LeGrand Wolf may be known for his role as an elder in Mormon porn, but it seems his real-life experience with the religion may not have been too far off one of his adult flicks.

Speaking on the Cocktails & Confessions podcast he told hosts Anthony Gilét and Mark-Ashley Dupé about the ceremonies each Mormon went through when they turned 19.

“Growing up Mormon maybe sounds more salacious than it really is… until you turn 19. Then you go to through the temple for the very first time, and it’s not like Jewish temple […] and you’re not really prepared for it, and then when you go through the temple you’re told, first and foremost, that you’re going to get naked and they’re going to wash and anoint your body”.

“And it’s a verry surreal experience, it wasn’t Eyes Wide Shut in the sense that it wasn’t scary, I didn’t feel like my life was threatened. It just seemed so matter-of-fact, almost celebratory.”

He goes on to explain that the washing of the body is an exchange for a higher priesthood.

“So you go in, and these men are saying these special prayers while they wash your body. In the sense that they would put their fingers on the parts of your body that they were talking about. They didn’t touch your dick, but I certainly got hard, ’cause I was naked.”

At which point Mark asks if

“No. You’re in this little white area, you end up in this little curtained box, and it’s just you and this dude. Usually the temple worker is a very old dude…”

“Sounds kinda gay”, Gilét interjects.

Yes, yes it does. And very cult-like. But perhaps that’s why it’s inspired so many adult films.
