Steven Wolfe (born December 31, 1978), better known as Johnny Sins, is an American adult film performer, director, and YouTuber. He is consistently among the most popular male talent adult movies searches and is known for his shaved head, muscular physique, and blue eyes.[2][3][4][5] His accolades include three AVN Awards for Male Performer of the Year.[6][7] He has been the subject of memes, which center on the large variety of occupations his pornographic characters have worked.[8]

Early life

[edit]

Sins was born Steven Wolfe[9] in Pittsburgh[10] on December 31, 1978.[1] He has described himself as "very shy" while growing up.[11] After graduating from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania,[12] he began working in construction.[11] When he was around 24 years old, he noticed that he had started balding, and has kept his head shaved ever since.[13] In 2006, at the age of 28, he quit his job and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the pornographic film industry full time.[11]

Career

[edit]

Sins' first pornographic endeavors were through Craigslist ads.[11] Brazzers has described him as a "go-to guy" for the studio,[6] as he has performed in more than 1,000 of their scenes as of April 2019.[1]

On June 10, 2015, Pornhub launched a crowdfunding campaign through Indiegogo to produce the first adult film in space.[14][15][16] Sins and fellow actress Eva Lovia were slated to perform in the film.[17][18] If the project were successfully funded, the two would have received six months of rigorous preparation for the launch, including zero gravity, velocity, and temperature training.[14] Sins said, "It's beyond just doing it for the money, or the money shot for that matter. It's about making history."[19] The campaign raised $236,086 over 60 days, failing to reach its goal of $3.4 million.[20]

In early 2017, Sins and fellow porn star Kissa Sins launched their YouTube channel SinsTV, which chronicled their day-to-day lives and featured sex advice.[21][22] Following their brief separation[23] in 2019, Sins became the sole operator of the channel, which later focused on his reaction videos and vlogs; as of January 2024, the channel has gained over 2.1 million subscribers and more than 109 million views.[24] A video of Sins trying out various Turkish snacks briefly became the top YouTube video in Turkey.[3][25][26]

In 2018, Sins received the award for Most Popular Male Performer by Women at the annual Pornhub Awards,[27][28] for which winners were determined by users' streaming data.[27]

In 2020, Sins stopped making porn videos for large studios and focused on producing his own content, stating at the time that he may return to working for the large studios in the future.[29] As of January 2024, he has performed as a pornographic actor in almost 3,000 videos.[30]

Personal life

[edit]

Sins resides in Las Vegas. He married fellow porn star Kissa Sins at an unknown date.[9] They separated in 2019 for a brief period but reconciled in 2020.[23]

In October 2017, a picture of Sins was tweeted by a user who falsely claimed that Sins was missing in the aftermath of the Las Vegas mass shooting.[31][32][33] The tweet was one of many viral hoaxes that emerged related to the shooting.[31][32]

In July 2018, as part of a marketing campaign aimed to boost college tour rides, a mural of Sins and several other porn stars was painted on the side of a bus driving around the Indian state of Kerala.[34][35]
