Rocco Siffredi, an Italian porn actor, has promised not to engage in sexual intercourse as his way of showing support for the country's football team participating in the ongoing World Cup tournament in Brazil.

Italy is in Group D of the FIFA event and won over England during their first match on Saturday evening with a score of 2-1.

"Guys, I've had thousands of orgasms, but there is one I will never forget. The one I had will all of you. Do you remember when we won the World Cup in 2006?," Siffredi said in a video posted in his Facebook fan page, quoted by Time.

"So for that collective orgasm [to happen again] I am prepared to go without my orgasms," he added.

Siffredo, who is really Rocco Antonio Tano, is known for rough sex scenes in the more than 1,300 X-rates movies he has done, and is called the Italian Stallion.

He first starred in Attention Little Girls in 1987 where he had anal sex, worked as a fashion model for two years and returned to the porn industry. In June 2004, he retired from acting in skin flicks but continued as a director and producer because his children were growing up, but due to lack of male talents, he returned to acting in 2009.

The 50-year-old actor has two sons, Lorenzo and Leonardo, with wife Rosa Caracciolo, a Hungarian model who starred with him in Tarzan X: Shame of Jane.
