Author's note:
Intergalactic Porn Star is a work of gay male science fiction. Set in the distant future, it follows the adventures of a man who's recruited by an organisation that provides hard core gay porn to Earth's interstellar colonies.
It features staged scenes of extreme bondage, dominance and submission, between consenting adults who enjoy their work.
In addition, it also explores Ryan's personal relationships with his new coworkers.
Any reluctance or distress depicted is written as being deliberately portrayed by the actors as part of the scene. However, if you find this kind of content disturbing, I urge you to read something else. My Will and Jesse stories are much softer in nature. See my profile for details.

I spent the day learning how to use all kinds of floggers and paddles to give the appearance of pain on camera, with a model called Liam, who was even more of a pain slut like Ash. The network provided creams that we could use to either prevent or repair damaged skin, but Liam wanted none of it.
Greaves showed me how to tease the sub first, dragging the leather slappers across Liam's tensed cheeks before landing each blow, and running the floggers' knotted leather strands lightly across his back as a contrast to the pain they made when they connected later with his unprotected flesh.
I learned how much power to use delivering blows with all the different floggers, slappers and other tools they had, like studded leather straps that could do real damage, if you didn't watch how much pressure you landed them with.
Throughout all this, Liam's usual BDSM scene partner, Stephan, kept his mouth occupied. Greaves explained that for training, where the sub had to deal with an inexperienced handler, they gave him whatever distraction he wanted, and he, apparently, wanted twenty loads of Stephan's cum.
The boosters Greg had said they put in our food kept me permanently horny, and I took my turn in Liam's mouth half a dozen times myself. I noticed that as my need for release got stronger, so did the amount of force I put into my strikes, and Greaves had me slow down at that point to give the guy more recovery time, so I didn't beat him black and blue.
By the end of the day, I was confident enough with the gear I'd be using, and Greaves let Liam out of his bonds and told me to lie down on the punishment bench.
I'd known this was coming, as he'd explained the network's policy was that if you were performing an act on someone else, you needed to know what it felt like yourself. He whipped me with each of the tools, and while I made it through without crying outโor sucking off Stephanโit wasn't something I enjoyed.
Greaves dismissed Liam and Stephan, and then sat down with me while the nanite repair cream soothed away the stings and aches from the short beating I'd received.
"So, Ryan, what's the most important thing you learned today?"
"That I need to watch how much force I use."
"Indeed. If
you
want to strike harder when you're nearing climax, your sub may demand to be struck with more force as he nears his, seeking the most intense release. But you must never lose control, or you may condition your scene partners to accept pain that will cause them harm when they leave us and move into their lives outside the network."
"Surely they know what they want?"
Greaves put a hand on my shoulder. "We do our best to strike the right balance between providing the content our audiences want, and ensuring our performers enjoy their work. But this is an artificial environment, a highly sexually charged environment from which none of you can escape for the duration of your contract.
"Some of the more sensitive boys leave here and don't have sex for years afterwards. Some go on to become prostitutes. Others to work elsewhere in the sex industry. Some are not as affected and will simply look back on this experience as one would military service, or higher education. We offer free deprogramming, but very few of our contractors have the patience to spend a month being weaned
off
wanting constant sex."
I couldn't imagine that either. If this was conditioning to want to fuck twenty-four seven, I imagined deprogramming was exceptionally boring.
"And this is why we refuse to extend a contract past five years," he went on. "We don't want this experience to consume a young man's life and future. It's a fun way to earn excessive amounts of money and build lifelong friends, but we don't want anyone leaving here permanently damaged."
Even though the cream had finished working, the memory of the pain he'd inflicted on my backside made me vow to myself to be careful with how much force I used during scenes like these. No matter how much my sub screamed for more, they'd only get as much as I was prepared to give them.

As I entered the dining hall later that night, Greg caught sight of me and waved me over. He introduced me to the two men sitting either side of him as I took a seat.
"Ryan, this here's Vinnie."
A tall, slim guy with a groomed moustache and a couple of days' worth of stubble shook my hand and gave me a nod. "Hey."
"And this is Issac."
A solid black guy with a shaved head, a very attractive face, and massive pecs shook my hand. "Hey, Ryan, Welcome to our crew."
"Nice bod," I said, and he lifted his eyebrows with a smile to let me know he knew it.
"So, what'd Greaves have you doing today?" Greg asked.
"Pain training. A whooole new world to me."
"Yeah, took me a while to get used to that shit," he said. "First time Carlos told me to use studs on a guy, I was like, hell no, I can't do that to another person." He snapped a bread stick in half and pointed it at me. "Then I saw how hard the weeb got when Carlos started slapping him with it, and I was like, fuck. This guy's really into it."
"Yeah, they train 'em good," said Isaac. "I think I find the pain scenes more traumatic than they do. They get nanite cream on their asses, but nothing can fix the damage to my brain."
I nodded towards Vinnie, who hadn't said anything. "What about you?"
"Huh?" he said.
"Pain scenes. Do you mind doing them?"
Vinnie glanced sideways at Greg, who put a hand on his back and gave him a friendly shove.
"Likes 'em a little
too
much, don't ya Vinne?"
Vinnie dipped his head with an embarrassed smile.
"Put it this way," said Greg, "You need tips on how to make it realistic, Vinnie's your guy."
As a young guy set food in front of us, a couple of other men joined our table. Kav, one of the black guys I'd seen on day one punishing Ash, and an Asian-American called Sam, who was one of the most attractive men I'd ever seen. He was tall, with a nicely toned body, but not built out on supplements, and his light brown eyes held a look of amusement, as if he thought we were all peasants.
I kept throwing him glances, trying to catch him checking me out, without being too obvious about it, but Greg caught me doing it.
