Northern roots
The name "North"
may refer to his Canadian or northern roots. Writer Steven Strager
speculated that North's stage name, like that of many other male
pornographic actors, "expresses the controlling man-as-penis
metaphor while precisely articulating the masturbator's big-dick
fantasies." Peter got famous also for his powerful cumshots.
North became involved in the government's 1986 investigation of
Traci Lords' underage involvement in the industry, including some
sex scenes with North. The government eventually dropped the investigation.
Veteran pornstar Christy Canyon confirmed a longstanding rumor in
her 2003 autobiography Lights, Camera, SEX!, revealing that North
does not like to have his hair touched during a scene, as it causes
him to lose his concentration.
