Draft:Legrand Wolf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Legrand Wolf is an American adult film gay performer, producer, director, and entrepreneur, best known as the founder and CEO of Carnal Media, an adult entertainment company, and home of Carnal Plus. He has won three GayVN Awards and five Grabbys Award for his work.

Early life

[edit]

In his youth, Legrand Wolf followed the Mormon faith and even embarked on a Mormon mission as missionary during his teenage years.[1] He pursued higher education, studying microbiology at Brigham Young University, and later attending medical school at the University of Utah. It was during this period while in medical school, in his mid-twenties, that he came out as gay. [2]

After his first year in medical school, Legrand started a lecture group called "Family Home Evening" (FHE) specifically for gay Mormon return missionaries. The group meetings included academic discussions and presentations by guest speakers. During the first FHE, Legrand met his partner and future husband Jay.[3]

Legrand and his husband moved to Minneapolis after Legrand was hired to project manage a research study at the University of Minnesota. The research he worked on explored the intersection of technology and sexual behavior among a particular group of people described as “men who have sex with men,” not necessarily “gay men”. The information gathered in this study later helped them when they launched adult websites.[2]

Career

[edit]

While on their honeymoon, Legrand Wolf and his husband conceived the idea of creating Mormon-themed adult content.[2] They initially hired men via Craigslist to dress up in Mormon outfits and masturbate on camera. The site became self-sustaining but was paused for two years.[4] Subsequently, they conceived GrowlBoys between late 2012 and early 2013.[2] In 2012, Legrand and Jay re-launched Mormonboyz. At the same time, the couple launched a clothing label called MormonsSecret selling Magic Mormon Underwear.[4]

In 2018, Wolf and his partner established Carnal Media, following their acquisition of the all-male affiliate network GunzBlazing.[5] The company produces a range of websites under the Carnal+ streaming platform[6] , including BoyForSale, FunSizeBoys, Gaycest, MasonicBoys, Staghomme, CatholicBoys and BaptistBoys. These websites incorporate various fictional and fantasy-based scenarios involving themes such as age difference, dominance and submission, transformation, and religious roleplay.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Legrand Wolf has won many awards as both a performer and director, both individually and with his company. In 2023, he was named Director of the Year at Fleshbot and Performer of the Year at the Grabbys America.[13] [14] In that same year, he also received the award for Best All-Sex Movie at the Grabbys America for Anatomy Lesson, where he played Dr. Wolf alongside Richie West from the Gaycest site.[15] In 2024, he won Best Director All-Sex along with Hottest Cock and Hottest Top at Grabbys America and Most Accomplished International Pornstar at Grabbys Europe.[16] [17] He also earned the Steamworks Fan Favorite Movie award from Grabbys America for "The Ties That Bind" series featuring Cain Marko and Serg Shepard.[16] Additionally, Wolf has been recognized with the GayVN Award for Favorite Daddy for three years in a row: 2022, 2023, and 2024.[18][19][20]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2009, Legrand married his partner Jay in Massachusetts, one of the states in the USA where same-sex marriage was legal at the time. The couple had initially planned to wed in California, but the passage of Proposition 8, which revoked the right of same-sex couples to marry, prompted them to change their plans.[21][22]
