Gay Sex Producer Falcon Goes Straight

Falcon unveiled the latest foray into an increasingly competitive porn market this week, with Falcon Str8Men, a site dedicated to hot men and the money that gets them to jack off before the camera.
While sites like Randy Blue, Dirty Boy Video and Sean Cody blur the line between straight and gay, Falcon's embraced the straight man in all his testosteroidal glory -- their trailer bears the tag "Get ready for real men," and the site's tagline is "Hot. Sexy. Straight."

So far it's only solos, but I imagine there are more than a few exlcusives waiting with baited breath for a chance to dig in ...

The Gay Sex Vote: Tiger Tyson Thinks McCain's Got It In the Bag

Tiger Tyson's a scrappy prize-fighter (while on the set for a recent photo shoot, he told me that he grew up fighting and still thinks that it's the second best way to take out your aggressions). That said, he's not so keen on the current dust-up between Hillary and Obama, either, but that's more because he thinks the whole things is a plot cooked up to distract us. I thought he'd picked up some odd French ideas on his recent trip to Paris, but the longer this goes on, the more I think he's onto something.

Remembering Jean-Daniel Cadinot

To me one of the saddest things about Jean-Daniel Cadinot's death is not so much his relatively young age (64) but the fact that his work has become somewhat unknown to gay audiences in the US for reasons I'm having a hard time understanding. He was a true legend and at the forefront of the field since he started making gay porn 30 years ago.

A teenage runaway, Cadinot studied photography at the prestigious National School of Photography in France. After working for a mainstream French film company, he started directing porn in 1978 -- first as "Tony Dark" and under his real name after 1984.

Gay Porn Triplets (Finally) Get Naked

Much has been written about the Visconti Triplets (née Timari Triplets) thus far but little has been seen (below the waist). Here's the Cliff's Notes version to get you up to speed: Budapest-born Joey, Jimmy and Jason Visconti were discovered by George Duroy who sequestered them for over a year while he trained them to be Bel Ami boys.

Before Duroy released a single scene with them, they left Bel Ami and signed a two-year exclusive contract with the relatively unknown Elite Male Studios -- an offshoot of delightfully low-rent US Male Studios. Bel Ami announced that they'll be releasing a scene with two of the three brothers within the next few weeks online. Elite has filmed a scene with all three but hasn't given a release date.

Some have speculated that these triplets are really just two twins and one brother. The theory gains some traction when you look at their cocks: notice how the two on the end have cocks that turn downward while one in the middle has a cock that curves upward. Triplets should have, like, three identical cocks, right?

Check out two hardcore image galleries of the Visconti/Timari Triplets after the jump:

AMG Launches "Dirty Joke" Contest

Picture it: Brazil, 2007: George W. Bush is getting fucked in the ass by a duck and a gorilla:

Sadly this is no April Fool's, but it is a joke ... a joke lacking a punchline, which is where you come in, cumstained readers. In conjunction with their new release, Carnival, AMG launched a contest where the person who comes up with the best dirty joke involving George W., a duck and a gorilla wins a ton of porn. To read more or to enter the contest, go here.

Sagat, Lucas & Rhodes Penetrate Deeper Into Fashion

April issue of artsy Brit fashion mag i-D features an interview with Francois Sagat where he talks about working for gay-tastic designer Karl Lagerfeld, photographer Mario Testino and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld (who knew?). They also feature an extensive spread of Francois dressed in weird clothes and doing things I have a hard time explaining:

The March issue of i-D featured Michael Lucas in a feature about Donatella Versace (Get OUT!). They don't really explain why he's pictured, but I'm sure they're friends or something:

Somewhat less glamorous -- but equally impressive, nonetheless -- Erik Rhodes is featured in two full-page ads for Loehmann's running in LA bar rag Frontiers. Last year he appeared on the cover of one of their catalogs and in the in-store displays (click continue to see both of his ads):

Widespread Cum in Eyes May Have Made Falcon Bareback Question Unclear

Jack's post yesterday about Falcon's not-quite-so-new policy of allowing oral cum shots ended causing more consternation than good. We spent the morning talking to directors who thought the decision meant that Falcon was going bareback, gay stars who thought they were going to have to choose between their version of safe sex and Falcon's, and gay studio heads who either shared the Falcon policy or or contested it.

The trouble is, none of this is quite new. Lucas Entertainment and Gay studios like Raging Stallion have been allowing oral cum shots for awhile and Falcon International director (and former Bel Ami model) Tim Hamilton has been using them since European Holiday last year. As far back as Chris Steele's Riding Hard, models have been eating their own cum.

Partly because of the marketing, which highlighted the cum shots, and partly because Falcon had used former exclusive Josh Weston -- now a bareback star -- the issues seemed to be getting conflated.

Pride for Pay? Johnny Castle to Headline Houston Parade

I've never had much of an issue with gay-for-pay stars. Some are in it for the money, some are just sexually confused and some are just plain hot. So I know that Johnny Castle, for instance, is never going to fall in love with me, but I could easily get a nut thinking that he might let me lick his balls for a few hours (assuming I pay the Forest Meet the Stars fee, of course). He's many things to many people, including a hunky piece of meat to me, but I'm not sure what he's doing pushing Pride.

A Brief History of the Gay Porn Mugshot

This is a timeline based only on the gay porn mugshots I've collected over the last four years editing this site (less one I had to remove at the behest of a cranky manager). From beating an elderly couple to stealing credit cards from a dead man, these anything-but-sexy crimes read more like a blotter of the world's creepiest crimes.

As far as gay porn arrests go, this is merely the tip of the iceberg -- Mattias Von Fistenberg and Collin O'Neal were both arrested while filming movies, for example, but I've never been able to track down either mugshot so they're spared from this.

Keyon (above) and Teyon (below): Feb 2008
Twins Keyontyli and Teleon Goffney were arrested in Philadelphia for trying to steal the cash out of a beauty salon's ATM and were promptly connected with at least 35 other robberies. It took porn fans all of six days to figure out they were the gay porn twins Keyon and Teyon who did a handful of scenes and cam shows, most notably a threeway on Blackmen.net with Marc Williams, where Marc bottomed for the first time on camera.

Nickolay Petrov: Jan 2008
Nickolay Petrov (aka Edmon Vardanyan) was arrested in Florida and charged beating and stalking a couple in their 60s. Petrov was actually hired to kill them but couldn't quite pull it off. The (former?) Jet Set Exclusive faces up to 20 years in prison.

Big Brother's Crazy James Goes Head Over Heels for Hunter

Good morning Jason & Damian...

No, I didn't have a threeway with Jason Ridge and Ridgeline Exclusive Damian Rios, last night, we were just filming an episode of the Tim & Roma show.

Love, Gay Porn Style

I can't say I've ever actually read an article in S.F. bar-rag Gloss Magazine. Not that I don't thoroughly enjoy flipping through the colorful pages of mostly sex club and circuit party ads every week. In fact, whenever I see a new issue, I announce, "My favorite magazine!" and snatch one up. I'm drawn to it for the same inexplicable reason why I'll watch the same infomercial over and over.

Imagine my surprise when I not only read -- but was strangely touched by -- this week's cover story on two of my favorite people in the gay porn industry, Hot House's Steven Scarborough and Brent Smith. In the frank piece, they prove that two people can have a very normal, very loving relationship despite being surrounded by the craziness of this industry. They talk about their sobriety, dealing with jealousy, and making their bed together every morning.

Swoon!

The interview was written by Sister Roma and Lord Martine but is only available online as this unwieldy musical PDF (click here, but you've been warned). Otherwise, pick one up if you're in SF this weekend for the GAYVN Awards.

The Format Wars: Gay Porn Gets Its (Very) Close-Up

While more than a few studios, including Titan Media and Factory Videos, are shooting on high-definition film, the conventional wisdom that porn is not something you necessarily want to see in that much detail has been one of the reasons that no one has been releasing in HD. The other, of course, is the format wars that have plagued Hollywood, still recovering from it's 80s Betamax hangover. The result has been a good number of films shot in HD, but almost none have actually released titles in it (which is sort of like watching HD programming on a non-HD television).

This week Raging Stallion became the one of the first to take sides and will issue its GayVN-nominated, forty-scene GRUNTS trilogy just as soon as it can figure out pricing. Given that the original six-disc set was one of the industry's highest-priced (and highly coveted) releases, it won't be cheap. Meanwhile, European studio High Octane announced that it would release its latest in HD-DVD, as will Boykakke films. Titan Media's Bruce Cam will be signing his final film and first high-definition film, Breakers, this week in the Castro.

As for those unforgiving high-definition revelations, when you've got a big screen to fill and nothing but Katie Couric's raisin face to look at, I guess you deal with the occasional ingrown hair.

Superhung Colby Taylor Named 2008 NakedSwordshorse

There are few things that I enjoy running into more than Colby Taylor's delicious, nutritious, ambitious penis or its handsome, easy-going owner. Aside from his occasional locker-room indiscretions, he's got little of the pretention or vanity that marks his porn star peers -- just an charming guy with a sly smile and a gigantic penis. So I was happy to see that the 11-year industry veteran and GayVN winner would be picking up the mantle left by Jake Deckard and becoming NakedSword's 2008 NakedSwordsman.

He's in Vegas now at the Adult Entertainment Expo, flirting with fans on behalf of the NakedSword team (Jake is also there, as are Diesel Washington, Damien Crosse, Dean Flynn, and Aiden and Jordan Jaric). While Colby's easy enough to see around San Francisco, I can't resist the opportunity to congratulate him in person -- I'll let you know how he stacks up next to the Stratosphere.

Gay Porn Before & After: Danny Vox

Once upon a time Danny Vox was a promising young starlet whose striking, catalog-model good looks paired with his penchant for being a double-penetrable pass-around party bottom made him quite the irresistible porno paradox.

"Jewelry making" (or maybe it was the LTR with an a-list Hollywood director) put him in early retirement but (as I predicted when I interviewed him two years ago), his retirement has been dotted with comebacks a' plenty, including one in Ridgeline's upcoming Beyond Malibu.

Well it looks like his dirty-boy interior finally caught up with his squeaky-clean exterior ...

Gay Porn Awards: Us, please!

We're not awards whores, we swear -- and honestly, in the upcoming Cybersocket Awards, we want you to vote your conscience, not cause we begged you. But the truth is, we're up for Best Gay Blog again and we need your help. There are lots of sites our favorite sites up there, too, of course -- Dirty Boy Video, Sean Cody, Randy Blue, NakedSword.com, the Tim and Roma Show (none, thankfully, competing in our category). I know we're not exactly NPR but, uh, if you continue to expect the high-quality "journalism" and dirty pics from moistened holes for yet another sleazy year, feed our egos. Otherwise we'll keep all the good stuff for ourselves.

Gay Porn Controversy: Dark Alley's Passio

Given that celebrities have become so infantilized that they've stopped saying vagina in favor of pussyfooted vowel combos, you'd think that gay porn itself might be enough to sufficiently shock the media elite. But no, the media won't cover us unless we're jumping out of cakes at Gay Porn Days or dining on dildos in a Da Vinci tableau. Case in point: Dark Alley's Passio, a movie that looks dark, hot and fucked, but also genetically engineered to shock Bill O'Reilly into featuring it in the No Fisting Zone. Nevermind that Dark Alley's Fisting Underground featured more jaw-dropping visuals, the Dark Alley press push for Passio is positively bursting with fresh and controversial ideas for easy media digestion -- including hand-cut stills from Madonna's "Like A Prayer" video.

Black Jesus versus gay rapist Jesus? No contest on the offensivenss, but the chance that Passio will be covered on Entertainment Tonight: not likely. (Of course, I still can't cum watching Madge shill for Pepsi.) Of course, it got us to write about it ... thrice.

Folsom Poster Flak Makes Fox News

God, sometimes the Religious Right are so predictable. I guessed yesterday's gay porn Folsom Street Poster brouhaha would end up on O'Reilly Factor, but It was on Hannity & Colmes instead. The highlight was when they had this a male spokesman from Concerned Women (snicker!) For America on saying that Folsom Street Fair is "nothing short of a mini Sodom and Gomorrah dressed up as a gay pride event." Ha. Kudos to Sister Roma for being on Fox News twice in one year. She is officially my hero.

Religious Right Outraged by Folsom's Gay Porn Last Supper

Folsom Events set them up -- and they took the bait! In what's sure to end up as talking point on tonight's O'Reilly Factor, Concerned Women for America has called on CA elected officials to publicly condemn the poster for the 2007 Folsom Street Fair -- a parody of the Last Supper with apostle porn stars (Titan Exclusives Tober Brant & Dean Flynn), drag nuns (Sister Roma, natch), and -- gasp! -- a black Jesus (source Towleroad).

Despite the fact that Folsom Street Fair is a pan-sexual event, and there are women in the poster, they are -- of course -- blaming the 'Gays'. See their very hysterical, Francine Fishpaw-style press release here.)

See the full-sized poster here. Their timing could not be more perfect with Folsom coming up this weekend. Another victory for San Francisco Values ... just wait until they see Jesus climb off the cross and rape a priest in Dark Alley's Passio!

Gay Porn Bareback: Aaron Tyler Cums Clean

While Danny Roddick's death shows that studios can't monitor their stars off-screen behavior, we can at least make sure they do a better job of keeping them safe on-screen. As former bareback twink porn star Aaron Tyler recently claimed, the barebacking studios weren't as concerned. Like former barebacking sensation Brent Corrigan, Tyler is professing a condom conversion after a fall out with his former employers. Mark Adam's Vidioview alerted me to Aaron's MySpace blog, where the former Helix Film star says he wasn't aware of the dangers when he started shooting.

"... i was young and very stupid. I feel like it was a BIG mistake, but at the time i was broke and needed money and i was offered an extra hundred dollars for it. If i could go back and change this I would. It is totally UNSAFE and needs to be stopped..."

Danny Roddick Passes Away

We are shocked and utterly devastated to report that Danny Roddick died Thursday, according to a press release issued by COLT, the studio he was an exclusive with. The cause of death has not been released.

An extremely talented star who was on the verge of becoming a superstar, Danny debuted in Buckshot's HARD Studies in 2005, and has since appeared in Boot Black Blues, Big Rig, and Hostile. He's stars in Jerry Douglas' Brotherhood, and AMG Brasil's upcoming Amazônia: Capture & Release (where he was revealed to be the "gay porn star Mystery Man").

A Northern California native, Danny was also a hair stylist and romantically linked to fellow Buckshot Man Alex Chandler until earlier this year. No word on when or if a memorial service in his honor will be held. We will be posting information as it becomes available.

Our sincere condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

Gay Porn Fire Sale

Everyone seems to be focusing on the devastating fire that ripped through legendary "flamming" gay bar Micky's on Tuesday. Many are wondering where/if Cocktails With The Stars will resume (official word: "it is currently on hold"). But that's not even the only gay porn real estate news this week ...

1028 Stratem Court, the Virginia Beach home where Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes ran their (apparently) lucrative prostitution ring and (allegedly) plotted to kill Cobra Video owner Bryan Kocis, has been placed on the market -- and is priced to move at $679,000, although early new reports estimated the home's value at $750k (aren't gay supposed bring up real estate prices?)

According to the online listing, the 4000 square foot, five bedroom house was built in 2005 and features such amenities as cathedral ceilings and a two car garage. For that price you'd hope they threw in the massage table, multiple-head shower and hot tub, a few of the pimped out features clients would get use of, according to a signed affidavit from a former John.

Gay Porn Set: Raging Stallion's GRUNTS

The visits from homeland security aside, the Raging Stallion GRUNTS shoot a few weeks ago proved that "don't ask, don't tell" hasn't stopped thousands of guys from getting in on some action mano-a-mano. There were close to a dozen men on set with some relation to the military -- from Brodie Sinclair (also known as Derek Brodie), Victor Steele and new RS exclusive Ricky Sinz, all of whom recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to guys like Mason Garrett and Jake Deckard who practically grew up on base.

The rest of the GRUNTS recruits quickly fell in line -- when gay porn stars like Jake Deckard and Ricky Sinz start unleashing rage-filled drill sergeant tirades, it's hard to pretend you're anywhere other than Fort Bragg or Camp Pendelton. Luckily, the rogue warrior atmospherics carried into the sex, and guys who months ago were fighting for their lives on the ground were now fighting to outdo each other on screen with donkey punches, beer bottle pokes and spit-filled beat-downs.

The first GRUNTS movie releases this December, and with over 30 scenes shot on base last month, it looks like this troop surge is going to last for awhile -- no pull-out in sight.

Gay Porn Sets: GRUNTS, Collin O'Neal Raided

Pornographers are no stranger to the whims of law enforcement, but two recent incidents on porn sets might give flesh peddlers reason to pause before taking the camera on location. Saturday, Collin O'Neal called from the Dominican Republic where he and cameraperson extraordinaire Mr. Pam were shooting some local color for his World of Men series. A nosy neighbor spied a solo shoot in the backyard of the rental house and informed the authorities who promptly crashed the party. Mr. Pam was taken to the station and her camera and laptop confiscated.

Second, perhaps even more frightening, was a late-night visit from local military brass on the set of Raging Stallion-NakedSword co-production of GRUNTS. The military shoot, at a 100,000 acre ranch on a coastal valley in central California, wasn't nearly secluded enough from prying eyes. It's unclear whether nearby neighbors spotted actual military jeeps going on and off the property, or if the large-M*A*S*H style army base that director Chris Ward built was visible from the air (several Army bases are nearby and the shoots on the set were frequently interrupted by flyovers). The visitors didn't say they were from Homeland Security, but who knows? The gun shots on the property, the twenty-five men marches and the high-voltage electrical consumption would certainly have alerted a casual observer. Maybe it is possible to be too realistic.

In both cases, the objects of the investigation were shaken, but not deterred. Mr. Pam and company were able to escape with some fast talking and some sleight of hand (watch the porn on my camera disappear!) and Raging Stallion director Chris Ward merely pointed out that he was, in fact, shooting porn, not practicing for Ruby Ridge.

Gay Porn Stars As The Face of Fashion

Gay porn stars are the frequent "Special Guest Stars" in the whimsical dreams of faggy fashion designers. As far back as the early 80s, as documented in his Diaries, Andy Warhol excitedly recounts a weekend at Calvin Klein's house in Fire Island where Calvin and Halston were having their way with two blond porn stars he could only recall as being named "Lance and Leo".

More recently, we saw Jeff Stryker walk runway for Thierry Mugler and Johnny Hazzard walk for Boy George's nascent line B Rude. Luca Di Corso was featured in a spread in GQ and print ads promoting Tom Ford eyeware (see left) and of course Erik Rhodes and Ben Andrews showed up all over a recent Loehmann's catalog.

It's therefore no surprise to see TitanMan Francois Sagat tied up in the designer milieu (Sagat being designer of sorts, provided the illustrations for T-shirts for his fashion school buddy Oliver Bobin's line Fade). But his recent work for Bernard Willhelm (a handsome lad himself) is a coup even for a top model, as he's the sole person featured in the designer's Spring/Summer lookbook and even appears in a surrealistically bizarre (even for fashion standards) 12-month calendar which features Sagat fucking what appears to be a Yugo (and getting fucked by what appears to be a bouquet of flowers).

You can see all the lookbook and calendar images over at Francois' Blog but I've picked out the more controversial and challenging ones (i.e., the porniest of the bunch) after the jump ...

Gay Porn On Conan O'Brien?

It's one thing that "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" was the top-grossing movie in the US this past weekend -- you could argue that the movie is using humor to take bring very real gay issues to the forefront. But when Conan O'Brien "accidentally" plays a CyberBears clip (without attribution or permission) instead of a clip from "Chuck & Larry", it makes me wonder if its doing any good whatsoever. I know, I know -- it's all "just a joke", right? Well, real funny stuff:

See the clip from Conan here. Also see out this "humorous" blog entry written by unskinny Conan staff writer Aaron Bleyaert who chose the clip (and all the "ew gross!" comments).

(For the record, the clip used was from Feed The Bears.)

Kent North's Sad Demise

Deaths, accidental or otherwise, are quite sad, and Kent North's apparent suicide last Wednesday is no exception. A week of sensationalist detective work online followed, with exigetical readings of the official Hot House press release and various blogs detailing suspected methods and porn-stars-are-sure-unhappy handwringing from the peanut gallery. Whether it was an accidental or purposeful overdose matters little.

Kent North, from the little I knew him, was gracious and charming. Whatever his other issues, porn seemed to be one of the highspots in his life. Fans who want to send their condolences to his partner, Lloyd, may do so through Hot House at the address below:

Tommy Saxx: The Gay Porn Mugshot

Oh, brother ... another week, another gay porn mug shot.

Dandy David Wiles, 29, a Grapevine, Texas hospital tech, was arrested for going on a shopping spree with credit cards he stole from a man who died in the emergency room. Because the victim was police officer (and because he was caught on tape buying a big-screen TV at Target), quite a few people have picked up the story. Once they find out that Dandy Wiles was also the gay porn star Tommy Saxx, I imagine they will probably have a field day.

Tommy Saxx was never a major player in gay porn, but his 1998 debut in Skateboard Sliders always stood out to me. Although his performances were solid and he had a great dick, he didn't quite fit into any of the standard porn star categories (not quite a twink, not quite a hunk), and perhaps because of this, his career never went too far. He tried his hand with Fetish (in Mustang's Shock 2, Channel 1's Slap Happy) but everything went downhill quick for him once he went bareback in 2001 and little else was heard from him since.

Porn Star Retirement: The Land of Ho Return

Call them pre-comebacks.

Fresh from his win as Grabby's Performer of the Year, Trevor Knight, the 11-inched jackhammer top from Big Dick Club and a number of other highly erotic artistic masterpieces, has evidently decided to retire, according to snoops at Woody's Reviews. He made the announcement, of course, by posting his decision on his MySpace blog.

In a similar note, we're sad to report Pete Ross' decision to leave the flesh trade. I'd normally tell you to start the clock running (Mason Wyler was reputedly retired a few months back, yet is shooting again, as I think is Mike Roberts), but Petey's taken down his Porn Rebel websites and there's no trace of him on MySpace. If it weren't for all those home video memories, it'd be like porn's red-headed stepchild never existed.

We hardly knew ye, boys! See you later this year at some industry event with free booze.

More Gay Porn on Fox News

Say what you will about Fox News. They may get dogged by the liberal media for being a conservative mouthpiece, but facts are facts: no other news organization is as gay porn friendly. In February, Bill O'Lielly did gave COLT Studio some well-deserved press, then in March they heralded porn stud Rod Majors as an American Hero.

Then this past week in a particularly flaccid segment on the already insipid "Red Eye", reporter Bill Schulz does a little bump-and-grind with donkey-dicked gay porn star Spike, (star of such favorites as Spiked, and personal fave Echoes) at 0:54 into the clip:

Cuadra on Killing Kocis:
“He never saw it coming”

Still more shocking evidence is being released this morning from the bombshell 54-page affidavit indicting Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes in the murder of Bryan Kocis.

Citizen's Voice is reporting that investigators used electronic surveillance to record a meeting at a nude beach in San Diego between Cuadra, Kerekes, Brent Corrigan and Grant Roy, where they apparently bragged about killing Kocis. Surveillance transcripts reveal:

-- Cuadra and Kerekes allegedly spoke about the inside of the home and what happened in the moments leading up to the slaying.

-- On the murder of Kocis, Cuadra allegedly said, “It was quick; he never saw it coming ... It almost seems like I got revenge and I know that sounds fucked up.”

-- When Grant Roy asked if Kocis felt any pain, Cuadra allegedly replied, “Don’t worry, he went quick.”

Meanwhile, even more charges against the couple pile up: They have since been charged with conspiracy to violate Virginia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to receive money from the earnings of male and female prostitution.

Harlow actually posted photos from this nude beach meeting on his blog -- maybe if you look closely enough, you can see feds listening in.

Update On Harlow Cuadra Arrest

As the details surrounding the investigation of Bryan Kocis' murder emerge, things aren't looking too good for Harlow Cuadra and his Boy Batter partner Joseph Kerekes.

Virginian-Pilot has released details from a 54-page affidavit that spells out the evidence leading up to their arrest as well as the charges against them (in addition to criminal homicide, Cuadra and Kerekes may be facing robbery, burglary, arson, theft, tampering with evidence and conspiracy.)

Roman Ragazzi Scandal Unfolds

It's obviously naive to think if you do porn there won't be certain consequences; if you're, say, an elementary school teacher or (in the case of Roman Ragazzi, in politics), you are going to lose your job if and when people find out you fuck men on camera for money.

What I found bizarre about Roman's story appearing in the NY Post is that it seemed as if the paper was somehow behind Roman's resignation form the Israeli consulate. After a swarm of text messages, phone calls and emails from Collin O'Neal this past weekend (Collin is traveling through China at the moment) it turns out that there may be more than meets the eye and the scandal may be the work of a stalker/con-man with some majorly cruel intentions.

Gay Porn Scandal: Roman Ragazzi Revealed!

Roman Ragazzi, we hardly knew you! We posted photos of him last month and though he seemed, well, too good to be true ... and everyone seemed to agree. People have been going ga-ga over the stud and this morning the New York Post is reporting that the Raging Stallion Exclusive is also an Israeli consulate official working at the United Nations.

They may have also been responsible for him losing his job! It seems an intrepid reporter at the Post caught wind of Roman's gay porn alter ego and contacted him directly via his Big Muscle profile. When they confirmed that he was actually Dror Barak and worked for the administrative offices of the Israeli consulate, they contacted the consulate and Roman quickly tendered his resignation. Can you say witch hunt? We just hope he doesn't resign from porn.

Poked in the Pokey: Porn Stars Turn Prison Studs

I came across a site called PrisonStuds.com in the paper the other day. It seems an ex-con identified only as Steven has captured a new amateur fetish -- guys who've been on the receiving end of the justice system's long hard one. It's part of a project to get ex-cons a decent income following their release: a noble cause, no doubt. According to "Steve," the straight-but-not-narrow brain behind the brawn:

"These guys have a lot on the line and are hesitant to do stuff on video. You know, most ex-cons go back -- it's a matter of time. And homosexuality isn't accepted in prison. A lot of guys do it, especially with long prison sentences, but for everyone to know -- you have to be a real badass. So a lot of these guys just don't want people to know." ("Pros and Cons," San Francisco Chronicle, 4/30/07)

Hmmm. Sort of. I checked it out the site and was suprised to see that, next to the typically rugged felons, a few old industry favorites are volunteering to drop the soap, like Shane Rollins and Troy Punk. While I can't vouch for "Viking" Troy Punk's claimed California and Canadian prison stints, I can in good conscience confirm that for Shane Rollin has been behind bars -- in Hot House's Justice and Mustang's Lockdown.

On a side note, you can also buy used clothes on the site including, curiously enough, wifebeaters. I'm surprised Mark Dalton isn't on the site...

Dirty, Dirty Sanchez: Anatomy of a Hustler

The slang definition of a hustler is a man who has sex for money. Gay men -- as reflected by classics like "Hustler White" and "My Own Private Idaho" -- romanticize the lone streetwalker with a heart of gold, but the word has far more insidious implications in the wider lexicon. American Heritage defines "hustler" as "a person who employs fraudulent or unscrupulous methods to obtain money".

It's certainly amusing to see gay porn star turned right-wing mouth piece Matt Sanchez/Rod Majors squirm in this hilarious interview with former "Cheaters" host Jack E. Jett, where not only does he say he doesn't remember sucking cock on film, (these should refresh your memory, hon!) but he goes so far as to espouse this hateful Ann Coutler-esque sound bite:

"Gay men are like fundamentalist Muslims. If you leave their religion they have to send out a fatwa and demand your execution."

But as it turns out, American Heritage's definition may be a more accurate way of describing Sanchez. His gay porn past and subsequent amnesia may be be the least of his problems, as he may soon be facing criminal charges for stealing from Army veterans, of all people ...

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.

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 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).

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.

Bill O'Reilly Lashes Out At "Gay Porn Pride"

In his latest bout of neocon culture war-mongering against "San Francisco Values", on today's O'Reilly Factor god warrior Bill O'Reily took San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to task for issuing an official proclamation on behalf of the city for the COLT 40th Anniversary Party ...

I chuckled when he showed a picture of Roma and Buckshot Man Danny Roddick ... But then I got peeved ...

Why did he have to use the SAME PICTURE WE DID OF CARLO MASI jumping out of a cake?

Actually, it's good to know you're reading GayPornBlog, Bill.

Gay Porn News: XXX Raids in Times Square

Gay porn producers don't normally view the federal government as allies. In the past year, nearly a dozen adult companies have been subjected to raids by the FBI looking for record-keeping violations. So on Saturday morning when I got an text message from Owen Hawk with a pic featuring US Marshalls outside a run-down XXX store, I suspected the worst. Who would have guessed that they were there as a team?

Hawk and partner Matthias von Fistenberg from Dark Alley Media, along with the boys at Pitbull Productions, raided a series of adult video stores in Times Square (no doubt sandwiched between ESPN Zone and the Disney Store). The stores were selling counterfeit DVDs from studios including Hot House, Falcon, Raging Stallion, Titan and Jet Set.

With all the hullabaloo about file-sharing -- as well as the Orwellian sirens-and-flashing-lights "do not share this DVD" segments at the beginning of certain movies -- it's easy to forget that one of the biggest incursions into gay porn producers sales somes from a guy in a back room with a DVD duplicator. It's a good thing Dark Alley got them this month -- you have to wonder if the US Marshalls are going to be as sympathetic when Gaytanamo comes out.

(Note: Michael Lucas has informed me that his company -- Lucas Entertainment -- was actually behind the legal dispute that led to the raid. Due to the contentious relationship and competiting claims between the companies involved, I can't say who's right but felt I should note it.)

Gay Porn News: Few Updates in Cobra Murder Case

The murder of Cobra Video kingpin Bryan Kocis has left police scratching their heads almost two weeks after his charred remains were discovered. Their one lead may have just gone cold, too: The man police wanted to question in connection to the slaying -- an escort from Norfolk, VA, named Harlow -- may have an alibi.

Last week police recovered an email from Kocis' hard drive where he said he would be meeting with a potential model the night of his murder. A picture of the model was released and he was quickly identified as Harlow from NorfolkMaleEscorts.com (where he's billed as a "stud wonder"). He also appears on the amateur site BoyBatter.com.

A Pennsylvania paper is reporting that Harlow claims to have never met Kocis, is "freaked out" that his image is being linked to the murder, and alleged that somebody is "playing a sick joke or something.”

Gay Porn News: Jake Deckard Named NakedSwordman 2007

After four weeks of intense deliberation the team at NakedSword has crowned their prince. Beautiful beastmaster Jake Deckard will be NakedSwordsman 2007 (past winners include Owen Hawk, Ben Jakks and Marcus Iron. The furry New Yorker came westward to San Francisco shortly after signing with Raging Stallion (previously, he had been an exclusive with Titan) and his laid back demeanor and proto-sexual nature (in his first interview as NakedSwordsman, he extols the sight of crack-hair wrapped around his meaty cock) seem an easy fit for the hilly Gomorrah.

In addition to wielding a scepter and go-go dancing in short shorts around the country (witness his anti-goverment 2257 dance here or his marathon butt-sex session with Matt Cole and Jason Crew here).

Despite the flowery portrait painted by Felchbot Fleshbot, Jake's actual initiation involved a bottle of poppers ('82 vintage), a giant commerorative scythe and a eleven barely restrained Dream Team members (all of whom were up for the honor). I'm sure Dominick Dunne is already writing the preamble to yet another high society crime (Pete Ross, we've got our eye on you!)

Gay Porn News: Cobra Video Owner Murdered

The charred remains of Bryan Charles Kocis were identified by Pennsylvania authorities earlier today and a formal murder investigation has begun. An autopsy revealed that he was stabbed to death. They believe that his house was intentionally set on fire to cover up the murder and his remains had to be identified by dental records, several PA newspapers are reporting.

No formal suspects have been named, but Citizen's Voice is reporting that police have questioned three California men he was involved in a "business dispute" with, one of which presumably is Sean Lockhart.

Kocis, 44, was best known for his complicated ongoing legal battle with Lockhart, better known as gay porn star Brent Corrigan, 21. Jason Curious is reporting that the two were seen hugging at Krave in Las Vegas earlier this month and that they had finally reached a settlement to their legal dispute that would have involved them working together again.

Gay Porn Stars Come Out Against Meth

Tweaker.org, the tell-it-like-it-is San Francisco-based anti-crystal meth concern unveiled their ad latest campaign featuring gay porn stars Parker Williams, Matt Cole, Matthew Rush, Michael Brandon, Derrick Hanson, Jay Black and Tom Lazzari.

But they're not the only ones to take a stand against meth. Spencer Quest released a statement via email last week from rehab, where he has 9 weeks left on a 90-day program to treat his crystal habit.

“I finally accepted, the week before Christmas, that my meth use had become out-of-control. And while I've struggled with various addictions all my life and have been able to handle them, even stop them in their tracks, crystal meth got the best of me. And I nearly killed myself. Intentionally.”

2007 Gay Porn "Oscar" Noms Announced

The GAYVN Awards -- the closest the gay porn industry has to the Oscars -- were announced late yesterday to little fanfare (most likely because everyone is at the AVN Expo in Vegas but lil old me...)

As expected, Lucas Entertainment's La Dolce Vita was the most nominated with a total of 14. Buckshot Productions's Big Rig, Falcon's Velvet Mafia and Hot House's Justice were tied with 12 noms each.

COLT Studio Group garnered the most nominations -- 24 total -- with Channel 1 Releasing coming in a close second with 20.

Really, no shockers here ... unless you take the time to think about a few really glaringly ovbvious omissions in the lot ...

The awards will be held on February 24th, and for the first time they're being in San Francisco, at the Castro Theater -- smack dab in the heart of Gayville.

Gay Porn "Best of" Lists

Just as almost every major gay porn studio will garner a nod when the GayVN Award nominations for gay porn come out later this month (last year featured roughly thirty categories with ten to twelve nominees in each), so do the inevitable year end lists. ManNet's Butch Harris came out with his today ("The 100 Best Videos of 2006") and nearly every studio came out with a press release detailing their accomplishments. Good for them.

It takes a lot of work to produce as many gay porn movies as the industry does and it's hard to keep a up enthusiasm and quality when you're shooting three movies a month. There were plenty of great movies on Butch's list, but it's hard for porn lovers to sort through. Want something a little more manageable? Try NakedSword's Hit List. Culled from the viewing habits of the gay porn sites massive membership base, the site ranked the top viewed movie for each month last year (including personal favorites like Arabesque (Raging Stallion), Big Rig (Buckshot Productions), Trapped (Mustang Studios) and Fire Island Cruising 7 (Lucas Entertainment). They can't claim to be definitive, but at least you're assured a good time.
