I just came across an interesting interview of Steve Holmes. He started doing porn in 1996 and is still doing it now, more than 20 years later.
It would be fair to describe Steve Holmes as an anal porn-stud. Because he does anal with the ladies in most of his scenes. And whenever there is a DP, then he is usually the lady's ass-guy. He is the one who takes her ass.

Some of the highlights in this interview include how he became a porn-stud:
He said that he first tried to get a role in a porn scene by sending letters and pictures to various porn producers. And apparently he did this a lot. Because he says that he spent a lot of money on this. But he got no replies from anyone at all. All of his mail ended up in the garbage.
But then, Steve finally got a break in his search for a porn-role. He had a male friend who knew a porn-producer. And through this friend, Steve got an invitation to an amateur porn-shoot.
This amateur porn-shoot was very casual and unscripted. The porn-producer basically tried to make it easy for Steve. He let Steve choose his own sex fantasy that he wanted to fulfill. But it had to be something reasonable. So, the porn-producer said 'no' to a 1 guy, 10 girl scene. This was going to be too expensive. Steve's fantasy of banging a hot chick on an airplane was also too expensive. But then Steve said, "I like anal, but not many girls want to do anal with me because I'm kind of big." Then the porn-producer said that this was doable.
Steve's first anal scene actually didn't work out that well. He had a big erection for the lady's ass alright. But she was such an amateur that she wasn't ready for anal, and she couldn't take him in. So, they ended up faking a reverse-cowgirl anal ride. He wasn't actually in her ass. But it looked on film like he was. And this was good enough for the porn-producer.
Steve also says in the interview that he knew right from the start his role wasn't just to nail the ass of a hot lass. His role was also about presenting the hot lady to the viewer in the best possible light, during the ride. And although, he doesn't say this in his interview, I think this of the reasons why many hot porn-ladies later on wanted him to be their ass-guy.
Because every porn-lady naturally wants to show herself to the viewer in the best possible light. And Steve Holmes was on the same wavelength with his ladies on that, when he was nailing their sexy butt. He was good at presenting the ladies to the camera. And that's what made him so popular with the ladies.
Another revealing highlight from this interview that I find interesting and informative is that today's female porn-stars start out by watching porn and becoming porn-fans, before they themselves get into porn and start spreading their cheeks for anal dicks.
It's like these ladies check out what porn-fans want to see, get used to the idea of doing it with guys like that, prepare themselves for it, and only then they go all in. That's why many new porn-ladies nowadays start doing anal almost right away. And it doesn't take them long to become really good at it with guys.
