Jeff Stryker (born Charles Casper Peyton on August 21, 1962 in Carmi, Illinois, USA) is an American porn star who has starred in gay, heterosexual, and bisexual adult films. He is famous in the industry for the enormous size of his penis. While he is billed at 10 inches, some claim him to be in reality 7.5 inches.[1] He is primarily famous as a performer in gay films, although for a number of years he strenuously asserted that he was not even bisexual in his personal life. He later admitted to being bisexual, describing his sexuality as "universal."
He is also noted for the "Jeff Stryker Cock and Balls," a rubber dildo fashioned from a cast of his penis and widely sold in sex stores. The dildo was academically analysed in a paper presented at the 1995 Bowling Green State University Conference in Cultural Studies: Lesbian Pornography and Transformation: Foucault, Bourdieu, and de Certeau Make Sense of the Jeff Stryker Dildo, by Mary T. Conway, then a graduate student at Temple University.
He is well known to be the favorite gay porn star of American comedienne Margaret Cho. Many of her routines involve her love for his films and recently in her latest show, Assassin, she discusses in detail about the many places one can use the "Jeff Stryker" dildo. She had also received from him an action figure of the actor.
Stryker sued Health Devices Inc. and California Publishers Liquidating Corp. for over $1 million for breach of contract and piracy when they sold a bootleg dildo of his genitals without paying him sufficiently. The case was heard before a judge in Los Angeles, who eventually brokered a deal whereby the case was dismissed upon payment of $25,000 to Stryker.
Stryker has released a compact disc (Wild Buck) of country music that he performed, and in his pornographic video, Bigger Than Life, he performed a rock song of the same name.
He has also licensed a line of Jeff Stryker products: calendars, playing cards, T-shirts, greeting cards, Stryker Lube and the Jeff Stryker Action Figure.
He has also tried his hand at "legitimate" acting, notably starring in a 1989 Italian-produced horror movie called After Death, or Zombie 4, in which he was credited as Chuck Peyton.
In 2004 and 2005, Stryker made headlines for his unsuccessful legal harassment of a music club and coffeehouse called "Kulak's Woodshed," which was located next door to his office in Valley Village.
In her autobiography, Traci Lords describe him as "handsome but rather dumb looking" after he gave her scornful looks backstage during a fashion show in Paris. Supposedly, he was telling others that Lords "wasn't all that", and if she had made it so far in Hollywood with little talent, then he could be a bigger star. Lords wrote: Someone was actually jealous of my success. I guess that meant I was making progress.
