Former gay porn star Joseph Sciambra finds Jesus after near death experience

A man in Napa, Calif. is telling his harrowing journey of sex addiction from a young age and a stint in the gay porn industry in his early 20’s in his new book, Swallowed by Satan.

In his new book, Joseph Sciambra tells the story of his obsession with the gay porn lifestyle in his 20’s before suffering a near-death experience that landed him in the hospital and ultimately resulted in him reconverting to Catholicism.

Sciambra, 44, says in his new book that he was first introduced to porn at the young age of eight, and quickly after this first experience he became addicted to more extreme forms of pornography, such as gay porn and masochistic behavior. The website for Swallowed by Satan says Sciambra hit rock bottom after delving “into the darkest recesses of the occult, Satanism, and eventually Neo-Nazi ritualism,” eventually becoming a “sadomasachist master” and ultimately a “common street hustler.”

A turning point for him was in his early 20’s, when he participated in an orgy while living in San Francisco, Calif. that left him hospitalized.

Following his near-death experience, Sciambra decided to leave the porn industry and reconvert himself to his Catholic faith; he now runs a Catholic religious shop in Napa, Calif. He also works with fellow former pornography actors to reach out to those still in the industry and those seeking help for porn addiction through the Pink Cross Foundation.
