Webcast Waldo: Porn Star Francois Sagat Appears on Tim and Roma

Lately you can’t throw a rock -- or jerk a dick -- in San Francisco without hitting
Francois Sagat. Whether it’s perception (his distinctive scalp tattoo makes him particularly identifiable) or an aggressive social life (he is, after all, a hunk), I can sometimes hear of three or four sightings a day (Francois dining at Home in the Castro, Francois sauntering on Mission Street, Francois shopping at Safeway -- Francois! Francois! Francois!). Think of him as a Where’s Waldo for the fisting set. Lately, the buttboy of the banlieue has been getting around a little bit more.

Of course, Francois has never been a shirking violet when it comes to media, either. The French kisser appears on Tim and Roma this week, promoting Raging Stallion director Ben Leon’s Manifesto and Manhattan, as well as critiquing his own performance in last year’s Arabesque.

Raging Stallion’s ersatz Arabia brought a huge amount of deserved attention to the studio and studio head Chris Ward has followed it up with the real thing. Ward took globe-trotting hottie Francois to an undisclosed location in the Middle East for recently for a porn shoot. Talk about the Gaza Strip (I know, I know…).

Gay Porn Sneak Peek: "Manhattan"

Upcoming Raging Stallion release "Manhattan" suggests a promising stylistic expansion for the studio and also notably marks the directorial debut for Ben Leon, a handsome young buck I've had the pleasure of knowing even before he started working for RS as a production assistant a few years ago.

Leon's personal porn predilections toward lower-end straight stuff -- along with what he learned about making porn from Chris Ward -- merged to create his distinct directorial style, which he characterized as having "tons of camera movement and a looser editing style with action at its core."

Aesthetically, he is taking a less structured, almost verite approach, relying on natural light as much as possible and encouraging the models to "have a good time" as he shot. While less shadowy, he is perhaps taking a cue from Dark Alley, giving the movie a "slightly more everyday kind of feel" by interspersing the hardcore action with montages of "people hanging out, drinking beer ... etc." Three of the six sex scenes were filmed on roof tops, and many of the interior shots were shot in what Leon described as "risky situations" (though no one was arrested): one scene was even shot in front of a window across from a busy construction site.

Clocking in at 2.5 hours long and filmed on-location in NYC, "Manhattan" stars a wonderfully diverse cast of Raging Stallion Exclusives Manuel Torres, Marcos Pirelli, Justin Christopher and Francois Sagat along with Vin Nolan, Mario Cruz, Sergio Anthony and Ford Tuff. It comes out in the end of July, but until then enjoy this free hardcore image gallery.

Gay Porn Pride 2006

As usual, Gay Pride and Gay Porn intersected in San Francisco as homos from around the world descended upon the city by the bay to celebrate their queerness and right to watch gay porn.

Keep reading to see all the pictures ...

The festivities started a few days early this year, as usual hordes of drag aficionados and porn hopefuls showed up to see Chi Chi host a special "Gay Porn Pride" Trannyshack on this past Tuesday. Dean Monroe, Colby Taylor, Derrick Hanson, and Tony Bishop were just a few of the porn pups I spotted in the crowd being molested by Heklina.

On the day of the big parade, Falcon's Spokes III-themed float and booth featured stars of the movie Pierre Fitch, Ralph Woods, Justin Wells and Derrick Vinyard along with Lifetime Exclusive Matthew Rush. They even gave away a ten speed from in the movie.

Meanwhile, COLT recreated their hit Big Rig with a screening of the movie on an actual big rig parked outside notorious leather bar Powerhouse the night before. The flatbed then doubled as their float the next day -- topped with a sea of muscular COLT men Gus Mattox, Gage Weston, Luke Garrett, Chris Wide, Skye Woods, Brian Hanson, Jed Wilcox -- and even Mr. Pam in Waitress drag. Kiss her grits!

YouTube Round Up: [Censored] Celebrity Skin Edition

Fiddlesticks! I knew it was too good to be true. Just 24 hours after posting Vol. 2 of the celebrity skin round-up, Veoh decides to change their terms of service and stop letting users post porn clips.

In light of this lameness, below is the revised (and depressingly truncated) round up:

1. Eating Out Double Full Frontal
The much talked about clip from last year's indie gay sleeper (snoozer, perhaps...) "Eating Out" features "Desperate Housewife" pinup Ryan Carnes getting busy with the also-hot Scott Lunsford. It's a long clip (and I have no idea what's up with the Chinese subtitles) but you see Scott's cock at 7:44 and Ryan's at 8:15.

2. Ewan McGregor Spreads 'Em
Before he took a family-friendly turn for the Star Wars movies, Ewan used to drop trou and show off his fat cock in almost every movie he was in. One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies -- "Velvet Goldmine" -- he plays bisexual glam rocker Curt Wild, (loosely based on Iggy Pop) and not only drops his pants on stage but spreads open his ass cheeks, shakes his cock and and sprinkles himself with glitter while Johnathan Rhys Meyers watches on longingly.

3. QAF comparison: Gale Harold
Surely any queen worth his weight in Eros has seen Gale Harold's cock: I'm throwing this one in for old time's sake. A classic!

4. The Notorious "Ken Park" Father/Son Blowjob Scene
Not as hot as James Ransome jerking off while strangling himself, but every bit as scandalous!

Tiger Tyson Named to NakedSword Dream Team

In an industry where most men of color are relegated to roles more Dixie than Dirty South, Tiger Tyson has managed control the means of his own production and put a clever twist some old stereotypes (and no, at 9 1/2 inches, it ain't that his dick is small). The self-proclamed ex-thug does boast a prison record and a fondness for cheap tricks like posing with snakes and pouring champers down his chest, but he also runs his own line at Pitbull Productions and is expanding his appeal out of niche ghettos. But about that dick ...

Gay Porn Sneak Peek: "Leather Sessions"

Chi Chi LaRue's been getting so much focus lately for her plot-heavy runaway smash hit, Wrong Side of the Tracks, it's easy to forget the directrix cut her teeth on gritty all-sex leather movies (the highly regarded Link is considered by some to be the movie that defined the genre). With her latest, "Leather Sessions", Chi Chi channels that raw piggy sexual intensity we haven't seen since Bolt or even Mustang's Bang Bang.

There's also some twists to the casting that sets this apart from your rank-and-file leather-esque fetish-light movie. While there's definitely major daddy appeal with Rascal Exclusives Cole Ryder (who I've been waiting breathlessly for ever since they announced him) and Tyler Riggz, Chi casts against type with baby-faced Simon Angel and Adam Young, which creates this pervy juxtaposition that really drives me wild.

Amateur Porn Circle Jerk: Ookie Gookie Cookie Comes of Age

Few things are as central to amateur porn as the circle jerk. In both the the Fear Factor-esque tween legend Ookie Gookie Cookie, and oft-rumored frat house sausage party hazing, certain elements are integral: straight men, stolen glances and "reluctant" contact with semen. Unlike an orgy, the erotic wellspring is not carnal abandon. In the circle jerk, a line in the sand is drawn at hand jobs.

Big studio porn has traditionally had little respect for the circle jerk -- most of the gay guys would go down on their neighbor for the same fee that they'd jerk him off -- cause who doesn't want more? For smaller studios and amateur sites -- especially those that focus on straight guys -- circle jerks are the closest you can get real Marines (or college jocks or fast-food restauranteurs) to do without having to pay more. And you don't have to deal with the crisis of sexual identity after your butch surfer "comes to" and realizes he's now an official cocksucker. With circle jerks (and Tara Reid), it's all good -- your buddies doing it, too.

Randy Blue seems to have a special thing for circle jerks, and despite their relative low-impact performances, they are incredibly hot. It's partly because of the restraint secretly gay guys have to show in front of the straight guys in the group. I mean, you always want what you can't have, right?

Like directors Marine-coaxer Dirk Yates or nasty perverts like the Body Shoppe's Uncle Don or Auntie Bob (each highly skilled at convincing straight guys that yanking on your roommates cock requires no shift in sexual identity), Randy Blue seems to relish those near mythical schoolboy scandals that -- somehow -- I never stumbled upon. His latest -- featuring a smattering of RB favorites, newbies and gay-for-pay types -- has had me digging through the archives. If only I'd had the nerve to start one myself, I wouldn't have been stuck with my mouse and my meat. Eh, who am I kidding: I'd be here either way.

Gay Porn Preview: Falcon's "Spokes 3"

When people ask me what my favorite porn film of all time is I usually get flummoxed. At best, I can come up with a list of five, but Spokes and Spokes II are usually somewhere on that list, if not at the top.

When Chris Steele asked Mike and I to write the script for Spokes 3, I was equally flummoxed. Would we be able to do the twisted legacy of Spokes justice? Hopefully we did OK. With Chris in the director's chair and Mason Wyler getting gang-banged by the likes of freakishly horse hung Ralph Woods, Pierre Fitch Derrick Vinyard and five others, it was pretty hard to fuck it up.

Anyway ... free preview after the jump, so you can judge for yourself.

Gay Porn Stars: Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita Vacation

Filming hasn't even started yet but that hasn't stopped Michael Lucas from living La Dolce Vita. The gay porn impresario took a tour of Peru prior to commencing production on his high-fashion follow up to Dangerous Liaisons.

While it's one thing for a gay man to be photographed with a gerbil (well, a guinea pig actually, and the raw-foodist nudist swore to me that he saved it from certain death: it's supposedly the Peruvian national dish), an alpaca is positively perverse. The wooly mammal (reminds me of Cal "Speedy" Reynolds a bit, truth be told.) is set to star in the next next installment of Auditions ... as a rug, of course.

Reese Rideout Rides Again

There have been a lot of picky queens caterwauling otherwise, but based on these photos of Reese Rideout from the January issue of Freshmen, we think our pal Randy Blue has picked his latest exclusive well. Reese was shooting for Body Image at the time (the picks are from Body Solo 8), but I'm glad Randy got him to ditch the facial hair; musculature like needs no adornment.

("Straight" Reese passed another milestone recently his first oral scene. He may suck dick like a straight guy, but I think he's finally getting the hang of it just like your sister's fiance did.)
