29 years old, built and tattooed, Jawel—discovered by Citebeur—owns his path as a gay porn actor and speaks openly with ArabGay.Porn.
AG: When did you start in gay porn?
Jawel: In 2009 with Citebeur, and I’m still shooting with them. We’ll see what the future brings. There’s no exclusivity contract for actors in France, so I stay loyal by choice.
AG: How did the casting go?
Jawel: It was in Marseille. I met Stéphane (Citebeur’s boss) during a sauna shoot with experienced actors. I was there and simply offered to jump in. The first time isn’t easy—performing with someone you’ve just met, a camera on you—but the team is discreet and lets you do your thing, so it felt natural fast.
AG: Were you always drawn to porn?
Jawel: I’m an exhibitionist at heart—I like being watched and wanted. Porn is just an extension of that.
AG: Does that match Citebeur’s gonzo vibe?
Jawel: I actually live a regular life in the provinces and work as a cook. People might expect a “street tough” image, but that’s not me. My family background is Algerian (Kabyle). Being Arab and gay brings daily taboos, but I’ve been lucky—my close family knows I’m gay and took it well. My porn work is my business.
AG: Based on your scenes, are you also active in real life?
Jawel: Mostly, yes—but I can switch. I’ve bottomed in a few scenes, but it’s not my preference. For me, that part is very intimate; I feel better in the top role.
AG: Did porn make it easier to meet guys?
Jawel: I didn’t have trouble before (not trying to sound cocky!). For some it’s a turn-on; for others, it’s a deal-breaker. Like with friends, I did lose a few over my job—I get it. I’m seeing someone now; I told him from day one and he’s cool with it.






Edji aka Jawel said something really contradictory – “I have already shot as a bottom. But only a few scenes, I don’t like it. As an Arab guy, it bothers me that people can see me like that. The ass is intimate to me, but my cock, I don’t mind giving it”
How is even being a top fcking a dude be okay for an Arab guy?
