Welcome to World Cup 2014! Italian adult-film star Rocco Siffredi has pledged to refrain from sexual intercourse to support his national team during its stint in Brazil, according to a video published on the porn star’s Facebook fan page. “Guys, I’ve had thousands of orgasms, but there is one I will never forget. The one I had together with all of you. Do you remember when we won the World Cup in 2006?” said Siffredi in the video. “So for that collective orgasm \[to happen again\] I am prepared to go without my orgasms.” Italy is currently competing in the tournament’s Group D and play England in their first match on Saturday evening, local time. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2863037/italian-porn-star-world-cup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2863037/italian-porn-star-world-cup/"},"headline":"This Porn Star Won't Have Sex Until Italy Returns From the World Cup","datePublished":"2014-06-12T09:44:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:41.328Z","description":"Rocco Siffredi says sex really doesn’t compare with the collective orgasm that comes with winning on football's biggest stage","url":"https://time.com/2863037/italian-porn-star-world-cup/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Pornography","england","Italy","Porn","Soccer","World Cup"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte8b98ca06db76050/6986973c810bbbe8acc9221b/italian-porn-star.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"David Stout","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/david-stout/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte8b98ca06db76050/6986973c810bbbe8acc9221b/italian-porn-star.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Chiambretti Night\" Italian TV Show - February 4, 2012","caption":"\"Chiambretti Night\" Italian TV Show - February 4, 2012","creditText":"Stefania D'Alessandro—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2863037/italian-porn-star-world-cup/","name":"This Porn Star Won't Have Sex Until Italy Returns From the World Cup"}}]}] ```
