[edit] Gay porn start
Early on in his career under the pseudonym Matt Ramsey, Peter made more than a dozen gay porn movies in which he topped and even '
bottomed' for some of the largest male talent in the porn industry (most notoriously 'Humongous'

The Bigger the Better)<SUP class=reference id=_ref-38>
[41]</SUP>. Despite seeming to enjoy himself in these performances, North has at times denied having done so, then admitted it (but stated - although it is clearly untrue - that an anal stunt double was used<SUP class=reference id=_ref-39>
[42]</SUP>), and then began to simply refuse to discuss it. In recent years Peter has confirmed that he did perform in these films. He says he only performed in gay films for the money since he was thousands of dollars in
debt at the time <SUP class=reference id=_ref-40>

[edit] Sexual Orientation
Although North's sexual orientation is a matter of some dispute, several factors leave open the strong possibility that he is bisexual. First, even though North is one of many self-proclaimed straight porn stars who took part in gay sex at the beginning of their careers, he returned to both gay and bisexual pornography several times between the early 1980s and mid 1990s<SUP class=reference id=_ref-41>
[44]</SUP>. Furthermore, interviews with those who worked closely with North during his gay and bisexual shoots, such as gay porn director William Higgins<SUP class=reference id=_ref-42>
[45]</SUP>, reveal the persistent opinion that he enjoyed the sex he had with men. In an interview with "Manshots" magazine in the early 90s, Higgins states that North continued to "
stunt butt" after he left openly performing in gay films. The director went on to say that, even though Peter swore up and down that he was straight, "[
he] truly loved to be fucked up the ass."<SUP class=reference id=_ref-43>

In an interview on LukeFord.com, an insider answered the issue of North's sexual history as follows: "Mike Horner told me that North did homosexual escort work for a couple of months, at the beginning of his career.
Tom Byron also confirmed the North story; "I just love North's mock outrage when someone says something that is actually true about him."<SUP class=reference id=_ref-44>
