Lena Paul, a renowned figure in the adult entertainment industry, has openly shared insights into the latest performance-enhancing trend among male performers.
She revealed that these enhancements come in the form of "robot penises," a technological advancement that allows for erections at the push of a button.
Furthermore, Lena Paul admits she possesses a clever method to adjust the size of her co-stars' enhancements to suit her preference during performances.

In a more detailed discussion, Lena Paul, who is celebrated with AVN and XBIZ awards, confides in podcast host Holly Randall about the peculiar trend that's taking the porn industry by storm.
She unveils that an increasing number of male performers are opting for surgeries to install these "robot penises."
Lena shares, "They all have egos," explaining that her male co-stars often aim for an overly enhanced size, which she discreetly adjusts.
"So I'll just reach down there and it seems like I'm just playing with their balls on the camera, but really I'm just pressing the button to deflate it to my ideal size."
Lena elaborates on the transition from traditional Viagra-style injections directly into the penis, which was once used for instant erections, to the adoption of the "robot" penis implant.
This shift, she notes, is seen as a logical progression.
However, it's not without its consequences: "When Caverject came along, and guys were injecting their d***s to the point that they were instantly hard, that was fine."
"But you're putting an expiration date on your penis," she cautions.

Lena recounts the story of a performer in his early thirties who became so reliant on Caverject injections that they ceased to work for him.
"And you can't go back from Caverject to Viagra, you can only go forward."
The implant, she explains, includes a tiny button-operated valve within one of the veins of the penis that can halt blood flow, resulting in a near-instant erection.
This technological solution, according to Lena, is increasingly sought after as budgets within the industry tighten.
A male porn star capable of performing on demand saves valuable studio time, making him more desirable than his counterparts who rely on natural arousal.
However, this operation, once performed, inhibits the penis's natural function, necessitating the button for an erection.
Lena says: "There's something sad about that, You're going to do something that will permanently change the course of your sex life."

Acknowledging the permanent alteration of one's sexual function for the sake of career efficiency.
The financial aspect of this surgical enhancement is also brought to light by Lena, who notes that the operation costs around $70,000 (approximately £55,000), a hefty price for a modest income.
Male performers in mainstream porn, she points out, typically earn between $300 and $1,000 per shoot, with only one or two shoots a week.
Lena expresses her reservations about undergoing such a procedure, questioning the value of such a drastic measure for an annual income of around $50,000.
"Would I really take the whole inside of my d*** out and replace it with a balloon for $50k a year? I don't know," she said, highlighting the significant sacrifices made by those in her industry in pursuit of their careers.
