Talk:Simon Rex

Xtube

In my opinion, links to porn videos should NOT be listed as an external link because wikipedia has people of all ages and should not encourage young people (like preteens or younger teens) to view it. Plus there are admins out there who do not like youtube being linked as an external link due to copyright infringement reasons --dputig07 08:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Statistics

Is the size of his penis "encyclopedic"? At a minimum I'm adding that it needs a citation. Nate 02:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so either, I'm going to remove it. Sam Burke 20:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I've changed to biography template to a more suitable actor one if that is ok. I also removed a link to adult content as I don’t think its appropriate for an encyclopaedia, even if he has starred in pornographic films. Sam Burke 20:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be included since it was part of his "acting" career. The sex scenes he has performed were not scandalous sex tapes released against his will. He agreed and performed in front of a camera for money.

I don't think the purpose of an encyclopedia to be culturally sensitive to sex and sexuality. It should be used for reference and knowledge, no matter how unsavory it may be to some with more "conservative" tastes. Especially since he gained an award for said scenes, according to his own wiki page! (Note: Talking about his pornographic career. Not his penis size.) 74.78.219.170 (talk) 02:18, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Acting Skill

i think that they should not kick rex out because he is a funny person and his acting skills are good, they are stupids.... he should not be 'bullied' just for his past. u get me!!

now when you say his acting skills are "good," are you comparing them to that of a piece of driftwood?

The picture

I haven't seen the picture and am more interested in his contribution to standard entertainment and also I linked here via a Jewish website on Wikipedia as he's listed there as a Jewish Actor, which is in one way proof (possibly) that he is indeed Jewish, although I normally wouldn't expect one to demonstrate that so transparently. I am interested however that as a Jewish person what acting he had done in a purely cultural context that would demonstrate that he was in fact a 'Jewish Actor' or is it really that he is a an actor who just happens to be Jewish ? From a cultural perspective he probably has had roles that have had him call on his experience as a Jew to play a role that most audiences wouldn't fully appreciate or comprehend, but I think at times his sense of humour is achetypically that of suburban Jewry of shtetylim styling with a enquiring wit that could border on almost talmudic proportions. It's just a side thought anyway ..............

Hmm... it's nice I'll admit, but is it appropriate for the site?

I think it's just a little bit to revealing for an encyclopedia article... i don't have a problem with it personally, but I could quite well imagine that others would. Spheroide 18:56, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

After reading some more articles on what Wikipedia is and what not, I changed my thoughts on this image. Since the topic *is* on a (former) porn star, why not show the subject of the article in the way he became famous. Ok picture for me now!i love his penis and ass Spheroide 21:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree--LooseTheHotButtonS 16:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't be opposed to the picture if he were still a porn star, but he isn't. A lot of threads link here, especially recent (legit) films he has been in. --Fallout boy 12:57, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I have to say, I agree with fallout boy. People linking from sites for legit films or television series should not have to see the pic, no matter how hot it is :p. -- Daydream believer2 13:00, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

I don't see what's wrong with it, it's not really a pornographic image. True that he isn't now a porn star, but that's how he started his career and he's still quite famous for it. Anyone who is offended by nudity would be rather foolish to click on a link labelled "warning: nudity", would they not? Cadr 22:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Anyone got HQ video of his cock?

IMDB as bio source

Anybody can write a bio for imdb, can't they? The adult film claim needs a more reliable source. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 23:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I returned some of the information about his adult past. I left out the "gay audience" segment, since IMDb is not a reliable source for that. However - just as with his other roles which are listed on the page without a source - the porn films are a matter of fact. Daydream believer2 06:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I did some editing tonight. and i was confused as how come imdb listed him for "hot session 11 and 12," when another site listed him for "hot session 3." so i checked out the club1821 site, he only did once in hot session 3. however, later on, that site produced hot session 11 which added some new footage. so he only made three pornos, solo 2, 3, and hot sessions 3. and he did not have sex with any other men in any films.

Categories

He still belongs in the "Male Porn Star" category as well. It doesn't matter if he no longer performs in these. The DVDs are still selling and he is still a star in this industry. All you have to do is a google search on images and you will get images of him masturbating. Doc ♬ talk 15:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

You have to put the references in the article. Saying "use Google" isn't good enough. Check WP:BIO and WP:BLP. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 19:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

his sexuality

i deleted that part "he is a homosexual." as a matter of fact, he has denied that he is gay in public a while ago. unless he comes out one day announce to the world that he is gay, no one should assume that he is "homosexual." and if you have seen the behind scene video made with Brad posey, he actually talked about he cheated on his gf, and he felt really bad, and during the session, he asked to see girlie mags, etc. SummerThunder 08:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

deleted possible gossip part

"In early of 1999, Rex engaged in a three year sexual relationship with gay pornstar Jeremy Jordan (porn star). The relationship broke off when Rex became involved with British singer Stephen Gately after meeting at the 1999 MTV Music Video Awards."

I deleted this part. i googled it, i didn't find anything about him with jeremy jordan. even if he really did, i doubt that he will tell the whole world about it. i didn't find anything about him with gay singer stephen gately, either. you simply can't find anything about it.

someone wrote this

To see Simon's surprisingly BIG cock click this link -> [[1]]. He is on the second row down, first picture in. Also a second picture is on the row below (third row, first picture!). Enjoy them, I did!

then he tried to change the film name from forsaken to foreskin. haha.

that was funny, he probably thought that this is a blog or a forum. =) --SummerThunder 10:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Considers himself bisexual?

Is there a citation, any place to verify that he has referred to himself as bisexual? Rex fan 22:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I figured he was at LEAST bisexual. In at least one of those videos, he's jerking off to gay porn. --98.232.188.173 (talk) 18:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Stallone was in adult movies as well

it was stated "Rex is perhaps the only former porn actor to have made a somewhat successful transition to mainstream Hollywood." Yet even the wiki article on stallone states his adult films. This need to be updated.24.193.44.164 (talk) 14:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Paris Hilton's My New BFF

He was on it Ep. 5, "You Gotta Have Class". ~ DyingxToxLivexAgain —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.112.194 (talk) 20:52, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

VJ Career

Rex was released once it was discovered that he did a movie called "Circle Jerk 9", not just because of a shakeup —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.73.1 (talk) 05:27, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Info about former porn career in article

Before this year there was always a note about the porn videos Simon was in, in the actual article. This was taken out for some reason. In fact this is how the article started, now there's talk about it at all? I know Simon has done a lot since but I think it's not very fair to his past to start leaving stuff like that out because it's controversial. I put it back it but it was taken out again because there seems to be some dispute about how notable it is. . . well this is how I first heard of him and pretty much every biography of Simon Rex anywhere but this site notes it. Here are a bunch of examples: http://www.diggstars.com/1-20-4213/Simon_Rex.html http://www.zooped.com/tag/simon-rex/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005350/bio http://www.tv.com/simon-rex/person/10163/biography.html http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Rex,_Simon/index.html

Every one of those mentions his porn past in the article about him. So, can we please put it back in and leave it there? If I don't get any response to this in the next couple of days I will revert my post back in. Valacan (talk) 15:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
