Gay Porn 101: Jean-Daniel Cadinot

>Mike's last Frenchy post reminded me of the tres magnifique French director Jean-Daniel Cadinot. I was introduced to his oeuvre when a trick left a copy of Le Coursier at my house. Little French boys plowing each other with giant dildos ... I immediately became a fan.

Cadinot's has had an extremely long career in gay porn. He published his first book of nudes in 1975 under the name "Masculin", and started making blue movies ten years later. Since, he's produced some really terrific titles. At times the quality can be a tad inconsistent, and art direction is all over the map, but overall, his titles really get me off, especially his military ode Service Actif, Sex Bazaar (an early 80s romp in a Turkish bath considered by some to be his best) and the utterly quaint La Maison Bleue.

Due perhaps to poor distribution in the States, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. It's really a shame, since his stuff is definitely worth checking out. He tends to cast with an eye to the twink. But he also consistently finds some diverse exotic beauties; young Turks, mocha-skinned Moroccans, and adorable Arab men (worth crossing the desert for) all routinely end up in front of Cadinot's camera.

One of the things that makes his films so appealing is he seems to work with mostly unknowns (unknown to me, at least) with one major exception (but more on that in a second). Also, they all have really charming French names like "Jean-Jacques" "Giles" and "Benoit."

Browsing around Cadinot's site, I came across this free image gallery of Ramzes Kairoff, who bears a curiously striking resemblance to one Michael Lucas, despite the fact that Ramzes seems not to be making Lucas' trademark pout.

I've since lost my copy of Le Coursier. I actually left it at a different trick's house (karma can be a bitch). But for now I'm looking forward to checking out the ten films he has on Naked Sword.

Also, Marco Tazzio, from Service Actif, looks like a swarthy version of my friend, Chrisafer.

L'Amour, L'Amour: French Gay Porn

I am bored/angry watching the Republican National Convention (I'm waiting for the war on pornography to rear its nasty head) and it makes me sad that they can't come up with something more clever than making fun of the French.

I response, may I recommend Le Maison Bleue, a pre-condom tale of French sailors and their adventures in an all-male whorehouse filmed by gay porn auteur Jean Daniel Cadinot?

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. And hot French porn. Not these assholes.

Gay Porn to the Rescue: Starring Joe Foster

It's nice to see the kids from Wet Palms are here and all up in it -- I missed you guys somefin' terrible. And the fam was super-psyched to see the photos Jack took on set. I used them for, um, inspiration while writing scenes for next season.

Family life is tiring. I just got back from two weeks at the beach house and if I never see Scooby-Doo again, it will be fine with me. On the other hand, I'm getting really crazy about Joe Foster.

Sleeping arrangements didn't permit me to do much but dream of the Aussie stud in my twin bed -- and with no Internet, I couldn't really take advantage of Naked Sword -- but I thought a lot about his scene in Try Me On ... For Size where he trades underwear with super-hunk Jason Hawke, then trades positions --alternately plugging and getting plugged. Hot.

-- Mike

Hmmm... Joe (sometimes Joey) Foster. One of the highlights of 2003 for me was when I was seated next to Mr. Foster at Chevy's Fresh Mex. I was drooling in my (fresh of El Machino) chips and salsa.

He surely was porn's it-boy last year, and since he moved to Italy with his friend (but not boyfriend) Filippo Romano earlier this year, his output has declined but at least now he doesn't have to worry about over-exposure.

According to his Friendster Profile, he's since moved to Monaco.

Brad Benton: The Gay Porn Blog Interview

Yet another porn star whose attention Mike and I were volleying for on the set of Wet Palms, Brad Benton's captivating Southern charm and magnetic personality can effortlessly capture anyone's attention. And he's a damn fine actor-slash-porn-star to boot. If ever there was a Susan Lucci of gay porn it would be Brad Benton because he's been nominated for like a gazillion GayVNs and Grabbies but to date has only won two -- a Best Actor GayVN for "There Goes the Neighborhood," and a Performer of the Year Grabby.

Just how many nominations? OK here's the full list:

For GayVN, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Carnal Intentions), Best Actor (A Dream Come True), Best Threeway (Aspen 5), Best Sex Scene (Feast Your Eyes), Best Sex Scene (There Goes the Neighborhood), Best Threeway (Big Timber), Best Group Scene (Big Timber), as well as Performer of the Year and Best Newcomer.

For the Grabbies, he was nominated for Best Newcomer, Best Supporting Actor (Carnal Intentions), Best Actor (A Dream Come True), Best Sex Scene (Carnal Intention), Best Group Scene (Aspen 5), Best Sex Scene (Feast Your Eyes), Best Supporting Actor (There Goes the Neighborhood) and Best Sex Scene (There Goes the Neighborhood).

Jason Ridge: The Gay Porn Blog Interview

Things haven't been the same since Jason Ridge came into my life. He's so handsome, you have but only to wonder why he hasn't become a major Hollywood star. Maybe one day. For now, gay porn has him.

His bedroom eyes (the color of which "change with his mood") give off a a devilish twinkle that make you think there's more going on than he lets on. An enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a corn-fed versatile bottom.

You know, when I think of it, there was this dude on the cover of Playgirl a few months ago, who I swear could be Jason's straight, evil twin brother. But the Playgirl dude was saying things like, "I fantasize about being with two girls at the same time. I love to please and I want to give them the best orgasms of their lives." Does my baby got a secret?

Single/taken? Single.

Age? 29.

Hometown? Chicago.

Day Job: Being a star of my magnitude is a twenty-four-hour-a-day job. (laughs)

Registered to Vote? Yes.

How can fans get in touch with you? Through my web site, JasonRidge.com.

Do your parents know? Yes. My dad does, he supports me 100% -- he says as long as I'm happy. My mom knows about certain aspects, like the softcore stuff.

How did you come up with your porn name? My commute in Chicago from home to work was Ridge Avenue.

First gay experience? Age 16, while watching Torch Song Trilogy. One of my friends invited me over and popped in the movie and was touching me. I was so nervous. We got in the bed and I felt his hard-on pressed against me. But I was getting a hard on, too.

A sex act you haven't tried? DP.

What do you think is your best asset? My kindness and generosity.

What is your worst asset? My shyness ... my unapproachableness.

Celeb you'd most like to bed? Johnny Depp.

Last concert? Madonna. Reinvention tour. (He grins.)

Secret fear? Flying.

Favorite magazine? I'm into cars, so I like auto magazines. But I need my weekly fix on celebrity gossip.

Favortie non-porn movie sex scene? The one in "Thelma and Louise" with Brad Pitt.

Fave album to fuck to? Marvin Gaye.

Can you cook? No. But I've tried. I've recorded shows off the food network ... but it just doesn't work. (Laughs.)

What's next for you? Continue making movies. Settle down with someone. Not necessarily looking for my soul mate, because if you look for it you're not going to find it. But I know he's out there. (Ed Note: Awww ...)

Cody Cash: The Gay Porn Blog Interview

Age? 23

Hometown? Worcester, Massachusetts is where I grew up, I lived in MA for 21 yrs. and then flew the coop to Tampa, Florida for about a year.

How can fans get in touch with you? My fans can see me @ CodyCash.net which was designed by me and a good friend and in the process of building the free site I gained enough knowledge to start a pay site which should be up and ready for commerce within a couple weeks, I hope.

Do your parents know? Well, I must say they do NOW, thanks to a certain group of "Fans" that insist on harassing and stalking me�as a�token of there loyalty. Some assholes decided to take it upon themselves to have my family hand delivered a telegram to their house and the telegram pretty much did the trick. So yeah they know but if I'm happy, they're happy, that's the way it is and always has been.

How did you come up with your Porn Name? I have always liked the name Cody and when I was in Tampa, a good friend in the business shot nudes of me and we used the name Cody. My manager was the one who came up to me with "Cash" and I loved it so I agreed and I became Cody Cash pretty much over-fucking-nite.

Your first gay experience? My first gay experience was in Tampa on film actually and it was now a little over a year ago now.

Favorite porn sex scene that you're in? My favorite scene so far that I've seen is "Jet Set Direct" with Ken Ryker but I honestly think that the MSR video "Rough Trade" that is on it's way to the shelves as we speak could be some STIFF competition if you know what I mean.

Favorite porn sex scene that you're not in? I love the scene in "Brianna Loves Jenna" when Jenna fucks Brianna with a strap-on.

Corniest line of porn dialogue you've had to deliver? All the dialouge in the Studio 2000 video "Bad Boys Club" but don't tell Bill Sheffler that.

What was the first porn film you ever saw? I dont know what the name of it was but it was with Traci Lords.

Name a sex act you haven't tried? Can't think of one other than being fucked with a strap on by a hot porn star chic

What do you think is your best asset? My personality is what everyine says is the best and I have to say that I agree. My smile may be influential at times as well. grin.

What do you think is your worst asset? I'm a little sensitive at times I guess.

Worst habit? Saying "FUCK"

Celebrity you'd most like to bed? Paris Hilton or Kirsten Dunst.

Last Concert?Outkast and Black Eyed Peas

Secret Fear? Being someone else ...

Favorite Magazine? Maxim and FHM.

What's your workout routine like? Mostly Calisthetics (push-ups, sit-ups and a whole LOT of fucking).

Favorite non-porn movie sex scene? Halle Berry in "Swordfish" (ed. note: EW.)

Favorite album to fuck to? I love to fuck to hot house music and ill breakbeats to really get down to.

Can you cook? Yeah, I can cook but I never do. I can cook good breakfast though but then again, who can't?

What's in the future for you? Definitely not running for Governor this year ... or next but, who knows? Me, I hope to be a well-known star and make my own productions from start to finish for my own company. Or find me a nice older man who's got a really BIG pool that need's tending to ...

Dean Phoenix (!!!): The Gay Porn Blog Interview

I've been enjoying the last few weeks of summer ... Mike's on vacation in a faraway land ... I wish I could come up with a better excuse for why I haven't posted anything in so long, but I think this more than makes up for it: An Exclusive Interview With Dean Phoenix.

Yes, THE Dean Phoenix. He's back (well, almost). By now you surely know the drill: He's coming out of "retirement" to star (and bottom) in Buckshot's upcoming "BuckleRoos" ... John Rutherford ... Marcus Iron ... yadda yadda yadda ... I'm almost sick it's got me so excited.

I still haven't the foggiest what a "BuckleRoo" is. But it's fucking Dean Phoenix. What more can I say? I've probably already said it.

Dean Phoenix!!!

Sheesh.

Single/Taken? Single

Age? 30

Day Job? In-between jobs.

Hometown? Imperial, CA

How can fans get in touch with you? deanphoenix@hotmail.com

Do your parents know? They are very supportive of me being gay, but I don't think I 'll ever be ready to tell them of anything extracurricular.

How did you come up with your porn name? Dean is my middle name and Phoenix comes from my childhood idol, River Phoenix, who had intrigued me always. I kind of see myself in him ... yeah, that too.

Your first gay experience? My senior year of High School, my best friend, Marcus Werner (foreign exchange stud -- I mean -- student from Germany) and I wrestled together on the team and had girlfriends on the cheerleading squad.

I spent the night at his house and we got ready for bed (family asleep) and we wrestled in the dark on his bed, but we didn't have any kind of sex. Someone just popped a boner and then found ourselves cuddling and kissing. We broke up with our girls the next day.

Favorite porn sex scene that you're in? Out of Athens.

Favorite porn sex scene that you're NOT in? In BuckleRoos, I wanted to be the in the one where Marcus Iron teaches the Mormons how to fuck! Marcus ... you lucky dog!

Gay Porn Blog Rocks "Anal Sex Month"

Gay men may have lost the right to marry (at least in California), but thanks to the kids at Good Vibrations we can spice up August by enjoying Anal Sex Month. I suggest a repeat viewing of Butt Busters to honor those in touch with their duodenum.

For those of you in condition to Hunt and Plunge with the best of them, I applaud you. I've kept my pucker relatively quiet, but after hearing Chad Donovan declare that even he "needs an attitude adjustment" occasionally, I'm probing the idea. Maybe I'd be less of a prig if I surrendered the pink more frequently.

Here's to half-a-month of ass-banging adventure!

Gay Porn's Boys from Brazil

Nuts. Rio. Porn. I first fell for a Brazilian when I saw Kristen Bjorn's Paradise Plantation. My boyfriend watched the porn reluctantly (it was an experiment in spicing up a doomed relationship). I was amazed by the dark, uncut men who could go all day and still get the cum fucked out of them at the end of each scene...

More recently, Brazil's become one of porn (gay and straight) most favored nations. Certainly Brazil's dire economic situation is one of the reasons (the same goes for Eastern Europe and in, some arguments, the United States), but Brazilian notorious sexual fluidity is surely a contributing factor.

Not to mention that Brazilian men originated the muscular bubble butt. Their reputation for being hung thick and long is no doubt meant facilitate the deep pink riches of that native crevasse. Carnivale and coffee may all be well and good but for me, Brazil is all about the meat.

A buffet of gay porn, fresh from the shores of Copacabana Beach. Take your pick from Brazil Nuts, Hot Brazilian Truckers, Men of the Brazilian Military, Young Hung Brazilian Boys or take it all at the Brazilian Meatrack.

Gay Porn Review: Marc Anthony

The most expensive gay porn ever produced, or as the box boasts, "The Biggest Budget Gay Movie Ever!" al-leg-ed-ly (and I say that with my best Star Jones accent) Marc Anthony has a lot in common with Liz Taylor's "Cleopatra" -- slow moving, excessively long, overproduced and at times unintentionally funny. The European studio Private (now Mansize) sunk a bunch of Euros into producing their first gay flick, and the results are a mixed bag to say the least.

The cast of mostly unknown Euro-hunks may be this film's one saving grace. Shortly after its release last year, versatile hottie Mario Perez, (who plays Marc Anthony), went on to sign an exclusive contract with Titan Media as Marcos David.

Note to porn producers out there: eyeliner on men is never sexy in porn.

Watch it now on NakedSword.com

Starring Mario Perez, Janos Volt, Black Jack, Nico Blade, Luis Casas, Lucas Foz, Deny, Ricsi Volt Lesz, Kevin Kline and Maxim. Directed by Sebastiano Brogi. 2003.

Gay Porn-Erotica: Juanita MORE's "Booty Call"

I've been meaning to post something about Juanita MORE!, one of San Francisco's most enigmatic drag muses, and her completely hot "Booty Call" photos, which feature sexy boys in various states of undress in her apartment, but then the boys at Banana Guide beat me to it. Check it out and then check her out and then buy a print or a T-shirt.

Gay Porn's Latin Lover: Diego De La Hoya

Gay porn stars don't get much more appetizing than Diego De La Hoya. We first met the COLT man in June at the Bel Ami/COLT Studio Boys 2 Men Party where he was doing his best to promote COLT's Buckleroos wrap with Edu Boxer. He was all like "Why haven't I seen you around before?" and even though I knew he was acting all porn star playa with me, my knees went weak. He's that handsome.

"This Puerto Rican papi, used to be a Deacon --
Now he be sucking me off on the weekend"
-- Lil' Kim "How Many Licks?"

Diego's no slouch, though -- he works hard for the money. The uncut preacher-turned-porn star (you heard me!) was just named NakedSword's August Dream Team Inductee. And while we were in LA, he was on The Tim and Roma Show acting sweet and nasty. Plus he told me I make his nipples smile. HOT!

-- Mike

Gay Porn Idol: Jet Set's American Porn Star

A gay porn contest where Jason Adonis is the competition and the prize? Grease, er, sign me up! Hot. Loves it.

Actually, this Jason Sechrest hosted take-off of the popular twink-a-thon drew the copyright ire of producers at Fox. But they got over it -- I mean, it's not the first time a porno has twisted a title -- no one bothered to sue over American Booty or Mantasy Island, did they?

Wet Palms: Sneak Peek at the First Gay Porn Soap Opera

OK, so sorry posts have been so light lately, but Mike and I are still trying to switch gears back to our humdrum lives after a whirlwind week of 17 hour production days and hob-nobbing with the porn elite. I tried to keep a log of what was going on, and even though I gave up after day five, I still managed to write over 7,000 words. I'll spare you the torture ...

We did have a great time, though. Here's a picture of the cast:

Top row (l to r): Rod Barry, Jason Secrest, Jason Ridge, Bret Wolfe, Michael Soldier, Gabriel Knight, Rob Romoni

Bottom row (l to r): Paolo Cortez, Ashton Sorensen, Cody Cash, Brad Benton, Ethan Marc

More (and better) pictures soon.

Ashton Sorensen: The Gay Porn Blog Interview

Being they're so selective, when Jet Set names a new exclusive, people take note (I know I can't wait to see who the next Tag Eriksson or Brett Mycles will be). So, when I heard that their latest exclusive, Ashton Sorensen, would be making a guest appearance in the first season of Wet Palms, I was excited to meet him.

Talk about one strong contender for the title the Brigitte Bardot of gay porn! This handsome blond German with soft features, and a hard body emotes this "European-ness" that's hard to put your finger on, but undeniably sexy, chic and sophisticated nonetheless. Kinda like Bel Ami's Tim Hamilton but with an edge ...

Though originally only scheduled to be in one sex scene in the first season of Wet Palms, we all so quickly fell in love with him that we put him in two. Somewhere during the course of filming last week, Rob Romoni dubbed him "Bam Bam," and it really stuck for some reason. So, with that, I introduce you to Jet Set's latest exclusive: Ashton "Bam Bam" Sorensen.

Single/taken? Single

Age? 23

Day Job? Real Estate

Hometown? Hamlin, Germany

How can fans get in touch with you? Via Jet Set. (ed note: We'll be glad to pass along any notes or marriage proposals))

Do your parents know? No - but I think they've guessed.

First gay experience? 20 and I was sitting in a hotel with my best friends and a Latin guy cruised me and he asked me for a drink ... in his hotel room.

Favorite Porn sex scene? I've never seen a gay porn.

A sex act you haven't tried? Fisting.

What do you think is your best asset? My teeth are whilte, although I've never bleached them.

Worst habit? Maybe I shouldn't drink so much?

Celeb you'd most like to bed? Ricky Martin.

Last concert? Madonna.

Secret fear? Rattlesnakes.

Fave magazine? FHM.

Fav non-porn movie sex scene? The one with Winona Ryder in Mermaids. The first time I jerked off I thought about that.

Gay Porn Soap Sex-periments

Jack and I are still recovering from a grueling but exhilarating shoot. But with post-production looming and the impending re-launch of WetPalms.com, the work has only just begun.

While we've certainly been blessed with an extremely talented cast and generous producers and a stellar director, it'd be unfair if we didn't pay tribute to those gay porn soaps that have gone before us, Dynastud and Gays of Our Lives.
