Gay Porn Star: Roman Ragazzi Signs With Raging Stallion

In these conservative Dark Ages, the flame of the Renaissance may seem stuck on a permanent sputter. But as in the past medieval gave way to a resurgent focus on beauty, intellect and vigorous debate, we can perhaps hope that the previous decade's gay porn focus on toothy orange models with spiky blond hair and GHB-inspired water weight is coming to the close. Witness, for example, the Michelangelo-worthy Roman Ragazzi.

He may not be your standard pretty boy, but at least he ain't a pretty girl, either. He was discovered by Collin O'Neal (a man who's never shy about his discoveries -- or anything else he comes up with) and has been added to Raging Stallion's growing stable of mammoth and hirsute (think Jake Deckard) anti-twinks.

I haven't yet spoken to Roman, so I can't vouch for vowels or witty repartee or whether or not he reads The New Yorker or how often whey protein pops up in casual conversation. I suppose I'll get to that eventually. In the meantime, I'm happy to set up my camp beneath Ragazzi's trunk like legs. Should the weather turn mean again -- or the ages turn darker -- at least I've got a thick pole with which to pitch my tent.

Gay Porn's Just Cropping Up Everywhere

First Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency ... then O'Reilly Factor, then a retail department store catalog ... just when I thought I'd seen it all ...

Click "Continue Reading" to see the downright bizarre source of the following gay porn-centric blurb, image, and caption:

[Will] Clark’s guest this night was the cartoonishly buff adult-film actor Diesel Washington, who appeared in various stages of undress throughout the evening, removing a layer of his baggy combat fatigues each time a patron achieved bingo. Mr. Clark, whose own outfit was accented by subtle nods to gay leather subculture in the form of a wallet chain and motorcycle boots, provided a running commentary to an audience slumped over their beers and bingo cards.

GAMESMANSHIP Will Clark, right, the M.C. of “porno bingo,” with Matt Cole at the Ninth Avenue Bistro.

Would you believe they're all from yesterday's New York Times, in an article by David Shaftel on the gay-trification of Hell's Kitchen?

Erik Rhodes: America's Next Bottom Model

I was less surprised to see Erik Rhodes on the cover of the Loehmann's catalog than by the fact that he's wearing the same thing he wore in Driver.

Gay Porn Webcast: Live from the GayVNs

Stop me if you've heard this one: A porn star, a drag queen and a tiny baggie walk into a bar... wait, scratch that.

Okay, okay. It's unfunny cause it's true. For those of you who weren't in San Francisco for the debaucherous GayVN weekend (or, alternately, if you were here but don't remember it), the Tim and Roma show has just released their now-annual and fantastic GayVN Awards Show episode, proving that it's not impossible to cringe while erect. In addition to footage from the awards, there's the unbeatable red carpet footage, including a special audience award in which Rod Barry and Erik Rhodes tie for Most Beer-licious Porn Star. Fun times, kids. Let the slurring begin...

Gay Porn in Uniform: Blue Movies in the Green Zone?

Tomorrow marks the 4th anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, I'm given to review the numerous intersections of gay porn and the US military campaign. In fact, given the recent expose on poor conditions at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, one could fairly claim that the gay porn industry is providing better care for our boys than George Bush.

If I were coming back from a tour of Baghdad, I'd side with the 82nd Airborne division and put myself in the muscular hands of Dink Flamingo (of Active Duty fame) than George Bush's Gollum-esque claws. Baghdad may be a dry town, but based on the footage online, Fort Bragg seems to be a party base.

All Worlds director Dirk Yates did most of his reality-style porn directing in peace time (in echoes of this month's Matt Sanchez scandal, Dirk was cemented in the porn firmament in 1993 when Tom Brokaw uncovered Dirk Yates' "Marine Porn Ring" on the nightly news), but he's still the standard-bearer for all the molestory hopeful's wishing to supplement a guy's GI Bill.

While Cpl. Matt Sanchez might claim that gay porn was a personal low point for him, blue movies trump the Green Zone for many vets. Take "Aidyn" (no word on his military name) at JakeCruise.com: not long ago his abdomen was sliced open by an IED, now his ass is being split by Jake's tongue. Even if Jake isn't your type, it's pretty easy to choose between the two.

Meanwhile, back at base, it's Beach Party Vietnam all over again. Could you imagine a better porn set than the pools at Saddam's palace?

Of course, most gay military movies end up looking a lot more like the Scandavian reality show, "Gay Army."

Gay Porn News: "Dirty" Sanchez Update

A few poor, confused readers commented on last week's Rod Majors/Matt Sanchez story, suggesting it was hypocritical of us -- and the gay community at large -- to take him to task just for doing porn and being a Republican. One reader pointed out that he was merely standing up against being harassed which is something we gay people should understand.

Luckily, before I could respond, Matt Sanchez opened his mouth on Alan Colmes' radio show yesterday and instead of stuffing it with a fat cock in it for once, he exposed what a jackass he is (and a poor liar, to boot).

You can listen to the clip here, but in it Sanchez says the porn was from 15 years ago (and wasn't just gay porn), and although he was an escort, he never "catered" to gay men, nor does he consider himself gay. Further, most of his clients "weren't gay" and "tons" of them were women, even.

Colmes asks why there was an massage ad in a 2004 issue of the New York Blade with his current phone number and he just flounders. John Aravois of Americablog points out that according to IMDB his last movie was 1999.

Of course, you don't need to be John Aravois or Alan Colmes to figure out this guy is a big self-hating, lying fag. We gays have a collective memory like an elephant's ... especially when it comes to our ex-tricks. Michael Lucas himself was kind enough to share his Matt Sanchez story with us:

I was first introduced to him when he emailed me and was trolling after me trying to hook up, telling me how big and luscious his cock was and when that didn't work, how bubbly and juicy his ass was. I politely explained to him that I do not just hook up for fun as I am very busy, and he was welcome to pay me for my escort services even though he was an escort himself.

The first time I met him we were both hired to escort a client, an experience that was so uninteresting that I have forgotten almost all of it so I don't have any juicy details to share. About 2 or 3 years ago, though, I ran into him at Bowery Bar where he was standing in the middle of the club chatting with some guy. I essentially found myself standing next to him, so naturally I said hello. He looked me up and down and in the nastiest, most arrogant tone replied, "Excuse me, don't you see that we are talking?" I thought to tell him immediately that I knew they were talking and remind him that we had actually "worked" together, as he was obviously embarrassed for his friend to find out, but I just turned around and left instead.

And he gets around. Esteemed blogger Andy Towle reported on his blog:

... Matthew Sanchez and I met at a gay bar in San Jose, California and went on a few dates in 1989 when I was a graduate student at Stanford. I haven't seen him since. It was brought to my attention after we had finished dating that he had gone on to do gay adult films but I had no idea he had joined the military and was also holding hands with folks who would be so loath to accept him into their ranks had they any clue to his background.

Now ... any more confusion about what makes him a hypocrite?

Gay Porn DVD: Lord of Milking

There are two things that get me to turn off Everybody Loves Raymond I Love New York Frontline and turn on gay porn: newly trendy sexual acts and old-fashioned perversion. In their latest release, Lord of Milking, Oh Man! hits a double header -- how could I not pop it (in)? Sure, it's a little weird that one of the stars of this European flesh fest is merely named "darkskin," but what do you expect when the plot involves a creepy manor dungeon, stranded hitchhikers and several chalices for, um, supping. Guess who's coming for dinner?

Of course, anytime we're confronted with such degeneracy, my mind is forced to come up with equivalencies -- just to get through the video. How else am I supposed to make sense of a ghost named Feti Chist?

Gay porn or Fleetwood Mac video?

Gay porn or Saw 4: Castro Toilets?

Gay porn or New Yorker cartoon awaiting caption?

Weird and foreign, sure, but what do you expect from the studio that brought us perverse hits like Legionnaires, French Farmers and Behind the Secret Door?

Also, I should note that despite the provocative title that despite a few instances of fingerbanging, there doesn't seem to be much of the seminal-discharge-through-prostate-massage form of milking, though heavy cream makes a few appearances...

Gay Porn Mystery: Mukhtar Safarov, Redux

Despite the "is it real or isn't it" debate still raging (well, maybe sort of whimpering) over in the comments section of the original post from last September, no one has been able to provide definitive proof one way or the other about Mukhtar Safarov perhaps-silicone-or-pump-enhanced horse cock, (although he seems to have finally taken down the terribly fakey pics of it from his web site.)

Two clips of him have recently shown up on YouTube (one from a Spanish daytime talk show?) that perhaps leave more questions unanswered than answered, but we report, and you decide, right?

Of course, one could just watch this movie starring Mukhtar just posted to Naked Sword, but where's the fun in that?

Gay Porn Before And After: Rod Majors

Before:

11-inch uncut stud Rod Majors, who appeared in mid-nineties classics like Idol Country, Built Tough, and Kristen Bjorn's Call of The Wild (as Pierre LaBranche)

After:

Cpl. Matt Sanchez: Right-wing talking head currently making the rounds on the usually rather gay-porn-phobic Hannity, O'Reilly, and even the devil herself Ann Coulter.

In response to the flurry of attention he's gotten since bloggers uncovered his gay porn past yesterday (it was the #1 story on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight, although they credited Huffington Post with breaking the story, not Tom Bacchus), he posted the following offensive defense/response on his otherwise rather-dull blog, where he sort of owns up to doing porn (but slams it) and skirts the issue of his sexuality altogether:

I don’t like porn, it reduces the mind, flattens the soul ... Like all followers of a cult, it’s tough to figure out when you stopped believing in the party-line, but I can tell you that by the time I finished my summer tour of the major studios, I was pretty disgusted with myself. It was an emotional low, and the people who surrounded me were like drug dealers only interested in being with the anesthetized in order not to shake off the stupor of being high ...

Gay Porn Babylon: GayVN Red Carpet Round Up

This was the first year that the GayVN Awards were held last weekend in San Francisco and for weeks the city was abuzz with one crucial question: What does one wear to the Gay Porn Oscars? (Cue the International Male hotline.)

As a public service (or is it a cautionary tale?), we present some of the highlights. This year, as it was in the beginning and will be until the end, the gay porn firmament is a guady, garish and gorgeous selection of homosexual indulgences. Having trouble with the stock market? You might want to invest in bronzer futures or put your money in peroxide. Forget the fugs; Tara Reid ain't got nuffin' on gay porn! If anyone knows where I can find a good deal on some unicorn pelt, I got some sewing to do...

Francois Sagat's crisp and clean in his white shirt, but it doesn't mean he can (or should) resist the gay porn's most enduring fashion dictum: The top of your shirt must remain sexily unbuttoned!

South Beach-meets-Serbia in Collin O'Neal as he checks his latest discovery, nine-inch New Yorker Roman Ragazzi, for misplaced piercings.

A Ma Barker chaperone ... the ultimate accessory!

Director Chris Steele and his own Ma Barker: GayVN Best Screenplay Nominee Austin Deeds.

Eddie Stone ... or Fred Flintstone?

Chi Chi paged Michael Alig ... and he answered!

Falcon exclusive Erik Rhodes bows to Kathy Griffin's catcall and shows us the suit he looks best in.

Curiosity shops: Porn-trepeneur Jason Sechrest brings West Hollywood north.

Of course, New Yorker Gus Mattox is nothin' but class.

Pocket Watchers: Distinguished gentleman Michael Lucas ...

... and Studio 2000 star Jeremy Hall swap the hanky code for pocket squares.

I guess when you're as sexy as Johnny Hazzard, you gotta hide your love away lest fans tear you to pieces.

The press, of course, is nothing but trouble.

Evidently Best Non-Sex Performance winner Paul Barresi was well suited to his Velvet Mafia role.

Yes, Doug Jeffries is America's Next Top Model. Or given his vast filmography, America's Last Top.

No comment. Feel free to supply your own.

O'Reilly's War on "Gay Porn Day" Grows

Momentum on the non-story about San Francisco's "Gay Porn Day" is growing, with the Associated Press running a story about it today, complete with quote from an outraged minister.

Here's the high-larious original clip I pulled these screencaps from, (complete with images he may have gently "borrowed" from this post) where Bill calls San Francisco a "modern day Sodom and Gomorrah" (a fact which we San Franciscans take tremendous pride in.)

I hope this all translates into lots and lots of DVD sales for COLT.

Chi Chi Launches Link V Production Blog

Chi Chi LaRue cut her fetishistic teeth directing the legendarily kinky and filth-tastic Link Series for All Worlds. So it makes sense that she would revive the tried-and-true dirty franchise now that she owns All Worlds (even though they promised the 3rd installment -- The Final Link would be the last and then dug up The Missing Link...)

But like Steisand's or Cher's never-ending "Farewell" tours, as long as it's hot we queers will stay loyal, and the just-announced 5th installment to the series -- Link V: The Evolution -- looks to be another scorching epic of filth. The teaser trailer, just posted on their brand new production blog, is intriguing to say the least, repleat with a jolting Carrie-esque hand popping out of a ... well, you'll just have to see it for yourself: Click here to watch.
