Get ready to spill the tea on one of the most talked-about figures in adult entertainment. Cody Cummings isn’t just any name—he’s a trailblazer who challenged norms and stirred conversations. His journey is a wild ride through fame, controversy, and the complexities of being openly bisexual in a polarized industry.
From his chiseled physique to his enigmatic presence on screen, Cody captured the attention of fans worldwide. But behind the scenes, he faced hurdles that many couldn’t imagine. The adult industry’s struggle with bisexuality wasn’t just his battle; it was a reflection of broader societal issues.
In this deep dive, we’ll explore Cody’s meteoric rise, the obstacles he faced, and the legacy he leaves behind. Buckle up, because this story is as riveting as it is enlightening.
The Meteoric Rise of a Star
Cody Cummings burst onto the scene in 2007, working with Next Door Entertainment. His performances weren’t just scenes; they were events that left audiences craving more. He didn’t limit himself to one genre—he was all about versatility, appearing in gay, straight, and bisexual content. This flexibility set him apart in an industry often segmented by strict categories.
His collaborations with big names like Falcon Studios and Hot House Entertainment propelled him into the spotlight. Off-camera, Cody was all about that gym life. His dedication to fitness wasn’t just for show; it was a lifestyle. The man knew how to keep it tight, and it showed.
But fame isn’t just about talent and good looks. Cody had that X-factor—a charisma that made people stop and take notice. Whether he was dancing in clubs or starring in top-tier productions, he commanded attention.
The Challenges of Staying Ripped
Maintaining that jaw-dropping physique wasn’t a walk in the park. Cody was serious about weightlifting, diet, and supplements. But the fitness grind comes with its own set of issues. Some performers resort to steroids to bulk up quickly, but that can backfire when it’s time to shoot.
“People who use steroids for the business cause issues when it comes to shooting time,” Cody once explained. Skin breakouts and other side effects aren’t exactly camera-friendly. He emphasized that the goal is to sell sex appeal, not just muscles. Confidence and natural allure beat artificial enhancements any day.
His approach was all about balance. He knew the camera adds weight, so he focused on being lean and toned rather than just bulky. It’s a reminder that in this line of work, authenticity shines brighter than anything manufactured.
Bisexuality: A Double-Edged Sword
Cody’s openness about his bisexuality was groundbreaking but also problematic in an industry that didn’t know how to handle it. While you might think being attracted to all genders would be a perk, it actually limited his opportunities.
“It was the downfall of my career,” he admitted. As the internet evolved, so did fan expectations. Audiences wanted him to pick a side—gay or straight—with little room for anything in between. This binary thinking put him in a tough spot.
Female models often refused to work with him because he’d been with men. Male models were hesitant due to misconceptions about bisexuality. It was a no-win situation that left him isolated professionally.
Navigating Industry Prejudices
The adult industry, despite its liberal facade, can be surprisingly conservative. Cody found himself boxed in by outdated attitudes. Studios and promoters were reluctant to book him, fearing backlash from a divided fan base.
“As people started to express their desires, it became very hard for me,” he shared. The pressure to conform was intense. He struggled to find scene partners, and projects dried up. His bisexuality, which should have been an asset, became a barrier.
This wasn’t just about work; it was personal. The rejection took a toll on his mental health and self-esteem. It highlighted a significant issue within the industry: the lack of acceptance for bisexual performers.
Family and Public Perception
Fame doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Cody’s career choices had ripple effects on his personal life. Friends and family grappled with his notoriety, and not always gracefully. His straight acquaintances assumed he was gay, while gay peers thought he was straight. The misunderstanding was widespread.
“I never anticipated that it would leave the internet,” he said about his fame. Public recognition added another layer of complexity. Random encounters with fans blurred the lines between his professional and personal worlds.
Dealing with loved ones’ reactions was challenging. They had to navigate their own feelings about his career and the misconceptions that came with it. It was a lot for one person to handle, but Cody faced it head-on.
The Reality of Porn’s Permanence
One thing Cody emphasizes is the lasting impact of working in adult entertainment. “Porn is forever,” he cautions. Once content is out there, it’s there for good. This permanence is something aspiring performers need to consider seriously.
He advises newcomers to stay true to themselves. “Don’t ever do what you don’t want to do, because you can never take it back,” he warns. Setting boundaries is crucial. If you’re not comfortable with certain acts, don’t let external pressures sway you.
Cody’s experience serves as both inspiration and caution. He carved his own path but faced consequences that others can learn from. Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a guiding principle.
Embracing Bisexuality Without Apology
Despite the setbacks, Cody loves being bisexual. It allows him a fluid exploration of his desires without constraints. In a world obsessed with labels, he embodies the freedom to love without boundaries.
“Some people are afraid of trying,” he notes. The stigma around bisexuality often prevents people from exploring their true selves. Cody encourages others to experiment if they feel the urge, without letting societal judgments hold them back.
His stance is a breath of fresh air in a culture that often demands conformity. He’s a reminder that sexuality is personal and doesn’t need to fit into predefined boxes.
The Fleshjack Legacy
Before stepping away from the spotlight, Cody left a lasting mark by partnering with Fleshjack. Becoming part of the Fleshjack Boys collection was more than a business move; it was an acknowledgment of his impact.
“It somehow in my own mind solidifies the level of porn I have reached,” he reflected. Having his anatomy molded into a product was surreal and gratifying. It’s a tangible piece of his legacy that fans can literally hold.
Cody doesn’t just endorse the product; he’s a user himself. “I use the heck out of my Fleshjack,” he confessed. Knowing that others are enjoying his molds adds an extra layer of excitement for him.
Turning Fans On, Literally
There’s a certain thrill in knowing you’re part of someone’s intimate moments. For Cody, this isn’t just about vanity—it’s a connection with his fans on a deeper level.
“To think that I’m on your mind while you climax is hot!” he exclaimed. It’s not every day that a performer gets to be a part of someone’s personal experiences in such a direct way.
Even his partners have gotten in on the action. Some of his girlfriends have taken his molded toys home, adding a unique twist to their relationships. It’s an unconventional but intriguing dynamic.
An Enduring Influence
Despite stepping back from performing, CodyCummings.com remains one of the largest bisexual porn sites online. His influence hasn’t waned; if anything, it’s grown. He continues to be a reference point for discussions about bisexuality in adult entertainment.
His story isn’t just about one man’s journey. It’s a commentary on industry practices, societal attitudes, and the challenges that come with defying norms. Cody’s experiences shed light on issues that are often overlooked.
For fans and newcomers alike, his legacy offers valuable insights. Whether you’re in the industry or just curious, there’s a lot to learn from his path.

Is Cody really bi, or just sexual?
I think the biggest persistent complaint I heard about him (for YEARS) was that he would let guys blow him, but nothing much more. He never had sex with guys, never sucked another guy, definitely never got fucked by or kissed other guys. Seemed his idea of bisexuality was limited to being in the same room with another naked guy. Is that accurate? Can anyone verify he actually “Had Sex” with other guys? With links to pics or videos?
I was never really a fan, cuz I never really saw him do anything entertaining.
You’re definitely right. He never had sex with any guy, while he had sex with women. There is nothing hot about a self-hating internalized homophobic bisexual. He literally insulted his gay and bi fans, that’s why he had to go. There are now true bi and gay pornstars hotter than him, who give better shows and respect their fans. We won’t miss him, as for his lies in the article, he should seek help.
Physically speaking, he is one of the hottest male performers to ever grace the screen in porn. He was extremely good-looking, had an incredible body that was adorned with one of the most attractive “tools” ever. Facts are facts — sorry.
He has kissed other guys (and that’s probably because he was feeling pressured).
He has kissed guys and jerked guys off. He did a very hot scene with Campbell Steven’s on his site. They made out, cuddled, and were very intimate. He also gave Donny Write a full body massage and a hand job to completion!
Yeah, No. Cody was not unpopular because fans didn’t understand/accept bisexuality… he became unpopular because people didn’t think he really was bi. The fact that he didn’t do anal (at least not with men) is 100% fine. Not every bi or even gay guy is into that. But to call yourself bi when you don’t even kiss dudes and wait until toward the end of your career to even touch a dude’s dick certainly screams “NOT Gay or Bi, just in it for the money!” Then there’s the matter of whenever he talks about his personal life (which is private and hopefully stays that way). He always talks about girlfriends, past and present. Never a mention of boyfriends. I don’t think people would even mind if he just said he was straight. The video evidence certainly points that way. What irked people was the impression it all gave that he’s claiming to be one of us just so he can make money off of us. Baiting us, if you like. So I’ll support him by buying and enjoying his fleshjack products as this ad of an article wants, but bisexuality was not the end of his career and people should really stop trying to get bi people to hate gay people.
Your information is incorrect. I just responded to another comment on this board who claims that Cody never kissed another guy on screen. I watched a video last night where he kissed the other guy several times. During his porn days, physically speaking he was sheer perfection from head to toe. I would like to know where he lives, what he is doing now and see if he ever completely explored his “other side”. One more thing, you don’t like the fact that he “baited” the gay community for monetary purposes only; however, you will support him by buying his sex products (toys). That makes no sense and is a total contradiction.
There’s a difference between a kiss and kissing and he never got into kissing there is never no passion even bi guys show passion and they’re making out, I think he’s just an arrogant prick, to be bisexual you have to suck cock and no you don’t have to get fuck to be bi. If you believe in Kevin Lengyel to be bi then you are as fucked up as he is
HE WAS BORING!!!
Seriously annoying how void of intelligence stuff like this is. Words like “bi-sexual”, have meaning. Cody Cummings is an opportunist. How do you go from calling someone “gay for pay”, then “bi-sexual”, then back to “my girlfriend” (notice lack of boyfriend references)… It’s mind numbingly stupid and insulting to the people you claim you are marketing to.
Cody Cummings did some sad ass “coming out” where he, literally, pretended to top a dude! I mean what are we, five?! If you don’t like dudes move the fuck on already! Stop trying to act like porn is art or evolved or something. “Fans” watching porn could give a shit about your preferences, but fake is not sexy and sexy is not a dude cringing during an alleged consented sexual act, just super dumb.
Listening to porn actors drone on about their sexuality is ridiculous and petty. If your “acting” your sexual preferences are as irrelevant to your porn scene as cognitive impairment is to Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump! Get a damn clue and stop calling yourself an actor. You are a man prostituting on film for a quick paycheck, not Jody Foster (Accused). Grow up and stop whining! Your sad attempt to take advantage of horny old men was predictable, as was the outcome of your “career”. You got older, your venue was tired as fuck and your narcissistic ideologies were not sustainable.
This article tries to analyze Cody Cummings porn career like a “post-mortem” look at why his career fizzled — as if it’s out of the ordinary for gay porn careers to eventually diminish.
I respect Cody’s limitations of never doing anal, but many fans wanted more. Even if he had pacified them with an anal scene, they’d quickly want more, and it’d never be enough and they’d be onto the next.
The industry chews up and spits out tons of porn stars.
Erik Rhodes? We know how that career ended.
“Matt Ramsey”? Peter North doesn’t even want to acknowledge his gay past.
It is sad that alot of gays don’t understand bisexuality yet. I admit, I was one of those people for decades. I thought you had to be on one side of the fence or the other — no sitting on the fence. But surprisingly, there are ALOT of men who are right in the middle somewhere. And it’s not sitting on a fence, they’ve had their own lot in between gay and straight all along.
I’m actually enjoying the “OnlyFans” phenomenon — where complete no-names can use their smartphone and become overnight popular porn stars.
It completely cuts out the studios, the middle-men and the porn industry.
This “article” is so full of …, trying to victimize cody cummings and blaming the audience for not welcoming him as a “bi-men”, it makes literally no sense, remember actor like Ted colunga or Pavel Novotny?, they were bi sexual men and nobody cared they were doing bot straight and gay porn, they were hot and people just liked them, and this is common in the porn industry he was not the first one and he will never be the only one.
Perhaps his carrer going to sh!t had more to do with the fact that he literally scammed people, remember shadowkiss??, yeah made that awful fake fVck porn video and dared to do a couple more, they advertised it as it first anal scene, he even dared to fake a bottoming scene, people paid to watch them and we (as i was one of them) got really angry when we noticed it was dark scenes were they acted like they were having anal but no penetration was shown because there was no penetration, that was the end for me, i never bothered about him anymore, never cared to search his new scenes or anything, and like me a lot of guys were done with his bullsh!t.
So reading this piece of …”article” where they blame his disgrace on the “awful bi-phobic fans” only made me angry again, i was one of his fans, i paid to watch those awful videos and i was SCAMMED by his false advertising and fake videos, he was an awful person and he got what he deserved, you dont like to touch a man?, you dont like to touch/suck a d!ck?, you would not do anal with a men?, perhaps you are not bi, and should stay away from gay/bi porn and stop blaming the people who feed for all those years.
Sam,
This article was done based on an interview I did with Cody Cummings. The quotes and story come completely from him. It’s how he feels. It’s not our own interpretation or viewpoint.

Well to the original commenters point then, this is a softball interview that seems to just be trying to sell products (also I realize it’s years old at this point). But you either didn’t do your due diligence on his history on his site, or it was overlooked because it was never intended to be a “serious” interview to begin with. There’s no wording to suggest you asked him about if never having anal sex or giving oral ex to another guy in his videos ever hurt his career – and you do yourself a disservice by implying he ever did. The long con of “will he or won’t he?” got tired, and I think that one of his last videos being titled “Fantasy Fulfilled” where he pretended to fuck & be fucked, was probably the straw that broke the camels back. No matter how big the fantasy is, after a couple years it’s going to fizzle out.
So it’s not really an “interview” if you’re just taking someone’s personal point-of-view about themselves and their career and how they prefer to characterize it, without actually asking any unbiased questions.
With that said – he’s always been an incredibly attractive guy with a great body and dick and I enjoyed looking at him, but yeah – I always wanted him to make good on what he was claiming.
Now, now, good Sir
You are being more than disingenuous, you are being dishonest. This article was written with a single goal in mind, and that goal has nothing to do with Cody Cummings beyond using him as a marketing tool. The singular goal of this article is to promote sales of Fleshjacks and nothing else.
This article has a total of 10 pictures and in only two of them does a Fleshjack NOT appear.
This article was written in 2018 by which time Kevin Lengyel has had no association with the name Cody Cummings and the Cody Cummings brand for years.
You say this article was done based on an interview you did with Cody Cummings….. There is nobody called Cody Cummings – there is no such person – it is a marketing tool used to sell Fleshjacks.
Kevin Lengyel has absolutely ZERO say over Cody Cummings. I’m quite interested in your ”interview” of Cody Cummings, because as a fictional character you can make him say and do whatever you like – all to sell Fleshjacks.
”You can own your own piece of Cody Cummings by getting his Fleshjack and dildo. Get it now…”
And finally, you carefully avoid using the name Kevin Lengyel because, I suspect, ….
he was never interviewed.
******************
As for the bisexual discussion… Cody Cummings may well by bisexual, in fact he could be a flaming Nancy if that will sell more Fleshjacks. However, there is absolutely no doubt that Kevin Lengyel is not only heterosexual, but his disdain for, and ill-concealed revulsion at sexual interactions with, especially gay, men reveals nothing other than a nasty, homophobic streak. It is this that the gay community picked up on and rejected – there are fewer and fewer of us who are aroused by being exploited by homophobic straights. We are no longer interested in paying to watch a man, especially one so beautiful, being disgusted by our sexuality. We are growing into our potential strengths and that sad, self-loathsome fetish is fast becoming a thing of the past.
YES! I COULDN’T AGREE MORE!!!
No offense to Cody Cummings but he did a lot of fake sex scenes with men where they would pan away and make it look like he was penetrating them only to see him just dry humming afterwards and that was the turn off. You want to call yourself bisexual but have scenes where you suck a dildo and not the real thing or pretend to anally penetrate a guy you end up losing fans. I would have been fine you sticking to getting blowjobs or just stating the fact that you really didn’t like having sex with men and its okay. The fact of the matter is you mislead a lot of people and this is the end result.
Exactly!!!
This article is BS. No one would have given a shit if her was legit Bi, the problem he was full of shit about it and faked a lot of scenes, gay for pay? as if! He wouldn’t kiss or suck a man on screen and he never let a man guck him, why would anyone gay want to watch him when he’s clearly not into it??? He made it seem like he was making the biggest sacrifice in the world when someone stuck a lollipop up his ass, what a joke.
One thing that always got me off about him is that he has beautiful feet and always showed them off! Yeah, it sucks that he wouldn’t give himself over to exploring gay sex more, but I busted plenty of load looking at him butt ass naked playing with his feet.
Every actor has a public persona. The negative comments cracked me up, because they comment on a character, a portrayal if reality. Even if his dick went in a butt, or he swallowed a load, what you see is a character. Do you think that’s even a real name? What he portrays in film is not real. Sometimes they rise, sometimes they fall. They create a product and sometimes it’s popular and sometimes it’s less popular. Culture and tastes change over time. If you’re selling anything you need to know that. One day singers are in, the next day they’re out. It’s a typical and normal ebb and flow. It’s neither good or bad, it just is. Actors in any film genre should do only what they’re comfortable with and sexuality is very complex, these actors are asked to do a zillion different kinds of things, and their own tastes and willingness may change over time too. No actor, especially actors in the sex industry, owe us anything, they owe us nothing! The comments about being true to oneself are based on your own standard. He was true to himself, and did what he was comfortable with. He owes us nothing more. And if you think he does that’s a problem. Cody’s right our culture tends to see things in a binary, straight or gay…. Over the years I’ve been entertained by his videos, and sometimes immensely satisfied. Like the rest of us he’s a reasonably decent guy in a complex world. Handsome AF too.
Bisexual? That’s news to me. Not that it’s my place to label or deny his own sexuality. I actually thought he was hot as hell back in the day but the came the dreaded “gay for pay” label that he himself used (this article was the first I’ve heard bisexual). That being said I’ve seen plenty of “gay for pay” who do incredible and believable work. Cody did not. There was no kissing or intimacy between him and the models. He barely touched them for the most part and beyond allowing himself to be blown everything else looked rigid and/or outright fake. I could truly care less about a performers sexuality as long as they put out good work and Cody was just disappointing.
