When I say the name Steven Wolfe, you probably have no idea who I’m talking about. When I say the name Johnny Sins, however, you know exactly who I’m referring to — unless you’ve been living under a rock. But before he worked in every career field on Earth, he was a much simpler man.
Born on Dec. 31, 1978, the man formerly known as Steven Wolfe grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Describing himself as being “very shy,” it’s unlikely those around him thought he would be one of the most recognizable personalities on the internet later in his life. He worked construction and other odd jobs after graduating from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania but felt like he wasn’t living up to his full potential.
Around the age of 24 Wolfe began balding. Instead of being embarrassed, he decided to go all-in and shave his head. This — in combination with staying in great shape — helped contribute to his signature bald-and-ripped look that he would become known for.
In 2006, after being out of college for a few years, Wolfe randomly decided that he wanted to spice up his life, so he became Johnny Sins and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the adult film industry. While he would go on to become one of the biggest faces of the industry, he wasn’t successful overnight. He started where many people used to start — Craigslist.
This approach would end up working as he attempted to get himself into every film he could. By dropping everything back home to devote himself fully to his craft, Sins would quickly become the go-to guy for one of the largest studios in the industry, Brazzers. A major part of what made him the go-to guy so quickly was his versatility.
What makes Sins so unique in his field is how multi-talented he is in terms of the various occupations he is qualified to portray. He’s portrayed a doctor, nurse, therapist, engineer, karate master, teacher, news anchor, plumber, pizza delivery guy, policeman, astronaut, firefighter, janitor, member of the United States Army and masseur. To say he’s a jack-of-all-trades would be the understatement of the century. In fact, it’s more apt to say he’s jacked all of the trades.
For those keeping track at home, that’s decades of college, trade school and other training that this unit of a man already had under his belt before he turned 30. No wonder he was balding by the time he turned 24, the knowledge he contained in his head was probably pushing all of his hair out.
After he reached some level of stardom, news was spread that falsely claimed Johnny Sins died in a car accident on Feb. 18, 2013. Luckily Sins’ untimely demise would be debunked quickly, likely because fans of his know that he’s probably a professional driver in his spare time.
Speaking of his training to be an astronaut, Sins almost became the first actor to film a scene in space along with fellow actress Eva Lovia. All the way back in 2015, Pornhub began a crowdfunding campaign to attempt to produce the first film in space with the goal of raising $3.4 million to make this feat of human history happen. Sins was excited at the opportunity to film the first adult movie in space.
Sadly, the campaign only raised $236,086, and Johnny Sins as of now still has not had his shot to pilot a rocket into space and show off his rocket. I’m sure if he was given the chance he would show everyone just how qualified he is to pilot a spacecraft.
Aiming to expand his content beyond the film industry, Sins would branch out to YouTube and start SinsTV to give fans more of a peek behind the curtain into the day-to-day life of the man of many talents. While this channel initially featured him and his partner Kissa Sins, it would ultimately shift to featuring just him after the two split in 2019. Since this split, however, the two allegedly have reconciled.
Despite initially moving to Los Angeles to pursue his career in the film industry, Sins would end up moving to Las Vegas at an unknown time, and it is where he still lives to this day. His residing in Vegas caused quite a stir when in 2017 during the aftermath of the Las Vegas mass shooting Sins was reported missing. Once again, Sins would be declared dead by the internet. This would be quickly disproven as many fans were relieved to hear that the star was alive and well.
Over his career, he has been nominated for 21 AVN awards, 2 Pornhub awards, 11 XBIZ awards and 4 XRCO awards. Of these many nominations, he would win favorite male pornstar twice, best scene – vignette release, most popular male performer by women and best dick —fan voting.
On top of the many accolades that he would earn due to his outstanding performance in the film industry, he was also quite literally everywhere in the industry. He filmed upwards of 1,000 videos for Brazzers and it is estimated that, over the course of his career, he has filmed over 3,000 videos total. At this time, that number is still climbing despite Sins shifting away from working with major studios in the industry — deciding instead to make his own content.
This model has proven successful for him as he’s been out of filming with major studios for the last 5 years but still maintains a regular upload schedule on all platforms.
Sins has also managed to stay relevant on the internet due to being available on Cameo, as well as the internet appreciating the many fields he has worked and served in — in the form of memes. This along with his Youtube channel currently sitting at 2.1 million subscribers has helped keep Sins incredibly relevant as he heads into his fifties.
I don’t think the human race will ever see another soul nearly as talented as Johnny Sins. He has captured the heart of the internet to the extent that he is always our first concern when we hear of a natural disaster, and the internet cannot rest until we find out if he is safe. A man of many vocations, a sex icon and a walking meme, Sins has had an incredible career up to this point. He is and always will be someone’s wife’s favorite doctor, therapist or whatever job arises.
