Netflix’s ‘Supersex’ porn trailer leaves shocked viewers hot and bothered

Netflix has dropped the trailer for an upcoming show titled “Supersex” — and it’s leaving viewers hot and bothered.

Premiering March 6, “Supersex” is an Italian-language drama (with English subtitles), about how Italian actor Rocco Siffredi left his humble beginnings behind to become a world famous adult film actor. 

In the show, he’s played by Italian actor Alessandro Borghi, 37. 

The real Siffredi (who is also known as “The Italian Stallion”) is currently 59, and has starred in more than 1,000 adult films over his long career, which spans back to the ‘80s. (He also directs and produces.) 

“Hey Netflix, did the writer’s strike really hurt your catalogue options THIS much!? Thoughts & prayers,” one viewer commented on the trailer. 

“Gosh. I still can’t believe netflix cancelled Daredevil, Mindhunter, Lockwood and Co, Marco Polo, etc. to promote garbage like this,” another viewer complained.

“The man, the myth, the legend,” said another fan. 

“Finally, a [show] that guys like me can relate to,” one fan joked on X, formerly Twitter. 

“Y’all are out of ideas,” another Netflix critic commented. 

“Why does Netflix keep funding this s – – t?” one fan complained. 

“Who asked for this?” another fan demanded.

The trailer begins by showing Rocco getting surrounded by paparazzi as he arrives at an awards show, full of glitz and glamour and glory for him. Soon, it flashes back to his childhood in Italy, where scenes show him watching women dancing as a child, and watching his brother with a partner. 

In a 2016 interview, he explained, “I was already very sexually active at age 11, and I remember that all the other guys around me had zero sexual experience, so I knew that I was something special. But that was not the main thing. The main thing was always to try to give something back to my mother to help with the pain she suffered at my brother’s death.

“Also, I remember finding this magazine when I was 13, and in it were photos of this guy named Supersex who used to be a famous porn star in the ’70s … I saw that and said I want to do this business,” he went on.

“I called my older brother who lived in Paris and told him this, and he said, ‘You are crazy.’ At 16, I called him again and he said, ‘You didn’t give up? You are completely crazy!’ I called again when I was 20, and he told me if you go to a swinger’s club, you are going to find some porn people who can help you. I did that, and it worked. People saw me having sex in front of everybody, and from that day on, my life changed. I was in paradise.”

“You know how to f – – k but you don’t know how to make love,” someone tells him on-screen in the trailer, while someone else says, “Pioneers are all alone. That’s the price we pay to be free.”

Siffredi, who is married to and has two sons with Hungarian model Rosa Caracciolo, has announced his retirement from porn several times.

“I tried to retire for my children,” he said during the same 2016 interview.

“I wanted to stop performing in front of the camera by the time they were teenagers and were ready to have sex themselves. I tried to do things on the other side of the camera in order not to hurt them. On the other side, I f – – ked up so many times. First of all, I hurt myself by stopping. Secondly, I started to go to hookers two or three times a day. So three times a day: hooker, hooker, hooker … because I was so used to having that much sex.”

He said, “I’m with a very smart woman who understood my situation. She told me, you need no go back in front of the camera. If that is what you miss, and you’re seeing hookers to replace [performing], then what’s the point of retiring?”

“Supersex” premieres March 6 on Netflix.
