watches back his work, although he has been recognised in public before.

He added: "I think if people do recognise me, a lot of the time they don’t say anything because they might feel a bit awkward about saying, 'Hey, I’ve seen your penis on film.'

"Sometimes people tell me I look familiar and I say, 'You must watch a lot of porn then.” They always think I’m joking.'"
