Welcome to ‘Supersex’: Why Porn Icon Rocco Siffredi Brought His True Story and More Than 40 ‘Boundary-Pushing’ Sex Scenes to Netflix


“Supersex" is a Netflix series inspired by porn icon Rocco Siffredi's life.

But in a fictional twist written by the show’s creator, Francesca Manieri, Rocco, played by Italian star Alessandro Borghi, then proceeds to have rough sex in front of a throng of cheering journalists and fans, having been enticed by one of the convention’s hostesses, an aspiring porn performer who is seeking her big break. So Manieri set out to shape the seven-episode show about how a guy named Rocco Antonio Tano from the tiny coastal town of Ortona in Italy’s impoverished Abruzzo region became the world’s most famous porn star. The superhero protagonist, an alien from the planet Eros, was depicted in the mag by French porn star Gabriel Pontello, with whom years later Siffredi intersected while copulating in a Paris sex club.
