Marc McAulay is a member of the British military – a reservist with the Royal Air Force. He also films gay porn. Surprisingly, Marc’s two careers seem remarkably compatible.
I caught up with Marc McAulay for a behind-the-scenes look at his online life.
The origin story
“Since I was a young child, I frequently went to the RAF air shows with my parents – I always loved the Royal Air Force…” explains Marc, when I ask what drew him to a military career.
“When I was able to join the Air cadets and get to go to Leuchars air base and see the planes , I was hooked.”
“The cadets taught me how to fire a live weapon, general service knowledge and drills. I didn’t join up when I left school – I studied a fitness, health and exercise course in Aberdeen. I wanted to be a personal trainer in the military.”
“In 2008, I decided to enter the Mr Gay UK competition. I did okay – I placed second. I enjoyed the attention – I liked being topless on stage.”
“Following the exposure I received through the Mr Gay UK competition, I was approached with offers to do porn, but at that time I wasn’t ready.”
Signing up to the porn industry
“Once it had been suggested to me, I did some research into the industry…” says Marc, as we discuss what led him to taking the step into the world of adult entertainment. “The porn studios were in London, Manchester, and America – I was in Scotland, so I didn’t think any more of it.”
“Then, in 2017, a studio got in contact and invited me down to London for a casting audition. It was a paid audition, but I had to get myself down to London – it was a long journey on an overnight bus.”
“The audition went well, the casting director gave me good feedback, and from there I’ve been offered filming opportunities.”
“Now, they pay for the train and hotels, no thankfully there’s no more overnight buses.”
Enlisting for action
“When I enlisted in the Royal Air Force, I was advised that the Ministry of Defence security check would pick up everything, so I was upfront in my application about my work in adult entertainment…” explains Marc. “As well as porn, I’d worked as a stripper – I put it all down.”
“The Ministry of Defence’s position – and they’ve said this publicly when the media have asked about it – is that as long as it’s not bringing the Air Force into disrepute, then what I do in my personal time is my business.”
“There’s definitely been a change in recent years – you can also see that in their recruitment campaigns. They want to appeal to everyone – gay, straight, and trans people.”
“I’m nominated for a number of Prowler porn awards, and the RAF put me on the front of their internal magazine, saying ‘good luck, Marc, for the upcoming Prowler awards’. That made me so happy – it made me realise that I had the backing from my squadron and the Ministry of Defence. Times really have changed for the better.”
What’s in a name?
“When I started filming porn, I used my real name…” says Marc. “That is a bit unusual in the adult entertainment industry, but because I was known for being in the Mr Gay UK competition it made sense for me to just stick with that. Everyone knows me by my real name.”
“I’m not the only one. Dan Broughton – who won Mr Gay UK, filmed porn, and is now in the Army – he also uses his own name.”
The allure of a uniform
“I like and appreciate a uniform, but having worn one for years it has absolutely no sexual appeal…” says Marc. “When I did a Brutal Tops shoot, I wore an army uniform for that scene, and it just felt weird. But I do get it, some guys really love it.”
“I do however like PVC, and Mr Riegilio leather stuff – that’s the kind of thing that I like to wear on set.”

I have a mission for him…
I wish he was hairy but I like him
pass on the porn star, better as a soldier
agree
I will definitely not pass on him taken!!!!
I’m with you, Gary47. Any guy with a Scottish accent gets my attention. Gareth.
I admire his guts, but not his body.
not attractive….like in any way. Stick to fighting wars soldier
he’s a bit chubby and soft and unmasculine … I wouldn’t trust a military force that embraces wimps
Men in Military & / or utility kilts are hot. Men in Military camo are almost invisible (I’d find him & reward him for being found!) “PVC, and Mr Riegilio leather stuff is also hot.”: The kinda man I’d buy a casual & respectful beer or two for – to kick-start some repeatable evolving time together ;-).
Congrats Scotland Military Services on your supportive, inclusive & relaxed policies (*opinion based on this article only) provided to your Military service members.
Interesting character. Think his body is pretty sexy. Not everyone carries off the “manscaped” look but he does
I was hoping Squirt would use him to solve the mystery of the kilt.
