The 10 Most Eyeroll-Inducing Things Conner Habib Has Tweeted In the Last Month

Oh, Conner Habib. I’ve enjoyed seeing you have sex on camera over the years — particularly when it involves Connor Maguire and a tree. And we’ve all enjoyed your public disputes with academia, Grindr-use advice, and thoughtful essays on porn and culture, etc. But must you tweet your every brain fart?

Maybe I just don’t like Twitter that much to begin with. And sure, maybe I’m being hard on a guy who is, pretty earnestly, just trying to figure some stuff out in this world and be the Thinking Man’s Porn Star to beat the band (he and Colby Keller are neck-and-neck for that title).

But if you follow Conner on Twitter, as 29,000 people do, you’ll know that he takes himself, his writings, his book-learning, and the world at large, very, very seriously. And that’s a turn-on for some people! It’s also a turn-off for some people.

Conner is planning a comeback of sorts, to porn, after a bit of a hiatus in which he only shot a couple of things in the last few years, and he says he’ll be doing more this summer. He’s currently living in L.A., doing some freelance writing and lecturing, and things like blogging for Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger. Power to him, and he really is very articulate. But maybe he should just take it back a notch? Maybe tweet less than 30 times a day? Try not to sound so proud that he reads Lacan? One of the greatest markers of gravitas is some sense of humility.

See the following tweets, collected over the last month, and try to keep your eye from becoming permanently side.

And no, calling someone self-indulgent is not self-indulgent. It’s just judgey and critical. And yes, I am that.

  1. Conner Habib”s brain is like Cody Cummings’ cock in gay porn : we know it’s there, but we also know that it’s never going to be used.

  2. Wow, haven’t commented on this blog in quite some time; but I just couldn’t help myself in this case. I’m so tired of people treating this pseudo-intellectual as if his works carry any real depth or meaning. His crack about those who call others self-indulgent is more likely the cause of so many people calling him what he is; self-indulgent. His “works” tend to be ultimately shallow, pretentious and…self indulgent; but he stuffs enough words from the thesaurus and lengthens it so those who don’t know any better hail his brilliance.

    The people I most see heaping praise on him are fans looking for some attention, ANY attention from a gay porn star and those who are just as guilty of the crime of pseudo intellectualism as he is. I doubt he could intelligently argue his way out of a paper bag. He puts far more effort into appearing intelligent than actually being so. “Look I’m a porn star who can spell! I’m an enigma wrapped in a riddle!”

  3. woah, why all the hate for conner habib? if he’s not your physical type, you can say so and watch other guys. if you just plain think he’s pretentious, say that. if you’re intimidated by his intellect (which doesn’t seem fake to me, FWIW) then don’t read what he writes.

    but i’m not sure that it follows logically that porn guys and/or sex workers can’t also have minds and intellects and thoughts. why it can’t be thought sexy that a guy is smart. that seems to perpetuate a stereotype about the porn world that is very odd in those who also use porn — a kind of logical dissonance. it may also reflect a stereotype that says, if not “i’m intimidated by smart men,” then at least “don’t spoil my fantasy of an uneducated, brutish blue-collar man.” as if to be inarticulate and/or incapable of having ideas makes a guy less hot.

    that’s not to say that the archetype of the sexy laborer isn’t itself hot. i would imagine conner himself would be the first to subscribe to that. what i’m saying is, why must it be *either* the sexy laborer *or* the nerdy professor? why not a nerdy laborer, a coal-miner that write poetry in his spare time, or a sexy professor? and so forth.

    1. Are you doing an impression of Conner? ;-)

      I think the reason he’s trying so damn hard to come off as intelligent is because he knows the general perception of porn stars intelligence is…less than good. While I’m sure most people who aren’t complete morons know that just because one does porn doesn’t mean they aren’t also capable of using their brain, he is probably so used to seeing the people on twitter who write about porn/write to pornstars (not all of whom, but many of whom, probably ARE morons) and seeing how they think of pornstars (often not as people with feelings and intellect, but little more than pieces of meat) that he wants to be seen differently.

      He has some intelligence obviously. He’s got a level of book smarts. But truly intelligent people don’t have to hit you over the head with what they know to show you they’re smart, it’s just obvious. Most tweets from anyone who has a large following of strangers/fans on twitter have subtext. They’re intended to show you something about the tweeter; “I am funny”, “I am kind”, “I am interesting”. All of these are “I am smart, DEAR GOD BELIEVE ME, I am smart!!”. The unfortunate thing for him is that in his efforts to show off his intelligence, he’s instead convinced a lot of people that’s he’s an idiot.

  4. I measure a person in any form of media by the amount of money they have and how many people are actually paying attention to them, which is why I don’t really judge Michael Lucas because he has his own successful porn empire. Connor is a sweetheart and means well but the people who are intellectually on top, you hardly hear from because they are to busy being a Boss.

  5. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE GIF IMAGES YYYYYAAAAAAZZZZZZZ BABY THIS ARTICLE IS AMAZING. and balanced. he is smart and i appreciate some of his contributions but pleaaaaaaze calm your fingers on the tweets

  6. Well isn’t he just uber deep and such hot shit! Haha Twitter really is the ultimate pornstar killer, Spencer Reed and Charlie Harding who I loved are just TMTH on there. As for Connor, I’ve never checked for him and find his look a dime-a-dozen, these eye rolling tweets were great!

  7. Whether he likes it or not, Conner Habib is a hooker, and men do not like their hookers getting snooty about a book they are reading, or metaphysics, or yoga. They want their hookers on their knees with a dick in their mouth or on all fours with a dick in their ass. I have said it in the past about other porn models, and I will say it again (directed at Habib)—No one give a shit if you have a high degree of book smarts, baby. No one cares if you write pieces on why we hate “porn stars” (most of us do not care how you earn your cash). No one cares if you are in on panel discussions about sex workers. All they care about is can you be a cock-sucking mother-fucking dickpig on camera…nothing else. If you want to be seen as a intelligent, fully rounded individual, then DO NOT FUCK IN FRONT OF A CAMERA AND GET PAID FOR IT. One would think someone with your brain would know that….just saying.

  8. Conner said all of these things while he wrinkled his forehead, which is what he always does when he thinks he’s being adorable.

  9. He has the need to prouve how much he knows on a regular basis by writting shit like this above. The mix of to be so fucking snooty and a whore is a real turn off to me. Is it just me or is he a little ‘ femme ‘ too?

  10. I enjoy Conners more philosophical tweets. Sometimes they are initially head scratchers but after thinking about them a bit, they become more clear and help me shift my perspective (not always but frequently). Keep writing and tweeting Conner.

  11. He’s just a failed academic who couldn’t get people to listen to him unless he first used porn to grab people’s attention.

  12. Between these and his pretentious rambling thing about “hating porn stars”‘ he seems like the ludicrous “intellectual” in porn.

  13. His March 18th article…”What I want to know is why you hate porn stars” was horrible! Every other paragraph was about a guy he dated.
    Hey Connor – write one story at a time. No one wants to struggle through your effort at trying to be creative.

  14. Wasn’t it Zeb Atlas who identified Bruno Schulz as ‘Poland’s Kafka’? Maybe I’m thinking of someone else.

  15. He tweets A LOT of meaningless drivel. Too bad because some of his longer writing, that deals with specific, tangible events — like the Jersey Shore thing where he writes about realizing his sexuality — are so good.

    All those eye rolls are me x 1000 when he pontificates about the evils of science or marriage, two things he obviously knows nothing about. /married 25 years to a scientist.

  16. Aww you didn’t use the one I suggested for #7! And it was perfect too! If you didn’t know, that’s Captain Janeway from the show Star Trek Voyager, which I assume is what he was talking about in his list.

  17. I think you need to update this post with a different GIF of eye-rolling for each one of his tweets.

    Seriously cannot stand him or Colby when they’re tweeting a bunch of know-it-all shit. The only one I truly tolerated and enjoyed doing that was Dale Cooper, because he didn’t shove it all down our throats and feel the need to flaunt their intelligence like Colby and Conner. And he was hotter.

    1. I second that! Dale Cooper is the only intellectual in the industry that I admire and enjoy because there is more than an element of genuineness and humility in his writing. Even Sean Zevran tends to bother me in the way that CH and CK do. Ahhhhhhh, if the world was more like Dale Cooper!

      1. I loved this:” One of the greatest markers of gravitas is some sense of humility “. A thing that this stuck-up whore never learned for sure.

    2. Conner Habib seems curiously desperate for approval. colby keller can be kind of charming, but I’m starting to think he’s genuinely mentally ill. I don’t even remember who Dale Cooper is (besides the Twin Peaks guy, obviously).

      1. I called it for years with both Colby and Conner – and saw it for what it was: pompous. And the sad thing is, they don’t know because the porn audience indulges them.

        As far as I care, these two will eventually wander off into obscurity or continue to fight for the limelight and look progressively pathetic as they get older.
