Trying to define the cultural impact of porn legend Rocco Siffredi would be a piece of cake.
The Italian porn superstar could simply be called the Sir Laurence Olivier of orgasm, the Morgan Freeman of fornication and the James Cagney of copulation.
Now, in one of the most anticipated streaming series for 2024, Netflix releases the original series titled Supersex, animated by Siffredi’s decades of antics. The seven-episode series filmed in Rome and set to premiere on Jan. 24.

The screenplay was written by feminist activist Francesca Manieri.
“Supersex is the story of a guy who takes seven episodes and 350 minutes to say ‘I love you,’ only to settle for the demon in his frame being compatible with love. To do so, he will have to divulge the only component of We Have Never Seen Him: his soul,” Manieri said in a press release.
“Supersex is about our present, Supersex is about us. What does it mean to be a man?Are we still able to reconcile sexuality and affectivity? These are the questions that, like a kaleidoscope, open up before us as we immerse ourselves in his life until we lose our breath.
So who is Rocco Siffredi, the director of more than 1,500 hardcore videos?
Born in 1964 in the coastal town of Ortona, where Canadians fought one of the fiercest battles of World War II, Siffredi became interested in porn when he saw magazines on his skin as a teenager.
With dreams of becoming a model, she moved to Paris in her early twenties and spent time in the steamy sex clubs of the City of Light. She discovered it through a French porn entrepreneur, Gabriel Pontello, who brought the young Italian woman to the producers. .

Siffredi, named after Alain Delon’s character Roch Siffredi in the 1970 French gangster film Borsalino, made his debut in the 1986 film, Sodopunishment for Sexual Depravement.
“Hardcore is what I was looking to do when I was a kid. I started in 1985 in Paris, when video cassettes (primary genre) were not yet available; At that time, hardcore films were only shown in cinemas, so it was very difficult to meet the producers of the films because access to this world was ‘forbidden’,” Siffredi told an Italian magazine.
In the late 1980s, Siffredi again tried to identify herself as a fad in Paris, but with the support of porn star Teresa Orlowski.
The guy they called the Italian Stallion soon found himself playing on much hotter plates and with incredibly hardcore sex.
Critics noted Siffredi’s “psychological intensity” and athleticism and he became a fan favourite.
With bonkbusters like Rocco Siffredi’s Hard Academy (Volumes 1-7), Buttman and Rocco Go to Montreal and Intercourse With the Vampire, the lurid legend has also become one of the wise sages of the business.
Siffredi emphasizes how complicated the porn business is. No wonder he was treated for sex addiction.
“The rhythms of the paintings are exhausting, to the point that the average lifespan of an actress is six months; for an actor, on the other hand, if they can get through without being fooled by the initial euphoria and the consequent physical decline, they can last longer,” Siffredi said.
As a director, Siffredi said his biggest challenge is locating male talent.
“There’s a lot of demand for movies, but not many (men) can sit on set and do this work. On the other hand, there are many girls, also because of the short professional life of an actress,” she said.
Siffredi himself has retired and unretired from porn numerous times. Most recently in 2022, he said he was done performing but cheekily added, “I don’t say ‘I’m retiring’ anymore.”
What kind of private life does a worldwide porn sensation have?Surprisingly stable.
He met his wife, Hungarian Rózsa Tassi, at Cannes in 1993 and the pair starred in Tarzan X: Jane’s Shame. They have two children.
During a hiatus in 2015, Siffredi opened up about his love for his wife.
He said: “Today I can see, my wife, she is the top priority. She deserves to have what she wanted from day one, to be with only me without sharing with other girls.”
She said: “I know him very well and I love him for who and what he is. Let’s see what the new version of him will be like.”
The veteran pornographer has also been brazenly open about his desperate sex addiction. He said on an Italian television program that his carnal compulsion was “a kind of satan in me. “It makes me lose my mind.
In Supersex, Siffredi will be played by Italian star Alessandro Borghi (The Eight Mountains).
