As is the way with most famous porn actors and actresses nowadays, Peter North is not really 'Peter North'.

His name is actually taken as a light joke, 'Peter' being the general slang term for 'dick' and 'North' referring to his home country of Canada and the well known 'Great White North'.

Don't forget of coarse that when looking at a map, 'North' is also the direction referred to as 'up'.

So the on screen name 'Peter North' actually means 'a dick going up' or a hard on and of coarse bears reference to Canada and being from north of the border.

Peter is not only famous for his massive cock and the large amounts of cum that he splats on the face on his sexy co-stars.

He is also seen to be the porn star who started the trend of grooming his private parts, much to the delight of female porn stars.

One of Peter's most noted features is the fact that he often laughs during the final stages of cumming.

Each ejaculation contains copious amounts of fluid, and by the end, the woman he’s exploding on is literally dripping with his spunk.

Rumors of trickery and faking have dogged him throughout his career, but his costars have always come to his defense.

One of the industry’s most famous porn stars, Jenna Jameson, has gone on record saying they’re real. Peter’s ejaculations can last up to thirty seconds, and most go for at least twenty.

There’s a reason his nickname is the decorator.

In his lengthy career Peter North has starred in more than 1,000 adult films and performed in scenes with almost every big name porn starlet in the past twenty years.

It’s almost like a right of passage for an up and coming babe to do a scene with Peter North. Once you’ve had a taste of 'The North Pole' you can truly call yourself a porn star.

In 1986 Peter came under investigation by the federal government for a few scenes he filmed with underage porn star Traci Lords.

She was under the age of 18 when she made all of her porn films and the men who starred with her in the scenes were all investigated by the government, with the possibility of charges looming large.

However, when it was clear that the charges would lead nowhere, they were dropped and everyone was free to go about their business.

Peter North has also directed more than 70 movies and produced more than 20. His two most notable behind the camera projects are the North Pole series and the Anal Addicts series, among others:

• Latina Fever
• First Offense
• P.O.V (Point of View)

He was the driving creative force behind both of these projects and continues to shepherd them to this day.

For most male actors the only way to break into the porn industry is to do a stint in gay movies.

He starred in more than a dozen films. In each of the films he was the bottom, or the receiver. There have been times in his career when Peter has outright denied this fact and other times when he has insisted that an anal stunt double was used, although that’s almost certainly a falsehood.

The truth is it’s almost impossible to break into the porn industry as a guy without doing a few gay flicks first. Nonetheless, Peter refuses to talk about this aspect of his career nowadays.

In 1996, Peter had a brief stint as a chef/host on a live Chinese cooking show called 'A Big Cock & A Wok'.

Not surprisingly, it was pulled from the air by the Chinese government shortly after its first airing. The baffling thing is why someone thought it would have a chance at success in the first place.

Peter North is a popular figure in China, especially Hong Kong, but this was doomed to failure. Still, you can occasionally catch episodes on television in Hong Kong, where people still look up to him.

Long ago Peter was inducted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame and he’ll always be remembered as one of the finest male porn stars of all time, even long after he’s retired.
