Christian was dating the pornographic actress Lovette and performed an amateur production with her in 1999. In 2003, he contacted director Chi Chi LaRue, in an attempt to enter the heterosexual adult film industry. LaRue, who also directed gay pornography for Falcon Entertainment, asked Christian if he would be interested in performing in gay films instead. Christian agreed since male performers tend to be paid more in gay pornography, as much as $2000 for one scene, compared to heterosexual scenes. Christian signed an exclusive contract with Falcon Studios working under the name "Maxx Diesel". [2] [3]

In 2004, he started performing in transgender and heterosexual scenes under the name of "Christian XXX". His resume included performing with transgender and cisgender women. [3] He has said in interviews that he enjoyed his time working as a performer in gay porn movies but employers in the straight porn industry made it very difficult to continue working in both genres.

In 2012 he began his own websites and subsequently stopped performing for other companies. He now only films for the four websites that he owns.

Industry blogs

He has a blog up about his life in the business titled, Christian Sings the Blues. He explained the title as a joke, "I complain about my life where I get laid every day and make good money and only work about four hours." [4] He has a second blog called Porn Star Luggage where he discusses the various things porn stars bring with them to set.
