Every four years, soccer fans come together all around the world to drink pitchers of beer and watch their countries compete at the World Cup. To focus on watching the games with his countrymen instead of busting a nut, Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi, the self-proclaimed “Italian Stallion,” has decided to remain celibate until Italy wins or loses the competition. “Guys, I've had thousands of orgasms, but there is one I will never forget,” Siffredi told the Italian team in a video announcing his decision. “The one I had together with all of you. Do you remember when we won the World Cup in 2006? So for that collective orgasm [to happen again], I’m prepared to go without my orgasms.”

Siffredi sees victory as an orgasm, and he wants to remain celibate to prepare himself for what could be the best load he's ever blown. Siffredi has never voluntarily given up getting his dick wet before. He began his career in 1987 when he was 23, and since then he has starred in over 1,300 scenes, including Rocco’s Perfect Slaves, Rocco’s Psycho Teens, and True Anal Stories. He's pretty much had more sex than most men have in their entire lives.

Considering Siffredi’s a man who fucks for a living, his abstinence vow seems like the biggest form of adoration anyone could dedicate to the Italian team. To commemorate his vow of celibacy, Siffredi is letting users jack off to his website for free for five days starting today. Interested to learn more about why any man—let alone a porn star—would give up sex for a soccer ball, I called Siffredi to discuss his celibacy vow, the World Cup, and the best orgasm he’s ever had.

VICE: Why did you decide to remain celibate while Italy competes in the World Cup?
Rocco Siffredi: I just thought it would be a fun way to test myself, to see if I could hold out for that long. It seemed like a bet for myself to see if I could hold out on sex for the entire time the Italian team is in Brazil.

How often do you usually have sex?
Almost every day. It is my life. When I film I have sex, then I come home and my wife and I have sex. I’m a very sexual person, so she’s always there if I want to have sex, and if she wants to have sex, I’m always ready.

Prior to this, what is the longest you went without fucking?
Fifteen years ago, I was in the hospital in a lot of pain for a few days, so I didn’t have very much sex then.

I understand that you probably didn't want to.
Yes, and I was there for a circumcision, which was painful, but even with my dick all full of bandages and stitches, I was able to have a little sex. A girl could play with my dick without moving it up and down too much, and I could still cum.

How do you plan on distracting yourself from sex?
Sex in itself is a sport, and when you compete in sports, it makes you even hornier. I’m going to throw myself into sports to exert my extra energy so I don’t feel like anything is missing. I want to tire myself out enough that I don’t think about sex.

Is masturbation included in your celibacy vow?
No, no! I did not exclude myself from masturbating—just from sex with a woman.

How would you compare an orgasm to Italy winning the World Cup?
Imagine the pleasure of when you have a team winning the world cup. In 2006, it was a huge, huge, huge pleasure. It is the same, a huge orgasm and a huge event. Just that moment of winning would be a huge orgasm. I really want them to win. The whole nation watching the same event and experiencing that pleasure. What orgasm could be better than that?
