Fluffer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fluffer on set of a gay pornographic movie handing a lubricant to the actor playing the role of a "top"

A fluffer is a hired member of the crew of a pornographic movie whose role on the set is to sexually arouse the male participants prior to the filming of scenes requiring erections.^[1]

A fluffer also has the duty of keeping adult film stars "cleaned up" in between takes or during photo shoot set-ups, so that the actors or models do not have to move from their positions. These duties are considered part of the makeup department. After setting up the desired angle, the director asks the actors to hold position and calls for the fluffer to "fluff" the actors for the shot.

There have been two films entitled The Fluffer. The first,^[2] a 2001 release, was about a young man with a crush on a gay porn star who is gay for pay. The 2003 release^[3] was a four-minute short comedy film.
